Why i can't download Mavericks if i have a macbook a1181 2008 with Lion 10.7.5?

A1181 refers to the generation of white and black thermoplastic MacBooks originally introduced in 2006 and produced through mid 2008.
None of those models meet the minimum system requirements for Mavericks.

The 2008 A1278 MacBook 5,1 aluminum "Unibody" models are the oldest MacBooks that can install and run OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

  • Impossible to download Mavericks on a mac book pro 15'' 2008 with lion

    I cannot download Mavericks on my mac book pro. I cleaned it with Onyx, repared the permissions, gave my id in App store, which was recognized, deactivated my Intego Antivirus, no way.
    It works on a mac mini with snow leopard, but it does'nt put the file under the downloads so that I can copy it.
    My Mac is given as compatible with Mavericks.
    I found much messages on Internet about analogous problems, but no fix.
    Is Apple aware of this? Is anybody knowing a remedy?
    Regards
    Bruno

    Yes, I have 10.7.5.
    I don't get any error message. It just does not download. But it does on a mac mini on the same network, and with an older version (snow leopard). Very strange.
    It would be helpful if I could download a full version of Maverics on any computer (inclusive Windows PC

  • Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X?  I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.

    Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X?  I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.

    Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
    In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i).  What does it say about the space used and available.

  • Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? Many thanks.

    Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? My iPhone was stolen and the photos in it are very precious to me. Many thanks.

    On a new device you can only download what is currently stored in "My Photo Stream" in iCloud. iCloud keeps up to the last 1000 photos, but only the photos, that have been added during the last month. Older photos may be removed, when the time is up. On other devices you may be seeing older photos as well in "My Photo Stream", that will depend on the available storage on those devices, and when the Photo Stream has been enabled on those devices, see:  My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    If you are seeing other photos in the Photo Stream on other devices, that you want to save, mail them to you from the other devices.
    Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the last iCloud backup of the old phone? The backup will contain the photos in the Camera Roll, but not the photos in Photo Stream.   iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Where can I download Mavericks?

    Hi guys,
    Well, lately I have been thinking in upgrading my MacBook Pro mid 2009. I was trying to decide between Mt. Lion and Mavericks, do not know which are the major  differences between these two. But the later is free .
    I have already tried the AppStore and obviously did not find it there as Yosemite is the new thing, I also tried the Up-to-Date Program but it says they have nothing for my system.
    I don't want Yosemite mainly because I have read so many reviews about how bad it is and that still has many bugs.Plus the performance is slower than the other OS, and considering that I do not have a new mac I believe Mavericks would do the job for me.
    I use this mac as my main laptop which is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and would like to download Mavericks and create a new partition for Mavericks and used for programming as SL does't convince me for that purpose. I use CodeBlocks because Eclipse wouldn't get installed as it needs Mt. Lion.
    So, is there any way I can still download Mavericks?
    Is an mid 2009 MBP running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 8 gb of RAM and a solid state drive.
    In advance, thank you for your help.

    Unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer before Yosemite came out, you can't get it. If you did, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used and click on the Purchases tab.

  • Can't download Mavericks at App Store

    I can't download Mavericks at App Store: it says that it requires at least 2GB of memory but I still have 144GB free in my Mac.

    The 144GB free is space on your hard drive.
    The 2GB minimum memory requirement refers to RAM : If you clcik the Apple menu at top left of your screen, then choose About This Mac : you should see how much memory (RAM) is installed.
    See http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Apple_Upgrade_Guide/Model_ID_iMac to find out how much memory can be installed on your model.

  • Ap store says "we could not complete your purchase.  OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer".  I'm running 10.6.8 duel core intel with 15gb of  memory.  Any ideas on why  I can't download?

    Thanks.

    If the OP has this much RAM in their iMac, certain this Mac can run Mountain Lion.
    The reason it might not be installing is that 15 GBs of RAM.
    Your iMac should have (4) equal sized, 4 GB sticks of RAM for a total of 16 GBs.l
    If your iMac is only reporting that there is only 15 GBs of RAM, you have a RAM stick that is either not seated in its slot properly or is defective/going bad.
    This maybe the reason that it won't download it.
    Also could be you are running out of free space on your HD.
    You need, at least 15-20 % or greater free space left on your HD.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
