OS X Mavericks failed to download, Use the Purchases page to try again


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.

  1. Quit App Store.
  2. Open Terminal.
  3. Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
  4. Launch App Store.
  5. At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
  6. Click on that and press "Reset Application"
  7. Restart App Store.

After resetting the app store I was able to initiate a fresh download of Mavericks.

It looks like if you manually downgraded to iTunes 10, you have to go back to 11 first. — http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=18248525#post18248525
