Trying to update from OS X 10.6.8 operating with zero problems to 10.9.2. Install over current OS results in inability to cold boot to mavericks. Must use option key to select 10.9.2 volume to boot to.

Will boot from cold start sometimes but eventually will not boot at all. Just white screen. Have tried safe boot and cleaning out folders suggested by Apple care advisor. This helps temporarily. But white screen issue returns. Have removed all periferals problem persists. Have tried reseting Pram. This results in the Mac booting up into 10.6.8. ( I keep a backup clone on a different internal physical drive.) I've tried a clean install using migration assistant to bring over all my stuff. This results in a permissions mess that disk utility cannot fix.) I've tried migrating my data from snow leopard during the install process. Same permissions mess. Snow leopard works great but I'm concerned about lack of support with security updates going forward. I have three macs in the family. Have been a mac user since 2002. Paid the premium because Macs just WORK and I've not had to mess with them to stay alive. Mavericks has changed all that. I want to get past this and go back to just using my Mac. Open to help please. Two other things. In all instances of trying to use Mavericks I cannot get finder to retain my preference settings. They always return to default when I reboot. Microsoft Entourage always opens with a new email draft now instead of just opening to the inbox like under Snow Leopard when started from the dock. When started from applications Entourage opens to the inbox normally. Thanks

Here is how I solved this issue on my early 2008 Mac Pro- Formatted and zeroed my boot drive. Disconnected all periferals except monitor (Dell DVI), wired mac keyboard, Logitech wireless usb 2 mouse. Removed my ATI 5770 upgrade Video card and replaced with original Nvidia card. Did clean 10.9 install. Immediately updated to 10.9.2. Checked finder preference retention issues- Gone. Checked reboot and boot after PRAM reset issue. Still boots back to 10.6.8. Hmmmm though about how the order of my physical drives in the bays was now different than before 10.9. Previously 10.6 startup was in bay 3 and my 10.6 clones were in bay 4. Never had a clone boot on startup. Now 10.6 is in bay 2 and 10.9 is in bay 3. Does the mac start looking for a boot volume in bay 1 then 2,3,4. Answer- Yes! When I moved the 10.9 drive to bay 1 kept 10.6 in bay 2 the crazy start up switch no longer occurs. So, I used the system like that for a couple of days rebuilding my files and reinstalling applications. Then I pulled the nVidia card and put the ATi 5770 back in. All is well. The system works perfectly no more issues. This has been a lot of work and I can't tell what the specifict conflict was, but I'm up and running Mavericks with no problems. All my hardware is back as it was before. All periferals working fine. Glad I am still able to make use of my ATi video card because it is superior. Hope this helps others use mavericks on their older Macs.

I tried to update my sons iPad and now it won't turn on or off just a picture of a cable and I tunes symbol. Can it be fixed or is it broken I've seen posts saying their iPads died after doing updates.

I tried to update my sons iPad now it won't turn on or off it shows a cable and iTunes symbol tried holding down sleep button & screen button but no luck does this mean it's Broken I've seen posts saying their iPad died after doing updates.

It's not broken, it just means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to connect the iPad, via its cable, to a computer's iTunes (you will need an up-to-date version of iTunes installed on the computer), and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync the content to it.

I tried to update my sons ipod. It has the itunes logo with a usb port on the screen. If I restore it I will loose all his games and music. Is there any way around this?? Please Help??

Yes, that is your only option.Yes. You have to restore.
Try the following if you have difficulty restoring.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am trying to update my sons iPod-.I do have a Mac desktop.But I am not sure how to update his iPod?

I am trying to update my sons generation 4 iPod…i do know that there is a way to update his iPod to iOS 6.I do have a Mac Desktop.Could someone please help me ??!! Is there a way to hook it up to my Mac Desktop and update?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.     Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom

My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.
Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom of Editor screen, from the icon on the MacBook Air dock (OS 10.10.2), nor from the file in applications located with Finder.
I have tried without success to access Organizer after turning off and on the scanner, turning off and on the computer, loading a fresh copy of PSE12 from the CD, and restoring default preferences. I have searched on line for other options but not found any.
Can you help me?

Im trying to update my itunes but its keeps coming up with invaild signature. How do i fix it?

Im trying to update my itunes but it keeps saying invaild signature. How can i fix this? Its driving me mad

Assuming a PC restart does not fix the problem, the simplest thing is to get a friend to download the installer for you and put it on a memory stick.
This issue has been associated with router problems.
If a known good copy of the installer still gives the same error there may be a problem in Windows.
