I am new to Mac. I have a MacBook Air running 10.9.4.
I installed Fusion VMWare and I am trying to install a VM for 10.9.4 using the "Install OS X from the recovery partition. When I get to the installation step that asks for my Apple Id, I log in and get this message: "This item is temporarily unavailable – Try again later".
Why???
Couple things to note: This Mac was passed down to me, I do not have a Mavericks installer and never purchased one.

The only 'official' way to get 10.9.x [which would actually be 10.9.5] is to have previously 'bought' it - it would then be in your previous purchases list on the App Store & could be re-downloaded.
Alternatively, if that was the OS that was on the machine when new you can get it via Internet Recovery.
Otherwise, the only OS available to download will be Yosemite.
