• Customers can now download the Blackmagic Design software updates free of charge from the Blackmagic Design website.

If you have been reading any of my recent posts regarding the saga of OS 10.8.5 and the never ending grey screen then you know I am very happy to hear I can move up to Mavericks and still continue using my BMD cards and software.

Please visit their web site to read the full press announcement from earlier this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time, Good shooting

Update on Mavericks vs Mountain Lion 10.8.5

UPDATE:  I did the full download and re-install option from the recovery options when you boot in command+R.  It took a little less time than an hour total.

I'm letting my system come all the way up for about 15 minutes and then will try a restart after I back up a few things from today's project.  The question is still there... Do I want to go to Mavericks as I have already done the big change from 10.6.8 or do I wait until a few weeks have passed and the tree has been shaken a little.  Time will tell I guess =)

Thanks for stopping by.

Mavericks update vs Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Well it looks like we have a new OSX.  And Apple has left the "big cat" naming convention behind...  Ironically I just gave them $20 for the last Mountain Lion version 10.8.5.  I slurped the Cool-aid last week and joined the Adode family with the Creative Cloud solution.  I'm a little ticked that the sales person said "sure, you can run CC in 10.6.8"  and you can - as long as you don't work in the video or audio business...  So off to the app store I went and upgrade I did.  And, everything was going swimmingly until about an hour ago when I restarted and was met with a big grey screen on all my monitors.  The lovely shade of grey (just one) seem to permanently stick there forever.  

• I gave it a few minutes and then powered off.  
• Restart. 
• Restart....
• Shutdown....
• Restart with P+R+command+option - no luck.  
• Now Restart with command+R and go for a recovery...

I'm now in the last 20 minutes of reloading a whole new OS from the recovery options.  I'm hopeful...  If no joy I have a full back up I did last week and won't really loose anything important.  I'll just have to bump back down to 10.6.8 and then find a copy of 10.8.4 or jump to Mavericks...

So I'm open to thoughts and suggestions here.  I'm running most of the usual suspects from Adobe: Ps, Pr, Ae, Au, Ame.  I have been told by someone who was using the developers version of Mavericks that it's awesome with CC. I have also had the last hour to read on blogs that people are having problems with their CS6 and Mavericks.  So I don't know if I want to make the leap just yet...

I did have the Adobe Applications Manager auto update this morning on the CPU in question... so maybe that has something to do with it???

Anyway.  Just thought I would put this up as I have a little time to kill (5 minutes remaining)

Hope you all are doing well out there and having a great day.

Until next time - Good Shooting (and editing or at least computing)
