You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

This is my first post. Hope I am entering it correctly.
Open Office requires Java which exposes Macs to Hackers. A recent MacWorld magazine recommends removing Java which is not loaded with Mavericks. Could my Mac Pro been comprised with Java being present?
Other Problems:
When Time Machine is backing up the Icon in the Menu Bar no longer turns to indicate it is backing up.
In System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General, Option and Advance selections are dimmed. Unable to make selections.
Opening Apps very slow.
If I make a search and then select one of the items from the search, when I close the item it goes to the top of the search items and not back from where it was selected to open. So it is no longer in alphabetical order from the search items. I cannot drag it to its original position in the list.

Java running inside your Browser, accessible from unknown Web sites is the threat.
Having Java Present is not a significant threat. If you run only trusted Applications, the threat is very small.
When Time Machine is backing up the Icon in the Menu Bar no longer turns to indicate it is backing up.
Apple realized that spinning Icon punished screen refresh, and changed the design. Now a subtle triangle appears and stays still while the backup is in progress.

Did you click the big Lock to authenticate as Admin?

Many Users consider Apps like clean my mac to be dangerous. These Apps have a habit of throwing away parts of Mac OS X that are needed for proper operation. No one needs to run such stuff -- Mac OS X takes care of cleaning itself. The space freed does not generally improve performance, and throwing away caches usually slows down your Mac (until the caches are re-created and then the so-called problem has not been solved). -
I work as the photographer in a small Photography studio and we use a Lab in Melbourne to retouch and print our photographs for our clients. This Lab (Nulab) has software downloaded to my Mac from their website which I use to upload the images, request certain finishes & retouching for each file. However, in the last week, I have not been able to export these images to them in Melbourne - it creates a folder on their end and then tries to communicate back to my end, but it obviously hits something and therefore won't upload the images to their folder.
Before it stopped working, I had upgraded to the new Mavericks, I had callibrated my computer & redownloaded the software from our lab's website. Nothing else has changed. I have been through everything I can think of (security settings, Firewall, Antiviruses - disabling and uninstalling, reinstalling Lab software) as well as contacting the lab and their IT man looking into it having remote control of my desktop. We are both unsure of what has happened.
Can anyone help?Let me make two suggestions before offering something to try;
1. Never upgrade unless you know that your mission critical software is compatible.
2. Never be without at least two separate backups. You are a business. Backups are essential.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
The laptop was set to auto upgrade or decided to download Maverick and when prompted to reboot it failed to come back on. It simply displayed a message saying that the HDD was corrupt and the unit should be returned to the Apple Store.
Thanks for the reply, the macbook won't boot up past the message on screen so I can't reload an older OS system or delete or for that matter do anything with it?

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents. How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages? Have several pages windows open that I was working on.
I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
For some reason, this resolves the problem.
BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose". -
I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?
Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine. -
I recently upgraded to Mavericks and now don't have access to iphoto. I cannot find my iphoto library to back the photos up before upgrading the iphoto but see the photos when I try to change screensaver? Where are my photos so I can back them up?
The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

I have recently upgraded toyosemite, I cannot use some of my applications. I want to downgtade to the previous maverick. How can I do that?
Do a backup, preferably 2 seperate ones.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience. -
How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.
If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck -
I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0
Bluetooth icon on menu bar shows bluetooth off. When opening bluetooth preferences it shows the devices I've connected previously,( my mobile phone), and other devices I've attempted to connect but not very successfully: my iPhone and MiniMac. The bluetooth dongle in the USB port shows a continual blue light but does not react and the iBook does not recognise that it is there. There is absolutely no reaction when I try to pair my mobile phone, which I've done successfully before upgrading to Leopard, either by the iBook or the mobile phone.
I assumed that Tiger was not bluetooth compatible with the iPhone or MacMini running SnowLeopard and hoped by upgrading to Leopard I could achieve some file transfers between the three devices (iBook, iPhone and MacMini) -
When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the upgrade which is affecting the transfer? Is there a way of resolving this?
When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -
have recently upgraded and am finding my iMac won't wake from a sleep state 80% of the time. What do I need to change or do to prevent this?
Hi 02SilverSport,
Try using the power button to wake the iMac.
OS X Mavericks: Using the power button
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5869
If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, check out this article:
OS X Mavericks: Wake your computer with a wireless mouse or keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13997
And for more generic troubleshooting, try this one:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
where there's a section for "Your computer cannot wake from sleep" and "Your computer is slow to wake from sleep".

Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send. I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have not had problems until today. I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?
I have been having the exact same problem for weeks now with gmail. None of my computers will send Gmail (they will recieve) and my Maverick computers (10.9.1) show gmail smtp.gmail.com as "offline". I had installed Post Box and apple support thought it was that i had too many accounts (I have 2 ipads, an iphone (latest iOs), a work and home iMac and a powerbook). I disabled all my gmail accounts in Mail and still no go from PostBox either . I tried connection doctor and it just spins for outgoing and say I either haveve the wrong pw or login - I dont. I terminaled and tested port 465 (according to gmail instructions) and it works (port 25 did not). I can access gmail from the webmail and send/recieve mail from it and it shows up in my webmail outbox. It is configured for imap.I just cannot send mail at all from any gmail account from any apple device using Mail (or PostBox). I am at a loss as was the apple support person who wished me good luck very politely and sympathetically.

I have recently upgraded our Choir's website, and used iWeb to create the upgrade. It was previously done with other software.
Now, when I go to the site, (comc.ca), the first page comes up fine, but when I click on the links to other pages, I get this message.....
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/virtual/comc.ca/htdocs/Site_3/Contact_Us.html on line 1
I went to an Apple store, (I still have time left on my one-to-one period), but didn't get an answer.
Any suggestions really appreciated.
Thanks,
LarrySorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.
best,
Shocker
