Cannot sign in to iMessage on Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9

Everytime I try to sign in to iMessage I get this message. My Apple ID and password are both correct. I have used them to sign in the multiple apps on multiple devices today. I upgraded to Mavericks not too long ago and have not been able to sign in since. I had iChat before, which worked fine. iMessage works in my iPhone and iPad. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
In Applications/Utilities open the Keychain Access app.
Make the Login keychain the highlighted item top left.
And the Passwords the item bottom left.
On the right hand pane find anything that relates to iMessages.
Most likely you will have something that starts IDS: yourAppleID-Auth token
Restart the app.

Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?
rbarge

Contacts sync via iCloud.
Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

I have a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks and safari consistently freezes. It takes several 'return/enter' presses to get to the page I requested. I have seen other comments and replies on how to fix (clear cache, clear extensions/plug-ins), to no avail.

I have a new macbook pro running mavericks and only using Safari as my browser. 75% of my url requests are 'hung up' and freeze. I have seen other posts and have tried to clear cache, reset safari, remove extensions, but to no avail.
Any recommendations?

If it works in a new user account, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

From about this Mac -Storage, my only HDD is full. there are 144 GB on Backups. How find and delete it. Macbook pro running Maverick OS X.

Hi, From about this Mac, my only HDD is full. When I have clicked and opened Storage screen when I've saw that there are 144 GB on Backups. I don't know which backup is it. and I really need help to find and delete it. I have Macbook pro running Maverick OS X.
I have a external HDD for time machine, but this backup I didn't know yet.
Please pleople... someone could help me? I'm in troubles.
Sandro

Linc Davis, According below: could I delete those snapshots from MobileBackups folder?   would it solve my problem? ( if I want not my HDD 80% full)     - Thank you a lot in advance.
Ordinarily, the best way to view your Local snapshots is via the normal Time Machine display, perquestion #15. If for some reason that's not working, you can see them via the Finder.
From a Finder menubar, select Go > Go to Folder and type /Volumes in the prompt, and select theMobileBackups folder.   You'll see the same structure as for Time Machine backups on a separate volume: a Backups.backupdb folder containing a folder for your Mac, which contains a time-stamped folder for each snapshot. Inside each of those is a folder for each disk/partition that was backed-up, containing the same folder structure as on the original, with the contents as of the time of the backup.
Note that nothing in the size column is meaningful (if you Get Info on the MobileBackups folder, for example, it will show the total amount of space on the drive it's on!   It will show dashes for the Backups.backupdb folder, or any of the dated snapshot folders).

New Retina Macbook Pro running mavericks gets stuck at one minute during setup when coping files via USB

Running setup on a late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro for the first time process gets stuck saying "Less then a minute remaining". Transfer is via USB from a clone of my drive on an external drive that is bootable from my 2007 Macbook Pro running 10.68. Have run disk utility on drive and fixed premissions in advance of running set up. Have had the same happen when I activate the new Retina Macbook Pro without running setup and then running Migration ***'nt later.

How do I install Lion on a partition on a 2012 Macbook pro running Mavericks?

I need to run software for which the latest OS that it is compatible with is OSX 10.7. How can I install 10.7 on a partition in my Mavericks Macbook pro?

Another way to find out is to call Apple (or stop at the nearest Genius Bar) and give them your serial number - they will be able to tell you with that.
FWIW, if you bought it used and it had Mavericks on it but the original OS was anything earlier than that, the seller didn't do you any favors as any OS (or app) purchased/downloaded from the app store is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever - and it is not transferable. What that means is that unless he did a complete erase and reinstall the original OS (as required by the licensing agreement), you won't be able to update any apps and/or won't be able to reinstall as you'll be prompted for the seller's Apple ID/password.
So, let's figure out what it came with first; then you can try internet recovery (press Command + Option + R keys during boot up until you see it is connected to Apple's servers); in the Utilities screen, choose Disk Utility and erase your drive. When finished, back to the Utilities screen, choose reinstall OS X. While in Disk Utility, you should be able to re-partition - although I can't guarantee that'll work at that point because I've never tried it, but I don't see why it shouldn't. After you have it installed on one partition, install it again on the other partition. Once that's done, you can download/install Yosemite (or whatever) on one of the partitions using your own Apple ID.
Note: you must erase your entire drive in order to do any of the above.

