Q: Setting up Macbook and can't get OS download to start. Keep getting message 'Temporarily unavailable try again later'

Jun 1, 2016 8:12 AMby MrHoffman,OS X El Capitan 10.11 is current, not Yosemite 10.10 — what prompts are you following?
Getting OS X 10.10 — because it's not current — means using an existing entry in your Previous Purchases in the Mac App Store, or getting a download code from Apple.
If you're downloading either OS X 10.10 or 10.11 via the Mac App Store (and that would be expected), then here are some troubleshooting steps; those can usually get the download restarted.
