Mac OS X Mavericks update 10.9.3

I downloaded the new update 10.9.3 for Mac OS X Maverick on my Macbook Pro 13 inch late 2011 version but when I installed the update the system became unstable and said there could problem with performance and battery life.I tried to repair using the disk utilty but it said the OS was currupted. I was advised to restore my HD from a time machine which I did. I downloaded the update again and after downloading my system could boot for up to an hour. I had to restore my HD again from my time machine backup. Please is there anything wrong with the update or it is not compartible with my version of Macbook Pro.

It's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

    Hello gogreenj14,
    If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
    Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Click the Add This Computer button.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
    iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
    A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
    Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

  • My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep poping in and key pages for me appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page. Updated last Safari version and problem prevailed. Tried downloading Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks.

    My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep popping up and key pages, for me, appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page.
    I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
    I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
    Thanks for your help.

    The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

    hello i am trying to help a friend to get the update for the mac os x maverick and msg pops up saying distribution file not verified

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    We don't know a thing about your hardware, so we really cannot answer. See below.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

    A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.  Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

    You tried exactly what ?
    I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
    OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
    Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.
    How to add a printer

  • After mavericks updating ,i cant pair my wireless keyboard , plus my mac is logged out for logging in i need my keyboard back any help would be here? Ps: i dont have another keyboard

    After mavericks updating ,i cant pair my wireless keyboard keyboard working but just not pairing  , plus my mac is logged out for logging in to reach the preferences  i need my keyboard back any help would be here? Ps: i dont have another keyboard to connect .

    For the both of you.
    Turn your Mac on, wait until the login screen appears.
    Turn off your keyboard, wait several seconds. Hopefully a "Keyboard turned off" or "Keyboard disconnected" comes up. Then remove the batteries.
    Turn the Mac off then turn it back on.
    When it turns back on, it should say missing keyboard or something of the sort. Put the batteries back into the keyboard and turn it back on. Hopefully it should start talking again.
    It sounds like you two have a Mac that doesn't have a built-in keyboard. So you could easily reset the SMC...

    Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

    I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done.  Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks.   Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
    This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow!  Apple really can make simple things difficult.  Who would have guessed."

  • 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?

  • 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?

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:
