Re: Mavericks - Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation
Hi Ronni, Do you now if these problems apply to Gmail POP accounts as well? I had some problems a long time ago with Gmail IMAP access and reverting to POP access cured it so I never bothered with IMAP again. BTW, I have not yet updated to Mavericks.

Re: Mavericks - Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation
Hi Paul, First: If you have to rely on Gmail, my suggestion is don't upgrade to Mavericks just yet... wait until OS X 10.9.1 which should be available in the next few weeks... And hopefully Apple will fix these issues. I take it you have read the TidBITS article I linked to in my first email. This extract below is taken from Macworld, I don't have the link handy sorry but a google search will find it and more about the Gmail issues. Gmail issues Not all of the changes to Mail in Mavericks are entirely positive, particularly if one or more of your email accounts is a Gmail account. Mail and Gmail have never played particularly well together, in large part because Mail treats Gmail as an IMAP account, and the way Gmail implements IMAP is pretty poor. But in Mavericks, the situation is quite a bit worse. The gist of the situation is that because of changes in how Mail handles Gmail accounts, you may find that the first time you launch Mail under Mavericks, Mail re-downloads all your Gmail messages, which could take a very, very long time if you have a lot of archived email. In addition, sometimes Mail simply doesn’t show messages that the Gmail website and other email apps (such as Mail on your iOS device) do show. And if you use AppleScripts to process email messages in Mail, there’s a good chance those scripts won’t work on your Gmail accounts in Mavericks. Joe in the TidBITS article explains a number of other issues relating to Mail’s Gmail changes, and provides some suggestions for dealing with Gmail accounts. There is conversations going on here: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1595159.html Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 24 Oct 2013, at 2:03 pm, Paul Willemse p...@thelink.to wrote: Hi Ronni, Do you now if these problems apply to Gmail POP accounts as well?

Hi Stephen You can check the details the following way,.. Computer Name can be found from Apple menu - System Preferences - Sharing. It will then show Computer Name. To see the Model Identifier. Go to Apple menu - About this Mac. Click on More Info... (or System Profiler…. for older OSes). Then click System Report… Under Hardware Overview, on the right hand side it will show Model Identifier and be something like iMacx,x for the iMac range (e.g. iMac13,1) Hope that helps.

Re: Apple Event roundup/ Mavericks
Hi Stephen, TechTool Pro v 7.0.1 works with Mavericks. If you are receiving the message that it has not been tested for this OS - apparently TTP 7.0.1 was tested in the final Developer Release of Mavericks! TTP 7.0.1 application is programmed to give the message you received when it sees any operating system beyond Mountain Lion. They say they have been using this approach since TTP 5... It doesn't make much sense to me or a lot of others, so hopefully Micromat will change this in an update.

The easiest is Using Mavericks’ new bootable-drive-creation feature Hidden inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program called createinstallmedia provided by Apple to create a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program assumes your account has administrator privileges. Note: if you leave the Mavericks installer in its default location in the Applications folder when you install OS X 10.9, the installer will be deleted automatically after the installation finishes. So if you plan to use that installer on other Macs, or—in this case—to create a bootable drive, be sure to copy the installer to another drive, or at least move it out of the Applications folder, before you install. If you don't, you'll have to re-download the installer from the Mac App Store before you can create a bootable install drive. You need a drive (a hard drive, SSD, thumb drive, or USB stick) that’s big enough to hold the installer and all its data—at least an 8GB flash drive. That drive must also be formatted with a GUID Partition Table.

You will have to make sure that the Mavericks installer is in your Main Applications folder. The Terminal command assumes the installer is in its default location.

Hi again Stephen, I meant to add that I would NOT run TTP 7.0.1 in Mavericks until Micromat release an Update. There are people experiencing crashes during a Surface Scan.
