Q: Apple says Mavericks is UNAVAILABLE!!!
I was on the phone with them today and that’s what the tech rep told me.
He said and I quote “Yosemite is the best operating system we’ve ever made and there’s nothing wrong with it.”
He asked me why I needed Mavericks anyway and that the bad reviews on the app store are from “users, and they don’t know what they’re talking about”. He then went on to say, “the professional reviews are all good!”
So, then I asked if I could buy the thing and he said…No, It’s not available and that I should download Yosemite because it’s better!
So there you have it. No more Mavericks.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3

I think this whole Yosemite vs. Mavericks thing is split right down the middle. I'm just worried because I bought this computer with Mavericks on it, someone upgraded it before selling it to me. If I go to Yosemite, I'm not sure I can get back. Or can I? To Mavericks, that is.
You can restore the original OS if you have a recovery partition that was made with that OS version.
Use recovery disk assistant to generate a copy whilst you have 10.9 installed, then you can restore that to go bad to 10.9

Internet recovery mode may also install the original OS version, however it may also install the last used OS.
