Maverick
Hello all, Have just upgraded to Maverick. Can I use the same bootable HD (ML) to do the occasional SuperDuper backup ? Is there an official Maverick user manual ?

Re: Maverick
Hi Ronni, I have one D. Pogue missing manual for Leopard already and found it very good. Its much more than just a user manual. Have to arrange for father christmas at Amazon to deliver the Mavericks version early next year. Also tried unsuccessfully to install the same Activity Monitor dock icon (was a pie chart in ML) but it’s not available in Mavericks ? The CPU activity graph on the desktop looks different too.

Re: Mac Mini losing network connection
All, Following up from this problem. After several weeks of this issue slowing getting worse, I seem to have resolved the problem by using Disk Warrior to build a new disk directory. I was able to start up the Mac Mini using the back up disk that Super Duper clones to each night, then run Disk Warrior from that. Quicker than using the Disk Warrior DVD to start up from. Graphing the disk revealed 30% of items out of place before and very close to zero out of place after. I ran it a few times and was never able to reduce it to zero out of place. Since doing this, my network connection problems have not faulted, so I am putting one and one together. Hopefully this is a tip for others with odd network problems as I had, listed below.

If you then type in the IP address of the MacPro and send say 10 pings to it, you should then see if it can see it Then type in the IP address of the Airport Express and see if you can Ping that. You can also see if you can ping the modem as well if wanted. You could also try swapping out Ethernet cables to check as well, …just incase.

Re: Mavericks
Hi Walter, The 'Pie Chart' is no longer an option, especially since Mavericks has new memory management routines (ie, memory compression) that make the charting of memory usage less straightforward. Apple has switched to a new Memory Pressure approach to viewing memory usage, which is available in the Memory section of Activity Monitor, but so far has not been added as a Dock icon option.

Re: Mavericks
Hi Walter, A Document I would recommend you download and read is the October 2013 - OS X Mavericks Core Technologies Overview PDF Go to this Link http://images.apple.com/media/us/osx/2013/docs/OSX_Mavericks_Core_Technology_Overview.pdf On Page 7: - especially read the sections explaining: Compressed Memory Power Efficiency OS X Mavericks virtual memory compression is a big win for anyone on the margins of not quite enough memory. Virtual memory compression means that real work gets done faster by idling CPU cores less often and for a shorter duration, often coming entirely for “free” by using CPU cores that are otherwise idle anyway. With virtual memory compression, there is no disk activity and the memory compression itself is extremely fast. Hence compressed virtual memory is a massive net win: while there is some CPU utilization for the compression but real work on all CPU cores gets back “on task” in far less time, rather than idling the CPU cores waiting for disk I/O to complete. Activity Monitor (in my opinion) is possibly the most improved utility in Mavericks. Activity Monitor now allows you to check energy usage through a dedicated tab. You can also get a glimpse by clicking the battery in your menubar. On top of that, you can visit the View menu to change Activity Monitor’s icon to CPU usage (and other) meters and run System Diagnostics. View system memory usage Click Memory to see the following: Physical Memory: The amount of RAM installed. Memory Used: The amount of RAM being used and not immediately available. Virtual Memory: The amount of disk or flash drive space being used as virtual memory. Swap Used: The space on your drive being used to swap unused files to and from RAM. App Memory: The amount of space being used by apps. Wired Memory: Memory that can’t be cached to disk, so it must stay in RAM. This memory can’t be borrowed by other apps. Compressed: The amount of memory in RAM that is compressed. File Cache: The space being used to temporarily store files that are not currently being used.

Thank you, Cheers, Walter On 11 Dec 2013, at 05:21 , Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Walter, The 'Pie Chart' is no longer an option, especially since Mavericks has new memory management routines (ie, memory compression) that make the charting of memory usage less straightforward. Apple has switched to a new Memory Pressure approach to viewing memory usage, which is available in the Memory section of Activity Monitor, but so far has not been added as a Dock icon option.

I can live with the CPU graph on the desktop, but what used to be the system memory icon in the dock (a pie chart that went mostly blue when recording long movies in EyeTV) is now a narrow line. I can’t see the option “Show memory usage” any more, which was available in the pull up menu in the dock.

The CPU activity graph on the desktop looks different too. View network activity in the Activity Monitor Dock Choose View Dock Icon Show Network Usage. Select the type of activity displayed in the graph In the Activity Monitor window, you can change the type of data displayed in the network activity graph. The type of data you select is shown in the graph in the Activity Monitor window and in Activity Monitor’s Dock icon. 1. Click Network at the top of the Activity Monitor window. 2. Click Packets or Data above the graph. Cheers, Ronni On 10 Dec 2013, at 8:30 pm, F.W. Hänel whae...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi Ronni, I have one D. Pogue missing manual for Leopard already and found it very good. Its much more than just a user manual. Have to arrange for father christmas at Amazon to deliver the Mavericks version early next year. Also tried unsuccessfully to install the same Activity Monitor dock icon (was a pie chart in ML) but it’s not available in Mavericks ? The CPU activity graph on the desktop looks different too. Thanks for your reply Ronni. Cheers, Walter On 10 Dec 2013, at 19:08 , Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Forgot to mention that you need to Pre-Order the book. OS X Mavericks: The missing Manual by Author David Pogue is not released until 31st December. I Pre-Ordered my copy quite some time ago.
