After Mavericks installation - window "Optimizing Your Mac" does not disappear. Nothing seems to be happening. Can I close it?

Can I close "Optimizing Your Mac" that appears on startup after installation of Mavericks?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mavericks is installed and runs well, but how long should I keep the small windows "Optimizing Your Mac" ? It has been now one month!!!

Small window "Optimizing your Mac" (see below) has been on my Desktop for over a month now.
How long should I keep it (... without "impacting the performance or the battery life")?

Closing it when it first appeared wouldn't have stopped the 'optimization' so you could have closed it any time and can do so now - in any case optimization will have long since completed.

Hello HungryHoover,
It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

Trying to update to Firefox 3.6.4, - Software Update window says "Connecting to Update Server", but nothing seems to be happening.

The Software Update screen says Connecting to Update Server, "Paused Downloading Firefox 3.6.4". Nothing seems to be happening.
* I have shut down my computer and restarted.
* I have cleared my history.
I'm hoping the upgrade will help with the crashes. How can I get the update?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Tecra 9000: After SP2 installation the Yamaha sound driver does not work

Hi,
I own a Tecra 9000, with a Yamaha AC-XG sound card.
The problem is that since I installed Windows XP with SP2 included, I lost my sound.
I know also that Toshiba is aware of this situation and they have managed to post a solution for it. I've tried this solution:
Detail:
The Yamaha AC-XG driver uses PortCls function for checking the operatingsystem version. XP Service Pack 1, PortCls function is changed, then the Yamaha driver cannot get operatingsystem version correctly. The operatingsystem provides the version for Windows 95. Therefore the Operatingsystem has a blue screen. Therefore Microsoft added the workaround and illegal drivers are blocked from working on SP1. This issue also happens Windows XP SP2.
Yamaha already provides the fixed drvier to Toshiba. The fixed driver version is the following;
yacxg.sys 6.13.10.2152 with software synthesizer
yacxgc.sys 6.13.10.3152 without software synthesizer
How to fix this issue:
Install the fixed driver on a system before/after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Install steps:
(1) Unzip an attached file on your hard disk.
(2) Run SETUP.EXE
(3) Click the Next button.
(4) Choose "Yes, I want to restart my computer now" and click Finish.
A toshiba engineer told me that first of all I needed to install the old driver "5.12.01.3141", and it worked out ok, but still no sound.
And then he told me to install the version "6.13.10.2152", but this went wrong. I've got the error message "Driver was not installed".
I already tried lots of different drivers, including generic and yamaha drivers.
Please tell me a good solution for this issue if possible.
Thank you very much,
Hugo

Hi Hugo
It seems today is your lucky day ;)
Thanks to Toshiba because the Toshiba computer knowledge base is a really useful area and I have found many useful document and solutions!!!
I found also a solution for your tiny issue ;)
As you said the problem is the Microsoft service pack 2. The sound driver makes some troubles after the installation of SP1 or SP2 and therefore the update is necessary!!!
Please take a look here:
Windows XP Service Pack 1a or Service Pack 2 incompatible with existing Yamaha sound driver

Leopard installation was quit, now Mac does not start up

The installation guide warns that "installing Mac OS X on your current start up disk, let the installer finish. If you quit you may not be able to start up using your current Mac OS X start up disk."
This is what happened to me. How can i fix this?
Thank you

If your getting to the log in window you are NOT on the OS Install Disc..
Just make sure you have the disc in the drive and Then shut down by holding the power button down... Then restart holding down the "C" key... If the disc ejects.. keep holding "C" and pull the disc out one inch then gently slide back in.. Keep holding C.... You will get a few screens then the install screen... STOP.. go to utility's menu at the Top of window... open "disk Utility".. highlight your FULL HD.. Click the button to the right ..OK Heres the deal.. I would erase/ re format the HD.. You will resolve any issue with the bad install.. But remember you will have a blank HD so if you didnt back up.. Well... Then Do your Install.. Nice and clean ... Best of luck....

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes does not think I have high definition display. Playback with other internet apps is in high def, but not iTunes.

