All You Need To Know To Master Mac OS Mavericks

DENVER - Dec. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Mavericks will run on Apple computers from 2009 and later, although it been known to work on Macs from as far back as 2007. Mavericks requires at least two GBs of RAM. The installation of Mavericks on a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or iMac may take 2-3 hours.

If the upgrade to Mavericks is taking longer than 3 hours and you quit the process you may need to reinstall from the Mac's recovery partition. You will have to boot your computer while pressing and holding the Command and R keys after your hear the boot-up sound notification. Once you have OS X up and running again, give the Mavericks install another shot.

One important thing to watch out for is if you have an external storage drive such as a drive from Western Digital or LaCie, and you have configured it using the software and drivers that came with the drive or which you downloaded from the manufacturer. Then beware that this software may not be compatible with all the OS X upgrades and could result in the inability to read the data you have on the external drive after you upgrade to Mavericks.  You may need to upgrade that software for the drive, you can usually find this on the manufacturer’s website.  It is also possible that you may need to downgrade your operating system back down to Mountain Lion.
