Anybody else have this DiskWarrior 4.4 issue in Mavericks 10.9.3?

I just installed Mavericks 10.9.3 a few days ago. I purchased DiskWarrior 4.4 not long ago to use with 10.9.2, and DW worked fine. Last night I tried to load DW into my Mac Mini with the new 10.9.3 installed and DW came up as a blank UntitledDVD.fpbf on my desktop. Alsoft sent me instructions to make a dupe iso of the disk using my old G5 iMac (where DW loads just fine), and we have been getting very snotty back and forth over this. My question is, why does the DW disk open normally on my old G5 iMac and not my new Mini? Does any of this suggest the disk is damaged? No other disk anywhere in my library has a problem with my Mini but the DW disk does, which as I stated worked correctly with 10.9.2 but now is a blank DVD in 10.9.3. I am convinced it has something to do with the new Mavericks and the Alsoft tech insists it doesn't. Anyone?

As I stated before, my disk drive will read any other disk in my house/world/universe but DiskWarrior. I am not worried about the cleanliness of my drive.
10.9.2, it worked fine. 10.9.3, it doesn't work. I haven't found anything yet that explains this.
Alsoft ended their last support email with this (the tech wanted me to dub off an iso bootable on my old G5 from the original DW disk to see if it worked):
I am suggesting you utilize the G5 to test for what the problem may be with the DVD.  Because, if the DVD reads on the G5, it is unlikely that the DiskWarrior disc is non-functional.
Please follow my previous instructions and report the results.
At least he said Please! I might still try making a copy but I seriously can't follow the logic of what he is saying. "It is unlikely the DiskWarrior disc is non-functional." In other words, "If it reads on the G5, then there's probably nothing wrong with it." !!! If that's so then why have me make a copy of the disc? It's been in a plastic case for months on the shelf! It worked last time I used it! Then I put it back in the plastic case! I am not happy!
Some people, when they don't have an answer, are still providing an answer.

  • Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0.  Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0.  They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Ok, so I'll try again.  Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
    Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update?  It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV.  These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

  • Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    For a few users, since some point in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been an occasional problem when trying to wake from sleep if you have Bluetooth enabled for the keyboard, Magic Mouse, Trackpad, etc.
    The solution for me that worked 100% of the time was: System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
    For me, the problem ran intermittently through 10.6.something, all of 10.7 and now, finally, seems to be resolved in 10.8.2.

    I am getting emails from itunes asking me to renew my ID with bank account, creditcard and sortcode! to much information to be credible. anybody else have this problem?

    They are not from Apple/iTunes, they are phishing attempts to try and get your account and payment details - don't click on any of the links in them.
    If you still have the emails then you could forward them to Apple : [email protected]

  • My iPhoto doesn't even open! i get same message saying it's unreadable! anybody else have this problem!?

    my iPhoto doesn't even open! i get same message saying it's unreadable! anybody else have this problem!?

    First try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I am unable to delete unwanted songs from my wish list. Does anybody else have this problem and/solution. Thanks

    I have the same problem, and other people have also posted about it. I assume that there is either a bug with the current version of iTunes and/or that there is a problem at Apple's end

    my Ipod keeps going back to sad face... it wont power on, enter menu, play music,nothing. Does anybody else have this problem? This is about Ipod Classic/older version

    +I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
    I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

    I had that problem it was software.

  • Ndles are already in use. Anybody else have this issue?

    Hi, I got the new Mac Book pro with retina display and Mavericks.  Got all my data transferred.  Ever since Time Capsule keeps acting up. It sporadically fails and states that sparse bundles are already in use. I can get it to back up again if I unplug Time Capsule and then plug it in again. Anybody else having this problem?

  • HT2946 Why is the contrast of my images totally different when processed and then opened in CS4?  Does anybody else have this issue?

    Why does the contrast in my images processed in Aperture look markedly different when opened in CS4?  The images look fab on the screen in Aperture - even if these are then opened in CS4 from Aperture they look different  - much flatter.  This is a new issue.  I am a wedding photographer and an album processed in Aperture has been sent back by my wedding album printer saying the images all lack contrast!  Can anybody shed any light on this!  I have checked colour spacing etc! 

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • Mail stopped recognizing my gmail and other, non-iCloud, accounts.  Anyone else have this problem?  No issue with the same software installed on my MacBook Air.

    Mid morning, before Christmas, my iMac stopped downloading all mail from gmail and my personal domain. Only the me.com account is still functioning.  Thankfully I am able to access my mail on my MacBook Air but would like to get the problem resolved on my main computer.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi Susan,
    Can you loginto gMail's Webmail in a browser using the same login credentials?

    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
