10.9 Mavericks - Repeating updates

Installed the new OS over Mountain Lion and all went well on my Macbook Pro (Core i7, 8GB Ram, 15inch Mid 2010).
After that the usual updates and all looked good - but now the iWorks suite keeps on updateing - over and over - it started with Keynote repeating and now all three. How do I stop this from happening?I am eating data and having no joy!
Any suggestions as to what has gone wrong?
Any help would be appreciated
Brett

The apple website, I got the 30 day trial. I had 10.8 for my mac before, but I downloaded FCP and it said I needed 10.9. So I realized I needed to update for numerous other things, so I updated to 10.9. I then went to apple.com and got the free trial. After it finished downloading, it said it didn't recognize the disk image. Should I try redownloading? Thanks!

Bug in Latest Mavericks Security Update???

I just installed the very latest Mavericks Security Update as instructed. It was about 500+ MB and took 20 or so minutes to upload and then required a restart to complete installation, which was done. After restart you are asked if you wanted to login to iCloud, etc. the MacBook worked just fine. I shut down normally.
Several hours later upon boot up I first got a "security" warning about only using Apple software. It asks for acknowledgement = ok.
After rebooting the Apple logo shows as normal and the circular progress wheel spins but it never gets to login screen.
What is going on Apple???
Any suggestion fellow Mac users????

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. 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. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

I found the update function for Genius which is hidden in the Store menu but not in the actually Store. I repeatedly update Genius, get the message that it is communicating with Apple, then that Genius is updated but it never works. What gives?

Repeted updates to Genius do nothing. I always get an error message for all 13,000 songs I have. My disc drive crashed and its taken months to reload click by click every song from the cloud or my computer. iTunes repeatedly crashes if you try to load more than about 50 songs at a time, and always crashes around the 200th song. All my playlists were erased and when I synch one of my two iPods everything on that was erased including all the play lists, I don't ever want to synch my other iPod because it still has dozens of my play lists that it took years to create based on 13,000 songs. So warning iTunes totally ***** if this ever happens to you. My Zune account on the other hand was fine. Anyway back to the question at hand - Genius use to work for my collection. Genius still works for the iPod which I will never synch again, why doesn't it work for my collection now despite repeated updates. Suppose its just another buggy Apple piece of software. BTW don't ever use Apple's iCloud it eats your entire music collection, erases it from you computer and then doles it out one click at a time from the cloud - another stupid piece of software from the geniuses at Apple. But why am I surprised Apple destroyed the record industry, so why not destroy everyone's CD collection and just reduce us all to slaves of iTunes and its magic. I'm sick of Apple and its bloated reputation for great software.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install (Version 7.7.1). Does it go through properly this time?

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

It will not download if you already have it.
Just to be 100% clear …
Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
Can you also tell us what system you have?
Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

Mavericks OSX update did a clean install instead. HELP recover lost files.

HT6030 Mail attachment folders after latest Mavericks Mail update

Following the latest Mavericks Mail update, does anyone know how to stop a new folder being generated for each attachment?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

New Maverick's Update coming?

Will Apple release a new Maverick's update to correct the problems caused by 10.9.5? Many Macbook Pro and Macbook Air users are reporting slower processing speeds since installing the latest Maverick's software.

Please log problem reports directly with Apple, providing diagnostics, console logs or other details around the slowness as appropriate. (Checking the logs via Console.app is fairly typical, and can show aberrant behavior that might be occurring — every OS X upgrade tends to tip over a few systems, that's just the nature of the number of and complexity of the systems in use.)
As for when or even if Apple might deign to release a new version of OS X, this is a user forum — most of the folks here don't know, and the rest can't say.
FWIW, I'm running 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro, and haven't noticed any issues.

MacBook Pro - mavericks - software update - install frozen?

This week's Mavericks 'security' update install approaching 2.5 hours... Anyone else's MacBook Pro taken that long? Wondering if it's frozen and if there is anything that can be done (in spite of the warning that interrupting the install could damage the computer)?
Thanks for any intel/advice.

Not normal. Shutdown and restart.

Why am I getting repeated updates to Version 3.6.10?

I have two machines on which for a couple of weeks or more I seemed to getting very frequent updates. I finally started looking at the version number and it had not changed.
repeated updates to the same 3.6.10 version followed by very annoying attempt by Adobe to trick me into installing McAfee. You will find hundreds of complaints if you search the Adobe forums for McAfee. Why are you repeated updating to the save version? Please convey my complaint to Adobe.

Try the methods shown in this article - [[Updates reported when running newest version]]
If you wish to complain about Adobe you need to contact them yourself. People who answer questions here are mainly volunteers, not Mozilla employees.

Can't install Mavericks Mail Update

I've a short question regarding the Mavericks Mail Update from Yesterday. The update was not visible throught the Mac App Store, I only received the iBooks Update. So I Downloaded it manually here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1703 But after starting the installation I receive the following error:
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks

Okay, I found the problem. I have the OS X 10.9 GM Build (13A598). And there is a later GM Build (13A603). I think that's the problem. I will update to this build and check it out.
Go to te App Store and update to the Delta download.

Mavericks software update stole my contacts!

Hello,
I just today ran the latest Mavericks software update (10.9.1) when it popped up on my MacBook, and all seemed well until I opened my contacts app --- and all 50 or so of my contacts are missing! So, 2 questions:
1. Has anyone else had this problem with the update?
2. How do I restore my contacts without having to re-type all of them in, one at a time? I have them in iCloud and ony my iPhone, but do not know how to import them into my MacBook's contacts app.
Thanks in advance!

On your Mac, backup your calendar:
Fire up Calendar.
File > Export > Export > Calendar Archive… to create a Calendar archive. This backup shouldn't be needed and is only a precaution.
Quit Calendar.
 > System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Calendars > Delete from Mac
(Don’t worry, you have an archive backup.)
Check Calendars > Merge.
Fire up Calendar.
Does it match the events you see in iCloud.com?

Mavericks Software update "iTunes" stuck installing

I can't select the app icon as it is under the Mavericks software update tab and not installing as it's own app. It is stuck on "installing-calculating..." not sure what I can do to get it moving. iTunes won't open as it says its being updated but nothing is actually happening.

Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and drag the file to your desktop. Then restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches. While you are in Safe Mode then try to Software Update and install the update. Then restart normally.
If you are not sure how to get to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist simply open a Finder window click the Go Menu and copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist into Go to Folder....