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

CS5 Photoshop/Bridge/Suite not working on new Retina Macbook Pro, running Mavericks 10.9.2

I recently purchased a new Retina MacBook Pro laptop running Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. I had Apple perform a data migration of all my apps and files from my older laptop onto the new one. Now when I go to open Photoshop CS5 I receive the following error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." Photoshop will then open but I can't do anything in the app. When I go to quit Photoshop I get this error message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I am able to open Bridge, however the app in entiretly is noticeably lo-res and pixelated looking, so clearly something is not up to speed there either.
InDesign and Illustrator are also having issues.
I have run the System Update and it does not show anything in the CS5 Suite needing to be updated.
Please advise! Thank you.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

MacBook Pro running Mavericks

My MacBook pro thinks it is connected to the internet. However when I try to do anything it just hangs. I have tried restarting but this does not work. Is there a special ket combination to use to get it to switch back to factory settings?
I have no CD and no internet connection so it has to be something I can do without either of these.
Thanks

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.

HT204291 I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OS 10.9.2 and discovered that my airplay mirroing feature to my AppleTV (version 6.1) is not working. Is there any fix for it? I have been waiting for 4 months for a patch to come out. Any ideas?

Any ideas on a patch or fix for the Airplay mirroing feature to AppleTV? Home sharing to AppleTV is also broken after I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2.
Thanks.

Hardware Test on MacBook Pro running Mavericks not working, Help!

Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone can help me get the Apple Hardware Test working on my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro (model 9,1) running OS X Mavericks v10.9.5.
It came with Mountain Lion pre-installed. I successfully ran Apple Hardware Test when I received it by holding D while powering up. No problem. Since then I have done nothing involving OS X other than installing Mavericks.
Recently I have installed some RAM and wanted to test it. I find the Apple Hardware Test no longer works. The mac simply boots into the username screen as usual.
Here's what I've tried:
0. Reading instructions on Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support. Ensured Mac was plugged in, and confirmed I pressed D prior to grey screen, and confirmed I held it down. No effect.
1. Pressed Option-D while powering up. No effect.
2. Searched for .diagnostics directory in /System/Library/Core Services/.diagnostics
It didn't appear to be there. (I don't know why, I can only guess that the upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks must have hosed it)
So, I found instructions on how to obtain the AHT .dmg file for my version of MacBook Pro and downloaded it.
It's at this link by the way:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Hardware_Test/022-5879-A.dmg
Then copied the .diagnostics directory from the .dmg into the /System/Library/Core Services/ directory on my HDD.
Tried again, pressing D after powering up. No success. Option-D, same thing.
So, I don't know what else to do. IEverything I have read indicates the test should run. It doesn't.
Can anyone help?
BTW: I don't have an install disk. System came with Mountain Lion pre-installed and I subsequently upgraded to Mavericks a while later.
Thanks in advance,
- BS

Forget the code yoyu have a hardware problem. Only Apple, or a AASP, knows the codes and what they mean. Take it to a genius bar.

How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
{quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
What no BACKUP'
To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

Macbook Pro running Mavericks has fans running and constantly losing disc space

I installed Mavericks on my macbook pro (2.4Ghz intel core 2 duo, about 8 years old) in late october.
Since then, it's been running a bit slow quite a lot, and then has gradually developed more and more of a problem:
- fans blow alot of the time
- it loses disc space all the time, including when asleep
I did a reinstall from a back up a few weeks ago and this seemed to improve things for a bit, but today I woke it up this morning to find that my disc space had gone down to 60mb and this continued to dwindel until it was showing nothing, and couldn't function.
Around then I got a SMART warnign that my drive was goign to fail.
Opening it in safe mode it worked, with the fans not blowing at all and with a bit more hard drive space.
I did a bit of reparing permissions in disj utitlity and using disk warrior. DIsk warrior hardware check finds its working ok.
I used Grand Perspective and foudn that two lost+found files were each taking up 4gb of space. After reading around I tired out putting them in the trash and rebotting, and then when my machine was ok in normal mode, I deleted them.
I now have 10gb of space and in normal mode, my fans are even not blowing. So something seems possibly to be fixed for the moment.
I've turned off dropbox.
However:
- the amount of space is possibly still going down (from 10.6gb to 10.14gb in the past half hour) and I'm just running safari.
- should I basically do a clean install of mavericks?
Any advice much appreciated!

I should also add that it has the problem where when it goes to sleep it's 50/50 as to whether it will wake up or not. If I click 'put hard disks to sleep when possible', it wakes up fine, but I don't like doing this.
