Whos installing OS X 10.9


Recommended Posts

I did and it's very good... Feels a little dead without the skeuomorphism and the icon colors, but they did not completely kill the flavor and appeal of the OS like what they did with iOS.

Only thing is, Xcode 5 has started to go like iOS and I don't feel it (look at the new incomprehensible toolbar).

If I update my current Mountain Lion installation to the 10.9 Developer Preview, will I still be able to update to the final 10.9 release when it comes out? Or will I have to do a fresh install once the final is released?

Nobody knows what Apple does.

But if I were a developer, I wouldn't program a feature to "upgrade from a beta to a final version". It's you have the previous version or you don't have anything at all. OR, no matter what version you have, I'll just overwrite everything so it doesn't matter.

Depends on the price. I can't see paying much, if anything, for Finder tabs and a re-skinned Calendar.

 

The upgrade is going to be $29.99 for single user and $49.99 for a 5-user family pack as it has been for the past couple years. Just find some family/friends with macs and split the cost of the family pack so that it becomes $10/mac. Even if you have just one other friend, you have save money by spending only $25 each.

 

I'm really excited about finder tabs as I can see my productivity going through the roof because I always have to move around multiple finder windows to get a good view.

OS X Mountain Lion costs ?15,99 ($19,99). For that price it can be installed onto multiple Macs. The latter goes for OS X Lion too.

I wish they would update the App Store so it doesn't feel like its just a website in a window and feels more like an actual application. I am pretty excited for Mavericks though with all the under the hood changes it comes with, and tabs on Finder is going to be extremely useful! I stay away from betas for my actual desktop PC so I will be waiting for final release before upgrading.

Yeah, I listed the OSX Lion pricing by mistake. But either way, $29.99 is worst case scenario and hardly expensive to reap the benefits.

I've been running 10.9 for a week now, and I have had not one single crash, bug, or error come up. It does boot a lot faster on and runs a lot peppier than ML did. It also bumped up the battery life nicely on my rMBP. I haven't seen the tabs in Finder, though. Do I have to enable it, or something?

I'm glad to read that performance has improved, Mountain Lion was hardly snappy. That alone is a good enough reason for me to try 10.9

 

This.

 

ML was slow on my MBP. I went back to Lion. I'm really hoping 10.9 will be a good upgrade

I have been running it since Friday night on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro. I must say it does feel snappier for sure. My problem is, I created a 64gig partition for it and after  install and copying my ML stuff over it took up 63gigs..  LOL I need to make the partition bigger. 

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...

iOS 7 will indeed look *wrong* on any non-Retina iDevice - even the iOS Simulator drives that home with a jackhammer. (The basic iOS SImulator is included with Xcode 5-DP; though the iPad is NOT included, three iPhones (one non-Retina and two differently-sized Retina devices) are included.  If you compare a non-Retina display to a Retina display, you get basically smacked about with a still-live trout.)  Care to bet that this is, in fact, planned?

 

As far as Mavericks DP1 itself goes, it is indeed snappier than Mountain Lion (with which I am dual-booting).

Finally a Dutch dictionary in OS X Mavericks, which I was able to port over to OS X Mountain Lion! :woot: It took Apple only eight years to include support in OS X...

 

(I understand how that isn't exiting to most people here, but it is to me :laugh: )

Did I miss something??? After I upgraded to Lion on my 2010 MBP it felt really slow. 

 

When they released Mountain Lion I put a fresh install on my MBP and it felt much better than Lion. But it might have been due to the fact I upgraded to Lion and didn't do a fresh installation.

You can install the new dictionaries in OS X Mountain Lion by drag 'n' dropping the files from your OS X Mavericks installation and enabling them in Dictionary's preferences.

 

They're located in: /Library/Dictionaries.

Nice ! I already had a French Dictionnary since Lion, but it was so wrong and full of crap. I followed a guide back then to put custom Dictionaries in it and it was more complicated than one could have imagined.

 

So far, I really love Maps, this should have been added last year at the same time Apple Maps came out on the iPhone. Only performance-wise I'm experiencing slow loading when zooming in-and-out in 3D Satellite view, and the app lags a loooooottttt on my MacBook Pro 2010. Only thing missing is : common transportation, and bicycle :) Oh, and kayak :P

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
