I upgraded to Maverick and I can't access any of my documents.

When I upgraded to Maverick, I apparently set up a new account. Now I cannot access any of my documents that were on my old account. And I cannot get my old account opened on my Mac. I had backed up my files using Time Machine before upgrading but now Time Machine will not let me open my documents. It tells me that I am not authorized. Someone suggested signing out of my new account and signing back in using my old account. I can sign out but I don't have an option to sign back in using any account other than the new one or as a guest. I need help. I know very little about computers and this is driving me crazy trying to figure out how to get my documents back.

I'm guessing that you have a very old version of Microsoft Office such as 2004 which AFAIK, is no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft wrote that in PowerPC code, which OS X Snow Leopard supported via a translater called Rosetta.

Lion no longer includes Rosetta, so for users of Office 2004, it's time to upgrade to something else, since neither Microsoft nor Apple provide support.

Upgraded to maverick and now can't open excel projects

I recently upgraded to maverick and now can't go back to open excel spreadsheets I need for my business. I've even changed the permissions and I can only preview, not modify. Any suggestions?

Was just having this issue with my wife's computer after upgrading to Mavericks. Maybe a long shot, but if your filenames have forward slashes in them (such as for dates), change them to backslashes. No idea why but it works. I seem to recall having the same problem with Excel some time in the past and this was the solution then too.

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!! I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

I just updated Creative Cloud to 1.9.1.474, and my entire CC folder just disappeared. And I can't access any of my 18GB of files on the web. What the hell is going on?

CC says it's re-syncing all 18 GB of my files back to my HDD. I'm on crappy wifi in southern Peru, and I can't access any of my work files for (CC estimates) 22 hours. I'm basically out of business for a day or more. How the hell can Adobe allow this to happen?

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

Upgraded to Tiger and now can't open any illustrator files! Please help me!

I upgraded my OS to Tiger and then updated to 10.4.8 and now can't get any of my Illustrator EPS files to open. I have spent the whole day trying to figure this one out (Launch Services advice in other posts) without any luck. What is going on here?!!! I have so much serious work to get done this weekend!
Please help me!
Amy

It's hard for anyone to offer any advice when you don't tell us what specifically is happening or not happening. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say? What version of Illustrator are you using? Does Illustrator open at all? Does it open regular Illustrator files? Have you reinstalled Illustrator?

Using Logic Express 9.1.8 - Upgraded to Mavericks and now can't open Logic Express. Why please?

As soon as I try and open the LE application the icon starts bouncing up and down in the bottom tray and that's it. There is no more. I have to right click and force quit.
Became fed up and dragged it to the trash with the intention of reinstalling form original Logic Expres 9.0.0 disc. Couldn't install though as the installer crashes.
Don't know if this because of the "upgrade" to Mavericks but it a real coincidence.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Well, the first thing I would have done is launch Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions. It sounds like your problem may have been a permissions error and this may have resolved it. If that didn't help I would have next gone to my user>Libary>Preferences folder and deleted "com.apple.logic.express.plist."
Next step would have been to reboot the computer in Safe Mode or create a new user account to see if LE9 would launch.
Even though you trashed LE9 I would still suggest repairing permissions at this point. Also, do a Spotlight search for Logic Express to find any remaining LE files that you might want to delete . . . primarily preference files like the .plist mentioned above. Now restart your computer and try running the installer again.
Just an FYI, LE9 will indeed work in Mavericks. I used it briefly until I decided to get rid of Mavericks and go back to 10.8.5.

Backing up the iPhone to the computer won't transfer the music to it; to do that, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function. If you're looking for music already on the computer, search it for files with an extension of mp3, m4a, or m4p.

HT203477 I was editing,upgraded FCP X and now can't access the projects

Hi there, I was editing and made an up grade to FCP X and now I can't access to the projects I was working, any help please.
Thanks
Mateo M

I can see the first 10 projects but when arrives to a particular one keeps loading for ever and can't move from there?

My school (Washington State University - Angel website) is showing up as "Untrusted" and I can't access any of the content, how do I bypass this?!!?

I am getting a "This Connection is Untrusted" Error when I log into my school's classroom website, and therefore cannot access any of the content I need for my class. This is a new problem, I just had to reinstall Mozilla when I upgraded my hard drive, it worked two days ago, but not today. Does anyone know why this would happen, or how I can circumvent this? The only option allowed to me is to "Get me out of here!" which is the exact opposite of what I need it to do.

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

I upgraded to Mavericks and now can't open/save files

I upgraded my system to Mavericks 10.9.2 and now Creative cloud Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator (the few programs that I've installed) will now not either open files, or if they do takes 3-5 minutes for simple files, and if they do open and I try to save them again they take even longer to save.
I've re-installed these programs... have throw away preference files, changed finder preferences, restarted multiple times, even zapped pram... nothing has worked!!!!

Installed Mavericks and now can't access iPhoto

Hello,
I recently updated my imac to the new mavericks system. Once the download was complete I noticed that iphoto had a white circle over it, indicating that it is not compatible with this system and an update is needed. I then went to the app store which has the relevat updates for both iphoto and imovie. However, when I use my apple ID it does not accept it due to these programmes being on the system as a bought the mac, so im guessing these apps are registered with the factory setting apple id. Is there anyway I can get thhis update so I can retrieve all my photos?
Help much appreciated.
James

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.
