  • Serious external drive problems after installing Mavericks

    OK, so now I am seeing multiple external drive problems. Here is my setup: A GTech 4TB drive connected to MacBook Pro via Firewire, formatted of 2 partitions of 2TB each (called GT1 and GT2). This is then daisy chained to two WD drives of 2TB each, called WD1 and WD2.
    After installing Mavericks everything worked fine (in fact I have an amazing speed increase). However, after restarting my machine this morning I have the following issues:
    The GTech is now a single partition called MyBook (obviously a hangover from the WD drives. I suspect the WD drive managment software) with NO data files. Interestingly it shows the following USED 1,106,870,272 bytes (1.11 GB on disk). This suggests that one of the partitions has disapeared completely.
    Whilst WD 1 launces ok, WD 2 causes the Finder to relaunch whenever selected, meaning I can't get to the files. I remember having this problem before when I upgraded to SL, and it having something to do with hidden files that needed to be deleted via the terminal. However, I have searched the web and can't find the solution again.
    Given that WD 1 and 2 are my backups of GT 1 and 2, then I now have a situation where I cannot access my primary or backup files for GT 2. Very impressive - not!
    Can anbody remember the hidden file solution for the finder relaunch?
    Can anybody help me get back my GT1 and 2 partitions (as they have the latest work on them)?

    FIrewire & Thunder bolt drives are having issues with Mavericks, avoid same until a fix is issued if you can.
    many are reporting same, there is a firewire fault and TB HD on external HD from LaCie (Seagate) and from WD especially.
    Technicians are looking into it.
    Until there is resolution, consider setting up a USB ext. Time machine HD.
    Until then consider confining Mavericks use with USB HD.
    Ive tested a very long line of USB HD on Mavericks, all seem fine.
    Recommend anyone DO NOT ATTACH any WD MyBook externals (firewire, thunderbolt or otherwise).     
    I dont have same to test, so I dont know if the problem is in the firmware on the SATA bridge or if its a problem with the WD software

  • Mavericks - Word for Mac, saving docs problem after installing Mavericks

    I have Word for Mac. Since installing Mavericks, when I download a document, I am unable to 'save as'  to anywhere but downloads folder. When I select the folder I want save the doc to, 'save' greys out. Help!

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, 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.

  • How do i pause quick time recording ? having problem after installing maverick

    i have been having issue with quick time recording . after installing this Maverick i and no longer able to pause the Recording.
    nothing happens when i press the option key.
    done any one know the fix
    Thanks

    Ski Farm,
    I hope you are doing well today! The suggestion provided by altenbach is really good. Alternatively, you can also use a global variable and an event or case structure, to pause the execution of a VI. I have attached an example of a subVI, called by the mainVI, which displays the current iterative count of a while loop. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

  • ICloud problems after installing Maverick

    I installed OS X last night and ever since I haven't been able to log on to iCloud through system preferences.  When I first when to iCloud through SP I noticed it was using my old Apple ID so I logged out and tried to sign again, that's when the problem started.  Please help!
    Exact message is "you can't sign in at this time.  Try signing in again"

    Exactly the same problem and more!!!!!
    ...and this is after the Mail and ibooks update.
    (1)
    >Mail >Preferences >Accounts > >"iCloud" button >Continue >Enter Apple ID and Password >Sign In AND
    I'm bounced back to
    >Mail >Preferences >Accounts where nothing has changed.
    OR
    (2)
    >Mail >Accounts >"ICloud" >Enter Apple ID and Password >Sign In AND
    I get "Already signed is as myname.me.com and This iClound account already exits."
    >OK  AND I'm back to
    >Mail >Accounts where nothing has changed.
    (3) When the icloud account is showing as being inactive I click on the iclound account and it opens the box that is supposed to show what the account uses: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Messages, and other apps. 
    All it shows is my Apple ID and my Apple ID and mail address, but nothing else. 
    (4)
    So, I delete
    >Mail >Accounts >"icloud" interent account then the
    > to add a new internet account. 
    I click on "iCloud" and enter my "name.me.com" and Password then
    >Sign in" and I get
    "You can't sign in at this time.  Try signing in again." 
    When I try to sign in again I get the same message.
    (5)
    My Contacts were not syncing with iCloud or showing any files stored on icloud.
    BUT, I fixed this by deleting all the files in
    >"User" >Library >Application Support >Addressbook...
    and then copied over the Time Machine backup files from the same folder (from before the Mavericks download). 
    This worked to sync with iCloud and get back my contacts stored on iCloud.
    (6)
    My Calendar is also not syncing with iCloud or showing information stored on iCloud.
    I tried (5) above as for Contacts, but Calendar files in
    >"User" >Library >Calendars...
    No luck here.

