Which version of version of virtualbox should I be running to upgrade OSX Mavericks from 10.9 to 10.9.1?

In the upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 to 10.9.1, it says if you have system software modifications, the upgrade may fail. I'm using VirtualBox 4.3.2. 4.3.4 is available. VirtualBox said it did have system modifications when installed--some drivers I think. I am used to SnowLeopard (no prompt there).
I have Time Machine. Should I try to restore my system back to before when VirtualBox was installed? Can I disable VirtualBox's system modifications to install Mavericks 10.9.1? Just wondering which order I should install these two pieces of software in. I'm not saying that anything failed yet. I just don't want to be faced with a non-working system. I had enough of that with Dell/Alienware. I am fairly sure that VirtualBox didn't get copied over when I got my mac mini to replace SL on Intel Core Duo (32-bit) iMac.

Instead, upgrade VirtualBox to the most recent version, and then install OS X 10.9.1.
All virtual machine apps use kernel drivers that may cause issues with OS X. If you still get that message after updating to the latest VirtualBox version, uninstall it > http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html#idp53416960
You do not need to restore your Mac to a previous status when VirtualBox was not there

The AppStore version of ClamXav does not have a real-time scanning capability, if you think you need that. You can download the full version from here, which is also free.
If you are asking if Sophos is free, the one downloaded from here is.
SInce you seem to be asking everybody, I don't recommend any particular one over the other. I have both installed on this computer along with VirusBarrier X5 and MacScan. I don't currently use any of them routinely, but they are here if I should ever need them. Real-time scanning is turned off, but I keep all but VB up-to-date (my VB subscription expired a few years ago).
Full disclosure: I do uncompensated tech support for the ClamXav Forum.

Need advice on whether or not I should upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard

I have 2 gig of ram, a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor but I have read that you should have 4 gig of ram for Mavericks. I like to listen to itunes radio which I cannot do in Snow Leopard so I have decided to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks, however, if it's just going to be sluggish and problematic. Would upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion be a better option given the specs on my macbook pro?
Thanks.

Sure. Thanks. It's only about 4 years old.

I have a 4yo MacBook Pro, that has a super-old version of Microsoft Word ('04?) on it. I upgraded to Mavericks. Now Word PowerPC apps are no longer supported. How do I change my default opener to Pages?

You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.
EDIT: A quick Google search found this link which may help you.

Can you upgrade to mavericks from older versions besides Mountain Lion?

Previously, since they were paid, you had to pay your way up to the second-most recent one to upgrade to the most recent one.
However, since Mavericks is free, are you allowed to go from say 10.6 to 10.9, skipping the fee for 10.8 and 10.7?
EDIT: I now know you can jump from 10.7 to 10.9. Can you jump from 10.6 to 10.9?

I know this might be a stupid question but would I have my data removed after upgrading my iMac (2012) to OSX Mavericks from my current version? (OSX mountain lion)

I do not have any CD ROM or hard disk for saving my data in my mac. Would it be safe for me to directly upgrade to osx Mavericks? Sorry for my poor english btw

You are an accident waiting to happen!!!!! Backing up data
is extremely important as anything may happen at any time.
Relying on a single electronic copy of your data is not a good
idea at all!!
Now of course, if all your data on your computer has absolutely
no meaning to you, then there is no need to backup.

Should I upgrade to Mavericks from OS X Lion (on iMac Intel late 2009)?

I've been using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 on my iMac (late 2009) for a long time and have no complaint about it — and I wonder if I'm missing something in not upgrading to the newest OS. But will upgrading at this point create problems where currently I see none? Advice, please. Thanks.

And, here is a different view on Yosemite: I don't care for the changes in the user interface and I don't care about icloud integration; nor do I like the fact that some of my apps (iMovie, iDVD, etc) no longer work in Yosemite - I won't use the latest iMovie as it has lost many of its capabilities in editing and export quality options. So, although I am running Yosemite on my MBP, my iMac will remain with Mavericks so I can use the apps I want to use.
FWIW, you won't be able to get Mavericks unless you've purchased/downloaded it previously - Apple pulled it when they introduced Yosemite.

I am just going back to using my iMac. Had to upgrade to snow leopard and not want to upgrade to OSX Mavericks. I can't get the install because it is currently at 10.9.1. Where can I find the 10.9 version so I can upgrade "pre-patch"?

I am trying to install (upgrade to) Mavericks from Snow Leopard (10.6.8). However, the current version of Mavericks is 10.9.1. I'm being told that I can't do this upgrade without 10.9. Any ideas as to where I can find the straight 10.9 (pre-patch) version of Mavericks?

The version on the App Store for Mavericks is 10.9.1 and it's the full installer.
The only time you would need 10.9 is if you were installing the delta download of 10.9.1 from Apple's Software Update Support page.
So, just go to the App Store and you will be able to download/install Mavericks 10.9.1 without the need of 10.9.

Can you:
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.

     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Should you upgrade is your decision. If you don't need the advanced features of Mavericks, then there is no reason to upgrade. If you don't use applications that require Mavericks to upgrade, then you don't need to upgrade.
Note that beyond Snow Leopard you won't be able to run PPC-only applications such as Office 2004.

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

MK.None. You don't need a reference manual yet; you need a book that actually teaches you something. So explain why you are learning Java at this point in your career and perhaps a more fitting book can be recommended to you.

W2k8 is 32-bit,which oracle 10g version should be installed?

Hi everyone,
I am a new DBA. Now I will install Oracle 10g on w2k8. I found w2k8 is 32-bit system, i am wandering which oracle 10g version I should install?
Thanks!

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
Note that Windows 2008 explicitly is listed against 11.1.0.7
Therefore, you can assume that 11.1.0.7 is the first that definitely supports W2008.
And you can assume that anything older than that line is definitely not supported.
And if it is not supported (as is the case for 10g), you can assume that you will run into some kind of problem either during installation or (worse) at some unknown time later.
You can probably find some workaround to make it appear to work. Which is fine ... it's your job. (At least until it stops working.)

If your Mac meets the specs you can order it from here. You will receive a 'redem code' that should allow you to download it:

I need to upgrade but don't know which version I have to get. Do I have to go through each lower version or can I go straight to 10.8 then get free MAverick upgrade? I live FAR from Apple store, so download upgrade is preferred. :)

Need a newer version of Os to run printer and software. Confused if I need to get which version to be able to upgrade to MAverick for free. Also, need something I can download since Apple store is far away.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:
