I can't download Mavericks...

I live in italy and my App Store has already been posted.
the strange thing is that I cannot update cause it tells me that download is for an another account (it tells me also the mail that is supposed to be bound with this update).
so I checked the mail of the other account on Facebook and apparently the owner is a random Russian dude.

wut? 😕

am I the only one with this issue?

thanks!

Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)

...Just made it (though I'll probably just leave Lion, the mini is just used as my music server)

I'll give OS X 10.9 a go on my MacBook Air

Help! I can't find the OS X Mavericks Support Community 🙂

If you go to the App Store and click OS X Mavericks Support on the right it takes you to the Mountain Lion support window.

Oooooops!

Try now.

OS X 10.9 Mavericks is posted as a "Free Upgrade".

App Store > Updates

Click the updates tab.

But if you click OS X Mavericks Support on the right of the Updates window it takes you to Mountain Lion support.

Better to wait until some of the glitches are fixed.

My understanding is that Maverick is supposed to go further back in compatibility. Where did you find those specs?

No, the same as for Mountain Lion: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

I am running OSX 10.6.8 and I cannot download Maverick? I am on an Intel based Mac but I can't find the year. App Store says I can download on this computer. Why?

App Store says I can download on this computer. Why?

If you can download, then what is the problem? Or, did you mean to say that you can't download?

Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," then press the "More Info" button. On the Righthand Panel, you should see, "Model Identifier:" Report back what it says.

I cannot

Then you probably don't meet the requirements. See link above and answer:

Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," then press the "More Info" button. On the Righthand Panel, you should see, "Model Identifier:" Report back what it says, i.e., MacBook4,1, iMac10,3

iMac 5,1

An iMac5,1 is an iMac (17" or 20" Late 2006) and does not meet the specifications for either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. The minimum would be an iMac7,1.

iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

It will run Lion.

Im running 10.6.8 right now and the model identifier is a Macbook4,1. I can't download it. Wha is wrong?

Had the same problem.. Your iMac is too old, just like mine was. Yours was made in 2006. You can only go so far as Lion.
