Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

I too have upgraded four of my Macs to Mavericks and had no problems at all with any of them. One of the flaws of discussion groups is that one gets a skewed idea of the number of problems that users have because it is human nature to complain about something, whilst the majority of users who don't have a problem seldom bother to remark on this fact!
I, like most of the successful upgraders here, always follow a simple routine that involves firstly backing up, then (if upgrading multiple Macs) creating a bootable drive with the updater on, using Disk Utility or similar to repair permissions before upgrading the OS. I never use the Mac when upgrading and close all the programs and disconnect all external drives, save for the one with the updater on.
Following this routine means that I have never had a problem with an update since OS 7.5 on any of my 16 odd Macs. Of course, smugness always comes before a fall...!

Do you have Google Drive installed? If so, remove it. It has been found to cause problems like what you describe in Mavericks.

Is anyone have problems with Maverick installation?

I had problems with Maverick installation. It moved slowly and I lost the ability to use my Finder. It was riddled with bugs. I am trying to figure out why. I ended up erasing hard drive and reinstalling Mountian Lion.

No problems with Mavericks here ..
How much free storage space on your iMac?
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
The v10.9 Mavericks file is a little over 5GB's and Mavericks does require a high speed broadband connection.

I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs

I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs & syncs but hardly any sound or volume comes out of the Bose. Yes, the volume is turned up, it is synced & paired, but almost a whisper comes out. Anyone have any ideas? I assume it's the iPad since the phone works fine.... Help!

Thanks. We went to Best Buy, where we bought our phones and altho we thought we were "seeding" the ear buds far enough, we were not. There's that extra little "click" and they were in! So, they work well enough for our old ears. But, thanks for your input!

I just bought a Macbook Air. I also have an external harddrive for which to transfer and save all my existing music from my PC. Will I have any troubles with iTunes recognizing where my music is located if I keep it on the external harddrive?

Are there any issues with Maverick and Canon Pro10 printers

Are there any issues with Canon Pro10 printers, Dymo 450 LaserWriter and Epson SX400 with the new Maverick?

Try searching these forums and "Googleing" those devices on the web.....

Screen trouble with maverick

Since installing Mavericks I have had trouble with the monitor and/or QuickTime7. Sometimnes a movie goes into a flurry and must a) close the movie and open it again or b) close QT and reopen program. And sometimes the whole screen goes into a flurry and I have to force quit and restart. Thought there was just some update coming soon for the screen and/or fglash/java, but nothing has happened, and this NEVER happened with Mountain Lion…

Endless Trouble with Mavericks

I've had to move my HP printer frequently between locations. I have struggled endlessly setting up, and using my Deskjet 3050 610a with Mavericks on my Mac. I have spent hours searching the HP & Apple forums & support pages for workarounds which either do not work or work inconsistently. The issues have ranged from wireless connection, to installing the printer on computer, to getting the scan to work. The latest, missing "Scan Save" from printer webpage, is just the latest in the string of endless frustrations.
Would someone please just tell me, if HP/Apple will ever release software & drivers? And, please don't tell me Apple Update takes care of the updates, because the drivers are supposedly up to date, but obviously not functional.
It has been six months since release of Mavericks, and I am seriously wondering if any HP printers will ever work - as they did before Mavericks - on my Mac.

If you can use a computer which runs Windows or older versions of Mac, you can connect the printer wirelessly. Then afterwards add your printer onto your Mavericks system.

I'm having trouble with Adobe installation

Ok downloaded Mountain Lion , then all of a sudden I can't complete searches without having a pop up telling me I don't have the current update I need to install new upsdate. Doesn't want to install, any problem with anyone else

Assuming that you are referring to Adobe Flash Player, then be careful: if that pop-up is not from Adobe it may be an attempt to get you to install malware.
Never install Flash from anywhere but Adobe.
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Trouble with Flash Installation

I am having troubles downloading and installing the latest flash and reader versions. I get the download box after agreeing to the TOS and it goes through the bar and then I get the Initializing Install box and it sits there for a few moments and I get " Installation encountered errors. Actionlist not found." Then it takes me to the troubleshooting page. I have tried both downloaders as well here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html with the same results. The machine is running XP Pro 32 bit along with IE8. I get the same results when using other browser including Firefox and Silverlight. I'm at wits end and have tried everything I can think of short of a reformat and install. Any suggestions?

