OS X Mavericks 10.9 Problems

I upgraded my OS  from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, ever since I have just been having problems.
- Apple Mail application with my Gmail account doesn't QUIT even when I select QUIT from the taskbar. I have to FORCEQUIT the application just to shutdown my computer.
- iMessage asks me to login everytime I put the computer on
- WIFI loses signal very easily
PLEASE HELP
MACBOOK PRO 17" LATE 2011 i7 Quadcore with 8Gb RAM

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
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. 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. Post your results.
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 combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Does  Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

    Does  Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

    I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
    I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
    To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

  • I'm working mostly with CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X. Can I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks without any problems?

    Can I update to Mavericks without any problems for CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X?

    I can't guarantee it, but I think it's very likely you'll have no problems. Mavericks is now up to 10.9.3, and it's extremely stable.

  • Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email.  Why?!

    Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email.  Why?!

    For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem.  I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail.  I did the conversion while running Yosemite.  I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!!  The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space.  The message begins at the top of p.2.
    If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message.  Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message. 
    Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem??  I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message.  So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
    Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired.  Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!!  Anyone else made any progress on this?

  • Aperture 3.5 + Mavericks external storage problems

    Aperture 3.5 + Mavericks external storage problems
    After upgrading to 3.5 and Mavericks, all my projects referencing files stored on NAS show blurry or black and not responding to edit commands. Sometimes Aperture crashes. The projects/photos were okay before upgrade. Also new projects on NAS show blurry or black or fail totally to import photos. If I move the same photos to the local drive, everything is just fine.
    I am using NFS to access the NAS.
    Reading through this forum I found some reports of similar behavior from people storing photos on USB external drives.
    This seems to be only when referencing files located on an external drive. No problems if files are copied to the Aperture library.
    Any similar experience?

    Referenced files on a NAS was always an gray area. While it worked for most users most of the time it wasn;t clear that Apple supported the configuration.
    The Apple documents on Aperture and non-locally attached drives can be read in a number of different ways. Of course the library definitely had to be on a local drive (and even here some users reported success with the library on a NAS) but referenced masters were never explicitly mentioned either way.
    Most users had success with the originals on a NAS but even with earlier version of Aperture and the OS there were always the occasional report of problems. When push-came-to -shove if moving the referenced originals to a local drive fixed the problems there wasn;t much else that could be done.
    Since the release of 3.5 and Mavericks it does appear that referenced originals on a NAS do not work at all in most cases.  The best we can do here, being just users like yourself, is to suggest you contact Apple and try to get through to the Aperture team and see if you can get a definitive answer.
    As for problems with referenced originals on locally connected drives, I'm not aware of any widespread problems. In the few cases I've seen it has come down to some issue with the OP's system.
    Having your whole workflow and setup knocked out from under you like this is really bad, unfortunately there isn't much anyone here can do for this problem.

    When I use PSCS5 after having upgraded to Mavericks I have problems when I use the RAW converter. The glider for  exposure goes back to sero, hven I use the glider for fill in light, that means that my PSCS5 program not can be used. What do I do?

  • Post mavericks update freezing problem

    I am apparently another who has had their awesome Macbook pro 5.5 mid 2009 corrupted by an update to Mavericks, or something. It is beyond my skill set to figure it out. Can anyone help? Please!
    Specifics found below in the Etrecheck output.
    History:
    Running OSX 10.5 happily.
    Decided to upgrade to be more secure so upgraded memory (which passed memtest 5 times through) from 2 - 8 gigs.
    Purchased the 10.6 upgrade Disc and then did online update to Mavericks.
    Problem after upgrade...Especially but not entirely when under battery power (Battery at less than 500 cycles and working well) I get complete freezing aside from blue vertical lines on part of the screen. Must do a hard shutdown after this.
    Attempted solutions:
    Using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC)- reinstalled older backup of drive after an erase. I was shocked that the problem was still there as this sent me back to OSX 10.6.
    Tested memory with memtest and all was good for more than 5 cycles.
    Set uo an external drive with 10.6 and then mavericks and ran this for about a week with no problems. I then transfered this back to the onboard drive after erasing it with CCC and the problems returned.
    I thought it was only with battery power but this proved not to be the case, although it does freeze much less often when plugged in.
    I have tried the PRAM resets etc to no avail.
    Any help would be much aporeciated as would some assurance that perhaps a newer version of OSX might work in the future.
    Please note. This is my partnes's computer and she is less than impressed with my "upgrade".
    Cheers and have a great day.

    Your report looks clean to me, sorry it doesn't indicate any obvious signs of old software that could be breaking the OS.
    The only thing that would concern me is the lack of free space on the boot disk 23GB is close to the minimum. Ideally I'd like a little more maybe 30-40GB. Spinning disks perform slower as they become more full so that may not help performance, however it doesn't explain the freezing/ lines on screen.
    Your tests seem to indicate something wrong with the internal disk (it worked OK for a week on external, but the same OS dies on the internal?). Was the restored OS 10.6 or 10.9?
    Are any of these systems 'clean installs'? If not I'd consider using the Mavericks installer to 'reinstall' 10.9.3 over the top of the current OS. By default it only overwrites the OS files so the use data & apps should remain in place (a backup is still needed before you do this). Another option is to reinstall just a clean OS to see if the internal disk can work at all.
    You can also start combing the logs for info (or hope Linc Davis appears here with some commands to parse the logs).
    Start testing the disk (check the SMART status in Disk Utility).
    Apple Hardware Test https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509 (it may not tell you much)
    Repair the disk via Recovery mode.
    Since you suspect it is related to the battery…

