HT201364 How easy is it to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? How long does it take and what benefits do you get, please?

How long does it take to upgrade to Mavericks and what benefits for the 10.6.8 user? Is a straightforward download? Thank you, Kevin
What application do I select to facilitate the download?

Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion.

MAVERICKS...
Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here  >  OWC RAM  >  http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
NOTE:
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.

  • How long does it take and how should I learn...

    Hi. First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
    I am new to web-design (as in brand-new xD) and wish to learn Dreamweaver.  With Dreamweaver being such a big application, with so many different tools etc I decided it would be best if I learned the languages I wish to use first, so as I know what Dreamwever is creating and I can 'fine-tune' my websites.
    The languages I wish to learn are:
    HTML
    PHP
    Javascript
    MySQL (I am aware that this isn't a 'language', but would still like to learn how it works and use it effectively)
    CSS
    My questions are:
    In which order should I learn these languages?
    Which version of each language should I learn? 
    For example should I learn HTML5, with it being relatively new and not widely supported, but with the support growing so fast would it be worth just learning HTML5 straight away?
    Can you reccomend any books etc for me to learn with?  I am a full time college student, so will be teaching myself after college hours.
    How long should I expect it to take to learn each language? (If you want to give the answer in days/months assume I will be spending 2hours per day average learning each language)
    I do not want to learn every single detail about each language, but I do want to learn to a high enouhg level that I am comfortable with reading, understanding and editing my own code.
    To help me understand your answers more clearly it would be great if you can just copy and paste this below (although feel free not to ):
    What order should I learn these in?
    Language:
    Version: 
    How long (roughly) should it take?: 
    What resources van you reccomend for me to learn from?: 
    What experience do you have? (I'm just nosey like that :P): 
    Other comments: 
    Please feel free to copy and paste the second half (with all the questions) as many times as you like for each language you choose to tell me about.
    Any help would be very greatly appreciated and please, if you for some reason find this post offensive, think back to when you were learning; everyone has to start somewhere.
    Thanks for your time,
    Ryan

    Hi there
    You will likely get better response by posting in the Dreamweaver forum.

    i have had to restore my ipad 2 how long does it take and its only two weeks old

    Depends on what method you chose to restore, wifi or itunes. Speed of internet and of computer. Whether you're restoring to factory settings or from a backup. There are many factors involved.
    Without knowing any other info, I would plan on anywhere from 30min. to 2hrs

  • I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

    I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

    As an update: I was able to find my archived boxes and emails on my hard drive by doing this:
    Open a Finder window.
    Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
    Type "~/Library/Mail/V2".
    Once I was able to get my macmail working properly, most of my mailboxes appeared, however not all and only a few recent emails are in a few of the boxes.
    I really need to move the emails from the archive back into my macmail. When I try to import using the mbox method, it doesn't recognize the .mbox even though they are .mbox. Other than re-emailing each individually to myself, I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to some easier solution?

  • "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"

    Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
    This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

    And for your tread question.
    How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?

    After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

    definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

    It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

  • How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
    I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
    Thanks.

    We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

  • How can I upgrade to Maverick from 10.6.8? I cannot seem to find it in the Apple Store.

    How can I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? I cannot find in in the Apple Store. Thanks.

    As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • How do I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8 on a MacPro?

    How do I upgrade to Mavericks from OS 10.6.8? I've downloaded the software, but it tells me I need to have OS X 10.7. I can find all kinds of updates to 10.7, but I can't find 10.7 anywhere.

    Not so hastily.
