Mavericks security lock won't open

Trying to make a system change and cannot get the lock to open.
Conversely, where did the screen recording controls go in Quicktime when you record part of the screen?

Having the same issue.
Environment:
Lenovo R61
M/T = 8934-F9U
CSS = 8.21.0006.00
Troubleshooting Done:
--Updated BIOS to current available.
--Updated CSS to version listed above.
--Logged in as a different user (with local admin rights.) and created a new local Windows profile. Logged in as this new user, I was able to get Password Manager to launch.
-- Reset security settings using CSS application (Advanced, Reset Security Settings)
--Disable AV realtime scanning while attempting to launch mgr.
Observations =
--When I launch the Password Manager application, the system hangs for a bit, then the cursor moves to a different area of the screen. The user of this machine has the "click to button that's in focus" setting enabled, so I assume that the app is loading but it crashes/disappears before the user is able to enter the login information to access the passwords (e.g. either fingerprint or windows password.)
-- With the Password Mgr systray icon loaded, I do get prompted to save new passwords.
I have seen that there are many many people out there with this problem but there doesn't seem to be any resolution. I've searched through various posts (most related to Firefox 3.0 issues), but to no avail.
I suppose my next steps are:
--- Restage laptop (no way...will instruct end user to go 3rd-party app before advising him to incur that expense)
--- Uninstall/Reinstall CSS.
--- Create new profile for user, migrate all of his data and test.
I'm open to suggestions or better "next steps" then I could come up with.
Thank you for reading,
David.

Client Security Solution Won't Open / Load

I have been messing with this over a month now and can't seem to get this working. I am using IE8, a noticed that password manager add-on was disabled, so I enabled it and it crashed IE. When I click on Client Security Solution to start password manger, nothing happens. I have re-installed the client solution several times, but still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions to getting this working?

After Maverick install Mail won't open all the way

MacBook Pro laptop had troubles upgrading to Maverick. Kept saying no updates available. Took to Genius Bar and they got it to accept Maverick so now I'm running 10.9.5 issue I have is with mail. It says the application Mail is open in finder and the top tool bar also says Mail is open. But the actual window with my email accounts and subfolders will not open. On the top top Mail bar I can not select any of the File options. So basically I can not access any of my mail on my laptop. What can I do?

Hey Eustace,
Ok the funny thing is I can not see that window at all, it never opens up. Here is what I get.So I only can see the mail application open in the very top main tool bar and when I select File drop down list or Edit drop down list, I'm limited on what I can select as shown above. Additional weirdness is I have another user on my computer and his mail window will open. Does the above make sense? I feel like its just some easy switch I'm overlooking but can't figure it out to save my insanity.
As seen here I can not change the status of my accounts easily.

Some apps won't open after OS X Mavericks update

After the update to OS X Mavericks, some apps won't open on my macbook pro. That include things like preview, boot camp assistant, from what I've tried so far. When I click on those from applications menu or from the spotlight search, the icon appear on the dock very briefly(like 1 sec) and nothing happened after that. Based on the internet search, I tried the Disk permissions repair and didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi aung.24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting for "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" from this article:

Preview won't open PDFs

I have a brand new Macbook Air using OS X Mavericks and preview won't open any pdf's. It keeps saying "preview quit unexpectedly", it gives me the option of re-opening and still nothing. Not sure what to do - it's quite frustrating. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Just tried that - preview was already the default option, but I clicked it again anyway and clicked on another option and back to preview to try that too. Re-opened pdf and still same error....
Not sure if this helps but this is some of the jargon under the error message:

<Edited by Host>

Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

What version of iPhoto?
What format is the disk?

ITunes won't open, I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

iTunes won't open.
I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

Firefox won't open, error msg = can't find profile; deleted all app.data to rid new Win 7 Total Security virus - tried both v 4.0 & v 3.6 (now no error msg either). Can't open profile manager, can't open safe mode. pls help

My mother's computer was infected with the new "Win 7 Total Security" virus (apparently a fake antivirus program) - corrupted real av. To remove, we followed online advice to delete everything in AppData, for all programs, plus some other stuff. We moved it all to a flashdrive for safety, but after successfully removing virus, likewise cleaned & reformatted flashdrive. This apparently deleted Firefox profile(s), and after uninstalling & reinstalling, Firefox still won't open - I can't create a new profile. With v 4.0, I get an error message about not being able to find the profile. Found advice on how to open profile manager, but it won't open. Found reference to version 4 dispensing with profile manager, so tried installing version 3.6 again; still won't open, still can't open profile manager, but now no error message at all.

THANX for the reply cor-el. I've never had a problem using just "firefox -p", but i did use the full path like you advised after i read the profile manager article here before i posted my question. Unfortunately it didn't work. I've backed up all 3 profiles from the "%appdata% profile" file, and also from my remaining main profile that i'm on right now. I decided i'm going to uninstall ff3.6.28 & upgrade to "firefox 11" this weekend and hopefully create the other 2 profiles along with my main one. I do like in the newer versions of FF the tabs on top like googles chrome because it gives you more room on the page. I also like some other features too, but the main reason i kept my old version both times is because the newer versions didn't seem to load pages any faster than version 3.6.28. I'm not going to worry about some themes/personas not being compatible with ff11. I'll find some new ones. I think when i tried "ff9" awhile back along with my current version, i just deleted the shortcut that the article said to create on the desktop and still had all 3 profiles & no problems like i have now. In case your curious, the article on how to create more than one version of firefox at the same time was on the site "Dottech.org>[How To] Tip: Install multiple versions of Firefox to test before upgrading to latest release". It works but i obviously did something different this time that caused this problem. THANX again for your time/help, i do appreciate it.

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

Hey,
Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
Thanks,
Eliot

I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..
