Apple has released OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and somewhat surprisingly it is a free upgrade for all existing OS X users. If you’re using a Mac laptop or desktop from the last five years or so, you should be able to download OS X Mavericks for free just by visiting the Mac App Store. Some exclusions and caveats do apply, though, so read on for more information.
- That 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 came with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger 10.4.something, not with a 2013 OS X version. The need for the 10.9.0 version has probably to do with the installing of an unsupported OS or the other way around. Too late to daWoim.

Downloading and installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks for free
Mac Os 10.9 0 Update
Before you upgrade to OS X 10.9 for free, the most important question is whether your Mac hardware is compatible. In general, if you’re already running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you should be able to install Mavericks. Here’s a complete list of Mac laptops and desktops compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks:
Mac Os X 10.9.0 free download, and many more programs.
- MacBook Pro (mid/late 2007 and newer)
- MacBook Air (late 2008 and newer)
- iMac (mid 2007 and newer)
- MacBook (late 2008 aluminium, or early 2009 and newer)
- Mac Mini (early 2009 and newer)
- Mac Pro (early 2008 and newer)
- Xserve (early 2009)
Before you begin the upgrade process, you should save and close any open programs. If you’re upgrading some older Mac hardware, you might also find it useful to clear up your hard drive first, by uninstalling unused apps, transferring large files to external storage, and using a clean-up tool such as CCleaner.
If you have Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed (10.6, 10.7, 10.8), upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks is as simple as heading to the Mac App Store, clicking the huge OS X Mavericks banner, and clicking “Install.” It will download the update (which is around 5GB), and then ask whether you want to begin the installation process. Once you begin the installation, that’s it: It’s a one-step installer without any “next” buttons.
For me, on a fairly bogged-down 2011 MacBook Pro, the free upgrade to OS X Mavericks took around 90 minutes. On a newer and fresher systems, it should be a lot faster.
After installing OS X Mavericks…
Once the installation process is complete, a notification will pop up offering to teach you about Mavericks’ new features. You should probably click it, especially if you’re coming from Snow Leopard or Lion as quite a lot has changed. The most exciting new features in Mavericks are probably the iCloud Keychain, Notifications tweaks, and some cool low-level tech that should improve battery life and performance (Timer Coalescing, App Nap, and Memory Compression). If you’ve always wished for iBooks, Maps, and Calendar to make the leap from iOS to your Mac, you’re in luck, too.
If you have any problems upgrading, or you want to draw our attention to an interesting new feature (or bug), leave a comment.
Now read: Is the core of Apple’s OS X rotting from within?
As professional software publishers move their applications on to Mac OS, more and more companies, schools, and offices are attracted to the Apple environment. The demand for ID badge printing solutions compatible with MAC is no small part of this. Evolis currently offers a unique range on the market, including a plastic card printer and badge design software.
Why use specific software to create and print badges?
Of course, it is possible to print a badge from graphic design software (such as Photoshop or GIMP) or text editing software. To do this, you just need to define the print format as the size of the CR-80 card (85.6 mm x 54 mm).
Although this is a valid solution for printing some badges, it becomes very limiting when it comes to customizing cards in larger volumes.
The use of specific software for publishing badges has many advantages to facilitate the design, printing, and encoding of badges:
- Easy management of the double-sided design and printing of badges
- Easy customization of each badge with data from the fields of a database (as well as ID photos).
- Magnetic strip encoding on the badge (often necessary for the purposes of access control to buildings or IT infrastructure).
Badge design software for MAC: why choose cardPresso?
Although there is a wide range of badge design software on the market, cardPresso is currently the only one to operate on both MAC and PC (Windows).

While other badge design software will require you to install Windows on your MAC (via Bootcamp or a solution such as VmWare Fusion), cardPresso allows you to work directly on MAC OS, in its native environment.
