Click Install. If you have already installed OS X El Capitan, and wish to now create a bootable installer, you can force the Mac App Store to re-download the installer.
For the strongest security and latest features, upgrade to macOS Mojave. The new version of macOS is here! Apple has made it easier than ever to update to the latest operating system, even if you are running an older operating system on your Mac.
If your Mac is running Yosemite Most apps and services will work on macOS Sierra for at least another year. While some are already updated for macOS High Sierra, others are still not quite ready.
However, these days, not only have all of the launch issues been patched out, but Apple continues to provide security updates, even in the face of macOS Mojave. The new version of system software is officially versioned as OS X To get the latest features and maintain the security, stability, compatibility, and performance of your Mac, it's important to keep your software up to date.
Apple recommends that you always use the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. The version of macOS that came with your Mac is the earliest version it can use. For example, it might say that it's not compatible with this device or is too old to be opened on this version of macOS.
Page content loaded. Unless you have downloaded it before, it is no longer available since Sierra was introduced. If your Mac does not qualify for Sierra, you can still get it, but it appears that yours does qualify - read everything here carefully:.
However, you need another OS first in order to qualify, so read all the instructions in that link. Nov 22, PM in response to babowa In response to babowa. I've certainly read everything several times over. When I go to that page in App Store the "get" button is blue and seemingly usable but clicking it doesn't initiate download. If I go to the Sierra download page in App store the "get" button it grey seemingly showing me it isn't downloadable.
I did however click that button as well and got the same result Instead I have a blue "get" button. Heck, I'm out of ideas too. I'll try your last suggestion although I did just notice that there is an available update for app store and 2 other items, I have them downloading now. My suspicion is that this App Store update will fix the issue. Nov 23, AM in response to babowa In response to babowa.

Then I emptied the Trash of all of the older versions. After these steps, the download started immediately. Had this exact problem. Tried the Sign-out of App store recommendation and still failed. When the store is trying to download the OS X El Capitan installer app, it scans all your mounted drives to see if you already have the installer. If it finds an older El Capitan installer app in my case I saved a backup copy on a separate volume to free up space on my startup drive , it will determine you're ineligible for download of the full installer app and point you to install the update from the Updates store instead.
Even if I clicked Continue, the download would just do a spinning sprocket and never prompt me for my App Store log-in. Once I unmounted my backup volume with the old installers, the App Store prompted me for log-in and began the download of the latest El Capitan installer app. You're doing nothing wrong procedurally. The servers are busy is the likely problem. I would restart your Mac perhaps in safe mode and try once again.
Assuming you haven't installed other software that's modifying things network wise - you may need to wait things out or try from a new user account - try from another clean OS install. I rather skeptically followed Lucas Brero's instructions. In my case, the trick seemed to beI needed to accept new terms and conditions. These were only presented after I followed those instructions!
