Permissions issue after Mavericks upgrade

I have just updated an early 2008 IMac with OSX Mavericks.
All software running fine, but I noticed occassionally I was getting an authentication prompt on some files, didn't follow, but simply authenticated as and when I need to, I assumed it was when I moved files from my Mac Pro to my Imac.
Having run the upgrade however, I get an error message to contact the vendor (Battlefront) as my copy of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy has lost its license.
After the upgrade I had also purchased from the same vendor Combat Mission Fortress Italy. Having downloaded this and gone to run after copying to applications, this software gives me an error message saying unknown developer so I have got no where near installing a license.
Having contacted the vendor and tried to get a work around, I am now getting the message it is you Mac not our software, despite the fact that all my other software is working fine (and the fact that the Combat Mission Battle for Normandy game worked fine until the upgrade).
I do feel some sympathy for them, I do think the Mac has some sort of permission issue - I also probably compounded this by deleting a user which I did not recognise called 'wheel' which I suspect now is some form of default permisison.
Anyone got any ideas, how do I 'reset' the system - I have tried fixing the permissions through disk utility.
My vendor got me to run a sudo command through Terminal, but I got the message...
sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

Bootcamp Issues after Mavericks Upgrade

I was happily running ML, Win 7 and VMware Fusion on a MBP Mid 2010 then decided to upgrade to Mavericks. After sucessfully performing the upgrade and updating Fusion to the latest version I found that the Win 7 VM would throw an "operation failed on rdisk0s4 " after around 10 minutes. I can boot into Win 7 and it runs fine but won't in the VM. I thought it may be a Fusion problem so I installed Parallels and it has the same issue. I'm assuming the Mavericks upgrade did something to the Bootcamp partition. Disk Utility shows the Bootcamp partition and everything looks ok. I did notice that in Disk Utility the partition is named Bootcamp but after the VM failure it is named rdisk0s4.
Could the partition name be part of the issue here? i've seen some issues with others losing the Bootcamp partition from the boot menu after a Mavericks upgrade but not this problem.
I have a Winclone backup of the Win 7 partition but it's not that recent and now Winclone fails on the creation of a clone process. Somehow I don't think restoring a Winclone backup is going to sort this out. I'd appreciate some expert opinions on this problem.

The size of the MS Data should be roughly the sum of the 'gap' (107,422,440) and GPT 4 (86,753,280), which is roughly 90+ GB. Your current disk0s4 is about 45GB. In Testdisk you should skip the smaller 6174 and 28800 or similar sized entries.

Speaker issue after Mavericks Upgrade

I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac Pro (mid 2010 ver.)
Now when I try to listen to Pandora, iTunes, or anything that pushes sound thru the O/S, the sound "jumps" between my Bose 5 companion computer speakers (USB) and the internal Mac Pro speakers.
Additionally, when I go to Preferences-----Sound, you can literally see the O/S jumping back and forth to these two rows "Built In Internal Speakers" and "Bose USB Audio USB". More specifically, you will hear the music thru the Bose speakers and then about every 20 seconds (sometimes it goes for over a minutes) it will "beeeeeeep" and then jump to the Mac Pro internal speakers.
I tried deleting the two .plist files as previous mentioned in past threads with no luck. Before I upgraded to Mavericks I never had ANY sound/speaker issues what so ever.
Any suggestions? Thank you

IMovie Issue after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded my iMac 2009 to Mavericks today. I updated all the user accounts for format changes to Mail, iPhoto and iMovie. What a pain. I don't recall this being an issue before (I was running Lion) but iMovie now only lets one user run iMovie at a time. A dialog pops up stating "You can't open the application "iMove.app" because someone else is using it. Ask the other user to quit the application, and then try again." Was this always like this? It's kind of funny to have an app that behaves like this. Does anyone know what wrong? Operator or System error? Thanks.

Battery issues after Mavericks upgrade

After upgrading to Mavericks I got Service Battery error (at just 99 cycles) and my battery life dropped to about half (in actual time).
Is that a known issue? What should I do

Try a SMC reset:

Email issues after Mavericks upgrade

After upgrading to Mavericks, email in Macmail does not load automatically. Have checked the box for automatic in preferences, but still a no go. Mail will also not load after "sleep" without a manual selection to get mail.
Worked just fine under Mountain Lion.
Did not see any solutions in this forum for my problem.

POP for regular and IMAP for Gmail.

