Netflix not working with Mavericks, just get a black screen.

I just recently installed Mavericks, netflix worked fine before the system upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled silverlight. The plug-in is in my harddrive/library/internet plug-in folder. Safari sees it in the preference pane. I have set the safari preference for silverlight to always allow and to run in unsafe mode. I have unchecked the preference to stop plug ins to save power.
Netflix loads, switches to the playback screen. When I move the mouse I see the play/pause and other associated buttons. It is showing that the movie is loading to my computer, no playback starts.

I recently had the "Plug-In Failure" on Netflix after I got a new 2014 15" Macbook Pro Retina.
My coworker found this fix. The current version of silverlight won't start if the machine is running with the discrete NVIDIA GPU. Some apps need it and using an external monitor will cause it to use the discrete. Turn off all your apps and unplug the external montitor. This should put you back in the integrated Intel GPU. Now try to start a Netflix video, once its running you should be able to plug your external monitor back in and start other apps.
You can also use this utility http://gfx.io to see which GPU is being used.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.

Barry

I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download. In non technical terms please!

How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro? I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time. I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade". So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it? I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download. I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

Films downloaded won't play.I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a 'total recovery' - an important link is missing... anyone any idea what it could be? I have updated iTunes and Quick Player

Films that I have downloaded from iTunes won't play. I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a Total Recovery - Films played perfectly before this. I must have deleted a program or link.............. anyone know what could be missing? I can play YouTube videos etc. but nothing in the iTunes store - films or trailers won't work.

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

Cant play tv shows on ipad after downloading just get a black screen

My first generation ipad will not play tv shows that I have purchased from Itunes. Once they are downloaded on to the ipad I just get a black screen when I try to play them. If I restore the ipad I can SOMETIMES watch them for a short while before it reverts back to a black screen. So Frustrating!!

Hello LBV123,
The next step would be to report the issue to the folks in the iTunes Store, as detailed in the article below.

I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen.

I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen. HELP!!!!!

caddis,
I am getting the EXACT same problem. I started to watch an iTunes purchased TV Show episode back on February of 2014. I stopped after about 15 minutes to come back and watch it later.
Yesterday, I tried to continue the tv show, and NOTHING. All I get is a black screen with no audio. The time bar is advancing, so iTunes thinks it is playing. BUT NOTHING.
Can anyone assist with this problem?
PS: I use my iTunes on my PC only, and have for years without this problem.
PC is fully HDCP compliant.

I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
I hope I helped
thanks

ESATA express card does not work with Mavericks. Any suggestions?

This is an Apiotek II 300 Express Adapter. I went out to Apiotek.com and it appears the domain is for sale. Is there any way to get a software update or do I have to buy a new Express Card that allows eSATA drives to work with Mavericks. I did a backup before I upgraded using X 10.7.5 and everything worked fine. The eSATA drive is not seen using Disk Utility either.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The driver has to come from the manufacturer of the card, so your two options are to get another card or to use your full backup to go back to 10.7.5. That assumes it's a clone backup and not Time Machine.

Photoshop CS4 not working with Maverick?

I downloaded Maverick last night after using Photoshop CS4 all day. This morning when i tried to launch it, i got a message saying i needed to download Java SE 6 runtime. I said ok, it tries to install, but i keep getting the same error "Can not download software due to network error". I called Apple Support and they said if the software worked with Mountian Lion then it will work with Maverick I was told to call Acrobat. I did and they told me it was Apple's issue. After searching online it seems that it is Apple's issue. I tried downloading the SE 7 runtime that didn't work. Not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be apperciated.

Here is the photo :
I use a spyder to correct my display color. It seem to be blocking me from chaning the accelration.
Could that be causing the problem ?

Compressor not working with mavericks

My Compressor is not working with FCP get error code, and will not open, gives message can't use with OSX I have and have Compressor 4.0. Of course, Mavericks was free and now have to spend money to get new version of Compressor. No updates are showing in Apple Store. Anyone have a resolution or am I going to have to buy new Compressor?

If you didn't buy from the App Store, you'll have to find your purchase records and contact Apple to sort it out.

Replced hard drive, now just get a black screen on startup? help please!

Hi all
So today I upgraded my hard drive in my 17" white iMac, i was pretty careful and ive double checked that all wires/connections were reattached but when i start it up i hear the start up tone but the screen just stays blank, tried the PRAM reset and even hooked up an external display and getting nothing at all. I put my installation disk in and can hear the disk being read etc but just getting a blank screen.
Any advice much appreciated
Thanks

Sounds like you didn't reconnect the backlight inverter cable when you reassembled:

If you shine a bright light/sunlight on the screen, can you see faint activity? If not, then it would be the data cable you didn't connect:

Wacom Graphire not working with Mavericks

So I recently picked up an older Wacom Wireless Graphire Pen Tablet (CTE-630BT) and I have not been able to set it up on Mavericks 10.9.2. I have been able to get the express keys to work, but the pen has not been detected.
I have tried installing many of the given legacy drivers on Wacom's U.S. and European sites including:
5.3.3.-3
5.3.3.-2
5.3.0.-3
6.2.0.-w4
6.3.7.-3
and after many attermpts on each of these, and a couple others possibly, (using the Wacom Utility to remove them, reseting my tablet a few times. I am
If there is anyone out there with any insight, I would be quite grateful. Thanks!
edit: Also, the tablet didn't come with a USB Bluetooth receiver, I was just using the internal one on my rMBP.

Well David,
I would not blame Wacom for -not- supporting a low-end-product like this one, and afaik: first introduced 2006.
This is not a product for professional use and as an incidental user I am quite satisfied with the present solution.
Therefore I do congratulate the Apple-community for concocting a solution like this which in fact is an extremely easy one.
Sidenote:
Although I am satisfied with this solution, not all configuration items of the control panel are available, e.g. the tablet buttons.
Still my tablet functions as one would expect, as I like working with my Graphire 4 (CTE-440) together with programs as The Gimp, Inkscape or GraphicConverter.
To end with:
Well, to be clear: it's a workaround, even being a simple one. Have been looking for a solution since my transition to Yosemite. Starting some week ago I would have been contended to allot this one to E-bay or something a-like for 'next to nothing to old songs'. Now I'm happy again.
Greetings,
Erik.
