System information with Mavericks I want to first write what does not work: • Sleep mode – not working at all – leave on or shut down • The build-in web camera – “works” but not as it did in 10.7, I think • YouTube-video (etc), works occationally (now worse than in 10.7, my experience) I suggest you read the user comments to this post. A few helpful readers have shared their experiences.

Google on Tuesday announced that it will phase out support for its popular Chrome browser on OS X versions 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, as well as The announcement came via the official Chrome blog, where the search giant revealed that Mac users will need to be running OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later. Home > Mac administration, Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server > Downloading Server.app for Mavericks and Mountain Lion. As of November 1, 2014, here are the Mac App Store URLs for Server.app 2.2.5 for OS X 10.8.5 and Server.app 3.2.2 for 10.9.5.

What you need: • A USB Memory, 8GB or larger • Mac OS X Mavericks (i had the install/upgrade Application that I had myself downloaded on another Mac, from App Store, when I upgraded it from 10.8 to 10.9. I always keep these for possible future use.) •: I used version 1.4.4 which is currently the latest stable • Audio/Video-drivers from (not here anymore, se comments below). Warning, this is one of these horrible download pages where you don’t know where to click to get the right thing, and what gives you spyware. You should get the file mac-mini-mavericks.7z. Discard anything else without opening. The 7z-file can be opened with StuffitExpander, that already comes with Maverick Making a bootable USB-drive You first need to use SFOTT to create your bootable USB-drive (it is called “key” in SFOTT).

You simply double-click on SFOTT on a Mac where you both have your Mavericks Install App and your USB-drive. SFOTT is a self guiding menu-driven application. It will take some time to make all the settings in SFOTT (it took me perhaps 15 minutes), but it was self-explanatory and not very difficult.

Best Free Video Editing Software for Mobile These apps are for people who like to capture and share videos from their smartphones and edit videos on the go. Movie editor free for windows 10. Best for: Mac users getting started with video editing.

Use the autorun mode to create the drive. Recovery Scenario When you install a Mac OS upgrade there is a risk your Mavericks system will not boot. When upgrading from 10.9.0 to 10.9.5 like I did, it will not boot. My impression (after reading different sources) is that this recovery is needed when upgrading from 10.9.0 (or 10.9.1 / 10.9.2) but not later. Nobody knows about 10.9.6 of course, because it is not out. Minor upgrades to applications or security upgrades should not cause need to recovery.

When Mavericks fails to start you need to “re-Patch” using SFOTT. I installed Mavericks on a separate partition, side-by-side with Lion, so when Mavericks failed to start my computer automatically started Lion instead and I could run SFOTT in Lion to re-Patch my Mavericks system. If you can not do side-by-side you can start from your SFOTT-key (which you still have) and instead of installing Maverick you start the Terminal application. Find the SFOTT.app on the key, and find SFOTT.sh inside SFOTT.app. Run SFOTT.sh and you can re-Patch your broken Mavericks system. I did the entire procedure on my working Mavericks just to test it, and it seems fine. There is if course no true guarantee that a future Apple upgrade will not break everything completely.

Installing Mavericks Installation of Mavericks from the USB-drive is very standard. To start the computer from the USB-drive, hold down the “alt”-key (not Apple-key, not ctrl-key) while starting the computer. Choose SFOTT and proceed normally. After about an hour you should have a clean 10.9.0 Mavericks with network/wifi working. Video will work, but with problems (try Safari, and you will see), and Audio will not work. Upgrade Mavericks I used App Store to upgrade Mavericks to 10.9.5.

That works just fine, until Mavericks fails to start (I ended up in my old Lion system on a reboot, if you have no other system installed your computer with probably just not start). This is where you need to recover your system using SFOTT. Fixing Audio and Video The 7z-file I referred to above contains Audio and Video drivers.

You run the application “Kext Utility” and the you drag the contents of the folder Extensions into the Kext Utility, and it will install the drivers. There is a folder with “optional wifi drivers”, I have not installed those because wifi has been fine all the time for me. The MacBook2,1 has Intel GMA950 Video, and there are no supported 64-bit-drivers for Mavericks. The drivers I suggest you to install are supposed to be drivers from a public beta of 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that Apple once released. They seem to work quite fine for me though. And not installing them is worse. I suggest you upgrade to 10.9.5 before fixing Audio and Video.
