They didn't. It's a glitch on some computers
I've just done a clean install. everything went fine

Count me among those with a hidden user folder. Through the shortcuts in the side bar I can still access it, but starting from the root directory the users folder is invisible. No clue as to what has caused this.
 
+1 for the Users folder disappearing. Doesn't affect me at all, from usage but defiantly an odd bug.

Nope, it's the problem that Macbook can't reconnect to wifi after waken up from sleep and people with the issue have to turn wifi off and on to reconnect. I have this issue on my late 2013 MBPr.

This has been discussed previously. It's actually a pretty old problem. There appears to be some interference between the Bluetooth and WiFi chips both using 2.4 GHz, which only happens when you're on any of the 802.11 protocols other than 802.11a or 802.11ac (both use 5 GHz).

There are two possible solutions:

1) Turn off Bluetooth.

2) Get an 802.11ac router (such as the latest Airport Extremes or Time Capsules)

Assuming you need BT for something, #2 is the only realistic option.

The Internet connection stops working erratically even though it's still connected. There are threads about this on Apples support forums and no one has any idea how to fix it. Same issue on my Air and Retina both after updating to Mavericks. Well my Retina came with Mavericks.

Edit: still happening on 10.9.3. Great.

See my post above. Give it a try and see if it fixes it.

have they finally fixed finder's inability to use trackpad gestures yet? In previous versions of os x, you could swipe left/right to go forwards/backwards in a window, but in mavericks it stopped working, which is incredibly ****ing retarded.

my /Users folder was hidden. Changed the flags so it's visible again but Tunnelblick still throws this error (repairing permissions and restarting didn't help so far)

Just reinstall your VPN connection in Tunnelblick. That will fix it!

The best way Apple could fix Mail.app is to kill it. Desktop mail clients are an impediment to the cloud. Webmail clients like Gmail.com and Outlook.com are the future. Killing Mail.app would be a good shove in the right direction.

What you say here might be true for you.....but there are many people worldwide who do NOT have permanent internet connections available and thus they benefit greatly from offline mail clients.

Please do not project your needs on the rest of humanity.
 
AirPlay icons

Those AirPlay icons seem new, I don't remember them being there before.

I have three iMacs. One brand new that I bought with Mavericks. Two that have been upgraded to Mavericks. One had a clean install. The third did not.

Mail doesn't work properly on any of them. We've been using Airmail.app since Mavericks came out because Apple has been a complete failure for us when it comes to mail. It's really frustrating because I run my entire company on email and text messages.

When I delete a message on my iPad at lunch, it's still there on my iMac when I get home. It will usually stay there until I restart. Mail works perfectly on my iPads/iPhones.

Another thing that bothers me, my iPhone will ding, my iPad will ding, Airmail.app will ding with a new email. Mail on the Mac. Nothing. The messages show up randomly when they're ready. Not when people send them.

Obviously Apple knows this is still happening to many of us. I assume they'll fix it with the next operating system they announce at WWDC. But after never having a problem with a Mac, I've had this one since day one with Mavericks.

Weird that you have all those problems even on the clean install computer. The only one of those problems I have is that for some Months, since even before Mavericks the audible new message alert is delayed relative to the actual email arriving. Tried different sounds, switching it on and off but no improvement

As tomoerel said, don't assume that your needs reflect those of everyone else. I travel a lot, so I frequently do not have good, or any, internet access for different lengths of time. So I need a Desktop client to have my stored emails available as and when I need them, plus to write replies ready for when I have a connection. Same goes for Documents only in the Cloud, good for some, not for everyone.
 
Nice to see iTunes local sync restored (its removal was crazy) but I'd also like to see the restoration of SyncServices so I can use iSync again - without it I'm having to stick with 10.8.5 as with 10.9.x there is no way to sync with non-Apple phones...
 
Firewall still not working correctly

First thing I tried bombed right away!! :(

The firewall still asks me on EVERY start of jBidwatcher if I want to allow it to accept incoming connections!! Why is that? It's listed in the firewalls list and set to "allow".
 
I can't see Apple supporting 4k over HDMI at 60Hz. UHDTV1 is 4k at 100/120 Hz plus rec2020, 10bit, and more. Currently no consumer UHDTV screens on the market, some capable pro screens but they are expensive an 4:3!

Apple don't even do 10bit over Display Port yet! :confused::mad:
 
my advice to late 2012 21.5" imac users:
500 mb update is just waste of time and 500mb. nothing new, no any improvements.

Anyone want to test their 7950 graphic card (Not Mac flashed) to see if it fixes that mini-displayport restart bug? ^_^

What bug do you mean? i have the Sapphire 7950 Mac Edition and I am not sure of the bug you mean. Unless you are talking about when it switches which display the logo is one at boot sometimes...?

Mac Pro 2012 12-Core 2.4GHz, 32GB RAM, AMD Sapphire 7950 Mac Edition

Mine is HDMI 2.0. LG 65UB9800. And why can't you see Apple supporting HDMI 2.0, that is 4k@60hz?
 
Wow!My mac (17inch macbook pro, mid 2010) is so much more responsible now.Even some graphics delays are fixed now!
Thank you very much apple!
 
My Mac Pro early 2008 feels AMAZING. So amazing she told me!
