But the iLife apps are downloaded separately and aren't bundled with the OS. You can delete and redownload them from the App Store if things go wrong.

When I started using my iMac in 2004, iPhoto was the sole responsibility of changing my photography skills. It stopped me from leaving photos onto memory cards and sharing them with my family. Fast forward to today I am now a full time photographer shooting over 250,000 images a year - all edited in Aperture. I would strongly disagree with your statement and wholeheartedly recommend iPhoto to everyone as a great way to improve your skills and get to enjoy photography!
I have a question.
Is now ibooks the way to sync books with iOS? I mean, no more epubs & PDF section on iTunes?

Are books cut out of iTunes
Now with ibooks on Mavericks has the new iTunes stopped handling books for storing and synching books including PDF's.
I hope so, iTunes has become too bloated. Hopefully ibooks will synch through iCloud

Thanks for the info, good to know. I guess synchronizing ebooks with iPhone/iPad still does work with iTunes, though, similar to photos...
That's flat out ridiculous. I've never heard of anyone having to reinstall the whole OS because of mail, iPhoto, or iMovie. And those apps aren't integrated into the OS in a way that the whole system depends on them, they work just like any third party app. iPhoto and iMovie aren't even included with the OS, you get them if you buy a new system but anyone else has to buy them and install.
Messages won't open with Mavericks preview 5
Ever since I upgraded to the latest Mavericks preview, my Messages app won't load. It either opens and doesn't display anything -- and when I go to Windows -> Messages, the app crashes.
Or I get stuck on this screen (image attached).
What to do???

that iBook app a chance. Also a try for this iPhoto beta. Currently I like the tabbed Finder and the new Maps app. Safari I really dont care.....
I don't get the Safari hate. What's wrong with it? It's a very stable browser with a lot of great features and it's tailored to work with the Mac a lot more than any other 3rd party browser.
Spotlight never worked on my Mavericks *install until now, glad it is fixed.
I still do have some other problems, remote desktop from an old powerbook to control my MacMini on Mavericks has some issues, mostly graphic issues and many times login/out won't refresh the screen, have to close the remote connection and open it again.
Slow startups and shutdowns.
*Not a clean install, upgrade from 10.8.4

This is absolutely ridiculous, period. So we should have to open iBooks just to read a PDF? Are you kidding? Preview works very well just as it is and it's not even bloated and it even has decent editing capabilities. I like the fact that PDF's can be stored and read from iBooks but I'll be damned if I have to open up a whole window just to read work PDF's. Thank goodness you're not on Apple's design team, I'd switch back to Windows.
To be fair it just arrived yesterday. It's very possible they will include the animation in the GM. I hope they do.
Exactly. iBooks is great for using up those $100 gift cards you get with the back-to-school specials. Kindle is generally cheaper when you don't have one.
So far I think Kindle is better on the Mac. I can use as much or as little of the screen as I want. iBooks only uses about ⅓ of the width on a TB display, even when running full-screen.
Excellent question, never thought of it. Since iLife comes free with Mac's (it still does, right?), I'm sure iPhoto will become standard issue with all the new/improved photo streaming and sharing.
Probably not.
IIRC they have previously released beta versions of iPhoto in order to test new OS features. e.g. Photo Stream.
Good question. I just clicked on "iBooks" in "iTunes" and it stated iBooks is now being handled by iBooks, then quickly vanished from the iTunes sidebar. Syncing will most likely be handled via iTunes, but iBooks used/read through the app, much like iPhoto.
----------
iPhoto came/comes free with new Mac's, now that they're pushing more iPhoto sharing and streaming as a free service with iCloud accounts, I'm pretty confident in speculating it will be a free update with OS X Mavericks.
POP was fine before we HAD multiple devices to sync to. I used it with Gmail flawlessly for about 5 years. But the second you start accessing your account from more than one place, you're sifting through duplicate mail.
