Q: Mavericks won't download even after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard on a Mac OS 10.6.8 and still Mavericks won't download.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Snow Leopard 10.6.3

A:

Memory -  menu About This Mac will show you the memory.

 

Space remaining - make your hard drive visible in Finder's sidebar using Finder/Preferences/General if it is not already there and then select it. Do a Get Info (command - I) and the available space will be shown.

 

What happens when you click download in the App Store? If you look at the App Store Purchases tab does it show there?

    What happens when you try? Have you made sure your computer meets the system requirements?

    My MacBook is only 3 years old, so that fits. The Snow Leopard is installed. I don't know how to find out how much memory or space I have remaining; but since I'm retired and am obsessive about deleting unused this and that, I doubt I've used up the memore or space.

    Thanks for all the tips, Eric! I found I didn't have enough memory. Problem solved.
