Make sure to not install this on your main machine, especially if you have anything of importance on it.
This is still a beta and should be treated as such. I know I had major issues with the last OSX beta I put on mine.
- k-mcgrady 12y ago>> "I know I had major issues with the last OSX beta I put on mine." I've usually heard the betas of OSX have been quite stable. Considering they are going to run a public beta of this I would assume it's more stable than usual OS betas they released. I was considering installing it on my main system (I only have one Mac) but you've put me off a bit. What happened to your system?
- gnufied 12y agoEarlier betas of Mavericks were damn unstable/unusable. Apps crashing all over the place, third party apps not working because of changed APIs etc. I had to revert as well (not this beta though).
- jayfehr 12y agoTry it in a VM first. Most things will be fine, however if it were production ready it wouldn't be marked beta. Something that you need may be disabled or in flux leaving you hanging.
- strobe 12y agowhich of current VMs application able to run OSX on mac hardware?
- selectout 12y agouser gnufied put it best, they changed a bunch of APIs and a lot of my programs were left unworking or crashing much more than usual. With that said, I know that Mavericks was a unique use case, but still might be a good idea to wait for a few reviews.
