Plus, it will take time to do the official switch – you’ll have to rebuild your apps, delete old versions that don’t work, sort out new workflows, new versions, reinstall, find license agreements, it all takes time (and it’s not billable for freelancers). Really, that is the safest way – but its frustrating as the performance of a system booted on an external drive isn’t quite what you’re used to, and it’s a bit clunky. You want to play in a protected ‘sand-box’ (I preferred ‘sandpit’ but hey…) so you don’t accidentally convert your current projects to the new system and find yourself committed to the switch. New versions of software often change the file format and rarely is it back-compatible.

Install the new software on the fresh OS, and play with COPIES of older projects that you copied across. The safest option for me is (having backed up your main machine of course) to unwrap a brand new hard drive, format it and install the latest OS on it, then boot from THAT.

Things can go wrong, things like backups and archives invariably take more time than you thought, and what if it’s all horrible and you need to back track? Smaller jumps, a minor ‘point-oh-one’ upgrades can be welcome relief, but this is a ‘point-one’ and it needs an OS upgrade to boot (pun not intended).

Rule 1 of upgrades: never upgrade during a job.

Prepare for some ‘spilled milk’ with Mavericks (for me, Exchange email is broken)Īt first, I thought it odd that Apple released FCPX 10.1 so close to a major worldwide holiday, but on reflection – it’s perfect.

Copy older projects to work with, don’t use originals – Philip Hodgetts has made EventManager X free ! Use it to manage your project updates.

Clone your drive to a bootable image (to return to in weeks and months to come) with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and make a fresh Time Machine backup – make sure they all work before you proceed!.

Build a new bootable drive with FCPX 10.1 to experiment on – you may not want to update yet.

I have to switch from Lion 10.7.5 to Mavericks 10.9, and that’s a big leap. But it requires a major jump in operating system – when your computer is your major money-earning tool and it’s stable and reliable, you don’t touch it unless you have to. Do I need to upgrade? Yes – there’s enough changes in the system that address current issues. On the stroke of midnight, I was pressing the refresh button in the App Store.

We're not expecting magic, but not even having an ETA for support for a Mac OS that has been available in the retail channel for 90 days (and in developer preview for 9 months) is really problematic.Okay, I admit it. If Dell KACE is not already enrolled in the Mac Developer Program, please do so. If we end up having to build and maintain a separate non-KACE imaging tool for NetBooting and imaging all Macs that are less than a year old (which represents the vast majority of our imaging work), it will become less and less clear why we are using the K2000 to image Macs at all. With Mac OS X, once Apple has released a major new OS version, it's typically only a few months before they begin shipping new computers that require that new version. This is actually a bigger deal than Windows 8 for us, because we can simply choose to hold off upgrading our images to Windows 8. Meanwhile, we're preparing to order some new Apple computers that almost certainly won't boot anything less than 10.8.x., and our newest MacBook Pros and Airs are highly unstable in the 10.7.5 NetBoot environment. 10.8 has been out in preview since February, in full release for 90 days, and there's no word on an ETA for K2000 support.

10.7 was not supported in K2000 NetBoot until more than a year after its full release.

I am concerned that timely support for Mac OS X seems to be slipping, and this is only becoming more painful as Apple seems to be returning to a near-yearly OS release schedule. Standardizing on a single imaging suite for both Mac OS X and Windows was a big change for us since we have roughly equal numbers of each that make up our pool of college-owned systems, a fully functional environment is equally critical for each of these platforms.
