this is ever since i updated OSX mavericks to the latest version. 10.9.1 i think.
please help or if u are experiencing it too lemme know if theres anything we can do!
i dont want to uninstall and then re-install these apps so that is not an option!
thanks all

If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

HT204291 Since updating to OSX Mavericks, my airplay icon is missing

Since updating to OSX Mavericks my airplay icon is missing from my IMac (3.06GHZ). However, it is present and working completely appropriately on my Macbook Pro with Retina display. Both have the same OSX, Apple TV is fully updated. I have reset my computers, appleTV, routers, iTunes multiple times, but it's just my IMac that is having the problems displaying the Airplay icon. Not sure what else can be done or why one computer works while the other doesn't when the settings are otherwise the same. Airplay worked on it without problem before the patch.

1) open control panel.
2)Choose Network and internet
3)Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
4) Choose the active network connection. It is usually name " wireless Network Connection 1" or something similiar.
5) Click the properties button
6) If the Internet PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK.
7) Click CLOSE
8) Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

When I try to download OSX mavericks in the App Store, it takes forever then the downloading icon just disappears after a loooong time just to get half way

When I try to download osx mavericks, it takes and xtremely long time...like over 2 hours just to get to the half way mark...then the downloading icon on my dock for it just disappears after it has been half way finished.
I am running on a mbp 10.6.8 model macbookpro5,5

I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

Email and Contacts missing in iTunes 11 for OSX Mavericks

I just upgraded my mac to OSX Mavericks. Prior to upgrading I had Mountain Lion. In iTunes, I used to be able to choose which email account I wanted to sync with my iPhone / iPad etc. After upgrading, this option is missing.
According to Apple : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
Apparently I am expected to update this info on my devices using iCloud. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this? Is there some other way I can update my devices ? Most of my email accounts are for work, and I think it may be a violation of my company's security policy, if I am supposed to upload my passwords etc to iCloud.

I found this other link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847?viewlocale=en_US
So if I use a non-icloud email address (eg: work email address, gmail, yahoo etc), that means I need to enter the passwords and settings on each iDevice I own?? Why would they do this? It makes no sense, and is so tedious.

Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

White screen of Death. Reinstalled OSX Maverick but data is missing. HELP!

Help! i had a white screen of death on my iMac. Did a check via disk utility and the hard drive seems to be fine. I have partioned the hard drive into two volumes previously.
However, when I tried to reinstall OSX Maverick on the first partition, where it was originally installed, it was pointed out as being full and I was forced to reinstall it on the second partition. No problem with that.
However, when I start up the iMac, there are no files to be found. And this is really very upsetting to me as they contain memories of my family which I really treasure.
Am I doing anything wrong? When I go in to the set up utility and try to select partition 1, it will still give me the white screen of death and that the disk is full
Kindly advise if there is anyway for me to "force" install it on partiton 1 and regain access to my files.

If you reinstalled onto the second partition and used the same username/password combo for your admin user account, then you can boot into the voluime, open up the original volume, and drag your data from it to the same places on the second volume. To reinstall, you need to remove stuff from the full volume.
The following articles have some good tips:

Airport icon in OSX menubar is showing the connected time

how do i disable this?
it didn't show when i was connected using other wifi access points.

thanks... and the solution is
If you click on the menubar icon, and hover over the network you're connected to, a submenu will pop up, one item of which is the "show time connected" option. It's checked, so just pick it again and the time will disappear

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

IPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.1) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac OSX Mavericks. Frustration Station.

iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.1) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac OSX Mavericks. Have tried all of the recommendations on the apple support site, I am running all current up to date versions of iTunes(11.1.5), Mac OSX(Mavericks), AND iOS 7.1.1 on my iPhone 4 and nothing has worked. Also tried doing some recommendation of deleting some ".plist" files in the preferences as I had seen on this support forum and my iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes at all. I plug my iPhone into my MacBook Pro and it makes the sound like it's connected and charging, but when I go "devices" in iTunes, it is all greyed out. I have had this iPhone since May 2011 and have synced it to this computer numerous times since then, with the last time being before I updated to Mavericks which was sometime in April. Not sure where to go from here, I've tried to delete iTunes and re-install, but when I try to drag the iTunes icon from "applcations", the system tells me I cannot do so as it is required by OSX. So, what gives?

durrrrr. nevermind. re-installed itunes and it looks good for now.

IPhoto (9.5.1) will not open in OSX Mavericks

Grateful for some help. A few months back we had to take our Mac into Apple store because TimeMachine wasn't backing up. They ran loads of diagnostics and said problem was a corrupted OS. We backed up everything and they loaded OS X Mavericks on for us. They then re-loaded everything from our back-up. Everything seemed to work ok except Iphoto which would not open. We called the Apple Support people who talked us through some steps. They couldn't identify the problem but said they could solve it by creating a second iphoto library (2). They did this and whilst it opened ok all of our old folders had disappeared.
However now (few weeks later) iphoto will not open at all. I have tried to access it through the desktop, Applications, finder etc but no joy. I've read through various community conversations and see that there has been problems with OSX and iphoto. I've tried downloading Library Manager Upgrade 1.1. but when I try to run it says my version of iphoto doesn't need it.
Details:
iMac 27" Mid 2011, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 (13C64)
IPhoto V9.5.1
Any help please!

Try this:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).

Illustrator (CS 5.1) crashes after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9)

Illustrator 5.1 crashes while starting the app after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9)
What can I do?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. Never install crapware such as "CleanMyMac" or "Cocktail."
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

The steps to enable Java Webstart in OSX Mavericks are not working.

The steps located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559 are not re-enabling the Java Webstart for Java 6 in OSX Mavericks. I have tried all four steps about 20 times and looked at all the settings in all my browsers (chrome, safari, and firefox) and all say "missing plugin" when I go to any website that requires Java -- in this case, the NY Times Crossword Puzzle's "solve with a friend", which is incompatible with Java 7 so upgrading does not help me. I've tried searching for other answers and all keep directing me to the same four steps that have not worked.
A note, those steps worked when I had the same problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Should something be altered for Mavericks?
Please advise.

You'll possibly need to remove Oracle Java altogether before, see these notes on their WebSite:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
After you remove it, go through the steps to re-enable Apple Java again; and, inside Safari, you can also go to its menu and choose "Reset Safari".
Hope this helps.
