All Developer Previews work fine, except DP4 does not boot. Here is the bug: -The computer never boots successfully, it just UIActivity Spins with the white apple, then freezes, and starts spinning again, then freezes, and continues until I hold the power button down. Has anyone else experienced this same issue when upgrading to DP4? Jake Title Comments Hi All, Over the past 24 hours, I have been trying to update my test computer to Mavericks Developer Preview 4.

I discovered why I always did that when I downloaded iOS7 on my main iPhone 4S. So now I've got a really bugged out iPhone 4S, which I use for normal day-to-day life, but I won't install Mavericks on my mac, because as you say, it could bug it up. Especially since my mac is used by three different people in the family, it would really make them annoyed. Although, I can't wait for the release! When it comes to OS XI, I hope they really radically change the UI, to maybe a flatter design like iOS 7. Comments Although I love developer previews, I never download them on my main device.
