Mavericks and apple servers
I updated my iMac 2007 iMac7,1 to mavericks (fresh install, not update), all works fine...
Download new voices from dictate preferences (stay on 12% and after minutes receive an error), download of windows support from bootcamp (give an errror) and os x updates going in loop...
but all other things works fine.... and my Macbook Pro, works fine on the same network.. and same installation type.
what is the problem? i see the update wheel on AppStore for a long time, and i can't download windows drivers etc...
i tried safe mode, unistall some apps. nothing works.
sorry for my bad english

i remember problems after install (download voices) without any app installed. i tried to change network, the same.
This particular issue is not one we normally see reported. Random connection issues are difficult to track down.
Test your network connection.
Download and run: Namebench (free) http://code.google.com/p/namebench/
Once you have the fastest domain name servers, you then have to manually change your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network/
Select different browsers under the popup. I got varying results when using different browsers. Surprisingly, Firefox suggest Google Public DNS as primary, but Chrome and Safari gave me same settings.
System Preferences > Network > Select you internet service (be it Airport, Ethernet etc) then click advanced tab > Select DNS and enter the settings
Another option is to try turning off IPv6:
In System Preferences --> Network -> choose the Ethernet tab in the far left column --> Advanced button -> TCP/IP tab --> Configure IPv6: dropdown menu, choose Off --> Okay button.
The reason that turning IPv6 off may improve performance is that some DNS servers do not properly respond to IPv6 requests. As a result, your computer has to time out waiting for a response and then try a secondary DNS server.
In recent versions of OS X, IPv6 typically is set to "automatic" by default. You have nothing to lose by turning IPv6 to "off" and then seeing if performance improves.
Hope this helps!

