so my 2010 MBP has been in "less than a minute remaining" for like 20 minutes, should I be concerned?

Wierdly since updating, highlighting spoilers on NeoGAF when using Dark Theme shows up with white highlight, making it very very hard to read. Anyone else had this? (Safari)

ok then, the waiting game it is
How can you see which apps use a lot of energy? I don't have that on my Macs.
Also, how can I make a hot corner to make the computer go to sleep?

Good question. I think this is one of a few particularly sticky areas for people coming from Windows into the established Mac way of doing things, the other being the function of the green plus button on a window's title bar. On the Mac, there's never been a cut/paste paradigm for files. There are a bunch of philosophical arguments for this and pragmatic ones against this. It is what it is.
Like many powerful tools, learning the tool is secondary; on the Mac this means Apple has worked hard to make basic things discoverable (though not as well as they did in the '80s and '90s), but more powerful things can be hidden if they would be confusing (e.g. Safari's develop menu). One can argue that moving files is basic, but the Mac already has a straight forward way of doing this: drag the file.
Modifier keys are used everywhere on the Mac for expert users: to modify cursor operations, text operations, keyboard commands; many times you need to hold a key when checking out the menus to discover them; hiding them reduces clutter for casual users who don't need them. Everything is a compromise.
I didn't know (or perhaps, remember) before replying to your post that cmd-opt-v was 'move'. I just clicked the edit menu and held option.
Modifier keys affect drag-and-drop too: try holding cmd, opt, and cmd-opt together as you drag a file around to the same volume and different ones.
If you're familiar with image editors, try holding shift and/or option as you resize a window.
^^ I use the keyboard for so much (have full keyboard navigation turned on all of my Macs), but I use the cursor for file organization tasks.
When I installed Mountain Lion last year the numbers started going negative. I thought I fell into a wormhole.

I had to go looking for Garageband. It was still free, but the previous Garageband is now Garageband 6.0.5 on my Mac and I have both installed.

That part is just a file download. Assuming your disk checks out as healthy there should be no problem.
Have done a '10 Mini and an '11 Air with no problems. Mac Pro was a bit of a chore: apparently my SSD boot volume was broken, so had to erase and restore from backup for that, then I had to make the partition smaller to make room for the recovery partition.
I believe OS X uses 1GB = 1000MB, and not 1024. It's probably that.
I was trying to download mavericks, and halfway through my macbook crashed. I restarted and everything is as it was, but I'm scared to try againI have a 15' macbook pro from last year. This happen to anyone else?
Just downloading it won't make any system changes, it's treated as a regular disk image. Download again and leave the computer alone during the whole process just in case. Particularly during actual installation.

Rosetta is not coming back. Neither is Classic. It's been 8 years. Time to find new apps.No return of Rosetta, right?
That's why I stopped at Snow Leopard.

Don't do a clean install and there's nothing to put back. How you do backups will determine how to do a restore should you need to.

Not to sure where to get the iLife trial ;-( apples page says it's not supported.
Also, the new version of Garageband is free it seems, it doesn't update the old one just makes a new one?

Feel the same way here...I always use the calendar in full screen, and the month view is a lot harder to read for me. It's better in a smaller window size, though.
sounds good.
recovered memory? 30GB? What do you mean?
Good to see Safari continue to improve.
Very cool. Safari has matured nicely.I must be the only person in the world who liked the auto refresh in Safari
Tabbed finder, ah ha!
QT still a piece of shit that runs absolutely nothing, and seems to lose functions every year.
VLC crashes every other movie now, also feels so damn old. Isn't it funny that we keep improving and upgrading yet the same damn movies can't be jogged, rwd or fwd smoothly? No improvement in video over the decade. Will try this MPX soon. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've never had a single problem with VLC yet everyone on GAF whines about how shit it is.
So strange.
So strange.
Hm, I installed the trial earlier in the day but nothing shows up for me. They probably fixed it. Bummer.
I can't check it right now but if I understood correctly the new version of GarageBand is free with IAP while the older version has the full feature set, so I'd advise against deleting the previous version even if you install the new one.
No return of Rosetta, right?
That's why I stopped at Snow Leopard.
If you have access to a Snow Leopard computer:
1. Put your Mavericks Mac in Targeted disc mode.
2. Connect it to the Snow Leopard Computer.
3. Insert your Snow Leopard disc.
4. Install Rosetta - selecting the Mavericks Mac as the destination hard drive.
5. Reboot your Mavericks Computer
6. Profit.
I'm sure we all have varying 'collections' of formats, sizes, etc.

So... anyone else experience this? Different people in Messages have their messages formatted differently, my dad, who only messages me from an iPhone has yellow backgrounds but the same font as my messages; my partner's messages are in a massive Futura font with a white background.
Huh. I took from the presentation that there were IAP purchases (similar to the Jam Packs and lessons of yore).
I can download Garageband 6.0.5 from the Mac App Store from my 'Purchased' list.

Wait, this works? Whaaa? Have you actually tried this? Or are you just guessing?

That works? Holy shit. Can you just boot of a USB 10.6 drive and install to the local 10.9 system? I'd do this just to play Tropico 2 again.

Feels like a very minor update but the ability to send driving directions to my phone from the desktop Maps app alone makes it worthwhile. Love that feature.
Worked in Lion and Mountain Lion
It doesn't give 100% compatibility but helps get most stuff working.
EDIT: Testing it now to put my money where my mouth is. Ran into an issue where 10.6 can't read a 10.9 disk in targeted mode. I'm not sure if that's because I have a fusion drive or if they actually plugged this loophole. Going to keep trying and get back to you.

Except that it's for Apple Maps.
Better to just send Google Maps directions to your Gmail and set the Gmail app to open links with the Google Maps application on your phone.
Of course, you live in the Bay Area, so I'm sure Apple Maps is just fine.

MacMAME. Some games. Elite Force 1 & 2, among others. :|
Emu scene is a little volatile in that regard. I still have a gumdrop iMac in case I want to check in on Classic.
Is this real life?
Thank you! Will try this soon!
Seems pretty glitched for me now. Will jump between monitors with no rhyme or reason and then get stuck on one.
Runs amazing on my 5,3

Yeah I've never had a problem with Apple Maps in CA.
