Cannot open preview at all since upgrade to Mavericks

cannot open preview at all since upgrade to Mavericks

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

I cannot open Photoshop Elements 10 since upgrading to OS 10.9 on my Mac Mini. Why? Solution?

can anyone explain why I cannot open Elements 10 since I upgraded to OS 10.9 on my mac mini?

It is very important to delete the preferences on doing a major OS X upgrade:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
For PSE 10 that would be:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer.10.plist
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.10.0.plist
Also, there's a known bug between adobe applications and using cover flow view in finder windows in 10.9:

so be sure to put your windows into list or icon view.

Cannot open new finder window after upgrading to Maverick 10.9.2

Hello friends,
I am experiencing a very strange issue.
I cannot access the contents of my files via the finder. I can access my files via open or save as from separate applications.
I have tried the following:
Finder ---> New Finder Window (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
Double-clicking on existing folders (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
Double-clicking on the icon of my Macintosh HD (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
From Dock, click on downloaded document and choose "Open in Finder" (finder flashes or switches to an existing open application)
From iPhoto, select a photo, and select "Reveal in Finder" (nothing happens)
Restart machine has not fixed the issue
After several tries, I get an error displaying that there was an issue with the finder.
I am running Maverick 10.9.2

Unfortunately, Finder is a part of OS level files. So, we have a couple of options.
First off, let's see if there's a software conflict somewhere. Boot into safe mode (boot the comptuer with the shift key held down) and try there. If it works in safe mode, odds are we either have a 3rd party KEXT or application blocking its launch. Check your login items (Apple -> System Preferences -> users & groups -> select your user -> login items), and disable them.
Also check your startup items (you'll have to do this in safe mode as it requires Finder).
/library/startupitems
If Safe Mode/removing startup/login items doesn't work:
First, boot in to the recovery partition (boot the computer with command + r held down). Launch disk utility, and repair both disk permissions and the disk. Reboot and try again.
If that fails, boot into recovery again, and reinstall.

Since upgrading to Mavericks I have to force shut down to close frozen applications

Hi all,
Since upgrading to Mavericks I have experienced several times that sometimes when an application close a simple force quit is not enough. The application will disappear from my dock but remain on screen with the spinning ball, and any instances of the application I try to open will also freeze instantly. The only way to clear them is to do a force shut down via the power button on the back of my computer. I have experienced this with Mail, VLC and Finder so I do not think this an issue with a specific program. If anyone is having the same problem or has an idea of how to fix it, it would be much appreciated

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Since upgrading to mavericks, JPEGs that I open in Preview are scrambled. PDFs work ok.

I use a mid 2011 Mac and since upgrading to Mavericks I cannot open jpeg files using Preview, they simply appear as a scrambled mess. The actual jpeg files are ok as I can open them using other applications. Note, I can view pdfs using Preview, its just the jpegs that are the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks etresoft, I reinstalled Mavericks and Preview works perfectly now.
Cheers!!

Trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks

trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks, what do I need to do please ?

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto. Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
All other internet email activities work just fine.

And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way? There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it

Running the latest OS Mavericks. 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions. Repaired disk permissions - no help.

I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac). 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions. Repaired Disk Permissions - no help. Repaired disk - no problems indicated. Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period. Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

Yes. Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08. Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):
2/11/14 1:01:16.577 PM Microsoft Word[1912]: OTAtomicAdd32 is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please stop using it.
Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome.

All folders in import menus for After effects are greyed out since upgrade to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks yesterday - all folders in the import menus (and save menus) are greyed out. I cannot access sub folders or even import a .mov directly from the desktop. All files and folders are greyed out.
I can use the "Open with" command on indivdual files which seems to work, but it's very inconvenient when working with multiple files.
Any ideas?
I have patched After effects with the 12.01 bug fix already...

Cannot open Preview software anymore.

I cannot open Preview. I get a message that "it may be damaged or incomplete". Any help will be appreciated.

Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Boot from your 10.6 installation DVD by inserting it, restarting, and holding down the C key until the Apple logo appears. Run the installer. After rebooting, run Software Update to bring the system up to date.

Cannot Access Disks on Time Capsule Since Upgrading to Mavericks

Hey folks...
So I've had this set up for several years, and it's worked out well. I have a time capsule with an external (self-powered) harddrive connected to it via USB. I usually access it via ethernet as the connection is more speedy than wifi, and my laptop generally remains stationary. For what it's worth, I'm using a Macbook Pro (mid-2010), with the original time capsule (500gb) as well as a connected Western Digital (1tb) external harddrive.
Since upgrading to Mavericks, however, I have not been able to consistently access the remote disks, either by wifi or ethernet connection. The time capsule shows up under my "shared" section of the finder window, but the drives (which are usually visible and accessible from within the time capsule) are not there. Strange enough, when I go into my Airport Utility for Time Capsule preferences, the disks are visible under the "disks" section.
The time capsules' firmware is up to date, as well as the laptop's. I have tried reseting the time capsule as well as my computer in addition to simply unplugging/plugging it back in. I was able to access the disks on a fluke once in the last few days, but after moving the computer away from it's standard spot, the disks are once again no longer accessible.
I had Server 2.0 but am unable to use it since upgrading the OS and haven't purchased Server 3.0. Any suggestions for solutions? Could residule configurations having to do with the Server functionality be affecting it? I'm guessing it is something to do with Mavericks. Thanks for any help or feedback.
Mitchel

I don't have a guaranteed solution to your problem, just some suggestions:
1) Try powering down the Time Capsule for at least 15 minutes, then plug it in again and see if it works better.
2) If you suspect that heat might be a problem, try raising the Time Capsule to give better air flow below it. I have mine on an inverted plastic-coated-wire basket of the type used to organize kitchen drawers.
3) If AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule, you should be able to use the "archive" function (in the Disks panel, Disks tab) to write the disk's contents to a drive connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
4) In the worst case, you should be able to access the files on the Time Capsule's disk by opening up the Time Capsule, removing the disk drive, mounting the drive in an external enclosure, and attaching the enclosure to your Mac.
