New Maverick update :( Help

Hi, Upgraded to the new Mavericks on my macbook pro 2010. The applications don't work any longer i.e calender,contacts,messages,app store. Also itunes doens't recognize my iphone when connected. Help pls.

Apple changed the behavior of the Power button in 10.9 Mavericks.
Press the button once, and it puts your display to sleep. Press and hold it for a second or two, and the Shutdown / Restart / Sleep dialog appears. Press and hold it for even longer, and your Mac gets completely powered off.

You can restore the device as new from any computer, it doesn't have to be yours. If you have your device backed up via iCloud, then you can restore to that backup. I'm not sure what Vodafone would do, but I can tell you they cannot backup your phone if that is what you are asking, since the phone is in recovery mode. You can just as easily make an appointment at the Apple store to ask them to help if you cannot get access to a computer.

Sound not working after 10.9.4 Mavericks Update - HELP!

My sound does not seem to be working following the latest update to Mavericks (10.9.4). I am running a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro. Sound does not work with speakers, headphones or built-in sounds. Before anyone asks, no its not on mute, I have checked the Audio Midi setup and Sound settings and everything is as they were prior to the update, so the sound should still be working.
I have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, no luck yet. Also tried re-installing the update but did not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

So I had the same problem; Actually other problems occurred after upgrade 10.9.2 (Thunderbolt related issues) and now after upgrading to 10.9.4 my internal sound disappeared.
The solutions described above made it worse; Sorry sykosoft .. but your solutions is even dangerous ;
I spend almost a Day finding out how to restore my internal audio devices ..
So what I discovered, this is a software issue;
Update on update on update without any clean install resulted in some filty .plist files
com.apple.audio.DevicesSettings.plist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
looking in those files I discovered some settings pointing towards RabbitEars .. perhaps I tried it once in a previous life but now I do believe the upgrade took by incident the wrong 'device' as standard ..
So I looked up and the only thing I could do was finding .kext and other related stuff .. only able to remove it commando wise = terminal
after rebooting for the 722th time performing a SMC and PRAM for the 666th time the result was ... NO STANDARD devices detected
THe only solution working is :
A recovery install;
https://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
In my case I encountered a problem; My recovery failed (reboot press and hold CMD+R, selecting install fresh OS X)
I find out it was due to my FileVault encrypted HD; So first I uncrypted (switched off FileVault) my HD, and even created a USB recovery disk (not needed)
Tadaaaa 45 minutes later all problems solved, without loosing data or reinstalling all programs ..
*feeling relieved* I thought sharing my pain and solution would save you hours finding out how to repair, hoping PRAM and SMC reset would solve it ..

New Maverick update, nothing is working

I recently updated my computer from Lion to Maverick and after that update, many of my apps will not open (including the App store) and many of the programs that I run will crash. The apps will blink and pretend like its opening, but it wont open. I don't know exactly what to do in this case. Has anyone occured this problem? What should I do?

If Eric's "reinstall over the top of your current install" doesn't fix your problems and you can't or don't want to debug what exactly is giving you problems. Then your next best option is a clean install. I've looked and there isn't a user tip for this but I think there should be (hint to those with enough points to write one). I have fixed serveral Mac's this way. It involves several hours of work but is very effective in giving you back the mac you love.
Basic steps
1) Make a clone of your current system (I like carbon copy cloner but there are others)
2) Boot from a mavericks usb or from a mavericks recovery partition, erase Macintosh HD and then reinstall
3) Sign in with your cloud and let the mac finish setting itself up, MIGRATE NOTHING
4) Now copy the contents of your Document, Music, Movies, Pictures, Downloads from the clone to the respective locations on your fresh install
5) Reinstall your applications (only what you really need)
What you now have is a factory fresh installation of Mavericks, newly installed applications, and all or least most of your data. This will cause you to redownload your mailbox from the servers which, depending on how many emails you have, could take time. If you have locally stored mail you won't see it until you find those mailboxes on the clone and import them. Customizations to your dock, input devices and such will need to be setup again....I did say it was several hours of work . The cloud has made this much much easier than it once was.
Good luck.

