Mavericks broken lot of functionality on my MacBook Pro
My MacBook Pro worked PERFECTLY, prior to install Mavericks!
After installing Mavericks, I experienced couple of malfunction:
unable to connect via 3G using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband: immediately after start, the program quit unexpectedly
my scanner Epson Perfection 1260 disonnect randomly after scanning the preview
a Java Applet (running in stand-alone window) quit unexpectedly during the Work
the IBM Sametime Unified Telephony (a voip program) doesn't work: no audio during calls
IBM Symphony program quits immediately after start
randomly, connecting my Samsung Galaxy Tab II via USB, the Mac CRASHES (gray screen and reboot)
I read couple of discussions, and I'm convinced that Mavericks is the solely responsible of malfunctions.
I use my MacBook Pro for work, and this is a disastrous condition for me.
I'm very disappointed by this OS update.
Maybe the OS update failed? How can I fix?
Is there a way to recover Mountain Lion?
Thnx.

How do I get my iMac's HD(Broken display) to function through a Macbook Pro?
I am attempting to use my iMac with an external monitor and I need to allow the second screen to function as my primary screen.
I presently have a Displayport to VGA adaptor (leading to a monitor) connected to my iMac. Then, I have a FireWire spanning the iMac and a Macbook.
When connected via FireWire and accessing the Macbook's HD, I can access many files but cannot change any display settings.
After holding Option at the Macbook's start-up and selecting the iMac's HD, the Macbook displays the Apple symbol with a grey background and does not appear to be loading anything.
The iMac is running OS X 10.6.8 and the Macbook is running 10.8.3.Yeah, this is going to be a stickler.
If the MB came with 10.7 or later, it won't boot/load/run 10.6
We might be able to edit some plists on the iMac & do something, but without those 2 to test I'm not sure which/what.
Can you find somebody with a 10.6 Mac? -
I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank youThe techs at Apple do have some lattitude in what they can offer. And it won't hurt to ask, and if they did help you out, it would be your one and only "save" for the rest of your life probably. Since you bought yours back in 2010, I doubt they would do anything. If it were a brand new unit, they may have some sympathy. But in your case, I'd say probably not.

since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this? (my first post ever)
I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
Imagine:
this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
I must go this evening.
Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
true or not? -
Mavericks 10.9.1 error recovery HD (MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013)
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 (late 2013)
I want to reinstall mavericks on this computer but I cannot. Each time I log in recovery HD, a stop sign appear and then my computer shut down. Anybody can help how to get my recovery back? My computer is now 10.9.1 but I notice that my recovery HD is 10.9.0.
Please help me! Any suggestion is appreciated.I've had the same issue. The solution given by Linc and many others don't work on MBP Retina models. Apparently, Apple did something so that these newer models would not proceed with bootdisks. The only way to reinstall Mavericks is to go through Internet Recovery. That's why Apply emphasizes it so much in their support page and the recovery screen.
That's my theory through my trials and errors. Don't take my word for it. -
I am trying to turn my Sony 8mm Handicam video into DVD through my MACBOOK PRO. Unfortunately my DVD function no longer works. Apple won't repair, no longer carries the parts. Referred to Apple repair shop. Gentleman there said it cost the same to purchase an external DVD player as repair the MACBOOK. So far, I have purchased two, including Apple's. Neither works with my MACBOOK. Any ideas or suggestions?
Hi rgneil:
Yeah, keeping an older machine running has it's challenges.
Have you tried one of the DVD burners from Other World Computing? Their sales support can probably guide you to one that should work. The OWC burner that I use with my 2009 17-inch MacBook Pro has FireWire and USB2 connectors.
Are you using iMovie/iDVD or Final Cut Pro/DVD Studio Pro? And, do you have Roxio Toast?
If all else fails, you could try a stand alone DVD-Recorder. You'd want to pick a model that supports external video input. I have a LiteON DVD-Recorder that I patch VHS, Regular8 and Hi8 decks to now and again just to get stuff off tape to DVD-R.
Report back on what works (or continues to not work) for you.
Burn on!

Can Maverick OS be downloaded to my 2008 MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8 ?
Can my 2008 MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.8 be upgraded to the Maverick OS?
Nope, you need 10.6.8 installed first to be able to get it at the App Store...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

It looks like they might still have it...

After install Mavericks I can't turn off my MacBook Pro from the power button.
Dear all, prior to install Mavericks in my MacBook Pro, when I pushed the power button it appeared a dialog box which gave me the option to turn off the copmuter choosing the right option.
After the installation of Mavericks,and obviuosly having the system running, when I push the power button it does just nothing.
Does anyone have the same issue? Have someone solved it?
Thank you very much in advance for your answers, for your attention and for your help.
Kind regards.You can turn off this new sleep feature and restore the shutdown/sleep dialog box to pop up when you press the power button.
In Terminal copy & paste in the following command and then press enter:
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no -
I recently made the switch (after a year of pining) from an ibook G4 to a macbook pro. I love the computer, however, I find myself missing some of the function keys that were on the previous model (mainly the F9 and F10 that used to show all the windows for a certain program and all the windows currently open). Is there anyway to reprogram the current keys so that they reflect the old fuctions? (right now they control the brightness of the keyboard, which I don't particularly care to have as a 'hot key').
The only way is to go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard tab, check the box for Use F1, F2 etc. as standard function keys. However, this will apply to all the F keys - display brightness, volume, etc. There is no way to get around this, unfortunately.
Alternatives are:
1) activate those functions (which are called Expose, by the way) using hot corners (moving the pointer to a corner).
2) assign other key combinations to them.
Set either of those up in System Preferences > Dashboard & Expose.
Hope this helps... -
What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro
What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro
This will vary depending on what HDD/SSD option any system has been specked to, whether from apple or upgraded afterwards (depending on upgradable model)
I have a late 2011 2.4 i5 13" upgraded to 16Gb ram and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD and my install of Mavericks boots in around 15 seconds. This is actually about the same as my 2008 core2duo macbook booted snow leopard with a Samsung 840 (non pro)
You may find a system with less ram actually boots marginally quicker, but this would be marginal. -

