Mavericks - Word for Mac, saving docs problem after installing Mavericks

I have Word for Mac. Since installing Mavericks, when I download a document, I am unable to 'save as' to anywhere but downloads folder. When I select the folder I want save the doc to, 'save' greys out. Help!

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Serious external drive problems after installing Mavericks

OK, so now I am seeing multiple external drive problems. Here is my setup: A GTech 4TB drive connected to MacBook Pro via Firewire, formatted of 2 partitions of 2TB each (called GT1 and GT2). This is then daisy chained to two WD drives of 2TB each, called WD1 and WD2.
After installing Mavericks everything worked fine (in fact I have an amazing speed increase). However, after restarting my machine this morning I have the following issues:
The GTech is now a single partition called MyBook (obviously a hangover from the WD drives. I suspect the WD drive managment software) with NO data files. Interestingly it shows the following USED 1,106,870,272 bytes (1.11 GB on disk). This suggests that one of the partitions has disapeared completely.
Whilst WD 1 launces ok, WD 2 causes the Finder to relaunch whenever selected, meaning I can't get to the files. I remember having this problem before when I upgraded to SL, and it having something to do with hidden files that needed to be deleted via the terminal. However, I have searched the web and can't find the solution again.
Given that WD 1 and 2 are my backups of GT 1 and 2, then I now have a situation where I cannot access my primary or backup files for GT 2. Very impressive - not!
Can anbody remember the hidden file solution for the finder relaunch?
Can anybody help me get back my GT1 and 2 partitions (as they have the latest work on them)?

FIrewire & Thunder bolt drives are having issues with Mavericks, avoid same until a fix is issued if you can.
many are reporting same, there is a firewire fault and TB HD on external HD from LaCie (Seagate) and from WD especially.
Technicians are looking into it.
Until there is resolution, consider setting up a USB ext. Time machine HD.
Until then consider confining Mavericks use with USB HD.
Ive tested a very long line of USB HD on Mavericks, all seem fine.
Recommend anyone DO NOT ATTACH any WD MyBook externals (firewire, thunderbolt or otherwise).
I dont have same to test, so I dont know if the problem is in the firmware on the SATA bridge or if its a problem with the WD software

How do i pause quick time recording ? having problem after installing maverick

i have been having issue with quick time recording . after installing this Maverick i and no longer able to pause the Recording.
nothing happens when i press the option key.
done any one know the fix
Thanks

Ski Farm,
I hope you are doing well today! The suggestion provided by altenbach is really good. Alternatively, you can also use a global variable and an event or case structure, to pause the execution of a VI. I have attached an example of a subVI, called by the mainVI, which displays the current iterative count of a while loop. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

After installing Mavericks my computer is running very slow, After installing Mavericks my computer is running very slow

Two days ago I installed Mavericks to my MacBook Pro. The computer is very, very slow. I did not have that problem before. Also as I change between windows the whole screen is blurred with horizontal lines. Once safari, email or another app opens up it take a few minutes before I can actually use it. The cursor pauses like crazy. Quite frustrating. I checked the captibality before downloading and it met all the requirements. Help please!!

How to revert OS X back from Mavericks

ICloud problems after installing Maverick

I installed OS X last night and ever since I haven't been able to log on to iCloud through system preferences. When I first when to iCloud through SP I noticed it was using my old Apple ID so I logged out and tried to sign again, that's when the problem started. Please help!
Exact message is "you can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again"

