Update download OS x Mavericks won't start

When i try to start the download of OS X Mavericks in the app store, nothing happens.
Download doesn't start.

Same here.   OSX 10.7.5. UK. In App Store.  Click on Mavericks Icon/banner "Upgrade" which turns to "Install" which then turns to "Downloading" after entered my Apple ID (tried 2 different ID).    The purchases pane does show Mavericks but with a dark grew "Download" button.  Click this and it momentarily greys out and then reverts to dark grey "Download". Never a progress bar.   In launchpad I can see the Mavericks icon and can pause and resume, but it appears not to make any difference.
I have gone into my account in one of my Apple IDs and found a purchase "Hidden" but unhiding it didn't seem to change anything.
Is there a database of issues with Mavericks download issues?

  • OS X Mavericks won't start downloading for me

    I went to the App Store, clicked the download button and then the green free install button thingy and the icon for Mavericks went to my Launchpad. It says it is downloading but I've waited for an hour and it still hasn't responded at all. When i went back to my App Store and checked if it's in my purchased tab, it wasn't. I deleted Mavericks and started to download it again but the result is still the same. Does anybody have the same problem? Please help me. Thanks.

    If you do have an iMac, Late 2012, restart the iMac holding the Command+Option+R keys so you boot from the Apple internet servers, you must be on the internet to do that.  You can then choose Install Mac OS X and reinstall your operating system.  Then proceed to go to the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks.

  • Updates failed and the laptop won't start up

    I started to download the Apple updates today and half way through the laptop just close down. It now won't start up again.
    It goes throught the Login window and sticks on the bluw screen with the cursor static in the top left corner.
    Can anybody help with a suggestion?

    Graham M.,
    In order to resolve your problem, please provide additional info.
    1) Were you on battery or AC power?
    2) Are you using dial-up, DSL, or Cable broadband?
    3) Are you connected to the Internet by Ethernet cable, Airpt. Extreme/Expr?
    4) What version of Panther .... 10.3.9?
    In the meantime, completely shut-down the PowerBook and disconnect the AC power and carefully remove the battery; unplug ALL power sources to any of the above (2) and (3).
    Wait about 20 minutes, then reinstall the battery and plug-in the AC line to the PB.
    a) Insert your Panther install disc #1
    b) Press the power button, while holding down the C key until the Install window appears.
    c) From the Apple Menu Bar select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk only. Do NOT Repair Permissions from the disc; it will be outdated.
    d) If RED text is displayed, run the Repair Disk a second time even if the repair was completed.
    e) After the second run, eject the Install disc and RESTART the PB from the Apple contextual menu.
    f) Using Disk Utility (from Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) run Repair Permissions.
    If everything looks OK at this point and you have the above peripherals:
    reconnect power to any external modem ... wait 5 minutes, reconnect power to the Airport ... wait 5 minutes, reconnect any Ethernet cable.
    Assuming your good to go, update to 10.3.9 from the COMBO updater on the Apple Support Downloads web site and run Repair Permissions again.
    Consider installing a very good maintenance program like Macaroni.

    I hope all this helps; let us know.

  • Xorg 7.0 updated successfully but kde (kdm) won't start

    i updated to xorg 7.0 following the wiki but, having kdm in my modules listed, kdm/kde won't start now...

    fdrebin wrote:i noticed that the command startx isn't there anymore
    That means you need to logout and in again, the paths to startx changed. If you still have trouble running kdm, put exec startkde in ~.xinitrc and note the error messages. I had to do Xorg -configure and make some minor adjustments to the config file it spit back to get kde to work again.

  • Updated to OS X Maverick/won't recognize hard drive now

    I just updated to OS X Maverick.  now the imac won't recognize the external HD I've used for years.  Any suggestions? I don't want to lose any data.
    thanks.

    I have similar problem with Parallel 5 after upgrading to Maverick. Some of my programs on Windows won't
    open now with Maverick operating systme. Say I should upgrade Parallel.

  • The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll. Firefox 4 downloaded and used yesterday won't start today. Any answers?

    I downloaded Firefox 4 yesterday. I used it and had no problems. I started my computer today and clicked the Firefox icon and got the message "The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll" .I tried to shutdown and restart and got the same message.I use Norton Security. Could it not recognize Firefox 4 and done this?

