Hi Stephen, TechTool Pro v 7.0.1 works with Mavericks. If you are receiving the message that it has "not been tested for this OS" - apparently TTP 7.0.1 was tested in the final "Developer Release" of Mavericks!
TTP 7.0.1 application is programmed to give the message you received when it sees any operating system beyond Mountain Lion. They say they have been using this approach since TTP 5... It doesn't make much sense to me or a lot of others, so hopefully Micromat will change this in an update. TechTool Pro 6 should not be used with Mavericks, you need at least version 7.0.1 Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 25 Oct 2013, at 9:08 am, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: > > Looks like TechTool Pro 7 is not yet ready for Mavericks. > Clicked to open and got a message “not tested for this OS” or something > similar ! > >> On 24 Oct 2013, at 10:09 pm, Daniel Kerr <wa...@macwizardry.com.au> wrote: >> >> Apparently the DiskMakerX program has been updated to work with Mavericks >> now,…so that seems to be the "easier" way if you don't want to jump into >> Terminal. >> You can see more about it here as well - >> <http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mavericks-usb-install-drive/> >> >> And the direct link for DiskMaker X - <http://diskmakerx.com> >> >> All the normal "back up, take care, be careful, not responsible if it goes >> wrong,…etc etc",…warnings apply :o) >> >> I just used the Terminal command from the above site and it worked great, no >> problems at all.
