How about Not every old thing on your Mac is compatible with Mavericks.bayswater wrote:?? Sounds like something that would have come out of Redmond 10 years ago.mikehalloran wrote:Mavericks is rock solid. Not everything is compatible.
Except for Gmail and Mavericks 10.9.0, I can't think of a single thing that worked in 10.8.2 64bit but wasn't Mavericks compatible.
Those who went directly from 10.6.8 to 10.9 because it is free would certainly think that Mavericks is the issue. They didn't go through the upgrade pain that was 10.7 - 10.8.2.
Except for the crash hell and Trackpad issues I went through with Spin Dr and Bresink, I really liked 10.8.2 because it finally fixed all of the printing and scanning issues that hadn't worked right since 10.4. They were first broken in 10.5, made worse in 10.6, got really screwed up in various builds of 10.7 and stopped working completely in 10.8.1. Plus, it made Bonjour compatible with wireless scan and printing.
Quote from actual support call from tech logged into my system remotely - the scanning issue in OS 10.8.1: "All you have to do is ... oh ... I see ... you really can't save a scan... no, we no longer support the old way so that won't ... Yes, it isn't there on my screen either. Let me do this on my system ... nope, that button isn't even greyed out, just missing completely ... No, it's supposed to be there... You are the first person complaining that I know of... No, I can duplicate it ... yea, it needs to go to Engineering right away..."
