Maverick - causing problems

Why do I get messages saying that it "cannot be opened because its from an unidentified delevoper"?

That's caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
To open the app you are trying to open, right-click it and select Open.
Another thing you can try is to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, press the padlock at the bottom right corner of the System Preferences window, and select "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

  • Upgrading to Maverick causing problems

    I recently upgraded my operating system to Maverick.
    Since then my time machine back up disk won't back up due to lack of space, which wasn't previously an issue and my Mac won't shut down properly just goes to blank white screen and freezes.
    Not sure if the two things are linked or what's causing the problem.
    Any suggestions and help gratefully received

    Thanks for your patience, this is all new to me. Think this is what you requested. Really appreciate your help

  • Maverick causing problems with mission control

    hi,
    I have a early 2013 Mac book pro. I just upgraded to Maverick and I have been facing issues with mission control. When I swipe fingers up on touchpad to open Mission control, occasionally it lags. Basically the lagging is prevelant with swipe and pinch gestures on touchpad, the transitions are not smooth. Please help me fix it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kritarth

    I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is this same problem, but it's similar. And worse.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch,Early 2013), and several times since I installed Mavericks both Mission Control and 4-finger swiping have stopped working completely. A restart always fixes them. They both fail at the same time--either both work completely, or both don't work at all.
    I'm guessing there's a lurking Mavericks bug, somewhere.

  • Still Mavericks causes problems freezing Mission Control

    Hello,
    As the suggestions I've received in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23642587#23642587
    Try removing Soundflower since it has not been updated in a very long time. Follow these instructions from its developer's website:
    http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/
    There is a short video explaining how to uninstall it. If uninstalling it does not help, and you really need it, you can always reinstall it again from the developer's website.
    If that does not help please start a new Discussion because there will be other things to check.)
    , I've already unistalled SoundFlowers and, as I espected, doesn't make any difference: Launch Pad is still freezing when I change pages.
    I report here the new discussion.
    Let's see if John Galt can help me again!
    Cheers,
    Enrico

    I had no such problem, but as I said, graphic acceleration seems to be deactivated; I haven't noticed any CPU hog, so I suspect it's a juvenile bug. Strange is the fact that no-one seems to experience my issues, even also the one with the trackpad. I think I'm going to wait 10.9.1 at least, and test it on an external drive (to preserve my ML installation).

  • Mavericks RDX problem and solution?

    Quite  not sure what happened but i observed a problem using RDX media catridges in FCP before. With Mavericks a new error dialogue appared:
    "Der Speicherort „VideoRAW_2“ auf diesem Computer wird bereits von „(null)“ auf „(null)“ verwendet. Um Zugriff auf den Speicherort zu erhalten, beenden Sie Final Cut Pro auf „(null)“ oder entfernen Sie den Speicherort. "
    This message appeared permanently after each start of FCPX.
    Google translate traslates this into:
    "The location "VideoRAW_2" on this computer is already used by "(null)" to "(null)". To get access to the location you quit Final Cut Pro to "(null)" or remove the location."
    "VideoRAW_2" is the name of the used RDX Catridge. Renaming the Catridge to "Videoplatte_2" solved this problem for me and the volume appears in the Volume List. Rerenaming this to "VideoRAW_2" does not bring the error message again.
    So my question is combined:
    First of all: I qould like to ask if somebody also has observed such behaviour?
    Was the simple renaming the solution itself and forced the databased to actualise?  
    Are there any other ideas? F.I. the RAW in the name of the media could have caused problems too?
    Regards
    Andreas

    hi P S,
    No SAP system at the client will be error free or problem free.
    the problems comes up mostly because of the human errors.
    during the configuration, there wont be much problems but the main problems comes up in the testing phase. in this stage your configured system should give you output as per your requirement.
    during the production support, particularly in payroll the payslips will be wrongly printed. the main reason for this is the incorrect entry of master data. so the user has to be careful when entering the data.
    there may be problems in the posting of the payroll results to FI.
    at the year-end, there can be some issues in the adjustments of the amount.
    in this way, there are lot of issues which comes up during the use of the system.
    regards,
    salman

  • Mavericks broadband problems

    Since installing mavericks 10.9.1 my broadband connection has become very intermittient, Any ideas?

    How are you connected - wifi or ethernet? In what way intermittent - slow, dropping connections?
    If you are running any anti-virus software that seems to cause problems for some running Mavericks, particularly Avast - based on reports on here.

  • Null values from DB2 cause problems

    Hi,
    I have another problem with database link to DB2 using IBM iSeries Access for Linux on 64 bit OEL5 with Oracle Database gateway and unixODBC 2.2.14.
    DB link works. However, null values from DB2 cause problems. Date columns that are null on db2 return a date '30.11.0002', and character columns that are null return an error ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error.
    isql returns correct results.
    How can i fix this? Perhaps set some parameters for data conversion on the gateway?
    Thank you.

    If the driver is not fully ODBC level 3 compliant and misses functions, we're lost. But sometimes the drivers are ODBC level 3 compliant but miss the correct 64bit implementation. In those cases we can tell the gateway to use the 32bit ODBC level 3 standard by setting in the gateway init file:
    HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32

  • I want to uninstall ReloadEvery as I think it is causing problems however it is not in my list of Extensions or Plugins yet it is clearly installed, I tried reinstalling FF but it was still there! How can I get rid of it?

    I installed ReloadEvery a while ago and it seemed to be working fine however I am now having problems with FF crashing and weird things like pages not reloading and not being able to use the back button etc
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF and upgrading to FF 4.
    When I upgraded to FF 4 I was still having problems even though I didn't have any Extensions installed at all, or so I thought. I noticed that ReloadEvery was still installed. I was rather puzzled as I had done a clean install of FF 4. I want to remove ReloadEvery to see if it will solve my problems.
    I have also tried following the help on the FF Troubleshooting about manually uninstalling Extensions but again ReloadEvery not listed there yet I am still able to use it in FF!
    I want to get rid of it!! I really need some help please.

  • FF 3.6 AND 5 on same Mac, 1 profile - can I uninstall 5 without causing problems running 3.6 or with the profile?

    I upgraded from 3.6.16 to 5, but don't like how 5 handles tabs (auto reloading 'problem loading' tabs when internet connection is reestablished). So I installed 3.6 in a separate folder, e.g. both versions are on this computer. I went back to using 3.6, and let it upgrade to either 3.6.18 or 19 (don't recall which & it's not open right now). I'm having problems with it using too much CPU & Memory, and not sure if that's a difference between 3.6.16 & 3.6.18/19, or if having 5 on the same computer even if closed could be causing the problem.
    Can I uninstall 5 without causing problems with the 3.6 version and the single profile?

    If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
    Hopefully that helps.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

  • TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

    I found this  (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data.  I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder. 

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you ad

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise?  During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

    I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

    Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

  • I deleted the 4oD app from my iPad but it still appears in the list in Settings. How do I get rid of that? It is causing problems when they issue updates as it apparently thinks I still have it when I don't.

    Can any one help me get rid of a deleted app 4oD that still appears in the Settings list. I deleted it from the home screen and Spotlight search confirms it has gone. It is causing problems because I get notified of updates and I cannot get rid of them either. I have tried re-downloading via my MacBook because there isn't a download option from the iPad (App Store clearly think I still have it when I don't) then deleting again but the listing in Settings remains.
    It is really irritating me.
