We ran a trial on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Retina, Late 2013), our standard looped-video playback test over Wi-Fi, to see by how much battery runtime had improved. To improve efficiency and thereby extend battery life on MacBooks, a few changes have been made behind the scenes – principally App Nap, Timer Coalescing and potentially helping here also, Compressed Memory. Previously we’ve found large-file transfer speeds were lower with SMB/CIFS but now, up to gigabit connections at least, SMB2 is about as good in raw throughput. In our tests of networking performance, SMB2 is now working effectively as fast as AFP between two Macs running Mavericks.
It seems Apple has quietly acquiesced to the system, perhaps because it has more on its plate than to maintain its own venerable networking stack. It’s surprising since Server Message Block is a purely Microsoft network protocol devised for Windows.
#MAILBUTLER MAC 10.9 FOR MAC#
SMB2 is the surprising default file-serving protocol now, replacing long-standing AFP for Mac to Mac connections, with AFP now only used for Time Machine connections unless you force otherwise. Apple OS X 10.9 Mavericks: Under the bonnet changes
Use two screens at the same time in Mavericks. The new Do Not Disturb feature ported from iOS brings a welcome full-time respite to continually annoying distractions, by simply setting DND to run 24 hours every day. The Notifications system has been increased in scope, able to let you quickly reply to emails from the pop-up itself. We found this feature works without hitch, and you can even run full-motion video smoothly.
#MAILBUTLER MAC 10.9 TV#
Mavericks lets you use your television screen through an Apple TV to expand your desktop, or mirror your main screen. We found this made more sense but if you prefer the old way you can deselect ‘Displays have separate Spaces’ in System Preferences/Mission Control.Ī curious visual change is the sight of a ghostly half-window as you drag from one monitor to another, the unfocused display side rendered quite translucent.Įxpanding your screen space doesn’t even require an extra monitor, if you have an Apple TV available. Using a two-finger sideways swipe on a Magic Mouse, or three- or four fingers on a trackpad, moves desktop on the display focused by the mouse cursor. Rather than double up on every virtual desktop when using two screens, for example, each panel can switch independently, and have as many virtual spaces as you wish – up to 16 anyway. Mission Control display overview performs differently now in Mavericks when more than one monitor is used. We can’t imagine this feature being eagerly requested by users but it does signpost more of the iOSification of OS X.įinder tips and watch our video guide belowĪpple OS X 10.9 Mavericks: Multiple monitors In line with almost every other application running on the modern Mac, you can now put Finder into full-screen mode with the usual system-wide Cmd-Ctrl-F. Mind when you’re picking up a Finder window from anywhere in the top bar though, as if you click too low this can have the unexpected effect of tearing off the tab to create a new window, like with Safari tabs. If you’re used to having several Finder windows open at once, it’s worth trying and you may find yourself appreciating the reduced window clutter. You can create a new tab with Cmd-T, and we’ve found this is a handy way to set up file move or copy operations between disparate directories, dragging files from one open tab to the actual tab bar of the window’s second tab. There has been similar functionality available before from other developers – we used to rely on TotalFinder – but having Apple integrate it into the OS means there are no surprising glitches. Tabbed Finder windows are a power user’s dream. Possible names for the follow-up to Mavericks.
