MacOS – Not able to update from 10.8.5 to OS X Mavericks

macmacossoftware-update

I'm currently trying to update my mid 2009 Macbook Pro to Mac OS X Mavericks. I've downloaded the file from App Store several times the but every time when the Install progress reaches about "1 second left" a message pops up saying that the download might be corrupt or that the program can't be verified.

I already tried the following things:

  • Check HDD (also at boot with Cmd + R)
  • Check that apps are compatible to work with Mavericks
  • Checked HDD size (about 40 GB left)
  • Downloaded from different internet accesses
  • Made all offered updates mentioned in App Store

My drive is FileVault encrypted.

It's enough to drive one to despair.
