I upgraded to Mavericks. I now have a corrupt file in Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle - How can I fix this?

I Upgraded to Mavericks. I was having problems being able to run TimeMachine so nothing has been able to back-up since the upgrade. I have tried using Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the hard drive, and have been unsucsessful due to a damaged file at Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle. CCC takes days to try and find only those files it needs to back-up, so I have had to abort the back-up. I used TimeMachine before the Mavericks upgrade, but with Mavericks, it is not recognizing the old TimeMachine data and can't roll back to the previous software (Snow Leopard?).
How can I replace the corrupted files? Do I need to get a disc from Apple with the OSX software and then reload the operating system? Do I need to restore the operating system? Do I need to load Mavericks all over again and if so, how?

Thank you so much for your recommendation. In the end, I was able to restore from a version of TimeMachine that I had on my external hard drive. I first tried to restore to the earliest version of Mavericks and it had all kinds of issues with my computer being slow and unresponsive. Seeing that this was not going to get me any improvements, I did a second restore to the last version of MountainLion that preceeded the upgrade to Mavericks, and voila, my MacMini is back to its peppy operation. My computer is now restored and functional again.
I am really puzzled why the folks at the Apple Genius Bar could not suggest this. I had taken the computer and back up hard drive to them, but they told me that my problem was data related, and they don't get into data recovery or back-up issues. But that was ultimately what restored my system back to normal. I think they need to be better schooled on the problems that can be solved using TimeMachine. They had my external disk drive and should have seen that it was capable of restoring my computer and suggested that I go home to try that. But instead.

    We backed up my husband's and my iPhone into iCloud.  Now, our text messages go to the opposite person.  How can we fix this?

    On the iPhone[s] go to Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive. You should be able to select which number and email address you want the device to respond to. Do it with Facetime, also.
    You DON'T need to be on different AppleIDs. My wife and I are on the same one and we fixed this problem as I described.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall  not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

  • My wife saved a pic from email through quick save to iPhoto. Now icon changed to notepad and iphoto is gone? how can I fix this? she has 25000 pics? Help!!

    My wife got a couple (2) pics in email from a friend. She used "quick view" and clicked "save to iPhoto" now her iPhoto icon is gone and was replaced with a Note pad with pens? It wont open iPhoto? I went to Finder to iPhoto and it actually has one of the pictures as icon? If you click on it nothing happens. i went to the plug in and pics are still there. How can I fix this? I went to app store to try to find my origional iPhoto but dont know where to look there? We are novices on this. It is a desktop Mac running OS X 10.5.8 Can anyone help? Thanks

    Repair permissions and restart your computer.  Read the Help menu for instructions if you do not know how. 
    You & wify should be backing up if the photos are so important.

  • I changed Java settings and now Firefox crashes as it opens, even in safe mode; how can I fix this?

    I was trying to change settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Right or wrong, I changed a Java setting from -1 to 2. The setting was in about:config and I believe it involved some sort of max. As I cannot open anything, I am not sure.
    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, Every time I have tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it immediately crashes again and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry you are having problems.
    For future reference. Those of us that mess directly with about:config soon learn how to recover from mistakes and what it is sensible to backup. Occasionally backing up your entire profile for instance can be useful and would have probably given you a quick solution of copying over the file from that backup.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Ok on to the subject of trying to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the file ''prefs.js'' and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your preferences to the default. You can then re open and use Firefox. Next try to get it back to normal.
    Trying to manually edit the file ''prefs.js'' is normally a bad idea. However if it is a single pref change it may be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (whilst Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before . You have the renamed file to work with. Probably best to test all this out in a new additional profile then you only break additional test profiles not working profiles essential to Firefox.

  • Having a hard time transferring photos from MacBook Pro once they have been cropped or colored enhanced to my iPhone or iPad. If they have not been manipulated then they transfer fine. How can I fix this?

    I've been cropping and editing pics in my MacBook Pro but once I try to transfer them to the iPhone or iPad 2 only the photos that have not been manipulated transfer with no problems. How do I solve this problem?

