My mac just upgraded mavericks to 10.9.5 without me asking it to!!!

I Don't know what happened . I was working away in Numbers listening to iTunes.
Ocassionally this alert would pop out from software update in the top right corner offering to
upgrade now or later. I might have clicked this by mistake max once only. Suddenly my
mac is shutting down and 10.9.5 is being installed against my wishes.
how the **** can that happen!!
surely there must be some kind of - are you sure you want to upgrade your system - dialogue?
Surely!
I Feel furious!

I just upgraded to 9.1.4, and am being asked for the serial number from my packaging, which unfortunately is 1000 miles away at the moment. Any way I can get it from Apple or something? Thanks.

Just upgraded to 9.1.4, now being asked for a serial number from my packaging, which is 1000 miles away at the moment. Any way out of this? Thanks.

Add me to the list. This is a nuisance.
Fortunately, if i click on cancel, Logic will start the next time i run it without asking me. (But it asks again the third time i run it, and so forth - really strange!)
Please report this bug to Apple! http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html

On a Mac, Just upgraded from Lightroom 4, to 5. Problems with Catalog transfer.

So I did the upgrade version of Lightroom 5 from 4. I did the catalog transfer to move all of my images over from lightroom 4 to 5. But now when I click on any of my old images (from a lightroom 4 catalog) in lightroom 5, I get an error message that says Lighroom has a problem reading the images. Last night I tried to export from lightroom 5 to my desktop and it did not work with the same error message coming up. Help!!! What am I (did I) doing wrong?

-Once I put the disc in I followed the procedures to upload LR5. This was successful. The first time I opened LR5 I was prompted to transfer my old LR4 catalogs to LR5 which I did.
-Now when I click on any image, once I click away, in the lower scroll bar of images an exclamation mark in a small circle. When you click on the exclamation mark this message appears "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo." This happens to every image I click on.

Just upgraded my iPad Mini to iOS7. Asking for a passcode

I've never given my iPad Mini a passcode.
I've just upgraded it to iOS7. The process never asked me for a passcode, either. Then, when I started it up after the upgrade, the first thing it asked for was a passcode.
I tried the usual "default" type codes, like 1111 and 0000 but it has now locked me out and says the device is "disabled".
Any ideas, please? How can I get this thing working again, and avoid the same happening again?
Thanks.
Tom

OK, success.
Used recovery mode and restored from the backup created as part of the iOS7 upgrade. This time, when the iPad started, it asked me things like whether I wanted Location Services on, and THEN said that if I wanted to use "Find my iPad" I'd need a passcode. On the previous start up, all these introductory steps were missing and the iPad went straight to asking me for a (non-existent) passcode. This is clearly an example of the installation bug mentioned in the Australian news item I posted above.
Anyhow, I now seem to be running, with no loss of data, just a fraught hour of my time.

You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.

I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore. Please help, thank you.

Dear Sirs,
I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
Please help, thank you.

Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.
Cant help with the Outlook problem.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round. I don't recommend you upgrading. How do I get rid of it. I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!

It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
Try restting PRAM

Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power.

Just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 Mavericks. Just scanned files in Samsung Printer/scanner - where do scanned files go in my Mac? In old OS scans went to Library, then Pictures - not there now. Thank you.

Just upgraded to OS 10.9.3 from OS 10.6.8. Have 21.5" iMac Mid 2011; Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3; Storage capacity 499.25 GB; available 379.71 GB.
In the old OS 10.6.8 scans went to "Pictures" in Library. I can't find my scans anywhere.
My question is: Where do scanned documents get saved in Mavericks? I have Samsung Printer model SCX-4623F.

They should be in Pictures in your User's folder, but they could be on the Desktop.
Have you turned on Show Path bar and Show Status Bar for a Finder window? It's under View in the Menu bar. Turn these on.
Select the All My Files view in a Finder window.
Under Arrange, select Date Added.
Find a recent scanned item.
Click on item. You'll see the location in the path bar. For example:

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
Do one of the following:
USB
Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Wireless
Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
Ethernet
Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
Do one of the following:
If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ.

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.