I can expand somewhat as you are running a different OS than the computer I was working on. I had to do a repair with the Windows XP disk which got rid of the registry entries for Zeus but was still trying to run. Once I had all of the updates done from microsoft, I reinstalled Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org and ran a full scan. That is what detected the Hotbar malware. Just for good measure after that I downloaded and installed CCleaner from http://www.piriform.com/ and checked the prefetch data option and ran both the Cleaner and the Registry options. Both of these programs have free and purchased options. After all of that it finally got both of those out of the system and I was able to download and install Adobe Flash and Reader again. I hope this helps. You might just start with the updates and 2 programs as the computer had other issues with a corrupted registry that caused me to do the repair in the first place.

Help with Maverick installation

I tried installing OSX Maverick, but during installation, it asked for a password and didn't accept my account password.
Then, the installation got hung up at around 99% completed and I exited out of the installer as it would not progess any further after I waited around half an hour. Now, when I try and start up my computer it goes to the factory setting new computer setup. Are my files lost, or is there a way I can complete this installation and get my files back?

Welcome to the BB forums sam225. Here's what I would try. Uninstall the current version of DM. Here is a link that describes in detail how to do a very thorough job of un-installing DM:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Reinstall your DM. v4.5 is the most stable with Windows XP. Here is a link for the downloads:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
Try to re-sync and see if that works. If not, downgrade to Desktop Manager v4.2 SP2 and you should be able to sync. Let me know how it goes!

Trouble with Maverick, lost everything on MBP upgrade?

Im not sure what to do next, and afraid I may have lost everything a moment ago
so would really appreciate some help at the moment.
-- Last night I started downloading the Maverick upgrade from app store, woke up and pushed the button to start the install.
-- The screen was showing the green bar at the end stage of the install for an hour, even though it was saying "less than a minute remaining"...
-- I didn't know what to do, so I abandoned without thinking and shut down => restarted => now the computer is taking me through the steps as it did when I first bought the computer.
-- Im afraid I may have wiped the system clean when I aborted the install (?)
-- I started going through the steps, but then stopped when I realized what was happening. Shut down again, restarted in "safe mode" but still getting the set-up (choose your main language) welcome page.
What can I do to get my data back? I moved over to an iMac recently so havent been backing it up with time machine, have a few very important files on the desktop that I would really like to try and recover...
I know this was lame to not have a backup.
Any advice from any of the pros out there,
please help!

Hi, I had exactly the same situation.
Yesterday I managed to reinstall without loosing any data.
I did following:
1) I have installed Maverick OSX once again to external HDD. I pressed CMD-R when booting and selected second option Reinstall OSX and have chosen external drive.
Then I booted from external HDD and WAS ABLE to access all my data on internal HDD. So I did BACKUP and copied them all out to ext HDD.
2) I removed external HDD with backup and pressed CMD-R during restart. I have selected again second option to Reinstall OSX (this time on internal HDD). Everything went smoothly (except the last minute was much longer, but don't panic again - shame on Apple) after installation has completed and did natural reboot I had all my profiles and all my data ready in computer. No need to restore anything from backup

Im having trouble with the installation of the downloaded trial.

Will download and I downloaded the 7z that is necessary one of the two files.
The install won't initiate.
Adobe%20Premiere%20Elements%2013-AkamaiDLM.exe
PremiereElements_13_LS26_win64.7z
We've ordered the Premiere Elements 13 software but wanted to start using the trial until it arrives.

annp
There are the downloads that require 2 files. One file is the .exe (Adobe Application Manager) and the other file 7z (which is the program itself). You need both of these...first the exe and then the 7z.
When the .exe involves the Akamai, there are typically firewall issues. If you are going to continue with this download, please start again, but this time with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled before you start the download and install process. From where is the download coming..the Adobe web site direct or other?
You could also get the tryout of 13 from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
The key here is to read and carryout carefully the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied Message.
Please review and consider.
If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
