Mavericks Confusion
Ok, so I downloaded Mavericks and installed it over my Snow Leopard installation. Of course I lost Photoshop CS2 and Office for Mac 2004 and some other small 32 bit applications.
But, Other 32 bit applications seem to work fine. Examples, Audacity and Yahoo Widgets Engine, which are both listed as 32 bit in the about this mac applications list. Is this because I loaded it over snow leopard and it is not a true Mavericks install. Should I reinstall it on a blank partition??
Also, since this is a download with no DVD, what do I use as a start up disk incase of a OS Crash?? Do I need a bootable Mavericks disk? Can I make one?
Thanks Rachael

Mavericks is a 64-bit OS and can run 32-bit apps. Any of your 32-bit apps that are compatible with Mavericks should still work. You don't need to install Mavericks clean. You didn't do anything wrong!
Mavericks, as well as its predecessor Mountain Lion and Lion, has a Recovery HD to use for things like Terminal , Disk Utility and Reinstall OS X (with an Internet connection). There are no OS disks. You would boot into this using your Command+R keys during startup and you will see a OS X Utilities menu.

Overall confusion after migrating mac mail to mavericks
I am in the midst of migrating my old OSX4.2.1 system over to Mavericks. My old computer was a power PC G4. New one is a MacBook Pro.
I've managed to import my mail, but I am so confused now. In the side bar where it shows all my mailboxes, I used to have a Business mailbox folder for one of my email addresses (my freelance), and a bunch of subfolders for each of the clients. Then, I had my "personal" mailbox folder and all my subfolders (family, kids info, school, etc.).
Now, I have a huge folder marked "flagged" and there is a wide assortment of email in there, from all my old mailboxes.
Then, further down, under "ON MY MAC" there is an import folder, with my previous clients in it. All my old messages are in there it seems.
THEN I have my personal folder, it seems with all my things in tact.
But THEN, the whole thing repeats again....
How do I know what to clean up or remove? Why are there two of everything?
Does the apple store give lessons on this kind of stuff?I don't have an answer for you. But as far as the "why", the way the Mail app works has changed a lot since 10.4. It's quite likely that your mailboxes aren't going to work perfectly with 10.9. Did you have a typo and you actually meant 10.4.11? If your G4 was really on 10.4.2 or 10.4.1 it might be worth upgrading that computer to 10.4.11 before transferring your email. Or it might not help.
If all of your messages are in "On My Mac" that might be the best you can do.
When does "the whole thing repeat again"?
If you do have an Apple store nearby it would be worthwhile to ask. -
Wait, I'm a little confused. On my day old iMac running Mavericks, do I install iDVD from my iLife 11 disk, or somehow copy the app from my existing iMac and install it on my new one?
The following may be a bit easier set up the new Mac with the same iDVD capability on your old Mac:
1 - copy your current iDVD application from the old Mac to the Applications folder of the new Mac. The latest version available is 7.1.2. If you don't have that versoin go to the Apple Downloads site and download the iDVD 7.1.2 updater and run it on your current iDVD application.
2 - copy the iDVD folder that resides in the old Mac's HD/Library/Application Support folder to the same folder on your new Mac.

Illustrator CC 2014 crashing on launch. Troubleshooting solution suggests moving third-party plug-ins, but how do I distinguish third-party plug-ins from those that should stay in situ, AND in any case, how do I actually move them, as any attempt to move anything out of the plug-ins folder simply creates a shortcut?
MoonVole,
You may look at the list of things to try below.
And you may try Creative Cloud support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues):
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html
Or if relevant this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),
http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I have downloaded the install package and launched the installer but after the licence agreement the process stops, I have restarted adn downloaded for a second time but the same thing keeps happening. Has anyone got any ideas ?
Hi JayBoy1978,
If you are still having issues with your Mavericks install, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful (it's an older article, but most of the steps should still apply):

