Bluetooth Smart Dongle no longer working in Mavericks.

I've been using the IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle on my late '08 MBP for quite some time.  After upgrading to Mavericks, it was no longer being recognized, and worse, when I unplug it my system crashes and reboots "sleep/wake failure".  I tried cycling the computer on and off with and without bluetooth enabled.  I wiped the HD and did a fresh install of mavericks, I deleted the .kext and replaced it, then tried an older version of the Bluetooth .kext file - no dice!
Any ideas?

Do you know how to downgrade back to 10.8.5 without a time machine backup?
That's a tough thing to do.  You could make a "clone" of the existing contents of your Mac, boot from the clone, erase your internal drive, download 10.8.5, then install it on the internal drive.  Once you've booted from the newly-installed 10.8.5, then use Setup Assistant to pull your user account from the clone.
Mail is likely to give you the biggest problem, as there were changes to the way Mail organizes its files.  To work around this, I'd export any local mailboxes while running 10.9.  Once you have a working 10.8.5 system, delete all your Mail accounts, add them again, then import the local mailboxes from the exported data.

  • HT6114 My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks- No drivers available from Canon

    My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks upgrade.  Canon does not offer new drivers.

    The Canoscan Toolbox works with Mavericks to scan, copy, etc.
    If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements the drivers can be installed so one can scan from within those applications.
    All the necessary software (CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.2 Installer) can be obtained from the Canon site.
    And, as Eustace mentioned, Vuescan works.

  • Bluetooth USB Dongle does not work

    I have this generic looking USB dongle (forgot the brand) that I use with my eMachines e725 laptop. It worked fine with Linux Mint 9 KDE 64bit that I had to use for the past 1.5 years. The moment I plugged the dongle in, it was instantly detected and the bluetooth icon turned active in the system tray. However it does not work with my ArchLinux 64bit install with KDE4.6 (updated to latest packages). Due to issues with the new Kernel 2.6.39 series, I am using the LTS kernel.

    Have you read the Bluetooth wiki page?
    Seems to me you didn't run the relevant daemon.
    Also, your thread title should include 'bluetooth' - 'USB dongle' on its own is too generic.

  • HP OfficeJet 6500A fax no longer works after Mavericks update

    After updating to Mavericks and installing the HP software drivers, the fax component no longer works.  I installed the fax part of the update, and when I print to fax, instead of triggering the machine to dial a number like it did in Mountain Lion, the printer prints out garbage text.  There's no relevant support page on HP's website about this issue.  Anyone got their HP fax to work via print to fax from their Mac?

    Hello Peter,
    It sounds like you are not able to fax from your HP OfficeJet 6500A.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Additional Information
    Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.  For more details, see this article.

  • Presonus FP-10 no longer works after Mavericks update

    I updated my Mac Mini to Mavericks and now my Presonus FP-10 will not work. I know that Presonus has made a statement that FP-10 is no longer compatible with Maverick or Mountain Lion. I had it up and running in Mountain Lion. My question is can I reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion to fix this urgent problem. I am using my Mac Mini O SX 10.9 as of now.

    I have now managed to get the Canon LBP6300dn printer working on my network (i.e. I did not use USB at all).
    In case it helps others, here are the steps I performed.
    Infrastructure:
    My printer is connected by LAN cable to my Airport Extreme.
    The Airport Extreme has a DHCP reservation defined for the printer (e.g. fixed address of 10.1.2.3).
    I need A4 as the default paper size, so I installed the UK version of the driver (Mac_CAPT_V365_uk_EN.dmg). I do not know if the locale makes any difference.
    I orginally set-up the printer  when I used Mountain Lion.
    My Mavericks installation on my laptop was clean (i.e. the hard disk was reformatted first)
    Set-up:
    The printer was switched on and installation was done on my Mavericks laptop over WiFi.
    Double-click the .DMG file and follow the instructions.
    Open System Preferences | Printers & Scanners.
    Click + to add a new printer, the Add dialog should open.
    For me, nothing appeared under the Default tab.
    Click the IP tab.
    In the Address: field: I entered the fixed IP address of my printer (e.g. 10.1.2.3).
    The IP address should be automatically validated.
    The Protocol: Field was set to Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
    After a few seconds, the Use: field should display “Generic PostScript Printer”
    Click on the Use: field’s menu to display available options and then pick “Select Software …”
    In the Printer Software dialog, select “Canon LBP6300 CAPT (UK)” . Or the equivalent for your locale. Click Ok. Note: I could not get the “Canon LBP6300n CAPT (UK)” to work.
    For me, an error “Unable to verify the printer on your network appeared”, but I clicked Continue.
    I left the Paper Source Options set to none. (I do not have the 500 cassette.)
    I clicked Ok to finish the adding of the printer
    After this the printer was finally working for me, including duplex printing.
    Anyway, I hope this might help others that are struggling with Mavericks and the Canon LBP6300dn printer.

