If anyone has trouble with slow download speed, try using the Torrent link. Then I tried using The Unarchiver to unzip and it worked. Unzipping with the stock unzipper got me an error right at the end, tried several times. Then I used Show Package Contents in the right-click menu. I tried the xattr -cr and it did not change, but I did not try with sudo. I want to make a install/utility stick with the installer.Īfter downloading, the file icon had a slash. I'm already on Mavericks, so all file operations were performed on it. While I appreciate people uploading, the illogical packaging and awkwardness made me feel like there was something malevolent with this download. I ran several scans and did not come up with rootkits. I quickly shut down, booted from a backup, and had to delete the files (all of them, who knows what's in that mess) with rm -rf to clear them out. And I could not get rid of the external file, Traah would not empty, and rm -rf did not work either.Įven after a restart the error said the file was active. UPDATE: After getting the Installer file out of the pointless packaging, I started to have slow Finder and erratic trackpad issues. And stumped as to why the zip file will not open for me. I am stumped as to why this is the only version they will not let you download. I'm very very sad because I need to make a bootable drive and Apple does not offer THIS InstallMacOSX! I can DL the versions above and below - but NOT MAVERICKS. I tried opening THAT zip file (hoping for different results) but the same thing happened. It downloaded differently (as described in other reviews) so I looked at the package contents and found the same zip file that I got from the zip link. After all that I decided to try the Torrent link. Please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly). “We’ve focused on three things with mavericks: technologies to improve the performance of your hardware, new features, and new apps,” said Federighi.Ĭupertino had previously said Mavericks would arrive this fall.I tried Archive Utility (Error 1 - Operation not permitted), Stuffit and The Unarchiver (both crashed) and the Terminal (which said there were xtra bytes at the beginning or within zipfile, attempting to process anyway - then - start of central directory not found zipfile corrupt. The next-gen OS, which breaks from Apple’s prior convention of using big cat names for OS updates (naming it after a surf break at Half Moon Bay, California, instead), brings a raft of improvements, including an enhanced Finder, better multimonitor support, a standalone iBooks application, and improved power management to OS X-powered Macs.Īpple spent a while talking up Mavericks’ battery efficiency, memory and graphics improvements at its San Francisco-based event today - as well as diving into apps, maps and notifications. (Especially if your company name is Microsoft.) It’s available on Macs as old as 2007.Īpple’s prior OS updates had been coming down in price - costing as little as $29 for Snow Leopard and even less in recent years - but Cupertino making a major OS update free is still a big deal. Lion, Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard users can upgrade in one step (for free) to OS X Mavericks (the 10th major version release of the OS). Today, we’ll revolutionize pricing,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s SVP of software engineering. “Today, we announce a new era of the Mac.” “Over the last few years, we’ve reengineered our development process, and, the way we distribute. The software is available to download from the Mac App Store, starting from today. Apple has announced the release date and price for the new version of its desktop OS, OS X Mavericks.
