Mac os mavericks update won't work

Everytime I try and update my software it says that "the Mac OS X Mavericks" can't be saved, and 'connection reset by peer'. I have no idea what any of this means and would really appreciate some help on updating my software as many apps that I would like to download need the latest Mac OS X Mavericks. I have a MacBook Air that I purchased in early 2013, so I dont think that my computer model is too old.

"Connection reset by peer" usually means your internet connection reset itself.
Also, do you have sufficient free disk space to save the upgrade?

Mac pro with 10.9.2 maverick iphoto won't work

My mac pro with maverick installed won't work with iphoto. It tells me to use iphoto upgrader and when I do nothing changes, it still won't work.

Did you go to Applications/Utilties and actually double click on the upgrader to run it?

Is your antivirus software enabled? Do you have a fire wall on? Disable your antivirus software, try again and when you are done updating then enable your antivirus back on.
See if that works.

Firmware update won't work after you've tried the Narf/Blanka method?

Many ppl have reported that their Firmware update won't work after they've tried the Narf/Blanka method for Dualbooting Windows. [For some reason, it doesn't).
Formatting the startup, reinstall etc WILL work ... because of what our friend says here : http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2076211#2076211
Fortunately, it isn't necessary To Reformat etc... (at least for the firmware update) Apparently, as long you boot from a different Disk to the one you've 'messed with' - such as , say, an external FW Drive, the Firmware updater works.
Had the same problems, same reasons on a 20". Booting from external FW Drive made it happen for me.
May someone be helped by this e-missive....

Sorry: the above is (partly) wrong ... - it'll get you past the firmware update but won't get you past the Boot Camp Assistant ... - it wants to see a single partition No matter what ...
[Just for that, I'm gonna see if I can mess with the 'can't do this on an external drive' requirement ... by moving an external to internal then back out again grin)
best of luck...

Time machine freezing mac since mavericks update

Time machine is freezing up my mac since I updated to Mavericks. I was having issues with it so I just decided to reformat my time machine external drive. I can back up manually when I tell it to, but when left alone to do automatic back ups, I will come back to my mac and it is unresponsive, I see the time machine drive light flickering, and when I turn off that drive, the computer starts responding again.

Interesting. I now have my external TM HD connected directly to my iMac through USB 2. All seems to be working properly now. Had the computer set to wake up last night at 12 and it did do a back up then. Also when I logged on and woke it from sleep this this AM it went into a back up. Could it still potentially be the HD or FW 800 cable? When I connected the FW 800 directly to the mac, it didn't improve anything, but that was one of the same cables I was using before. If I use FW I do have to daisy chain the drive to my other external iPhoto drive due to having only 1 FW 800 port on my mac.

For the update to run Aperture must be installed in the system Application folder and named simply Aperture, not Aperture3.2.2 or anything else.
I don't know if this would also affect photo stream but if your Aperture is misnamed or installed in an incorrect location fixing that to see if it clears up the problem would be a good first step.

Can't use my mac since mavericks update but I didn't backup when I had snow leopard because I had no external hdd until I recently bought one. Can I revert back to SL?

So, here's the thing I just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks from SL but since upgrading my mac shuts off immediately by itself so I use it in safe boot. When I was running SL I didn't backup my stuff because I had external hdd, but I just bought one and I want revert back to snow leopard. How do I go back to snow leopard while also taking all my saved stuff even though I didn't backup it back then when I using SL?

PROBLEM
=========
After upgrading to maverick 10.9.2 my camera stopped working on my iMac and on my MacBookPro.
First I suspected that it was the maverick upgrade, which was the problem.
After spending several days with searching on the internet and trying all the different suggestions.
Which included re-format hard disk, re-install Maverick again, safe boot, removing old *.kext files, repair disk, check disk with permissions etc. etc. (waste of time)
I phoned apple support, but supporter said that it was a non apple App which caused the problem.
Then I say somebody saying that the AirDisplay was the problem.
SOLUTION
==========
I finally found out that:
By uninstalling the AirDisplay solved the problem, and now the camera works again.
Here is the link how to uninstall AirDisplay:

When do Avatron have a fix for this particular problem. No update was available today when I tried.

You want to downgrade because the new updates won't work? Read this.

