trying to download OS X El Capitan but keeps saying busy try again. what can i do it said the same thing last night.
iMac, erased original OS X already
There are several suggestions in this thread:
macos - Force Re-Download of El Capitan from the App Store? - Ask Different
I had a vague memory of booting into SafeMode a try again.
I had the same issue with the phantom 25th September update. It wouldn't disappear until an attached hard disc containing the El Capitan 1.7.54 was removed from my system. Re-connecting the hard disc makes the "update available" return to the app store.
I wonder if the reason this is happening is a combination of the El Capitan install package being on an attached drive and the EL Capitan OS not showing as a "purchase" on my app store account?
Is there a way to fix the update available message without downloading an old version and re-installing?
Thank you. I now know what I have to do.
