Unable to download OS X using Zapping PRAM index.

Unable to download OS X using Zapping PRAM index. Gives OS X Mavericks failed to download use the purchases page to try again - But cant see Mac app store icon as screen has completely gone grey
Since yesterday my Macbook Pro is not working - rather I cant see finder and upon booting, instead of any screen savers and icons displaying it is showing a balnk grey screen.
After reading some discussion and watching to some videos on You Tube, I managed to empty my Mac HD by traferring all the files to an external HD and then suing zapping PRAM keys, I got to a screen from where I am trying to download OS X to re install it.
However after some time it is giving error as 'OS X Mavericks failed to download use the purchases page to try again'.
But to access purchase page, I am unable to view Mac app stores application or icon.
Please help in fixing this issue.

Hi there,
Mine is 2011.
I tried the suggestion you gave, but it didnt work.
However can someone help with clarification - mine is 2011 MBP and I reconk that it came with OS X Lion pre-installed and now with OS X utilities page, when I try to reinstall OSX it tries installing Mavericks and fails at certain stage.
When it fails I  get pop-up message as 'OS X Mavericks failed to download use the purchases page to try again'
But I am unable to get App stores and go to purchases, as I dont see that option anywhere using OS X Utilities (which is the only way I am able to access my mac once I start)
So, Kindly help whether I need to get OS X Lion reinsalled first and then upgrade OS X Mavericks?
To do so, should I buy OS X Lion (as I dont think there is any back-up of OS available on my machine)?
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

  • UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD LIBRARY BOOKS USING OVERDRIVE MEDIA CONSOLE

    Hello until recently I was able to download e books from the library to my PlayBook using Overdrive Media Console. I was able to get directly to my PlayBook. However it is now not working. I am unable to download to PlayBook. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. The only way I can read is through my browser. This means I can only read where I have Internet access. I can not understand why it stopped working. I contacted my library but they were not sure what the problem is. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I hope I can figure it out as I enjoy borrowing books from the library. 

    Looks like nobody on the forum uses overdrive. Threads are mostly a year old if you search for Overdrive on the forum.
    The recent reviews on blackberry world say that it no longer works.
    Google "overdrive media console on playbook."
    Check out the playbook instructions.   http://overdrive.com/files/TestDrive/playbooksetup​-P100.pdf
    Contact the developers
    Contact the library. 
    Remember they only sold two million playbooks worldwide which is a tiny number. Support for this minority app may be hard to find. 
    If you dare, you could try the security wipe and start again, but you may lose all your data as you need to backup and restore which is risky. 
    EDIT
    Ask your library if their website has been updated to the new system which may work differently.

  • TS1315 I just bought a Sony Cybershot camera, DSC-W710. I have pictures in the memory card in the camera but I am unable to download my images using the USB connection. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to download images from my Sony camera, DSC-W710, but iPhoto in my Mac is not accepting the download through a USB drive. Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately some sad folks like to come to the forum not to help but simply to pick arguments for their own amusments.
    No digitial still camera by any major maker requires installing drivers from a CD or DVD. None.
    The same is true of many scanners and copiers too, in the hands of a knowledgeable computer user. People running older systems that they don't understand or know how to use will disagree, of course, if they choose to be argumentative. Personally, I ignore usch people.
    The common causes for your issue are
    1. A USB fault. That might be a damaged cable, an issue with the USB ports on your computer or your camera. Easiest way to check: swap the cables, try a different port, make sure your camera is on and charged
    2. Try use a USB Card Reader or the Card Reader port on your Mac, if it has one.
    3. Another possibility is that the camera card may need to be reformatted - you do this with the camera only.

    With Reader closed, go to your Applications folder and double click on the Reader icon. When Reader opens, follow the lead to accept the license, and close Reader. Just in case, restart your computer before doing anything else.

  • With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

    The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5)  was loaded today (nov 9, 2012).  As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video".  I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

    Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
    As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

  • Unable to download 8.0.1 update

    I'm unable to download the update using the update manager in Premiere 8.0. I get an error message "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment or the internet or firewall settings may be incorrect." I tried multiple times early morning and late evening and still get the same message. I also turned off my firewall and still got the same message.
    Anyone else have this problem trying to get this update?

    I found this last night and it worked - I was able to update. - Thank you
    Re: The update server is not responding
    I have been incredibly frustrated with the same thing and the problem is an inherent conflict between Windows and the Adobe software and the fix is relatively simply:
    Open Network and Sharing Center
    Click  Change adapter settings
    Right-click  the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport  Adapter, and click Disable.
    Open  Adobe Reader and Help > Check for Updates

  • "unable to download" message

    Dear All
         i want to Distributing Enterprise Apps for IPAD Wirelessly but we get “unable to download” message
    iam using the help link :  http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_ App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html
    and i check for these Troubleshooting Wireless App Distribution
    If wireless app distribution fails with an “unable to download” message, check the following:
    Make sure the app is signed correctly. Test it by installing it on a device using iPhone Configuration Utility.
    Make sure the URL to the app (.ipa) file (in the manifest file) is correct and the app file is accessible to web users.
    Make sure the link to the manifest file is correct and that the manifest file is accessible to web users.
    but still the same error can any one help me ?

    That seems like an unusual issue.  I would make sure you update to iOS 4.3.5, hopefully if your devices are on the latest build they will take the apps.  Otherwise it sounds like an issue with your digital certificate, and I would try to create a new certificate through apple.

  • Unable to download iTunes 10.7 on my Macbook (using OSX 10.5.8). Thx

    Unable to download iTunes 10.7 on my Macbook, hence, cannot use my iphone 5. How could I upgrade my OSX?( apart from buying a new Macbook, thx)

    You need OSX 10.6.8 at least.  Read the link below on getting 10.6 at least, then update online to 10.6.8.  Depending upon your model computer you might be able to go beyond 10.6.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from their online store. 
    In the future do not buy new devices until you are sure you can run them on your computer.  Read the 8 point medium gray print on a light gray background Apple uses to tell you on each box what system requirements are for each device.

    iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    Upgrade OS X on your Mac.
