Display problem since upgrading to Mavericks on my Macbook pro

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 13" and I have just upgraded to Mavericks and since I have the screen has not been right
Inconsistency across the screen with purple flickering
Any idea how I can fix this
It works fine but not ideal as this is my portable Photography Mac

I would take it in for diagnosis. The problem is probably not related to OS X 10.9.

Problems since upgrading to Mavericks

I am experiencing problems with CC applications since upgrading to Mavericks. Mostly Screen and display issues.
In Photoshop, the top menu bar where the red, yellow , green window buttons normally sit has disappeared and it seems I cannot drag the window down to reveal (if that is the problem)
In Indesign, The program opens but I cannot see any workspace at all, even when I open an existing ID file.
Premiere Pro, Bridge, appear to work OK
After effects and Muse indicated both required upgrades, yet the CC application Manager does not indicate any upgrades required or available.
I have not tried other apps.
Is anyone else experiencing problems since upgrading to Mavericks and if so, does anyone know if Adobe are working on fixes?

I upgraded to Mavericks on two computers and have display problems too! I have CC on one Macbook Pro (2011) and CS6 on another (2012) and I'm now almost positive my display problems are triggered by InDesign. I don't have to be doing anything special, and I don't have to be working in InDesign at the time, but InDesign has to be open and I get things like this:
Once it turns magenta or green, that's when I have to boot the system. I can still work with the glitchy display before it turns colors and if I'm still able to quit InDesign while it's glitching, the display goes back to normal. Same on both computers and the 2011 one has a new logic board in it.
At first I thought it had something to do with connecting my hard drive or my external display, but the display issues happened with both computers with nothing hooked up. Those are ruled out now. I took my 2012 computer to Apple and they told me it was a software issue and all my hardware is ok. Obviously they didn't fix the software issue because it's still happening.
This is not normal and needs to be fixed soon!

Trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks

trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks, what do I need to do please ?

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

Try a reset > OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system

Running the latest OS Mavericks. 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions. Repaired disk permissions - no help.

I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac). 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions. Repaired Disk Permissions - no help. Repaired disk - no problems indicated. Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period. Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

Yes. Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08. Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):

Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome.

USB Speaker/LED Cinema Display Problems After Upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks this morning. My set-up includes a new (Late 2013) 27" iMac and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display, with the mini display port and USB connected from the display to the iMac.
I have a set of Bose USB speakers that I had plugged into the USB port on the Cinema Display for audio. I didn't want to waste one of the USB 3 ports on the iMac so instead was using a USB 2 port on the Cinema Display. This worked fine before upgrading to Mavericks.
Now with Mavericks installed, if I have the speakers plugged in, I get a tone that sounds like very loud feedback. If I plug the USB speakers into one of the USB 3 ports on the iMac however, it works fine.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Mavericks? I've read some other posts about display issues, but they were referencing USB displays. In this case the display is connected via mini displayport, but the USB connection on the display seems to be causing issues.
Anyone else experienced this?

I've been experiencing additional issues with USB speakers. I plugged them into a USB port on the iMac itself (as opposed to the LED Cinema Display) and the feedback was gone. However, now I get situations where the audio appears to randomly "die" on the system. If I go into Audio preferences and switch the audio output to the internal speakers, the audio comes back on. If I then switch it back to the USB speakers, it continues to work until it randomly dies again. This happens typically 3-5 times a day.
If I just use the internal speakers as the audio output, I don't get any issues with losing the audio. The USB speakers worked fine on the iMac before upgrading to Mavericks, and still work fine on my late 2011 MBP still running 10.8.5.
I've read about other similar issues (http://www.imore.com/losing-audio-os-x-mavericks-heres-what-you-can-do-about-it). Still waiting for a fix.

Upgrading to Mavericks wrecked my MacBook Pro & now it only works when external hard drive is plugged in

So I tried to upgrade to Mavericks today and it failed (same error as in this post which seemed to be a common problem). It wouldn't let me repair the disk, and after trying all sorts I rebooted my computer in recovery mode - it wouldn't let me reinstall Lion because the hard drive was apparently locked and I could see no way around this. So I decided to restore from a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive and that worked okay, except my MacBook now only works when the external hard drive is connected. If I remove the external hard drive, I'm back to square one as it still won't let me reinstall Lion as the HD is locked!
I have no idea what's going on. HELP!

