Why am I unable to download OS X Maverick?

My system is currently running OS X Lion, has 4 GB of memory and 188 GB of free space. It's a MacBook, 13-inch, late 2007. I realize that my system is not on the list but I noticed that some late 2007 systems are allowed to download OS X Mavericks. If my system meets the download requirements, other than the year, why can I not download OS X Maverick?
Thanks.

As QuickTimeKirk posted, your machine is not on the supported list. That's the first requirement before any others are checked.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
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
8 GB or more of available space

    Where to begin... and why would you ask here? (workstation owners)
    Places I can think to try, after google of course....
    Forum devoted to something like Word / Mactopia or Pages.... whether you are using Office 2011, and no idea what browser or webmail (IMAP, Gmail, other)
    And then there really are notebook with subforum for MacBook Pro

    What email system do you use, it's easy to find out, if your address ends .gmail, it's Gmail, if .me or .mac, it's Apple, if .live it's Microsoft, if yahoo, etc etc etc. Unless you tell us we can't offer much help.
    Don't tell us the entire address, just the part after the @sign.

    Thanks. I had just assumed that my iPhone 3 was just too old for new apps and updates (seemed like logical apple move) so I gave up trying. Decided to do some serious digging and found this post, your fix worked like a charm, I'm a little embarrased, but very thankful.

  • Why am I unable to download powerpoint files?

    I am having problems downloading powerpoint files. When I go to download the file, it saves it as a "application/octet-stream" which I am unable to do anything with. It only started after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I need to know how to fix this or I am going to have to (unfortunately) switch to another browser. I have been using firefox for years and have not had this problem until the new update. Please help.

    I have already attempted all of these, numerous times. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5.0 and 6.0 more than once each. My problem was not corrected until I downgraded to 3.6, thus leading me to believe it is an actual problem with the Firefox 5.0 and 6.0 software. My IT department believes this to be true as well. However if you know of anything else I can try please let me know, I do love Firefox and would like to use the most up to date version. Thanks.

  • Why am I unable to download any of the apps having paid for my subscription?

    I  have paid for my annual subscription.
    The desktop is only showing trial versions of the apps.
    When I ask to download an app the words 'downloading' appear on the screen but there is no downloading going on for Premier Pro.
    In Design seems to have downloaded, but now it is showing as a trial version even though I left it downloading all last night and this morning it said it was fully up to date.
    I can't get in to Premier Pro at all! I had a previous trial version of Premier Pro on my Mac that has now run out - could this interfere).
    Extremely frustrated. Hoping there is a simple solution.
    Thanks

  • Why am I unable to download the latest adobe flash?

    Every time I go to update my Adobe Flash it tells me I cannot continue unless I close the safari, but I do not have it open, and I am unsure of what to do to get it to successfully download.

    Are you trying to update through the System Preference pane? If so, try going to -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - and downloading from there. The pref pane installer might 'think' that Safari is open, so try this route.
    Good luck,

  • Why am I unable to download apps to my iPhone4?

    Whenever I try to download an app to my iphone, it makes me type in my apple ID and password and it seems like the app is going to download. But after i type in my information, it just goes back to the original screen and never downloads.

    No, I checked it. If "Installing Apps" is deactivated. You don't have the app store... You've enough storage ?

  • Why am I unable to download Safari web browser to mountain lion?

    I have mountain lion on my mac. I deleted Safari from it. Now I cannot download Safari from the internet  to Safari. Is there a way I can get Safari back onto mountain lion?

    Safari isn't available as a download from the Apple website anymore, so you have to reinstall OS X in order to get Safari back. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X

  • Unable to download OS X Mavericks 10.9.4

    When I try to install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 it will install and I can see it in my systems but the APP Store still shows that I have updates needed. I've been trying to use iTunes to restore my iPad mini but getting an error that iTunes needs to be updated, I've also tried to install each one individually. This is an issue on both my MacBook Pro and iMac. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    A little more details of the situation:
    So both my MacBook Pro and my iMAC are showing that there is new software that needs to updated which are apart of the OS X 10.9.4 update combo, take it my computer is updated to 10.9.4 but in the app update section it shows I need yo update the iTunes  11.4, iBook 1.0.1 and Safari 7.0.6... Now when you look at the bottom of the updates at the "Updates installed in the last 30 days" all of the above are updated.
    But the issues are: I can't get rid of that red 1 for updates (yes I've tried putting the time into the future 6 months and longer no help) and
    I'm trying to restore my iPad and Apple TV which neither MacBook Pro or iMac are allowing it because it is saying unable to connect to network which clearly I'm connected to the internet... I'm using Verizon for home internet as well.
    - I've tried installing the above individually but it keeps saying calculating yet no movement left it up for over 24 hours with numerous reboots... about ready to throw both out the window..