I have a 2008 iMac which had Leopard initially and I have upgraded to each new OS without a hitch. I downloaded "Mavericks" and began the install, it asked me for my "Admin Password" which I have never ever used since I set the Mac up, I have it safely tucked away so entered it, it rejected it each time. Am sort of lost now, as if my "Admin P/W" does not work here can I go from here?
I have seen many others with this problem but so far most of the solutions seem to be for the "log in" or "User" password not the Admin one.
I am running Mountain Lion successfully.
I have my original disks as supplied and also a Snow Leopard install disk.
I have seen some info about fixing this via Lion Recovery partition which I must have due to using Mt Lion.
How can I repair this situation.
Thank you to all those who respond.Thanks for your reply.
I have visited both the sites you listed but it seems to me that the solutions mentioned are to fix the User or log in p/w's.They do not seem to refer to the admin one again.
I understand about it being just like other user accts but the fixes do not really refer to it only the above two.
I have no problem booting up my Mac, I do not use a log in p/w so my problem is with the Admin p/w that was set up back in 2008. This is what I need to reset etc.
I am quite confused over these pw's as to just what is what and I need to make sure I understand all before I get into deeper trouble following these links.
This Admin p/w that was set up has never been used and is the only p/w I have except for my Apple ID. All previous upgrades only required my user name log in which has no p/w set up.
I hope you can follow me here butI have read so much on this it is becoming very confusing about whcih p/w's are what. -
After updates to Pages and several other applications I received an update to Mavericks 10.9, all of which were downloaded and uploaded to my MacBook Pro. After the uploads I created a document in Pages which I saved to my folder. Now when I try to open it I get a message that says I need the latest version of Pages to open this document. What do I need to do to reload the last update to Pages so I can open my document?
In both cases you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Judging from sterling r's response Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Brand new Macbook Pro keeps crashing and restarting - Mavericks
Hey guys, I just got a new Macbook Pro on Monday and my first time turning it on it was perfect, the next day I turned it on and kept crashing and "Restarting due to a problem", it wouldn't even make to to the log in page. Every time I power it up now I get the same issue over and over, once I make it passed the log in it is usually fine but does crash sometimes randomly but not much.
I have read here that updating to Mavericks has caused this problem but surely when it came with it and is less than a week old it should be fine? (I'm confused as to why the report says my Mac is Mid 2012, I just bought it!!) Also the only software I have installed is Microsoft Office. I do have Silverlight Plug in installed for Netflix which I read can be an issue with Mavericks.
I downloaded EtreCheck and this is the report I have. Please any help will be great!

New MacBook Pro with Mavericks- reformat or not?
Hi folks,
Background: I had a lovely MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard which died on me and so I replaced it last week with this equally lovely late 2013 Retina 15" 2.3GHz i7 MacBook Pro which, obviously, came with Mavericks.
But since I was under pressure to get work out I actually set myself up on this Mac, using Mavericks, thinking to just drag some of my files from the old MacBook Pro's hard drive (already in a caddy) to "stock up" my new computer with files I needed when I discovered the Migration Assistant and, perhaps, ill-advisedly just migrated the lot.
I have used it fine with only three applications of, quite literally, a hundred or so lost to me and two glitches probably due to "confused" preferences, but I know that having done it this way is not ideal. I have the original Mavericks based User (hidden of course) and the migrated one.
Snow Leopard versus Mavericks: I very much like Snow Leopard and I don't actually dislike Mavericks as much as I thought I might. But if I were to have to choose one OS over the other the one which would save me money would possibly win.
My problem with Mavericks is two-fold: 1. I have Photoshop CS (yes, OLD. But I cannot justify buying upgrades and it works well for what I use it for) and cannot now run it, and 2. I MUST be able to run Final Cut Pro (6 but I recently bought 7 finally) on it reliably (and I have never had crashes under Snow Leopard, never EVER, but had already one in just one week with Mavericks, possibly due to the way the application arrived on the machine I realise).
My only problem with Snow Leopard is that it is not as cool as Mavericks but for a video editor that is not the be all and end all of it...
What I would like help with is:
1. Could I even have this new Mac run well enough with ancient Snow Leopard (so that I can rescue Photoshop CS)?
2. If absolutely, categorically now- how do I start over? I mean- uninstall the migrated User and take the machine to factory settings? IS it as simple as reformatting (I ask the "silly" question due to the fact that I have not yet worked with a computer which doesn't have install disks) and then reinstalling the software (yes- I have an external hard drive now)?
3. How to effectively "pick the bones" of the old hard drive (I still have the hard drive in the caddy I can take files from- it has become a sort of "time capsule" of my old MacBook Pro) so that I don't mess up Mavericks but still get things like my old email, iPhotos and some installed applications which I am not sure I can find the download links for (even though I have my purchased serial numbers they are often not associated with the download website and with so many I am concerned that I might lose some).

