yeha and also delete the additional iwork files that are left on your mac after uninstalling
I think I managed to glitch it into working. I set the screens to orient vertically, leaving the dock on the bottom of the screen. This is set as primary and the secondary screen is on "top". So when I watch a video it goes to the second screen, and blocks the menu bar. VLC does this but MplayerX (which I prefer) doesn't, unfortunately.
Yes to the extra fan noise, and yes to the extra battery life. I seem to have got about an extra 45 minutes on a 2011 Macbook Pro.

Is the scrolling in iTunes on Mavericks GPU-accelerated yet?
How is movie playback in iTunes now that it is GPU-accelerated? QuickTime X? Any improvements there? I wonder if anything changed with the API exposure to hardware acceleration with Mavericks?

We're not allowed to update here at work yet. Apparently the computers that have updated aren't able to access our network drives, so we're holding off until we figure out a fix. I'd really like to hop on to see if it speeds up this MBP any. Too much of the spinning beach ball for my liking.

Not yet, sadly.
They're laying a new foundation like always. They strip out features and focus on just making a new core which they can build upon.

I've been skimming through John Siracusa's Mavericks write-up and just got through the section on multiple displays. I noticed he mentioned that Airplay monitors can now act as full-fledged additional displays.
Does that mean I can finally have 2 external monitors on my Macbook Air without using one of those crazy USB-to-HDMI adapters or Thunderbolt daisy-chaining? I'm thinking I can connect one monitor to the Thunderbolt port, and then use a 2nd monitor over Airplay. I just have to hook an Apple TV up to the 2nd monitor.
Is that correct? That would be so awesome. I'm struggling to decide between a new Air and a new rMBP (both at 13"). The biggest thing about the Pro that I want is the extra HDMI and Thunderbolt so I can use more than 1 external monitor, but if I can replicate that functionality over Airplay, then it makes my decision easy.

Mavericks woes continue. The trackpad seems super sensitive now to swiping left / right. Not only does the new inertial scrolling sucks compared to what it was on ML, you have to keep it as straight as possible while scrolling otherwise it will always try to swipe left or right. Happens on every browser I've used.
I rest my hand in a 45 degree motion and before it scrolled perfectly and swiped perfectly. Now I have to keep my hand as straight as possible so it doesnt keep trying to swipe left or right. The slightest angle while scrolling makes the window jitter left and right.
Its really really really really annoying and makes me not want to use the trackpad at all.

Anyone on here in a chemistry program and use Igor? If so, does it work on Mavericks? My wife needs the program all the time, and wants to make sure it works with Mavericks before upgrading from Mountain Lion.

I keep getting split second beachballs on OSX mavericks. It's really annoying. I'm on the newest gen MBA 13" with Core i7 1.7ghz and 8 gigs ram. Anyone else experiencing this?

Same here on my 2011 MBA (11 inch) with 4GB RAM. It literally comes and goes in less than a second, but it's pretty jarring (and entirely random, it seems).

Yeah, my mac isn't under load when it happens. It just randomly shows up during light web browsing.

Same here on my 2011 15" Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz Core i7 Quad, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, and Radeon 6750m 1GB. I even installed via upgrading from 10.8.5, made my own flash drive copy and used Lion Diskmaker and the split second beachballs still happen.
My system is fast for what it is but I really have no idea what is causing the split second beachballs.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like my performance is awful after the update. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro.
If I have more than 2 or 3 applications open my fans start going full speed, and everything slows down. It's just apps like Chrome, Mail, iTunes, etc. Nothing crazy.
Any ideas/solutions for this?

Safari has always been annoying for me because each time I opened it I'd have to zoom in a couple times on my iMac, but it would be that way until I closed it again. Now that I've updated, though, the sizing is reset with each page I visit. Is there a way to fix this? Apologies if I've missed that on here, I've been trying to keep up in this thread.
Yeah, just saw it. Good on them.New update fixes huge memory leak seems like that was the issue. Yay!

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Mavericks is a much bigger improvement over Mountain Lion. My 13" rMBP feels great. But man, that Verge review made me realize something would be much better:

Is Mail fucked for anyone else? Messages through my gmail account often won't come in on my Mac, but will on my phone.

Does the rest of Office 2011 work fine? My dad has it and I don't know when to give him the okay to upgrade. I'm afraid it'll break something.Microsoft Powerpoint 2011 crashing on Mavericks
To be honest Mac Office 2011 is a disgrace. The intercompatibility with the PC version (2013) is atrocious at times.
I know this to my cost via working in an office where I use the Windows version and a lot of other people have Macs.
Solution: either go for Pages/Numbers/Keynote or invest into a virtual PC application and run Office 2013 inside that. The new MBPs probably run a virtual instance of Windows better than most native Windows laptops.

You'll totally give me your old rMBP for free, right?

Running happily on my late-2008 MacBook Pro, still impressed how long this computer has remained relevant.
Mavericks has however given me a renewed interest in going Mac only again, and my Core2Duo MBP isn't quite up to that task

He's not going to do that.
Office 2011 works fine for him on Mountain Lion. I just wanna know if it'll continue working well enough in Mavericks. Or if there's any game breaking bugs that everyone has that MS hasn't patched.
I was just about to restore my non-iBooks ebooks from my backup disk, but apparently I had excluded the Music folder from Time Machine..
They were still on my iPad, so I tried to sync them, but it deleted them from the iPad instead. Ugh.
edit: They're in the MobileSync folder in the Library of the backup disk. I grepped for a few unique terms and got results. But they're in some kind of obscure format. No idea how to get them out of there, yet.

Leave it to go to 0%, then do a full charge. The battery meter thing calibration might have been thrown off by the update.
Neat.

All three apps working here. I mainly use Word but Excel and Powerpoint seemed fine as well.
can't you find someone (a friend or so) who could give you the .dmg ?
