Q: Should I worry about not being able to get Mavericks?

I use an iMac from mid-2011.  When I try just to get Mavericks however, I can't.  After I enter the data from my VISA card* [Please see below], I see this:  "Your request is Temporarily unable to be processed.  Please try again later."  Later & later & later & later & later become more-like Never!  [:-( I am Not happy.]

 

Here, I tell you something Interesting, please.  Many times the records from my VISA card show a transaction with APL*APPLE ITUNES STORE of $0.

 

My records show 6 sales of $0 on 27 Feb, 5 sales of $0 on 28 Feb, 2 sales of $0 on 1 Mar, 5 sales of $0 on 3 Mar, 4 sales of $0 on 4 Mar, 4 sales of $0 on 5 Mar _&_ 1 sale of $0 today, 7 Mar.

 

So I get "charged" to download Mavericks, but I never-do "get" it.

 

Still  NO  Mavericks.  Maybe a Power Higher-up says, "You don't need Mavericks right-now.  Every major, new release of software has Bugs.  Stay with Mac OS X v10.8.5.  Wait until Apple releases Mavericks 2."

 

*  I've entered my VISA card so many-times that I know its data by-heart.  Please don't worry, as-if you would:  I pull it out each time to make sure!  :-)

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), 2.5 GHz Intel Core I5 P. & 4 GB M.
