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.

  • I have set up icloud for the first time on iphone 4 and its still says downloading after 12 hours.  Is this right?

    I have set up icloud for the first time on iphone 4 and its still says downloading after 12 hours.  Is this right?

    I think you may not using the right technical terms.  When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped.  This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
    If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.

  • 10.9 installed but App store still says "download"

    I've installed 10.9 but when I check the App store for updates it still says "download" not "installed" on the Mavericks page. Why is it not recognizing that I've already installed and am using it?

    In case you want to re download Mavericks on your other Macs, it's available.
    You can also use that download to create a bootable USB >  Video Tip: Creating a bootable Mavericks USB installer - TUAW
    Otherwise, just ignore the Download button.

  • Why does Mavericks still show as not installed

    I did a clean install of Mavericks from usb and in the MAS, still shows that I have not downloaded Mavericks.  Grey button still says 'download'.  See screenshot. Is there a way to have it change to 'installed', so that MAS recognizes that it is downloaded and updates automatically when 10.9.1 drops?

    Hello Jay,
    Thank you for your question.  Unlike applications purchased from the Mac App store, Mac OS X will show "Download" even after it has downloaded.  This is beneficial if you need to install Mac OS X onto an alternate drive. 
    If you have installed OS X Mavericks, you will still get the software updates even though you see the word "Download" by it in the Mac App Store.  As long as you see Version 10.9 in About this Mac, you are currently up to date:
    From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac. The About This Mac window shows your OS X version number.

  • HT1766 So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do?

    So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do? I'm getting frustrated  

    I took it off WiFi and complained on their Facebook page.  I think their
    salespeople telling folks to always stay on WiFi is their way of making
    money!  Take your phones OFF of WiFi, put Task Killer Advanced (google play
    store - FREE) on your phone and hit that repeatedly during the day.  It
    will shut down the junk running in the background that loves to nom on your
    data.  The other thing I do is to constantly dump cached data from my
    phone.  We did all three of these things and we have only burned up .7 of
    our 3GB limit since June 1st!  Not even a whole GB in 19 days!  Also,
    remove all updates from every app that your phone came with (bloatware)
    every so often. And shut the phone down every night after you run the task
    killer and empty your data cache. Somewhere along the line I will learn how
    to completely uninstall that darned bloatware and I will pass it on!
    Let me know if this makes a difference for you!

  • Dhiownloaded ML today ,in app store still saying download but in computer spec says I'm running 10.8 ?

    downloaded ML today ,in app purchases it still says download although MAC spec it says im running 10.8?

    What MAC spec? The simplest way to ascertain which OS you're running is to click on the Apple menu and select About this Mac. If the version number is 10.8, then you're running ML.

    How do you know that the owner lives outside your country?
    You are wasting your time here as whomever lost the phone will most likely not look here as this is not a lost and found.  If the phone is unlocked (doubtful) try calling some of the contacts on the phone so maybe they can reach the owner. In anycase turn it over to the police. They are probably better than you at trying to locate the owner.

    No, that can't be done with and MST file  if you have already installed the application.  Yes,  there is a place where you can reference for Security settings for both Acrobat And Adobe Reader.  It's called the Enterprise Toolkit Preference Reference and it's located here:  http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/index.html

  • Podcasts not downloading after installing iTunes update

    I just installed the new update, and now NONE of my podcast sources are downloading. I have tried rebooting, and got the same result. I have never before had all of my regular sources unavailable at the same time. Anyone else having this problem after installing the update on a Mac?

    ME TOO. Now I want to know how I can DOWNgrade iTunes.
    Also, when I have left iTunes open for a while, I come back to it, and the window is all indecipherable garbage.
    And don't waste your time. I have done it all, and nothing has helped. I either download podcast by painful podcast or I don't get anything at all.

  • Why does Quicktime still say "Player" after I upgraded to "PRO"?

    I upgraded my iMac's Quicktime to PRO but I am still unable to access the PRO functions. I need the PRO functions to convert some mpg files to .avi's, but it won't let me. The registration says I am running pro, but the application still says "player!"

    I think what you are saying is that it cannot open most MPEG files, is that correct? I have a video camera that puts them on my hard drive in MPEG format and I need to convert them to .AVI so I can edit them in FC Express. Do I need a different piece of software other than Quicktime?

  • UEFI test still says "Failed" after repairs.

    My PC had been sent in for repairs regarding the optical drive because it failed the "UEFI test" .  The DVD drive works fine now but when I ran the test again, it still says it failed!  I called and spoke to a technical service agent and he said to update my UEFI software maybe it's out of date!  If that's the problem, I have no idea how to get the updated version.  Any suggestions on what is going on with my PC?  Thanks.

    Hi @HP-ENVY-23 ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Mavericks still spinning beachballs after 6 months.

    It's driving me mad. Spinning beachball for even the slightest action like clicking a folder to open it (takes 5-15 seconds), fan comes on all the time, Mail app takes 5 minutes to load and slows everything down, using an application like Lightroom is now a nightmare with delays even selecting photos to view. I want my nice Mac back.
    i've run EtreCheck as recommended. Does this provide any clues? Tried restarting in safe mode.Thinking my next move is to reinstall Mavericks.

    I see two issues right away that are causing you problems. Clean My Mac and Genieo
    However, I also see a lot of failed Kernel Extensions. I suspect you have a lot of older files that are still trying to run.
    The forums are full of users with computers that no longer work correctly after running these so call 'cleaners' (Memory Clean, CleanMyMac, and MacKeeper). Do not install any third party so called Mac cleaning utilities. They can do harm to your Mac.
    See this thread for removing Clean My Mac
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25680635#25680635
    Genieo - how to remove:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
    You have two choices.
    1) try to fix by removing all the old files and repair damage done by clean my mac
    Or
    2) Do a clean install of Mavericks and bring over only your personal files.
    If you want to prove to yourself that it would be worth while to do the clean install, we can setup a small 20 GB partition for Mavericks and you can test Mavericks out without all the baggage in your current install.

  • AE CC on Mavericks still cannot open AFTER 12.0.1 Patch

    I have had CC for a couple months, registered and activated and no longer in Trial mode. I upgraded to Mavericks, and downloaded the 12.0.1. Patch. When I opened AE CC, it gave me the message:
    After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/Chitty/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/Workspaces.419.1407351712202401.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.
    It then failed and quit. I even tried copying the 11.0 Workspaces.xml into the 12.0 folder, which solved that error message, but then it froze and was unable to create "....Preferences.xml" and and whole host of other XML files. It seems to lack permissions to write files into my Library folders, or something like that. I've tried compeltely uninstalling, re-installing, signing out, signing in, and every other imaginable combination of resets to get this to work, and can't. I'm on a 2009 Macbook Pro, and I believe I upgraded straight from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.

    Mac OS has incorrectly set the permissions for some files.
    When you upgrade a Mac OS (as opposed to installing the new version fresh), Mac OS will _often_ set permissions of folders and files incorrectly.
    You'll see this problem in programs like After Effects in the form of error messages saying that a file can't be written, overwritten, or renamed.
    To fix this in the case of After Effects, go to the preferences folder and set the _entire_ preferences folder ( /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/ ) and all of its contents to be writable, not read-only.
