One program is the Mavericks install bundle itself. The other program
does the hard work required for some of you anyway to create the install
media. I never invested time in the command line at the moment so for
now Diskmakerx does the job for me and does it well.

If I ever decide to do so, will I need to make a bootable usb drive? I know how
to use my mac pretty well but am unsure of some of what the person who created
the guide meant.
For example, why I would need 2 programs just to accomplish this task.
Can anyone explain further?

Hi,
Most of your questions were answered by Chris, but, is it a good idea to do it
prior to the release of the new OS in the Fall? Unnecessary in my opinion. If
you're not having any problems, with your current installation, then simply do
the install/upgrade over your existing one. In 99/100 times, there won't be
any problems. Just make sure, as always, to have a solid, working backup
before you do the upgrade install.

Is the process completely accessible to voice over users? Can someone send me
instructions on how to do it in case I need to do it? Is it a good idea to do
it before the new operating system comes out? In the past, I have installed
what ever
Operating system over top of what I already had. I have not had any problems
doing this.

Hi,
* Disk cleanup software will not do what a clean install will do. Yes, it will
get rid of much of the clutter, but it will not be as clear as a clean install
does. the Clean Install wipes everything off the drive, re-installs the OS
back to base level then you need to re-install all apps and such.
* Disk defragmenters are unnecessary in the Mac OS as those sorts of activities
are performed automatically in the background either overnight or first thing
in the morning..
* The benefit to using Time Machine is that all settings and your complete
system are backed up incrementally so you have access to those previous states
as well as a mode of totally restoring your Mac to the way you've become used
to, since the Time Machine backups are like a snapshot in time of everything on
your Mac.
* The basic iCloud account has 5 GB of space for your use. In most cases, this
is not enough space to backup iTunes music libraries.
HTH.

I would like to ask why should a mac user should do a clean install? haven't we
have a program called clean system register just like for windows?
Is Mac do have disk defragmenter or disk cleanup?
So why would we bother using time capsule if we can clean install everything
just incase something went wrong.How many disk space could my iCloud could use
if i want to back up my songs? and files?
thanks for the answers in advance
