Hi All
I'm currently looking the Installation DVD for Mavericks. Reason being, that our company use's over 100 MacBook Pro's and we can't download 6GB everytime we want to upgrade a user's laptop. We would like it to be on DVD. Where can i get the installation DVD from or even download it?
Regards

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
The trouble with that theory though is that many other people have been able to successfully burn the iso to make a bootable dvd.
If it is the drive, I would suggest cleaning it before necessarily replacing it. Sometimes dirt can prevent it from burning. Cleaning it may fix the problem and it might not need replacing.
Yup. Dust on the lens is also common.
Given that reading DVDs isn't an issue, and the drive hasn't been used that much, it likely isn't the drive. Do you have any issues writing single layer disks?
Maybe Verbatim is my help.
Could very well be. Cheap no-name disks are cheap for a reason. They all fail badly in comparison tests.
Try booting it up with option key. It will take you to the startup manager. Then select the dvd. If successful it will take a while to boot up. Then you may install mavericks from the dvd.
I meant if this was a correct look of burned OS like that on the screenshot above? I don't want to boot up from DVD right now, as for now I'm satisfied with 10.9.5.
Yes. That's what it is supposed to look like but the only way to see if it really is bootable is to test it out the way I said.
And what is that Russian word установка? Is it Install?
My installer app on the dvd is called Install OS X Mavericks.
Apart from that, your dvd and mine look the same.
Yes, that word is "Install" 🙂 After the burn process succeeded I now feel comfortably. I'm sure I'll successfully boot up from the DVD.
But you will have to choose the third one, i.e., OS X Base System, to boot up from the dvd.
