Missing Camera Since Upgrading to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I no longer have a camera; not in FaceTime, Photo Booth, nor when video calling on Facebook.
This morning while video calling on Facebook, I could see the person I called for about 30 seconds. She then dsappeared and I could only see me, even though I could talk with her.
How can I get my camera back?

If you could see an image of yourself on the screen, then the camera was working! Sounds more like you lost the video connection to your friend -- as if HER camera wasn't working!!
You can tell when the camera is on, as a green light is next to the lens.
Some video apps have preferences where you have to specify what the video input source is. In PhotoBooth, it's the "Camera" menu.
It's possible that the camera is faulty, but I suspect its software.

My Mac Mini no longer "sees" my digital camera since upgrading to Maverick. I have a Samsung DV300F connected via USB. I have tried to work around the connection by having the camera join the wireless network I can connect to, but I still cannot "see" it.

Any suggestions?

Try unplugging the camera, turn it off and on again, plug it back in, and open the Image Capture application.
If it doesn't appear in the sidebar, try opening iPhoto, and then iMovie.
If none of them show it, you might need to reinstall the drivers for the camera.

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

iPhoto Version 9.5.1
Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.

Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera. iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode. Help!

I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected. At least that happens with my camera. Good luck.

Macbook pro running painfully slowly since upgrade to Mavericks and worse since Yosemite

Hi, since upgrading to Mavericks my previously excellent 2011 Macbook Pro is running painfully slowly, and things have only got worse since the upgrade to Yosemite. It takes anything up to 10 minutes to get fully functional from opening the lid on standby, can take a good 5 minutes to connect to wifi, and I am getting stuck with constant spinning beach balls. I've cleaned things up, and deleted anything unnecessary so I have adequate space on the HDD but this doesn't seem to make any difference, and I'm not running any particularly memory hungry software. It was working perfectly before these upgrades and I'm really wishing I could just downgrade back to Mountain Lion now! I'm no expert so could really use some help. Do I just need more RAM or is this something more complicated?
I've run Etresoft and here are the results (I note there is some adware listed on Safari, but I don't use it ,using Chrome and Firefox instead):

Messages App| connectivity issues since upgrading to Mavericks

is anyone having problems since upgrading to Mavericks with connectivity issues in the "Messages" app? Im on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I will start a desktop share session with my folks (IMAC) and within 2-3 minutes of having access to their desktop, I'm unable to control any longer and their system freezes.

HI,
When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).

My video call icon on facebook chat has disappeared since upgrading to mavericks, any ideas anyone?

Since upgrading to Mavericks about a month ago, my video chat icon has disappeared from Facebook chat - I can't think of any other reason for this problem other than the upgrade to Mavericks. Any ideas anyone?

I'm also dealing with some slowness since moving to Mavericks — but mainly with regard to long lag times with the Finder when I go to rename files, move files, or delete files.
Could it be any of the following? (which came up red)

TS3977 Issue with extended display using Displaylink USB to DVI since upgrading to Mavericks.

I have an issue now since upgrading to Mavericks with my extended display monitor using a displaylink DVI to USB adapter. After awhile, the monitor goes blank. I can unplug the connection from the USB port and plug it back in and the display comes back, only to go out again a short time later.
It worked fine for months prior to the upgrade.
Apple say it's Dispalylink's problem and Displaylink says it's Apple's problem. Anyone else having this or a similar isssue?

Someone opened a bug report with Apple in another thread - about a different product that used DisplayLink drivers, and Apple blamed the vendor.
I have many issues too. Crashing Window Manager, and once it crashed my Mac.
I also have many issues... one is corrupt display. The icons are missing in the menubar on my laptop, and squished together on my external monitor:
They are there if I mouse over, but invisible.
I can't click on the squished ones, they are to close.

How are you connecting the camera to your Mac? Do you use software supplied by the camera manufacturer to do it, and if so, has that software been updated to work with Mavericks?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, some spelling errors are no longer corrected

I almost always transpose the word "the" to hte and teh when I type. Spell checker in Pages picks it up and corrects it but not in Mail, only since upgrading to Mavericks a couple weeks ago. I went in to my Library folder and found a Custom dictionary, an "en" dictionary, and a LocalDictionary, all text files with words that I had added over the years. I thought if Mail's spell checker wasn't finding hte and teh, that I must have somehow added them to one of the dictionaries. But neither word appeared any of the three dictionaries. If it did, I would have deleted them. Is there another dictionary in Mavericks that I am missing?
This seems odd since it started only after upgrading to Mavericks. And I have both misspellings included in "Correct spelling automatically" in Language & Region Preferences > Keyboard Preferences > Text > Replace __ With __. I even tried to remove them and then add them back in but it made no difference.

Hello. I too have a Mail spelling issue since Mavericks. My mail has never made any automatic corrections - only suggestions - and I am not sure how to get that going. Anyhow, these days when the speller doesn't recognise a word and I go in and add an accent to that word (alt+e+e), it infuriatingly sends the message immediately without continuing the spellceheck. Any ideas gratefully received.

SInce upgrading to mavericks computer is so slow now.

SInce upgrading to mavericks computer is so slow now. Freezes more than it opens applications. Should I upgrade ram form 2gb to 4gb? Would that help? Wish I had left it using snow leopard at this point.

Many thanks Pete. Would upgrading to 4GB be enough?
Below is the etrecheck report.
Thanks again

Since upgrading to Mavericks entered calendar settings will not stay applied. Help Please!

