Mac keeps rebooting after upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard

Hi, I have upgraded my Mac to Mavericks (Mid 2010) from Snow Leopard and my Mac keeps restarting itself, not sure what the cause is, can any help? Thanks

Here is the error message I get:

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works except iPhoto. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it work on Mavericks?

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?

If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
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.

Now iám using mac os 10.8.2
I can see the server, I can choose the drive, but when try to open a folder the message on Finder is: You don't have permissions to see the content.
I already delete the key and try to connect again, but the problem persist. Already try change the ip from file server. Already try differents users. (admin, guest, etc...)
I have a windows server 2008 and a NAS working with SMB protocol. Both with the same problem.
That problem occurs only on Finder, if I try see the folder by Terminal, is possible to see my files.
Any Solution ?
Any Tip ?
Any Question ?

Not knowing how much RAM is installed in your iMac, your iMac can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I would strongly suggest installing the maximum 8 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Here is OWC's link to your model iMac and the RAM modules you will need.macsales
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
You can purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in the OS X dock.
Before installing, it would be prudent to make a backup copy of all of your important data or your entire current system. Either using, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives.
This is too insure protection of your data in case something goes wrong with the install of OS X Mountain Lion.
Good Luck!

If I upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard will I still be able to use Microsoft office??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only if you have Office 2008 or 2011. Older Office versions are PowerPC apps, so they no longer work with Mavericks.
If you are running Office 2008 or 2011, open any Office app, go to Help menu (in the menu bar) > Check for Updates, and install the latest version.
If you are using an older Office version, uninstall it and install another application:
Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011 by buying it from the Microsoft website.
Install Apple iWork applications after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.
Install LibreOffice > http://www.libreoffice.org.
Remember to make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading.

Upgrade to mavericks from snow leopard 10.6.8 problems

Can anyone offer advice on this please, trying to upgrade to mavericks from snow leopard 10.6.8, when tryin to download from app store the mavericks X icon drops into the dock and continuously says ‘waiting’, I’ve installed the installer update which is meant to make this possible for snow leopard 10.6.8. Hardware is a macpro 2009 and fits the requirements in terms of memory and disk space. Thanks

Check the App Store Purchases tab to make sure the download hasn't been paused.

I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard.

I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard. Since the slowness problem is that I don't have enough RAM, how do I get my MacBook Pro back to Snow Leopard?

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They also have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the minimum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Since upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, I am continuously getting the spinning disk???

I am so sorry for not including my computer information, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I have an I-Mac   3.2 GHZ Intel Core 13 processor, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3---Now I am constantly getting the spinning disk when I try and do the things I used to do without problems. Is there something that can fix this? I downloaded from the Apple Store App

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

HT6114 Looking To Upgrade To Mavericks From Snow Leopard....

I own a black Macbook Pro and am currently running Snow Leopard. I've maxed my RAM to 4 GB and processing to 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, but when I went to install Mavericks from this website, it said that it can't be installed on this computer. Does anyone know why? Is my computer too old?

I think mine is called the early 2009 Mini, a similar generation, and I'm running latest and greatest Mavericks:
Model Name:          Mac mini
Model Identifier:          Macmini3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.26 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
The first thing that came to my mind was that I also might have seen that message but proceeded anyway because I could. Today blocks are set up to warn consumers off because they'll think features like ThunderBolt and LIghtfoot are available on their machines just because they saw it on TV. I'd be disappointed too if it turns out I could upgrade everything I needed but there was some system gestalt thingy that wouldn't let the installer proceed.
So what was a black MacBook Pro originally? Wiki says they started as Core Duo and moved up to Core 2 Duo and 8GB RAM OEM, only addressing 4GB, so I imagine there's trouble with Mavericks trying more addresses on machines that don't have them available?
I would expect to move from Snow Leopard, to Lion (to Mountain Lion), and to Mavericks out of hand, because they shipped that way new before the air style took over. Do you have 160GB boot drive, at least room enough to copy the whole thing down? Also, something in the middle was a paid upgrade, so is the Mavericks blocked by the fact nobody is allowed to jump that far ahead past a paid jump?

