Dashboard does not work in mavericks

After installing Mavericks on my Fall of 2011 MacMini, dashboard does not seem to function. It's not there. It doesn't show up as a space (though I have that checked). Further it shows my first space as Desktop 9 and if I had another it is Desktop 10 etc. What happened to desktops 1-8?
Also, calendar doesn't seem to launch. It bounces around on the dock, gets the glowing light underneath it, but nothing ever opens.
Very odd. It installed fine on two other computers.

Dashboard does not work today.

I have upgraded both my MacBook Air and my Mac Mini to OS 10.9.2.   The Air works just as it did in 10.9.1. Dashboard works on the Air.   But Dashboard on the Mini does not operate. I click on the Dashboard icon in the Dock. Nothing happens. I click and hold on the Dashboard icon. The pop-up menu appears. In that menu I click "Show Dashboard." No response. I click "Dashboard Preferences," and I get the Mission Control Preference. Here is how that appears:
I do not see anything here that would disable Dashboard.
Does anyone have any idea as to why Dashboard does not work in 10.9.2?
TIA

Hi Richard,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Dashboard does not launch on your Mac Mini, you may want to see if the behavior occurs in a new user account. This article is a good guide for troubleshooting:

If the same thing happens in a new user account, I recommend reinstalling Mavericks:

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

Mac Mail's smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.

Tagged search such as "from:amazon OR from:yahoo" does not return any result in a smart mailbox. A strange thing is that it still works in the search box on the tool bar, but once the "Save" button is pressed to convert to a smart mailbox, it stops working.

Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

Why SPSS 19 does not works with Mavericks?

I upgrade my operating system Snow Leopard to Mavericks and SPSS 19 does not work again.
I tried to install it again and send me and SPSS show me and error of licence. Can you help me please?

Why do you want to use a h:commandButton and not an <input type="button"> or a <button>? I don't think that you want to execute a backing bean action. Anyway, in this case you can also add return: false; to the onclick event so that it prevents the button from submitting the form to the server.

Finder does not working on Mavericks

Dear all,
The Finder does not working on my newly upgraded OSX Mavericks!
Yesterday I have just upgraded my Macbook Pro (OSX Lion) to OSX Mavericks. Now the Finder does not working at all; by that, I meant the folder I had opened previously now keeps frozening. Although I have tried to "relaunch"/ "Force Quit" the Finder and Restart the computer for so many times, but the frozen window remains on the screen (the Finder is not responding), so now I couldn't do anything neither with my files nor the hard drive itself except web browsing and some applications.
Anyone share your know-how on this please.
Thank you very much.

I also got this problem, I need some help right now.

Lightroom 5.4, syncing photo settings edited in CS6 does not work. Maverick OS 10.9, Raw 8.3.0141

I recently updated Lightroom to 5.4 and noticed that when the file comes back from CS6, the edit/sycn settings does not work. Selecting the gray area of the source file, and selecting another, clicking on the sync produces nothing. When I select a source image and another that has not visited CS 6 the sync works fine. I have used this simple technique for years with previous versions and never had a problem. Something has changed with the update and/or compatibility with the file coming back into Lighroom. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.

ssprengel, thanks for following up. I work with DNG files in Lightroom that have been converted from Raw CR2 files. They are exported from Lightroom to Photoshop as Tiff files and any files that i edited and traveled round trip could not be used to sync other files in Lightroom. Even simple edits like saturation or exposure have disabled the file from being able to sync the settings to other files. I do most of the syncing of develop settings in Lightroom, but occasionallly I will adjust basic settings in Photoshop for one reason or another and after updating to 5.4 I noticed that sync worked fine within Lightroom only. I have tried a few changes to preferences with regard to how develop settings are registered with the file and that hasn't made any difference. Any ideas?

How do I uninstall the iPhoto update which does not work on maverick?

How do I uninstall the iphoto update which does not work. ie it tells me my library is locked out and the recommended action by apple does not open the phot library first aid. ? i need to go back to the old iphoto.

Terence, I was trying a way to message you directly - jumping on a recent thread seemed to be the only way (sorry, DEW45).
Terence, you seem to be the foremost expert on apeture and iphoto and have helped me many times in the past (thanks). I have a question that you may be able to help with (anyone also feel free to take a stab). I use blogger to upload my photos and host my blog (www.sippingespresso.com). I spend hours organzing and editing photos - namely, I will enhance and sometimes alter an image in Apeture. It always saves over the orginal file (at least for viewing purposes), which is fine by me. But then when I go to upload the photos onto blogger it seems to always pull my dull, original image. Obviously, I want the newer, bright, enhanced photo.
I'm one step away from importing them, dragging them out of iphoto and into Photoshop, then editing the files and dragging them back into iphoto, deleting the originals and uploading from there. There HAS to be a better way - please help!! I've already posted far too many boring images without the beauty of Apeture's "auto enhance".
Thanks in advance, Terence or anyone else.

Printer does not work with maverick

canon mf 6595 no longer works with Marverick

Jacques Levesque wrote:
I went to the Canon Site and download the good driver. I delete it, install again but nothing work!
The new UFR2 has two requirements.
1. You must use the "Line Printer Daemon-LPD" protocol. This driver does not support IPP, which is set as the default.
2. When you add the ADV6065 and ADV8085, you must select the entry that shows "Canon iR-ADV 6055/6065" and "Canon iR-ADV 8085/8095". Do not select the entry that shows UFR II in the name. This is the PPD for the older UFR v2.43 driver which does not work on 10.9.

Dashboard does not open in Mavericks

I updated my MacPro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks using the download from the app store. Since this update, the Dashboard will not open.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.

ESATA express card does not work with Mavericks. Any suggestions?

This is an Apiotek II 300 Express Adapter. I went out to Apiotek.com and it appears the domain is for sale. Is there any way to get a software update or do I have to buy a new Express Card that allows eSATA drives to work with Mavericks. I did a backup before I upgraded using X 10.7.5 and everything worked fine. The eSATA drive is not seen using Disk Utility either.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The driver has to come from the manufacturer of the card, so your two options are to get another card or to use your full backup to go back to 10.7.5. That assumes it's a clone backup and not Time Machine.