I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. Now when I try to play high definition movies, iTunes says they can not play back on my display which is low def. My display has high resolution and display settings are correct. Other websites play back in high def. Just not iTunes.

Hi,
Try this command to fix your problem:
Windows App Store doesn't load after 8.1 Upgrade
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ouc1too/archive/2013/10/19/windows-app-store-doesn-t-load-after-8-1-upgrade.aspx
or, you can use WSreset.exe tool, or manually trying to clear the cache from the Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder.

After 10.8.2 update my mac does not boot !

I stay on the gray screen.
With the recovery disk i try now to reinstal a frech 10.8.2 !
Thanks Apple !

If your problem is linked to the PARAGON Kext, you don't need your back-up. Just boot in save mode (Shift key), download your PARAGON Product and run the uninstaller from the Paragon Disk image.
To see if your problem is related to Parogon, first boot in console mode (command s) and after 5 lines the kernel is blocked by the Paragon Kext (you could read it on the screen).
For another issue boot on the recovery (option) and then chose your backup.

Adobe flash keeps crashing and reloading and changing timeout per your instructions, does not fix the problem. What else can be done?

I recently upgraded Firefox and now I cannot use it if I want to watch something involving Adobe Flash because it crashes. I read your article and made sure I am up to date on all programs through Firefox check page. I reset the timeout on the adobe flash to -1 per your article. Your article states it may crash and just re-load it. I have done all your advice and it still will not run. I am now using Windows as my default browser because I don't have time right now to research this on my own and solve it. I don't know if you are aware that the fixes you suggested are not fixing the problem.

Try reinstalling the previous version of Flash - 10.1 r 102 and get rid of that 10.2 r152 version. ''I never updated Flash and I haven't had a problem with Firefox 4.0 on WinXP.''

Download Flash Player 10.1 (Non-IE Browsers)

How long does "Optimizing Your Mac" take after Installing Mavericks

A small window under spotlight says "Optimizing Your Mac." Then below it: "Performace may be impacted until completed."
How do I find out about when it finishes? And How do I know it is actually working. There is no progress bar.
Thanks
Robert
Mac Pro, Mavericks 10.9

I have the same problem. It's been 3 days now and no change on the warning box. The fact there's no progress bar is really annoying but I guess is a new trend now.
The Mavericks installation over Snow Leopard on an iMac 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo just went as smoothly as it gets but when I had to start my emails... Heck! It was **** on earth!
Good thing I put my old PPC G4 933Mhz up and running. No Intel, Just pure and simple Motorola RISC processor running Mac OSX 1.4 Tiger. This is a real mean machine.
Good luck!

Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after maverick installation

Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after maverick installation. What should I do to recover?
I did try co reinstall windows but it make the installation new (nothing remain from the previous). Old windows partition seems lost.

Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

Serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220.

Experiencing serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220 1TB. Mac Finder totally locked!
I had to format the External hard drive with a Windows PC (fat32), then format again with my IMac (mac Journal.) and hopefully restored data from time machine backup.
So far so good but system looks unstable. Some software were not able to write on the hard drive.Some strange things happens. With Mountain Lion never had an even minor issue.
I read many discussion regarding problems with WD, just wondering if anyone had the same problems with Lacie and if there is any tip to solve the
problem.
Many thanks.
Marco

Thanks very much for your reply.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution because the article refers to whom have configured the drive with included software and drivers that came with the drive.
This is not my case, I never used any third party soft ...only OS X disk utility ...
best

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

Sincerely,
Delgadoh

Explorer View - Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer MOSS 2007 '

We recently had a major deployement, after which Explorer View started giving error message.
Before deployement, all was working fine.
Error: Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
Webclient service is already enabled.
The site has been added to trusted site lists.
All Active-x controls have been enabled.
Browser: Internet Explorer 8 - 32 bit.
Microsoft Office 32 bit is also installed.
Thanx in advance.

You could try updating the following registry key on a client PC as a test: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Paramenters\AuthForwardServerList to include the URL of your sharpoint site. Add the root site and it might enable this functionality.
