DVD drive stopped working after Mavericks install

I have a Macbook Pro (late 08 model) that was running Snow Leopard. I recently did a clean install of Mavericks and since then the DVD drive just spins and ejects discs without being able to read them (doesn't seem to matter what I use. Software, games, audio cds, etc..). It was working fine before installing Mavericks and I can still boot from the DVD drive (old snow leopard boot disc) but it won't read any discs once booted into the OS even though the OS is detecting the drive just not the disc when inserted.
I've tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and resetting the SMC as suggested on other forums but like many others with the same issue it didn't help. I also cycled through several drutil commands as suggested to "wake up" the drive but that didn't help any either.
I'm kind of stumped here guys. I could roll back to Snow Leopard but I've got some software thats dropping support so I'd rather be running Mavericks if I can sort out this DVD drive issue. Clearly its not the drive itself since it worked fine before and I can boot from it. Any ideas?

Hrm looks like I might of fixed it. I went back after seeing another post about spamming drutil commands to "wake up" the drive and just spammed them about 20 or so times and the drive started working again.
I'm still very confused as to why it just stopped working within the OS after installing Mavericks (yet I was still able to boot from the DVD just fine). Clearly something is bugged in mavericks. I even came across a post on the apple forums from someone with this issue and it was effecting both his late 08 and early 2013 Macbook Pros.
I'll keep an eye on my own machine to see if it stops working again but for now it seems my drive is "fixed" go figure.

After Effects CS6 stopped working after Mavericks install

I started getting a - You cant use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CS6 with this version of OS X 10.9.1 - You have Adobe After Effects CS6" 11.0 - all my other Adobe CS6 programs are working - photoshop, premiere, bridge ect. Is this a delete and re install or is there a way around this problem?

You have to run the update for AE. You may have to use the uninstaller and then re-install. I'm guessing that this started after you ran an update for your OS.
When you ask a question assume that we know nothing about your system or your history with that system. We can provide better help if we know if your system worked before, what changed, and anything else that pertains to your problem. Something as simple as an automatic update to your virus protection can kill another app.

Camera stops working after Mavericks install

Ever since the first upgrade to Mavericks my camera goes in/out. A full reboot will restore it, it will work for one or two skype/hangout/facetime calls (app does not seem to matter), but then it will disappear again "no camera detected in preferences" and I'll have to reboot again.
I have a 15" MacBookPro Retina Mid 2012
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Obviously I have the latest Mavericks update, and I also have performed all of the suggestions given here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6431 already.
I'm frustrated and would welcome any advice,
Thanks!

You cannot have done everything recommended in the https://discussions.apple.com/ docs/DOC-6431 tip.
One of the suggestions from the How to Troubleshoot iSight link included in the tip is to "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service." (MBP link added here.)
Unless you decided that the estimated repair cost is prohibitive, they would have made your Mac work properly.

Mountain Lion 1.8.2 update made my dual monitor stop working on Mac Pro mid 2012

Just done Apple's update for Mac OS X Mountain Lion to 1.8.2 and after rebooting my dual monitor stopped working.
If I go on preferences -> Displays it shows me only one of my two monitors, even if I invert the connections the 2nd monitor doesn't shows up and there seems no way to enable it again.
Any suggestion?
P.S. I already tried to set from "Best for display" to "Scaled", but after rebooting Mountain Lion 1.8.2 reset it to "Best for display"

Ok,
did some extra test here, but first of all my configuration:
Mac Pro (Mid 2012) with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB.
2 LCD 24" Wide-screen (1st monitor Hyundai W240D and 2nd Monitor HP w2448hc), both LCD worked perfectly until reboot after installing OS X 1.8.2
After reboot only the 1st monitor wored fine, the 2nd not even listed, so tried to invert cable connections on the 2 miniports on the ATI video card, but nothing changed, still only the 1st monitor working.
Did a second test, disconnected the 1st monitor and connected ONLY the 2nd and now the second works fine.
Tried to connect 2nd monitor on a different miniport, and i still works fine.
Updated my MacBook Pro to 1.8.2 (it as an nVidia card) and connected my 2nd monitor to it and everything works fine, both the laptop LCD and my HP LCD are working fine.
So it looks like Apple screwed up the ATI driver on the latest 1.8.2, now only ONE miniport is active.
To all users with the same Mac Pro configuration: hold to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2 until Apple fix this driver issue.
More info are on the Console output, so will have to contact Apple on-line support to signal this bug.

