Hey whats up folks?

It seems like I need to upgrade to Mavericks to get updated programs so I came back here for help.

Here is problem 1. When I try to install unibeast over to my USB, I get a failed installation.

Problem #2
When I try to download Mavericks from the app store, it says Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer.

Any ideas to get this ball rollin?

OK, please put board/cpu/gfx card in your profile or create a sig.

Next questions:
What version board is it? (open case, look at bottom left corner)
What BIOS version?
Are you using a DSDT? Was it from the forum database or did you do the edits yourself?

I have revision 2.

My bios version is FE and I am running a DSDT on the desktop downloaded from the forum. I did no edits to it.

OK, first thing is to get the app store to allow the download. Have you updated to 10.6.8?
Check your networking and make sure your wired connection is EN0.

Are you able to download anything at all from the app store? Try downloading some free app to check.

As you mentioned your hardware is on 10.6.8.

Have you applied the Java and Safari updates to this version of OSX ... from the Apple Software Updater.

DO NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ELSE other that the above applications.

Also have you applied this Apple update - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512

It seems to help some users that have had similar problems.

I have just downloaded, installed, rebooted and still that didn't help download Mavericks.

All of my software updates are taken care of.
