  • CS5 and OSX Mavericks: Why is my computer logging me out?

    So I'm a telecommuting graphic designer, and everytime I'm meeting with my client and sharing my screen through Skype, my MacBook Pro (OSX Mavericks) keeps logging my out randomly.
    I initially thought it was because I was using shortcuts in Adobe Illustrator that would force a logout, but when I looked in "Shortcuts" there was nothing that used the keys that my shortcuts were using.
    Furthermore, the longer I would be on call with a client, the more frequent the logouts would become, at times that I was not using shortcuts on my keyboard.
    It then occurred to me that it could be some of the trackpad shortcuts I was using... in particular the two finger swipe (which is back in a web-browser, but scroll within Adobe?)
    Does anyone have any possible solutions?  Any feedback is appreciated!
    - Adobe CS5
    - Latest version of Skype
    - Default Mac Shortcuts

    Hello dfabie12
    Check to see if you have an auto log out when your MacBook Pro is not in use for a certain amount of time. To do that, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Click the Lock and enter in your Administrator password, click the Advanced button in the lower right hand side of the window and a box will drop down to see if it is enabled. Uncheck that if you do not want it to log you out or change the time length to a longer time of inactivity.

  • LR4 and OSX Mavericks compatibility

    I am currently running LR4 and recently upgraded my OSX to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since doing so, I have had to re-link several of my photo folders to the original source because they were not syncing up. I am unable to load additional photos fro editing from my native hard drive as LR4 will not recognize them in the original Photos folder. I have confirmed from the hard drive that the photos are indeed there. Is there a compatibility issue between OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 and LR4? Can someone guide me on how to resolve this? Thanks.

    Sounds like it may be a permissions issue, although I’m a PC user and am not sure how to fix it.
    You might give more complete information about where the photos are, the paths from the root of the drive, and what users might have access to them, not just ”original Photos folder” and maybe a Mac user can help you in more detail.

  • Laserjet 3052 and OSX Mavericks. Scanning with HP Director does not work. Any driver download.

    My iMac will not scan using OSX 10.9 Mavericks and HP Director. Prints ok. Are there any new drivers available.

    Read this thread:

    My LaserJet 3052 works with Mavericks after I followed these instructions. It's not 100% stable, but it sure beats buying a new scanner/printer combo. Mine still rocks after 7 years of use!
    Good luck!

  • Audition and OSX Mavericks - Any issues?

    I am running 10.6.8 and it is currently working just fine for me. I spend 8-9 hours a day in Audition CS6. I am starting to help out the video people, but I they are running After Effects CC, Lightroom CC, etc and I cannot install those programs because they are not supported by 10.6. I have been holding back on upgrading because it has been working great for me. Are there any known issues with upgrading to Mavericks that I should know about? I have hard deadlines every week and if I start running into computer issues a lot of bad things will come down. Is it safe, or should I stick with what I have and be limited with what I can do with the video people?

    That would indeed be a result. I have no objection to Audition running on Macs - because it looks just like Audition running on a PC. It's when you stop it that I start to get irritated with them...
    To be honest though, these days there isn't a lot to choose between them when it comes to stability. Yeah, Mavericks had its problems when it was launched, but there again so has every version of Windows there's ever been. Mavericks gets a few updates, and eventually Windows gets SP1. And things are okay again... except that we have to learn something different each time, and there seems to be no point to most of it. I just have to keep reminding myself that they'd go out of business if they couldn't find a regular way to screw more money out of us with new OS's for - well, no genuine reason, really...

  • Server File Sharing unstable on mac and windows network on Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0

    Since I've updated our mac mini server from Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X to Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0  we are having sharing issues with Windows (7 and 8) and OSX Mavericks users, not being able to access files on the mac mini server.
    What I've notice is that OSX Serer 3.0 stop working and I have to restart the Mac Mini Server to make things start working again.
    This was not happening with Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X.
    On the Windows and OSX users what happen is the computers keep trying to connect to the server and are not being able to open or copy files. Again this is intermittent, and I suspect it might be a OSX Server bug.
    Any one having the same problem or can give us and advice would be great help.
    Thanks.
    Andre Tenenbaum