First of all, I'm not any kind of techie person, I just have gone through this horrible experience of not being able to get into the itunes store at all after downloading the last 2 updates (7.4.2.4 and 7.4.3.1). Once I downgraded to 7.3.2.6 I was back in the itunes store downloading whatever I wanted. But, it was not all fun & games - the library file wouldn't work with the older version of itunes, and I lost all my playlists and had to reimport all my music. The second time I downgraded I did figure out how to save the playlists, but I still haven't figured out how to restore the itunes library file. If anyone has ideas about that feel free to post here.
I consider this a last resort if you really need to get into the store. Hopefully you have already tried other suggestions in other forums. If you do decide to try this, you should read everything first to see what you're getting into. Also, if you just bought a new ipod, it probably won't work with the older version. You should keep calling the apple support phone #.
The process isn't that much harder than installing an new version, although you need to uninstall 7.4.x first. *If you decide to try this I highly suggest you do a backup to disk first just in case.* Uninstalling itunes doesn't delete any of your music files, but it never hurts to have a backup. Go to File>Backup to disc.
By the way, this is assuming you're on Windows XP.
First get ready:
1. Go to File>Export Library. Save this file somewhere in your My Documents Folder, not the iTunes folder.
2. Export each playlist you have individually by right clicking on the playlist and selecting Export songlist. Save these text files in the same folder as #1.
3. Now, download the version of iTunes you want from oldapps.com/itunes.htm. I used 7.3.2 and it worked fine.
4. While that's downloading start uninstalling iTunes under Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, iTunes and QuickTime. Don't restart until all 4 are removed. (Optional, also run CCleaner - click the 'issues' button. This gets rid of a lot of little files that don't get removed in this process, but it's a little intimidating if you're not a techie person.)
5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want.
6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1. I'm sorry to say it might not work. If it doesn't, the next thing to try is to import an older version of the library file, which will be in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder inside the iTunes folder. This also didn't work for me. So....
7. If you couldn't get the library file to open, you need to add your music back in. I just went to File>Add Folder to Library and added my My Music folder. You could also try doing it from backup discs but that takes a long time; in either case, if you have a lot of music this will take awhile. Just let iTunes do it's thing.
8. Now you can go to File>Import and select the playlists you created in step #1. This did work for me when I went from 7.4.3.1 back to 7.3.2.6.
You should be good to go! I hope this helps some people. If you have any questions you can post them, but I can't promise that I will have answers.

Hi - it sounds like you still need to move the library file, which is in step 5 of my original post; this is assuming you exported your library before you went back to 7.3 - if you didn't do that, don't delete anything yet - just try moving the itunes library.itl file onto your desktop:
"5. Now restart. After you're back up, click on the iTunes setup file you just downloaded. After it installs, when you open iTunes the first time, you'll probably see this error: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." When you click ok the box closes & iTunes doesn't open.
"Go into your iTunes folder (usually in your My Music folder) and remove this file - it will show up as iTunes Library.itl or maybe just iTunes Library. You could just delete it because you already have a backup from step #1. The other file, also called iTunes Library, is an .xml file that you can delete if you want (actually, just leave the .xml file where it is).
"6. Open iTunes - it will look totally blank w/ no files. Don't panic! Go to File>Import and try to import the library you made way back in step #1."
Since I wrote that I've gone back and forth a couple of times, and importing the backup library file should work. If for some reason you didn't export your library, you can try importing the iTunes Music Library.xml file in your iTunes folder. It takes a really long time but this does also work.
If you were having the same 11333 error that I was, I was finally able to get into the iTunes store with 7.4.3 after installing certificate revocations lists as described on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306628
I think that's helped a lot of people - have you tried that? Of course, to do that you would have to reinstall the newer version to try it.
Please post again if you are still having problems with the library, but I think you should be ok!

The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

Mavericks Patch Won't Work

Hi,
I'm new to Creative Cloud. After installing, I find out that After Effects cc doesn't run on Mavericks yet. I was directed to the 12.0.1 patch, but when I try to install it, I am told "Updates could not be applied. This patch is not applicable for you." Then it says to contact customer service...which leads me here.
Please help. I need to get this working asap.
Thanks

Be sure that you are signed in and have activated the software—i.e., ensure that you are not running After Effects in free trial mode. The update will not work if you are running the application in trial mode. Sign in to Creative Cloud using any Adobe Creative Cloud application on your computer to activate all Adobe Creative Cloud applications on that computer.
If you’re not using a trial version, but you’re seeing the message that the update is not applicable, try one of these tips to force the application to be recognized as activated: Sign out of and then back in to Creative Cloud to refresh the activation state. Also, launching the After Effects render engine (not the full After Effects application) can refresh the activation; the render engine doesn’t have the crashing problem that the full unpatched application does.

