After installing Mavericks, safari and terminal launch on startup after ever reboot.

After installing Mavericks, when I boot up my computer, Safari opens to the following URL below file:///Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/iDVD%20Help/pgs /6752.html.
Also terminal also opens to /Library/Image Capture/Devices/EPSON Scanner.
I haven't been able to figure out why these two appliacatoins launch and why these locations.
Thanks
Gerald

Start with checking your loginItems and if you have any, simple remove them. Go to  > System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items.

After installing Mavericks stuck on Setting up Your Mac after restart

After installing Mavericks which was extremely slow a number of software applications also had updates. All of this took more than a day. After that my login was slow but everything worked.
The other user's log in got stuck on Setting up your Mac. Then I made mistake of going in under my own log in and changing start-up to go automatically to the other user automatically. Now I can't log myself in anymore and I am totally hung up now on Setting Up Your Mac without any access.

Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with starting up your Mac:

Shut it down by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. Hold down the Option key and start up your computer again. Keep holding down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen. Select one of the disks. After your computer starts up, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Startup Disk, and select a disk.

After installing Mavericks my computer is running very slow, After installing Mavericks my computer is running very slow

Two days ago I installed Mavericks to my MacBook Pro. The computer is very, very slow. I did not have that problem before. Also as I change between windows the whole screen is blurred with horizontal lines. Once safari, email or another app opens up it take a few minutes before I can actually use it. The cursor pauses like crazy. Quite frustrating. I checked the captibality before downloading and it met all the requirements. Help please!!

How to revert OS X back from Mavericks

After installing Mavericks Facetime and skype video calls are terrible

Hi,
I just got my GF to buy herself a Macbook air. I myself got a Macbook Pro, and we were talking on facetime no problem what so ever. The stream was flawless, splendid infact! But then it happend, I saw that there was a new OSX available. Right away I said to my GF that there was a new update. And we should upgrade ASAP, to see the new features and what not. Going to be great I said. Never have I been more wrong. We continued facetiming troughout the download fase. And was not having any issues. But when we initiated the installation and after the reboot and the "amazing" mavericks OSX was installed. I called her back to continue the conversation. It was a complete disaster, she could only hear a few words of what I was saying. sometimes I got a hole sentence through without beeing broken off. Never lost the conection, just falling in and out. Tried calling with the new just talk feature without any luck.
How can it be that something that was working perfectly, no is completly broken. I tried using skype instead, even with worse videoquality the conversations were a nightmare. So my final solution was! Relogging with bootcamp, and logged on windows 7. poped up skype, and it ran FLAWLESSLY for HOURS. no interuptions what so ever.
So what I'm asking. I want to go back to facetime, and that lovely video quality that you offer. Has anyone experienced the same issue, and found a fix for this if I may say embarresing problem. This shouldn't be a issue at all. Not when it was working flawlessly before.
Have allready tried rebooting and pressing "cmd" + "r" and doing a reinstall of Mavericks, did not do me any good.
I do appreciate all the help I can get. I'm desperate!
Regards
Desperate facetime user whos been forced to use windows and skype

Hi,
Did you delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist ?
I would also try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this is used by both FaceTime and iMessages.
If none of those work I would open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities and use the Repair Keychain in the App Menu.

anyone else have the same problem? and if so, what is being done about it??

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. For Snow Leopard, start your Mac while holding the c key with its original OS X Install DVD inserted in its optical drive. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:

Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
Some users have reported an SMC reset to be beneficial. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

Why system is very slow after installing Mavericks

After installing mavericks my system becom very slow. startup also very slow. when i open an application it spins. what should i need to do

Launch the Console 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Safari locks up after installing Mavericks

Ever since I installed Mavericks, Safari locks up (rainbow pinwheel) when I try to quit the application. I tried the Glims uninstall mentioned elsewhere on here to no avail. This has been going on since the Mavericks launch a month or so ago. I've never had this problem with Safari before. Any advice?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive. These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated,
Thank you!

After instaling mavericks terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore

after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore...
What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

After loading Maverick iTunes will not launch. I get an error code: -45054. I am the administrator and have no groups or guests. Sharing options don't fix this. Als Fetch will not launch, I get error code: SSL error 9807. These worked perfectly befor

After loading Maverick iTunes will not launch. I get an error code: -45054. I am the administrator and have no groups or guests. Sharing options don't fix this. Also Fetch will not launch, I get error code: SSL error 9807. These worked perfectly before installing Maverick. Also everything that loads, all programs, take twice as long to load. I have MacKeeper and have cleaned and discarded all the garbage.

Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

After installing Maverick I can no longer highlight multiple emails the same way in orden out my mailbox I highlight a message,hold down my mouse and drag my cursor to highlight more messages. I click "delete" & they go to trash. How do I do this again?

After installing Maverick on my 2011 MacBookPro I can no longer highlight multiple emails in the same manner. To clean out my Inbox I highlighted a message, held my mouse down & dragged my cursor down through all the messages I wanted to delete (or move to another mailbox, or other functions) highlighting as many messages as I wanted. I then clicked "delete" & they went to trash. Such a great way to clean out a lot of messages at once. Can I and/or how do I do this again? Or is this something Maverick has eliminated? I also hate that "Notes" is no longer on the Mail page, but this is not as important. Help!!

Put differenltly, if I can drag select multiple items and objects on my desktop, which I can, using my Kensington Track Ball (which has an enabled updated software driver in place, so I don't think there's a problem there), why can't I click-drag-multipleselect emails in mail like I have *always* been able to? Really, what is the problem here? Why is that no longer possibler? I'm not a coder, but I can't believe this isn't fixable. Here, Apple should be ashamed of itself, regardless of the fact that there's an easy work around. When I have to alter the way I have been doing something for years and have to waste time learning something new and complaining about it -- like right now! -- and there's no good technical reason, and I bet there isn't, then Apple has simply failed.
