Mac running slow and Mackeeper not working since 10.9.2 installation

Why is my MacMini2 running slow after installing Mavericks? Why is MacKeeper no longer available?

That is rather hard to believe. Just look around these forums. MacKeeper has destroyed, or at least made many systems practically unusable.
It's no longer available in the App Store because it's been pulled. And for good reason. Remove MacKeeper and never use it again. Depending on how old your copy is, it may not be at all easy to remove.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Pat,
Use Activity Monitor to keep an eye on your disk use and memory use. You may hear different figures, but I like to see my free disk and free memory above 25%. Sometimes all it takes is a Restart. Try to minimize the number of browser windows you have open at once. Quit unused applications.
Many of us in this discussion area like to use OnyX periodically. It clears caches and repairs permissions, etc. You can download it from this site. Be sure to download the one for the OS version you are using. There is a script called Automation within OnyX that allows you to start it and come back later when it's done with several actions.

Authentication and Debugging not working -- since Saturday, July 12

Hi everyone,
Since Saturday (July 12), the iTunes U launcher that my institution uses (a Moodle block) has ceased successfully authenticating users. From all the looking I've done, nothing has changed from our side, although I am having to do the investigation remotely, and can only be about 95% certain of that so far.
I'm also not able to use the debug string to see what credentials are being sent to iTunes U, because there appears to be no difference in the launcher process, whether debugging is enabled or not.
Is anyone aware of any changes or glitches in the system in the last few days? Any information at all will be very greatly appreciated.
-JR

Woolamaloo lives to help with such problems. Woolamaloo is an application specifically designed to access your iTunes U site without any CGI, BlackBoard or Moodle building blocks, etc. It accesses your site directly ... using any credential you supply. In effect, you can use it to "be" any user at your site. It can even show you Apple's debug webpage (if you want to see it). You can use Woolamaloo to verify that your site is not working ... or that it is and you have a local problem. You can find out and download the app here:
http://itunes.uic.edu/Woolamaloo.html
It comes in both a Windows and Mac OS version (though I admit to having a Mac OS X bias).

I cannot print wirelessly to an Epson 810 from a MacBook Pro (2010). Stopped working with version 4 and has not worked since. Prints fine to Safari, Chrome, and all other programs. Resetting didn't help.

Prints fine with other browsers and programs. Works with my wife's MacBook Pro.

Took it to Apple Genius, they told me it was my memory (incompatible)
Believe the first one. No one RAM test will reliably indicate RAM is bad. Once indicated, it has to be replaced.
You have to get RAM made for the mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro. Just because it says it 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory does not mean it is compatible with your Mac. You have to buy RAM for Macs with lifetime warranty, that is not ValueRAM, and says the model and its time frame within the year that it was released, and its model number when buying RAM. Both http://www.macsales.com/ (OWC) and http://www.crucial.com/ sell RAM in that means of attributing what kind of RAM it is.
I ran an internet-based free diagnostic tool and it showed that my hard drive did have bad parts (corrupted? possible to fix or not?) and it was acting irregularly...
What tool? Some are known to damage software components of drives. Especially any that address system cache.

Hi all, in answer to the above suggestions:
No the 10g database and listener is completely down (no services belonging to the new 10g database are running). I checked also alle the logs, but no messages anymore since saturday.
What I did notice: Oracle92HTTPserver (a service normally started automatically) does not start. When I start it, it gives me a message that there is nothing to do and that the service therefore is not started. So the HTTP-server itself is not working anymore. I can't find any files changed by th installation in the Ora92 home Apache directories. All seems as it was before the installation And still it won't start....
Does anybody have other suggestions? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Jan.

