During the retrieve step (trying to retrieve the code) while trying to deploy the code in the target environment I get the following error:

Retrieve warnings (1): [sf:retrieve] package.xml - Entity type 'ApexClass' is not available in this organization

In the package.xml, I have provided the ApexClass metadata type. Btw, I get this error in a certain org but dont get this in other orgs while trying to retrieve using the migration toolkit.

This could be a profile issue. Make sure your user's Profile has the "Author Apex" permission.

Not all orgs can use ApexClass. You need at least enterprise edition to use Apex Code. If the target org should be capable of housing code, it could be a glitch. In that case, contact support. They can fix this error.
