Support NeoGAF

[mcfrank]

my download has bit the dust. It cancelled

Same

 

[jstripes]

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.

Then who was update?

Spoiler

There was a 2nd GM? Didn't know that.

 

[bloodforge]

Nice waking up and finding out this is free, was expecting it to be at least $20.

Updating now.

 

[MThanded]

Already did. 7.0.3 is out.

not showing on ota.

 

[The Real Abed]

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.

What apps do you have? SL is so old, I'm sure most of what you could possibly have is probably well past compatible.

Does this fix notifications? Non-stop notifications that can only be turned off for a day are the worst.

Does this fix gestures? The spread-gesture only works 1 out of 5 times and it's the only one you can't customize. It was perfect in Mountain Lion Snow Leopard.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can disable notifications for any app entirely in notifications settings.

 

[Deku Tree]

Oh terrible. Now I am at 20 hours ETA.

Had the same problem with 7.0.3 not showing OTA, just found out a fix though. Turn off WiFi and then check for updates again, and it'll show up. Then re-enable WiFi to download it.

(worked for me at least)

Notification Improvements

The Notification Center has been overhauled and notifications have new functionality that includes cross-platform syncing with iOS.

Users can send replies directly within notifications for emails, FaceTime calls, and Messages. Messages, tweets, and emails can be drafted and sent from within the Notification Center without opening apps.

When waking from sleep, the Notification Center will also display all alerts received on the login screen, and as with iOS 7, apps will automatically update in the background and send a notification when an update is complete. Do Not Disturb mode, an iOS feature, has been added to block notifications during scheduled times.

No idea about gestures, if those don't work fine for you, maybe use some hot corners instead.



Around 20mins left for me.

Is anyone else downloading it from the App Store and it says 'downloading' on the Mavericks page but there's no progress bar or anything else to indicate it actually is downloading.

 

[Dany]

The part about saving battery is bull. My 2010 mbp dies a lot sooner than it did with ML. I

 

[dc89]

Same

I persevered and restarted it. Been out to put petrol in the car and came back to this!

That's not good to hear, how long have you been using Mavericks?

 

[maxxpower]

Nevermind, I fixed it.

 

[Guess Who]

Immediately after updating you may notice worse performance. This is Spotlight reindexing your drive. Wait for that to finish before judging performance or battery life.

 

[LCfiner]

From Siracusa’ review. Look at the battery jump on the oldass 2007 MBP.

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/os-x-10-9/18/

I’d say if anyone is getting reduced battery life with Mavericks, consider a reinstall as it doesn’t appear to be the normal state of things.

 

[Deku Tree]

OMG. I paused my ultra slow download. And then I resumed it 30 seconds later. And not it says 24 minutes instead of 13 hours. Yay!

 

[Dany]

That's not good to hear, how long have you been using Mavericks?

Since the first developer preview. It is not buggy at all anymore. I don't recall how it faired between each dev update but between Mountain Lion and Mavericks I get an hour or so less.

I do that, then it suggests it's not downloading, so I click 'Download', the wheel spins, and nothing happens.

 

[Guinness]

Already asked in the other topic but I don't know if my 2008 MacBook Unibody will handle Mavericks properly.

Somebody tried with some recent developer preview or even the final release ?

Mine was the same Daniel.

you could also try under updates there should be a new tab for mavericks

 

[Vashetti]

Err, got to 2GB and then it said it failed and I had to start over.

Didn't even resume from the 2GB I already downloaded. Such bullshit.

 

[Number45]

Almost installed!

 

[so1337]

I'm not sure what you mean. You can disable notifications for any app entirely in notifications settings.

I remember constantly getting bombarded with update notifications from the app store and subsequently killing the notification center dead via Terminal.

I'm using BetterTouchTool which has fully customizable gestures. I was just hoping Apple would see the error of their ways so I wouldn't have to rely on a third party app which may or may not be supported in the future.

 

[Quidam]

Thanks to both you and Incitemaybe for the help, but this doesn't seem to be there for me either. That said, my internet is slow right now so I think something is downloading.

 

[Incitemaybe]

My retina macbook already feels snappier and it seems like Spotlight is still doing its thing.

 

[Servbot24]

Edit, double post

 

[Ambitious]

1h 20min left.. guess I'll cancel it and go to bed. Planned to do a clean install on the weekend anyway.

 

[Servbot24]

Installing now but I just realized this will probably log me out of everything and I don't have all my old emails and passwords

 

[Dany]

It doesn't. Chrome /firefox kept my info logged in.

 

[jstripes]

God damn... Ars Technica's Mavericks review is 24 pages long.

When they go in-depth, they go in-depth.

 

[Number45]

Posting from Mavericks. \o/

Looks... the same.

 

[Wiz]

Going to update once I get home..this is my
first time updating my Macbook, anything I need to know? Should I be worried about losing any settings/files?

First time here as well, although I rebuilt recently so didn't have a lot to lose. All looks intact at the moment.

 

[The Real Abed]

I can't upgrade on my Mac mini yet because CrashPlan's restore feature currently does not work right for me. I can't restore any backed up files. I sent a support request. Hopefully they have a new version in the works.

Wouldn't be a problem if they let me restore files on their website like DropBox.

 

[cyberheater]

It says 4 more minutes left for the install but I don't think real time and Apple time are the same thing.

As with any OS update. You should back up all you files.

 

[maxxpower]

Are the new iWork and iLife apps on the app store yet?

 

[MYE]

Installing NOW on brand new iMac

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Downloading now. It's fucking flying. Though I am on my school's internet.

 

[Wiz]

Whats the best backup/restore method?

 

[dalVlatko]

"Under a minute remaining" sure took a long time.

Chrome scrolling feels bad now. Momentum doesn't seem to kick in until I'm at the bottom of my track pad.

 

[StopMakingSense]

God damn... Ars Technica's Mavericks review is 24 pages long.

Siracusa's OSX reviews are always about this long. He's been doing it for Ars since developer preview 2 of 10.0

.

Thank god you said that. It's been stuck on less then a minute for more then 5 mins.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Downloading the Enhanced Dictation is taking longer than downloading and installing Mavericks.

 

[cyberheater]

Time Machine.

 

[Number45]

Yeah, took a while for me as well. And then when it restarts... another 7 minutes.