  • Script no longer working under Maverick

    I just upgraded to Maverick over the weekend and I can not figure out why this script no longer works.  It has been working for the last 5 years.
    The script moves a file my server sends per e-mail to a folder on a partition on my Mac.  Here is the script.
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
              set selectedMsg to (current messages)
              set selectedMsg to item 1 of result
              set msgAttachment to attachments of selectedMsg
              set msgAttachment to result's item 1
              set attachmentName to name of msgAttachment
              set attachmentFile to ((path to desktop) & attachmentName) as text
      save msgAttachment in attachmentFile
    end tell
    delay 3
    set submitfolder to "OS E:Users:e:Desktop:" as alias
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to collectionfolder
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to trash
    I now get:
    If I run:
    tell application "Finder"
              open ("/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as POSIX file)
    end tell
    it opens the folder no problem so the path must be ok?  or? 
    Any ideas why it is broken? 

    Are you getting the error on this statement
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    or when you do the move? And what is the error number you are getting?
    Also try this
    set filePart to "week " & (do shell script "date +%U")
    log filePart
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains filePart) to collectionfolder
    to see what the string looks like.

  • Option-drag contacts to Finder no longer works in Mavericks

    In all versions of Contacts and Address Book you could select multiple contacts, hold down the option key, then click and drag them into a folder, which would result in a separate vCard for each contact. If you did not hold down Option prior to dragging, all contacts were combined into a single vCard (eg: John Smith and 10 others.vcf).
    I just installed Mavericks and now the option-drag method no longer works. As I drag the contacts to a folder everything looks like it is working as normal, except that when I drop, nothing shows up in the finder, the folder remains empty. If I don't hold down the option key, it works as normal and a single vCard is created for multiple contacts. Dragging one at a time also still works.
    I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well. I assume this must be a bug, as without this ability the only way to export multiple separate vCards (that I know of) would be to drag them one at a time.

    It's frustrating when Apple removes a feature you're used to using...  But when they close a door.... 
    Do the following:
    1) Open the Contacts Application and select all the contacts you want to export
    2) Open the Automator application and create a New Workflow
    3) Select "Contacts" from the Library panel at the left
    4) Drag the action "Get Selected Contact Items" from the middle panel and select "Get Selected PEOPLE" from the drop-down menu.
    5) Drag the action "Export vCards" from the middle panel and select "Export INDIVIDUAL VCARDS" from the first drop-down menu and select a destination FOLDER from the second drop-down menu. Just create a new folder on your Desktop and select it, you don't want to save directly on the Desktop as this will put all your individual vcards there.
    6) Run the workflow by hitting the PLAY button at the top-right of the window.
    Optionally, you can save the workflow for future use, but the best practice would be to use the Get Selected Items and not the Get Specified Items, as the later would only export the contacts you already have there and not the new ones, I believe.
    In any case, there's the window!
    Rick.

  • Which Apple app's will no longer work in Mavericks?

    I am using OS 10.8.5 on my MacbookAir.  I was contacted by Apple to download a free update to Mavericks, OS 10.9.
    I am very suspicious after having been many times forced to buy new apps working under newer Apple operating systems, because some previouly working apps suddenly no longer did after an Apple System upgrade was installed.
    I lost mountains of important files created with Applesworks, including important spread sheets and data files which suddenly no longer opened because the Apple appllication used to create them was no longer supported by the newer Apple OS.
    I also recall the total mess with earlier iMovie and iDVD updates most of which ensured that previous iMovie and IDVD schemes coukd no longer be opened or used.
    Since Apple does not inform users of such problems before the updates are  downloaded, maybe it will be of great benefit to  get
    a reply from other users who have upgraded already to Mavericks.
    So which apps, if any will no longer work, if the OS is upgraded to Mavericks?  

