Just installed Mavericks on iMac and Messages not working properly

I just upgraded my iMac to OS X 10.9.   Most everything is okay but Messages is acting weird.   All the messages from one person, who has an iPhone and Messages now show up in green bubbles, which signifies SMS.  Before the upgrade, they all showed correctly.  They appear correctly on my new iPad which I just set up yesterday, on my iPhone (both running iOS 7) and on my MacBook Air which is still running OS X 10.8.  I tried it with other people and some have the regular light grey bubble and one has a purple bubble.   This is only happing on the just upgraded OS X 10.0  Now I saw this on MacRumors and it is obvious this happens to others.   This is the supposed cause..
"In iMessage settings there are options to change the colors. With Mavericks they let you choose your own color that you want people to see, but it randomly picks one for you from the start, until you change it. Click on the "viewing" tab in preferences and you can change the sender's color back to clear, or whatever you want it to be."
I checked and my iMac is set to Automatic.  Is this what others are seeing?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

    Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

    A few suggestions for you:
    Try:
    uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
    see if there is updated software on the HP website
    go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    control-click on your printer in the column on the left
    select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
    Do a factory reset on your printer
    go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

  • HT2693 How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?

    How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?
    On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes.  Have tried restarting iPad but this didn't help and because its a pre-installed App am unable to re-install it.   Is this a universal problem or just affecting me?  Tried searching for support in both App Store and on Apple site and can't see how to report this.

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

    I just installed Maverick and I'm not happy.  Too many other things not working.  How can Iget back to 10.6.9?

    If you have a backup, it is very easy to revert back to your previous system setup.
    If you don't, then the downgrade is much harder to accomplish as it require a complete clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Before going down that laborious road! maybe you tell us what issues you are having.
    In additon, Please download, install and run Etrecheck.

  • Just installed Mavericks for mac and can't print accurately.

    I just installed Mavericks 10.9 on my iMac and now the printer colors are totally wrong as in not in the image!!  I did contact Epson ( I have an Epson WF 3540) and we updated the driver.  They said the problem is with the applications,  ie. Photoshop and/or iPhoto.  I did run the necessary utilities re ink and print head cleaning.  Any suggestions?

    Yes, I seem to have solved my initial problem but found another, I

  • HT5012 Update my iPad to ios7.1 and messaging not working  .......suggestions?

    Updated my iPad Air to ios7.1. Messaging not working. Suggestions????

    What happens when you try? Getting an error message?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • "This cable is not certified and may not work properly..." Official Apple cable!

    I am using an official Apple charging cable and keep getting the message "This cable is not certified and may not work reliably..." And this cable has worked until now! Restarting the phone works sometimes but only for a bit.
    What's wrong here/

    Thanks, but it didn't fix it. I've tried 3 different Apple cables and I get the same message with each. I'm guessing it's the port has become defective somehow although with all the other questions about the same issue, I wonder if it could be a software issue!

  • Filter and navigation not working properly

    Hi Gurus,
    I have two reports - report1(source) and report2(target) report.
    In report1, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Amount_sold
    In report2, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Reasons(where Market_ID is made prompted)
    In report1, I have made the Value Interaction as 'Navigate' and the target as 'path of report2' in Column properties ->Column Format
    But, when I click on Market_ID(report1), it is NOT showing the details of that particulat Market_ID(report2).
    It is showing the details of whole Market_ID in report2. That means, the filter is not working properly.
    Is there any method in which the report2 shows the details of particular Market_ID which is selected from report1(market_ID)?
    Best Regards,
    J

    yes you can,
    in your source add a master_name column and in that make the navigation.
    in the master_id column go to column format and style options and check the Use Custom CSS style option and type,
    display: none
    now in your source the master_id column will get hidden. in your target make the master_id prompted.
    now click on the master_name in your source, your target will get filtered by the corresponding msater_id
    thanks,
