after installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto. How to update iphoto?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

How do I install mavericks on a macbook with out the app store?

Okay, so this has been very annoying lately. So, long story short, I had to erase my HDD on my Macbook Pro which erased my operating system, and I do not have an OS X install disk. Is there a way to get OS X Mavericks with out having to go to the app store? I'm running OS X 10.5.8 Darwin on a 2007 iMac. So, I do not have access to the App Store. I am only 16 and I don't have a credit card to spend the 20 dollars on upgrading the OS to 10.6.0 Snow Leopard. Is this possible to get Mavericks so I can put it on a USB and install it, or no? The Macbook Pro is just a regular Mid 2012 13 inch with 4gb RAM, an Intel 2.5 i5 Processor, and a 500gb hard drive. Please help, I do not want to have this amazing notebook hanging around that I can not use. Thanks.

If this is for a 2012 MBP, the you can do this:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

After installing Mavericks, deleting emails requires shutting down Mail app.

After I installed Mavericks, I began to notice that whenever I am in my Mail app, deleting an email will result in causing the email to gray out in the list of available emails in my Inbox; trying to open the grayed out email just reveals a blank email window. Only after I quit Mail and then reopen it do the deleted emails disappear from my Inbox. Thanks in advance for any tips to help me fix this!

Step One:
Download and run the combo updater.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
Boot into Recovery drive. Hold down Command R when restarting. Follow the steps here to reset YOUR permissions. (not the same as Disk Utility repair permissions) Then while still booted from recovery drive, open Disk Utility and select Repair Drive and Repair Permissions.
Restart.
Spotlight will reindex your entire drive. Search will not work until this is oomplete.
Open Mail and test.
Step two
If you still see the problem, reindex Mail. Normally, I would start with this step first but what you are describing indicates issues with the base files and permissions.
Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
Scroll to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
When you open Mail it will re-index your files.

Apple ID greyed out in app store & can't edit

The apple ID on my iMac is greyed out, and I can't change it because my only option is to cancel or sign in. How do I edit the Apple ID so the correct one populates in the app store? Itunes works fine, if that matters.

"Update All" Greyed Out On App Store Updates Page

I have noticed that when I go to the App Store to update Apps, the "Update All" option is greyed out. There is more than one App to update in every case and I end up having to update each individually. However, when I update the first individual App (1st selected not necessarily 1st in list), the "Update All" option becomes available and functional.
This occurs on iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.2 and NOT on my iPad 3 running iOS 7.0.2.
Anyone else notice this and/or have a solution?
Thank you very much.

Yes, I have also seen what you have reported. This looks like a bug.

HT204210 STATUS_CODE_ERROR message in App Store when trying to authenticate to download iMovie update after 10.10.2 update

After updating to 10.10.2, when I try to authenticate when to download an iMovie update in the app store, I get a STATUS_CODE_ERROR message. How do I fix it?

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country

I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?

You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

A user account specific issue like this has me wondering if there's an issue with the iTunes preference files in your son's Windows user account, renee. (There's a different set of those in each different account. So a preference file issue can cause trouble in one user account but not another.)
Even if you're not getting a -50, perhaps try the following document:
[iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3288]
(Adjusting the Parental control preferences should be done inside your son's Windows user account. The command line technique can be done from within either account.)

After installing Mavericks stuck on Setting up Your Mac after restart

After installing Mavericks which was extremely slow a number of software applications also had updates. All of this took more than a day. After that my login was slow but everything worked.
The other user's log in got stuck on Setting up your Mac. Then I made mistake of going in under my own log in and changing start-up to go automatically to the other user automatically. Now I can't log myself in anymore and I am totally hung up now on Setting Up Your Mac without any access.

Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with starting up your Mac:
OS X Mavericks: If your computer stops or delays while starting up
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13976
Shut it down by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. Hold down the Option key and start up your computer again. Keep holding down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen. Select one of the disks. After your computer starts up, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Startup Disk, and select a disk.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

After installing Maverick I can no longer highlight multiple emails the same way in orden out my mailbox I highlight a message,hold down my mouse and drag my cursor to highlight more messages. I click "delete" & they go to trash. How do I do this again?

After installing Maverick on my 2011 MacBookPro I can no longer highlight multiple emails in the same manner. To clean out my Inbox I highlighted a message, held my mouse down & dragged my cursor down through all the messages I wanted to delete (or move to another mailbox, or other functions) highlighting as many messages as I wanted. I then clicked "delete" & they went to trash. Such a great way to clean out a lot of messages at once. Can I and/or how do I do this again? Or is this something Maverick has eliminated? I also hate that "Notes" is no longer on the Mail page, but this is not as important. Help!!

Put differenltly, if I can drag select multiple items and objects on my desktop, which I can, using my Kensington Track Ball (which has an enabled updated software driver in place, so I don't think there's a problem there), why can't I click-drag-multipleselect emails in mail like I have *always* been able to? Really, what is the problem here? Why is that no longer possibler? I'm not a coder, but I can't believe this isn't fixable. Here, Apple should be ashamed of itself, regardless of the fact that there's an easy work around. When I have to alter the way I have been doing something for years and have to waste time learning something new and complaining about it -- like right now! -- and there's no good technical reason, and I bet there isn't, then Apple has simply failed.

After installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2009 (japanese keyboard) the layout doesn't work. I mean if I press the @ button the è symbol comes out. I tried to change the layout in Preferences but doesn't work. Could anyone help me please?

Hi there
after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me please?

Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work. You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri. Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:

After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. Now Mail crashes every time I open it. What's up?

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.
