hello i am trying to help a friend to get the update for the mac os x maverick and msg pops up saying distribution file not verified
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. 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, with limited graphics performance, 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 login 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 the test. -
I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones! -

Why do some old Mac programs run slowly in Classic mode?
I successfully installed OS 9 Classic Mode on an eMac. At first, some of my old programs (Thinkin' Things, Millie's Math House, both edmark) ran fine, but as time went on they started jerking and freezing as they ran. I re-started and it continued to do the same thing. Any ideas on why these programs run slowly like this?
I gathered the info you suggested in previous message, but I was wondering if you could help me interpret it.
Here's what I got:
In Activity Monitor; System Memory; Page ins/outs = 12277/0.
Memory is listed as 1.024 MB, with 822.11 MB free.
I looked under CPU tab in Activity Monitor and did not exactly now what I was looking for. What should I do with the CPU #'s?
I opened Console in Utilities & there were any clues or repeating messages.
The 40 MB hard drive has 9 MB free.
I ran the 9.2 CD-based educ. software again. Some does not boot up. Some run fine. Others are choppy at times.
Anyway, does this info suggest anything to you. I wonder if it's a compatability issue between System 10.4.11, Classic Mode and the Power PC chip? Was this common with Classic Mode?
I thank you so much in adavance dor any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Since I have updated my Mac to OSX Mavericks, all the invitations (.ics) are put in my Agenda one hour later then the requested time.
Before OSX Mavericks everything worked perfectly.
Invitations were automatically put in my agenda on the Mac on the right hour.
This agenda synced then trough Icloud with my Iphone and Ipad.
Now he puts al the invitations one hour later in my Agenda on the Mac.
I have checked all my time settings and they are correct.

Hi,
My Adobe CS 4 ran perfectly find up until I updated my MAC OS from Mavericks to the new YOSIMITE. When I launch illustrator CS4 I get a window message the reads "some plug-ins in the additional Plug-ins folder are conflicting with application or user plug-ins. It will skip loading plug-ins from additional plug-ins folder." there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading process, then a second window will appear reading "Error loading plug-ins. PhotoshopImport.aip" there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading and launch.
The problem is when I open a current file that has a psd link I will get a window message reading "could not find a plug-in to read the link file _______ choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to select another file, or ignore to leave the link unchange." When selecting a psd link /file it is greyed out which I cannot select it. I can not select, choose, import or open any files/links that is a psd.
Would someone please help me resolve this issue please!!!I have the same issue! Did you get a solution yet?

My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep popping up and key pages, for me, appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page.
I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
Thanks for your help.The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

Mac OS X Mavericks update 10.9.3
I downloaded the new update 10.9.3 for Mac OS X Maverick on my Macbook Pro 13 inch late 2011 version but when I installed the update the system became unstable and said there could problem with performance and battery life.I tried to repair using the disk utilty but it said the OS was currupted. I was advised to restore my HD from a time machine which I did. I downloaded the update again and after downloading my system could boot for up to an hour. I had to restore my HD again from my time machine backup. Please is there anything wrong with the update or it is not compartible with my version of Macbook Pro.
It's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly. -
Updated my 2008 MacBook pro to Mavericks.Lost some programs that won't run on Mavericks. One being Tuneup for Mac. Used for housekeeping and cleaning up the machine. Can't figure out how run maintenance on drive w/o this. Seached for scheduled maintenance in help, nothing.
"Scheduled" maintenance is all done by the OS - there's nothing you should run for "housekeeping". DO yourself a favor with the new OS and read...
-> The myth of the dirty Mac
-> Mac Performance Guide
-> Tuning Mac OS X Performance
Good luck,

HP Photosmart C5550 won't print envelopes, only letter size since updating to new Mac OS Mavericks.
Since updating to new Mac OS Mavericks and the new driver for the printer, I can only print on letter-sized paper. When I try to print a 6x9 envelope, it gives me an error saying my paper size doesn't match, and I have to cancel the printing. Before updating, it worked.
I was having that trouble for a very long time until today.
Using Microsoft Office Word, I did page setup and chose "Envelope #10 4.1x9.5in" for a standard long envelope. I had to do NOTHING to the printer and it worked great the first time.
Bottom line, it's all in the program you are using.
If you get an error stating you have the wrong media size, try using a different program. -