CS3 and newer will run, CS2 or older will not.
You can not run Snow Leopard on your machine (unless you run the Server version in a virtual machine)
Erase your Mac, use Setup Assistant and do the migration correctly, start with an empty Mac (like a new one is)
As for FCP, there are mixed reports, some say it will not install but once installed (?) will run OK, you can but try. -
HT6065 After upgrading to Mavericks , I now find my Mac mini runs very slowly.
Now that I've upgraded to Mavericks why does my Mac mini feel like a PC?
Speed was never an issue I have stock standard 2011 model....
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
500Gb Hdd SATA (175Gb free)
1x USB3 external hub w/- 4 Seagate external self powered hard drives
(3x 2Tb/ 1x 1Tb)
I regularly remove files that I no longer require, I use Clean my Mac and remove the garbage regularly too.
I have checked for any open programs with activity monitor and the results are.....there hasn't been any.
As mentioned before upgrading I was using OSX Mountain Lion with no problems at all.
My son said" Don't upgrade until all the bugs are ironed out"
Well.....Younger generation knows best
and of course I use Time machine for back ups.
So I am very tempted to downgrade after the new year...
Any speed resolutions would be handy
Thanks in advanceIf you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostictest. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary in case your startup drive is failing.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out.
If possible, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; { o=$(( $(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{print $2}' | tr -d .)/256 )); [[ $o -gt 1024 ]] && printf "\nPageouts: %s MiB\n" $o; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; o=$(crontab -l); PR "User cron tasks"; o=$(cat /e*/lau*); PR "Global launchd configuration"; o=$(cat ~/.lau*); PR "Per-user launchd configuration"; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $o; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist"); ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s (%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal.
To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your password. Also remember to post the output. -
After upgrading to Mavericks I cannot connect to internet nor run apps like steam?
I installed Mavericks without a problem but after restarting I did not have internet connection. I tried restarting the modem and the router but nothing happens. It connected to router but claims their is no IP? So finally after about an hour of fiddling around with the modems and my computer I gave up and decided to reinstall Mavericks through the CMD+R during boot. Low and behold it finally connected me to the internet, but when I try to run applications such as steam and Minecraft it says that there is no internet connection available? I am very confused, I can load web pages and the app store on my MacProRetina 15" and yes I have reinstalled both minecraft and steam. Steam is stuck on "checking for available update" and minecraft claims their is no internet connection. I have updated Java, deleted both apps and nothing. Can someone please help me out?
You don't need to go to the App Store to for support for Steam and Minecraft. You need to go to their website(s).

Computer won't upgrade to 10.9.5 after Mavericks update.
This is all a little confusing now...let's stop and get the basics down so Chris and I are on the same sheet of paper:
What MacBook Pro do you have and how much memory and how much free space on the hard drive?
From the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and what does it show for Model Identifier?
You currently have Mac OS X 10.6.8 installed, downloaded 10.9.x from the Mac App Store? If so there should be an Installer for Mac OS X in the Finder, Applications folder if it has not yet installed. Exactly what does it give as the name for the installer and how big is it, should be a little larger than 5 GB.
