Hi Courtney. That’s a personal preference to update or not so you’d have to decide that for yourself. Personally, there are some bugs in Mavericks but they’re only tiny ones so it’s not a show stopper for me. But like I said, it’s a matter of personal preference and if you find any bugs, don’t h

Hello: I, too, have just updated to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I can confirm this bug. I just tried to pair my BlueTooth Apple keyboard and was told the passcode was 12345678 by VoiceOver, whereas, a different passcode was actually displayed on the screen. Thanks! On 10/25/13, Ray Foret Jr wrote:

I’d largely agree: But, I found one really nasty bug when it comes to pairing a bluetooth keyboard with the Mac under 10.9. Instead of the actual password asked for by the pairing dialog, Voice Over always reads: 12345678 So, if you often pair bluetooth keyboards to your Mac, I’d stay with 10.

I am a little bit confused… Not to be pedantic, but Mavericks is indeed a new operating system. It is not an incremental update, such as going from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5; rather, it has a new major version number – 10.8 to 10.9. The fact that it is free as a marketing choice. In the past, major updat
