Mavericks full of bugs

I have just restored my iMac (early 2009) to Mountain Lion after trying Mavericks. The Mavericks installation went without any problems, as have all the upgrade installations that I have ever done going back to 2001. And every upgrade has presented no serious problems. Until now with Mavericks.
My iMac seems to be running well. Disk Utility disc verification was without any issues. I do not have any strange third party apps installed. They all come from the App Store.
Nevertheless, Mavericks has been one problem after another. For instance, both my updated Aperture and iPhoto have needed to be force quit and then they refuse to open anymore. I wanted to restart my iMac to solve this problem, but the restart hanged in the grey screen and I had to force quit my iMac with the power button.
The Finder screen has frozen, spotlight has failed to find a file I know I have, system preferences has frozen, as well as Safari. It all seems to happen only with Apple apps. And each time I try to restart I have to press the power button to force a shutdown to do so.
I have no idea why Mavericks is doing this. I am back now in Mountain Lion and everything works perfectly!

I have exactly the same issues, the inability to shut-down properly is incredibly annoying, and overall there seem to be more bugs.
Windows constantly freeze, with inconsistencies such as app icons staying in the dock after being force-quit. Window focusing is also broken, with focus not being applied to the window I click until I click around like a mad-man for 10 seconds.
But to top it off, I keep getting frozen out of the system, I'll be working away and then everything freezes apart from my mouse and music from iTunes, leaving no alternative but forcing a restart.
All of these things led me to believe it's a HDD issue, but considering I had it replaced 6 months ago by Apple, it has to be Mavericks.
I'd happily pay Apple for an upgrade if it meant better quality-control!

AIR 3 Android runtime full of bugs?

I have a Flex SDK 4.5.1 Flex mobile app and i have not compiled it yet using the new SDK. So it's stil being compiled with the current 4.5.1 sdk release.
I took the air Runtime.apk from the sdk, manually installed it on my phone just to see how my current APK runs with the new Air 3 beta runtime...and it's full of bugs.
It starts out fine, but i've noticed after im on a view when I activate and view the raw camera inside the view, the screen sort of flickers, goes black for a second, then comes back.
Then, after this happens it seems like the back button no longer functions properly. Rather than doing a pop view, it seems to quit the application. This only happens after the camera is accessed.
I've also noticed randomly sometimes the view will no longer auto rotate properly, and some things don't scale properly.
I've also noticed the Sideways camera bug is still not resolved. This is extremely important and really needs to gets fixed. You can see the bug report I submitted a LONG time ago right here http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-30317 Please this has to be fixed.
To solve the random bugs, is it possible once i compile the app with the new sdk it wil work fine? Just seems like it should be able to run fine on the new runtime, what about the devs that don't update their apps right away?

This is all on a Nexus One 2.3.4 and a Xoom 3.1
Is anyone else out there with a flex mobile project? That features using the camera. Or maybe someone that can confirm the camea is sideways, causing flickers, and back button is sometimes exiting the app, rather than popView

IPhone 6 Plus full of bugs

Why are so many bugs with iphone 6 plus? IOS 8 is so bad and full of bugs! Screen rotation issues, dropping calls, horrible signal, internet slow and wifi signal problems! This is one of the worst phones i ever had on life. I changed from android to iphone because it is supposed to be better but im so disapointed that i will return my phone before 30 days trial! So i can go back to galaxy... Unless apple fix every single bug in IOS 8.0.2....... So disappointed

I suggest you try to restore as new before jumping in to install 8.1 in the hopes that that might solve the problem. That will "flush" the system and instal a "clean" copy of iOS 8.0.2. Sometimes problems are due to corrupted software and that problem is only solved by a clean restore. You can then synch your content (digital music, movies, apps) back to your phone.
If, by chance, the system software is corrupted, installing 8.1 might not solve the problem, but make the situation worse. So I suggest you try the step approach to rule out any problems now before you instal 8.1. If after you restore as new and the problems persist, then install 8.1. If that does not help, then as I have said before, it could be a hardware problem.

