Introduction

It’s time once again for another major system software upgrade from Apple, and this time we’re moving to Mavericks, a.k.a. OS X 10.9 (did you notice that Apple has officially dropped the “Mac” from “Mac OS X”?). With Mavericks, Apple leaves the big cat names for OS X releases (they had run out of majestic feline monikers) and moves to celebrate inspirational California landmarks. Mavericks is a surfing location in Northern California, where waves from winter storms can reach as high as 80 feet (24 meters).

OS X 10.9 is a major system upgrade, and like all major upgrades, you’ll need to do some preparation before you make the jump. This ebook provides everything you need to know to get ready for your move to Mavericks.
