Wow that really blows... luckily I run my Mac server as a VM. I made a snapshot before the upgrade to Mavericks and Mavicks server. Took me no time at all to revert to 10.8.x

Still very disappointing... Hopefully they'll just update the damn server app.

completely agree. it was supposed to be fixed with this update :(

Some have had success with reverting to the ML racoon file. i have not tried this :(

Seriously...the vpn issue in server is still not fixed...!!!

Build 13B35 (the second 10.9.1 beta release) already included VPN fixes. The fixes should be included in the final release, even though they are not mentioned in the release notes.

Did you try the update? Are the issues still present?

edit: Sorry, you already mentioned in another post you installed it, and it doesn't work...

This update didn't fix my biggest annoyance: Mail still asks for my iCloud password every day.

Guess I'll go back to using Sparrow then. :rolleyes:

To stop that from happening go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the Advanced Tab and change the Authentication drop down to "Apple Token". Worked for me.

It rebooted for me but didn't ask for the password to login. Weird.

Maybe the UI just went down and back up. Kinda like a logout, but a little more involved. But no actual reboot. It couldn't have rebooted for me because I didn't get the FV2 password prompt. Unless it somehow "saved" the password for the next reboot. That would be a huge security hole.

I think we all know what those "system specific enhancements" would be..


Lets just hope Apple's actually FIXED Gmail this time.... cos usually a few times running with tries, this has be bad. But we can only hope..

No beach ball so far... but i won't jinx anything..

OS X Server (Mavericks): Clients cannot connect to VPN service using L2TP
Symptoms

With OS X Server (Mavericks), the VPN service may no longer accept L2TP connections. This can happen if the client and server are behind different network address translation (>NAT) gateways.

Resolution

You can configure and use PPTP instead. Please note that PPTP requires Directory accounts.

Seriously... Problem can't securely connect to my server... Apple's solution well connect using a non-secure method.....

Can't install this on my late 2012 imac. Worked fine on my new 13" retina MBP.

I get stuck on a gray screen with a menu bar for SoftwareUpdateLauncher. Tried both App Store and downloaded dmg versions. Both hang in the same place. Only way out is to hold down the power button.

Anyone got any suggestions on this?

Mine froze on the install after restart... I had to force my computer to shut down. Dumb.

Next: please fix exchange integration. It works perfectly under iOS, but it's generally awful under OSX. I can't even send mail (stacks up in the outbox, error message after 15min).

...how about things like "Quick Look" being quick? and how about quick look not being a very quick way to find out which file formats the Finder can no longer read.


Just tried 8-9 different file types sitting on my desktop, other than a very large (15,000 line) plist file, they all opened almost instantly in quicklook on 10.9.1 using a 2010 MacBook Pro. Other than that large plist, a fairly large excel spreadsheet took make 2-3 seconds to open the first time, very fast after that.

Maybe you have old, incompatible ql plugins installed? Not sure. I don't recall one way or the other if quicklook was fast on this computer or not in 10.9.0

Well it has been stuck at installing software update for less than 1 minute for about 10 minutes now.....

I had the same issue. Just force the computer to shut down and try again. Dumb.

wow.. allot of probelems..

Apple REALLY done it now :p

Regarding L2TP in Server (Mavericks), you can always try replacing /usr/sbin/racooon with the version from Mountain Lion. Screen sharing may no longer work until rebooted.

One thing I'd like to see is with any updates or installs in the App Store for them to clearly display the size before you start the DL. I know most people have lots of data per month but that aside its nice to know if an update is going to take a few minutes to do or a couple of hours.

quicklook still slow. Icons not previewing in when viewed by list. Mail is fine though, so that's good. Just wish I could get quicklook working.
