I just downloaded Mavericks and now my AutoCAD 2012 won't open. What do I do?

Autocad 2012 is NOT Mavericks compatble.
So, you either need to find and pay for an upgrade AutoCad 2013 which is compatible with OS X Mavericks or pay to upgrade to AutoCad 2014.
If you have a cloned backup of your previous system before upgrading to Mavericks, it would have been easy to revert back to your previous OS X version.
If you don't have a previous backup, your only option, now, is to create a backup of your system and important data , now, to an external hard drive. Once you have a backup, you need to purchase and clean install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (if you haven't purchase Mt. Lion already).

AutoCad 2012 is compatble with OS X 10.8. You'll have to reinstall all of your applications including AutoCad.

Just downloaded Maverick and now I can't open my iphoto library??

Go to the app store and update your copy of iphoto.

Have just downloaded maverick and now can't use iPhoto or aperture...

looks like I have lost all my photos having downloaded mavericks on my macbook pro ... any way back?

Didn't run into the issue you are having but when I have upgraded iphoto in the past I didn't lose any photos and didn't when I upgraded to the new version for mavericks.

Just downloaded upgrade and now can't get firefox to open at all. Please advise

The computer keeps telling me to reaboot and I keep doing that. I can't even take the program off my computer so I can redownload it. Keeps telling to to reboot. Please tell me what went wrong and if I will ever be able to use Firefox again.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Hi there, hoping for help pls. I just installed mavericks and now garageband old version won't start because the BFD folder is invalid.

Click Software Update from your Apple menu  drop down menu.
If there's nothing available from Software Update, you may need to purchaase the newest GB version 10.0.2 from the App Store.

HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

Pogs78,
first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select I then cannot scroll back to the original google page?

I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select one, I then cannot scroll back to the original google page if I wish to try a different answer?

Sorry, I'm not very good at describing the problem. If I had multiple browser pages open, prior to downloading Maverick I could swipe the mouse to go back or forward as required. Now if I google a subject and the page comes up with all the choices and I pick one, I now cannot swipe back to the first page , I have to re-open google each time, type in my seach and start from scratch.

Downloaded Mavericks and now not able to open iPhoto

Downloaded Mavericks and now why am I not able to open iphoto?

Not obvious enough. Why separate the two?? Oh well, it's done, and I'm happy.
I take your point. Mail.app is in the Applications folder alongside iphoto.app, however some are in the OS and some are not. What I meant was it should be obvious that after an upgrade you either wait for the update notices, or run Software Update after an OS upgrade, not before. Taking a Time Machine backup before upgrading the OS is also essential but missed by many.
You can leave the suggestion at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html to include reminders in the How to Upgrade and during an upgrade. Apple will not reply but will take notice.

I recently made the same mistake. The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC. After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files. There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact. I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible. The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well. Good luck.

Hi Jackson,
Since you have already done a restore of your iPhone, I would suggest that you now try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, set it up again and test before you restore your content. This article describes the process -
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Imovie: I have just downloaded 'mavericks' and have installed all updates. I get an error message:Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements.

I am not 100% sure this is the issue, but I saw a different thread about the ATI Radeon HD 2600 not being OpenCL compatible for another program and that a newer compatible graphics card would be required to solve the problem. I am getting the same message with my 2007 iMac 24".

I just downloaded FF4 and now the "SEARCH" tab located at the center of my home page isn't functional. I unisntalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.

Question
I just downloaded FF4 and now the "SEARCH" tab located at the center of my home page isn't functional. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.

I think what I did was right clicked on the toolbar when I went to the tab and properties to find out the name of it. I then opened the extensions and add-ons and found what it was there (I don't remember the extension)., You will find the mess involves the homepage tab you have. Click on your tool bar for customization and put the home page away. This doesn't remove it but it will stop bing from showing up. Instead, my tabs now go to a Google page but I can't put in a homepage. Instead I bookmarked Google to my menu bar and when I open a tab I just click that! Cheaper than a trip to a computer vet.
The only option you will have is to remove google, but if you do, you loose all your goodies. Though I did not try this myself, I fear saving your tabs,bookmarks , etc. will store with it, whatever this bing thing is. Hope this helps

I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open. No error message, just -600.

I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open. Message just says 'unable to open' -600. I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way. What should I do? There's nothing in Help that helps.

Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.