External monitor stopped working after 10.6.7 update

I have a MacBook Pro, model identifier MacBookPro6,2 with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
When I updated last night from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 I stopped being able to use my Dell S2409W external monitor.
I have tried resetting the pram, resetting the SMC, booting with extensions off.
When I plug in the cable to the external monitor the Mac screen goes blue for about 0.5 second and re-appears but nothing displays on the external monitor; a second monitor is not listed in the Display preferences and the monitor reports that it is not receiving a signal.
I don't see anything in the system.log when I plug or unplug the monitor cable (I'm not sure if I should).
At random intervals while the external monitor cable is plugged in the screen goes blue for a half second and then re-appears.
The screen does not go blue if I wiggle or flex the monitor cable.

I see this in the windowserver.log after reboot, login with shift-key, and the external monitor connected.
There might be a clue here but I don't have anything to compare it to since I haven't collected these data when the external monitor was working.
I'd be curious to see the same data from the windowserver.log for somebody else with a MacBook Pro with an external monitor connected that does work.
You can view this log with the console application located: /Applications/Utilities/console.
If you are willing to share these data please reboot, and hold the shift-key down when logging in to disable extensions (thanks). If you look at the time just when the desktop appears when you end up looking at the windowserver.log you'll be able to see the windowserver starting up about 10 seconds prior to this time.

External display no longer works after Mavericks install

I have a minidisplay port to DVI adapter that connects my Macbook Pro to my television through HDMI port (cable is HDMI to DVI).
This has worked fine for over 2 years, but as soon as I upgraded my Leopard OS to Mavericks, it stopped working.
A side topic is that my Android TV media centre also stopped working as it can no longer connect to my Macbook Pro (it used to work for the past few years).
What am I doing wrong? How can I solve my problems? I have tried everything on the forums, but nothing works at all.
Help, please, pretty please with sugar on top and a cherry!
Carlos

I'm not sure how installing an application would cause that to happen. Have you shut down (powered off) the iMac completely, and then restarted, since this problem occurred?
Some display settings are stored in PRAM, so if you have not already, try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, you can try disconnecting the iMac from power and reconnecting it, using the reset SMC (power management) procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
When you reconnect it, initially connect the iMac to a wall outlet, by itself. Leave all peripherals disconnected, except for your USB keyboard/mouse. Make sure it is working properly, then connect only the external display.
If it still does not work, as a test, start up with your Mac OS X installation disc. You are not installing anything, but note if the second display is displaying the background image or not when you are booted from a different system.

Yahoo messenger voice chat stopped working (after archive & install)

I have an iMac5 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz. I (actually my wife) was using Yahoo Messenger v3.0 beta 4 (built 156957) for all chat and voice chat. About 2 months ago voice chat stopped working. when i send invite, it keeps ringing (but the receiver never sees any invite). When the other person sends me an invite, I don't get anything.
I have downloaded Gizmo, but it also keeps "connecting...".
About 2 months ago, I had to archive and install to solve a Java update issue which was causing wierd problems. Thanks to BDAqua's advice I managed to resolve that. I have J2SE 1.4.2 and 5.0; everything else is working fine.
What can cause voice chat to stop working? Is there some vc plugin in library that needs to be there, which has disappearted after my "archive and install'? Please advise. thanks Fahd

Hi again Fahdali,
Have you tried reinstalling it since then?

Admin password not working after Mavericks install

I have installed OS X Mavericks on a Mac mini (upgrade from OS X 10.8). After the install I can't log in to the admin account using my regular password. However, the other account, not having admin rights, works fine in the Mavericks OS. But I need access to the admin account as well! How can I reset the password? I have no recent backup.

