why can't i download maverick onto my macbook?

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
  The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks.

    Why can I not download apps onto my Macbook. The only apps that come up are ipad & iphone apps.

    If you are searching within iTunes, all the Apps are for iDevices. To find Apps for the MacBook, you will need to search using the Mac App Store.

    Why can't I download books onto my phone but I can onto my computer I'm using overdrive for my phone. Please help thanks

    By 'not accept' you mean ... ? Are you getting any error messages ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based.

  • HT201364 Why can't i download maverick when my mac comes with it preinstalled?

    I bought a new Mac Book Pro with OS X Maverick. Why can't i download the installer from App Store?

    Yes Mavericks can be downloaded but is it the *right* one is what Tuttle was getting at.  Don't take our world for it, take it from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1159#MacBook_Pro
    Notice that even the 13" and 15" Retina models have a different version number.
    Here is another thread on the matter:

    Does your MacBook Air meet the other requirements?
    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

  • HT201064 Why can't i download Maverick to my iMac Version 10.7.5

    Does anyone know why i can't download Mavericks to my imac. Version 10.7.5 ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks aren't included in iTunes in the cloud, transfer the audiobook when connected to iTunes.

  • Why can't I download Mavericks?

    So I've been trying to download OS X Mavericks from the app store, but it won't let me. Every time I click on the download icon, nothing seems to happen. It shows up in my "purchases" but when I click the download button there, once again nothing happens. I made sure I have plenty of space to be able to download it, so I can't really find a reasoning for why it won't download.
    Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this issue?

    The reason I bought a late 2008 Macbook pro is it is the only laptop Apple ever produced with a hatch to quickly change the hard drive. So having had a problem loading Mavericks, I swapped in an old 80 GB HD, formatted it and loaded Snow Leopard, then upgraded it to f10.6.8 just to test the download. I also have a new EE/Orange Brightbox router and linked it using an ethernet cable for speed. So no other programs on the disk and therefore no other issues.
    I still can't download Mavericks, the little icon turns for a second or two and then gives up as I have.
    I have had two previous Mac laptops, both fell to pieces after a few years. This current one the plastic hinge broke when it slid off my lap. Cost £400 because you need a new screen. So much for all this aluminium stuff when the hinge is plastic.
    I love Macs but hate the stupid cosmetic design, which is plain impractical. Give me a robust laptop with decent allen key or screw hatches. Also one that's deep enough at the back at least to host a couple of quarter inch jacks and XLRs plus an inbuilt sound card and Full HD 1900 x 1080 screen, no less, no more. Am I the only person that this makes any sense to?
    I also thought about buying an Imac but I see changing the hard drive is a huge problem. I guess I'll go for an Apple Mac Mini and a third party screen just because the Mini has SCREWS!!!

  • Why can't i download itunes onto my PC?

    Does anyone know why I can't download iTunes onto my Toshiba laptop. I'm running Windows 7.
    I have even tried earlier versions of iTunes and had no luck.
    Can anyone help?

    Possibly, but unless additional information is provided we have no clue why it will not install either.
    Provide as much detail as possible, including exact error messages being displayed.

  • Why can't I download apps onto my iPad?

    I have tried to download apps onto my iPad but it won't allow my to enter my password so I cannot download any apps can anybody help?

    Hi Littlexjess,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would try restarting and resetting your iPad as a good initial troubleshooting step:

  • Why can't I download music onto my iphone from my new computer?

    I have a new computer that I've authorized. But I cannot transfer new music that I've purchased onto my existing iPhone. It says that my library is synced with another computer. I'd have to wipe out everything on my phone to sync to this new computer. I don't want to do that. How can I select this new computer as the computer that I want to sync to from now on? Will it help to un-authorize my old computer?
    THANKS!

    I didn't watch the video,  However, the procedure is simple.  Download the track from the other site, and make sure it is saved to your computer.  Then drag it into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder (which can be found inside your iTunes Media folder).

    iTunes has to contact Apple to send your agreement to the new conditions, but your security software has to allow this contact. If blocked, you'll get a time out message. Follow the instructions here to check your security software settings: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

  • Why can't I download apps onto my iphone when i have enough memory and my apple password is correct.

    I have sucessfully downloaded apps on my iphone many times in the past. Now, when I select and try to install an app it begins to download, I put in my password and then everything reverts back to the start. I have lots of memory and even free apps won.t download. I've looked and read all the support manuals online and nothing helps.
    Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to help. I would appreciate any advice.

    You will have to call Apple and ask for Account Security.