Bluetooth and Isight not working since upgrade to Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a mid-2010 MBP running OSX 10.8.2.
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, My bluetooth and iSight both have stopped working. I have tried the clear the SMC numerous times. Mostly it does not have any effect. However, a couple of times, it has restored service to the iSight and the bluetooth, but as soon as I reboot the machine they are back to being disabled. Sometimes they become available without my resetting the SMC and for seemingly no reason. I have also replaced a couple of different kext files: Apple_iSight.kext and AppleUsbVideoSupport.kext with known good ones. I also Verified and Repaired on the disk. In this case, permissions issues were detected and repaired, but without fixing my original problems.
I would like desperately to resolve this without buying a new disk and doing a fresh install of OSX Lion. I would definitely NOT go back to Moutain Lion in this scenario. But I don't know what do next. I don't see many posts on this subject and those I have seen do not offer much hope. I know I am not the only one suffering with this, but I don't think Apple is addressing the problems, because they may not be pervasive enough right now.
If anyone has found a way to resolve this permanently, please share with me. I would like to roll back to Lion, but can't do that either.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Brad.

This is likely a conflict with some 3-rd party s/w you have on the MBP but not the other two computers. Have a look in here
 > System Preferences.. Users & Groups | Login Items
Is there something in here that's not in the same list on the other Macs? If so, try removing it and restarting your computer. If that solves the problem, try contacting the developer to see if there's an update.
If that doesn't solve the problem, go through your other 3rd party apps and look for updates on all of them. One of them is stopping your mouse from working properly.

Node.js: running "npm help term " not working since upgrade to 0.8.3

Running
npm help <command>
usually displays npm's man page on <command>. And if the the command doesn't exist, npm will show a "top hits" list of related commands.
But since upgrading to 0.8.3, running it will always show the "top hits" list, even for existing commands.
After digging around I found that the problem is the man files that npm uses in /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/man are gzipped (with filenames like install.1.gz) which breaks npm since npm is expecting ungizipped filenames.
After further digging, it seems that the gzipping of npm's man pages was only added in node 0.8.2-2
So, basically just checking if anyone has this same problem (and confirming it's not a problem with upstream) before submitting it to bugs.archlinux.org

The man command should handle gzipped or non-zipped man pages just fine. I'm not sure if there is an official standard, but packages are free to use gz'ed or non-zipped man pages - they both work just fine. If it's not an official standard recommendation, though, gzipped man pages have become so common that they are almost a 'de facto' standard. But package managers (at least pacman) do not gzip the man pages. This is generally handled upstream or in the packages Makefile.
But, more to the point for the present issue, while man can open either format of page, if you give a full path, you must include the extension. Example:
$pacman -Ql bash | grep man
bash /usr/share/man/
bash /usr/share/man/man1/
bash /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz
bash /usr/share/man/man1/bashbug.1.gz
$ man bash #works
$ man /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz #works
$ man /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1
man: /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1: No such file or directory
No manual entry for /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1
.... er ... I just installed this again and did some tinkering. Most of what I've said is true (and perhaps someday useful) but currently irrelevant. Npm does not use `man` at all. It just echo's it's help information directly to the terminal.
Perhaps the syntax has changed since the last version you used, but it seems to be doing just what it is supposed to:
$ npm help
Usage: npm <command>
where <command> is one of:
... <snip> ...
npm <cmd> -h quick help on <cmd>
npm -l display full usage info
npm faq commonly asked questions
npm help <term> search for help on <term>
npm help npm involved overview
Specify configs in the ini-formatted file:
/home/jmcclure/.npmrc
or on the command line via: npm <command> --key value
Config info can be viewed via: npm help config
[email protected] /usr/lib/node_modules/npm
$ npm help cache
Top hits for "cache"
npm help cache cache:23
npm help config cache:20
npm help folders cache:7
npm help pack cache:2
npm help index cache:2
npm help changelog cache:1
(run with -l or --long to see more context)
$ npm cache -h
npm cache add <tarball file>
npm cache add <folder>
npm cache add <tarball url>
npm cache add <git url>
npm cache add <name>@<version>
npm cache ls [<path>]
npm cache clean [<pkg>[@<version>]]
Note in the first output it specifies that "npm help <term>" is only supposed to search for the term and return the top-listing list while "npm <command> -h" is the syntax to view the help information for a given command.
