Can't Access Safari after upgrading to Mavericks

I upgraded to Mavericks the other day and since then I have not been able to get on Safari or open any .pdf files. In addition, windows keep popping in asking for passwords that I have never seen before. I need my computer to work! Any suggestions?

You can spend a lot of time troubleshooting your problems, or you can cut to the chase and re-install Mavericks. Reboot from the Mavericks Recovery Drive by holding down Command+R or the option key when you reboot. Then from the Recovery Drive you can download and install Mavericks (OS X 10.9.10). Hopefully that will restore full functionlity to Safari and PDF files. As to the password requests can you be more specific in what passwords are requested?

  • Can't log in after upgrading to mavericks

    After upgrading to Mavericks, I at first seemed to lose the 2nd HD (all data), then list the ability to log in
    Help!

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Can I revert back after upgrading to Mavericks operating system? Can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Can I revert back to a previous operating system after upgrading to Mavericks? Since installing Mavericks I can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Thanks, for your replies. I've got a late 2012 iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5). I was previously running Snow Leopard - Not sure exactly what version but it was right up to date.
    The Adobe software I'm using is the Creative Cloud. Specifically InDesign cc. Whenever I try to browse folders through the InDesign software the browser window closes before I can do what I need to do. So I cant place images into my InDesign document or save documents properly.
    On the Adobe website it says that they worked with apple to fix any bugs before the Mavericks release but there's lots of complaints on the forums. I've left a bug notification with Adobe but I don't expect that they will be offering any solutions or software updates any time soon.
    I really just want to revert back without too much trouble.

  • I can't access safari after exchanging faulty phone for a new one today

    I have just had my first iphone exchanged today at the apple store for a new one - faulty microphone.  They started it all up for me, and I came home and synced all my apps etc.  But i found that they weren't downloading and I couldn't access safari and therefore couldn't open up gmail etc.  So I decided to restore my iphone to original settings.  That has helped with being able to download all my apps but I still can't access safari.  I'm not sure what to do now.  And feel that I will have to return to town and get it sorted out, unless someone can help me here.

    Is the Safari icon there? If it isn't, check your Restrictions in Settings<General<Restrictions. Safari may have been turned off.
    If it is there, what is happening when you connect to the internet? You may want to reset your network settings in Settings<General<Reset<Network Settings

  • Can't launch Safari after upgrade to 10.5

    Dang Upgraded to Leopard (OS 10.5) from 10.4.11. When launching Safari, it refused to start and sent me error message "PithHelmet version xxx.xx.x hasnt been tested with Safari 3.x so it won't launch."
    After that, I have disabled and removed PithHelmet from the system. No go. I have tried indtalling new version of Safari after deleting ALL Safari files: No go. New Safari won't even install. It says "System need to be 10.5.2 or later" but I DO have 10.5.4 now!
    What on earth can I do?

    This is a common mistake, so you should take note to avoid doing this in the future. Just because a program isn't working for you is not a good enough reason to delete it, especially when you have no idea of the ramifications of your actions, which you and many others who have done this obviously didn't. You've created a lot more work and frustration for yourself, and you solved no problem.
    If you want to install Safari, you cannot use a download, so you might as well trash it now; it will not work no matter what you do.
    Instead, you need to do this, exactly:
    1. Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    2. Navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file. This will let you install Safari 3.0.4. When that's done, quit the installer and eject the disc.
    3. Reboot your Mac and download the 10.5.4 Combo Update and install it again. When finished, use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then restart your Mac and try Safari.

  • Can't access IPhoto after upgrade to Yosemite

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and can't access iPhoto.  I've tried to install the upgrade, but it just sits there saying Installing, but nothing is working.  Tried the IPhoto Upgrader without success.  It says that it was not necessary for me to use the upgrader.  Help!  I need access to all of my pics!

    Use Launchpad to cancel the download and try again.

  • Can't access photos after upgrade to iPhoto 11

    I upgraded OSX to 10.8.2 and iPhoto from 9 to 11. Using Library Manager, I opened the first "old" iPhoto library and followed the screen instructions to upgrade it for iPhoto 11. A message came up stating that there were some errors in the library, so I chose to repair it. After the repair, that library opened perfectly, but when I try to open other libraries to upgrade them, only the first one that was upgraded opens. It's seems like all of my libraries have become the first one. Is there still a way to access the other libraries?
    Rick

    but when I try to open other libraries to upgrade them, only the first one that was upgraded opens.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • Can't access photos after upgrade to cloud

    I have an iMac 2.5 GHz with 4 GB memory, currently running OS X 10.10.3. I updated photo and went to use the new cloud storage of my photos. The system was updating fine it loaded about 5,100 of the 8,200 photos to the cloud. However now it is not updating for it has been updating the last ~3,000 images for 24hrs. Also if  I try to open the application Photo, I receive a message that "Photo must quit because  the photo library has become corrupt or is unavailable". I'm concerned and not sure what to do.
    I have a Macbook air that is also upgraded and with that device I can access photo iCloud but only the 5.100 photos.

    Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

  • I can't update iPhoto after upgrading to Mavericks

    I have searched everywhere for my iLife '11 disc and can't find it.  App Store says I must update iPhoto, iMovie etc, but won't accept my Apple id.  Can't talk to apple support without first agreeing to pay $60!!. Can someone tell me what to do next??

    App Store says I must update iPhoto, iMovie etc, but won't accept my Apple id.
    If your versions of iPhoto, etc have been installed using a different AppleID, then you have to ask the person who installed it to authorize the update.
    Or uninstall the current versions and buy the updatetd versions.
    If you are sure, that the versions have been accepted to your current AppleID, there may be aproblem with your AppleID. Sometimes an AppleID will be disabled for use with the AppStore for security reasons. Do you get an error message, that indicates a problem with your AppleID?

  • After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access iTunes Store.

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access to iTunes stores. The layout for Mac AppStore also doesn't display properly. Perhaps the most annoying part is when I need to access secure website (even google.com), where I need to authorize the certificate. My current connection is behind proxy, but have no issues on all this issues before upgrading to Maverick. Please assist.

    Hello segordon21,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To move voice memos to your computer please follow the steps from the iOS 8 Help below.
    Move recordings to your computer
    You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, then listen to them on your computer or sync them with another iPhone or iPod touch.
    When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but is deleted from any other iPhone or iPod touch you synced. If you delete a synced voice memo on iPhone, it’s copied back to iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
    Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone. Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies), select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
    Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
    Move recordings to your computer
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
