I was trying to upgrade Mac OS and kept running into this error message when I tried to resume interrupted download. I was able to get around this problem by following steps mentioned below, which were originally posted in this post . Quit App Store. Open Terminal. Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true Launch App Store. At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug". Click on that and press "Reset Application" Restart App Store. After resetting the app store I was able to initiate a fresh download of Mavericks.
