Machine doesn't handle Mavericks with current setup, but does with fresh setup

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB Ram and when I upgraded to Mavericks my machine began to crawl. The biggest thing I noticed is Mail would take about 10minutes to launch and daily my machine would tell me I've used up all memory and need to reboot, and the fan is constantly running. None of this ever happened until the day I upgraded.
So I did a full backup and started from new, things work great, but I've realized it's too big of a hassel to not have my prefrences, applications, etc. I've now gone back to my old setup (complete with slow mail, fan running constantly, etc) but I am wondering is there some type of a program that I need to run to get rid of any bugs or something similar?
I know my machine can run on Mavericks, but doesn't want to with this current set up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for you help!

You need to find out what it is that is dragging it down.
You can look at Activity Monitor to see if there is something using a lot of CPU.
Also, look in Console for lots of repeating errors, especially throttling and respawn.
Boot into Safe Mode and see how it runs. Not that some things will not work in Safe Mode, and you cannot boot to safe mode with FileVault2 enabled or a Fusion drive.

If it works ok in Safe Mode, it is a startup item that is causing the problems.

Feature setting Masterpage & CSS doesn't work when included in SiteTemplate - but does work when activated manually

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour recently. I wrote a feature with an EventReceiver that sets the masterpage and alternate css file for the current spweb it is activated for. When I activate that feature manually it works like expected. But if I include
the same feature in a SiteTemplate and it is called during site-creation, it doesn't work. I debugged it and stepped through it. As far as I can tell everything looks right. It sets the masterpage and css file like it should and throws no error. But when the
site loads in the end, it suddenly still uses the v4.master and no alternateCSS. How can that be?
If I deactivate the feature then manually and activate it again, it works...
Here's the feature:
const string masterPage = MyOfficeProcess.master";
const string searchMasterPage = "MyMinimal.master";
const string alternateCss = "MyOfficeAlternateProcess.css";
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb web = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent;
using (SPWeb topLevelSite = web.Site.RootWeb)
string relativePath = topLevelSite.ServerRelativeUrl;
if (!relativePath.EndsWith("/"))
relativePath += "/";
if (web.WebTemplate == "SRCHCENTERLITE" || web.WebTemplate == "SRCHCEN" || web.WebTemplate == "SRCHCENTERFAST")
web.CustomMasterUrl = relativePath + "_catalogs/masterpage/" + searchMasterPage;
else
web.MasterUrl = relativePath + "_catalogs/masterpage/" + masterPage;
web.CustomMasterUrl = relativePath + "_catalogs/masterpage/" + masterPage;
web.AlternateCssUrl = relativePath + "Style Library/My/" + alternateCss;
web.UIVersion = 4;
web.Update();

Hi,
You can put a copy of your master page within the template site, use that for the site's master page, and then save the site as a template then check whether it works.

My bank doesn't recognize my computer on FF but does on IE.

When I attempt to log in to my banking account the bank doesn't recognize my computer. I have told the bank system that this is a private computer on earlier logins yet it asks for additional authentication each time. This does not occur when I use Internet Explorer, only with FireFox.

I don't know what kind of security your bank requires, But if your FF 34 was updated it might have SSLv3 turned of.

Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop.
In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well.
The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
accounts are installed and working properly.
I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
on my laptop.
The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
Can you help?

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,

Lightroom doesn't open image in Photoshop CS5 but does open PS CS5

I just installed CS5 and uninstalled CS4.
Now, Lightroom 2.7 when in try to "Edit in Photoshop CS5" Photshop CS5 does open, but the image I am trying to edit does not open in PS-CS5 . Photoshop just opens and the image from Lightroom is not present.
Looking at previous threads I have tried the solution:
Mac OS
On Mac OS, try the following solutions in order:
Solution 1: Rebuild the Photoshop plist file.
Close Photoshop Lightroom.
Navigate to the Users/[username]/LIbrary/Preferences folder.
Drag the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in the Trash.
Start Photoshop. Photoshop will recreate the plist file.
I have updated LR , Mac OS and PSCS to all current versions
Any other ideas to get LR2.7 and PS CS5 to work together again ?
Thanks,

I did delete the LR plist file,
And yes I have the latest version of Camera Raw updated and installed,
but the Lightroom still opens PS CS5 but will not open the image too.
Any other sugestions
Thanks,

Microphone doesn't work for the phone app, but does for skype/heytell.

So, my iphone4 randomly decided it would stop using the microphone when I made calls. I've tried using headsets/speaker mode but that doesnt change the fact the mic makes a single click sound and then I cannot be heard. I've installed the latest firmware (4.3.3) and I've done a full factory restore/resync. Nothing works. It's bizarre that this only happens with the actual phone app though, as I can make calls with skype or be heard on heytell just fine and perfectly clearly. In fact, any app that uses the mic works, except for the phone app....

