  • Maverick isn't downloading to my macbook pro mid 2009?

    Initially, I when to the apps and hit download and it came onto my desktop but wasn't moving.  So I deleted it and then tried to download from app store but it's not even downloading.  What did I do wrong?

    Make sure your Mac meets Mavericks requirements:
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later)

  • I add my comcast email to the mail on a iMac running Maverick. It downloads all my emails from there. How do i get my email to delete of the the server

    I add my comcast email to the mail on a iMac running Maverick. It downloads all my emails from there. How do i get my email to delete of the the server

    Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

  • Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything.

    Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.

    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
    If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks.

  • I'm having an error message 'OS X Mavericks failed to download' every time when I try to download it

    I'm having an error message 'OS X Mavericks failed to download' or '' An error has occured'' every time when I try to download it,, plz help me to fix it... :/

    I have been reading the forum and other sites and no surprise that bugs do creep in from time to time and need to be fixed. Any new OS will come with bugs and i think this is one.  Yes they will fix it and then we will be able to download, but I do not think that the problem is due to too much traffic. However, is good to let Apple know about problem, so they can fix it.

  • Mac OS X 10.7.5 upgrade to Mavericks never can download the software

    made: mid 2011 iMac
    current OS: Mac OS X 10.7.5
    every requirements met. I tried ~ 10 times by clicking the download button in apple store for Mavericks.
    it shows downloading at first and after a while (~15 mins) everything just disappeared. the installing icon in lunchpad, the downloading sign in apple store both gone!! without any warning messages, just gone........
    I first thought it was the internet delaying, but NO! my high speed internet seems good in any way... maybe there's long line up to download Mavericks (demand's too high)? i don't know, but it's been a while already...... anyone can explan what happens to me???

    I would try it again. Your home network should be fine, just make sure you are all up to date with iTunes, etc updates and you should be good to go. Hope that helps.

  • HT6030 Mavericks won't download on my MAC

    Mavericks wont install/download on my iMAC  I am using Lion OS right now.

    Make sure your MacBook Pro meets Mavericks requiremennts  > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    Mavericks is a 5.35GB file and requries a high speed broadband connection and requires 8GB or more of available disk space.
    Backup all important files before upgrading
    Checked to see how much space is available ??
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Whenever i try to download OS X Mavericks, it will download to 995.6MB then will freeze and not download any further.

    Whenever i try to download OS X Mavericks, it will download to 995.6MB then will freeze and not download any further. I have tried restarting the download a couple of times and still nothing happens. Restarted computer and still nothing. I don't know what is happening or if it is a problem my side or on the apple side of things. I am running quite a powerful computer so i dont think it is the computer that is having problems either.
    Help would be highly greatful. Thanks!

    Hi casturrr,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If your whole system is hanging or freezing completely, and it is occuring during the download and not during the install portion, you may find the troublehsooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • OS X Mavericks does not download, infact shows downloaded but it doesn't appear anywhere in Launchpad and neither can I download it again

    I am having trouble downloading the OS X Mavericks. In my initial attempt to download the update from the App Store, it started downloading but stalled. It wasn't paused, but just stalled. I restarted the Mac and tried to install it again. The next time the download commenced but stalled after reaching a certain point (it appears to have tried to restart from where it left off earlier), but the download doesn't continue. Says "Mac OS X Mavericks failed to download". Now on deleting the icon from Launchpad, when I try to install it again from the App Store, it shows downloaded. How do I restart the download process and install Mac OS X Mavericks? I am currently on OS X Lion 10.8.5.

    Yes, I do have an external drive, which I now disconnected and restarted the Mac to try installing. Didn't work.
    I then kept it disconnected and restarted in Safe Mode, which again when trying to download showed "Downloaded". So didn't work.
    Then tried one final time by plugging the external drive back in, and starting in normal mode and it appeared to have started downloading once again.
    Unfortunately, it didn't give up so easily and the download is now stuck at 996MB.I think it's really testing my patience now.  I tried looking up the communities for a similar issue and see that others have had their download stop at 996MB, but it seems to be an ISP/Router related issue, and I don't have alternatives for either.
    Have written to the local Apple retailer for support, fingers crossed.

  • OS X Mavericks still says download after installing it

    I recently downloaded and installed OS X Mavericks on my new MacBook Pro without any issue. But in the app store in my purchases, everything says installed but the Mavericks still says download as if I didnt download it. I checked in the Apple menu and it says OS X 10.9, and I got all the apps that came with it so it is installed. I press in download just for curiosity and it started downloading the wholw 5.20 Gb of Mavericks OS, but is like crazy, it says downloading, 200 mb then it goes back to 10 mb then it goes to 300mb and goes back again. In the launchpad there's an invisible icon that says downloading and also goes back and forward again and again...Anyone can tell me whats going on? Help!
    Thanks

    Oh ok, but how do I stop that download? I cannot even pause it. Its like crazy going back and forward. Tried signing out the app store but still there. I've seen other macs of my friends and theirs say installed.

  • Having trouble maintaining remote desktop connection with Mavericks.  What is this about needing RDC 3.7.1 with Mavericks.  I downloaded RDC 3.7.1 but it does not replace RDC 2.1.0 previously installed.

    Lucky you, it did not work for many users (which as it should be) so MS produced a new version, for ML and Mavericks.
    It's in the App Store, for free.
    FYI, I assume that you were attempting to post a picture, no one can see it (except maybe you) because it is on your computer rather than the forum server.

    Use the small camera icon in the editor toolbar to post it.
    It also looks like you attempted to use Apple Remote Desktop, which does not do Windows.

  • HT201364 Mavericks won't download even after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard on a Mac OS 10.6.8 and still Mavericks won't download.

    Memory -  menu About This Mac will show you the memory.
    Space remaining - make your hard drive visible in Finder's sidebar using Finder/Preferences/General if it is not already there and then select it. Do a Get Info (command - I) and the available space will be shown.
    What happens when you click download in the App Store? If you look at the App Store Purchases tab does it show there?

  • Mavericks won't download, it just says Mavericks couldn't download, then it says an error occurred.

    A pop up will come and say Mavericks couldn't download.  Then is the purchases page it says an error occurred.  it usually stops somewhere around 995.2 and it does it every time.  I've tried multiple solutions almost everyday for weeks.  It never worked once.  I will attatch pictures of some of the problem.