Hallo! I'm using mavericks and apple tv, but the airplay button on my laptop isn't there, why??
I found out that the built in firewall interferes with AirPlay (which I know is weird).
Try turning the OS X firewall off using System Settings -> Security. If AirPlay now works, turn on the firewall and add "coreaudio" to the list of exceptions. This worked for me.
Coreaudio is the system driver for audio. -
I'd like to advise Apple of an issue. Is the Apple Support Communities the best method?
I have a 2011 circa MacBookPro 2.2 GHz intel i7, Radeon HD 6750M, 4GB RAM. It originally came with Mac)S 10.7 (I believe), after upgrading to MacOS 10.8 I saw a large increase in the number of spinning beach balls (SBB) so much that I was advised to upgrade to MacOS 10.9 Mavericks for better memory management. About 3 weeks ago I had reached a point where the MacOS was sluggish all of the time, in fact it took 15 minutes to start the computer and achieve a functional desktop. It seemed like I was greeted with a SBB of varying lengths for just about every task I selected. On Monday, 24 Feb, I contacted Apple and they advised me to reinstall Mavericks from scratch, that it was possible that the OS updates had left some baggage behind.
Sure enough this fixed the issue for 3 days. My MBP seemed to be back to its old self! However this morning I ran into another hard core spinning beach ball, 15 minutes later without being able to shutdown firefox or tell the MacOS to shutdown, or do anything, I finally pulled the plug and forced a restart. This stall was so horrific, maybe it would have recovered, but I did not have an hour to sit there staring at it. If I am at fault it is for not shutting down my MBP, but putting it to sleep at night. Usually I restart it about once a week or so. I may have to abandon this practice and shut down every night. After the restart every thing seems back to order for now. In the near future I plan on upgrading this hardware to 8GB RAM.
I am not a programmer, but there seems to be something woefully inadequate in the MacOS when it allows itself to reach this state. I understand memory leakage and imagine it would not be that difficult to monitor memory usage and put out a warning that available memory is low and a restart is recommended or hold enough memory in reserve so that there will always be enough control to tell the computer to restart. I'd like to be sure Apple gets this message. Is this the best way, is there another avenue, or should I email/call them directly?
And looking for advice on how avoid SBB in the future. Thanks!Dave,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, I'll try to add my two cents worth.
Feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback
Of course, there is the old fashioned letter (physical paper) to the president or some other officer of the company. I'm sure someone will see it. I've found this works well, as it is so rare these days that it gets attention - usually.
Regarding SBB (Spinning Beach Balls) and RAM, I agree with you that 8GB RAM and probably an SSD of some sort are a good starting point or base for decent performance. I've noticed that is usually the set-up on display at the Apple retail stores. FYI: I never or very rarely ever reboot my MacBook and it works well enough. But it does seem slow at times (particularly at boot up and initial opening of applications), yet surprises me at other times with how fast it does some things - once they are opened initially and in RAM somewhere.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Intel Video, with OS 10.9.1 (Mavericks). It works well enough with Mavericks and Apple only software, but add Chrome and all bets are off. It will work, but is much slower as Chrome loads lots of stuff right up front. Once everthing is loaded it runs well enough though. I've come to believe that any software not native to the OS is suspect!
I have to add though that for the past month or so, I have moved over to a PC laptop for access to MS Word (touchscreen is okay too) and the MacBook is just sitting there collecting dust. I'm not suggesting you do that - I was just curious and have been a long time user of multiple platforms.
In reading your post, it seems your MBP (MacBook Pro) ran fine for 3 days then suddenly had problems. What happened or was installed in that 3 day period? How did you restore your data? I ask because once I restored from a Time Machine backup to a MBP and had all sorts of problems including bad performance, and sleep issues. The only answer that I came up with was to manually transfer all data and just data (files) into the new OS (after a fresh install). Data was transferred manually using an external HDD. Just a thought.
Of course, your post also mentions that you had SBBs on your first upgrade to 10.8 before Mavericks and in-fact that was the reason for upgrading to Mavericks. I would guess whatever problems you had with 10.8 were just incorporated into Mavericks and magnified. A clean install of whatever OS (not an update) and using only native OS apps at first then slowly adding one at a time non-OS-native apps as needed while keeping an eye on resources via Activity Monitor can be of great help and lots of times identifies many problems - perhaps even with an OS native-app.
How are you doing your install of Mavericks - off the internet, locally? My internet is so slow that I ended up creating a boot/recovery USB 3.0 fast flash drive and that helps tons with the whole process. Here is a one link of many of that process: http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html.
Another issue that slowed down one of my Macs was found in a conflict between iWorks '09 and the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I updated to the newer versions with the older versions still installed and it caused lots of problems including decreased performance. I think the older iWorks included indexing in Spotlight while the newer one did something different, so the HDD was forever indexing and killing the system (unusable!). I really don't know what the actual technical problem was, but I ended up removing the older iWorks and using the newer exclusively. The problem cleared up. I did end up re-installing iWork '09 later but it is not the default program, and I have to specifically request that a Pages document open with it.
You had also mentioned memory leakage in passing. Activity Monitor on your Mac will monitor memory and processes and is a handy tool for checking into that. Watch for non-native OS applications in my opinion. It seems like this might be a real possibility given that you posted how a reboot fixes the problems albeit temporarily.
Have you checked you HDD to ensure that it is clean (e.g. verify permissions, and repair disk). I usually like to run this using Disk Utility from a recovery disk (e.g. USB flash drive) or outside of the OS. I guess you could also run it off the internal partition. Hold Option then press power to boot to boot manager then select recovery partition. - Command + R brings up the same thing but off the internet and can be slow depending on you ISP speed (your laptop may need the firmware update seen below in a hyperlink to do this). I just wanted to make sure the HDD is sound and without corruption.
Here are some more keyboard combos that are handy.
Cmd + Ctrl + power button = force restart
Cmd + Option + P + R (hold all then press Power Button) = clears your PRAM or NVRAM (a good place to start).
Option hold then Power Button = boot manager (to get to recovery another way).
Shift hold then Power Button = safe mode (might try this to see how it responds)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533 here is the "official" list.
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_use_os_x_boot_options_troubleshoot_you r_mac here is an older unofficial list with explainations.
Clearing PRAM alone has fixed issues for me in the past.
Firmware: done?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904 is a firmware update for MacBooks circa 2011 and earlier guessing this has been done or is not necessary.
Hope something in here touches a chord or kicks off a spark to help find your MacBook's problem(s).
Good luck. -
In my Iphone 5, Nothing on my App Store is working, its displaying blank (Except for Genius section). I've tried to uninstall and install itunes and all its component in my desktop but still it doesn't fix the app store issue. Not sure if its problem with apple servers. Someone help please!
settigns>itunes and app store to make sure you are signed in.. If you are, you will see your account name..... anyhow, click your account name, sign out and sign back in
also go to to settings>general>reset and reset network settings... if that doesnt work settings>general>reset and reset all settings!
one of those shall work. The last step would be to restore your device (apple.com/support) HT1414 -
Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution. -
After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.
I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful. -
Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?
How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

iMac OS X 10.9.4

I updated the system to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot open iPhoto with all my pics in.
I trying to update iPhoto 9.5.1 and this note appears:Make sure you're logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to download and install Mavericks. If necessary, log out of the App Store and log back in.
If that fails contact the App Store support personnel via the link circled in this screenshot: -
Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad. can not use apple chat to talk with a tech. there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button. No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick
THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -

Downloading mavericks and it's been on the apple logo for more than 2 hours
I started downloading mavericks and I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and it's been at the apple logo with the greyish white screen with the turning wheel for over 2 hours I'm not sure if that's normal. It would be great if someone who had a familiar problem I'm thinking about rebooting it if that's a good idea?

After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?
Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
"This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
*ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
*RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
(As in my case it was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
Here is how I got it fixed
I contacted apple support via chat method and I asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
(As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone ) -
I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?
Hi Eustace.
Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?
What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
How much RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!
