Mavericks is up. At least in the UK. follow the link from apple.com.

 

[Servbot24]

It's up for me (NA) but only when I follow the iTunes link. Downloading now.

 

[Backfoggen]

DLing.

 

[infiniteloop]

those new iLife/iWork icons are kinda weird, not as iOS 7y as expected.

 

[killer_clank]

150 Megabytes down. This is gonna take a while, isn't it

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Attention everyone! Attention all Mac users!

Mavericks is NOW AVAILABLE and it is NOW FREE!

shit! This is awesome news.
Screenshots, anyone? Can't update til I'm home in 5 hours, LOL

 

[Skunkers]

It's up in the US. 5.29gigs

Sweet, thanks!

Downloading now.

 

[amnesiac]

How do you check download status in the app store? All I get is "downloading" but no progress bar.

 

[upandaway]

"App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store. Continue anyway?"

Welp. That's the first time an app told me it itself might not be secure. Guess they're getting hammered.

 

[celebi23]

I wonder if this is the same build as the 2nd GM or the 1st GM. If it's the same as the 2nd GM build, would I experience issues if I installed it over my 1st GM build install?

 

[Servbot24]

There should be a progress bar in the Launchpad.

 

[Diprosalic]

the other thread moves to fast and nobody is answering, so i ask here. should i upgrade to 8GB RAM on the 13" pro? i heard maverick uses some kind of features with ram?

i had a 2011 Air and performance was fine but i don't know if i need to future proof this device.

 

[amnesiac]

There should be a progress bar in the Launchpad.

Oh, thanks. Never use Launchpad that much. Got the progress bar now.

 

[KingKong]

how much is iWork if you don't have a new mac?

 

[ramyeon]

Oh, thanks. Never use Launchpad that much. Got the progress bar now.

It also shows one in the Purchases tab of the App Store.

OMG. Downloading. So excited.

EDIT: It is downloading quite slow even on my super fast work internet. Anyone know where I will be able to find the full Mavericks download file once it is finished?

EDIT2: I found it. It is in the Applications folder.

 

[titusandronicus]

Unsurprisingly, the DL has slowed down. Fluctuating anywhere between a few hours and a full day.

 

[corn_fest]

I wonder if this is the same build as the 2nd GM or the 1st GM. If it's the same as the 2nd GM build, would I experience issues if I installed it over my 1st GM build install?

For what it's worth, it says it's already installed for me on the 1st GM.

 

[glaurung]

The AppStore servers are getting absolutely hammered.

My download just crapped out, AppStore says 'An error has occurred' and that I need to try again via the purchase page.

I guess I will delay this upgrade a bit.

 

[Enzom21]

If any one wants to make a bootable USB for a clean install.

You are talking about the compressed memory?

The more memory your Mac has at its disposal, the faster it works. But when you have multiple apps running, your Mac uses more memory. With OS X Mavericks, Compressed Memory allows your Mac to free up memory space when you need it most. As your Mac approaches maximum memory capacity, OS X automatically compresses data from inactive apps, making more memory available.

As far as I can tell it seems that more sure would work fine, but there is no problem with the minimum of 2GB.


I'm downloading right now, the changes seem fine.

 

[Flek]

how do i even see the download speed in the app store?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I can't even tell if my Launchpad progress bar is moving.

 

[Diprosalic]

You are talking about the

okay, that makes the 4GB option look a bit better. i really don't want to pony up the extra $120 they charge. i'm already maxing my budget by not going with the Air (can't stand the shitty display)

 

[infiniteloop]

under the Purchases tab is it not?

 

[Enzom21]

The application folder gives you an ETA.

 

[SaintZ]

Downloading at 300 kbs/s... so excited

 

[Deku Tree]

My download speed is oscillating between 4-6 hours. And I have a lighting fast internet connection here at work.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Now Launchpad says it's downloading but the App Store says it's not. I don't even know what's going on.

 

[Flek]

The application folder gives you and ETA.

ok thx, edit and if you double click that you get a downloads list in the App Store

 

[dc89]

Downloading now. 20 minutes ETA.

 

[glaurung]

*sigh*

Impossible to download. The download times out after about every 5 megabytes.

 

[dc89]

Oh and if you go into App Store > Purchases you can see the ETA in there too.

 

[Rafy]

Has any site or any of you had problems with app compatibility ?
I did not make the switch to mountain lion cause of Adobe apps not being compatible.

 

[celebi23]

For what it's worth, it says it's already installed for me on the 1st GM.

So, are you going to install this new version over the 1st GM? When I tried downloading the new version, it mentioned an update for 10.9. Yet, no update exists.

 

[Technosteve]

Whts the best way to do the update? Is there a way to dowbload the iso and install from usb?

 

[dc89]

Looks like I've hit a brick wall now. 2.9GB downloaded and it's been sat there for a few minutes.

 

[Jigolo]

Just read the Arstechnica review. Everyone should take a look at it, it's very detailed. I changed my mind and am plunging in earlier than expected. I was going to wait for 10.9.1 but it seems very stable and battery life seems improved across the board.

 

[Enzom21]

Download from appstore and follow the directions here:

[Deku Tree]

The Mavericks file in my Applications folder says it has 208KB, but the App Store says it has downloaded 408 MB so far...

 

[The Real Abed]

The reason it's having trouble is because everyone is trying to get it at once. It happens every time. People are so impatient. If it doesn't work well for you, stop for a while and try later. Stagger yourselves.

 

[Enzom21]

Here we go!

 

[Xun]

So it's actually free? Wow.

Even for me on Snow Leopard? I won't upgrade just yet since a lot of apps will no longer be supported, but it's something to consider at some point soon.

 

[mr-paul]

The download was quick enough for me here at peak time in the UK (BT infinity!) but the install has an estimated time of 35 mins. Hurry up, I want to play with new things!

 

[MThanded]

Does this mean the icloud keychain will come back for ios now?

 

[kaskade]

I think I'm going to wait until I get home. My connection at work isn't too fast. I'm sure that won't matter much with the server most likely getting slammed.

 

[killer_clank]

The Mavericks file in my Applications folder says it has 208KB, but the App Store says it has downloaded 408 MB so far...

I'd imagine it's just a symbolic link until the download is finished.

 

[mcfrank]

Does this mean the icloud keychain will come back for ios now?

Already did. 7.0.3 is out.

 

[dc89]

my download has bit the dust. It cancelled

 

[infiniteloop]

anybody know what the build number of the public release is?
