Xcode 6.1 unavaliable

Hi,

I have been trying for a few days to update Xcode to version 6.1 and I keep getting "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." I have tried again later, for a couple days, with no luck. Even rebooted a couple times (which I never do), just to see if that changed anything.

Is there anything special I might have to do to get it to work, or has Xcode 6.1 actually been unavailable for the last few days?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi Badlandz,

I have had the same problem, sort of.

I was able to update xcode via the App Store on my Mac Book Pro, and install it fresh on a new yosemite install on an xserve of all things. The problem seems to only manifest on 2008 My Mac Pro, which has probably never had a clean reinstall. Otherwise my setup is working properly. If this doesn't go away I am going to look for remnants of old xcode (eg stuff in the developer folder from pre-app store) and see if it makes a difference. Very frustrating.

I don't believe the item really is temporarily unavailable since I have been able to install on other Macs same OS, same network, same Apple ID.

Did you have any luck?

I installed Yosemite Cache Cleaner, tried light and medium but continued to get the "This item is temporarily unavailable" for xCode 6.4. But as you said, it requires DEEP cache cleaning. Once I did that, restarted, the xCode Update was able to begin the download.