    Option 1:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    If that fails:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Use the option to check and repair library permissions

  • I installed newer Firefox, now parts of Norton and Words do not function. How can I fix this? Go back to previous Firefox? Thanks.

    I installed the latest version of Firefox when I was prompted. It was not until after the process was complete was I informed that certain aspects of my Norton and Words programs would not function, and that currently there is no fix available. How can you resolve this? Can I go back to the previous version?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • I have been unable to sync my phone with itunes - how can I fix this?

  • After I got the update I now have 10GB of new 'other' info on my iPhone, how do I fix this?

    I don't know why it happened.  I had far less than 1GB before this and now I have over 10GB.  All of it was added to the 'other' category and I have no idea of how to get rid of it, where to remove the 'other' information.  I'm getting frustrated because I can no longer listen to my music from my phone.
    Please help me, if you know what happened!

    You will need to go to settings on your iPhone, go to the bottom and reset.  This is the only thing that can fix this.  The bad part is, your I phone will go back to factory settings.  I had to do this on my ipad

  • I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages. How can I fix this?

    I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages.  Any advice on how to fix this problem?

    No third party apps, no signatures, we've cleared out contacts and are using just the numbers.  She ended up dropping her phone and got a new one.  She has a Galaxy S5, I'm still on my Lumia 928.
    I did a live chat with someone here, based on her suggestions we both power off our phones, remove/replace simm cards, restart phones regularly and this issue is still occurring.
    This issue ONLY happens with her, even when I'm at places that have horrible service, I receive messages/calls from everyone except her after I leave the trouble areas.  My phone tells me she is receiving my messages when she claims she isn't, her phone tells her I am receiving her messages when I am not.

  • Iphoto seems to be deleting old (several years old) images that hav the same name as new images being loaded. how can i fix this?

    I was browsing some old photos in iPhoto11 and started getting 'image not found' errors. After much investigation, rebuilding thumbnails and extracting photos using fatface iphoto library manager it seems that newer photos with the same name as very old photos (Canon camera naming scheme IMG_nnnn.jpg) have caused the old photos to be deleted? I thought iphoto handled this situation but it seems not.
    I never got any error or warning messages on importing the newer photos. Naturally the old ones have been in there for years and were originally imported using older versions of iphoto.
    As it happens I do have all these old photos stored elsewhere so its not a case of panicking but I could do with a solution going forwards.
    Has anyone else encountered this (and of course if so how did you resolve it?)
    TIA
    Paul

    Every new import to iPhoto goes into a new folder on the HD, so no, iPhoto doesn't overwrite older images with the same filename.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 

  • My wife and I upgraded our computers to OSX Mavericks and now she has all my information on her computer. How can we solve this problem. We do not share our Info with each other. This is terrible. Please help asap. Thanking you in advance Larry

    When my wife and I upgraded to OSX Mavericks the person I was talking to on apple support said I could use My apple ID and password to up grade on my wife's computer also. Well after we got finished she had all my Info from my computer on hers. It took about 6 hours to install the whole upgrade. They said if you have any problems just to call back and we will help. Here it is on a Sunday and I call every 5 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. If they are not open on Sunday's then why don't the just say so.The number I keep calling is 1-888-263-3394.I don't understand anything about iCloud, maybe thats why all my Info is on hers to. Larry

    My wife uses my Apple ID and password to download and install all her software because that way we only pay for it once and get essentially a family license. Otherwise we would each have to purchase and pay for our own copy. However, that only applies when we are purchasing software from the App Store or the iTunes store. We each have our own individual iCloud accounts where we store our personal Contact, Calendar, and other data. You can change the Apple ID on your wife's computer by going to System Preferences > Accounts and choosing her account then clicking on Apple ID: Set.
    Now if you want to make things more intertwined you and your wife can share your contacts, calendars etc with one another with read only or read write priveleges.
