Installed it last night and already encountering a ton of problems already. I have a 2008 MacBook Pro, and it made it way too slow for me to operate. Furthermore if you run any NTFS tools for external drives, or Bootcamp, you can forget about accessing them for now.
- Bootcamp doesnt work?ESKEMA
- thanks for the update, I won't upgrade until I know bootcamp worksmonospaced
- Not sure if Bootcamp doesn't work. I just can't access my Bootcamp drive, or any other NTFS drive for that matter, while in OS Xtwooh
- I'm in OS Xtwooh
- NTFS has been read-only for years. You've always had to use a 3rd Party app to write.monospaced
- well reboot and try it man!! I need to know!!!1!11ESKEMA
- You may need more RAM. 2Gs is minimum, but 4Gs will run it more smoothly.wagshaft
- monospaced, not with "NTFS-3G", and "NTFS for Mac OS X". Those allow read/writetwooh
- You're an idiot if you updated and use ktexts extensivelyanimatedgif
- I got a late 2008 one also and its working good so far.Bullitt

- yeah avid will prob support it this springprophetone
- Yeah if I update pro tools right now then half of my plug ins stop workingbig-papes

Runs fine for me but I'm also not convinced this actually is a new OS. I think they just added the tags and tabbed finder window (which is useful) and then went surfing the rest of the summer.
- haahahahESKEMA
- hence, free.mantrakid
- sounds about rightJulesvm
- it's a small upgrade... from what... 10.8.5 to 10.9monospaced

Has anyone noticed that a process called "kernel_task" takes over your memory? It's running on my machine about 70% of the time, making the fan run and annoying me. Anyone know what this is?
- it's the popcorn settingprophetone
- Is that what has been reving up my fan? Son of a.instrmntl
- that's the kernel, that's basically your computer itself doing stuffmonospaced
- http://en.wikipedia.…)monospaced
- Yeah, I want to know what's causing it. My fan shouldn't run for hours when the computer is just sitting.nb
- ooohhh... focus on what apps your user is running, not the systems processesmonospaced

Any way to get back my finder chrome up/down arrows within scrollbars? Actually not just in finder, in any application.
- Should be able to turn them back on in System Preferences > General.nato
- Cool. I'll check that tonight. It was driving me bananas! Thanks.lvl_13
- Don't think they have the arrow thing anymore...
http://i.imgur.com/N…pango - Oh yeah, they did remove those arrows completely, didn't they. Shit, sorry lvl_13.nato

Mavericks is horrible. so many bugs. Feel like i downgraded from SL. A bit sluggish at times, lots of errors and hang ups. Also, software updates don't work on me. It just freezes :/
- Apple #1utopian
- how is it that you get tons of issues and others (like me) have absolutely none?monospaced
- I absolutely have no idea. Probably hardware related. Wish i waited for 10.9.1ezkl

the fucking itunes cover art screensaver now doesn't exit when you move your mouse. it instead asks you if you want to play one of hte records on the screen.
what sort of useless bullshit is that. when i move my mouse, i want the screensaver to go away. not to go down and have to find an "exit" button. christ on skates.
- What the fuck is a screensaver?nb
- I can't believe Apple has RUINED the screensaver feature. This is certainly the downfall of Apple.nb
- This would never have happened if Steve were still alive.nb
- My Zune has had this feature for years, fanboyshereswhatidid

I just upgraded this week and it's a pretty big UX improvement. They also finessed the visual hierarchies, I like the OS. No performance issues yet but I'm on a maxed out brand new iMac.
- brand new iMacs don't ship with Mavericks, bro... you should be on Yosemitemonospaced

My multi-touch gestures on the magic mouse aren't working. It still tracks and scrolls but non of the mission control gestures work. They're all turned on in preferences too.
Annoying.
- i use magic prefs, and things seem to be working fine. Is this a new issue for you?bulletfactory
- Worked perfectly before upgrading to mavericksset
- Fixed it now with third party appset

My late 2012 iMac, running snow leopard, used to literally take about two minutes to wake up after being asleep all night. I'd get a slightly greyed out screen with a loading bar and it took forever to wake up, then once it had my mouse would take another 30 seconds to connect through bluetooth.
Compared to my slower imac at work which woke up instantly, it was fucking terrible. I rang applecare and they tried to rubbish it off saying that the more ram the computer had the longer it would take to wake up, which I knew was utter rubbish.
Anyway... after installing mavericks my iMac now wakes up instantly. Good stuff.

mono: that's weird. I thought it was a hardware thing but mavericks sorted it out for me...
Mine seemed to depend on how long it had been asleep. If only for an hour then it'd wake up a lot quicker than waking it up in the morning.
- I don't know why it does it. It might be a new thing regarding energy efficiency. It's just not always.monospaced
- Yea it's odd, I've owned probably 10 macs and this one is the only one that's done it. Glad it's fixed now.set
- monospaced0
set, my late 2012 iMac does that grayed out wake up with Mavericks. My older iMac doesn't. Think it's a hardware thing? It does bother me waiting.
- It's not consistent though. Sometimes it's instant after a day. I can never predict when it'll be in a coma.monospaced
- Same for me - not consistntnylon

OMG, holding down the command key in the Finder when opening a folder now opens the folder in a new tab instead of a new window. Can some explain the reasoning behind this change?!? It seems to me the ONLY reason to command-double-click a folder would be because you want to open a new window so you can drag some files from one window to the other. NO?
