I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. IT keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE to begin searching. I would rather not hav to go through 2 steps to start everytime. I entered google's address in preferences but it ignores my preference.

You don't say which browser you are using so I will assume it's Safari. If so then open Safari - Preferences - General tab and look for where you set the home page, just set it to www.Google.com
If this fails for some reason then open Safari and reset it (look in the Safari menu) and choose all options for the reset. The re-try setting the preference. Post back with your results.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

I'd try to find another Mac to make a DMG of it & burn a copy to see if that works better.

Need help: just upgraded to Mavericks, now can't use audio interface.

I just upgraded to mavericks, and now Itunes and my other programs don't recognize my audio interface.
It's a MobilePre USB preamp. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver without success. Interesting, QuickTime sends audio to the external preamp, the sound is filled with static. I've tried playing with latency, but that doesn't help.
I can't understand why Quicktime recognizes the external device, but Itunes doesn't. Suggestions are appreciated.
My machine is 21.5 inch late 2009 model with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 12 GB of RAM.

Hope this references the equipment you are using.
The last update to the drivers is 1.1.3 Nov 2012

If this is correct perhaps an email to Avid could help. I would think that they need to update their drivers to suit Mavericks.
There is also a link on that page to an article about Pro Tools and state that it is not supported on Mavericks at this time.

I've seemed to have deleted my iPhoto app and can't get back to my desktop. It had numerous pictures of mine included and can't find them in my hard drive where do i find it and restore it?

I've been trying to do some cleanup on my mac, and somehow have removed my iPhoto from my desktop and can't get it back, i don't know how to get it back. I've had years of pictures on it and am going to be pretty hot if i can't get it back up.

Is it in your Applications Folder?
If not
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

My boyfriend bought a 2nd gen ipod nano at a garage sale and can't get it to turn on or unlock. I shows the apple icon and a ipod with a cone shape next to it. I do we get this to work?

My boyfriend bought a ipod nano 2nd generation and can't get it to work and it only shows apple icon and an ipod with a triangle next to it. Says to see apple.com/support/ipod. Can anyone help to figure out what we need to do to get this working. Thank you

I think it needs to be charged. Try keeping it connected to the computer for some time. Then disconnect and connect again. And I hope you have itunes installed in the PC as the iPod can be synced only with that. Here's the link to download itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Also check the apple site for further syncing info.

Upgraded to Mavericks yesterday. Cannot get iCloud or Mail, Contacts, etc. Pref Panes to open.

Very odd behavior by several of the Pref Panes in the System Preferences app. I cannot get the iCloud pref pane to launch. There is no spinning beach ball and the Force Quit Applications box doesn't show that System Preferences is not responding. Same goes for the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pref pane. This is really not cool at all (along with Safari not working any more).
Lucky for me, I upgraded to Mavericks on a clone of my primary hard drive, so all I've lost is the time it took to clone the primary drive and perform the Mavericks upgrade. I thought about holding off upgrading until the first major Mavericks update came out. I've not run into any major problems with any of my OS X installs or upgrades until Mavericks.
Oh, yeah, Finder is syrupy-slow under Mavericks as well. All the supposed memory use improvements in Mavericks have not resulted in a snappier system performance on my early-2011 MBP.

Problem solved: it took a long time for Mavericks to sync data to the newly upgraded drive from iCloud, apparently. I rebooted and let the laptop simmer overnight. When I got up the next morning, all the problems I mentioned were gone.
I have since done a Mavericks upgrade on another of my hard drives and let the system "settle" for a few hours after the upgrade. This seems to be the answer: if things that depend on iCloud aren't accessible right away, wait at least 30 minutes and then see how your system's behaving.
Hope this will help anyone with the same issue.

I have the ipad mini and can't get connected to gmail via the App. I could at one time and now it comes up: username or password incorrect

Anyone know a solution for not being able to get mail with the Gmail App after it working for a while. username and password entered many times.
Very Frustrated.

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

If you see this picture, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to recover your iPad.

I am running Firefox 3.5.4. When I try to upgrade to a newer version I get "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then, I have to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. I have Windows XP. How do I fix this?

Any version of Firefox above 3.5.4 I try to install will not let me get to the internet. Each Firefox gets upgraded it keeps giving me the error message that "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then I need to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. This is driving me nuts! How do I fix this?

You're welcome
