Should i download the full OS X installer ?

is it worth doing or just update? any help would be appereciated, its for a imac.

What asked you if you wanted to download the full Mavericks installer? Do you or don't you already have Mavericks installed?
And, yes, it's a pretty large file - so depending on your Internet download speed could take up to 14 hours.
The Time Machine problem is a seperate issue but, if I were you, I would keep the drive plugged in and try rebooting.

  • Use the Updates page to install the 10.9 update or if you would like to download the full OS X installer click Continue.

    When I downloaded the OX I still have in the apple store on the OS X "download" When I click again on it I receive the following message : OS X v10.9 is already installed on this computer. Use the Updates page to install the 10.9 update or if you would like to download the full OS X installer click Continue. What does it mean "full" OS X installer?I downloaded already three times the same.

    Mac OS X 10.9.3 is the latest released version of the Mavericks operating system.
    You can see what you have installed by clicking the apple, left-side of the menu bar, About This Mac and you will see below the Apple logo the installed version of the operating system.
    If it is not 10.9.3 and you want to update to that version, then continue with the download and install.
    Or, you can simply click Software Update (below About This Mac) and the system will do that for you.

  • How to download the full debug tool installation file?

    HI,
    I only find the installation program for debug tools at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365, but this program still needs to connect to Internet for downloading the real installation files. 
    Where is the location to fully download the debug tools installation file? I don't want to download it every time when I need to re-install it.
    thanks

    Microsoft, in their unfathomable wisdom, removed the standalone installer of the debugging tools. Now it seems to be available only in the SDK or WDK. So go get one of these kits (even if you do not want), locate the debug tools installer in the downloaded
    stuff and copy it to install on other systems.

    I signed into Itunes and as part of my Downloaded list I saw that OS X was not downloaded back from October 2013. When I clicked to download this was the message. Should I Continue to Download  or is OS X v10.9.3 the most current and/or sufficient? I'm obviously  a bit confused. A little help with this would be great
    Thank You,

  • HT5839 After having installed OS X v10.9.1 on my computer, the apple store purchases suggests downloading 10.9 update or the full OS X installer. Do I need to do that?

    Are these shown in the App Store's Updates page? If not, then you don't need them. You could download the full Mavericks installer application if you want to create a bootable USB flash drive installer or just to keep handy should you need it (store it in your Downloads folder.)

  • HT4009 I purchased an upgrade inside the free app, however it shows I paid for the free app & now I can not download the full version.  What should I do?

    Finish the download on your computer in iTunes and then sync the app to the iPad and then delete it. You will probably have to let it fully download before you can delete it.
    You can try restarting the iPad and see if the download will resume - Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Yoy can try  this as well and see if the download will resume. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Look in iTunes and see if there is a pending download in there that might be causing the delay. If there is a download there, try to finish that one first.

  • I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

    i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

    There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
    You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
    Quit the CC Desktop application,
    Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
    LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

  • Where do I download the full versions (not Cloud) of lightroom and photoshop?

    I just rebuilt my computer, and need to re-download the full application package of Photoshop and Lightroom.  I do not use the cloud version.  Where can I pull down the files?

    I was finally able to get through to phone support, and he provided the needed links to download Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop 6. 
    I did go to the download and installation help before posting, which provided no help, I'm afraid.  What is needed is a FAQ on where to find the "download the application" that isn't for the the Cloud version (which seems to be what Adobe wants us all to have - I understand the reasoning, but don't want that) and the "classic software-on-my-machine" version which is seriously buried on the site.

  • HT201272 What about audio books?  my audio book didnt download the full book.  a file is missing.  how do I see that to download?

    What about audio books?  my audio book didnt download the full book.  a file is missing.  how do I see that to download?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download. If it didn't download correctly then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Do you have to get a full windows disc to install on mac or can you download the full windows with a product key?

    Well I've been trying to find a full installment of Windows 7 32/64 bit Ultimate/Home Edition/Professional but I can't find a disc. So basically I'm asking can I just download Windows 7 from the internet with the product key or do I HAVE TO get a disc and install it through Bootcamp?

    I don't know if you can legally download a full Windows 7 installer, but if you can find one, you just need to copy the image to a flash drive. See:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4087200?start=0&tstart=0
    Amazon has several different versions of Windows 7 available on disk, though. Have you tried them?
    Regards.

  • ITunes update downloads the full 58.4mb rather than that which has changed?

    OK, as a new apple product person after purchasing the iPhone, a new Nano iPod (for the wife) and a iPod for the kids, why oh why does each rendition of the update to iTunes have to download the full set of programs including the Quicktime (which you can not seperate out of the update)?
    Is this a common procedure in the Apple/Mac world? I was about to consider making the big "move" from PC to Apple/Mac because it seemed that they use more intelligence and user friendly options than Microsoft, but if this is what I am to expect maybe I should hold off on the "move"?
    One more small thing: Why doesn't this forums' spell checker know what an iPod, iPhone, iTunes, iAnything is? Isn't this an Apple forum? haha
    Thanks

    You are right, it does this on the Windows version.
    This is not the case on the Mac version. It was fast. Either it was an incremental update, or it downloaded in the background before offering to update. I ampretty sure it was incremental.
    You are on your own with the spell checker.

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?
    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?