Updated iPad to ios7, now it says if I open spreadsheet in Numbers I won't be able to sync to Mac until upgrade to Mavericks

Updated iPad mini to iOS 7.
I had purchased Pages & Keynote & then later purchased Numbers also on the iPad so I could keep a file synced w my Mac, now that I'm doing more & more on the iPad mini so not using the Mac all the time.
I was dismayed to get a message when I tried to open a contact file that I use to keep track of biz prospects that said if I opened it, I would Jo longer be able to keep it synced w the version on the Mac until I updated to Maverick. This caught me totally by suprise. If I had had even a hint that ths would happen, I would have held off updating to iOS 7 on the iPad mini. (Which I'm typing on now)
Is there any way around this? I do use Time Machine to keep my Mac backed up regularly.
Have the bugs been worked out of Mavericks?
I've read that the iWork's apps & maybe some others have been dumbed down to make the sync work so some features are lost.
Does most apps work fine w Mavericks? I guess I should check to make sure that Parallels 8 works w it. Don't use it much any more, but do have Windows 7 as a virtual machine. I'd like to retain that w out having to pay to upgrade as I just upgraded not that long ago.
Also do the apps work ok & sync well if using iOS 7 on iPad & Mavericks on MacBookPro (mid 2012 model--although purchased May 2013).
Back in May, I also moved to Portland, OR not realizing there is only 1 Apple store inconveniently located downtown. It also doesn't seem to have as full offering of classes as the store in Tigard which are further away. Before moving, I had 2 Apple stores w in. 10-15 min drive. & I used zone to One for 3 years. I purchased it again just before my move after spilling water on my old MacBookPro & ending up buying a new one. But haven't even activated it yet. But thinking of looking into ging to an apple store to get help.

OK, I decided to upgrade to Mavericks. 1st I checked to see if Parallels 8 woudl work w it. It said yes, but upgrade parallels 8 1st so I did that (& then realized I should update virus def & run Windows updates also. Don't use it very much 180 days ago it said).
Then saw some reports of mail not working so well so decided to clean out a lot of un-needed emails on my Mac. Also ran updates to Mountain Lion.
Then closed everything & shut down. Left it off for a few min to clear out any left over electronic garbage & rebooted. Opened App store & clicked the Mavericks free download. Almost immediated it gave me error message & suggested doing it from the Purchased section.
Ok, I tried downloading it there. 2-3 times got same almost immediate error message.
Then, I think it was after disconnecting external HD & printer I tried again & it was looking good w download. It was fluctuating between 40-45 min time remaining & showing almost 500 mb downloaded when I got the error message again.
btw, I also got an error message when running Windows update. There was an unknown error code when I tried updating Service Pack 1 (which it showed I needed, although I'm thinking that is kind of strange since I've had Windows 7 on a MacBookPro since shortly after I bought the original MacBookPro in April 2010. (Spilled water on it last May & Apple store said it would need expensive repair so bought this replacement that they used my Time Machine backups to install everything on. This was right as I was getting ready to move & I haven't yet found the old one to see if maybe it would work. It should be in one of my boxes).
So, if it is having this much trouble just getting it installed I'm kind of afraid to go ahead. Wondering why some report it works fine & a lot of others saying no.
I very frustrated since I just want to be able to have the functionality I had to be able to sync Numbers between my iPad & my Mac.

Can I install Windows 8 on an older Mac Pro with Mavericks upgrade?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro which I just upgraded to Mavericks, which came with Boot Camp 5.1. Can I install Windows 8 on my machine? The information on this site suggests I can only use Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4 on my system, but does this take an upgraded OS into account? Put another way, is the version compatibility determined only by my OS, or also by my hardware (processor, memory, etc.). This is the first time I will be using Boot Camp to install Windows on this machine.

no, it is determined mainly by machine type then by requisite driver support in the OSX
officially, x64 w7 is as far as you can go but google around, i'm sure there have been people who got w8 to work

Just upgraded to Mavericks and now Safari won't load pages

Hi, I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 yesterday. Prior to downloading the new operating system Safari was working perfectly.
After I finished downloading Mavericks I tried to open Safari but I have kept seeing a message, either the page was not responding or "Safari cannot connect to the server."
My computer says that my Wifi is working, but still I cannot access any webpages. I can only access them through my ethernet connection.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
