Bootcamp disappears after updating to mavericks
Hello all, i'm experiencing a lot of problems after updating to OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 especially with bootcamp.
My bootcamp partition is greyed out in disk utility, access bootcamp, i cant seem to mount it, delete the partition via bootcamp assistant.
I guess something went wrong in bootcamp after updating . i've been looking up all over the net trying to see if there are possible solutions to fix this problem.

Help please !
Excellent work to get to this point. Were any of your partitions resized after Windows was already in place?
Your table (and my cheat sheet) looks as following
GPT 3 Start
GPT 3 Size
GPT 3 End
NTFS Start
Byte Offset
NTFS Size
NTFS End

You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message.
Rebuild using start/end offsets from Testdisk DeepSearch using GPT Fdisk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/)
Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0

This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.
Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR
Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

Y (part 4 flag make bootable partition)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot
Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?
Test 2 - Can you see your files in Bootcamp Volume?
Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
Test 4 - If Test 3 is successful, select Bootcamp and Click Restart.
If you see a hanging underline cursor at the top left on a black screen, and it does not proceed further, you may need Windows Startup Repair or a tool called EasyBCD.

Bootcamp disappeared after updating to Maverics
Hi Community,
I have a little Problem with my Bootcamp Partition after i updated to Maverics. To make it short: It disappeared, I am unable to boot on Windows, and the Bootcamp Partition is not visible in the Harddrive Utility.
This is how it looks like now. Usualy the Bootcamp Partition should be where you can now see the grey block. As you may notice, the harddrive utility recognises Macintosh HD and the grey block as one partition, but it also says that this partition is used for Bootcamp. Repairing the Drive does not work, because it first tells me that the Partitiontable is correct, but when I try it more often then I get this message:
Error: The Partition-Table must be repaired because of a problem in the EFI-Systempartition.
Then when i hit repair, it tells me that the Live-repair is not supportet for this filesystem. I also tried to repair it from the recovery-partition. There it takes a lot longer to get that error and it also tells me that the live repair is not supported.

There I can see my 4 partitions, the first one should be the recovery-partition, right ?
The little FAT-32 drive is just there to share some data between Windows and Mac OS. This one works just fine.

Dont know what to do next, I dont really need the data on the Bootcamp partition because it all can be reinstalled and the really important data is always stored on the mac partition and backuped by Time Machine, but i would take about a day or more to reinstall all of the programs and do the Updates.
I had Windows 7 on that Bootcamp drive and a few scripts to reach several servers for my business. It was formatted in NTFS with the Windows-Installation-Disk.
I hope somebody has an idea how to proceed with that.There has been a long dispute with google lately and that is hence why there is a new map program by apple not google, and since google really owns youtube (I think) apple has decide to part with the youtube app but there are many other suitable apps out there.

Photos disappeared after update to Mavericks...
I updated to Mavericks last night and then updated to the new iPhoto (had iPhoto '09). When I opened it, everything seemed ok except one Event with about 700 photos was missing, and it's probably the most important one I have. Then, I closed it and opened it again and the Event reappeared but with just 10 of the photos in it. I kept doing it, and each time I did so, 10 more photos would magically appear. This kept going until it got to 115 and then it stopped. I can't figure out what happened. What do I need to do?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook folders and contacts disappeared - how do I recover them? Thank you!
It's possible Outlook opened in a new Identity.
In the Finder go to your Documents folder > Microsoft User Data folder > Office 2011 Identities folder.
Inside you should see your Identity. You might see other Identities from prior rebuilds. If Outlook opened in a new blank Identity you can open the Database Utility to set your old Identity as default.
Options to check in the Identity to determine if it has data.
Check the database file in the Identity to see when it was created and modified.
Check the Data Records folder to see if it has these folders:
Message Attachments
Message Sources
Messages
If these folders are missing there are no messages.
Open the Database Utility
Hold down the Option key when launching Outlook. It will open the Database Utility.
Click on the + to add a new Identity.
Click on the gear to set default Identity.
Another option to open the Database Utility is to open from Applications.

Are you trying to install a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows 8?
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4
I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?
Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks
My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?
Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks. Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up. When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked. I check it, and all seems correct. The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked. Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID. The log-in loop continues. For years my keychain has worked perfectly. What has changed in Mavericks?

Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?
Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?
1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center. -
Officejet Pro K5400 printing problems after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9
Hi,
I have printing problems with my Officejet Pro K5400 after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9.
Now after printing 1 page the printer prints an extra page with '2345X' sentence on it. As this problem started right after updating, I suppose there is a problem with an update.This patch did solve our problem with the K5400 feeding a "blank sheet".
Thank you. -

After updating to Mavericks the apps store gives me the message "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." How do I still update apps such as iphoto??
What happened was you never accepted these apps into your Mac App Store account.
Drag & drop the apps in the Trash and use OS X Recovery to install them again. after installing the apps be sure to accept them into your account this time from the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store.

I can open and close tabs. but cannot use the trackpad gestures for anything in safari. Kindly help. I have noticed this only after updating to Mavericks. Beforre mavericks, everything was fine.

This is a common situation. Many third-party internet apps/plugins/extensions claim to be compatible with Macs.
And many are not. It's important to remember to check for any updates to this kinds or things prior to upgrade.
