Also, it is possible to create a bootable install. It’s just not easy to do. once it’s downloaded, you have to manipulate the disc image that’s in the apps folder or it will “disappear” once it’s installed. I had two download errors before the third time became a charm. Teresa We're made of

Hi guys. I kinda figured out why Mavericks was free and that I can’t re-download it to make a bootable version. I just got off the phone with a gentleman of Apple and he stated to me that Mavericks isn’t an OS, but an update. He’s gonna send an article about it to me through email and when he

I am a little bit confused… Not to be pedantic, but Mavericks is indeed a new operating system. It is not an incremental update, such as going from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5; rather, it has a new major version number – 10.8 to 10.9. The fact that it is free as a marketing choice. In the past, major

Try and download the new version of disk maker, called DiskMaker X. It'll actually prompt you to download the new version of OSX, and it will help create the boot disk, if that's what you want to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries
