OS X Mavericks | Tutorial & FAQ
You can update your laptop to Mavericks on the App Store, but here's a few tips to have a 'safe install. NOTE: Before you install be sure to BACK UP your storage to prevent possible loss of files.
1. App Store > Updates > Install Mavericks OS
Your laptop will restart to download update.
SIDE NOTE: You should have at least 8 GB of free space for major updates. 15 GB is recommended.
If you find yourself with low storage space:
(top left corner of screen) > About this Mac > More Info... > Storage (top bar)
This tells you what your storage consists of to let you decide on any unwanted items you want to delete.
2. After installing Mavericks, it is important that you update all your applications to make sure everything is compatible with the new software.
FAQ
What is different?
Mavericks has some changes from Mountain Lion. The biggest difference is the Finder tabs.
 |
| Introducing the new Finder |
There are now tabs at the top to add your important folders . Mavericks allows you to add colored tags like 'Important' to simplify your searches. With Mavericks, your Macs can now have iBooks and Maps which used be available only on the iPhone and iPod. There are also improved multidisplay support and an all new version of Safari.
Mavericks not only has all these features, it is also more power efficient and better responsiveness.
What about Safari?
 |
| The new Safari |
Yes and no. While it maintains the look of the previous Mountain Lion, a few apps such as iCal has been changed to give a more simplified look. Some features of the frequently used Pages, Keynote and Numbers have been moved around and given a slightly flat look.

| iCal has been given "the iOS 7 look". |
About an hour with good Internet connection.
Do I have to make an Apple ID of my own to download the update? How do I do this?

Will I lose anything?

How do I get my old applications back if I update my apps?

Can I downgrade after I upgrade?

Passwords and Security
"A password should stay in our own brain and not anyone else's."
- Pallav Agarwal
A password is the one thing that protects nearly everything on you laptop. It protects, your:
- e-mail
- documents
- personal photos and videos
- School work
- and more...
Keeping a password safe is extremely important. if someone knows your password I sternly recommend you to change it immediately. Of course if it is your parents then maybe they have the right of knowing your password but if it is a friend then you should still change it because you never know... anything can happen. Change your laptop password even if someone might know it. It is very easy to do so.
If you lose track of the password then maybe you can download a password keeping app that will hold all your passwords. I have a good one where you can have one master password (That NO ONE should ever know) and that will be the key to all other password that you might forget.
Here it is:

Use this to store all your passwords. Remember, DON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR PASSWORD!!!
If you don't know what password to choose then you can always use a password generator. System preferences can do it for you but if you want to use some thing else then
So remember to change your password and not tell anyone!!!