Good potential but full of bugs

The Smart Web Printing 4.60 is a neat little thing but it is full of bugs. I have read some of the postings and ran into many of the same problems. I finally got the hang of it. The trouble is - sometimes things work and sometimes they don't even though I do the same thing. I think there is something wrong with the program. Sometimes I can't even sign in even though my user name and password are correct. Sometimes I can't print - try 3 or 4 times and then it prints. Sometimes I get the "Clip, Print" menu and sometimes I don't. I try again 4 or 5 times and it comes up. It would be a neat thing if you can print just part of a website, but the trouble and time it takes isn't worth it. Maybe the bugs will be worked out and it will be worth it. Until then, I may just go back to printing the whole page.

A couple of updated items. There was a very easy way of deleting the sticky notes, but the trash can ran off the screen based on the side of the display settings that I had, so initially I was not aware of this. It also did install the air application on the XP64, but sent error codes stating that it didn't. It seems to work fine with that minor exception.

Nokia N86 Email Messaging Full of Bugs When Next U...

I just bought a New Nokia N86 and I am very sad for this phone!
I use a lot the mails, both for office (exhange) than private (gmail)
I noticed the following bugs:
1) No HTML option only after I can read in HTML but it keep a lot of time to download also a little immage
2) No possibility to write in html, i cannot include picture inside a message, i cannot change colors or fonts or bolds or insert any emoticons
3) The memory of the phone is full (out of memory) after one days, because that stupid program download the messages in "C" (not E not memory card) but never cancell from memory, also i said to update for 3 days. so i think I have to rester the phone every day!
4) The phone is slow, very slow, very very slow, also it freeze when I open the gmail with nokia messaging of the mobile phone
But the nokia tester after you do a new release try to instal all programs on the phone a some other new and some mail account?
Your tester try to read and write mails?
The N86 of your testers crash after 2 days or is perfect?
If is perfect that's mean you use a different phone from the one sold in shops. Or your tester sleep all day instead to test the phone!
I'm so stupid to buy NOkia phones! (I bought my 10th nokia phone and every year the phones become slower and full of bugs.
instead to improve the programs (like e-mail) the program are more and more slower and useless
I think that all Nokia managers use a Blackberry for office mails, and iPhone for private e-mails and music and video

After doing exactly the same settings suddenly the stupid thing works! Only difference was that I didn't accept the certificate and exited out of mail before the dumb thing tried to connect without having the full and correct settings in place. This really isn't easy to use! It is really very poor to have an email setup that trashes the username and password settings and switches on security when a user has expressely selected 'none' so it *will never work* when a user tries to connect for the first time.
I also think that depending on exactly how you start the email settings wizard will depend exactly on what result you get. I didn't use the 'add mailbox' icon in the previous times - I used the menu option. I'd recommend setting up via that icon rather than the menu as it seems to be a tiny bit better at making sure the settings can actually work.
But the wretched thing still doesn't seem to be able to send mail however!

Safari is FULL OF BUGS (OSX Mavericks 10.9, Haswell Retina Macbook Pro 13")

Tab x's disapear (to close tabs)
Tabs don't always work (I try to open something in new tab and it just doesn't)
Safair won't even quit unless I open up force quit
Pinch zooming completely freezes Safari..
Is this being FIXED? How could this many bugs get past apple. They happen ALL THE TIME.
I'll reset Safari and it will work fine for about 10 minutes, but then its back to s**ting itself.

Hi,
I don't think these issues are common with all Macs running mavericks. I also have a 13" rMBP with haswell and my safari works perfectly.
Do you have any addons that may be causing the problem? Have you tried shutting down and all that?

