Click once on (select) the downloaded file, ' install-os-x-mavericks.app' if you downloaded this to Downloads, open Finder and go to the Downloads folder) Open Finder and navigate to your download location.

I tried the xattr -cr and it did not change, but I did not try with sudo. I want to make a install/utility stick with the installer.Īfter downloading, the file icon had a slash. I'm already on Mavericks, so all file operations were performed on it. While I appreciate people uploading, the illogical packaging and awkwardness made me feel like there was something malevolent with this download. I ran several scans and did not come up with rootkits. I quickly shut down, booted from a backup, and had to delete the files (all of them, who knows what's in that mess) with rm -rf to clear them out.

And I could not get rid of the external file, Traah would not empty, and rm -rf did not work either.Įven after a restart the error said the file was active. UPDATE: After getting the Installer file out of the pointless packaging, I started to have slow Finder and erratic trackpad issues.

I'm very very sad because I need to make a bootable drive and Apple does not offer THIS InstallMacOSX! I can DL the versions above and below - but NOT MAVERICKS. I tried opening THAT zip file (hoping for different results) but the same thing happened. It downloaded differently (as described in other reviews) so I looked at the package contents and found the same zip file that I got from the zip link. After all that I decided to try the Torrent link. Please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly).
