OS X 10.9 Mavericks Released as a free download

[Mitch]

The Next iteration of OS X has been released completely free to compatible Macs via the Mac App Store.

You can grab the download here -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-ma ... d675248567

I haven't been able to download and test compatibility with everything yet, so check online to make sure your apps and devices will work before you update to save any hassles

I wonder if my new iMac I'm getting at the end of the month will come with this, will probably hold off until logic gives the go ahead

About to check out apples media event to see what's new with all things apple

[Mitch]

All new Macs from today will come with it.

And logic will work fine as it's made by apple themselves. They check compatibility & update if needed with their own in-house apps.

I might check out the event on the weekend.. Don't have time until then

I've seen people saying that Native Instrument vst's work fine with it.

Keen to see how ableton fares with it before I jump in.

I've seen people saying that Native Instrument vst's work fine with it.

Keen to see how ableton fares with it before I jump in.

i was about to ask how ableton goes.

not going to update if $600 worth of software doesnt work haha

[Cupe]

Does that mean I can get it and put it on the mac I got from Cap?

And I only want to use it for Logic so I dgaf about other apps.

[Cupe]

Think I finally managed to get the download going..

Fucking macs

[Mitch]

The apple servers are getting slammed hard (nohomo), so it's gonna download fairly slow until the hype dies down.

[Cupe]

I'm about a quarter down

[Cupe]

Done and installed.

interesting - general feedback so far seems to think this is a smooth upgrade and isn't showing any major problems with:

Ableton https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/mavericks-compatibility/

Serato https://serato.com/forum/discussion/1087089#new

And this thread has details on various platforms including traktor: http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=76732&highlight=mavericks

Many users report there are some issues with the power button on all upgraded Macs but which are not related to music software. At first glance they look like users not getting used to small changes.

Personally though - i'm gonna hold on for the weekend. Never upgrade without time to test.

[russell]

check this. Pretty thorough. there's links in it so I cant be fucked copying it all over.

[Cupe]

I have hardly anything running on mine so I was safe to upgrade

[LabRat]

anyone got any info to share on this one with logic, NI and 32bit 3rd party plugins?

[Mitch]

Go to roaringapps.com to check all your apps.

Logic Pro 9 reports it's compatible.

NI haven't updated their site to indicate it is supported yet.

3rd party 32-bit plugins should work as long as you don't upgrade to logic pro x.

Also make sure you check your soundcard is compatible.

I'm holding off for a bit simply because I don't have time to check everything is compatible yet before I upgrade.

[russell]

Have seen various people saying that all their NI things work fine with it. traktor, maschine, reaktor etc etc...

[Tomy]

steer clear of the update if your on pro tools, or any other avid programs for that matter.

Mavericks related but not music related... is it ok to post?

Anyone else getting weird mail issues with Gmail via Macmail?

and problems syncing Mac Address Book with Google contacts?

but only since Mavericks?

[Gandy]

I did, then changed the account type from pop3 (old mail standard) to an exchange account, gmail switched over to being an exchange type of account a awhile ago

[eggssell]

hey mr school uk.

sorry cant help you on the mail side of things, but is your dj stuff working okay on it. maybe you should record a video and post it up. hmmmm maybe some uptempo sample based hip hop ? just so we know your software is working aiight.

also on topic, i can confirm Traktor Scratch Pro 1.2.7 seems to be working fine. I had to change the sample rate from 44.1 to whatever the next setting is (44.9? maybe) as there was clipping happening. first I tried increasing the latency, switched off a few of the antennaes but nothing fixed it. once I moved sample rate, crisp as a mofo.

I tehn reduced latency back down to about 5ms, turned on wifi and Bluetooth, and still crisp as a pringle.

[Mitch]

Gmail had issues originally - they published updates to fix it.

Go to App Store and run all the updates and it should fix the gmail issues

[djschooluk]

hmm, my gmail accounts are all set up as IMAP and the app store shows no updates available.

Still I get issues with mail client and contacts.

Main issue with mail being - I am receiving new mail - subject line shows it is new, but when I open the content area has actually been replaced by something ancient from my server... Very strange indeed. On my other mac (not on mavericks yet) these mails display fine.

Main issue with contacts being - it's just not syncing all.

Perhaps something else at work here?

And yer Eggs, I'm on it
