k-hawinkler Posted October 23, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looks good on my 4 year old 17" MacBook Pro. Nice new Activity Monitor! Anybody noticed any problems yet? I get this Error Message when trying to update for example Aperture: We could not complete your update. Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hi k-hawinkler, Take a look here Mavericks OS X Version 10.9. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chrism Posted October 23, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 23, 2013 The Aperture update worked OK for me; in fact the entire 10.9 upgrade had no hitches apart from the fact I need a new driver from Epson for an old flatbed scanner. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted October 23, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2013 Mail wouldn't load after I installed the OS. A reboot fixed that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this also applies to your problem downloading Aperture: German users who bought iWork or iLife in the past not by downloading from the AppStore but on a disc found out they couldn't upgrade the software for free. There is a workaround: Change you settings under "Region and Language" from "Germany" and "German" to US" and "English" - and you can download the updates for free - and change your settings back afterwards if you like. Obviously the AppStore isn't bug free yet at the moment. Perhaps one has to wait for a couple of days, until they fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyasi Posted October 23, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 23, 2013 Does anyone know if Maverick takes more hard drive space than its predecessor? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted October 23, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 23, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not sure, though differences should not be great. As far as I remember the download for 10.8 was 4.8 GB, for Mavericks it's 5.29 GB. Nevertheless my Mac seems to take more time to start now than before.

sanyasi Posted October 24, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 24, 2013 I already see two things that make the upgrade worthwhile. First, I use two monitor, and having the menu bar in both monitor is great. Plus if you have Safari open on one monitor and Photoshop in another, there is a menu bar for each application. Second, finder permits tabbing. From what I understand, the resulting functionality will allow you to move folders around much easier. I have found dragging files around to be a pain in the past We'll see what else lurks further down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted October 24, 2013 Share #10 Posted October 24, 2013 Everything seems to be running staggeringly slow after the upgrade. Not sure why - mid-2010 21.5 inch iMac with 12 GB of RAM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted November 29, 2013 Share #13 Posted November 29, 2013 There is an update for Capture One Pro (7.1.5) which is said to fix bugs with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. As I didn't realize any bugs with the former version, I can't tell which ones are settled successfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdriceman Posted November 30, 2013 Share #14 Posted November 30, 2013 Fwiw ... I have upgraded 3 Macs to Mavericks. The first was my 2011 iMac, next my 2012 MacBook Air. It all works fine, no problems - except the new version of iMovie results in a horrible, non-intuitive and almost incompatible transition from the previous version of iMovie. However, upgrading my 2012 Mac Mini Server - the most powerful of the 3 - has resulted in a dramatic slowdown of the system. After attempting to tweak the system for hours I have decided to do a clean install of Mavericks - as some have suggested on the Apple forum. Not looking forward to this, and if it doesn't work I will go back to The previous version. Sometimes I just find myself spending so much time keeping technology current with upgrades, updates, etc... Maybe that is why I enjoy shooting film for a change.

Manicouagan1 Posted December 2, 2013 Share #15 Posted December 2, 2013 Biggest issue I have run into with Mavericks is that at present there is no good way to install Bootcamp and Windows 8. There are some workarounds messing with some of the boot and EFI software that may or may not be a good idea. The Apple support forums are full of discussions on this. I'll wait for a stable release to install bootcamp and windows 8. If you are upgradeing multiple Macs you can run into some issues because the Aperture Library compatible with 10.9 is not readable under 10.8. Once all your data is upgraded to 10.9 and all it associated tweeks everything seems fine except the bootcamp problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdriceman Posted December 5, 2013 Share #16 Posted December 5, 2013 I did a clean install of Mavericks on my Mac Mini Server. Big difference in performance. The machine is faster than when it was new. The actual installation of OSxMavericks does not take long, but migrating data on and off the main hard drive is tedious. I now have it set up such that one of the internal hard drives holds the operating system and applications. The other internal drive and my external thunderbolt drive hold all my photos, LR catalog, data, etc. The next time I need to do a clean install it should be a streamlined process.
