Mavricks Upgrades Are Availible NOW And It's Free

Will there be a separate update to update the GM v1 to this public release or will I have to install the public release over the top?
 
Nice surprise to see it as a free update. I think it's a bit of a gamble though, my 2007 Macbook Pro isn't exactly coping well with Mountain Lion :/

yep it sucks, I travel to Europe each winter (southern hemisphere) for the summer and get the goodness of fibre internet. I return to caveman internet and the depression sets in haha. Plus I am paying three times the amount for 1.5mbit connection with a 200gb data cap.

I do prefer to live in Australia for all the other reasons though lol
 
NICE! I'm already running the GM but it's great that Apple threw a freebie to everyone. I'm downloading it to Archive and make my USB/DVD installer back-up media with.

I am 99% sure you will have to actually upgrade to the public release to get software updates. Since there was that minor update a couple of days ago
 
is there no progress bar when downloading it? just says 'downloading' on the app store with no sign of when it'll finish.

Oh wow it really has made a difference. I've semi-retired this laptop anyway in favour of a desktop, but the speed difference is noticeable.

Still time to retire it in favour of a 13" MBA/rMBP but still- nice.

Copy to USB, how please?
I downloaded Mavericks and I then got a window asking me whether I wanted to install it. No option to make USB offered.
No apparent iso dmg or other file in Finder 😱
Did I miss something?
Thanks.
 
Anybody experiencing issues where you click on Free Upgrade-> Install App, and nothing happens? It's not added to my Purchases either.

Can anyone confirm if you install Mavericks over Mountain Lion, does it update your iTunes? I want to keep version 11.0.5 instead of going to 11.1.1 because i hear that version is having issues right now and i still want to be able to downgrade my iDevices too(read that 11.1.1 prevents you from doing that).
 
Going to take me 3 hours + to download this. Love BT.
