Macbook pro w/ Mavericks - right command and right option functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop
Hello,
All of a sudden my right command and right option keys are functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop respectively. I haven't changed anything and can't seem to find any shortcut option in system preferences to change it. Control + up still works for mission control as default, and F11 is still show desktop. Left command and left option are working as normal.
Any suggestions? I have a feeling theres some silly little thing I've missed...
Thanks.

Hello benja_d
That is an interesting issue with the keyboard. To help isolate the issue, open up the Keyboard view to see if there are any keys being held down while you are typing to see if that is the issue. You will also will want to try this in another user on your computer to see if it something that is User specific or system wide. Let me know if you have figured out this part and I can help you further.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

New problem keyboard shortcuts for mission control in Mavericks
I have a MacBook Pro Retina and make heavy use of multiple desktops in Mission Control and use control keys (^1, ^2, etc.) to switch desktops.
Sometimes I use the built-in laptop keyboard and sometimes I have an external keyboard attached, which has a numeric keypad.
Previously, pressing "control" and the "1" on the numeric keypad worked the same as presing "control" and the "1" in the row of number keys across the top of the keyboard. Now, in Mavericks, it seems like the system does not treat these as the same keystrokes. I cannot find a way to configure the keyboard shortcuts so that I can use the numeric keypad to switch Mission Control desktops when the keyboard is attached and still be able to use the regular number keys when I'm working on the laptop's built-in keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
JohnI figured it out. ^1 typed from the number keys is not equivalent to ^1 typed from the numeric keypad. So, when you go into system prefs / keyboard / shortcuts / mission control, it may LOOK the same, but it is not. You simply have to select each of your spaces and change them to ^1, ^2, ^3, etc., using the NUMERIC keypad. It will look the same to you, but it will work properly after that.

Calendar on MacBook Pro using Mavericks 10.9 will not sync with Google Apps for Business
Ever since the Mavericks upgrade, I have had problems syncing my MacBook Pro Calendar with my Google Apps for Business Accopunt. When Mavericks first came out, I could do a work-around and set up a second CalDev account and that worked for a while. But with the most recent update to Mavericks, in part apparently to solve Google integration issies, the Calendar app will not sync either through the mail account setup in System pref, or by setting up a separate CalDev account. I have no functioning Calendar on my MacBook, thogh the CalDev account option works fine on my iPhone and iPad, and of course all work on the PC with Google Apps Sync.
Appreciate any advice, or better appreciate if Apple were to get this right ASAP.Thank you for your answer, unfortunately that is not the solution. I found the plug-in where it was already properly installed in the Root Level Library>Internet Plug-ins Folder. It was NOT to be found in the [User Name]>Library>Internet Plug-Ins Folder, so I copied it there from the Root Level Folder, Rebooted, deleted all cookies, signed in to Netflix, and I still get the same:
Thanks for installing
Once installation is complete please restart your browser to watch this movie.
So, I tried a complete re-install of Mavericks OSX 10.9, from scratch. I checked all Internet Plug-In Folders and the latest version Silverlight Plug-in is in all of them. Still, I get the same:

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -

I have a new macbook pro running mavericks and only using Safari as my browser. 75% of my url requests are 'hung up' and freeze. I have seen other posts and have tried to clear cache, reset safari, remove extensions, but to no avail.
Any recommendations?If it works in a new user account, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Title sums it up. I have an Early 2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks. Today it froze for 10+ minutes during routine web browsing/iTunes using/etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. I forced a restart, and now it boots into Utilities and wants to restore my HD from a TC backup! I backed up last week so it's not like I'll lose much that matters, but this behavior is pretty, um, concerning. Any ideas what's going wrong? Is this a hardware issue?
Thanks.Try to reset the SMC and PRAM:

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...
Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

Hi, From about this Mac, my only HDD is full. When I have clicked and opened Storage screen when I've saw that there are 144 GB on Backups. I don't know which backup is it. and I really need help to find and delete it. I have Macbook pro running Maverick OS X.
I have a external HDD for time machine, but this backup I didn't know yet.
Please pleople... someone could help me? I'm in troubles.
SandroLinc Davis, According below: could I delete those snapshots from MobileBackups folder? would it solve my problem? ( if I want not my HDD 80% full) - Thank you a lot in advance.
Ordinarily, the best way to view your Local snapshots is via the normal Time Machine display, perquestion #15. If for some reason that's not working, you can see them via the Finder.
From a Finder menubar, select Go > Go to Folder and type /Volumes in the prompt, and select theMobileBackups folder. You'll see the same structure as for Time Machine backups on a separate volume: a Backups.backupdb folder containing a folder for your Mac, which contains a time-stamped folder for each snapshot. Inside each of those is a folder for each disk/partition that was backed-up, containing the same folder structure as on the original, with the contents as of the time of the backup.
Note that nothing in the size column is meaningful (if you Get Info on the MobileBackups folder, for example, it will show the total amount of space on the drive it's on! It will show dashes for the Backups.backupdb folder, or any of the dated snapshot folders).
