Trying to upgrade to Mavericks
I have an iMac running OSX 10.7.5 trying to upgrade to Mavericks. I downloaded 10.9.2 but I get a message saying it won't load without 10.9.1. I downloaded 10.9.1 but it won't load without 10.9 .....And I can't get 10.9 from anywhere, it seems to have been superceded. Any suggestions of how I can get the upgrade to 10.9.2?
Thanks

No you don't
I go to the App Store and search for Mavericks but it only has 10.9.1 or 2
The full version of Mavericks (5.30 gb long) it's 10.9.2, there are not previous versions 10.9.1 or 10.9.0.
Maybe you are searching in google or in the apple web site. Not in the App Store.
App Store its an app in your aplications folder.

I have a 13-inch MacBook Mid-2009 running on IOS X Lion and am trying to upgrade to Mavericks but after the download and starting installation the point where you choose which disk to use it says my hard drive is being used for Time Machine backups so it can not be used. I have turned off the Time Machine but do not know how to remove the backups from the hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Time Machine backups I no longer actually need and install Mavericks? I have moved all my files to a separate terabyte hard drive but that drive does not have the GUID partition scheme to be used for installation. So I am stuck with one internal hard drive I cant use due to Time Machine and an external hard drive I cant use due to this GUID partition problem. How can I work around this and finally upgrade to Mavericks?

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, the App Store is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".
Is there anything I should do differently? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
Kindly help.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -

I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. It tells me to close all open applications. However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed. Any suggestions?
Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

How fast is your download speed? If it's less than 10Mbps, it's going to take hours.

Snow Leopard clock problem Trying to upgrade to Mavericks
I have a class set of 28 mac books that I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. All have the hardware to run the OS. The problem I am having is all the computers have clocks that are incorrect by a few minutes either way, and I cannot get them to talk to the app store. What can I do to get this problem solved? (By the way, our district network is designed and run by mac-hating PC nazis, so I am going to try this at home tonight).
Thanks. I'm going to do that. The intersting thing... I brought one of my student computers home and had ZERO problems upgrading here. I have my external drive that I use for re-imaging the machines in the summer, so the plan is to load Mavericks on it at home, then add it to all of the school machines from the drive.
Thanks for your help. -
Hung up with my Quicken while trying to upgrade to Maverick
While trying to upgrade to Maveric we ran into a snag. It seems that my Quicken 2007 is not compatable with the new operating system. This is a show stopper since we use it to balance several checking accounts and keep tabs on savings and other accounts. Balancing the check book it's its primary function and we do not need to pay bills, track investments, or perform other acts of high science.
Quicken has a very clever way of not having to deal with it's customers. When you call in for help you must have an incodent number, but if you can't speak to anyone how would you come buy such a number. Anyway it is clear that they are not the least bit interested in supporting anyone with a Mac. Reviews of there new software demonstrate that. They do have some software that would upgrade my Quicken to work with the new OS, but I have yet to discover how you can contact some one to order it. So now it it time to find some new software.
It needs to:
Open or import the current Quicken Files (from Quicken 2007)
Work with our current IOS OSX 10.6.8
Work well with Maverick
Balance several checking accounts
Provide reports of tax related information.
Reside on the computer and not have my information floating around in some cloud somewhere.
You would think that there would be an abundance of software out there that would meet this criteria. However when I find something that looks like it might work it either has very poor reviews or there is not enough information for me to determinf if it will work.
I have been very impressed with the information I have recieved from this forum so once again I shall go to the well. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I had already given you the link to purchase the downloaded version from Intuit. Since that link was offered by Intuit in February, 2012, you are the first person to suggest that it does not work for you. I facetiously suggested that you were not in the United States and obtained a somewhat snarky geography lesson...

Thanks for trying !
I do not know; I just continue to try to help and sometimes the OP (Original Poster, in this case YOU) acknowledges that help and/or claim responses are their solutions. Both responses from an OP awards points to those recipients. As points accumulate, members acquire a higher Level status, which grants certain privileges not awarded to holders of lower levels. Personally I just mostly ignore it!

Hello, I am trying to upgrade an iMac to Mavericks. At the end of the download phase, a message pops up that says
"OS 10.9 has not yet been approved for software upgrade. Thanks! - SWN IT"
The download stops, and I cannot resume. Made several attempts to start the process of downloading again and receive the same message/error.
I am not familiar with any software that has the intials SWN or have SWN in the title.
Does this error look familiar to anyone?
Any clues as to how to find out the what application could be sending this message would be greatly apprciated.Is this on a Mac that belongs to a company or did you buy it used?

I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.7.5 and I am trying to upgrade to the free Mavericks but when I click on the download it doesn't do anything. What am I dong wrong?
A couple things to try.
1) Quit the App Store, wait a few minutes, then open it and check the Purchases tab. Is there a progress bar.
2) Boot into Safe Mode and try to download it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 -
