OS X Mavericks :: Can't Install It Via USB Or Default Download

Sep 10, 2014

Decided to install Mavericks onto my 13' Macbook Pro, which is currently at Lion right now. First tried the default download and restart to run, but ran into the problem of it saying, when trying to install OS X, "There is not enough space on this disk". I was trying to install on Macintosh HD, which had 372 gigs free.. 

The other two options had the same message, being titled "OS X Install ESD" and "disk0s1". After tearing my hair out at how incredibly non-user friendly this was, I tried the USB method, following a guide to correctly put Mavericks on a 8gig USB. Same issue, though said to try and customize it, or something. a simple download and install method doesnt work for this sort of thing. Why would t be saying 370+ gigs is not enough to install?

OS X Mavericks :: Where To Find A Download Of Base 10.9 Install

Sep 6, 2014

Because of software compatibility limitations (see Avid Media Composer), I need to find a download of the base Mavericks install, so the first 10.9 install. Avid will only support up to 10.9.2, so I'd like to install 10.9 and then take it up to .2.I can find the 9.2 combo updates, but not the base install.

iMac 24 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Mac Pro :: Unable To Find A Way To Download Mavericks To Do Fresh Install

Dec 1, 2014

I have a MacPro 2009 with OS X 10.9.5 installed.  I just added a PCI-e card with a SSD on it. Can I install a fresh copy of OS X 10.9.5 on the SSD and use it as a boot drive too?  I plan on using my MacPro for audio production and the requirements are quite stringent to be able to provide good performance.  So, my hope is that I can boot to my existing HD while using Office, Safari, etc but when I want to use it for audio production be able to boot to the SSD and have nothing on it except my audio software (Cubase, Wavelab, & associated plug-ins) on the working system.  I also plan on upgrading to Yosemite for my "regular" HD boot drive but leaving Mavericks on the SSD for the time being as the audio production software is not yet compatible with Yosemite. 

I don't want to just move from my existing HD to the new SSD as I don't want all the associated software to be copied over as well. Just a clean install of Mavericks on the extra internal SSD. There is nothing on the SSD at this time. Only initialized. I believe I can use a keyboard short-cut on boot to tell which drive to boot from but I have not been able to find a way to download Mavericks to do a fresh install of it on the new SSD.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Get Default Theme Back

Sep 6, 2014

I installed one of available themes from deviantart. It was looking good on screenshots. But when I installed that, It was messed up my Mavericks Theme.

I uninstalled that theme. No i'm not having my older theme or default theme for mavericks. How can i have that. 

I read in the instructions in Theme the way to uninstall. There it was written to restore finder, preferencePans, Safari etc. But I didn't take any backup. 

How do I get preferencePans and finder etc.. ?

Can I reinstall Mac OSx - Mavericks?. Is there any option to just instal or over write and still I could get all of my files save?

Or is there any way I can download only these files if available online?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), Core 2 Due, 4GB

OS X Mavericks :: Calendar Default Setting - New Entries

Sep 11, 2014

When I add a new entry to my mac calendar it automatically sets 2 reminders, 30min before via notification and 30min before via mail. I don't want these settings, so every time I add a new entry I have to manually delete both reminders. That is really annoying if you create 20+ entries every day... 

I couldn't find any settings about new entries?

OS X Mavericks :: Changing Default Settings Of Preview Annotations

Aug 29, 2014

I would like to change the default text substitution settings for my annotations in Preview. Specifically, I want to disable smart quotation substitutions in my notes.

OS X Mavericks :: Setting Default Folder - Can't Get No Toolbar To Stick

Sep 4, 2014

I'd like to set up the Default Folder, the one you get when you open a new folder with Finder's New Folder (Shift-Cmd-N),  so the SideBar and, especially the ToolBar don't show up since I prefer the old fashioned behavior for folder windows. I can get No SideBar to stick but no matter what I do I can't get No ToolBar to stick.

OS X Mavericks :: Reset Causes Safari To Crash If Top Sites Is Default

Sep 7, 2014

If I reset Safari, it will often crash if TOP SITES is the first window Safari reopens with.

The crash may also be aggravated by my attempt to type something in the search bar, right after I reset.

I have now set Safari to open with a homepage, and now I can reset Safari at will and it no longer crashes after a reset.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Disable Adobe Reader As Default PDF Viewer

Jun 27, 2014

I have already set the default application to open PDFs to Preview by using the "Open with..." and "Change All" option. 

Now PDFs open in Preview, but I have a weird side effect:  when I create a PDF (from Microsoft Word, etc.) the document is created with an Adobe Reader ICON, it then quickly changes to a Preview ICON (and opens in Preview). 

PDFs are doing what I want, but the flash of Adobe Reader ICON (pun intended) is quite annoying.  I have searched through the Adobe Reader Preferences and can find nothing that seems related.

OS X Mavericks :: IMessage Reverts To Default Stock Image?

Jun 27, 2014

I initially set up my MacBrook Pro Retina (late 2013 - Mavericks) with one of the default images for my user account and the same for iMessage.

I've changed me user account avatar to the image I want OK, but I've tried just about everything to permanently change the iMessage avatar - it just keeps defaulting to the original image (an eagle). The image i'm using is saved locally. I've tried all different file formats, including .tif (the same format as the system default images)I've even added the image I want into the HDD>User Library>User Pictures>Animal (same place as the system default images). 

But, every time I change it, then restart iMessage - it's back to default. System reboot has the same effect, obviously.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Change Default User For App Store Updates

Jun 19, 2014

Purchased a Macbook Air, one generation back from current, for a new employee.  That person has now left the company, and I have re-issued the machine to a new hire.   

While the original employee's user account was deleted, and a new user account created for the person the machine was re-issued to, some updates (i.e.: iPhoto, iMovie) still require the original user's login credentials for the app store. 

How can I fully transfer this machine to the current user, and make their account the one that the app store requires for these updates ? 

The machine is running 10.9.3 .

OS X Mavericks :: Bing As Default Search Engine In Safari Preferences?

OS X Mavericks :: Mail 7.3 - Have Default Where All Attachments Are Icons And Not Viewable Docs

When I attach files to Mail 7.3 it often displays the entire file, not the icon. I find this highly annoying. Yes, I can one-by-one right click on the document and instruct Mac to send the file as in icon only. But I would prefer Mavericks Mail to default to a convention where attachments are (View as Icons) and not to display entire document...

OS X Mavericks :: How To Set Default Column Widths In List View When Using A Finder Window

Jun 20, 2014

The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'.  Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Couldn't find anything in preferences or view options. Tried dragging column headers while holding the down the option key with no results.   Every time I open a new finder window, all columns except the 'document' column affixed to the right side of the window. Also, when you grab the bottom right corner of a window to resize smaller, the lists become re-affixed to the right side of the window when opening the window back up.  Experiencing the same problem in Mavericks 10.9.3 on an iMac and Macbook Pro Retina.