    I too am having this exact problem as well as a few of my network administrator contacts that have gone through the Mavericks / Server 3 upgrade.
    It may be worth noting that before the upgrade I had run a mac mini server (core 2 duo) that never had any unintentional downtime, and the current mac server had never gone down or lost connection so I know it has nothing to do with user or network configuration.  
    NAS server hardware:
    - Mac Mini core i5
    - 16 GiB ram
    -  Promise Pegasus Raid5 external drive (thunderbolt)
    I am NOT running time machine as the backup.
    Everyting posted above is occuring although the rate at which my users lose acces is sporadic.  Sometimes the server will stay up 24-36 hours and sometimes it will only stay up for around 4.  Every user, every group loses acces AT THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERYTIME to EVERY SHAREPOINT...all of my local users as well as my remote users.  All of my users are on Windows machines (mostly win7, but a couple of XP and 8 users as well).  The share is accessed via a mapped drive using the format x.x.x.x/share and I have had 0 issues with getting users connected.  The problem is 100% keeping them connected.  When the users lose access the get the "drive cannot be accessed" error on their end, however when I check the server 3 app, it still shows all users connected and I have let it run for a few minutes and the idle times do change. 
    I also cannot see any spikes in the Activity monitor that might indicate a memory strain issue on the server side, but I assume that is because I am not watching the Activity Monitor at the moment everyone loses access.
    Let me say that the SMB2 protocol does work much better when it actually works, much faster, but intermitent connectivity is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE and has resulted in several corrupt files for my workers already.  Also, because I was one of the unfortunate people that had the upgrade lock up on me and I had to restart it, I lost my 10.8.x recover backup and so I would have to do a clean install in order to restore my server back to its original state. I am also hesitant to do this because I would most likely only be able to download the Server3 app from the app store and I have not heard from apple or any other power user group on whether the bug is with the app or the OS. 

  • Zooming in AE 12.1 with OSX Mavericks

    Is it just me, or is the scroll wheel on the mouse not as responsive for zooming with AE 12.1 and OSX Mavericks?
    I think this became noticable after updating to AE 12.1 (the October update).
    Sort of annoying.  I used to be able to click the wheel once and have the zoom increase or decrease by small increments.  Now, I have to scroll the wheel more just to get it to zoom, and often, I zoom way in or out too much.

    This bug has been fixed in the After Effects CC (12.2) update, which was released yesterday.
    Let us know how it works for you when you've tried with the updated version.

  • Major iTunes library issues after upgrading to OSX Mavericks...

    Hello
    I recently upgraded iTunes and OSX Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and it appears to have played haywire with my iTunes library.  I've lost almost half of the songs in most albums.  The missing songs now show up with an exclamation point next to them and if i try to play them iTunes prompts me to locate them manually.
    I have iTunes match but it's not clear how to restore prior purchases - in the iTunes store my albums just show up as 'purchased'.
    For the stuff i burned from CDs years ago I assume my only option is to restore from an old backup.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
    Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
    Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

  • Osx mavericks running on early 2008 macbook

    And again....Apple has left older (Early 2008) macbook's off the update chart for the new OS X Mavericks... Their isn't a thing wrong with my macbook why should I upgrade to another? I want the software, I'm gonna say it....I'm sorry...I love my Apple but even PC's are capable of running different OS for years and years and years. Most of them if they do need to upgrade its just their memory enhanced. You should be Better then the competitor apple!
    Hopefully I'm incorrect and OSX Maverick will be capable (doubt it since Moutain Lion wasn't)

  • Upgraded to OSX Mavericks and now dragging pictures from Facebook / Safari to iMessage no longer working

    I used to drag pictures from Facebook via Safari and Firefox to the Messages app on my macbook but ever since i updated to OSX Mavericks , every time i drag a picture to the message box , the folder where the picture is saved is the one being shown

    Let me know if you guys have a fix for this
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    Is the Pic being sent ?
    If you use the spyglass icon at the right hand end it should open the FIle Transfer window which in turn  should indicate is it was "Sent"  or "Failed".
    It may also show a spinning barber shop poll in indicate it is still trying to send  it.
    Edit.
    Test dragging my sig pic from here to Messages causes it to be zipped before sending

  • Serious problems in Illustrator CC with OSX Mavericks: Open, Place and Save windows don't stay open

    I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. After that, Illustrator started acting up. When I try to save or open a file, or place an image, the command window opens just for a second or two then closes right away. Even the Save shortcut doesn't work. I've saved the file a few times using Command-S, when I was closing it I got a warning that I had to save it. Of course, I couldn't save it using Save As or Save commands because their windows wouldn't stay open, so I had to just close it. When I opened it again, it was an older version; Illustrator just ignored my last two or three saves.
    I tried restarting the computer and relaunching Illustrator, nothing worked. The problem was worse when I have InDesign open too. But just quitting InDesign didn’t always work. This morning, I had to quit and relaunch both InDesign and Illustrator a few times before the problem temporarily disappeared.
    I think it might also be worth mentioning that I use Apple Trackpad, and my computer is brand new.
    Is anyone else having similar problems? Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. But I always have the List View.
    One lame thing worked though. I would hit the command short cut and keep hitting it for a few times. This forces the command window to stay open, and it actually helps getting ridding of the problem temporarily.
    I also had a similar but nastier problem in Acrobat. I tried to save a Photoshop PDF file in Acrobat, the Save As window opened and closed right away. Then all the command menus went gray; non of the commands was available including Quit. The only option I had was to force quit Acrobat. However, I didn't have this problem when handling native Acrobat files. The good news is that my lame solution worked.
