Well after doing the 10.9.2 update last night my mac is now a piece of scrap. I can't get anything off it. It loads then freezes on trying to do anything can't even turn it off properly and was fine before!!!!

That's what I wanted to know. If it works in safe mode, which is what I asked, you have third-party software that is causing your problems. However, it doesn't look like it is fully defeated in safe mode, or something is damaged in the OS.
Uninstall everything you have the installs a startup item, launch daemon, or launch agent, or extension. If all works ok, install them one at a time. When it crashes, you've found the culprit.
EDIT: You may need to erase the drive and reinstall. You could likely restore your user data from your backup, but don't reinstall any utilities until you are ready to troubleshoot each one. Don't ever install anything that purports to clean, optimize, speed up, protect, or otherwise maintain your Mac. Those are the things that tend to cause the most problems.

  • Why has the you tube app been removed from my iPad

    Why has the new update removed YouTube App and blocked you from playing any you tube videos on iPad 2

    YouTube is  not now part of iOS 6. However, you can download the YouTube app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664.

  • Ipad3, using iPhoto, running the latest IOS6, I'm a photographer, please tell me why has the delete (X) been removed in iPhoto?

    Ipad3, using iPhoto, running the latest IOS6, I'm a photographer, please tell me why has the delete (X) been removed in iPhoto?

    Ralph, again thanks for the input, but I respectfully disagree.  I have been using iPhoto with the iPad3 since it was launched.  I have taken and imported at a minimum 6-7k pictures and have used the same methodology of editing and deleting photos (inside of iPhoto app), using the delete (X) on the task bar.  I'm an IT project manager as well as an certified software consultant, in other words, I have a better than average knowledge and understanding of apps and the functionality.  My only point is that something that was quite functional and very user friendly has now become far more difficult. It was only 9 bucks and a pretty good little piece of software, I'll just find something else that is less time consuming and will check back for iPhoto update and from time to time.  Again, thank you for your feedback.

    Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

  • Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

    Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of windows 7 and not the 64-bit?
    Surely the i7 and 4gb can cope with the demands and the 64-bit version would allow more efficient use of the computing power.
    Many thanks,

    Good question but Im afraid only Toshiba marketing division has right answer to your question.
    I just presume they create own decision based on market research.
    You can try to install own 64bit version if the drivers, tools and utilities are available.

  • Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso Tool not more have the Backspace step backward -Fun

    Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso -Tools not more have the Backspace-last-point-step-backward -Funktion?? This is terrible!!
    So i can not work more. Please change immediately with a next update!! Please..

    Good day!
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    Also I can not reproduce the issue you claim to have with 14.2 on Mac OS 10.8.5.
    What is your OS?

  • HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

    Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

    Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
    If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.

  • Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

    Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.movie

    It should not take more than 4 hr.   Is there any indication it is making process?  i.e.  When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"?  Is that time changing?  I would cancel the download.  Restart ATV and then retry.  If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue. 
    As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.

  • Why with the new iOS 7 update does my music rewind a second once I unlock my phone? This is really annoying and they should fix it

    Why with the new iOS 7 update does my music rewind a second once I unlock my phone? This is really annoying and they should fix it

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
