Title: Any OS X Mavericks issues crop up yet.
Post by: Ellis Vener on October 22, 2013, 11:06:06 pm
And 3rd party software, color management  or printer incompatibilites show up so far?

Hi Ellis,

I clicked "install" because I was excited about proper multi-monitor full screen support and then realized I'd likely run into compatibility problems. I've run all my commonly used third-part software at least once (Spyder4Pro software is fine). The only two "compatibility" issues I've had are with the Android emulator (parts of the emulated screen is upside-down -- possibly some display driver problems) and Mail.app (it's crashed on me a few times). CS6 is, surprisingly, fine.

I upgraded two point-steps (10.7 to 10.9) on a MacBook Air and three point steps (10.6 to 10.9) on a MacMini (not fully tested). Took 25 minutes on the Air and didn't time the MacMini.

I'll keep you posted if I run into any problems. I haven't tried working with any big files, but I haven't really noticed much of a performance or battery-life difference.

I ran Spectraview II with Mavericks to calibrate my NEC 27" this morning and it ran just fine.

I remember how Mountain Lion killed EOS Utility and the ability to shoot tethered to my 1DsIII. I'd like to hear if anyone has updated to Maverick's and how their connection is or is not working. I have a big week next week and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot.

Actually my i1Pro2 also ran fine with other applications, but didn't act as dongle - so i1Profiler was running in demo mode only.

1st problem after installing Mavericks.

I opened my Lightroom 5 catalog and every thing looked fine, I then closed Lr5.2 and got this double message as it tried to back up (see attached).
Tried to reopen the Catalog and got the dreaded Corrupt message. Tried to repair the catalog  but that was a no go as well. Now trying a  second rebuild.

I am not sure if this is a Lightroom 5 or a Lightroom 5 in Mavericks problem.

Now trying third rebuild.



Title: Re: Any OS X Mavericks issues crop up yet? Yes, Epson Scan is DOA
Post by: DennisWilliams on October 24, 2013, 01:08:16 am
Epson Scan (V600 Photo) is DOA with Mavericks. It has worked perfectly with both Lion and Mtn Lion. I am concluding  Epson  skipped the Developers' Conference last summer and Mavericks  is  a huge surprise based on my phone calls to Epson this AM.


Update As of 11.20.13 :  Epson has  a new two part Epson Scan Utility compatible with OS 10.9 available for download.

The latest version 1.1.16 of SpectraView II must be used on Mavericks. Earlier versions will crash due to a conflict with some of the color sensor libraries and some of the architecture changes in OS 10.9. Support for the Datacolor Sypder devices is disabled in SpectraView II 1.1.16 only on Mavericks, and this will be re-enabled in an upcoming update to address this issue.

Some users—myself included—are experiencing issues with multiple monitors following the upgrade to OS X 10.9.  From what I've been reading, these range from minor nuisances to serious irritations, depending on the types of video connectors and perhaps some other hardware characteristics.

My own problems fall within the former category: application windows that open on a display other than the one where I want them to be and subsequently fail to stick after a reboot.  But if you use more than a single monitor, you may want to check the latest published reports before committing to the 10.9 upgrade.  (I won't provide sample URLs here, since new ones keep appearing; a Google or Bing search should provide what you need to know.)

Just when I thought Apple had finally twigged that some people use more than one monitor and let the OS finally work properly with more than one screen, I discover a serious gotcha. You cannot stretch a window/programme across two monitors. Just tried to view a panorama someone had posted at full size and you can only see half of it at a time.
Doesn't seem to be a glitch as after some experimentation, it seems designed that way - by a moron.

This video shows the issue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi6AhogZCeg) and some others. A case of one step forward two steps back.

Tried it and it means I can indeed place a programme across two screens, but then it knackers the new multi-monitor support, so back to square one.
OSX still cannot handle multi-monitors as well as Windows could last century, which is utterly pathetic.

It seems that with Perl the solution is easy:

OS X has never done well with its pre-installed Python, so I offer the standard suggestion: download from the source http://www.python.org/download/
Alternatively, use one of many other free bundles. My favorite is Anaconda, for its comprehensiveness: http://continuum.io/downloads (It is free despite its commercial host).

Being an old technocrat in both large main frame computers(IBM) and PC's/Apple  I have never ever moved to a new version of an operating system until version 2 or 3 came out with all the initial fixes.

My art printing for clients and my other half depends on this machine, and it does the job.

So to test new software like Maverick I shove it on my other half's macbook to see how it works, with all the new software.

this time she objected, the machine is running hotter and hotter not responding well and it does not feel right…..

will go to backup for her tomorrow morning and wait for  additional memory and version 2…  then test it on her system again…

to all out there.  always make sure you have at least two working(each tested) backups on different drives before going to a new system.  time machine is only one backup …...not enough.

reply to request for macbook with hot and hotter and hotter   (remember as I said this is running a game but no action)

Macbook late 2009 unibody, 4gb,  later in a day or two 8gb.  model 6,1

it ran hot with lion but not as much or with the fan running and sounding like a jet engine….

the new graphics using more memory did not take effect still the same 256 or so that the nvidia 9400m uses...

Thanks elo.

Anyway, I can wait for 10.9.1 and see if that makes things better. OS 10.9 is meant to improve energy efficiency in general ... but in ways that are probably not so relevant to "constant activity" tasks like games.

More broken software: it also turns out that the Intel HAXM is broken in 10.9 -- explaining why my Android emulator has been running very slowly.

The biggest issues that I had were of the printing nature.

I had to update all drivers for my Canon iPF-5000
I did it via updates for the 10.8 for the iPF-5000 then the updates for the 10.9 update for iPF-5100.
Kind of odd but it did work in the end. 

Might be end of life (software wise) for this printer.  I just printed lots of prints for a recent show and they were great.

I am considering whether to upgrade to Mavericks and was wondering if anyone who using it might comment on any problems or benefits that they have experienced. For instance, will LR5 PSCC and other photo editing software that you may be using work with Mavericks? And, have you experienced any software that won't. For instance, I use Spectraview II with a NEC LCD 2690 and wondering if it would effect the calibration software, etc.

Yes but Mavericks does introduce a bug whereby the soft proof in the Print dialog is wrong. Not a big deal, soft proofing within Photoshop proper is correct, just ignore what you see in the Print dialog.

Built in SD card reader is not working with OS X Mavericks on my Macbook Pro 2.5GHz laptop though the system recognizes it and reads SD cards via a cheap external USB reader or direct from my camera... looking for a solution I can see many other Mac owners have encountered the same problem. Some advise the fix for this is (a) poking a toothpick into the slot to toggle a secret switch (b) compressed air (c) requires iphoto to be purchased from apple store and installed (d)... go figure?

Also, I was disappointed but not very surprised to find the old Epson Raw software that I use for black and white processing of raw files from my Epson RD1 refused to work with Mavericks as according to the explanation that popped up in a big box on my screen it is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X, so you can imagine how happy I got when I reloaded the program and much to my surprise it worked!

Fortunately, this is the type of bug Apple will definitely fix.  Unfortunately, the company (1) probably won't publicly acknowledge its existence prior to fixing it or (2) announce in advance the schedule for releasing a patch.

One of the most frustrating things about Apple is its pathological lack of communication with customers regarding software problems.  I can understand the obsession with secrecy regarding product plans, but refusing to acknowledge bugs is inexcusable (with the exception of a small subset involving security vulnerabilities for which an exploit is not yet in the wild: it makes sense to keep those secret).

Apple has behaved this way for years and it doesn't appear the new management has any intention of changing the policy.