Exactly the same problem and more!!!!!
...and this is after the Mail and ibooks update.
(1)
>Mail >Preferences >Accounts > >"iCloud" button >Continue >Enter Apple ID and Password >Sign In AND
I'm bounced back to
>Mail >Preferences >Accounts where nothing has changed.
OR
(2)
>Mail >Accounts >"ICloud" >Enter Apple ID and Password >Sign In AND
I get "Already signed is as myname.me.com and This iClound account already exits."
>OK AND I'm back to
>Mail >Accounts where nothing has changed.
(3) When the icloud account is showing as being inactive I click on the iclound account and it opens the box that is supposed to show what the account uses: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Messages, and other apps.
All it shows is my Apple ID and my Apple ID and mail address, but nothing else.
(4)
So, I delete
>Mail >Accounts >"icloud" interent account then the
> to add a new internet account.
I click on "iCloud" and enter my "name.me.com" and Password then
>Sign in" and I get
"You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again."
When I try to sign in again I get the same message.
(5)
My Contacts were not syncing with iCloud or showing any files stored on icloud.
BUT, I fixed this by deleting all the files in
>"User" >Library >Application Support >Addressbook...
and then copied over the Time Machine backup files from the same folder (from before the Mavericks download).
This worked to sync with iCloud and get back my contacts stored on iCloud.
(6)
My Calendar is also not syncing with iCloud or showing information stored on iCloud.
I tried (5) above as for Contacts, but Calendar files in
>"User" >Library >Calendars...
No luck here.

Pages problems after installing Mavericks OS

After in upgrading to Mavericks OS, I am having issues with Pages application. I can successfully insert a hyperlink in a document, however when I insert a url that includes a pdf it occasionally will not take or accept it. Two urls can be almost identical but for some reason one consistently is rejected. Has anyone had a similar issue, or know how to resolve? I thought that maybe the conflict is the inclusion of the character "®" in the URL, but both urls include it.
For example, this link can be inserted successfully:
http://www.heatsavershades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Weather_HeatSaver%C2%A E_Testing_Data_02_06_to_02_20_14.pdf
This does not:
http://www.heatsavershades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Weather_HeatSaver%C2%A E_Testing_Data_03_09_to_03_22_14.pdf
I did notice that "HeatSaver®" became "HeatSaver%C2%AE" when I pasted the urls above, but the first one works nevertheless, and you can see it is almost identical except for sequence of dates at ends of urls.
Anyone have a clue?
Thank you!

Use Tinyurl for messed up URLs. Odd characters like these can also mess up e-mail programs. http://www.tinyurl.com/
I suggest the author of the said website stick to known URL conventions, and doesn't use special characters in their file naming.

Bridge for mac - Very slow connect after installing sd card

Hey guys,
after I installed a 32gb SD card, the connection-procedure is really slow. The green bar fills in not 10sec but in 2 minutes now. What happened? Really the SD card? What can I do?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I had to move the XperiaTransfer-Folder to my SD-card. Now, after I moved it, the date of 70% of the photos is the current date and nearly 900 images are dated for today. It's quite hard to navigate through the images now. How does the Sony Gallery app gather information? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks

Preview app and retina display problem after installing Maverick

Hi everyone, i upgraded to Maverick yesterday and i now have a problem with the software "Preview 7.0". I've got a macbook pro 13" retina.
Before Maverick i could visualise image in high resolution using Preview, and the 100% view was showing the image full quality. Now my Preview software acts like i'm not on retina and i can only visualise my images with the resolution of a standard monitor.
Does it make sense ? Please help !!!

I'm having the same issue with Preview not displaying images at the correct resolution. If you also look at the info in Preview, there are metadata issues showing up. Under "Creator's Contact Info" this is the info displayed.
Creator's Contact Info: , CiAdrCtry, CiAdrExtadr, CiTelWork, CiUrlWork, CiAdrPcode, CiAdrRegion, CiAdrCity, CiEmailWork
Something is broken with the program.

My mac does not start after installing maverick

I had perfect macbook pro until I upgraded to Maverick. Screen says installing with big X in the middle and Barber type ribbon moving over two hours.

i did the same then my monitor shows only lines. i tried to restart several times but same display shows.

My macbook is extremely SLOW after installing MAVERICK!, My laptop is extremely SLOW after installing MAVERICK!

anyone else have the same problem? and if so, what is being done about it??

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. For Snow Leopard, start your Mac while holding the c key with its original OS X Install DVD inserted in its optical drive. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
Some users have reported an SMC reset to be beneficial. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.
