My Dock icons looks garbled after upgrading to OS X Maverick.

My Dock icons looks garbled after upgrading to OS X Maverick.Not all but most of them look like scattered dots instead of the icons, tried restarting multiple times still no use.
I installed OS X Maverick last week and for a week it looked fine. I have restarted the OS for copule of times after upgrade. Now the Icons in the dock seem to be garbled.

The dock preferences may be corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash
Restart your Mac.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops working

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops backing up and sometimes hangs on ,,preparing,, for o days and sometimes stops inmediatly. Report says:
Backing up to /dev/disk1s2: /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array'

Is this a Firewire or Thunderbolt connected disk? There are know issues with that in Mavericks. If so try connecting the drive by USB as you continue.
Is it a WD drive? There appear to be issues with those drive on Mavericks.

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
Problem solved - for me anyway!!
Hope this helps.

Okidata printer errors after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

Immediately after upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I try to print with my Okidata C330DN color laser printer will NOT print in color.
I get this message:
"The Print Dialog Extension could not be loaded because it has not been updated to run in this application's secure environment".
I contacted Okidata, who said "give us a week" to update the driver. Well, they updated their driver, I just installed it, and get THE SAME ERROR...

This is because of sandboxing, and Okidata will need to release another driver that handles these permissions issues. You can try printing from a non-sandboxed application like Safari, if that helps.

Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5

Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5.
I tried it with a differnt Iphone and the results are the same. Any suggestions?

Hi JZN1994,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

A Bouncing Safari Icon - at startup (after upgrade fron 1.2)

A bouncing Safari icon with a spinning pinwheel at startup (after upgrade fron 1.2) and finding that safari just will not open - then forced to reboot bact into 1.2 - I wouldf like to find out what 1.3 is all about. by the way I.m also have issues with a "localized string not found" issue.
Any one have any ideas?

Have you looked at the locked thread at the top of the Safari help list? This I think should help you with the localised string issue you are having. Or if you are lazy....

Airplay icon is gone after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi there.
I have a Macbrook Pro 13" - Late 2011 and an Apple TV 3.
After I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, the Airplay icon does not appear in the menu bar.
I have enabled the option "Show mirroring options..." in Displays Preferences.
Airplay works if I just choose Apple TV from Airplay Display menu in the same preferences window.
Any help?
Thanks.

This solved my problem
1. Open 'Terminal';
2. Copy this text (without comas): '' mv ~/L*/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ~/Desktop ";
3. Press Enter; (Screen will flash and icons, dock & finder will disappear for some seconds! In the end, everything will appear on screen!
4. Restar computer;
5. Immediately after turning it on, press AT THE SAME TIME: Command + ALT + P+ R
6. The screen will flash & you'll hear the booting sound again! Then you can let go teh keyboard.

JMenuItem and JTextField doesn't look right after upgrading to Java 8

I just upgraded to JDK 8u25
I have a legacy Swing application, which makes use of JMenuItem and JTextField
I realize, after upgrading, there is a bolder grey vertical border at the left side of JMenuItem and JTextField
JMenuItem
JTextField
This only happen, if I were using look n feel com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel

The site looks OK -- actually quite impressive for what appears to be a from-scratch design.
In Opera 10 under Snow Leopard 10.6.1, the design doesn't start to explode until the horizontally scrolling marquee comes across. I would strongly recommend just removing that marquee; it is an extremely outdated element of web design. If you do that, the design shouldn't blow up on you in other browsers.

Touch Screen not responding for setting icon in iPhone5s after upgrade to iOS 8.

After upgrade to iOS8 in IPhone 5s, the touch screen is not working for settings icon. The settings will be opened on the screen, but unfortunately I can;t use any of the operations available on the setting window. Once I pressed the home menu button or power button and re-open the settings, it works.

Your observation is right. I am facing the same issue after upgrading to iOS 8.3. The trial and error was common with Microsoft .. it seems Apple is catching up with MS .
I hope they address this issue quickly.

Corrupt windows after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks and have noticed that my windows have corrupt areas around the border of them. Also, if I hover over an icon on the lower bar, it pops up a white blob instead of the actual text. This seems to be occuring when I start my laptop from sleep mode. If I resize the window or maximize the window it still has the corrupt areas around the window. Anyone else seeing this same problem?

Take a representative screenshot of the anomaly and post it in a reply.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

My iMac will not play certain DVDs after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

I bought my iMac about 2 years ago, it worked fine, no problems until a few months ago, i upgraded to OS X Mavericks because it came up on app store updates and it was free so i upgraded. Ever since then it is very picky about which DVDs it plays, some it accepts straight away with no hassle, others it tries to read for a while until eventually ejecting. I have looked in other discussions but there isn't a solution that i've read that works. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking. It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

IMac is slow after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading my iMac to OS X Mavericks I've noticed the performance has slowed down a lot. I've been copying my CD collection before the upgrade while doing other tasks such as searching for album artwork online...now it can barely handle just copying the cd.

Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
