Mavericks slow and have to repair HD regularly
My computer is responding slowly on most tasks, but especially when opening a program, trying to get help, etc. It also come up with an alert that a drive wasn't ejected properly, even though I never tried to eject it and when check the HD it generally come up with an error that either requires a reboot or disk repair. I'm running a brand new iMac, i5. When I run Etrecheck the only errors seem to be with some invalid launch daemons for McAfee. What am I missing and how can I fix this?

Dec 14, 2014, 07:37:58 PM Install Adobe Flash Player_2014-12-14-193758_[redacted].crash
Dec 14, 2014, 07:21:27 PM Self test - passedPlease describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup. -
I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?
Hi Guys
Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP -
I have had my iPad for ten months, I bought it at Walmart and lost the reciete. Today I discovered a dead pixel. I have a one year warranty. Is it possible I can bring it into any retail store and have them repair it?
I dont know. Pj prob knows more than I. Only thing I had fixed was a classic Ipod(@apple) like 8-10 years ago. I wasnt even sure if i got a new ipod or not at the time. It did come back blank so maybe it was new. This whole thing was new to me at the time(I was about 13).
They should be able to do something. Even the warrenty and apple extended care SAYS it even protects against 2 claims of "misuse", say if you dropped it. They SHOULD be able to replace it or fix it no charge under warrenty. Youd think atleast. -
Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently and also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library, which I have done multiple times. I also use Aperture for Photo Stream, and it is especially slow and problematic there. Any ideas? Should I just use iPhoto instead? I'm more familiar with the flow in Aperture and would need to learn how better to use iPhoto, so that would be a last resort for me.
Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion
Aperture 3.5.1 is incompatible with Mt. Lion - you must have had an earlier Aperture version running with Mt. Lion.
also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library
That message is prompted by the crashes. After a crash your library may need repairing.
Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently
Is all your software compatible with Mavericks? Plug-ins, external editors, preference panes, device drivers, video codecs? Did you install any other software, when you upgraded to Mavericks?
Where is your Aperture library? On your system drive or external drive?
Does Aperture also crash, if you launch it while holding down the Shift key? -
The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me
Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.
Regards. -
I have a nook and have been using it for almost 8 months to borrow books from the library. Normally, as soon as I plug in my nook, the nook icon pops up on the desktop and digital editions recognizes the nook. All of sudden the nook icon is missing and If I try to unplug from the computer, it says it was not disconnect properly. Any ideas? Is something hidden or what?

I'm just trying to print my online pay stub
Since my printer isn't working, I'd like to save document to my desktop ("save as" is the only option given to me) and send it as an attachment to a friend's computer and working printer.
What browser are you using?
Are you trying to print or to save the doc? Whether you have a working printer or not is really immaterial. If you're trying to print, then File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF…. If the resulting PDF is small enough (<5MB, though my preference is <1MB), e-mail it to your pal. If it's too big, transfer it using a chat programme or a file service (MediaFire, RapidShare, etc).
Now, I am currently trying to send the document directly (via email, an option given under "file") the pay stub from my employer (who uses ADP online payroll services), to that computer and working printer ....and I'm receiving a window (with apple mail logo on it) that begins with "To view this page, you must log in to this area on agateway.adp.com:443:" and asks for "name" and "password". I've put in both ADP's information, and what I believe (could be very wrong) to be apple mail's information, and either/neither/nothing seems to work!
I don't understand any of this. You need to explain better—or perhaps just post a screen shot (blank any private or confidential info on it prior to posting). -
Macbook Pro Running Slow and have NO Idea Why!
For the last few days, my 10 month old Macbook Pro has been running really slowly. Sometimes, it is perfectly normal. But other times, it just is really slow. Typing will show up a few seconds later, it will take a few seconds to switch tabs in safari/chrome, and it takes a while for an application to open. Anyone have any idea what could be going on?
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
I stupidly tried opening up my iPhone 5s to clean the rear camera a few weeks ago. In doing so I tore one of the cables on the display and it stopped working, as did the home button. I had to take it to a local shop where I was charged £100 for the screen repair and a new home button (I was told that the fingerprint scanner would no longer work).
Long story short, I took the phone back the next day because I couldn't hear anything through the earpiece, but the speaker was working. The guy did something to do my phone and fixed it temporarily, now about 3 weeks later it still isn't working.
I would take it back to the same shop and complain, but I will probably get the same shoddy service. I really regret not taking it to the apple store in the first place as it probably wouldn't have been much more expensive. What are my options?Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any. -

My Mavericks experience so far:
Slower launch and response times (to the point of annoyance) for several applications e.g. Mail, Safari, System Preferences.
Erratic dock behavior (freeze) and appearance (random changes between monitors) when using multiple monitors.
I thought only Microsoft could mess up OS launches... Great job Apple!What font are you using? Does the same thing happen when you use the keyboard directly?
You might try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has Keyboardviewer in its name.
Personally I've never had any problem with Keyboard Viewer like you describe. There is no alternative that I know of. -
This problem has only occured since installing 4.01 today so I don not think my system is at fault
Well, that's pretty made my decision final. I'm ditching firefox for good. The only reason I was willing to use it at all, was because of Ad block. I already tried uninstalling, disabling add ons, like I mentioned previously. The whole proceeding with Firefox safe mode thing sounds like way too much trouble than it's worth. Since I already have Safari Browser, that came with my Macbook, and I need Chrome Browser for using Blogger, I'm uninstalling Firefox and I'll just use those two. Chrome Browser annoys me enough of the time that I don't want to use it as my primary browser. Safari is fairly good though, especially if I only use it occasionally, that means if runs very quickly. Thanks for the advice. It's too bad. When I started using Firefox about 4 years ago, I loved it. Now it drives me absolutely crazy. I'll just start gathering all my passwords that are stored in Firefox and then uninstall it.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hi jtento ,
Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.
OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
Thanks,

I have a macbook pro 13’ (late 2011) 2.8Ghz Intel i7 memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and have upgraded my OS X Lion to Mavericks 10.9.5. Everything has slowed down and the battery lasts a bit earlier. How do I go back to the older OS X Lion? Or should I improve speed differently? Would improving memory to 8GB help?
i have run the EntreCheck and here is the report:
