A:

1. Again about your "wishlist": I would not use Comsol (3). At least wait a few days, to see that you have done everything right.

2. I also would wait with Wine: it is not really sure that it will not create issues, it is there already a long time, but it has a history of problems.

3. Reread my comments above.

4. As Mad says about 'illegal': it is illegal to distribute hacked apps in most countries, not to download them, but the use is illegal also in most countries. For me it is very important that your system can be hacked or 'injured' by installing these torrent downloads (the same goes for apps/tools downloaded from some 'grouping' sites like download.com (Cnet), Softonics, etc. In general it is recommended to download only from developer sites.

-------------------

Now for the clean install:

instead of giving the list of actions here you can find them here:

http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-clean-install-os-x-mav ericks-on-my-mac

read it carefully and print the pages and the pages of the links in there.

I propose to do it with a USB stick (8GB), because when you just do it by using the Restore partition, you have to restart after an internet hiccup.

Then follow the steps: make sure you do not forget step 5.

------------------

after the install of Mavericks use the Mac to see if everything is OK, then download/install the apps/tools but ONLY the trusted ones, and then not all together, in order of necessity.

Avoid all that were not included as OK in above discussion.

Download Etrecheck and run it after a few and post with the list of what you installed before the list. Then install some more and run a list again with what you installed after the first and before the second list, and so on.

Personally I always restart the mac after each install.

Don't worry about the ram and cpu use in the etrecheck lists in this phase: Spotlight is indexing and all kinds of caches are filled.

    Start and run one of the apple apps. If nothing süecial, install a few non-apple ones, then an ertrecheck list for us, with the list of the installed apps, and so on as explained above.

    I finnished reinstalling Maverix. Everything seems to be fine. Thanks a lot guys, especially you LexSchellings. We'll stay in touch and by Tuesday I'll post the first results of Etrecheck with the list of apps installed! Thanks again.

    2-Algodoo

    3-FractalEditor, g4view, pmx, GCM, 123DMake

    6-Memory Diag

     

     

     

    Is everything ok now?

    As far as I can see, everything but the Page-outs. Looks like you need to go shopping for more RAM. 4GB is the absolute minimum for Mavericks and it looks like it can't accommodate even those few apps you need.without the need to use virtual memory on your hard drive.

     

    Had not heard of Memory Diag before, so I gave it a try. If it hadn't specifically said it was built for Mavericks I would have told you to trash it, but for now I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt until I hear otherwise. Haven't tried the "Optimize" button yet as I don't know what it does. Almost all of the old memory utilities don't work properly with the new Mavericks memory management scheme and actually make things worse for most users.

     

    Mavericks wants to keep RAM as full as possible for maximum efficiency. The hope is that all the right software will be loaded when needed so it won't need to access your hard drive to get it or re-load it. Ideally, Page-outs would then be zero.

    Hi vrave28,

    You have too many Page-outs, which could mean you have to add Ram, but also that there is a memory leaker in one of the now installed apps.

    MemoryDiag and Caffeine were not in your "wish list":

    Uninstall MemoryDiag. It just reads all info from already available data in OSX. The 'optimise' is already done by Mavericks itself, so it can only thwart the OS.

    Uninstall caffeine, counterproductive.

    After the uninstalls, restart and run only Mathematica and use it, then make a new etre list. If the Page-outs are again in the GB region, stop and post the list here;

    If the Page-outs are only a few MB, start Algodoo  (and let Mathematica running)  and use it a bit, then make a new list and again, when the Page-outs are in the GB region, stop and post the list;

    If the Page-outs are only a few MB again, start  Fractals (letting the other two run) and use it a bit, then make a new list and post it here.

    The two tools memorydiag and caffeine should never return in your system.

    Come on Mad, you do not need it! You are better than that! But that is not the issue here:

    My problem here is, that the OP made a wishlist, on which also are hacked apps. And we would like to find out which on that list is the cuplrit for the Page-Outs. Now suddenly he is installing other "tools" that were not on his list, and so corrupting the thinking process...

    I installed Memory Diag just to see the difference between now and a couple of days ago. I thoght that since it was on app store wasn't harmfull. Sorry if I messed it up. After uninstalling and then running Mathematica, Algadoo, Fractal Editor, GMX pageouts were  0B. Then i ran octave and the results were as follows:

    If you want to see what is going on, use ActivityMonitor in the Utilities folder: it a load of information, and is much better than memorydiag.

    The list looks rather good now, I propose to remove SpeechsynthesisServer from the LoginItems, and start it manually when necessary.

    How does it feel now? passed the first station with the first prize!

    SpeechsynthesisServer activates when there are speakable items right? Actually I work very late at night sometimes and I need a reminder of the time, that's why i activated time announcement. Beside this, I feel happy and my mac feels quite relieved I guess. So everything is more than OK! I started downloading iWork package now, but i see on purchaces that I have iPhoto and Garadgeband but not iMovie. Do I have to rebuy it?

    OK, got your point. Going forward with a good feeling

    iWork is not there anymore for Mavericks: the apps Pages, Numbers, Keynote are separate apps now.

    As long as you had it from the appstore you can redownload iMovie afaik.

    BTW when you want to save a pages document: you can use "export" intead of "save" and then you can choose different formats (pages, pdf, doc etc).
