I need Mavericks?

I am very happy with OSX Mavericks.   I especially don't want to part with nice 3D dock.  (I hate the flat doc in the newest operating system)  I don't want to see changes in how the operating system works now because I'm so used to it after 3 years.   Are there risks of security with your stay with the Mavericks?  How can I go on patching my current Mavericks have all the latest patches without having it pass me to El Capitan?   The finder reported my OS as 10.9.5.

Yet one thing, there are a new alert out of security today for:

CVE-2016-4654, CVE-2016-4655 and CVE-2016-4656

This affects only El Capitan and Yosemite?    I need to find a patch for the Mavericks?

Hi MacFan, in General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. Upgrades and updates contain important security as well as additional functionality enhancements.

https://support.Apple.com/kb/sp728

If there is a patch for the update that you have been notified by Mac AppStore. I'm not familiar with all the various security updates.

but thatone is available only for El Capitan and Yosemite:

    If you upgrade OS X via the app store, you will jump directly to El Capitan 10.11.1 unless you have downloaded an older version without install it for some reason any.

    Some 10.8.5 apps will not work with 10.11.1 without updates.  Like iPhoto for example.  Since we do not know what applications you have, we cannot tell exactly what can be broken in the upgrade.  You must seek compatibility with 10.11.1 for each application that you care with a sentence of google as "iPhoto 9.6.1 compatibility with OS X 10.11 or mail apps that you're more concerned is there is not much here (for Apple applications) or on the website of the developer for applications not Apple.»

  • status of app store of the mavericks is downloaded - I need an up-to-date copy - certificate has expired on my copy

    status of app store of the mavericks is downloaded - I need an up-to-date copy - certificate has expired on my copy

    If you have the Mavericks.app installed on your Mac or an external drive connected, the App Store is picking up.

    If you disconnect the external or move the copy of the application to a USB etc., eject.

    Relaunch the App Store and see if you can now download Mavericks from the pga of purchases.

    You can also set the date and time manually on your mac, uncheck the set the Date and time automatically

    Choose a date as February 2, 2016. You should be able to install your earlier copy of Mavericks.

    Set the date and time right now once done.

    You can also get your Apple Store if you are near one.

  • I need version for Mac OS 10.7.5 - impossible to Mavericks

    Help!

    I had Skype on my Mac, but due to a lot of documentation that it could cause some problems with the functionality of copy - paste from excel (which is strangely) I removed it, assuming I could reinstall it later. The problem is that he deleted my trash. Now I need to reinstall, but the latest version that comes with the installation program requires the MAVERICKS as the operating system.

    The problem is I'm in the middle of a big project in Final Cut Pro (version 7) and everything I read said I should NEVER improve my BONE in the middle of a project.

    I really want to get my back of Skype - how can I get the version for 10.7.5? Help!

    Never mind - found on a Web site for the old software. Thank you.

  • Is there a way to download the Mavericks; I need a laptop plus

    Is there a site that has an available Mavericks Installer? I need for a clean installation for an older laptop.

    Thank you

    If the laptop is too old to run in El Capitan, it's also too old to run the Mavericks. Where it's important, Mavericks is only available by signing in the Mac App Store with an Apple ID used previously to download or in a physical Store and asking for it.

    I have Pages version 5.6.1. How can I convert a document that I create in this version to an older version (Maverick) of Pages? I created documents in version 5.6.1 and I need for my colleague to be able to open the documents, but it has the old version. I already clicked on 'option' and select 'duplicate' to get the prompt "save under". However, when I do this it does not to choose another version.

    To create a document that can be opened with previous versions of Pages, open the document in Pages, and go to the menu file (in the menu bar)-> export as-> Pages ' 09. Save the file and send it to your friend, if she can open it without any problem.

  • Need to download the Mac (OSX Mavericks) for LaserJet P1005 driver

    I visit a House that has a HP LaserJet P1005.   I need to install the driver on my MacBook Pro using OSX retina (the latest version: Mavericks).  The owner of the printer has an installation of the driver disc, but these new MacBook Pro no longer have an internal optical drive.  So I need to download the driver on the internet.  The printer is now out of warranty, not that it is important.  The HP site says get the driver from Apple using software update, but Apple does not have it.  The HP site says if Apple doesn't have the driver of former driver on your computer will work - but I don't have that.   So I have not been able to find any support position that helps me.  I tried to call the 800 number and was waiting on hold for half an hour before I gave up.  Help, please!  I need to print some documents in the next few days before the end of the year.  Thank you.

