After 10.9.3 update MacBook Air 11" trackpad secondary click won't respond at all?
Hello!
I updated to 10.9.3 earlier this week on my MacBook Air 11" and things were running smoothly but then this morning I was cleaning up my bookmark folders and tried to use the secondary click on my trackpad (right-click, which is set to the bottom of the trackpad) it would not respond. I closed out of what I was doing and I tried to close applications on the dock using the secondary click method as I have in the past and it just does not respond.
I made sure I had it selected in system preferences as the method to use on the track pad after check it out in different applications. Unselected it reselected it. No change.
This macbook had been restarted a couple of times since the update too.
I don't get how it will work and then not work. So lame.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
The full release of 10.9.3 is available from App Store now. You can re download the full version from your Purchase tab in App Store. After download there will be Install OSX Maverics in Applications folder. Before installing OSX on top of the one on your system, copy the a install aoSX Mavericks to your external drive or any location. You can copy it to Applications folder for reinstall after that if you want.
The new download will be 10.9.3. Before doing so, please try to boot into safe boot, by holding shift key and power on. Try your secondary mouse click to see if it work. If it is the same, then it will be driver corruption, try reinstall will help.

After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep
after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.
Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 2
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 3
▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again. -
Updated MacBook Air or MBP with Retina Display?
Hello guys.
I am planning to buy a Macbook, but I don't know which model.
Actually, I am thinking of buying the updated MacBook Air 13 inches, 256 GB Flash Storage etc, because it is really really slim and it has just updated , so it would be a purchase that would last as "the new model" for a longer time.
On the other hand, the model I really like is the MBP with Retina Display, but my problem is that I assume it will be updated soon. I was hoping that it would be updated during the Apple's last keynote(as it happened with the Air model) but this didn't happen.
I want to hear your thoughts. Is the MBP with Retina Display so much more powerful than the new MacBook Air that would worth the time waiting for an updated model to come?
I am really looking forward to buying a MacBook for myself , but should I wait for the updated model of MBP with Retina Display or go straight ahead and buy the updated MacBook Air model?
Thanks in advanced for your answers!No one has any thoughts? :-(

Yes, I've done it some minutes ago.
I have backup of all my info on external drive and in Google Drive. Just what I want - delete unnecessary data from my small MacBook Air drive.

After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on "uploading cache", it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it, but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on? Where are my photos now? How can I upload photos from my camera without iPhoto?
Is there a better app?
Thanks, ChrisTake the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?
Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
Troubleshooting an external hard drive
> Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
> Restart the computer
> Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
> Plug it into a different USB port
If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
Checking a disk with Disk Utility
To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
> Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
> Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
> Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.

My ipod touch needed to be updated so I did and now it won't turn on all it does is show the itunes icon and says toconnect it to itunes so I did and let it be updated and now it wont turn on and I tried resetting but nothing changed.
Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
