How do I install drivers for a webcam?
Nothing happens when I plug my Logitech c920 into my MBP.
Thanks.

Oh how spooky! That's mine as well! Since it is my first mac I
didn't for example max out the memory. Still Mavericks after this
clean install seems to run quite optimally.

Hi again Chris. Yes, I can see how that would make sense for OSX to
automatically default to the recovery partition once the hard drive
has been wiped. At least, one would hope that this would be its behaviour.
Hey what do you know. I too got my Mac Book pro a late 2011 13 inch
model. Specks: 500GB hard drive and 4GB of RAM.

Hello Daniel
As for me I did straight updates from Lion which was preinstalled
on my late 2011 MBP to Mavericks and so no wonder rubbish have
been accumulated. Lol! Well I don't know very much about this but
the mac does offer internet recovery which can be invoked with
command-option-r after the chimes or it will be invoked
automatically if no recovery partition exists and presumably the
mac is wiped clean.

Hello Chris, am glad to hear that by performing a clean install
you are experiencing lots of improvements. Out of interest,
before you did the clean install did you upgrade from any
previous version or versions of OSX?
As for myself, for the clean install folks this may sound crazy
but I've been doing straight updates from Lion and as of yet, I
haven't experienced any problems with any upgrade. "If it aint
broken, don't fix it." I guess that's my motto. lol
However, I may consider performing one when the new OSX comes
out in the Autumn. Partly, I'm keen to experience it myself
without any sighted help and because well to get rid of some of
the rubbish that my system may of accumulated since 2011 when I
brought my MBP. Like Chris, I could do with a bit of a speed
boost myself and so think I'll give it a shot come autumn! .
Chris, and others I have a question about clean installs. Sure, I
know why it is a good idea to create the installer on a flash
drive but my question is this: If one was in a situation where
they didn't have a flash drive for whatever reason and they
erased/wiped and reformatted the hard drive that is on there
system and restarted the Mac computer and held down command R to
bring up the recovery partition, Would it be possible to install
OSX from the recovery partition by obviously having an internet
connection to download the OS and go from there to setup there new system.
Basically, what I am trying to say is that without any backup
media of an installer would it still be possible to clean install
OSX with just the recovery partition and an internet connection
without nothing else. As a side note: obviously you wouldn't do
this but what would happen if a novist completely wiped there Mac
OS restarted, heard the chine sound and waited. Would it just
simply be well... broken? Hence, why a backup media of the
installer would certainly be a life saver.
Thanks for any answers in advance.

Hello everybody
Well my clean install of Os X 10.9 Mavericks is going very well.
My startup time has been dramatically improved thanks to the
clean install from over a minute to about half that time maybe
less. It certainly can help to do a clean install if you have
issues like that. And when I say clean install I mean that.
Restructure your disc and reinstall the operating system from
scratch. As you have seen from my note the other day I used my
USB flash drive with the Mavericks Installer created with
Diskmakerx rather than the recovery partition. I like to have my
installer on file in case my internet is out of action which
would be required if installing from the recovery partition
since the installer base image isn't actually stored on the partition.
