Calendar and other apps text unreadable
Since I've upgraded to maverick I basically can't read any mail and the calendar is completely useless.
I'm so disappointed, that the upgrade was free, like if it was heavely racomended!
An example of useless calender :
The same thing occurs for mail and many other applications. Luckily the browsers seems immune to this, but basically every other app are like that.
Do I have to change something?
and here a nice email for you:
I hope this could be solved in a brief period of time, otherwse I have to erase everything and install back 10.8

Frustrating that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could be passed to the i phone . The local store says I should pay for them solving the problem . I doubt they will listen to all the aspects before I search again and again (and pay again and again??) Allready been there many times, downloaded many things!!
She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs." She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed. I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday. I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!)
She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing.... -
Safari and other apps are very slow
I am frustrated because I have goodled and tried everything. Safari and other apps on my MacBook Pro are loading very slowly. This was not the case about a month ago. I purchased this Macbook in October 2014 and it should not be as slow as it is. What can I do? I have changed a few settings and made some adjustments and the performance is still the same. Help.
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created. -
Videos on my iPad are running 2x. I have restored every way possible but still no change. The videos are noticeably faster in Safari and other apps like my Fox News app. Sometimes I can change the speed back to normal by "scrubbing" the video, but that is inconsistent. I have an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 ...thanks for any and all help!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -

Problems created by latest updates. Safari, Mail, and other apps are hosed.
If there is a better forum to post this, please let me know. I don't see a forum specific to auto-updates...
Today auto-update installed Security Update 2006-003 v1.0 and QuickTime 7.1. After this install, I now have the following symptoms:
1. Mail will not start. No window, no menu. Dock shows app not repsonding.
2. Safari will not start. A blank window appears and the menu is painted. Dock shows app not responding.
3. MS IE still functions. So, there is network connectivity. I am posting this using IE. Both Safari and IE have home set to apple.com/startpage/
4. The System Preferences app starts and functions for most settings. However, if I select Accounts in order to disable the auto-start of Mail, the Prefs app never switches to the Accounts display, and it hangs forever.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to roll back an update to see if that really is the problem?Glad your problem was resolved. Just saw this thread and was curious after your clean install and Combo Update to 10.3.9 did you reinstall Security Update 2006-003 which was giving you problems with Safari and Mail.
You mentioned you have since run Disk Utility. From experience I have learned its normally a good idea to run Disk Utility before and after major updates including installation of Apple Security Updates. Did you reinstall the security update after reinstall, updating to 10.3.9 and running Disk Utility? I have not even installed Security Update 2006-003 at all or QuickTime 7.1
I don't want to risk downloading a defective update that causes more headaches than its worth. If it fixes some serious flaws and makes my Mac more secure but messes up with my system and prevents me from running Safari then obviously I won't touch it. I remember installing Security Update 2006-001 that was a nightmare. I had to do a clean OS reinstall after that to get Safari working again and reupdate to 10.3.9 so I can use QuickTime 7.
With iTunes 5 update for Mac and Windows I noticed on both my Mac and my PC (have an Apple laptop with OS X and a desktop PC with Win XP) that my shared music libraries stopped working. My Mac could not share music with my PC nor could my PC share music with my Mac. The iTunes 6.0.2 update was also problematic -- as Disk Utility stopped working.
I heard of problems in QuickTime 7.1 affecting both Macs and Windows PCs have deliberately chosen not to update either my Mac or PC to that update -- have QT 7 for Mac and Windows installed but won't update to 7.1 on either OS if it causes problems. Now I hear Security Update 2006-003 can force Safari and other apps like Mail to stop working.
Before I heard a few people say on Intel Macs the update caused OS to freeze more only (sometimes) which is a problem but didn't hear anything as serious as this. Was just considering finally downloading the update since I hadn't heard any problems yet but will now likely hold off on it indefinately. I do want my Mac to be secure but at same time don't want a faulty update to break my applications. Don't want to go through same problem I experienced when installing Security Update 2006-001 all over again with Security Update 2006-003.
After reinstalling OS X Panther and updating to 10.3.9 and running Disk Utility of course (as needed in between major installs) I deliberately did not reinstall Security Update 2006-001 I decided it was more headache than its worth. I had to reinstall OS X to get Safari working again and get rid of that update reinstalling it after that would only return the problem. Then I would have to do a clean reinstall of OS X a third time, update to 10.3.9 and QT 7 to access Safari. Of course I also reinstalled past Apple Security Updates from last year (calendar year 2005) that didn't cause trouble.
However, I did install Security Update 2006-002 later after I double checked -- waited for a while to hear if any bugs were in the update and once I felt sure it was a safe update I installed it to better secure the OS. -
My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?
If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Links from within Firefox windows open new tab, but links within Mail, MSWord, and other apps attempt to open another copy of Firefox, and I get the "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This just started happening less than a week ago. I don't know when FF updated to version 22.0.
My problem seems to be fixed--I cannot reproduce it now, though it had been consistently happening for the past 3-4 days. The suggestions above do not seem to apply in any case: I do not want to open another instance of Firefox but simply to connect with the one that is already running; and I do not seem to have a .parentlock file.
If the problem returns, I'll be back. Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions. -
hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?
So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.
Do what iTunes is telling you to do. Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you. Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them. Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.

I have an iphone 4s and have installed the new ios download and can no longer find games and other apps that i have downloaded. Where would they be or have they been wiped?
Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?
i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

My I pad is not closing out of Facebook and other apps. I have to turn it off to close them
I am having trouble closing out of face book and other apps. My I pad is two years old . I have to turn it off to go into another page.
You cannot remove the software update notification. It will not go away. If you have the iPad2, you can update the device to iOS 6.0.1. It is your choice to not update, but you cannot remove the update notification.
