HT3488 After my update to Maverick my screen colors are inverted. Anyone else?
I've tried the Ctrl+alt+comm 8 but it zooms in instead of reversing colors.
Hello,
Almost sounds like your control key isn't working!?
Can you change it in System Preferences>Accesability?

After latest OS update, half of all menu bars are black, anyone else?
Hi,
I'm on a refurb MBP and just updated to OSX 10.8.3. It was fine yesterday after the restart, it slept all night, never shut it off, then when I opened it up this morning all of my menu bars are half blacked out. They still work. I just have to hover and click. But notice the apple is over the "help" menu? Strange. When you click on that apple you get the help menu, the original apple menu can still be accessed from it's original location. And the fact that only half of it is blacked out suggests a glitch rather than a setting switch.
Anyone having the same issue?
ThanksPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
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 steps 1 and 2. -

Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse? -
After i updated to mavericks, my usb ethernet adapter stopped working.
I'm not sure why, but when I updated my software to mavericks, my USB ethernet adapter stopped working.
I'm using that adapter:
http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail.php?pd_id=445&pl1_id=5&pl2_id=26
After I updated to Mavericks, I installed the driver in this page, but it didn't work. Then I googled "AX88772" which is my adapter's part no. or something like that, and I installed that one:
http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=97
I wasn't expecting that work but that did work. So, I think the solution of the problem is finding the right driver. I hope you solve your problem too. -
Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?
Just to be clear, if by downgrade you mean uninstall, then the answer is technically, no.
You can't uninstall an OS. You can erase and re-install the old OS, but if you don't have a prior backup of your data, you'll lose it during the erase procedure. -
I have an iphone 4 and the screen is jumpy and after a liitle while the colors change, has anyone else had this happen and what did you do (if anything) to fix it?
Read: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4436
It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?
With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?
If you have a backup on iCloud or iTunes you would not have lost all your data, the update went fine on my phone and my wifes and many others. On forums you dont see the millions of users saying it went well, just the few with issues. If you had no backup thats not Apples fault, thats yours. The same will happen whatever platform you go to if you dont back your data up.

After i updated to mavericks my iMac is sooooo slow
i have a 27" imac mid 2010 2.8GHz i5, about a week or two after i updated to 10.9 i experienced slowdown for the first time ever. Animations are slow, moving the cusor is slow. i checked the activity monitor i have 4GB ram and 3.86GB is in use all the time, virtual memory is at 4.31GB. When i had mountain lion installed the memory used was always around 1.3GB. Is there something i can do to clear the memory used so my imac won't slow down?
Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently, so you will need to ignore the fact that it is all used some of the time. The main figure to worry about is paging to disk, shown as 'Swap used' in Activity Monitor.
An Etrecheck report may help, also if you can manage to find a reproducible fault then you can try that in safe mode (hold shift after the chime until the spinning 'cog' appears). Ensure the login window says 'safe mode'.

It will disable all third party extensions & startup items.
If the Mac is better in safe mode it is time to get a system report and look at the third party items. Be aware that some features will be disabled like wifi on some models, graphics drivers will be in a reduced mode - this is normal in safe mode. Reboot to go back to normal. -
After new update app store says 2 apps are installed but they don't appear on screen
Phone issues required restore and sych and update of new phone - when completed 2 apps were missing from the screen. I found them thru 'search' and can use them on the phone that way. After checking to see if I could reinstall from App Store they were shown as 'installed'. Anyone else have this issue?

after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS. How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists.
This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011! -
I have aperture 3.4.5 but si not available the uograde at 3.5 and i can't open my library after the update to' maverick
Marco,
is your main system language set to English? If not, change the language to English in the "Language&Region" System Preferences (see: Re: I bought Aperture in a box et can't upgrade from 3.4.5 to 3.5.). Then sign back into AppStore and reload the Updates panel.
Other things that could prevent the update are, if you moved Aperture from the Applications folder or renamed it. Then put it back.

We have an iPad mini, since updating to ios 7, the iPad no longer picks up my network. My iPhone 4 was having a similar issue, but it was picking up my network. I was able to find a fix to the iPhone, but the nothing is working for our iPad. Is anyone else having a problem like this? Is there a fix?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