  • Pages problems after installing Mavericks OS

    After in upgrading to Mavericks OS, I am having issues with Pages application. I  can successfully insert a hyperlink in a document, however when I insert a url that includes a pdf it occasionally will not take or accept it. Two urls can be almost identical but for some reason one consistently is rejected.  Has anyone had a similar issue, or know how to resolve?   I thought that maybe the conflict  is the inclusion of the character "®" in the URL, but both urls include it.
    For example, this link can be inserted successfully:
    http://www.heatsavershades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Weather_HeatSaver%C2%A E_Testing_Data_02_06_to_02_20_14.pdf
    This does not:
    http://www.heatsavershades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Weather_HeatSaver%C2%A E_Testing_Data_03_09_to_03_22_14.pdf
    I did notice that "HeatSaver®" became "HeatSaver%C2%AE"  when I pasted the urls above, but the first one works nevertheless, and you can see it is almost identical except for sequence of dates at ends of urls.
    Anyone have a clue?
    Thank you!

    Use Tinyurl for messed up URLs.  Odd characters like these can also mess up e-mail programs.     http://www.tinyurl.com/
    I suggest the author of the said website stick to known URL conventions, and doesn't use special characters in their file naming.

  • Preview app and retina display problem after installing Maverick

    Hi everyone, i upgraded to Maverick yesterday and i now have a problem with the software "Preview 7.0". I've got a macbook pro 13" retina.
    Before Maverick i could visualise image in high resolution using Preview, and the 100% view was showing the image full quality. Now my Preview software acts like i'm not on retina and i can only visualise my images with the resolution of a standard monitor.
    Does it make sense ? Please help !!!

    I'm having the same issue with Preview not displaying images at the correct resolution.  If you also look at the info in Preview, there are metadata issues showing up.  Under "Creator's Contact Info" this is the info displayed.
    Creator's Contact Info: , CiAdrCtry, CiAdrExtadr, CiTelWork, CiUrlWork, CiAdrPcode, CiAdrRegion, CiAdrCity, CiEmailWork
    Something is broken with the program.

  • How can I see my external drive again after installing mavericks?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my Mac Book Air to Mavericks and I cannot see my external hard drives any more. The data is still there and can be read on other computers. Regular USB keys are also detected.
    What should be done so that the external hard drive become "visible" again with Mavericks?
    Thank you very much and regards,

    Hi Niel,
    Unfortunately, the box was already checked. I tried to "uncheck" and "check it again", but it still does not work.
    What else can be done?
    Thank you very much and regards,

  • After installing Mavericks, App Store/Numbers/Pages don't load

    After installing the upgrade the Mavericks, some apps wont open including;
    App Store, Numbers, Pages, iBooks, Maps, Keynote
    Error code in Console reads;
    Unable to load nib file: Mainmenu, exiting
    as well as exited with code : 1
    Can anyone help or is it a trip to the store?
    I'm on a Macbook Pro early 2011
    Thanks,

    All
    I found the solution myself without having to go to the store.
    Restarted Mac
    During startup, hold down Command and R keys when grey screen appears
    Popup appears
    Select Reinstall OS X
    Reinstalls Mavericks
    Some Apps still dont work - Numbers, Keynote, Pages
    Simply moved Apps to trash, emptied trash and rebooted Mac
    Went to App Store - now working after reinstalling Mavericks - and went to Purchases and installed/updated Apps
    All now working fine......
    Hope this helps anyone else.
    PS....DO NOT RUN TUNEUPMYMAC APP - I think that this may have added to the problem after installing Mavericks the first time, but can't be sure.

  • External Hard Drive not working after installing mavericks

    After installing mavericks, I hooked up my external hard drive,
    and it would not show up on the computer.  Tried checking if
    it showed in utilities, also a no show.
    Should I uninstall the ntfs software which is a few years
    old and instal a newer version?
    Looking for a solution which doesn't involve reformatting my nearly full
    1TB EHD, please :)

    I think I have version 10.8.6 of mavericks, not 10.9.

  • Has anyone experienced problems with Outlook after installing Mavericks?

    Has anyone else experienced problems using Microsoft Outlook after installing Mavericks?  The computer seems to want to continue reloading emails.

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
    In fact Microsoft does support Cal and CardDav in Outlook, just not in the Mac version of Outlook.
    Reverting back from Mavericks requires nothing more than a backup of the system to restore from, if you do not elect to make backups that is a choice, but I would venture that it is a bad choice.

    Hi,
    What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
    Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
    In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
    In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
    It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
    If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
    (It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
    An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
    There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.
