After Mac OS X Mavericks upgrade native apple apps stopped working

I cannot use app store, or preview or mail. The launch pad is blank with no icons for all the native apple apps.  Google Sync servcies keep crashing as well. Please help

Are you running Google Drive? if so, uninstall it.
If not try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Don’t just “hide” them by checkmark.
Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours. Then log out and back in or restart and test.

  • After i updated to mavericks, my usb ethernet adapter stopped working.

    I'm not sure why, but when I updated my software to mavericks, my USB ethernet adapter stopped working.

    I'm using that adapter:
    http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail.php?pd_id=445&pl1_id=5&pl2_id=26
    After I updated to Mavericks, I installed the driver in this page, but it didn't work. Then I googled "AX88772" which is my adapter's part no. or something like that, and I installed that one:
    http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=97
    I wasn't expecting that work but that did work. So, I think the solution of the problem is finding the right driver. I hope you solve your problem too.

  • Most of Apple apps stopped working!!!! HELP!

    after I upgraded lion ro maverick, most of apple apps such as app store, terminal, calendar, etc stopped working, it is freaking me out, any one can help please?

    I had this problem too (and with Mail).
    Restart computer, then immediately hold down OPTION so you can start from the 10.9 RECOVERY DISK.
    Run DISK UTILITY, then run REPAIR DISK, then run REPAIR DISK PERMISIONS.
    After this, RESTART, then hold COMMAND OPTION P R at the same time until your computer restarts three times.
    After it boots up, attempt to run your apps.

    after installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly? I've already rebuilt the mailboxes with no change in the problem. What else can I do???

    Hi as2020,
    If you are having issues with Mail in Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent release. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

    Dear All,
    I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
    That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
    I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
    Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
    Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
    Thank you in advance!
    Olek

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Using third party keyboards in native Apple apps on iOS 8

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5S, running iOS 8(and recently installed 8.0.2).  I was excited about getting to use third-party keyboards, but for some reason it is not working for me.  For whatever reason, I can use these keyboards (I've tried many, all to the same effect) in other apps such as Chrome or Facebook, but on any of the native Apple apps (Notes, Reminders, but especially Messages and Mail where typing is most needed) I am unable to select them.  In fact, the little globe you click and hold to make the different keyboards come up isn't even on my keyboard.  I've looked around a little and tried some fixes (uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting all other keyboards, restarting the phone, turning off AssistiveTouch, etc.) but have had no luck.  Has anyone else experienced this, and more importantly, has anyone found a solution?  I was hoping the 8.0.2 might address it but nothing has changed.
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same issue. IPhone 5S has third party keyboards working in safari but not other apps (8.02). IPad with 8.02 has them working everywhere. Any ideas?

  • After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working.

    After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working and I cannot reinstall them at the Appstore giving me a message that I have already purchased them. I can see all the apps, click on them, but none of them will open. How can I make them work again, since the Appstore will not allow me to reinstall the apps? The only apps that are working are the ones pre-installed by the upgrade.

    Try downloading any free app using the App Store on the phone.

    System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

  • I've got an apple 3TB time capsule.  It was working fine until we moved to a new house.  The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working.  Now will not pick up signal.  What happened what do I do?

    What signal is it picking up? Are you joining wireless network? If so don't.. it is really poor way to run things.
    Is it connected to a cable modem? Full router or just a modem type?
    Try a reset?
    Plug in via ethernet.. turn off everything.. wait 5min then restart cable modem.. if that doesn't work, give it a longer off cycle.. 15min or overnight.
    We need more info.

  • AirPlay mirror on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google conversation is started (iOS 7)

    I thought it would be nice to see Skype contacts on the large screen and realised this should be possible using my Apple TV, but AirPlay (in mirror mode) on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google + conversation is started after showing all right on the TV till that point. I'm using iOS 7 and the problem occurs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. Facetime seems to be OK, and Skype works over Apple TV when using my daughter's MacBook Pro (though I haven't tried Google + on it), so I deduce that the issue is with iOS 7. I have had success one or twice with using Skype in this manner on my iPhone so it is not consistant, but this is rare and hasn't happened in my latest attempts. Unfortunately some of my Skype contacts don't have an Apple device so I often can't use Facetime.
    Is there a work around, or has Apple acknowledged this issue and said there will be a fix?

    Same problem here.
    iPhone 5s + apple TV + Skype all are up to date. Mirroring is working until the video signal starts, after that the Apple TV goes back to the Apple TV starting screen.

    Hi Anis289,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:

  • I have iPhone 5S after updating to IOS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working!!!!

    After updating to IPS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working, it's just a black screen.

    Hello Darth Evans,
    The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone's camera working again.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    Thank you For your time and thoughts!
    I went by the Apple Store and they told me that there was a "Flat Rate" repair service for this particular part where they would replace the logic board along with the USB ports for $350. Seems like best avenue. All of this would have been moot but my wifi in the computer also doesn't work so I was using my phone as a hot spot and tethering it to the computer for Internet access when the last port quit. This left me with no internet and no printing capabilities on the computer I use for my business. Basically became a nice paperweight. lol
    They will ship it off Monday and I should have it back Thursday!
    Again, thank you!