Since upgrading to Mavericks my entered calendar settings (alerts specifically) will not stay applied. I am using the calendar that came installed on my MacBook Pro w/retina display. This is an important issue for me. I need my calendar and scheduled reminders. I can enter an appointment which stays in place but when I enter an additional reminders and click the "apply" button the reminders I entered simply disappear. The appointment stays but the reminders do not.
Thank you!
Steve

Thx for the star, but Barney-15E is more helpful to you.
Show him some love too
When you repair the permissions also repair the 'user permissions' too…

The paragraph below the image explains how to do it in 10.7, Mavericks is similar. Don't fear the Terminal, it's just a shortcut to the reset tool that Apple hid.

Mail not receiving emails since upgrading to Maverick

I have been having nothing but issues using the Mail program since upgrading to Maverick earlier this year. I can't get my incoming emails to sync normally (I have multiple different accounts set up from different servers), sometimes they come in with no issues and other times they don't show up for hours or after I manually restart the program/computer. I know there is a huge delay because they come in on my phone and iPad without any issues. This is a huge problem for me since I use Mail for all my work emails and I can't log into all the different web applications easily. Can anyone give me any suggestions?? I've tried taking the accounts offline and then resyncing them and sometimes it works but lately it isn't doing the trick either. Here is my mail version I'm using : Version 7.3 (1878.6) and I'm in OSX 10.9.5 I haven't upgraded Yosemite because my last upgrade to Maverick was such a headache... Please help!!!

Hey there lasmith4,

Can't access Time Machine files since upgrading to Mavericks

I have searched the community and found that people have experienced issues backing up to Time Machine since upgrading to Mavericks, but my problem appears slightly different from the ones I've found. I can see that my Time Machine is actually backing up since the upgrade as it was before the upgrade. The issue I'm having is that I can't access the backed-up files in any way.
When I try to open time machine it launches the "space view" with all of the historical tabs lined up for me to scroll through, but imediately closes that window and gives the error message: "Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup disc". It's so weird, because it says that there have been backups completed since the upgrade (most recently this morning). If it wasn't writing to the disc, it would have showed me an error of some sort.
What I am, specifically, trying to accomplish is that I need to restore some iTunes playlists that I somehow managed to delete this past weekend. I figured that I would easily be able to access the library file that contains the playlists from Saturday morning, when I KNOW that playlist was still there, and just restore it. Now that I am seeing that I can't access any of my time machine files, I'm realizing that I have an even bigger problem, and that all of my files are, essentially, going without backup at this time (assuming I can't access the files that have already been backing up).
If anyone has some insight as to how I can fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi John, (The above was for your attention) I'm 72 and must've hit the wrong button!!!
I followed your instructions to the letter, but sadly, no success...all my backups are showing on the TM external HD, but I cannot access them after instsalling 'Mavericks'
I spent the entire day on and off the phone with Applecare (they are very nice, and I'm sure they know most of the stuff needed; but not this problem. They are phoning back tomorrow as the senior chap was not available.
I love my apple products, and like you, have been using their gear for well over 25 years...not studying the things, but using them all the way through.
My present Mac, a 24" iMac is nearly 7 years old, bought on December 11th 2007, and this is the first time I have had a significant problem, and never a virus..got bless em!. I bet there are not many Windows users around who can say the same!
However, if I cannot access my backups, I'm a bit lost, as all my accumulated stuff is there!
I guess the worst case scenario is that I revert to OS X 10.7.5, and wait 'til the bugs are ironed out in Mavericks....Ho Hum

Cannot Access Disks on Time Capsule Since Upgrading to Mavericks

Hey folks...
So I've had this set up for several years, and it's worked out well. I have a time capsule with an external (self-powered) harddrive connected to it via USB. I usually access it via ethernet as the connection is more speedy than wifi, and my laptop generally remains stationary. For what it's worth, I'm using a Macbook Pro (mid-2010), with the original time capsule (500gb) as well as a connected Western Digital (1tb) external harddrive.
Since upgrading to Mavericks, however, I have not been able to consistently access the remote disks, either by wifi or ethernet connection. The time capsule shows up under my "shared" section of the finder window, but the drives (which are usually visible and accessible from within the time capsule) are not there. Strange enough, when I go into my Airport Utility for Time Capsule preferences, the disks are visible under the "disks" section.
The time capsules' firmware is up to date, as well as the laptop's. I have tried reseting the time capsule as well as my computer in addition to simply unplugging/plugging it back in. I was able to access the disks on a fluke once in the last few days, but after moving the computer away from it's standard spot, the disks are once again no longer accessible.
I had Server 2.0 but am unable to use it since upgrading the OS and haven't purchased Server 3.0. Any suggestions for solutions? Could residule configurations having to do with the Server functionality be affecting it? I'm guessing it is something to do with Mavericks. Thanks for any help or feedback.

I don't have a guaranteed solution to your problem, just some suggestions:
1) Try powering down the Time Capsule for at least 15 minutes, then plug it in again and see if it works better.
2) If you suspect that heat might be a problem, try raising the Time Capsule to give better air flow below it. I have mine on an inverted plastic-coated-wire basket of the type used to organize kitchen drawers.
3) If AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule, you should be able to use the "archive" function (in the Disks panel, Disks tab) to write the disk's contents to a drive connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
4) In the worst case, you should be able to access the files on the Time Capsule's disk by opening up the Time Capsule, removing the disk drive, mounting the drive in an external enclosure, and attaching the enclosure to your Mac.
