Just upgraded to Mavericks Pages application takes so long to load
Do I need a newer version of Pages? I think I'm still using my '08 iWork version.
I mostly use Pages '09, I don't have Pages '08 on this set-up.
Pages '09 is fast enough.

I have since removed 4 and gone back to firefox 3, but the problem still exists. Im having issues with Internet Explorer too.
This is an example of the script that fills the ENTIRE webpage, when i try to send/reply to messages, not only in hotmail, but any site that you can send email from.
���������r�0�;��;0L�I don't have any netflix add ons or extensions installed. I only have necessary plug ins installed. I have turned off all add ons and restarted so this issue is not related to an add on, plug in or extension. I also can rule out my dsl provider as I have hooked my pc up to other family members connections with the same provider on the same server and it did the same thing, However their pc has no issue. I have taken my pc to 3 technicians and there are no problems they can find with my registry or any infections or spyware. The PC does the same thing on their connections.All hardware passes every test they can throw at it. I have tried other browsers and reinstalling this one as well and the same thing happens. This really is mind boggling. I have ATT/uverse beta 6.0. There should be no delay in starting up my browser. After startup, it works great no problems but the speed starting up is on par with old fashioned dial up right now. I have 3 gigs of ram available and I have 85 percent capacity left on hard drive , processor speed of 3.4 with dual core processor. Makes no sense at all.

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. -
I just upgraded to Mavericks and now my Intel iMac is running more slowly. There have been no other changes. What's up with this???
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?
Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?
Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
Do one of the following:
USB
Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Wireless
Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
Ethernet
Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
Do one of the following:
If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ. -
I just upgraded to Maverick and now I can't download CC apps. Any suggestions?
When I tried to download Lightroom, the Launch Application window came up, and I chose to "CreativeCloud(URIHandler)"....
So then it popped up the Creative Cloud window and has been doing this ever since....
(I tried it with InDesign also with the same result.) I've never had any download issues before, but I just upgraded to Maverick; would that be the cause?if you want to fix your cc app
1. restart your computer and retry
2. if that fails, open your cc app and log out and then back in
3. if that fails, uninstall your cc app and reinstall
4. if that fails, follow these steps to uninstall cc and reinstall, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
if you just want to download cc apps and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your adobe id.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com -
I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..
I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..
The way I resolved this issue was to create a dual boot Mac, so that I am able to boot from either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Running Vectorworks in a virtual machine just didn’t cut it.
I had already upgraded to Mavericks, which meant that trying to install OS 10.8.5 as a second operating system produced the error message saying it cannot be installed on this computer.
First, if you need a copy of Mountain Lion installer and you has previously purchased it, open the App Store app, press the option key and then click on the purchases tab. You will see a list of all downloaded software from Apple and you can download OS 10.8.5 again without paying for it a second time. If you had previously created a boot disk of Mountain Lion, which I had not, you can obviously skip this step and the next.
You will need a boot disk for Mountain Lion. After downloading the Mountain Lion installer, the easiest way to create a boot disk is to use a slick little app called DiskMaker X, which you can get here: http://liondiskmaker.com Next you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8GB in size. Install and run DiskMaker X, plug in your flash drive, and follow the prompts. In just a few clicks, your boot drive will be easily created.
Next, you will need to add a partition on your startup drive on which you will install Mountain Lion. Here is the procedure for creating the new partition: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitysize.htm You can find this at Apple support, but this site gives you additional procedures that may be helpful. I set my new partition at 50 GB, but you can do with less is you don’t have the space.
With those two operations done, and your OS 10.8.5 boot drive plugged in, restart you Mac and press the option key after you hear the chime. You will be asked which drive you wish to start from- select the boot drive. After your Mac boots up, you will see several options- choose install Mountain Lion (actually I think the option is reinstall Mountain Lion).
After completing the OS install, install your copy of Vectorworks, copy and move whatever files you need to from Mavericks, and you are in business. To boot from either OS, simply press the option key and select OS 10.8.5 when you need to work in Vectorkorks, or OS 10.9 for all your other tasks. Switching back and forth isn’t as advantageous as otherwise, but it is the best way to run Vectorworks without upgrading for the $1,500 or so that would be required otherwise. -
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
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/MobilePre-Drivers?popup=true&N ewLang=en&DocType=1450&q=MobilePre
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 have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.
In addition to what Allen says, you may find these search tools helpful:

http://www.osxbytes.com/ - iFileX (note the MacUpdate link provided on osxbytes page has a Malware advertisement forMacKeeper, do not download).
Note: you posted to the Classic operating system forum. That refers to Mac operating systems from 2005 and earlier in Classic mode, and Mac operating systems as boot systems on certain 2003 and earlier Macs. Mavericks forum questions normally get answered here:

Just upgraded to Mavericks, no numbers in dock
I just upgraded to Mavericks and upgrade seemed to go well. Then I found a page listing things that were included in Mavericks and one of the apps was Numbers. I never had that in my previous operating system. Was I supposed to get it with the upgrade? Everything else they talked about was there, including things I had never seen before like automator. How do I go about getting Numbers? I really want it.
I don't think you quite understood. See the following:
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded. -
I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round. I don't recommend you upgrading. How do I get rid of it. I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!
It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?
Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine. -
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.
