Anybody upgrade? Any users with realtime experience?

As an aside my experience with upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 was a terrible. Now, you can't go back, I'm waiting for a number of upgrades and bug fixes. The phone worked like a champ until the upgrade... now it's a chump.

Thanks for the link. I'm also looking for some overall feedback in addition to use with playback programs.

seamless to date. No problems with either Pure Music or La Rosita plugin for wireless streaming.

The phone is another matter. Rrrr...

Nor have I run across any other issues.

I have a weird issue I want to resolve before upgrading. Because I have a snow Leopard partition on my Macbook, I sometimes boot into that to use some "obsolete" software. I noticed that although the only partitions there are ML 10.8 (upgraded from 10.7) and SL10.6.8, I have a 'Recovery HD' partition and a 'Recovery HD 10.8.5' partition. So far neither an Apple "Genius" nor the Apple Support Forums have been able to tell me why this is or what I should do about it. Anyone here got any ideas?

Recovery HD is an "invisible" partition that contains enough code to boot the machine so it can download a new copy of the OS. My guess as to why you have two of them is that one was created for Lion and the other for ML.

No issues for me on my giant iMac.

I lost my USB on my 2008 MacBook. About a year ago I lost the
airport receiver on it; so I bought a USB wireless receiver.
Now that can't be used.

Back to the old dependable NIC
port. Hope they fix the problem soon.

I installed Mountain Lion over Lion. There is no Lion on the machine anymore, therefore there should be no recovery partition for it. This has been confirmed by a Mac Genius.

What if the ML upgrade had gone sour? How would you recover the machine if the Lion Recovery HD had been erased already?

At any rate, you have the machine in front of you, you can see for yourself what version of the OS is on each Recovery partition.

By restoring from the bootable backup on my external hard drive, made with Carbon Copy Cloner.

One of the volumes is clearly labeled 10.8.4, the other one has to be the 10.7 partition. So I know which partition needs to be deleted, it's just that nobody seems to know how to do it. Including Apple.

Hi, but you need to boot the machine before you can restore from a TM backup. Hence, Recovery HD...

Sure, but that's not what Apple provides.

It's not a big deal or anything, I'm just trying to explain why there is logic to keeping the Lion Recovery HD.

You can check for sure by booting from each recovery partition.

Partitions can be deleted with diskutil. I'd imagine this is getting into "not supported" territory though. It's not going to cause a problem to just leave the unwanted Recovery partitions there, though. You can recover some drive space but at the risk of ending up having to restore from backups anyway. It's up to you of course.

So, just to add to that, if you have CCC there is a (relatively) risk-free way to do the upgrade. First, let's assume that you have two bootable backups. Just in case. Then do the Mavericks upgrade on one of the bootable backups. Check it out, test it, etc. If it's good, clone it to the internal drive.

OK! I think I'll do it that way myself.