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

Problem with upgrading hard drive in 2009 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

Current drive is 320gb with fresh install of OS SL updated with some other programs installed. New drive is Seagate Momentus 750, same brand and model as the old, just bigger.
I install the new drive, boot off the OS SL CD and go into disk utility. Partition and format with GUID and Journaled. Install starts and ultimately fails every time.
Tried to clone the 320 by putting it in the macbook, use the 750 via usb/sata. Drive restores, but it is unreliable in loading and stability. When it gets to the grey screen, it alternately flickers the Apple, Folder and NO sign. Sometimes it loads, sometimes it just keeps spinning. When it does load, it's slow and programs that take more power crash.
Brought it to Apple. They said it was a problem in the SMART section, so I got a new drive under warranty. This is the THIRD drive i've gotten from Seagate. Still doesn't work.
I've countlessly repaired and verified the drive. Helps to load sometimes, but not all the time.
If I put the 320 back in, everything works great.
Thanks.

Is there a quality external enclosure to put the large drive in, one that has its own power supply and not rely on the port power in the MacBook/Pro? If it is a viable drive and can actually run a bootable OS X version, I'd begin to wonder after all that.
{I'd also looked up your computer in MacTracker to see what if any limits on hardware upgrade may exist. Nothing said of direct interest to the HDD. Also in everymac.com, so there should be no surprises. Yet to have those problems is troublesome and a surprise. New drives can fail. Maybe in batches?}
And a clone of a working system for backup could be made with a utility such as CarbonCopy cloner or superduper, etc then tested as a bootable clone, with the hard disk drive tested thoroughly before use. It also is odd that a drive of that size would act up, I see drives of even larger size offered online by reputible resellers and Mac specialist companies who have been around awhile, such as OWC. I just looked to see if there was a ceiling on support of larger size HDD capacities, and 750GB is not the largest. Maybe the series you chose could be among a troublesome batch or brand.
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=302 has a variety of stuff, including RAM, HDD, SSD, etc. And their staff has people who know what they sell. Well, some of them do. I had called them on a topic several years ago and they didn't really have an answer (I was given an OWC dual HDD external drive & it had issues, but had never been used. It still is sitting as-new, w/o support; now obsolete.)
I'd try a different brand and put it into an enclosure that has its own power supply, ports for USB2.0/3.0 and FW400/800, and so on. Perhaps even an OWC line item, not that I've had any valid experience with them here in AK. And ask their people about their products, get names, finger prints, mug shots...! LOL
Good luck & happy computing!

Need help! Attempting to Upgrade to Mavericks broke my MacBook Pro

I'm in need of help. I'll try to give all the info I can.
I have had this MacBook Pro for at least 4 years.
I had been running 10.5 for a long time without issue. At some point, I set up a dual boot with Windows XP. I'm not sure why I did this. It seemed like a cool idea at the time. I rarely ever used Windows... But I liked having the option. It worked very well.
Years went by. No issues. A few months ago I tried updating itunes and realized I needed 10.6 in order to do that... so I bought a Snow Leopard disk and successfully installed the upgrade.
Past few months I've been running 10.6.8 without any issues. Dual booting into Windows XP still worked. No issues.
Then today I realized that installing to 10.9 through the App Store was free. Sure why not... so I tried installing the upgrade... It downloaded, rebooted, started installing and then quit. Something about my disk being corrupted or something. It suggested i reboot my machine, back up my files and try installing again.
Unfortunately, now when I tried booting, it was giving me a grey screen with a circle and a slash through it instead of the Apple logo... and then it would immediately boot into Windows.   It wouldn't boot into OSX at all.
I tried booting into safemode and it would just sit at the green screen (apple icon showing) and sit there for hours. NOthing would happen.
I tried booting via my OSX Snow Leopard disk and doing a repair disk and it's not allowing me to. Any ideas?

It doesn't really make sense for the drive to suddenly fail. I don't even think Mavericks fully began installing... it downloaded the file, rebooted and then said that the install failed.
The drive is set up with 2 partitions. One partition for Mac OSX and the other for Windows XP.   I'm still able to boot into Windows XP without any issue at all. Doesn't that suggest the drive itself might be fine? I wonder if the attempt at installing Mavericks messed up some files on the MacOSX partition?
Here's what I've attempted to do...
I tried doing Shift + Cmd + V and this is the last few lines of code it gives me:
** Root file system
Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.6-3).
** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid extent entry
(4, 0)
** The volume could not be verified completely.
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
fsck failed!
Kext loading now disabled.
Kext unloading now disabled
Kext autounloading now disabled.
Kernal requests now disabled.
Can't get kextd port.
syncing disks... Killing all processes
continuing
I used my OSX 10.6 (snow leopard) disk to boot holding C... this allowed me to open up disk utility from the utilities menu. Within Disk Utility, I see my Mac OSX partition drive... When I click "Verify Disk" it gives me an error saying "Invalid extent entry. The volume could not be verified completely. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk"... When I click "Repair Disk" I get an error that says:
"Verify and Repair volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid extent entry
The volume could not be verified completely.
Volume repair complete.
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk... disk, and restore your backed-up files."
And a popup that says:
"Disk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD"   Disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files"
.... Is there anything else I can do? Again, the second partition (on the same drive) that I have called "Untitled" is home of my Windows XP partition. I'm having no trouble booting into Windows XP...
NOt sure what I can do from here. It seems the attempt to upgrade to Mavericks messed some stuff up. I am merely guessing that this is due to my drive having two partitions (one for Windows). I guess it's semi plausible that it was just a complete fluke and the drive randomly got corrupted after 5 years at the exact moment I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks, but I find that highly unlikely.

