I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 Mavericks today. I had to update a graphics converter called Flip4Mac that plays Windows video files on Macs.  It looks like Adobe Lightroom is running a little slower on the new OS.  I’ve read that Mavericks likes more memory, I have 24 GB installed so I should be fine.  Earlier I installed it on my older Mac Pro laptop, where the speed decline was noticeable. This 6 year old laptop is maxed out at 4GB of memory and has 2 cores vs. the 4 in the iMac.

I had no problems with the hour long update. Prior to installing I used disk utility to make sure there were no problems with the hard drive, and I also told it to fix file permissions and it fixed quite a few files. I had read to do this before updating the OS. Cost to update from 10.8? $0.00 Nice, thanks Apple. How much does Microsoft charge for a major OS update?

Apple users, thinking about upgrading your OS to Mavericks?  The price is right, $0.  If you are a heavy user of Adobe products (I use Photoshop and Lightroom), the CS6 and CC versions of these work with Mavericks per Adobe.  Here’s the link:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html

As for me, I don’t like versions of OS’s that end in .0   So I plan to wait a few weeks and let other, more adventurous souls find the bugs and glitches.
