Whos installing OS X 10.9


Recommended Posts

If I didn't use my Mac for work I would. I can take or leave most of the new features, but tagging would be really useful for me, and I'm interested in the changes of how it handles memory.

When it's out for real though, of course.

yea seen the tagging feature, dont think i would it much, but in a work place it would great!

Installed it yesterday. I?m very pleased so far! I?m using it on a rMBP 15" and battery life is considerably better (I won a big ~1hour), feels snappier. The new login screen is beautiful, the Finder is pretty good too with its tabs and tags.

I wouldn?t install it on a work machine, but honestly it feels more stand stable enough to be used at home. In fact I didn?t encountered any major bugs so far.

If you guy wanna see something in particular, just ask me, I?ll post some screenshots.

I imagine this still works

It doesn't from what I've seen. Apple modified the installer.

Why would they do that?

This is what I found:

1. Show hidden files by opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and typing the following:

 defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

2. Right click Installer.app file and click Show Package Contents, Open Contents folder, then look in SharedSupport folder. You will see InstallESD.dmg.

3. Mount InstallESD.dmg.

4. Copy the BaseSystem.dmg file out to somewhere convenient.

5. Do not mount BaseSystem.dmg. Just open Disk Utility and restore it to a flash drive.

6. When that's done look in the flash drive you just restored to and go to /System/Installation/. In that folder you will see a white icon with an arrow called Packages. That's a broken alias. Delete it.

7. Now go back to your InstallESD.dmg file. Inside is a folder weighing in at about 4.5GB called Packages. Copy that folder onto the flash drive in place of where the alias was.

8. Go ahead and hide the hidden folders again by going back to the Terminal and typing:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

9. Done. Boot from the flash drive and get to work.

As per usual, don't blame me if you screw up. If you somehow need these instructions simpler don't be afraid to ask. Lots of smart people around here.

I did a fresh install, seems like the same OS to me.

Installed it on my iMac & MacBook Pro, and it runs great. I really love the improvements they have made for multiple displays with Mission Control! Super!!

iOS 7 I'm not so fond of... the icons look dreadful and since I'm running it on a iPhone 4, I have no transparencies so it looks quite dreadful. Hopefully I'll have an iPhone 5 soon, and I'm sure it'll look & run a lot better on that device. Hopefully they will sort our the inconsistencies that are still in the current beta...

In response to my earlier hopes about a performance increase, I can now say that the difference is night and day. For once, they really did deliver. It can crash 20 times per day and I'll still save time compared to running Mountain Lion.

Never thought I'd say this about an operating system, but I absolutely love this. Tabs, improvements to memory architecture and a vastly improved Safari (no longer destroys the HDD)?all I need right now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
