I have Safari 9 working for 90% of the websites. There are two very difficult ones, Youtube and Cloudflare with their captchas. I have managed to enter YouTube with all normality that as you know is banned from Safari9. I suspect that the ban was not due to any codec, but to the ad "servers". Embedded in websites, YouTube works very well which indicates that the ban was due to "commercial" reasons. Now, once inside, YouTube continues to prevent normal work and can only be done if it is entered as "Ipad". I keep doing tests
Got a tip for us?

I have activated the development menu. I have activated web GL. I have checked "disable web tampering". I have checked "enable javascrip in smart search". And in the field "user agent" I have put the Apple webkit base browser: Mozilla / 5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit / 601.7.8 (KHTML, like Gecko). The invention works to enter and see the video but when you exit YouTube, the server scripts stop it from origin again since they detect that you are not in El Capitan. It is a temporary solution but it works for me

, although the resolution of YouTube is limited to 720Just wondering... has anyone else used the hack for the original Mac Pros to get Mavericks to boot... and you're locked to a single screen resolution, despite any and all graphics cards used... with no other options in the control panel? Is this a feature or a bug or... ?
OpenZFS on OS X v2 has been released, and the developer has once again started offering Mavericks builds—but after trying it for a week and running into various stability issues, I ended up downgrading to 1.9.2. I recommend sticking with that version on Mavericks unless something changes, seeing as ZFS runs in the kernel and you really want that to be stable.
Wow, I'd never heard of openZFS before and had to go to wiki to get an indication of wot it's about. So apart the recent issue you mention, have you encountered any other factors to watch for ?
Like does it work fairly well...?
I guess with the security issues of the internet today it provides that extra safe factor
Just curious as to your experiences with it?

I love ZFS and have been using it on Mac for many years, but it's probably overkill for most things.
If you happen to be using your Mac with a standard RAID array, absolutely switch that to a ZFS mirror asap! Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
(But shoutouts to when ZFS was supposed to become the native OS X filesystem. 😭)

I installed this OS (10.9.5) from the archive site to my 2006 iMac with nexpostfacto.
But in the first post of this thread it says:
Apple Software Updates
I was able to install the last one. But with that combo update I get this message: "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I wonder what this means? I have to be careful with this because the Finder will not work at all if I don't install all OS ans security updates. https://parrotgeek.com/npf/10.9.html
Thanks

You can install that update (and any update) via the App Store in Mavericks. It will not complain that way.
For some reason appstore says that no updates available. It seems to me it "thinks" my 10.9.5 is equivalent to that update combo..?
Oh btw I noticed you have exactly the same computer than I. Are you able to connect an external display to your iMac/Mavericks ? For me it doesn't detect it for some reason when using Mavericks. I found the hidden "detect" button but it doesn't do a thing. It is strange because this iMac does detect this external display with Snow Leopard - which I'm using now (the original iMac screen is too messed up to use).

I am able to use an external display just fine. But the problem might be because you haven’t installed the NexPosFacto drivers yet.
Yes that might be. I am just afraid to install those drivers now because I am confused about that software update. I didn't find that 10.9.5 update in Appstore btw. Can you find it? The only place I can find it is that link above.

Weird, I was able to install 10.9.5 with no problems. You can try installing the drivers to see what happens. If it fails you could just reinstall Mavericks and try againYes that might be. I am just afraid to install those drivers now because I am confused about that software update.
I guess I will have to do that. I just would hate to install it again because the original screen is a total mess and the installing process was such a pain in the butt..
It probably is equivalent! The "combo update" was for going from earlier versions of 10.9 to 10.9.5, and was integrated into later installers.
What those installers (and the combo update) don't include are the later "security updates" which don't increment the version number. For that, install Security Update 2016-004.
You can confirm whether the OS is fully up-to-date by going to About This Mac → More Info. You should see:
The key piece of information being the build number in parentheses, "13F1911".
Do you guys know where I can get an iTunes 12.7 download for my Mavericks Mac?
Thanks in advance!
Where do I get a iTunes 12.7 download for my Mavericks Mac? Do you guys have any idea?
I don't think 12.7 was supported on Mavericks. 12.6.2 was the latest I think.
Download iTunes 12.6.2 for macOS - Apple Support
This update includes minor app and performance improvements.
Were you guys really able to use Mavericks with just 2GB of RAM? For me just one browser eats it all already... I guess I should add 1 GB or even 2... (4GB is max for this iMac).
That’s not so much Mavericks as it is modern web browsers and web pages.
Mavericks actually works fine with 1GB in my experience.

Well I have two partitions on this iMac: 10.6 and 10.9. I don't have much issues with 10.6, I can even use 2 browsers at the same time (though it's slow and I prefer not to do it). But with 10.9. just one browser is almost too much.
When I start Mavericks it shows the system is using about 1GB but after opening a browser (I have tried Firefox ESR, Chromium, Palemoon, Waterfox) it suddenly is using 1.99 GB and struggling badly...
I wonder could it be that my partition for 10.9. is too small (30GB) and that is the cause?

I'd be curious to know if you're using the same browser (and version of said browser) in 10.9 as you are in 10.6.
It's not the same thing, but you might take a look at my fixed version of the original Weather Dashboard widget: https://jonathanalland.com/dashboard-widgets.html
Supports Tiger and above, and I'm committed to keeping it running. (But please add a personal API key.)
OS X Mavericks was my favorite version of macOS to date and I vastly prefer that design to what we have now.
It was one of the few release that seemed to have several quality of life improvements and I don’t recall many issues really.

I have always used Meteorologist which still works fine (you’d need the Classic version though) and in my opinion it looks even better.