  • Mavericks, Photoshop CS6 problem

    Here is a question.
    I have
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
              iMac - model: iMac11,1
              1 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU: 4 cores
              16 GB RAM
    and
              Apple Cinema Display
    When I have TWO files open in TWO SEPARATE display and use the option key in Photoshop CS6 (any Photoshop) to MASK the layer, WHY IT JUMP FROM ONE FILE TO ANOTHER (from one screen to another)??
    Guess what, I use this option for the last 15 years...
    Can you help me with that?

    genemoz wrote:
    You don't need CS6 for that,
    Anyway, when you copy the layer (Command J), then do any adjustments...then you point your cursor at the bottom of the layers where you have little icons: 'Add the layer style', 'Add the layer mask', 'Create new fill or adjustment layer', etc.
    So you point the cursor at the 'Add the layer mask' icon, hold 'option' key and click on that icon, and here we go, you have the mask (in any Photoshop)
    Now, again...when you have two monitors and two files, you are working on one of them and keep the other as a reference. So when you click your mask, it goes to the reference image...How wierd is that??
    I'm so tired of Mavericks problems, everything is a problem, starting with Photoshop, Firefox -  any internet browser is slow...
    Please tell me, do I have to go 15 years back to Windows again??
    My productive time now is 50 % slower because I have to fix Mavericks problems...
    This is third week that I have no positive results!
    Thx
    when I do this, I get a black mask (instead of the default white one)... The project I'm working on doesn't switch.
    I don't work the way you do, and always have PS in the application frame, which I can then tile all active projects in it (in references to you having a reference image and a working image).
    It's not a Mavericks issue, it's a user issue. have you tried to update CS6?

  • Paused Mavericks download a problem?

    Will a paused Mavericks download affect a subsequent disk copy I wish to quickly make with Super Duper!?
    Just read the problems encountered. Apology for this naiive question!

    The copy will also have a paused download.
    It shouldn't be a problem to resume the download, or delete it and start anew.

    Open the Mac App Store.
    From the Store menu, choose Sign In.

  • New Os X Mavericks and trackpad problem

    Hi everybody, yesterday i have installed maverick in my macbook white 2010. Today, after didn't use my mac for 20 hours, the trackpad is going crazy. It moves and click alone without any human contact. Can maverik create this problem?
    Sorry for the bad english!

    yep, I installed Mavericks earlier today, 27" 2011 imac, trackpad has no double tap smart zoom now, freezes whenever i attempt to swipe back to previous pages, really annoying as this is all pretty much second nature to me now so it involves having to close and reopen safari. This after i spent an hour on the phone to Apple support this afternoon after installing Mavericks due to an infuriating keychain assistant glitch. Not impressed.

  • Mavericks and photoshop problem

    Using photoshop CS3 in Mavericks and I get a ‘can't save file because it is already in use or was left open’ message when I try and save a photoshop file.
    Found a fix online which is to turn off ‘Show preview column’ in show view options, but this is a pain because I like to have the preview with image and file info.
    Is there a way around this, seems a strange way to get around this problem.

    Resetting Photoshop Preferences has been known to solve Photoshop printing problems, especially when you have no problems printing from other Mac apps.
    Hold down cmd-opt-shift while starting Photoshop and click Yes when the reset dialog comes up.

  • Has Yosemite fixed Maverick's Mail problem with Group email addresses?

    Does anyone know if Yosemite has fixed the problem that Maverick's Mail program had with Contacts? Maverick's Mail program cannot show Group Address names in the email "To:" window. By default, it shows all of the email addresses in a Group rather than the Group name. The work-around requires putting Group Addresses in the "Bcc:" window. Has that problem been fixed in Yosemite?
    Many thanks,
    Bob Winckler

    Hi Barney,
    Just found out that Maverick's problem with Mail's Group address procedure has resulted in my email accounts being put on hold by my Internet Provider. I'm the president of a local club, and I routinely send out emails to 200+ email addresses several times a month. Since Maverick's Mail now doesn't keep Group addresses hidden when shown in the email "To:" window, we have to put those Group addresses into the "Bcc:" window.  The first couple of times that I did that, the emails went through, but the third time that I tried to send out such an email, my Internet Provider shut down my email account with the statement "Your ability to send new mail has been suspended as a high volume of suspicious mail has been sent from your account recently. Please contact your IT administrator."  The IT administrator required me to run a virus check and then set a new password for my account before they would reactivate it. In my discussions with several of my Internet Provideer's tech reps, it appears that the way the way that the Internet Provider has their server's security system set, a high volume of email addresses in the "Bcc:" section of emails is enough to shut down an account as suspicious. Until Apple gets this problem fixed, my only options are to switch internet providers (after finding one that will let high volumes of "Bcc:" go through) or switch to an older Mac operating system, which I've done (now using an ancient iMac 400DV running Tiger (OS 10.4.11).  Given the high number of businesses, etc., likely to be using Macs, I'm really surprised that Apple has let this problem with Maverick's Mail program go uncorrected.
    Best regards,
    Bob W

  • Pages (Mavericks) File Icons Problem

    My mother-in-law brought this problem to my attention.
    The icons of all the Pages files (both "created" files as well as templates are shown as seen in the attachment - the icon has a block of "distorted" color below it.
    Not sure if this was a side effect of the Mavericks upgrade or what.
    Any ideas how to fix these icons?

    I haven't observed this, has anyone else?
    Usual a hashed graphic is a sign of either graphics card problems, or a failed render routine.
