Is there any direct link to download this update? 5.29GB is pretty big. Would love to download it through my download manager.
YOu can pause and resume download through appstore.

Re: OS X Mavericks App Store link
#82Does anyone know how installing Mavericks affects hard drive space? I'm running on an 128GB SSD and space is always at a premium for me.
Same here with HD space being at a premium.
For anyone not yet using a hard drive analysis tool for discovering what's taking up all that space, DaisyDisk has served me well. For analysing Time Machine backups, BackupLoupe works well for identifying backup bloaters.

What happens when you do that without the --nointeraction flag? Presumably, it explains what it's going to do, and prompts for elevation?
Was the previous comment edited? There's no --nointeraction flag there.
There is, you need to scroll horizontally- there's no text wrapping on

The firmware update gave me a success message after I had installed it, and I don't see it available again in the updates. So no luck there.
FWIW - I rebooted it on my own after the first dialogue saying that it had installed. Then it was there again in software updates.
Happened to me, too. With the exception I have FileVault enabled. Contacted Apple Support and looking forward to resolve this issue. Otherwise I'm stuck with Mountain Lion. Can anybody confirm this has something to do with FileVault, actually?
Re: OS X Mavericks App Store link
#85So I'm doing the upgrade on an mbp with filevault2. The installer "reboots" the machine and goes into the rest of the installation. But I'm never prompted for a disk password. So... how'd that happen?
You may not have noticed it, but it prompted you for your password as part of the installation wizard. I assume that after that, it saved your password where the boot program could find it. Other full-disk encryption programs have similar capabilities, where they'll automatically unlock an encrypted volume if so configured. This is totally insecure, of course, but in the context of the Mavericks upgrade, it's temporary so I guess that's OK.
The interesting question is this: How well did Apple sanitize whatever bit of disk or flash memory ended up storing the key through the two reboots Mavericks needed to do to complete the upgrade?

#86Apple wants to try to convince me that I should save my passwords in the cloud - and that Apple doesn't have access to them? Has no one in Cupertino heard of Edward Snowden?

Oh, I did notice. The same prompt you get when installing any software. However, my user/password and the disk decrypt password are different passwords, no?
Re: OS X Mavericks App Store link
#88I ran into an issue while installing. It said "An error occurred while installing OS X" and then froze. Afterwards, I got a bouncing question mark. Booting into internet recovery several times, and it couldn't find my HDD. I finally assumed that it had probably fried my HDD somehow, so I powered off and ordered an SSD online since I was looking to upgrade anyway. I unplugged it from the wall and turned it on and it s…
Update: It did not in fact work. It turns out that my SATA cable happened to die. I replaced it myself for about $25 on Amazon.
