OS X Mavericks - GM seed now available (active Mac developer accounts only)

Currently Final Cut Pro X is dog slow for sharing/exporting work. Activity monitor keeps reporting the ProTranscoder Tool as not responding as well. Not good.

Taking me 2 hours to export a 20 minute file from ProRess 422 to .Mov, never mind the hours of transcoding and rendering.

Let me guess, it worked OK on 10.8?

I would suggest you jumped ship too early if your doing mission critical work...

Works like a dream on 10.8.5, It's all good though, I have 10.9 on a PCIe SSD, and my HDD with 10.8.5 is still in my system. I just boot to that now for work.

I sent in a report to Apple, but no word back.
I'm pretty sure now they're doing what they did with FCPX when it originally launched, having parts of the new OS baked into it at first to take advantage of the new OS.

They might be doing that with the new FCPX they announced, and with Mavericks.

I noticed Skype is also problematic on 10.9, it uses about 10-20% CPU, and if you're in a call with over 4 people the interface essentially freezes and beachballs, you can't interact with it, but the call is A-Okay.

I expect a myriad updates and patches from developers when 10.9 eventually launches.
 
Heads up forumites, looks like Apple have silently updated the GM prior to public release....

Dev portal's still showing the same version, but downloading from App Store again pulls the new build down. There's a bit more info in the linked thread (and links onward from there to Apple dev forums), but to be honest there doesn't seem to be that much meat on the bones of what the changes are.

I'll be downloading tomorrow to rebuild my USB installer, but there don't appear to be any reported show stoppers.

CHEEKY ADDITION:

Apple's documentation in general for Mavericks has been woeful so far. It's really hard as a developer to figure out precisely what they've changed. :(

Not wrong at all there!

I'm still getting the 1004 error trying to download GM1 > GM2.... thoroughly cleaned and eradicated the GM1 installer, so not sure what's going on. Everything's working for me so far on GM1 though, so I'm not too bothered really.
 
No option to do a clean install? That's rather annoying, now I'll have to let the upgrade finish, format and install it again.

Thanks for wasting 2 hours of my life apple!

Can we get the thread title changed to general Mavericks chat?

To contribute: Flash being disabled by default in Safari is the greatest thing ever. Hopefully this will cause enough people to ignore Flash adverts and sites to look hideous enough that they shift over to HTML5 sooner rather than later.
 
Yeah mine did that for a while. Then when it first booted it stuck on the Apple logo for 20 minutes. I buttoned it and turned it back on and it came up fine.

I'd rather not have to do all that just to do a fresh install of my OS. No doubt when I wipe and reinstall it's going to re-download it all again...
 
What are you talking about? It's one line pasted into the Terminal and it builds you the install media.

You don't even need to install a fresh copy, just run the upgrade and it will work perfectly.
