Deleting files takes hours or doesn't work at all after update to OS X Mavericks

Hi everyone,
My problem: I updated to OS X Mavericks the day the update got available but since then, I have a difficulty deleting files.
Wether it are pictures or music files, sometimes it will delete the file very fast and other times it will either take hours or it won't delete at all (after waiting for hours) and even then to stop the file from going to trash will take a very long time.
I tried doing this while "Secure Empty Trash" was on and off but it stayed the same.
Any help would be much appreciated.
About my Mac: 15' MacBook Pro, version 10.9.1, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.

If How to Troubleshoot iSight doesn't help, Reinstall OS X.

Apple TV doesn´t work at all after updating firmware!

After updating firmware Apple TV 3 the only thing that works is the little lamp on the front...it´s steadily blinks. It doesn´t response to remote control, and don´t show up threaded via USB in Itunes for resetting.
Model: Apple TV 3
Itunes: 12.0.1.26
What to do?

The update didn't apply correctly. You need to restore via iTunes.

Make sure you follow the steps correctly (unplug all cables, connect micro usb, then reconnect power)
Connect directly to a computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable

N73 doesn't work at all after update

Hi all,
I hope you can help me with this problem. I updated my N73 with the new firmware V4.0735.3.0.2. In the last 40 secs of the update I suddenly got a notification that the connection was lost (battery was full, charger plugged in and data cable connected). I tried all the possible solutions to get the phone working again, but so far....nothing!
I've been trying to get it back to live for a few hours now, but still nothing. Charger has been charging, battery has been removed several times, etc. and it's still dead.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Update: tried options in this thread /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=18308#M18308 doesn't help. Tried other charger, nothing there either. Seems the phone has really past away. Will contact nokia support center tomorrow, still any help/options will be appreciated!

Exchange server doesn't work at all after upgrade to 8.1.1

Hi there,
Upgraded to 8.1.1 yesterday and ever since getting mail from an Exchange server (not GMail as exchange, real exchange) doesn't work.
I have tried removing account and re-adding it again, it authenticates, all is dandy, but it never pulls the folders list or the mail at all.
Refreshing says "Updated just now", and then zilch, nothing, nada.
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Vlad
PS. I tried resetting, wifi/3g, push vs fetch, all the standard knobs and whistles - nothing helps.

I just got my emails again, not sure what did the magic, but this is what I did:
- Downloaded my enterprise certificates (device provisioining) - Maybe you don't have to do this step.
- Reset the iPAD (press power button and menu button until you see apple logo -> this doesn't erase data on the iPAD)
- Deleted the exchange account
- Created the exchange account - at this time the iPAD could confirm credentials
After a couple of minutes emails started coming again!
Btw, I had this issue after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1.

Windows Update doesn't work - lost all prior update history

Hello,
My HP Pavilion DV7 just informed me that after 4 years of use, all windows updates are lost. There is no history. I installed the Windows hotfix and find that the next step (since the hotfix didn't work) is to run the Windows 7 DVD setup.exe. However, my HP Pavilion did not come with any Windows media disks. I called the store and they say that no computers in the last 3 to 4 years come with media any more. They said the media is on one of the partiitions. Can't find it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
HPuser58

Hi,
There are two options available.
1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ). They will also re-create all the original partitions, including the Recovery Partition.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
2. Another option you could consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: You may want to de-select the additional software offerings during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. The Windows Image source is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Firebug doens't work at all after updating Firefox

this morning I updated my firefox to 14.01. after that one of my extension i.e firebug just stopped working at all, I mean I couldn't even find the icon in my browser. I even tried to go to tools>addons> but you know what, even that page is not responding it keeps on loading no results at all. Please can anyone please help me out this cause I'm the middle of my project I really need this firebug. plsss

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

E-MAIL will not work, at all - after update via PC...

Device info
ORANGE UK
Blackberry 9300
Bundle 6.0 2534 (v.6.0.0.570, platform 6.6.0212)
When i plugged my blackberry into my PC it wanted to update the bundle/version of something on curve, everything was working fine until i updated this...
(the bundle 6.0.2534 thing...)
Now when I try to set up my e-mail it shows my 3 accounts i had linked with my blackberry (a hotmail, a orange.blackberry, and a gmail) but when i type the password and click "verify" it shows "unable to continue session please log in again"
I read online that it could be the version of email software I was running, so - i found the most current and i updated that, still; same problem.
I've battery pulled, i've security wiped, i've done everything I can think of.
Is there anything I can do, or is this something i'll have to ring ORANGE about?...
i DO have a blackberry data plan also...
Also, it's only personal/internet emails i'm trying to set up not enterprise

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

IChat doesn't open at all after update

So I've been reading all the posts about the problems with the video part of iChat not working after the update... but my iChat doesn't open at all. It says iChat in the top bar (Next to the apple) But nothing happens. The buddy list doesn't pop up and all the options under the pull down menus are gray and unclickable. (haha, not sure if thats a word, but we'll work with it ;] ). Anyways, if anyone has any idea how I can go about fixing that, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

If the iChat menu does not give you access to Log a Screen Name in to the AIM servers and the Window Menu does not list any Account/Screen Name then work through this FAQ

Itunes doesn't work at all after upgrade 7

when i got the pop-up to upgrade to 7 i clicked it. When it was done loading, i got a error that said i don't have quicktinme 7.1.3. So i went onto apple.com and went to quicktime and updated to quicktime 7.1.3. As soon as it was done i cliked onthe itunes desktop icon and it came up with the same error. i ahve tried many times to fix it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling it all over again and it still did not work. Is there any way to fix it or is it something with the compuer?

Hey Diego3,
You would want to use the tips provided here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
I would first try skipping down to Uninstall older versions QuickTime, the attempt to repair iTunes installation. This will be done through control panel>addremove programs.

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for ios4.3.3 but now the apps don't work at all after updating. They just flash on the screen but don't stay displayed. What is going on?

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for IOS4.3.3 but when the update was complete the apps would no longer work. They would just flash when I tapped the screen to bring them up but will stay displayed. What is the problem?

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.