Boot keys stopped working after Leopard install

I have seen others having this problem in another thread but no answers, so thought I'd give it a go.
After reading these threads finally got Leopard to install and run okay. Many thanks all. But, along the way, my boot keys stopped working. It doesn't matter what I hold down, whether 'c' or 'cmd-opt-p-r' or 'shift' or any other key combination the machine just boots straight into Leopard.
I have tried resetting the PMU (or whatever it is these days) via the internal button in desperation but still no luck.
Anyone with any ideas?

Same problem here, so I'll pull this post up. No key works.
I always have to go to the Start Drive (or whatever it's called in english) in Preferences Panes and choose the partition I wish to start directly in OSX or Windows for booting back to OSX. This is very annoying. Alt key won't show up any possible boot disk although their both internal drives.
If someone would kindly post any ideas how to change that, would be great. I've done a fresh install, with a Time Machine recovery, but this didn't seem to help.
EDIT:
I found another subjet here from november '07:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224639
it seems the new Apple Keyboard is the origin of the Problem on iMac Core Duo. Apple techs said that a new firmeware should be coming before the end of 2007 (but it's february 2008 now ?!?). Any other ideas how to get this work ? I'll write on Aplpe feedback page for sure. Maybe the other boot keys aren't working because of this keyboard too.

8i on NT Listener stops working after Designer install

We installed Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0 on NT. Database worked fine. After installing Designer 6.0, the Listener will not start.
FYI, for the Designer installation, we used the same ORACLE_HOME name as the database, but a different directory location. Any suggestions?
Please redirect us to another forum if appropriate.
Thanks,

Ravi,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
1. Your answer would suggest that we have not installed the products in the proper order. Would you suggest that we de-install and re-install in the order you listed?
2. Could the installation order have caused the Listener to stop working?
3. Can you suggest another approach to resolving the Listener issue other than re-installing Designer and Oracle 8i in the order you suggested?
Thanks again,
-Don & Van

9i Report Builder stops working after 10g install

I have the 9i Developer Suit installed and recently I installed the 10g Developer Suit. After installing the 10g Developer Suit the 9i Report Builder stopped working. When I try to start it, it hangs at the launch screen. All the other apps in the 9i and 10g Developer Suits seem to work except for the 9i Report Builder. Please Help.

Nope. The 10g report builder works fine. The issue is only with the 9i report builder.

CDMA USB Modem Not Working After Mavericks Install

I use my LG VX9100 (Env2) as a CDMA USB internet modem, and it worked fine in Mountain Lion on a Mid 2012 Macbook Air and all other Macs I tried it with. After upgrading to Mavericks, I am not allowed to initiate a connection because the I get a message of "No SIM" after it tries to initialize from the menubar. The phone works fine and I have confirmed that all of the settings are the same. The phone is on Verizon, so the phone has never had a SIM card. This all worked prior to the Mavericks install, so it appears to be a bug. Any suggestions of what to try?

Hi, no drivers were required in the past, basically just had to type in the phone number as the account name followed by @vzw3g.com and enter VZW as a password and it would connect right up using the built in cell data of the phone plan. Only works with dumbphones as far as I know.
So, unless mavericks is subtracting features rather than adding them, the built in drivers should still be there. I have tested it with 10.6 through 10.8 and settings are accesable via the "Network" PrefPane and it always recognized it from a fresh install of OSX. The following article suggests that they have been built into OSX since OS 10.2:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/how-to-use-your-cdma-cellphone-as-a-usb-modem /
That article was written in 2005 and said that some carriers would need a driver, but I know for sure that more were added since then as I have used built in drivers from 10.6 to 10.8.
Windows may need drivers, but mac has had most CDMA drivers built in for over 10 years now. The VX9100 uses a generic vendor driver, but OSX had selections for most major cell phone manufacturers built in for any custom requirements. There just doesn't seem to be a reason to get rid of the feature now.
Given the fact that it does show up in the menubar like it used to shows that the mac can tell that it is a modem and has the drivers there, but they aren't working properly.