Automatic software update – won't work (10.6.8)

Dear all,
my automatic software update has stopped working. It shows me the software that will be updated, starts the download, then the computer restarts and I type in my username and password – and then everything is back to what it was before. None of the listed softwares has been updated, and I can't find the reason it doesn't install any of these. There is no error message.
I've tried deleting the respective .plist file, but nothing has changed.
I work on a Mac Book where Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is installed.
I would be greatful for any helpful comments or step-by-step guides – I've tried to update some of the software manually but I would love the automatic update to work again.
Best,
cocopet

I get a screen telling me that some of the updates require a restart and I click ok to continue and restart now.
It's 9 programs by now:
- iDVD 7.1.2
- Remote desktop client update 3.5.3
- security update 2012-004 1.0
- iTunes 10.6.3
- Airport 5.6.1
- Update of Apple Software Installation Program 1.0

Mac App Store Updates won't load

My problem is that the Mac App Store shows several newer versions of Apps I own in the "Updates" section. Once I try downloading them an error will be displayed every time. Buying or loading new apps works just fine. Loading Updates in the iTunes store works as well. I only have trouble with Mac App Store updates. Any idea what this could be?
The error message says:
"Die angeforderte URL wurde auf diesem Server nicht gefunden."
"The requested URL could not be found on this server."
Thanks for your help. It's driving me mad.

I am having the same problem. So far, for me, Apple had no solution to it. Try to download the updates using a different network environment. I only have the above mentioned problem when I am online with my macbook using the hotspot (tethering) option of my iPhone. My iPhone is connected via USB. If I use a different network via ETHERNET, the update works fine.
If you find a solution to this, please let me know:

Mac OS Mavericks update issues

Hi Apple Community
I have a 2011 Macbook Air, 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I tried to update directly to Mac OS Mavericks from Mac App Store, but after update was completed I seen that my Mac was twice slowly in boot and shut down respect Snow Leopard and the OS drained battery twice too. So I downgraded again to Snow Leopard and these two issues were fixed.
I've read on the web that these two issues can be fixed by a zero install of Mavericks by using Lion Diskmaker (DiskMaker X). I would say from Apple technics and community member if this procedure is safe and effectively fix the issues of battery drain and system velocity.
I wait your answers.
Thanks!

"Connection reset by peer" usually means your internet connection reset itself.

Safari, iTunes Store connection, Software Update won't work

I'm having a strange problem with my iBook...Safari will not load/open, Software Update from the blue apple menu at the top won't work and now I can't access the iTunes Store. I have no problem with my internet connection and Firefox works fine along with Mail. Safari has never worked actually, but the iTunes Store and Software Update are the new issues. I've repaired the permissions over and over, and I have not loaded any third part apps. Anybody have a clue about what the heck is going on here?!??!!!

HI Martin,
I see you did the 10.4.10 update. Did the problems exist before the update?
Whether they did or not, you have network issues. iTunes/Safari/Mail all require networking preferences and they can become corrupted. You said Safari has never worked... that could be the culprit of all your probs right there. And much as I like Firefox, it has caused too many connections issues to list.
First... before you do anything, back up important files, data/audio/images etc.
Second.. the following are System Preferences that need to be trashed. I know you've tried a few before, but try this anyway. If it works, you will have to reset your Sys Prefs, but that beats a clean install.
Go here: MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences. Locate and trash the following files: com.apple.networkConfig.plist
com.apple.softwareudpate.plist
Now.. go here: MacintoshHD/Users/Home/Library/Preferences. In the Preferences folder locate these files;
com.apple.safari.plist users
com.apple.itunes.plist users
com.apple.internetconfig.plist
com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
com.apple.internetconnect.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
com.apple.safari.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Also, if you don't have a good disk cache cleaner... get Onyx. It's FREE and it works like a charm. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week to avoid problems such as you are experiencing. Download and intall Onyx per the instructions. Only takes a few minutes...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Have you ran Disk Utility from your system restore disk to check for errors on the disk? You need to verify the disk is OK. If you need help with that, just post back..... I really hope something helps for you.
If all the above fails, at this point you might consider doing a complete Erase and Reinstall from your system restore disk(s).