Yes, I also have this problem. From 14th May till now my iPhone rejects my voice in Phone calls and this Apple device switch off all phone functionality like as international support - it's reject everything from customer :-(
I tried make factory reset, it's helps to make 1-2 calls but no more!
After full restore iOS software decide to disable microphone in Phone app!

Visa doesn't work in runtime environement, but does in development?

I have a vi that utilizes visa for accessing a comport associated with a serial port.
The vi works just fine in the development environment, but after I compile it, the vi's no longer can access the com ports.
any special trick necessary during the compile to ensure that the visa still works?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem solved, the runtime environment requires visa runtime drivers. The developement environment requires different visa drivers.
My visa runtime environment drivers were out of date.

I have updated my website. The updated version doesn't appear in Firefox Yahoo searches, but does when I use Internet Explorer. Shouldn't it update immediately? This problem has gone on for over 24 hours!

Using Firefox, I updated my website yesterday. When viewed using Yahoo in Firefox, the older, previous version of my website was displayed.
It is now over 24 hours since my update, but Yahoo in Firefox still displays the out of date website.
This does not happen when the website is viewed using Internet Explorer - Internet Explorer started to show the updated version immediately... Why hasn't Firefox?

Toshiba harddrive doesn't show up on macbook pro but shows up on macmini

1 tb toshiba harddrive won't show up on macbook pro. Other external harddrives have showed up on Macbook pro.
The toshiba does show up on my mac mini.
I checked in Disk Utility to see if it showed up there in the macbook pro and it did not.
macbook pro - maverick
mac mini has 10.8.5
Does anyone have a clue? Thanks for any tips.

I had this same problem with an external seagate drive I was using as a time machine backup for my iMac. When I installed/updated OS 10.9 on the iMac, the seagate drive would not show up on the iMac.
The seagate drive shows up on my MBP/r even after updating the MBP/r to OS10.9
I just checked again to make sure this info is accurate, it is accurate.
The seagate drive still doesn't show up on the iMac but does show on the MBP/r.
The seagate drive does not show in disk utilities on the iMac but does show on the MBP/r.
I finally bought another external HD for my back-ups, I needed that drive!
BTW, I did not buy another seagate.
I have a couple toshiba external drives and, so far, they are working ok, on both my computers.
I don't get it either.

Mavericks downloads but does not install

Trying to update mavericks. It downloads but does not install. Any suggestions?

Can you find an icon like this in Applications?
What happens if you open it?

Trying to set up time capsule with airport exteme. Apple advises to use manuel setup and click on Advanced. Then enter mobileme ID. I did this but Time Machine doesn't display anything on the capsule window.

Can't set up my time capsule on Airport Extreme (updated). Apple instructions are to use manual set up. Click on Advanced tab. Click on Mobileme and enter Mobileme ID and password. I did this. But Time Machine window is blank. Tryed to click on update window after entering Mobileme ID but Airport does not respond (turn of then on)

I have been experiencing some networking problems
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I have the latest Time Capsule ("TC"), an old Airport Extreme Base Station ("AEBS") bought in 2007 and 2 Airport Expresses, one bought in 3 months ago ("AE-Alpha") and the other bought back in 2007 ("AE-Beta"). All of them have been updated with the latest firmware.
Based on those dates, the AirPort Extreme is probably flat (as opposed to dome-shaped), making it 802.11n-capable. The Newer AirPort Express is probably an 802.11n-capable model A1264, while the older one is probably a model A1084 or A1088.
I use {the TC's} DHCP function ... to avoid unauthorized use.
This a discussion for another thread, but that's not what DHCP is for.
The wireless setting for it is to participate as WDS Main, but after reading various posts, it seems WDS is a bad idea
With that older AirPort Express you're stuck with WDS unless you decide to replace it with a newer model.
The AEBS is currently setup as being a WDS Relay at the moment
Why a relay? That's only needed if there's another base station "beyond" it that is configured to depend on it.
Since the AEBS is connected to the TC via Ethernet, you should probably configure it as a "roaming network":
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2273124
{The AE-Alpha} connects fine as WDS remote at the moment
I don't have any experience with mixed WDS and non-WDS networks, but since it's 802.11n-capable, you may be able to configure it to "extend" the network of the TC rather than as WDS. Look for a setting on the TC to "Allow this network to be extended".
Physical location:
AEBS in one end, TC and AE-Alpha in the middle while AE-Beta on the other end.
A device such as "AE-Beta" that's supposed to extend a network shouldn't be "at the end" but should be half way between the central base station and the clients that need an extended network.

HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....
