Mine is getting caught or something, seems to happen randomly.
Also Safari seems much slower for me compared to ML, maybe I need a restart or something ..

You can do it but only if you delete the partition OS X is installed to. Since the drive contains the recovery partition you can't actually wipe the whole drive from it.
Alright, so if I only wipe my OS X partition my MacBook won't turn into a brick, correct? I'm trying to borrow a stick from my friends but only one has a 16 GB stick and he uses it all the time, so that sadly isn't an option.

I don't know what to do about this either. Hmmmm.

Wait, what's wrong with using both KeyChain and 1Password? I have both and they both work fine together.
did you DL 7.0.3? once you do, it shows up in iCloud settings
Do they? I heard people saying, during the iOS7 beta, that there were issues and conflicts, and I believe 1Password, even prior to this, recommended keeping Keychain off if you're using it.
I'm just worried as all. If they're redundant and both can play nice together, fantastic.
Ah I see, totally missed that one. Guess I'll grab it now.

My computer restarted, resumed the install, and has been at less than a minute for nearly 30 minutes. Ggrrrrrrr.

Yeah, I think it might be that when I scroll down, I kinda scroll to the side a bit too and then it snaps back? I was playing around with it and could make it do it over and over.

For me they do. I mean I personally have had no problems. What kinds of problems are they talking about?
Need to do clean install.
I have to get the installer to do the clean install.
The installer is gotten through the App Store.

This update is very disappointing. Laggy as shit on my 2011 MBA (which was zippy on ML), the inertia scrolling algorithm seems to have changed (for the worse), Calendar (like its iOS 7 counterpart) sacrifices productivity for aesthetics, Safari seems to drain the battery like crazy, Messages made my speech bubbles and those of the person I'm talking to the same color (without losing the gloss).
Half-baked update. Should've named it Liger or something, and then really ushered in a new era with the whole geography-based theme Mavericks is starting with an update next year to bring ALL the apps (except Calendar, eek) to parity with iOS 7.
Right now, it's an unsavory smorgasbord. With all this lag, I can't think of a single thing I'm really over the moon about except being able to reply to messages without switching my window (and, in theory, the new power saving features, but my battery life is shit no matter what and has somehow gotten even worse).

Has your spotlight finished indexing? Honestly I just can't imagine how or why you're experiencing lag like that when mine feels snappier and speedier overall on a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13".

Recovery Partition should do it right.
Am I correct in thinking that since the Recovery mode downloads the installer when you perform the install that it should grab the proper final version as long as you're on the GM? Since the GM should be the final one.
You should be able to reboot into the Recovery mode and use Disk Utility to reformat the drive then install fresh onto it. Then restore from a backup using Migration Assistant.
Must be something up with your installation. This is faster than my 2010 13" Pro has ever been. I found a bug. If you keep hitting volume up it will keeping beeping despite being at full volume.

I'm actually really upset at how unresponsive my trackpad has gotten after the update.
Here's the thing: The App Store gives me the option to download the installer, it just doesn't follow through. Other people on GM1 have gotten it to work, but for me it's just not going. It was giving me Error 1004 earlier, but now nothing.

It isn't indexing anything now, but I just realized that it's doing a Time Machine backup right now. That might explain the lag, so I will likely eat my words later on.
By the way, to whoever told me a few weeks ago that the new Safari stops automatically refreshing the page when going back to the previous page, you will be glad to know that you were either woefully mistaken or Apple changed something from beta to now, because it still force refreshes. In ML it happened for every page, and now it happens about 70% of the time, which is even more frustrating because now I don't know if it's an intentional design choice or a glitch.

It shouldn't matter. If you're on the GM, just reboot your computer with Option held down.
If you have a second machine that's still on Mountain Lion, download the installer, but before you run it, make a copy of it and place it somewhere for later.
Once you're on Mavericks, redownloading it is moot. Since you can just reboot into Recovery mode to reinstall without needing the installer app.

When clicking the battery icon there's now an "Apps using significant energy" section, which is listing Chrome 29 in my case.
Has anyone done any kind of battery test with web browsers yet? Would love to get some extra battery life out of my Air even if it means swithing to something else.

Safari is the most energy efficient browser, because it uses less CPU, according to Apple. I haven't made any tests, but I don't see why they would be lying.

I also noticed Mavericks has a slightly darker color profile. My screen looks..I guess "richer" in color after the update and I really like this. Not sure if anyone else notices it too but my external monitor looks fantastic and better than before.

Are there any big problems with Mavericks or is it safe to update to? Im on a 2012 MBA.

Yeah, I remember when the verge reviewed the new MBA they said safari gave it about an hour of extra battery life over Chrome.
Right now my 2013 Air is said 12.5 hours. I'm only browsing on Safari though, I'm sure if I was watching some youtube and stuff it would drop a bit. If I remember correctly it would say around 10 hours before.
put the mbp to sleep...it did the trick for me.
I take that back, it keeps going up. Now at 5 and a half hours despite going down in percentage. Nice.
Mavericks is so snappy, I love it. And hallelujah that faux linen is gone!

Doing a fresh install on my Air from the GM using the method I was suggesting.
Taking forever to download. Realllly should have waited until tomorrow since I'm now without a computer.
Oh well. lol

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Did an update from Mountain Lion to Mavericks tonight on my 2012 13" Retina MacBook Pro.
Wow - this is much nicer than I was expecting. The stuttering on sites is definitely improved. It's far from gone - it's still immediately apparent to the discerning eye on a site like The Verge. And when loading images, I can see the scroll bar skip around a bit. Still, much better than it was. Totally more enjoyable.
The aesthetic is definitely better. Still hoping we see more color and a flat design that mimics iOS7 in the next release; but as a stop-gap, this is pretty nice.
Notifications are much improved. Look better. Faster. And being able to reply is great.
Overall, seems a bit snappier. Still not perfect - but worth it for this gorgeous display.

Still downloading. 1 hour and 12 minutes.
You'll have to reformat and reinstall. Then migrate from your backup. Which you should have since it's 2013.
i have a time machine backup, but how do you migrate from it? Wouldn't that bring whatever problem? I can't seem to get my computer out of the install loop at this point anyway =/
The Real Abed
Perma-Junior
No because the problem is with the file system. Not a file itself.
Also Migration Assistant will let you migrate from a Time Machine backup.
Hold down Power until te machine turns off. Then start up holding Option. Choose Recovery and use Disk Urility to check the drive for problems.

I thought about that but didn't want to mess it up/restart the process.
Just waited it out, it took forever, but I got it finally complete.