    '''Edit: '''That was a lot of questions. You might want to just re-run the Firefox 5.0.1 installer to see whether that corrects what appears to be a mismatch of files. I suggest saving the installer to the desktop, restarting Windows to ensure that all file locks are released, and then running the installer. As always, you can download from here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    In your other post, you wrote "I just downloaded FireFox 5.0 today, and none of the icons on my desktop will open. This is the message that I receive. The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll."
    Can you describe what happens in these different scenarios:
    (1) Start Firefox with its own program icon. Error dialog, but Firefox runs normally after you dismiss it? Or no error? Or Firefox won't start?
    (2) Firefox not running, double-click shortcut to web site on desktop. Error dialog but Firefox loads the page after you dismiss it? Or Firefox doesn't load the page? Or Firefox never loads??
    (3) Firefox running, double-click shortcut to web site on desktop. Error dialog but Firefox loads the page after you dismiss it? Or Firefox doesn't load the page? Or Firefox dies??
    (4) Double-click unrelated desktop shortcut. Does this give an error as well?
    If you've noticed effects with links in documents or emails outside of Firefox, that could be a clue as well.

  • G5, updated software and now it won't start up past the grey apple screen

    Hello,
    I'm in dyer need of help. I just purchased an old G5 from a friend and when I connected it the internet it said there were a few (7 or 8) updates available for the system. There was very minimal memory left on the system but I proceeded with the updates, it said the system was going to restart after the updates. The grey screen appeared with the apple logo and the circular loading graphic but right after that the screen went blank and now each time I try to start the computer up it does the same and shuts down after that screen displays.
    Is there anything I can do?

    I'm not able to do that without the proper install disc, am I correct?
    Correct.
    Is it possible for me to use that or am I in the same boat without the proper install disc?
    Correct, you need an Install Disc.
    Or will it try to install on my iMac?
    Disconnect them to be sure.
    Sooo, what is this Install Disc you're talking about? The iMac's Gray Disc? That won't work for the G5.
    There's still a chance of repairing the HD, Your best bet is DiskWarrior.

  • Maverick won't start

    I am working with OS X Lion 10.7.5  on my IMac 20" from 2009. Now, I am trying to upgrade to OS X Maverick.
    As soon I hit the icon "install app", no other indication shows me the download is continuing....
    What should be my next step? I am working behind a wireless router, but those indications are all fine.
    All help is really appriciated....
    Sincerely,

    Have a look at 'Stalled Download' in this link: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some users have found that logging out ot the Mac App Store and then back in and starting over has kick-started the process.

  • Downloaded Muse CC trial won't start

    Downloaded Muse Trial and when started it gets stuck at the splash cree. How can I uninstall this and try downloading again? Adobe Cloud says it's 'up to date' and will not let me download again.

    Uninstall and try re-installing using the following links:
    Win - http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_win

  • After the last kernel update to 3.18, Gnome won't start!

    I can still boot without any problems up to the GDM screen, but after entering the password, I get stuck with a black screen. No keyboard, no mouse, nothing.
    If I start an i3 session instead, the whole system locks up if I try to launch Chromium or Epiphany for example.
    I have an NVIDIA 9400M graphic card.

    @christophwu Woah, you're right. It is caused by broadcom-wl. But I didn't see anything strange on the journal. I can confirm that after uninstalling the driver, I can login into my desktop.
    As for now, I'll probably stay with the 3.14 LTS kernel. Can't work without wifi.

  • Mavericks won't start after reboot, just getting circular icon seems like forever.

    Hello,
    Did a shutdown in the evening, and when restarted I just get the circular icon under the grey apple. Tried PRAM reset. Tried Option-retart.
    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 3
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 4
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

  • Update failed now the touch won't start up; black screen.

    My girlfriend just got this ipod touch and I was trying to sync it with the computer with itunes to get music on it... then itunes said there was a software update for it... I let it go through with the update (to 3.1.2 I think?) and then it failed half way through. Now the darn thing is not doing anything at all. I've plugged it in... unplugged it... held the power and the home key down for 30 seconds... nothing. Anyone got any ideas? wish this thing had a door to the battery so I can remove it or maybe even a hard reset button... blah.

    you need to roll back to an older version the latest updates screwing with alot of itouches only older one i can find is 2.2

    get it off that and the restore from that and youll be working again