After Mavericks upgrade, apps using iCloud hang

I had earlier posted in the iWork forum about issues using Pages etc after Mavericks upgrade
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5618268?tstart=90
However, the problem is more general. It seems that any app that uses iCloud to store data or documents hangs when trying to reference iCloud.
Not all iCloud services are broken, just apps storing data and documents. For example, Safari bookmarks are still syncing fine over iCloud. I can go to my iPhone and see my current tabs all listed.
However, any app that references iCloud data storage becomes unresponding. This includes TextEdit, iWork suite, Pixelmator, and others.
When I go into the System Preferences, and choose iCloud and look at the "Documents & Data" it is checked on but clicking "options" lists NO apps in the list of apps that store data in iCloud. I have turned this back on and off without change. I have also reinstalled both Pages 4.3 and Pages 5.0.1 and nothing changes here. I have also reinstalled Mavericks (on top of existing) multiple times without any change in this setting.
If I go to manage my iCloud account for Documents & Data I can see apps listed (OS X and iOS) and existing documents that are in my iCloud storage, so the iCloud account is active and working and I can "manage" it from my Mac.
This is a MacPro3,1 and has 10.9 and all updates that have come out since. It was upgraded from 10.8.4 and that was upgraded (with intermediate 10.8.x) from 10.7.x which had been upgraded from 10.6.x) etc.

The suggestion by Linc Davis here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5028839?start=15&tstart=0) fixed the issue for me.

How do I fix aLaCie Backup Drive that runs constantly after Maverick upgrade

LaCie backup drive for time machine runs constaantly after Maverick upgrade. This is using resources and slows the processor

After installing Mavericks on my one year old iMac (loaded) Time Machine failed (Pegasus Promise Thunderbolt 3TB). I tried unmounting it, didn't work. Rebooted: Time Machine failed again [Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Machine”. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.] was the only message. Had to reboot to get Pegusus accessible again. Tried re-intalling Maverick (old Microsoft thing... reintall the OS). Didin't do anything for Time Machine, same failure. Booted into safe mode: nothing, same probelm. Repaired permissions: no joy there either. So, now have no Time Machine backups at all. And Time Machine won't work with the Pegasus. [same error message after 30 min or so every time]. ordinary file saves work fine though.
Ideas please?

Connectivity speed plummet after Mavericks upgrade

I ran a speed test from my iMac (2.66 GHz Intel core 2 Duo) after Mavericks upgrade and I'm only getting 0.06 Mbps download over 5g WiFi with a 20 Mbit Time Warner Turbo Cable account.
The App Store app seems not to respond either when attempting to download updates.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

I have experienced the same issues since the official release of Mavricks. I have even had my cable provider out to swap my modem. In all of my testing... the issue is clearly Mavricks. I have incredable speeds on all devices exept my mac no that Mavricks was installed.
We are talking a 500-700% difference in speeds. This was not always the case and has only been an issue on the 1 machine since the upgrdade.
When I find that my speeds are crippled, a restart of the wifi adapter will usually fix the issue for the time being. It WILL return with in a few hrs to 24 hrs.... unacceptable in my book.
I have since upgraded another mac on my network and we will see if it suffers the same fate.

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

Hey there sarunelis,
It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

Finder Functions Hanging After Mavericks Upgrade

iMac has been hanging when executing finder functions. E.G. saving from web, saving to different location other than application/system default, printing/saving as pdf, or attaching files to webmail/mail/outlook/webpages. Performance was great, pretty much flawless and started after Mavericks upgrade. Have done everything suggested from Apple support or 3rd party forums. Repaired permissions, cleared cache, cleared pram, turned off log-in items not needed, restored OS, etc., nothing has worked. I am ready to reformat and start from scratch. Anyone have the same experience and found a solution?

Might be corrupted Finder preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, check the startup disk for errors.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery

Cant surf web after maverick upgrade

Cant surf with Mozilla or Safari after maverick upgrade. I have a regular macbook 2009ish model with 4gb of ram. 60gb of free hard drive space.
Went from snow leapord to 10.6 to Maverick 10.8
Have valid I.P. address, hooked directly to modem to no avail.
Other laptop macbook pro works.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue with Safari and Google Chrome. Some web pages open really fast while others just hang up and park itself. It's almost a mirror image of the iMessage experience I was having prior to the ios 7 7.0.3 release. Safari is also not loading web pages on my Ipad either. Some sites it will. Some sites it won't. I've changed my Airport Express settings to us Google DNS as well and it didn't matter. Frustrating.

Performance Issues after an Upgrade

Hello!
We are experiencing performance issues after we upgraded to a new version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1). At this point, I am not too sure about the actual causes for this degrade in performance but I am trying to narrow down the causes and need your inputs. Please help me with your ideas.
1) What could be the causes/factors for the performance to degrade after an upgrade?
2) Does the performance of a script depend on the user credentials i.e. who is launching the script? Whether it’s the super admin of the application/application owner or an application specific admin?
3) Does the performance of the scripts depend on the place you are launching it from? For example - will the performance differ if it’s launched from MaxL Vs EAS?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
- Krrish

There are a number of bugs 12600557, 12675485, 12669814, 12698488 logged in for 11.1.2.1 - If you use Internet Explorer 8 and have data forms designed to use a large number of sparse dimension members in rows or columns, you may experience performance degradation when opening the data forms.
This has been fixed in Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.1 Patch Set Update (PSU): 11.1.2.1.101 which is available on My Oracle Support as Patch 12666861.
HTH-

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port. Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device. I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks. The drive does work using USB. It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!
