After installing Mavericks my email isn't allowing me to draft a new message. I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages. When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together.

I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages.
When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together and usually crashes.
I was able to get into my Mail settings and everything looks ok as far as I can tell.
Has anyone else seen this? My software is completely up to date now (unfortunately).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account. Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized. What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Can See Home Share but cannot See Music

I have 3 computers that are all authorized and have home share running Windows XP. Currently my method of sharing music is using a windows share, but wanted to give home share a try. Comp1 is my master, Comp2 can see the home share, view, and copy just fine. Comp3 can see the home share but within a couple of seconds of clicking the home share it goes back to it's own music library with no error. If I access the same library(windows share) through the home share from Comp3 but going through Comp2 instead this works. I can also mount all the songs on Comp3 and see them from home share on Comp1. I can create a small library on Comp1 and this can be accessed through home share on Comp3. Anybody have a clue to why the full library cannot be accessed directly from Comp3 on Comp1?

I had this problem and after trying several suggested solutions, came up with the one that worked for me. My Windows firewall was not the problem, it was the ESET virus software firewall on my XP system. In order to see the shared libraries, I have to turn it off. After playing music, I need to turn it back on. Hope this helps!

I can see my photos but cannot move them anywhere or do anything with them

I transferred photos as I have always done from my digital camera to Iphoto. After transferring the photos I deleted them from my camera. I can see the photos in Iphoto but I cannot move them anywhere, I cannot download them e.g. to send with an email, I cannot change them in any way, I cannot delete them.
I thought I had done something wrong so I shot two more photos and put them onto my laptop exactly as before. These photos are fine and can be moved around as always. What now???

Hi again
That was a great help. Thank you so much. I could open "Show original file" on approx. half of the photos (there were 49 in all). I have been able to save those to my desktop. They were not copied and are now no longer in the original file.
But it gets even stranger. When I right click on the others (20 in all) "Show original file" is not active and when I click on show file they are not in there. These I can not move in any folder whether "all photos" or events so are still lost to me at the moment. All the photos were taken from my camera at the same time. Do you have any more wonderful ideas?... Glinda11

Home sharing - can see shared library but won't pull up songs to share?

I am trying to share some music with my daughters older mac... I have done it in the past, but it is not working now. I can share her library on my laptop, but I see my library on her computer, but when I select it no songs come up and it jumps back up to her music library. Any suggestions?

Just downloaded an album but cannot play one of the songs. How can I re-download?

Purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes Store... one song does not play correctly.
All other songs play great, but the last one only plays 20s of the 3 minutes and passes on to the next song.
How can I download the song again?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copy from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

SMB-problem: can see/manage files, but cannot open from Windows 8.1

I have some files shares on a Mavericks server (clean install, including OSX Server). I can connect and see the shared files from my Windows clients (both 7 and 8.1). I can even create files, rename them, etc. From Windows 7 i can also open and edit them. So far, so good!
From Windows 8.1 however, opening does not work: simple text-files and pdf's don't open at all (server cannot execute instruction/file already open), office documents can only be opened in read-only mode.
In the System log (on OSX Server) are a lot of lines like: smbd[714]: File system does not support 0x0 time attributes (or does not support 0x400000, file attrs).
Using Windows Power Shell, I figured out that there is a SMB2.1 connection between Windows and OS X, which seems
to be correct. It appears that OS X judges that Windows is using one or more wrong parameters in an SMB-system call.
I had lots of SMB-problems using Mountain Lion (Snow Leopard server was fine). I don't want to force my Windows machine to use SMB1 (for all shares) using the commands found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547 (I didn't try yet).
Any help would be appreciated.

So I have the exact same issues. I actually called Microsoft Support and they tried a bunch of different things. They even tried disabling SMB 2 and 3 on my Windows 8.1, but then I was unable to connect to my OS X 10.9.1 Server share point at all anymore!
Here is what I found out. When I start up from my 10.6.8 Server backup on my Macmini Server, and then mapped the network drive on letter G on Windows 8.1 Pro client machine to that very same share point - worked like a charm. I can read , write and such all fines on that share. All is well. Leaving the Windows 8.1 client alone, on the macmini server I selected the upgraded 10.9.1 Server volume and restarted the Macmini Server. After restart, guess what, I was able to perfectly access the files from Windows 8.1 on the OS X share point which of course was still mapped as drive G on 8.1 from earlier.
Now here comes the kicker. I went ahead and restarted Windows 8.1 and then everything went haywire! I opened the Windows 8.1 desktop and brought up My Computer. I saw that the mapped drive G is no longer connected (red X). I went ahead and double clicked it and then Windows Explorer simply hug itself and wouldn't come back. I had to force quit explorer and ended up ultimately restarting Windows. After restart I went ahead and disconnected the mapped network drive (G), and then re-mapped it. I authenticated with the very same username and password as before. This time I am able to see all the files once again, but can't open or work with any of them. It is super jinxed. In my opinion there is a severe bug in Apples SMB 2 or smbx or whatever they call it. Why couldn't thy just leave it alone and pay a licensing fee and use Samba? It's just so stupid!!!!
Apple, you must fix this problem. I will tell the server tech that I have been working with the very same thing. They should have never release 10.9. It was premature and not ready for prime time. It's good to know that there is a work around however. It is super teadious, and spastic, but hey, at least I get it to work. Either it has something to do with authentication, or the way OS X 10.9 responds when mapping a network drive on windows 8.1 pro? No clue.
Apple does not pay me to Q&A their software. This stuff should simply work! I am ****** off and have wasted now over 3 weeks of my precious time banging my head against the wall with Apple stuff.
Come one guys, get your stuff straightened out. thanks.

External drive crashed, can see in Linux but cannot copy everything to new drive?

My itunes library lived on a Networked drive that stopped working. I have removed the drive from it's enclosure and have successfully powered it up on a linux box, to access the files.   I attempted a graphical copy of the folders.
It seems that a lot of the itunes Library copied over using drag & drop, however a majority did not, and I think it is M4A format or a hash tag files that do not come over.
I can search and find the folders and files, so they are there. Howewer with a 10K song + library this will take forever to do artist by artist.
Has anyone experienced this, or is there an easier way I'm not finding?
Appreciate the help

Use SyncToy 2.1 to transfer the files. Unlike the Windows copy function it can carry on working even when there are individual files that it can't copy.

I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud

Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

I can copy a URL, but cannot paste it in the body of an e-mail. Also doen't hypelink it. I do not have this problem using Internet Explorer..

When I copy a URL and go to paste it in an e-mail, it won't paste. Some other box opens. I can paste the URL in the subject line, but doesn't hyperlink it. (blue) When using Internet Explorer, I don't have this problem. I'm new to FF with a new computer.

Did you try to use the keyboard to paste?
* Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert
* Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert
* Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

I can't import the songs on my ipod shuffle to my new computer

Hi all, I was wondering if you can help. I had my itunes installed on a freinds computer. I now have my own computer and have connected my ipod and installed itunes. I have been able to import the songs I purchased from itunes onto the new computer, but cannot seem to import the songs from the shuffle to the itunes library. I cannot get access to the old computer to make a copy. Can you please advise a way to import the songs from the shuffle to this itunes on my new computer. Many thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward, just check for one that soecifically state they work with the iPod shufle. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
There is also manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location mention for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.