  • Finder constantly need stimulus, freezes (Macbook pro running with the Mavericks)

    I have a macbook pro running on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I got it for a few years? Pretty smooth sailing, touch wood, except for a few days every time I try to use the finder it freezes and the screen gets corrupted look (so; it's like a picture of me trying to access my applications folder).

    If I use force quit to make finder restart, it will work for the first couple items, I try to find, and then do it again. I tried to delete the plist finder and reboot, but no dice. Is there something I can do?

    Wow, never heard of that before. Beautiful new computer, too.

    Try to connect as a guest (or any other user account) and see if the same thing happens.

    • If you do not have an active guest account (you would see on your login screen), open system preferences and go to users and groups.
    • Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your admin password.
    • Under the section other users to the left of the window, click Guest user.
    • Check "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
    • For ease of use, click Connection Options at the bottom and check "see the fast user switching menu under...". "The option is not serious.

    Click on your username at the top, next to the Spotlight search, and select guest user. Find out if the Finder is doing the same thing... then you can log on to the guest user account and return to your current account.

  • MacBook 2008 El Capitan or Mavericks

    I buy a refurbished Macbook 2008. This is a screen of 13.3 "with 2.4 GHZ. I have a selection of El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks. Should I go with the Mavericks or El Capitan? I have a friend who has upgraded to El Capitan with his 2008. I also heard some of those who have said that they will never switch to El Capitan and will stay with the Mavericks. Since I have this choice, choose El Capitan or Maverick? I basically will use this laptop for Keynote presentations. It would be nice to go on the Internet searching for information required for presentations. Thanks for the help! Bookman

    I guess that your Macbook is a fine model of 2008.

    Unless you had some Mavericks, installed in another computer and it is in your App store account, you won't be able to use it because it is no longer available.  This soul El Capitan is your only choice.

    Since this Macbook is new to you, you will need to install the original OS x (Leopard) or Snow Leopard to get the Macbook associated with your Apple ID.  This is necessary so that you can install updates (including the OSX)

    You will need this disk:

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    Then run the Combo of Snow Leopard update:

    https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1399?locale=en_US

    This moment will allow you to install the Mavericks (assuming that you have a copy of your App Store account) or El Capitan.

    Ciao.

  • Mavericks install Question

    Can I install the Mavericks on a bootable usb key made from a download on a MacBook Pro iMac?

    Yes, provided that the model you have will start the Mavericks. You will need to erase the drive in the Installer before installing.

  • Flash player seems to be missing in Mac, Mavericks - even once it is installed successfully.

    First of all, I am in a current Mavericks OS on a Mac Powerbook with Firefox 39.0.

    First of all, I started to receive messages that I need Flash Player to see this or this new video, so I installed a copy, maybe not the "best" source. then I started to receive messages to the effect that it would not be OK, so I went in "tools / modules / plugins and selected 'never turn on'." I looked for a way to remove this module, but could not find a way.

    Then I went to the Adobe site and installed Flash Player from here. This completed and indicated that the installation was successful. But then, I find that this new version does not even appears in the list of plug-ins, and of course, that it is never active, therefore effectively invisible.

    I'm sure I've been through things upwards but have no idea where to start to remedy that. Help!

    Finally, the current Flash Player is safe to use?

    Thank you
    MidAtlantian

    Hello

     Problem solved. Apparently Adobe Flash Player installs a plugin to Firefox that is named "Shockwave Flash", and I had disabled that thinking it might have been an insecure bit of software.
    

    In any case, thank you for your efforts.

    See you soon,.

  • Why my preferences of MacBook Air (Yosemite) do not show all of the options that show on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks)?

    Each time, click on "Firefox - preferences", I get only a partial view of the options that are displayed normally on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks). If I click on a different subtopic, preferences to close and reopen the preferences, I get a more complete screen on THIS subject, but never have I could see "saved passwords" or "Change Master password" on the MacBook Air.

    This seems very odd. It would be useful to see what you're talking about. Can you post some screenshots of the respective preferences and describe the difference you see?
