When I try to upgrade in the Apple Store, the little circle of dashes that shows something is processing just goes round and round but nothing ever happens. I'd like to upgrade by some means other than the Apple Store. Is there a way?
Thanks

No. You can try downloading it on another Mac, then copy the installer to a USB and run it on the Mac you want to update.
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks.
Here you go:
| Model Identifier: | MacBook2,1 |
| Processor Name: | Intel Core 2 Duo |
| Processor Speed: | 2.16 GHz |
That model will not run Mavericks.
Is there anyway to upgrade my OS to Mavericks without going through the Apple Store? For some reason, my MacBook isn't able to use the store.