Difference in expresscard functionality in a Macbook Pro 5.1 vs 5.2?
I have a Macbook Pro 5.1 that I'm trying to use with a 3rd party expansion chassis that connects via the expresscard 34 slot. I've used this chassis successfully with several other models of Macbook Pro, but I can't get it to work with the 5.1.
Now the manufacturer is telling me that the chassis works with Macbook Pro generations 1 thru 4, and with Generation 5.2 and up.... but that it is incompatible with Macbook Pro 5.1.
Can anybody explain to me what is so unique about the 5.1 that it can't work with the same external Expresscard - to - PCI hardware that works with all other Macbook Pros? And if so, does anyone know of an update or workaround that might correct this? (The hardware manufacturer's only solution is that I need to buy a new computer, which I hate to do, because mine is less than a year old.)IS the express card a delkin or a caldigit or some other brand? It helps to know what express card esata device you have to fix your problem. There are different chipsets in the express cards from different mfg's.

Lots of problems with newer MacBook Pro
I bought my first Mac about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately I've had lots of problems with it. I need to get it repaired, but I'm not sure what's wrong. I live in Thailand so I want to have some idea of what's going on before taking it to a shop (so they don't try to price gouge me).
The first problem happened about 9 months after i bought it. The computer would become incredibly slow. Sometimes it would take 15 minutes to boot up and sometimes it wouldn't boot up at all. But sometimes it was fine. If it did boot up, sometimes when I'd go into a folder in Finder, nothing would show up. The spinning loader graphic would just spin at the bottom of the Finder window. I ran a disk check and it said it found multiple errors that could not be fixed. I erased the hard drive and reinstalled Lion and everything seemed fine. Since I live in Thailand and I need my computer for work, I didn't want to ship it off to Apple to be fixed. It seemed fine after formatting the hard drive, so I figured it was fixed.
About 3 months later the problem came back, but much worse. I couldn't boot up or anything. I took it to a small Mac repair shop because at this point the 1 year warranty had expired. Of course inside the shop it booted up fine and I had to explain to the guy that for 5 days I haven't even been able to turn it on. Finally after restarting 4 times it began slowing down and he could see what I was experiencing. He said he could try replacing the hard drive, but couldn't guarantee it would fix it. I needed my computer badly at this point so I said let's try. I came back a couple days later and he had transferred everything to the new hard drive and installed it. Everything seemed to be working fine.
That worked, although sometimes (rarely) something weird would happen, like the computer would just shut down for no reason. But, the DVD drive stopped working. It loads a disc OK, but it can't read it and won't burn a DVD. One time it wouldn't eject my DVD for about 30 minutes. I was trying everything I could find on Google. Finally it spit it out.
Now, about 6 months later, I was watching a movie and about 10 small colored boxes popped up on the screen. They went away after a few seconds, so I closed my movie and went to shut down my computer. The entire screen then filled with horizontal rainbow colored static. It stayed for about 30 seconds, then the screen turned grey. I could hear and feel the fans blowing at full speed.
And then for about a full day it went away, until earlier today. As I was backing up all my files I played a quick part of a movie. The same squares popped up on the screen so I immediately closed the movie and they went away.
I finished backing up and then erased the hard disk. I started installing Mountain Lion, and it stopped at about 75%. I canceled the installer and restarted. After a few seconds the screen turned solid blue with white staticky lines. And now that happens every time I turn on the computer after about 30 seconds. There's no operating system because before I can even get to the installer before the screen goes.
Sorry for the huge amount of info. I just don't have enough experience with Macs to know what's going on. My current issue resembles a video card problem, the issues before resemble a hard drive and DVD drive issue. Replacing the hard drive fixed it temporarily. Could a problem with the logic board cause all of these issues?
Thanks for any help with this.A few things to note...
If you had contacted Apple about each of the issues that you reported here, they would have kept a log of the problems that would help them determine whether to continue support after the warranty expires.
You might consider asking about "Flat Rate Repair Pricing." See the discussion thread here and note that some users report that the flat rate repair pricing is only available in the U.S. and Japan.

(typically they just ship your computer to Singapore instead of working on it "in-house" from what I read).
Actually, I had great experiences with two different macs sent to the repair depot. One computer had narcolepsy on day one. Apple sent me a box, I packed up the PB and dropped it off at UPS. Apple fixed and returned to my house two days later. The second MBP had a known video card problem. I took it to an Apple Store Genius who ran a specifc test and deduct that it was the known defective video card. The store was out of parts and ordering would take a week. Knowing my past experience with the Repair Depot, I ask for that option. The genius took my MBP and shipped it to the depot that night. Three days later, I received the fixed MBP and on the work order, their tests showed failed fans that they also replaced. Three or four weeks later, the Apple Store called to tell me they got the video card in stock.
Gather up your grit, perseverance, and persistence before contacting Apple. Try bypassing phone support by contacting them via their online support system with the link I provided in the previous post. (I remember using the online support system and was able to choose to have them call me. At the time, I had AppleCare so i'm not certain with out-of-warranty.) Another option is to seek an authorized Apple service provider.
Good Luck!