    You were contacted by Apple to download Mavericks? Really?
    We wouldn't be able to give you a blow by blow description of which apps will or will not work with Mavericks. There are a lot of people who have upgraded to Mavericks and are not having any issues whatsoever.
    There are others who seem to be having every possible issue you can think of.
    I would imagine that the difference in experiences here is due to the types of sofware people are running, the amount of CPU capacitity they are using to run various apps, games, etc. Whether or not they are running non-Apple applications, how often they have dropped their laptop, etc.
    Since you seem concerned with messes, and problems, and losses of files, then unless you have some burning need to upgrade right at this very moment in it, it seem like it might be prudent to wait.
    That's what I am doing. I am perfectly happy with Mountain Lion. There is nothing in Mavericks that I feel I can't live without for awhile. Eventually, I will be upgrading to Mavericks, because I don't want to fall behind in OSX levels for my machine. But for now, there is simply no pressing need to do so.
    Bugs are being worked out. Fine tuning is being done. Enhancements are being made.
    So, why rush into somehting that has been out for only two months....what's the hurry? It's not going anywhere anytime soon....

  • Applications no longer work with mavericks

    After downloading Mavericks,
    1. Applications no longer work, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, microsoft Office, Illustrator, and more
    2. Multiple displays no longer work
    3. Tried restoriing, but would not let me.
    What is the fix to this... Anyone know?

    1. Applications no longer work, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, microsoft Office, Illustrator, and more
    If coming from Snow Leopard, then PowerPC based apps will not run on anything beyond Snow Leopard.
    2. Multiple displays no longer work
    Multiple monitors work for me.  There are people that have some issues with multiple monitors.  Look at
    <http://discussions.apple.com/message/26542996?tstart=0#26542996>
    Does that help?
    Or can you please describe how it doesn't work.
    3. Tried restoriing, but would not let me.
    Restoring what?  the older version of Mac OS X?  What version is that?  Did you make a backup before upgrading?  If so, what kind of backup?

  • HT6114 HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Scanner no longer works with Mavericks upgrade

    I have an all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner, HP Office Jet Pro 8500.  The scanner no longer works with the Mavericks upgrade.  Is it possible to get the scanner back in use?  The printer and fax is fine, but I really use the scanner a lot.  Please helap me.

    The following link to the HP Support site indicates that scanning is still supported for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 using Mavericks but also indicates that "you may need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mavericks." See the FAQ section of http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03967522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4159&product=3752456&sw_lang=#N1237

  • Xerox workcentre 7535 print driver no longer works with Mavericks 10.9.2

    Unable to change any settings in Print dialog pane for Xerox WorkCentre 7535. Xerox says its an Apple software problem. They have issed three revised drivers since Apple released Mavericks OS-X 10.9.2. Not only does latest driver (4-11-14) not work, their universal driver for Mavericks no longer works. Anybody else trying to print on a Xerox device?

    I think I solved this.  Our Canada office has a WorkCentre 7556, and it was having the same problem(s).
    Here's what I found and did:
    Log into the printer's web interface.  Go to the Properties tab.  On that page, expand General Setup.  Then click Configuration Report.
    Find and click the link for Machine Hardware.  In that box, find a line item for Finisher Type.  Scribble down or remember your finisher type (ours was Xerox Professional Finisher).
    On the Mac in question, go to System Preferences, Printers & Scanners.  Find your Xerox printer, click Options & Supplies, and then the Options button.  Now on our machine, from a default installation, the finisher was set to OCT (Offset Catch Tray) and was greyed out.  Changing this to the correct finisher mentioned above made all of our errors go away.
    Cheers, good luck, and um, I guess mark as Answered if this works for you please?

  • V2.0 - Smart Playlists No Longer Working

    Hello all,
    The Shuffle Songs routine in V2.0 is just as bad as in V1.1. We constantly hear the same songs over and over and some songs we never hear. To solve this problem I was advised to create a Smart Playlist that would only play songs with a play count of 0. This worked great in V1.1 but does not work in 2.0.
    I am streaming through iTunes. Looking at the iTunes Smart Playlist, it is working correctly and removing a song once it has been played once. But no many how many times I reload that particular iTunes library, previously played songs are still being shown in the playlist when I select it on the ATV. And of course, ATV likes to play the same songs over and over again from it while on shuffle.
    Any suggestions?

    FYI...
    Reset ATV, no change... Deleted Smart Playlist and recreated, no change... Deleted Smart Playlist and recreated with a DIFFERENT NAME than before, it now works as before in V1.1.
    Go figure...
