this is ever since i updated OSX mavericks to the latest version. 10.9.1 i think.
please help or if u are experiencing it too lemme know if theres anything we can do!
i dont want to uninstall and then re-install these apps so that is not an option!
thanks all

If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I have an annoying issue, this happened after I used clean mymac app and do some routine scanning. After it was done, I have noticed that Preview app doesn't work anymore, it just keeps crashing up until now

    Anyone having issues of Preview.app crashing in OSX Mavericks?

    No but CleanMyMac ca cause destructive issues to your system. I would recommend uninstalling it completely as per the Developers instructions, and if Preview still is not working, then chances are good that CleanMyMac has corrupted it and you may need to reinstall Mavericks (after backing up your system)

  • I have a new iMac OSX Mavericks.  My user name for Apple apps is wrong but I can't change it.  I don't know where it came from.

    How can I change the Apple ID that seems to have come with my new computer???  It will not go away even though I have gone to accounts and checked out what is there.  It is right in the Accounts but what can I do to change it on my computer?  I can not download any upgrades.  Thank you.

    Going to my account did not work because it's the right information.  When I have trouble is when I'm trying to sign in for upgrades.  There are some letters in the "sign in" box that will  not go away...and I can not put the right sign in in that space.  Which means that I can not upgrade Pages or any of the rest of the apps that came (free) with this new computer.

  • IPhoto quits after upgrade to OSX Mavericks

    I have a macbook pro & I have recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks & installed all the latest updates.
    My problem is with iPhoto unexpectantly quitting after selecting slideshow to view an album. I set the transitions ,music etc then click play, then it quits.
    I have created a slideshow then again selected transitions, music etc, clicked play & iPhoto quits again.
    Perhaps there is something I am missing in the new upgrade, just can't see what.
    Can anyone help please.
    Regards Robyn

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If the problem goes away in the new library you'll need to fix your current library.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT204291 Since updating to OSX Mavericks, my airplay icon is missing

    Since updating to OSX Mavericks my airplay icon is missing from my IMac (3.06GHZ).  However, it is present and working completely appropriately on my Macbook Pro with Retina display.  Both have the same OSX, Apple TV is fully updated.  I have reset my computers, appleTV, routers, iTunes multiple times, but it's just my IMac that is having the problems displaying the Airplay icon.  Not sure what else can be done or why one computer works while the other doesn't when the settings are otherwise the same.  Airplay worked on it without problem before the patch.

    1) open control panel.
    2)Choose Network and internet
    3)Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
    4) Choose the active network connection. It is usually name " wireless Network Connection 1" or something similiar.
    5) Click the properties button
    6) If the Internet PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK.
    7) Click CLOSE
    8) Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jd

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.   

  • SINCE UPDATING TO OSX MAVERICKS I HAVE SOME ISSUES..PLS ADVISE

    First thing i noticed,is that swiping between pages in LAUNCHPAD is unresponsive,sometimes i just CAN'T swipe to other page...THIS IS KIND of a HUGE DEAL...WHY????? I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH TRACKPAD?(scrolling in safari,swiping in other apps,going to mission control is without any problem,that's why its so weird...It just wont work in LAUNCHPAD)
    Second problem,in my launchpad appeared an icon called READ ME UPDATE right after updating to OSX MAVERICKS....Thing is,i cant open it,i cant delete it,i cant do anything with it...WHATS HAPPENING??
    And my LAST issue is also very ironic,because MAVERICKS promised better power management,but so far,whatever app i open and use,my FAN goes like crazy,from my totally silent MACBOOK became a HOWLING MONSTER...(this issue also came up right after updating to MAVERICKS,i didnt download anything after this update,just to be clear that no viruses could have gotten into my Mac by my fault)
    Apple PLEASE DO SOMETHING..
    So far updating to OSX MAVERICKS only brought issues to my,MacBook Air i NEVER HAD...
    PLEASE ADVISE SOMEONE

  • Email and Contacts missing in iTunes 11 for OSX Mavericks

    I just upgraded my mac to OSX Mavericks. Prior to upgrading I had Mountain Lion. In iTunes, I used to be able to choose which email account I wanted to sync with my iPhone / iPad etc. After upgrading, this option is missing.
    According to Apple : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
    Apparently I am expected to update this info on my devices using iCloud. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this? Is there some other way I can update my devices ? Most of my email accounts are for work, and I think it may be a violation of my company's security policy, if I am supposed to upload my passwords etc to iCloud.

    I found this other link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847?viewlocale=en_US
    So if I use a non-icloud email address (eg: work email address, gmail, yahoo etc), that means I need to enter the passwords and settings on each iDevice I own?? Why would they do this? It makes no sense, and is so tedious.

  • Today I reloaded OSX mavericks, and have no Pages, Keynote, or iWork so whats up , Anybody?

    I recently erased my disk cleaned up my computer, and re-installed OSX Mavericks 10.9.4, and realized afterward I am missing the app for pages, keynote or I see some have referenced an app iWork. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks, Paperlady 21

    Thanks for your response, I had already tried that, but when I went in there it seemed as though I needed to purchase these items, but when I clicked on them to purchase them, it said they had already been purchased for this account and let me download all the apps  I needed there were 6 all together,including iPhoto. SO thank you very much, I appreciate your quick response.

  • HT201335 I have just bought Apple TV to be able to use from my Mac book pro  I have upgraded to OSX Mavericks but cannot get airplay symbol ? Any suggestions?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MBP forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
