Where do I find OSX Mavericks INSTALL on CD?

I only have a wireless connection to the Internet and an 5GB data plan allowance so need to upgrade to Mavericks via CD install (as I understand that the new Mavericks is over 5 GB download - sounds WAY too big, doesn't it?).  Does Apple have DISK installation options? I noticed that their marketing group thinks that everyone with a Mac is connected constantly to the NET probably thru fiber optic connection.  Not so out here in rural Tennessee.  BUT, at least I have a MAC!  ;-)

If you have a friend with a Mac and broadband, you might be able to get the friend to make you a Mavericks installer on a flash drive.
Which will then be licensed to your friend and require his appleID and password to update.
If you can take your Mac somewhere else to use a higher bandwidth connection, that would be the way to do it.
If they they have cleaned that up, you may be able to do it as suggested. I don't think it worked that way with Mountain Lion. The download may not have any ties anymore.

    Where can I download OSX Maverick? I'm looking for the link where there is the "download button" I can't find it! Please Help!

    What is your current operating system? It needs to be at least Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in order to have the App Store available.
    Which Mac are your trying to upgrade? It needs to be:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.

    I have the same problem. The install seemed to go fine, it rebooted and the only APPLE app I can use is Safari and Itunes, The Mac Apple store freezes, Ibooks, Iphoto etc, all of them just lock up when I open them, even drop down items under the little Apple are frozen. I'm disgusted, any help would be appreciated.

  • MacMini saying HDD is damaged during OSX Mavericks install

    Ok I finally started up my MacMini and downloaded the OSX Mavericks upgrade. Problem is now that it's restarting to upgrade and it's saying my HDD is damaged and can't be repaired. Says to resart, delete everything and retry. Except now it's stuck in a restart cycle and keeps trying to install Mavericks but of course it has the same error.
    Now since it's a MacMini I don't have a wired keyboard, just bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
    I can't figure out now what to do short of buying a keyboard which being in SE Asia it's not cheap. I may be able to pick up a generic wired kayboard but not sure how it would work with a Mac.
    I searched and seems this is a problem. Not sure if it's because of Mavericks or my HDD is really damaged.

    I'm not sure a wireless keyboard will work in the Recovery Volume.
    Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions. Then reinstall the OS which should be Mountain Lion if Mavericks hasn't installed.

  • Where can i find osx lion software

    i cant find osx lion in the app store , only mountain lion which is not compatible with my imac

    As you've noted, Lion is no longer available to download on the App Store, but you can phone Apple Store Sales and buy it. I believe they will issue you with a code that you can redeem online and then be able to download Lion.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Where can I download OSX Mavericks to upgrade from Lion?

    I have an Early 2011 Mac Pro 17" and have just acquired an Apple TV - but hey presto Lion does not support mirroring - whereas Mavericks does!!
    So short of upgrading to Yosemite (mixd reviews...!!!) I was hoping to upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks??
    Anyone know where I can get Mavericks from?
    thanks

    If you have never purchased OS X Mavericks before under your Apple ID, then it is no longer currently available.
    OS X Mountain Lion is still available on the Mac App Store, but you must purchase a special email download code to download and install it from the Mac App Store.
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite.you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.
    http://roaringapps.com/
    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.

  • No prores422 Quicktime icon preview in finder OSX Mavericks

    I upgraded to Mavericks osx 10.9 and now I no longer get a thumbnail preview on my prores quicktime files in the finder o. I do get a preview with any other type of quicktime codecs the only affected files are prores files. I shoot a lot on the blackmagic cinema camera and it's not good for me just to see a Q on those thumbnails. I'm a Final Cut Pro X user so I have the proper codecs to view the files. I have tried the view options and it does not affect Prores files. I've also downloaded the latest codecs from apple. So I want to know I'm I the only person this is happening to? I'm thinking I may need to reinstall mavericks but before I do that I need to know if anyone else is experiencing this? I have attached a screen capture to illustrate what I'm talking about. Quicklook does still work on the prores files but I need that thumbnail.

    I've tried reinstalling Mavericks and I'm still having this issue. I'm considering wiping my drive and going back to Mountain lion. Qucktime player in Mavericks seems to suck. I'm having several other issues playing back older quictime files. Most play in Quicktime 7 but a lot have no quicklook previews. The sheer volume of prores files I shoot makes this extremely inconvenient for me. How can Apple not support their own Codec????
