App Store, Ical, Preview Not Opening after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi,
I've upgraded to Mavericks and since the update i've not been able to open App Store, Ical, Preview apps. The apps will not launch from either the dock bar or applications folder.
The apps bounce once when selected then do nothing more.
Anyone else having these issues or know of a work around?
Thanks

Maps, Facetime, Contacts, will also not open. Nightmare

  • Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
    I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
    All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
    I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
    Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

    Hi Arthur,
    Thanks for the headsup about Apple Support thing... My iMac is not under warranty.

  • Notes problem after Mavericks upgrade

    Notes will not sync after Mavericks upgrade, other apps - mail & contacts & calendar do sync

    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Can't Search in Mac App Store & Can't Not Open Menu In Mac App Store

    today, I wanna update some software, when i bring up the Mac App Store, it will not let me click in the Search box.  Also, when I click on "Categories" "Update", etc. at the top of the page, they will highlight but not go to those pages.
    Help, i use Lion 10.7.5 and other operator such as click folder is correct .
    Hardware: Mac mini 2011 ，OS:Mac OS X 10.7.5

    Just spoke with AppleCare -- turns App Store issue was their problem.  It's been resolved and now works correctly.  We're still working on the issue of all my mail disappearing.

  • IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

    iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

    HI,
    The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
    In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
    This should show you at least two keychains.
    The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
    Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
    In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
    As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
    i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
    In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    In the library navigate to Keychains.
    Click to highlight the Login one.
    Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
    At the Bottom unlock the padlock
    Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
    Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
    This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
    You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

  • IMovie will not open after ram upgrade. How can I fix this?

    I updated the ram on my computer by myself from 2gb to 4gb. Everything seemed to work fine, yet when I go to open imovie, it will not open after endlessly bouncing on my dock. I have verified disk permissions. Repaired disk Permissions. Tried replacing iMovie with the iMovie backup from my time machine. Cleared the system cache. Tried reinstalling it using the ilife 11 disk. Tried installing the previous ilife 09 version. Reinstalled snow leopard and did a time machine back up. Placed the old ram back in the computer. All this things done with no success.
    DOES SOMEBODY HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT I COULD DO?
    regards
    Lloyd

    Hi
    My first two thoughts
    • Faulty RAM - There are programs that can test this as Tech-tools (buy or in Apple Care pac)
    • Wrongly inserted RAM - Can be tricky and sometime not obvious - everything's looks OK but in certain situations it just randomly don't work.
    Take out the new RAM and try Your Mac without it to see that it's still OK to start with and then very carefully re-install RAM and now be very careful to see that it snaps in exactly as it's intended to.
    Yours Bengt W

  • My Apple Apps are unresponsive after installing Mavericks. iBooks, Maps, App Store, iCal, etc. will open, but freeze

    After installing Mavericks, I found that my Apple Apps (iBooks, App Store, Maps, iCalendar, iBooks, etc) will open but freeze or are none responsive.  I have reinstalled Mavericks, did a recovery and reinstall, almost everything that I could find in other discussions.  They only thing that helped was the recovery, until I tried to reinstall Mavericks.  Someone please help.....

    OS X Recovery does restore OS X meaning Mavericks.
    Make sure there's enough storage space ...
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in  OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
    OS X Recovery does require a broadband high speed internet connection.

  • IBooks, Maps and App Store does not open after Mavericks installation

    I'm having troubles after I update to Mavericks, iBooks, Maps and App Store doesn't open, I can't check for updates or anything. How can I reinstall Mavericks or how can I solve the proble.
    Thanks for your help!!

    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and use Disk Image to repair disk permissions and the disk itself.  Reboot and try again.
    To reinstall the system boot again into the Recovery volume and use the install system option. That will reinstall only the system.

  • Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

    Hey,
    Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
    Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
    I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
    Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

  • App Store and Updates not loading in Mavericks

    Hi there,
    Upgraded my imac to Mavericks and all was well.  Then there were some updates for my Aperture, iPhoto and iMovie (all previously purchased as full copies).  Something went wrong to my internet connection during the updates and the app store repeatedly asked for my Id and password, which I entered.
    The downloads finally completed and the apps seem to work ok.
    The problem arose when i went back to the app store and it would not open the application.  The toolbar for the app store appears but the appstore software doesnt.  No can not log in to app store to check updates and will not allow to check for updates from the Software Update option at the Apple logo.
    Tried to restore from Time Machine but will not all it saying it needs the files for OSX.  Whats going on?
    How can I restore the appstore, OSX and not lose my data - this is a family Mac and all our photos of our children and family are on it!
    Any help really appreciated.

    If you continue to have problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • App store purchase won't open after HD transfer

    My old Macbook Pro finally died with logic-board problems and wasn't worth repairing so in a pinch and while waiting for a new customised rMBP to arrive I picked up the same old MBP 2nd hand v. cheap and just physically swapped the drive over. It all works absolutely as expected including iTunes etc EXCEPT one app purchased from the App Store. I get the dialog saying this app was purchased on another computer and complete the Apple ID and password correctly but the app simply doesn't open. Nothing happens. I know the password is correct as a deliberate wrong password gives an error dialog. Only 3 of the 5 authorisations have been used too so not sure what to do.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
