Why can't i download os x mavericks

unable to download os x mavericks not sure any ideas

You might not have the mavericks installer installed (check your applications folder). Here's the solution:
1. Shut down your mac
2. Press & hold shift key and then hit the powe button (Do not let go of shift key yet)
3. This will allow you to boot up in "safe mode"
4. Once you see a gray screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar, you can release the shift key
5. Safe Mode takes longer to boot because it's correcting problems such as missing software
6. Once you're booted up in safe mode, open the Apps folder and download Mavericks
7. You will see a progress bar in the LaunchPad screen
At first it appears that nothing is happening. But it's a huge file, over 5GB. It will take approximately 3-4hr to download depending on your internet speed. I recommend not allowing your mac to go to sleep during the download.
Let me know if this helps!

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything.

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.

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
Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks.

HT201364 why can't I download os x mavericks my computer is brand new It keeps defaulting the computer is out of date

Why am I unable to download os x mavericks on my new macbook pro with retina

Because the brand new (late 2013) models come with a version of Mavericks tailored to the new hardware.
Eventually there will be a version you'll be able to download, but the App Store version doesn't currently have the necessary drivers to successfully run your machine. Check your build number - it's different to the App Store build of 13A603.

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.

Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3. My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC. Lightroom shows Install but it is installed. Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
More information gives Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For Example, ERROR:
- 0 fatal error)s), 0 error(s)
I also cannot directly download from my account on the web. This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere. I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted. I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems. Aren't we all.
I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

Why can't I download entire albums from my purchase history is iTunes on my iPAD?

'The New IPAD'I want to download music from. My PURCHASE HISTORY in ITUNES onto my NEW IPAD. I would like to download an entire Christmas ALBUM by various artists!

It seems like a major design floor from apple and as I have searched the Internet for solutions it seems I may be the only one!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!! THANKS JJ

If you have Not On This iPad selected at the top middle of the Purchased tab in the iTunes app, then tap on All Songs at the top left of the screen and then tap on 'Songs By Most Recent' at the top right and change it to 'Albums By Name' - does the album that you want to download then appear as an album on the right-hand side of the screen ? If it does then tap on it and will hopefully download the whole album.

Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac? I get an error message. I click the download: "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him! Thanks, Pete

Hey PetaPete,
There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
Note:
1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.
Regards,
Anubha

Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order, but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.
