Can't argue with that!   :-)

My business requires me to stay close to the front edge of this stuff so I tend 
to update as soon as I can, but I must admit it also means that I stay at the 
front edge of the problems. Fortunately I have been fairly lucky in having been 
able to avoid most of them. 

Nevertheless, technology is changing at an extremely rapid rate these days, and 
Apple is often leading the charge. They are masters in the art of discarding 
the old in favour of the new, so it doesn't pay to stay too far behind.

Hi Blll, 

IN general my responses to the list are from an entirely personal point of 
view, with, as much as possible, little reference to outside sources (I just 
don't have the time for the research!) and make recommendations accordingly. 
I'm sorry you've had these issues with some aspects of Mavericks, but all I can 
say is that they are outside my experience. My main niggles with Mavericks have 
been related to certain small bits of software which were not sufficiently 
developed to deal with Retina displays, such as the Colour Picker. Most if not 
all of these have been addressed in Yosemite, so I for one am a happy chappie. 
Yosemite for me has been a further step forward.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for this info.
I am currently cleaning up my computer in readiness for an upgrade - and it 
looks like it will have to be Yosemite.

Regards

Marlene

Hi Bill,

1. Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R to boot into Recovery
2. Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
3. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
4. Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the 
“Repair” tab
5. Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot volume

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Bill,
I see your point but consider the positive aspect of Peter’s comments.
“some rough edges have been polished off”.

Perhaps your issues with Mavericks may be rectified by upgrading to Yosemite !
I am just guessing but I reckon that’s what I would do in your circumstances.

Re: Yosemite with chrome downloads

[Bill Parker]

Peter,

I have had my share of issues with Mavericks.   So when I see recommendations 
to go another change/upgrade I am ever more reluctant.  

I won’t go into details but Mail has a some random behaviours, I still get the 
occasional (random) warning about an improper removal of an external disk.  In 
the latter, no disk has been removed and nothing touches the USB in the side of 
the laptop.   Permissions repair takes sometimes an hour  etc etc.

So Yosemite?

Bill

Actually Marlene, if you intend going to Mavericks you might as weil go the 
"extra step" and install Yosemite, for the following reasons:

1. Apple have dropped Mavericks from the App Store, so if you haven't already 
downloaded a copy prior to the release of Yosemite you're going to find it a 
challenge finding a copy.

2. Apart from a handful of key improvements, the differences between Mavericks 
and Yosemite are largely cosmetic. Coming from Snow Leopard, your learning 
curve will be the same either way.

3. As nice as Mavericks was, it still had a few little rough edges that 
Yosemite has finally polished off. There will be no advantage to you trying to 
upgrade to Mavericks instead of Yosemite. 

You will have to make the move at some time. Now is the perfect time.

Re: Yosemite with chrome downloads

[Marlene Oostryck]

Hello David,

I too had a problem this week with bank transfers to a nominated account 
(RABO/Macquarie Bank) which I have been doing for many years.
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. The transfers would not go 
through using Safari.
I only use Safari - but tried using Firefox and the transfers went through 
easily.

So, as I prefer using Safari, I will be spending this weekend carefully going 
through the WAMUG posts to be dragged kicking and screaming to upgrade from my 
comfortable SL to Mavericks. Yosemite is a step too far!

Hope it all goes well for me.

Regards

Re: Yosemite with chrome downloads

[Ronni Brown]

Hi David,

The highest Safari level for 10.6.8 is the 5.1.10 that you are on.   
What it means is amongst other things they cannot be sure of the security 
aspect.
As apple are no longer supporting Snow Leopard.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi David.
I am intrigued to know why you use 3 different browsers ?

Re: Yosemite with chrome downloads

[David Noel]

Sorry not an answer for Rosemary, but allied problem. I use both
Safari and Chrome (also sometimes Firefox), but since about 2 weeks
ago, Safari has the heading "This version of Safari is no longer
supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser.".

I'm still on 10.6.8, which is probably why the message appears. Do I
just carry on using the unsupported Safari until it collapses, or is
there any way of updating it while still on 10.6.8?

Any reason "Why" you are using Chrome instead of Safari?

Either ‘Shift-Command-F’ or ‘Ctrl-Command-F’ should solve it if it was just 
that.  It is NOT that.  It's some sort of bug.
