I was using a ps3 controller connected via usb as a gamepad when I had Snow Leopard installed - the other day I downloaded Mavericks and now it no longer works. Solutions?
I moved from 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.9 (Mavericks). Apple support won't help because it's not their hardware. It's not a playstation controller, it's Spartan brand, and it never connected via bluetooth (it continues to not connect via bluetooth in Mavericks which is fine). I always just plugged it in and it ran because apparently Apple included drivers for it from Snow Leopard onward. However, in Mavericks that's not the case, as when I plug it in nothing picks it up, and when I tried to connect it via bluetooth I would enter the pairing code and then it wouldn't pair. Anyone got any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks for no help. Such a supportive community. I figured it out on my own. I can only connect it via usb cable (which I'm happy with) and in order to do that I had to go through the bluetooth connection steps for some reason. It doesn't show up as paired but I did the steps outlined in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efk77f6d98Y -, plugged the controller in via usb cable and then it worked.

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..... -

So, here's the thing I just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks from SL but since upgrading my mac shuts off immediately by itself so I use it in safe boot. When I was running SL I didn't backup my stuff because I had external hdd, but I just bought one and I want revert back to snow leopard. How do I go back to snow leopard while also taking all my saved stuff even though I didn't backup it back then when I using SL?

PROBLEM

After upgrading to maverick 10.9.2 my camera stopped working on my iMac and on my MacBookPro.
First I suspected that it was the maverick upgrade, which was the problem.
After spending several days with searching on the internet and trying all the different suggestions.
Which included re-format hard disk, re-install Maverick again, safe boot, removing old *.kext files, repair disk, check disk with permissions etc. etc. (waste of time)
I phoned apple support, but supporter said that it was a non apple App which caused the problem.
Then I say somebody saying that the AirDisplay was the problem.
SOLUTION
==========
I finally found out that:
By uninstalling the AirDisplay solved the problem, and now the camera works again.
Here is the link how to uninstall AirDisplay:

To lower the risk of malware infection, Safari now downloads Java WebStart application files but does not open them automatically. Although you may find instructions on the Internet for defeating this protection, I strongly advise against doing so.
To launch a WebStart application, click the Downloads button at the right end of the Safari toolbar and then double-click the icon of the JNLP file you just downloaded. If you want to save the file for later use, click the magnifying-glass icon to reveal it in the Finder, and then move it.
In order for this method to work, you must first have selected
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ General ▹ Remove download list items: Manually or When Safari Quits
If you get a warning that the file "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer," think twice about opening it at all. If you're sure it's safe, see the heading "How to open an app from a unidentified developer" on this support page. -

Problem scanning from HP 1312 MFP connected via USB to Time Capsule
Hi,
I have a HP Color Laserjet 1312 MFP connected via USB to a Time Capsule. I can print through the Time Capsule without any problems but the HP Director software can't see the device hence I can't use the scanner on the device.
Please help!If the scanning option is vital, just keep the MFP directly plugged into your Mac (via USB). Enable printer sharing via System Preferences. Note that the Mac does need to be on for the other machines on your network to print. If that's not an option, look into purchasing a USB print server to connect via ethernet onto your network.
Here is one:
