I'm sure this is probably a basic question for most but I'll post it anyways I have a question.

I recently downloaded 10.9 DP3. I played around with it a bit on my main machine and then decided that I needed to wait a bit before some of my major apps are compatible. I restored the machine using a SuperDuper backup and everything is back up running again.

Now I want to download DP4 and just throw it into a VM. I figured I'd be able to go to the AppStore on my main machine and download it and then copy it over the VM to install. However it's showing "Downloaded" and when I click "OS X 10.9 Developer Preview" it gives me the message that it's not available in the US store for some reason.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Josh

CTRL-click where it says Downloaded. Does it give you the option to download?
 
Delete AppStore .plist

Have you tried going to your user account preferences and deleting the Appstore .plist and Appstore agent .plist? that worked for me. DP4 said downloaded. After removing those two files (which will be created again) DP4 showed "Download"