After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up. After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server. The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

Desktop/Finder keeps rebooting after upgraded to Maverick (mac mini hooked up to a home theater system)

My desktop keeps rebooting ever since I upgraded to Mavericks.
Current setup, Mac Mini hooked up to home theater (Panasonic SC-HTB20) that is then hooked up to my Panasonic Plasma TV.
I usually leave my Mac Mini on running and at least once a day when I turn on the TV I can see that my desktop was rebooted. Firefox and Chrome will say that it wasn't shut down properly and if I want to restore my previous session. Also some times when I switched the input to watch TV and switch back, all my windows will be scattered out of place. For example Chrome will be in the top left hand corner to the point that it's almost minimized and I wouldn't be able to move it as well. Only thing I can do is close out these applications and relaunch them. It doesn't appear that the OS actually crashed, but more like the desktop/finder itself crashed. Cause once in a while I will switch back or turn on the TV and the screen will stay black for a few minutes then I'll see the cursor in the top right hand corner. After that I will start to see the desktop and my application start loading. It doesn't go through the regular process of rebooting where you see the Apple logo so I don't think the OS actually crashed but I could be wrong.
For some reason it seems like Maverick doesn't like the home theater system. An almost guarantee way to reproduce the issue is to wait for the home theater to turn off after it's been inactive for a while. If I turn it on the home theater to have the audio coming from it I will see the desktop goes black immediately then the whole desktop reboot process I mentioned above will kick in.
Never had any of these issues on 10.7 before I upgraded to Maverick.
Anybody have any suggestion? I really don't want to format and downgrade back to 10.7.
Thanks

Sounds like a kernel panic.
If you post the report we could have a go at deciphering it.
It would be in /Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports.

Upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard Problems

I am upgrading my MacBook Pro, 13" late 2011, currently running Snow Leopard OS X v10.6.8. I have tried to download Mavericks multiple times with no success. What should I do to upgrade properly?
I have tried cancelling the download and rebooting my computer with no luck. I also tried hooking my computer up to an ethernet cable in case it was the speed of the internet, with no luck. The icon on my dashboard shows a bar with about half of the progress bar filled then goes no further. I left my computer plugged in OVER NIGHT and the prgoess bar did not move at all, so clearly it isn't downloading. In the Apps Store, Mavericks does not show up in purchases, but yet when I look at Mavericks in the Apps Store it says that Mavericks is downloading.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just want the new running system with no problems. I saw something about rebooting my computer in safe-mode, but that makes me nervous because I just had a problem with my hard drive, and had to have my hard drive cable replaced about a month ago..

The following may or may not help (it won't do any harm), but I recall similar problems back with Lion when this worked in some cases.
If you have any incomplete downloads of Mavericks lurking about, move them to the trash.
Open Terminal, paste this line in
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
and hit 'return'. Restart the App Store. You'll now see a new menu item in the menu bar called 'Debug'. Click it and choose 'Reset Application' (no, you will not lose any purchases or anything else, this is just a local reset on your machine. You might as well do 'Clear cookies' for good measure, though the reset should do that as well).
Restart the mac for good measure, and try to download again.
(nb: if your upgrade to 10.9 is successful, the 'debug' menu will disappear on its own. If it's not, and you want to make it go away, just use the same command as above but change 'true' to 'false'.)

Replacing HDD after upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard

My MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard and the disk. Then I upgraded to Lion via the App Store. then my Hard Drive crashed and I replaced it. After running my Time Machine Backup no Apps would work all saying my OS X wasn't up to date, and I couldnt Update the OS. Now Ive reinstalled OS X from the disk again and started as a new. Ive updated every App in the computer but cant get my OS to update to Lion. In the App store it says I have to purchase Lion again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Did you make the Time Machine backup in OS X Lion or Mac OS X Snow Leopard? If you made a Time Machine backup in OS X Lion and you restored it in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, all applications weren't working because they were designed for Lion.
Now that you have reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard, open the App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download OS X Lion. If you don't see Lion, check that it's hidden > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
If you did the Time Machine backup in Lion, a different option is to start up from the Time Machine drive by holding the Alt key while your Mac is starting and selecting it. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps
