Backspace not working on Mavericks (External USB Mac Keyboard A1243)
After upgrading to Mavericks OS, my external keyboard's backspace key has stopped working. I have gone through my keyboard settings and unable to find any problems. The backspace works fine on another computer. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks,
Connor

Mac Mail's smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.
Smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.
Tagged search such as "from:amazon OR from:yahoo" does not return any result in a smart mailbox. A strange thing is that it still works in the search box on the tool bar, but once the "Save" button is pressed to convert to a smart mailbox, it stops working.Smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port
Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks

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!

27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro.
I just got a 27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) and it's not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro (not Thunderbolt). Any idea why? Command+F2 does nothing. I am connecting via Belkin Minidisplay Port-to-Minidisplay Port adapter.
Any help is appreciated...thanks!Currently the ThunderBolt iMacs can only be used as an external display by other ThunderBolt Macs.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
Apple is very clear about that.
2009 and 2010 27" iMac with a Mini DisplayPort can be used by other Macs with a MDP-to-MDP cable.

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?
The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step. -
App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server
App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I had this problem myself.
Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
So, I tried "Copy & Paste" - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect.. -
Why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

Philip, many people have talked about this "blue lego" problem, but you are the first to explain it (migrating to Intel) that brings clarity to the issue. The Business and People widgets use small "webkit" plugins in order to do their work. However, the plugins on the PowerPC versions of these widgets are NOT Universal, and thus will not run on an Intel Mac.
Typically, this should never be an issue because an Intel Mac comes with widgets already installed (the Universal versions of these widgets, which include Universal versions of these plugins).
However, if I understand you correctly, you "migrated" your old files from your PowerPC Mac to your new Intel Mac. Is it possible you overwrote your Intel OS X default widgets (the 18 widgets in [Hard Drive]/Library/Widgets) with the versions from your old PowerPC Mac during this migration?
If so, then that is the source of your problem: you replaced your Universal widgets with PowerPC widgets. The solution is to reinstall your widgets from the Installer that came with your new Intel Mac. You can either re-install OS X entirely, or use Pacifist to just install those overwritten widgets. -
IDVD is not working in Mavericks... what now?
I am very upset that iDVD is not working in Mavericks! I need the ability to burn DVDs for family who is unable to access the internet. Any patches or fixes available to make this software usable again? I am very disappointed that Apple would do this without warning users that previously purchased software would be incompatible with the new OS.
I am also having problems with iDVD under Mavericks. I have used iDVD for many years creating DVD's for family members and archiving our vacations. It worked great under Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion, but now Mavericks is a different situation.
I have two basic problems, (1) after importing the video I want to use, I play it back to preview and a small band shows up at the top of the screen that is not in sync with the rest of the screen. And (2) when showing a slideshow using standard jpegs there are color issues on playback. Help, I need my iDVD back! -

My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone or mac laptop. any suggestions please.
Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!! -

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

<Email removed by Host>sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
Mac also is platform and OS.
Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.
