Mavericks Clean Install and dialog boxes still don't work?!

I upgraded to Mavericks and all seemed well until I tried to open saved files from any of my applications. The Open dialog box would open with list of files with tags to left in small font. None of which were clickable. If I knew its location in Finder I could drag it over open diag box and it would highlight and I could open it using open button but could not click and select it.
I wiped the HD and did a clean install. No help.
When I create files in for eg Pages the only way I can use them again after save is from recent menu. If they get knocked off Im buggered. What the **** is up with Mavericks or am I the only sucker around!?

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

License installed: Memleak & JRA Recording still don't work on remote srv

This a JRockit 28.1.1 version on a remote server.
As noted, a "LIC-JRMC50" license has been installed into its jre, but the memory leak and jra recording functions from the local xp based Mission Control 3.0.5 still don't work.
The connector to the remote server is working, as I can open console and see its workings.
When attempting to start Memory Leak an error is shown:
Caused by: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: bea.jrockit.management:type=MemLeak
at com.sun.jmx.interceptor.DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.getMBean(DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.java:1094)
When trying to start JRA Recording a message is shown that says something like "No Options could be retrieved for this connector. Make sure you're connected to a Jrockit instance..".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

JRockit 28.1.1 should work better with Mission Control 4.0.1 (which should be bundled together with JRockit R28.1.1)
JRockit 27 versions use JRA, JRockit 28 versions use FlightRecorder instead.
Mission Control 4.0.1 requires not license file.

From an earlier thread:
"1. Photoshop sometimes does not update all its components to 10.0.1. This is Windows-only. As I mentioned in an earlier message, you can tell if you're having this problem by selecting "System Info" from the Help menu in Photoshop and checking what version the Scripting Support plugin is. If it says 10.0.0, but Photoshop is listed as 10.0.1, you're experiencing this issue. From what I can tell in this forum, this is usually fixed by downloading the 10.0.1 update, rebooting your machine, and re-applying the update. Check the Scripting Support plugin version again to verify that the update happened successfully. "

Lost iLife after OS X Mavericks Clean Install

Hi, I just did an OS X mavericks clean install and lost the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand). I downloaded the iPhoto app and Apple charged me $15 for an app I already pay. What I can do in this situation? How can I get my money and apps back?
Thanks,
iRCM

How did you obtain the original apps that you had installed? If you have the old iLife install disk, just use that to reinstall them. If you purchased them at the app store, they should show in your purchases so you can download them again. If they were installed in your Mac and were older versions and you did not make a backup, then they're gone. When a new version is introduced, you have to purchase it again - that is how the app store works now: Apple may make an update available at no charge, but a new version needs to be purchased (you can use your older version until it is no longer compatible with the OS you are running).

Kensington, Deja Vu, Typeit4me still don't work, even w/ 10.4.5

The update seems to have gone smoothly, but the software for my Kensington trackball, the back-up Deja Vu sofware, and Typeit4me all still don't work.
Oh well.

Even when all other apps are running I have no menu bar icons. The big problem is the system prefs don't respond to me wanting to show them in menu bar. I can click the box to show them, close the window, and then when I go back into the pref pane the box is unchecked.

I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to installpermission

I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to install

So, then, after you click the Install button you receive the permissions error dialog? Again, are you logged into an Admin account?
Have you tried:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair
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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Also, please check the settings on your startup drive. Select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, then open the bottom-most panel and check the settings. They should look like this:

Mavericks - clean install with filevault and Time machine restore

Hi All,
I will update my MacBook pro mid 2011 with the new Mavericks OS.
I've activated Filevault on my HDD due to corporate security rules.
I want to make a clean install of the new OS.
I plan the following action:
1 - Make a full backup with Time machine
2 - Create a USB drive with Mavericks on it, I'm using Diskmaker to create it
3 - Start MBP with the USB
4 - With disk utility erase my HDD
5 - Install Mavericks
6 - Reload my data from the Time machine Backup
Question:
I'm a bit Scare about the Time Machine backup and Filevault, any experience with the same configuration, do I risk anythink if I follow my plan ?
Do I need to desactivated Filevault before to lunch my clean install and make the backup after that ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback
Regards
Alain M.

Hi Alain,
I see you never got a reply to this, but I'm wondering what you finally did? I have very similar questions, but I'm "upgrading" from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I also have FileVault activated and use a Time Machine backup. Any comments/suggestions/experience you (or others) would like to share would be helpful.
Thanks

After automated install of Lightroom 6 (CC), Lightroom 6 don't start! I did reboot my computer and Lightroom 6 still don't start.

After automated install of Lightroom 6 (CC), Lightroom 6 don't start! I did reboot my computer and Lightroom 6 still don't start. The same time I updated Photoshop CC and Bridge > no problems what so ever.
Is it wise to remove Lightroom 6 and reinstall?
Robert de Jonge

Could you try to logout- and in again via the CC-app and start LrD 6.0 afterwards.
Hope that helps.

Mavericks clean install, won't reboot

2009 13" MacBook Pro. I tried to do a clean install and cleared my hard drive (using option key when restarting, recovery hd, and erasing). Mavericks installed fine, but my computer didn't restart automatically, it just took me back to the OS X utilities. I can see the OS X Base System on my disk utility and I verified the disk and it was fine. I've tried the PRAM reset and it still doesn't work. Every time I start my computer the only thing I can see is OS X Utilities.
I did not use a USB bootable install drive because I was under the impression I did not need one if I was doing a clean install. Is that my problem? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not very good with computers!

I'm at the point where I've got Yosemite on a thumb drive
Did you create a bootable USB installer, or do you just have a copy of the installer on the USB drive?
If you have a bootable USB installer, did you test it before you erased your drive?

Clean install and transferring applications

I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro a year and a half ago with the top performing quadcore i7 with 8GB of RAM. Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. I have had some serious performance issues. I have already done a time reinstall and still have the same performance problems, which is pretty poor and a very hot core. I have read that doing a clean install and transfering file from the TM results in noticably better performance. I have never done this before so I like to know the risks and can I transfer my applications (pages, keynotes, word, powerpoint, ect.)

Yes, that is an option although you will need to take care you do not restore from backup something that is the direct cause of your problems.
All your applications may be reinstalled from the App Store or installation DVDs depending upon where and how they were purchased.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Clean install and restore from Time Machine: Will i lose my applications ?

I want to do a Snow Leopard clean install instead of a an upgrade.
1) How do I do the clean install and restore it from Time machine during the install ?
2) If I do the clean install and restore from Leopard's time machine backup, will I retaing all my applications or I will only retain my personal files ?
- If I don't retain my applications, how will my photos in iPhoto be restored without iPhoto ?

If you did a complete TM backup, then all your files, users, settings, and programs will be restored. You will have the opportunity to restore using TM at the end of the install. I would back at least my data up separately.
To erase and install (i.e., clean install), start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase your drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from TM.
