For the last 3 months my repeated attempts to upgrade to Mavericks had crashed at the authorisation stage with a message saying Apple had received a report of this problem. To be fair to Apple it appeared that they have repaired the bug which, for whatever reason, was preventing my upgrade from ML.
Last night I was prompted yet again to upgrade by Software update and this time everything appears to have gone very smoothly. I came down this morning after leaving the process running and I was able to log into the new OS easily. I have been using the new OS for less than an hour and I have not investigated much but so far none of the difficulties others have experienced in the past apply to me. I opened Safari and if anything appears snappier than under ML and I have not yet experienced any busy messages. TextEdit and Mail have been equally snappy. I have so far only 2 issues with using Mail. The Mac is annoying me by announcing new emails as notifications of new emails as I am typing. There also appears to be an initial problem with using option arrow keys to navigate by word. Hopefully the latter will clear when I reopen Mail and hopefully there is a way of turning notifications off. I certainly do not have any issues with Finder busy at the moment, which is a relief as I use Finder in column view. I love this view and I had been given to understand it does not work well under Mavericks. for me however it appears fine. I thought I would report upon what has been a positive upgrade experience so far.