Screen interference since upgrading to OSX 10.9, MacBook Pro

The screen display on my MBP corrupts periodically so it does not display windows correctly. Usually results in interference around the edges of the windw, beneath the top menu bar or even within the menu bar.
This is a 15-inch, mid 2010 / 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 / 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 288MB
Suggestions anyone please? It will reset after I switch between screen settings.
Appears to happen if I open 2008 Mac version of Word - but not exclusively

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the support page linked above and bring it with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Sync Problems since used time machine to restore macbook pro

Hi
I had a macbook pro issues which to resolve Apple had me wipe clean my hard drive and reinstall snow leopard.
I then used time machine to reload everything.
Now I have a problem with BB DM mac.
My ical and address book are restored but when I go to syn my BB 9700 I get the following in reference to my calendar
The Previously selected items are no longer available
I am at a loss. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the BB DM and still the same. Can't sync
This is the response I got from Apple
If I understand you correctly the message you indicate is coming from the Blackberry Desktop Manager, not from Addressbook or iCal?
If that is the case you might find it advantageous to contact Blackberry as they would know how to troubleshoot their software.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed so I can do a sync.
Thanks ahead
Margie

Is the All Calendars radio button selected or Selected Calendars? I always leave the former selected as well as, under Advanced Settings, the Sync> All Events radio button. I'm hoping that the data that should be on your BB that, I assume, is not on your Mac will sync to your Mac.

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have problems with my email. Some accounts do not work. Some do.

Some accounts do work, others not. I have removed the not working accounts and than added them again, didnt fix the problem. For the record; all accounts work perfectly on my other devices, Ipad and Iphone.

Yep, everything worked fine before Mavericks. I removed the account that didnt work at all and re-installed it, didnt work. All accounts work fine on my other devices like Ipad and Iphone, so it's not in the account itself.

Messages App| connectivity issues since upgrading to Mavericks

is anyone having problems since upgrading to Mavericks with connectivity issues in the "Messages" app? Im on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I will start a desktop share session with my folks (IMAC) and within 2-3 minutes of having access to their desktop, I'm unable to control any longer and their system freezes.

HI,
When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).

Since upgrading to mavericks my macbook has lost it wi-fi connections ,won't recognize it.. it's liked it disappeared -please help..what to do

Since upgrading to maverick on my macbook, I have lost my wi-fi wireless connection to my airport time capsule and it won't let me turn it back on. All of my other comupers are working fine. My daughter upgraded her macbook pro at the same time and it is working fine. Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Thanks

When you say "it won't let me turn it back on", what exactly do you mean? Is there an error message?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
If the above does not help, make a note of your Wi-Fi settings, then try removing Wi-Fi and re-adding it, i.e. go to..
System Preferences > Network
...and click on "Wi-Fi" in the left column. Then click the minus sign at the very bottom left of this window.
Reboot and add "Wi-Fi" again by clicking the plus sign and choosing "Wi-Fi" from the drop down list.
If it's still not working, try resetting the system management controller:

MacBook Pro randomly restarting since upgrading to Mavericks. Help!

Ever since I downloaded Mavericks, my 2010 MacBook Pro is randomly restarting due to a GPU panic. I tried all the trouble shooting suggested by apple support via telephone (updating software, reinstalling mavericks, repairing disks). It is still restarting 4-5 times a day at least. I read it could be an issue with my model of MacBook, but it has been more than 3 years since I purchased it (almost 4 years). It never restarted when I was running 10.6. Why would it all of a sudden start doing this? Anyone have any luck with them replacing the hardware for free even though it was past the 3 years? Please help! I can't downgrade my operating system, as I need to run Lightroom 5 and it is not compatible with 10.6. Thank you!

tccsp11,
yes, sinve you’re getting GPU panics, your MacBook Pro is probably suffering from the defect described here. It’s a hardware defect, so the problem was always latent; one possible reason for it starting under Mavericks is that perhaps Mavericks switches to the NVIDIA GPU to perform some tasks (for better performance) that Snow Leopard didn’t switch for. One person reported that he was able to get the servicing done gratis, but he lives in Singapore, so I don’t know if e.g. Singapore consumer protection law played any part in that. If you need to run Lightroom 5, then it sounds as though you’re going to need to confirm whether your NVIDIA GPU has the defect or not, so you might as well make an appointment at your closest Apple store to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro.
