I've installed Mavericks on my Macbook Air and it keeps asking me to log in - not a mail or keychain problem - actual OS log in.
I've installed Mavericks on my Macbook Air. Every twenty minutes or so I get the log in screen and have to type in my computer password again.
I don't think this is a keychain or mail problem - just the computer login.
Try this.

i have a problem with notification of service battery since i installed mavericks. My macbook air is 2012 version. Any solution?
This from the crash log
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Accounts.framework/Versions/A/Accounts

indicates there is a missing library on your system. What problems were you having before that caused you to delete Safari? How did you delete it?
You're best bet in this case is to re-install the OS. While doing a re-install will not normally harm your user data having a good working backup in cases like this is essential. -

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password
I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?
There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc. -
i am trying to install os x on macbook pro and it keeps saying mac os x computer, and i don't have any backup to restore
Do you have a retail disc with a picture of a Snow Leopard on it, or is it a gray disc? If it's gray, did it come with the machine you're trying to install on? If it came with a different Mac, it won't work.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.
There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 3
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Launch the Keychain Access 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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
I Downloaded hundreds of CDs to iTunes on a previous laptop and synced them with my iPad and classic ipod. We recently purchased a MacBook Air, and I started downloading more CDs to iTunes. When I went to sync my iPod, it removed all my old music and only included the music that I had just downloaded. When I went to my iTunes library, the old music was missing. The old music is still showing up on my iPad. How do I get it back into the library, or do I have to download everything again onto the MacBook air?

You mean on the old computer, the music is missing?
Or on the new computer the old music that you transferred from old computer, is now missing?
Did you transfer the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer? -
After I installed Mavericks I could no longer shut my Macbook Air (mid July 2012) down, except by force quit,I was using an Apple Tv screen and Apple wireless keyboard. After that the spinning beachball kept appearing at more and more frequent intervals, even after I had wiped the drive and re-installed Mountain Lion from the Apple site. It is now almost non functional. and just three months out of warranty
Backup your data as soon as you can.
MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
You should maintain current backups. Given the known failure rate of your SSD that is especially important.

I can't install Mavericks in my MacBook Air 2011
I run the instalation of Mavericks in my mackbook air, but can´t run after 6 min for finish.
I just want to confirm that this is the instalation phase that is not working, if it is just the download your machine will still be 10.8.5 and you should be able to run with that after a restart.
If it is the installation phase that as failed I can only suggest that you recover from your latest backup. That would put you back to ML and a working system. Use CMD r to boot into recovery mode and you will have the option to recovery from Time Machine. -
I recently installed windows 7 onto my MacBook air- big mistake, I cannot work out how to get back to OSX Lion and get rid of windows for good, anybody help?
Boot Using OPTION key:
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager appears.
Select the Lion disk icon from which you want to boot.
Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Once you return to Lion open Startup Disk preferences and select your Lion volume for the startup disk. -
After installing mavericks on my macbook pro my laptop keeps rebooting
How can I find out what might be happening to cause this behaviour?
Is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour?
I didn't have a booting issue before installing Mavericks, since installing I have had at least 4 random reboots. After logging in, I get a message that the system booted unexpectedly and I uploaded the info to Apple. One time it showed the reboot occured during the wakup from sleep.
As a side question, how can I tell the system to NOT relaunch all applications that where running before.
Mike P.Hi Clinton (and original poster/responders)
I have been having the same problem, with random reboots after installing Mavericks. Sometimes, it goes into a loop of restarting for a while before successfully launching (even rebooting when I click on my user id to log in to OS) . Thanks, and,
Here are the results from using EtreCheck: (P.S.: I use an external usb harddrive for TimeMachine, and it hasn't been connected during these restarts)

I installed Mavericks on my macbook pro and now I want to go back to Lion, is this possible and how?
I'm not satisfied with OS X Mavericks and I'd like to go back to OS X Lion! How do I do this as easy as possible?
Erase your hard drive and install your Lion system backup. If you don't have a Lion backup, the you can do an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -
I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!
Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

Call Of Duty LAN Servers does not work after installing Mavericks on my Mac Air, I need help!
Hey everyone, I have some troubles making LAN servers on Call of Duty 4 and people can't join them after installing Mavericks on my Macbook Air. I need help!
Thx!Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.
Thanks,

Recently, I installed Yosemite on my MacBook Air. After that I had no sound. Not even the start up chime. In Sound preferences there are no input devices and no output devices. I have had three meetings with Apple support with no results. Can anyone help? This seems to be a regular problem.
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.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X 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.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
