[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1632932, member: 56379"] I need to define a couple things: Update = small incremental changes (like going from OS 10.8.1 to 10.8.2) Upgrade = larger more significant changes (like going from OS 10.8 to OS 10.9) I personally usually do the "updates"...but I am much more cautious when it comes to "upgrades". And with the upgrade part (for example)...I don't like going with the first version (such as 10.9.0). Since it is more likely to have bugs. Version 10.9.5 (5 updates...10.9.1, 10.9.2, 10.0.3, 10.9.4, 10.9.5) should be a much more stable version...and contain far fewer bugs. What I'm saying is. OS 10.9.5 (the version you upgraded to)...should be very stable...and mostly bug free. This is why I say that "most "likely"...the OS upgrade to 10.9.5 is probably not the issue. The issue is probably confusion of some sort on the user's end.;) Another reason the upgrade is probably not the issue. There is no "avalanche" of other users reporting the same issues. Another question for you (you actually did not answer my earlier question).;) Where & when did you get the 10.9 install file? The 10.9 (Mavericks) install file is currently not available from the Mac App Store. If you got this install 10.9 install file recently...it didn't come from the Mac App Store. - Nick [/QUOTE]
