![]() 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. 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. Skype for business screen sharing mac to windows. 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. 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. Avast for mac free. The new Apple Mac Mini, updated with Intel's third-generation Core CPUs and a new Fusion hybrid hard-drive option, brings improved value and welcome speediness to the most affordable Mac. ![]() 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.
