I have an IMac with 10.7.5 OS X and I'm trying to download Maverick, but it won't do anything.

Why won't my IMac with 10.7.5 OS X download Maverick?

There really isn't anything here to suggest why

your computer configuration won't run OS X 10.9.

Assuming you have an Apple ID and account.


However when I look into the MacTracker database

the two Mid-2007 iMac models listed say Vintage...


The 20-inch and 24-inch have limits under Mavericks

so that may be due to graphic specification; though

some aspects of 10.9.2 require certain hardware.


PS: is your's an iMac7.1?


Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
