Is the drive formatted as NTFS by any chance? I had this issue with a NTFS formatted drive and I had to run a chkdsk on a Windows PC to fix the issue. If it's FAT it might as well be worth a try as well. I'm assuming your using Tuxera NTFS if it is. Ended up the drive wasn't ejected properly and it caused problems.

Might want to update critical data before running chkdsk though.

No it's MacOS Extended. I solved the problem; I ejected the drive and then plugged it back in. All is back to normal! :v:

Uuuh, did iTunes lose the option to sync the Addresses, Bookmarks, Calendars and other things to iOS locally?

The option seems gone and I’m not a huge fan of iCloud. Maybe it’s just a bug because I couldn’t find anything about this in the news.

What's the 'best practice' way to switch from 1Password to the iCloud Keychain? I think I'm the target audience for it since I only use Safari on OS X/iOS and the only times I would ever use a Windows PC is at work, in which case I'm not going to install 1Password or log onto anything non work related anyway.

Yup, I noticed that stuff was missing from iTunes when I started running the dev previews.

Use iCloud. The only functionality that doesn't seem to have been covered is syncing mail accounts/logins.

This fucker is stuck in my software update and won't go away no matter how many times I install it.




When I run update from the terminal, I get this:

pre:
Error downloading Mavericks Developer Preview Recovery Update: Can't load data for Mavericks Developer Preview Recovery Update from the Apple Software Update server
Also, I can't download Mavericks manually. Hitting the download button does nothing.

Any ideas?

EDIT: This is on both an '09 iMac and '12 rMBP

Are you on the first GM seed or the second? I was on the first but then I downloaded and reinstalled the release version and that went away.

The new sticky mail notifications are weird. Like if I've received two emails since I last checked, it will have a title with the last sender, but then underneath it says "2 notifications". So it looks like you got two from that person.

I ordered a refurbished rMBP last night. Will it come with Mavericks? New iLife? New iWork?

I'm guessing not. :(

Ordered one as well. The pricing was too good to pass up on.

From what I have been seeing from other convos, we will get all the new apps for free. It might not come installed, but we should be able to get codes for them, or ask them for codes. Mavericks is just a simple click button and install. I updated my Mac Mini last night and it took like an hour, but it was just a single button click. Wait. Done.

iCloud Keychain auto syncs with your phone and other Maverick computers. 1Password syncs with Windows machines and older OSX computers. So... whichever works better for you?

I use both. 1Password has a better password generator, can handle more fields than username/pass(i.e. my bank requires account number, id, and pass) and can be used on my gaming PC. iCloud Keychain autofills in Safari on my iPhone and iPad so I don't have to copy/paste from the 1Password app.

I went ahead and upgraded my Mac Mini server to Mavericks Seever last night. Ever since, I've had the devicemgrd process constantly using between 80-150% CPU, which was never the case whilst using Mountain Lion Server. Killing the process works temporarily, until the process respawns again a minute later. There's nothing in the logs to indicate what the problem is.

Googling doesn't provide answers; infact there's very little about devicemgrd at all. As best I can tell, it might be something to do with Profile Manager, but disabling the profile manager service in Server hasn't resolved the issue.

Anyone got any ideas??

Spotlight has to index again? Hrm. Guess I didn't even notice it happening? I love how the RAM is barely even touched anymore. I had Illustrator and InDesign running, along with Safari, and XChat. AND I'm not plugged into the power cable, and app store is updating my podcasts, and pages, numbers, and keynote apps. This would usually have me beach balling at iTunes for a while.

Not even a blip.



Look at that. It's like "Is that the best you can do? HAH!" In the past, being unplugged meant that the computer would drag rear end for a while as it switched to power save mode.

I've done the Mavericks update on several machines; yep, TRIM for non-Apple drives gets disabled every time. Trim Enabler 3.1 still brings TRIM back to fighting form.

And yes, the DVD installs of iLife '11 are being force-updated to App Store aware versions. Not a problem IMHO as iPhoto v.9.5 runs super fast, libraries with 18,000+ photos update in seconds instead of minutes.

Chrome: Bookmarks > Bookmark manager > Organize > Export bookmarks to HTML file

Regarding 1password, I'm a big fan of being able to have custom fields so that I can store things like randomly generated strings to answer asinine security questions like "Which is your favorite child?"

If you want something automated, Apple recently released a Chrome and a Firefox extension to auto-sync bookmarks to iCloud, but I'm not sure if it's Windows only or not.

That extension is awesome. The iCloud Control Panel used to be a giant heap of poo poo but now it's really handy. I'll be pushing that extension out since we're a company of Chrome on PC and iPhone users.

It prompted me that its Windows only. The export/import worked fine though, and I don't add bookmarks too regularly, so I'll just stick with Safari for a while.

Hello darkness,

This second seed of the GM is loving up my life. I am having issues with spotlight being unresponsive and the MAS refuses to download the installer for the release version of Mavericks.

:siren: Also: Apple changed what can be restored from using Migration Assistant.:siren:

Until Mavericks, you could use a mounted DMG from DeployStudio or CCC and restore from that. That does not work anymore, and I had to restore the DS image to an external USB3 HDD and migrate that way.

Is there a way to leave Prefs -> Mission Control -> "Displays have separate Spaces" enabled, but to assign different spaces to the internal and external displays?

Right now, with that option enabled, I can switch my MBP's internal display between Spaces 1-3 but my external display is effectively stuck on Space 4. Is there any way to, e.g. assign Spaces 1-3 to the internal display and assign Spaces 4-6 to the external display? I'd love to be able to mix and match spaces on the two different displays. Help?

Also, here's a tip for anyone who can't find the CLI Tools add-on in XCode5's Prefs -> Components under Mavericks and needs it installed/updated for homebrew or whatever: Go into a terminal and run "xcode-select --install", it should prompt you to install the CLI Tools.

Just saw a fix on MacRumors:

quote:

For those with issues I worked out how to get from the first GM to final Mavericks direct from the App Store without a second Mac/friend/etc.

1. Launch the App Store app

2. While it’s running, edit /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

3. Change the version numbers to 10.8 for both and save.

4. Switch back to App Store, click on the big Mavericks Banner and it should say “Free Upgrade” rather than "Install". Click on it and it’ll ask for your Apple ID and associate it to your account. Now it should show up in your Purchase History, etc.

5. Now you've "bought" it, you can change your version numbers back to 10.9. Quit and relaunch App Store.


Make sure you launch the App Store first though. If you change your version number first it'll refuse to launch.

Things I like:

-memory usage

-tabbed windows

Things I don't:

-no airdrop (using filedrop for the moment)

-no proper v6 bootcamp drivers yet for your keyboard etc.
(Don't uninstall windows if you don't have to. I found this the hard way)

-Removal of coloured file labels for tags. Tags suck, labels were immediately obvious and have worked great since MacOS 6.