Why no Update yet even though Mavericks full of Finder bugs

In the Finder We have problems with Windows, folders(they stubborn and don't want to move where you move them), and regarding web related operations TEXT operations and Text Edit, you can no longer Copy text and images from a webpage and Pasting them to a Text Edit document. The text is really small and the images are not transferred. Especially if you do it with Firefox.. The only way you can highlight text and images from a webpage and copy them into a text file is to use SAFARI.. and then highlight the text and images in the webpage and press... COMMAND + C+ CTRL and it has to be in that order... one after the other..and hold each key..
Printing is weird too. The Text Edit Text looks good in your monitor but when you preview it for Print Preview it's super huge..So then you have to go back to your document and make the text tiny.
That and other problems including files and folders becoming invisible when you drop them accidentally into other files or something.
Why are we still on 10.9.5 with no update??? Isn't it time for an update to fix things?

oh Great Does it fix many of the things from Mavericks? And what if you have installed things in Mavericks like a thing that adds folder functions and stuf like that. And i have a Mac Pro 2.66 Gzh Quad Core IntelXeon. from 2009. 10GB
I heard that yosemete is not good for the older macs. I wonder if mine is considered old

Mavericks Full Crash When Shifting Spaces

What can be done about this? Is this a known bug? I'm on 10.9.1 on Macbook Pro 2.6 GHz i7 w 16GB ram. No connected hardware.
This has happened at least a dozen times since upgrading to Mavericks. While working something happens that causes me to accidentally shift to another space. But this shift cause the system to freeze. Force Quit does not work, although I was able to take a screen shot. The only resolution when this has happened has been a full reboot.
I'm not seeing a Kernal panic listed in the logs.
I saw logs at that time relating to:
com.apple.IconServicesAgent
main Failed to composit image for binding VariantBinding [0x5ab] flags: 0x8 binding: FileInfoBinding [0x497] - extension: PNG, UTI: public.png, fileType: ????.
and

You can see the screen frozen between views of two Spaces:

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

Screen Mirroring does not work, full of bugs.

Hi,
I've had a Sony Z1 for well over six months now and have got a Sony Bravia TV that supports mircast screen mirroring. When I purchased the Z1 it was on android 4.2 and the screen mirroring worked a treat, it was lag free, always responsive etc.
But when I upgraded to 4.3, the mirroring was buggy as **bleep**, the device always disconnected, when it did connect after several attempts it would lag, black out, then disconnect again. I've tried fiddling with wifi settings as well as wifi direct etc. but no joy and I left it as that.
When I knew 4.4 kitkat was coming to the z1 I waited as I would assume the issue would be fixed, but I upgraded to 4.4 (build: 14.3.A.0.757) today and is still full of these disconnecting and unresponsive bugs. I'm not sure what the problem is, I mirrored a samsung s4 mini and works absolutely fine (4.2) and I can mirror my sony xperia tablet z (4.3) with no issues either. I know a relative who also owns the z1 and has exactly the same issue, what also seems to happen now and then, is that half way through a mirrored session, the wifi would disable and will switch to the mobile network, then after some time, back to wifi again; yet this never happened on 4.2?
Is there a fix or a way to solve these issues? It's rather annoying having such a great feature that doesn't want to work on a flagship.
Thanks.

I had some issues with Miracast on my Z1 but with 4.2 and 4.3 firmware. It was loosing connection or kept saying that I don't have HDCP. I was connecting using Netgear Push2TV.
On 4.4 (.757) it works quite stable. On Z1C with 4.3 I wasn't able to miracast at all.
The same goes with screen mirroring to Z2 tablet. Works fine from Z1 to Z2 (both KitKat, altough one touch pairing is a disaster and not working at all), but you can forget about it using Z1C and Android 4.3.

Full-Screen bug with Safari

I hope this is already a known issue.
I use Safari on Mac OS X. In my flex application, I have
problem with full-screen mode. When I get back to normal mode from
full-screen mode, and then resize or maximize safari window, the
screen displays abnormally. Most of components disappears, and
sometimes all of them. The same problem occurs with other video
players, including the one in youtube. I haven't tested it with
other browsers yet. I hope this problem is fixed in future release.
Thanks,

Chaos,
Can you please file a bug in the bugbase (
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex)
and somebody can have a look at it. Also, be sure to mention which
version of OS X, Safari, and the Flash Player you're using. And if
you have any source code showing the problem, that definitely
helps.
I did a quick test and i was unable to repro the issue using
the latest Flex 3 SDK on XP/IE7, XP/Firefox, OSX/Safari and
OSX/Firefox (WIN 9,0,60,163 and MAC 9,0,60,161).