New spotify update HELP

Okay so today my spotify downloaded the new update (with the different green colour and side bar) and i gotta say, i dont, like it. I'm not only speaking for myself but for the thousands of people that have the same problem as i do.On spotify there's a side bar, that shows your friends and the songs they are listening to at the moment, right? When i scroll my mouse over my friend's icons, the side bar increases and shows the songs they are listening to. So i was just wondering if theres a setting where the friend's sidebar is always open like this:I love spotify so much but this keeps opening and closing when my mouse scrolls over.Please is there a setting where i can leave it always open instead of this?: thank you

Which update for which App?
Do you have a backup?
If the upgrade was for ispadez.app, then you'll likely have to ask on FB or wherever it's played.

OS X Mavericks updating help

Hello, here is my question.I want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks and because will it take 8 hours, can I pause it and shut down the imac and continue downloading it on the other day?? Help please. I'm not allowed to use my imac in a whole day.

Not sure about the details in your question, but if you connect via Ethernet
cable and not Wi-Fi, the speed of data flow would be faster and less likely
to drop-off, than Wi-Fi, over the long durations large files take to download.
If there is an Apple Store in your vicinity, with a Genius bar or a product
specialist who knows iMac, and Mavericks, ask if there is a way you can
get a download elsewhere using your Apple ID, save the download on
say a USB flash drive, then use it with your iMac.
While there are persons here in ASC discussions who likely would know
this answer (or where to ask it, or maybe methods if they were to try it)
the idea has a few unknowns which may add up conditionally against it.
Usually interrupted downloads fail. And longer duration wi-fi connections
fail or need only lag a little while for the files to be useless. So the best
bet would be to forgo wi-fi, use Ethernet settings in System Preference
Network, to use a cable from your router to the computer.
Sorry to not be of much help. If I were faced with a Mavericks upgrade,
I'd do a dogpile of reading or hire a cool cat to figure it out. But with my
antique G4 mini or iBook G4, or first-edition MacBook, I don't need to.
Some older intel-based Macs don't like Mavericks; & need more RAM.
So neither dog nor cat gets put to work due to an upgrade issue.
Good luck & happy computing!

Problems after installing new security update-help?

Hi, how can I verify what I recently downloaded on my mac. I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine. I have doubts as my machine runs like **** now. Apps take forever to open, screensaver comes on when its set to never, printer won't work, etc. Also, if it was just a bad download, can I just try loading it again over the last one? First, I'd love to see what i downloaded. Thanks. In a bind. Never had this happen before. Running 10.3.9
m

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

Since the Maverick update I am unable to save any work that I do in CS6 software programmes on my mac

With the new update I am unable to save my work that I have done when using the CS6 software, this is a real problem as I need to be able to save any changes I do. I also can't search files on my USB when I go to file-open while in Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign. Please help as this is a real issue and has only been happening since the new Maverick update.
Thanks, Julia.

Being that Adobe stopped supporting CS6 a while ago, that is likely not going to happen. They're trying to force everyone to use CC, which I heard is having troubles since Marvericks as well. At least they will get a free Adobe update.
This is incorrect information. Adobe has issued updates for several CS6 products since CC came out, consistent with their official statements that they will continue to support CS6, which they still sell new (though the links are hard to find on their store).
Photoshop released a 13.0.6 update for CS6 on Nov. 7, it would be a good idea to make sure you have gotten the latest version even though a save problem is not mentioned in the release notes. Maybe it'll help anyway.

IPhoto won't install update and won't allow me to access my photos since I installed the Maverick update

MacBook Pro won't restart after Mavericks update

I recently installed the new Mavericks update on my MacBook Pro and after downloading Pages, Keynote etc. I had to restart. When I try to restart however, the Apple logo appears with the progress bar but as soon as the bar is full it switches off.

Hello SerenAlyx
Check out the articles below to go over troubleshooting the issue of the grey bar when you are starting up your Mac. It will go over starting up in Safe mode as well as booting to your Recovery Disk to maybe reinstall OS X Mavericks.

Why didn't Numbers download with Maverick update? It says I have to pay $20 for it? I thought it was free? What did I do wrong?

Numbers didnt download with my new maverick update. To my understanding, its supposed to be free? Is this correct? Now its saying I have to spend 20 dollars to download it. What went wrong? How do I fix it?
Thanks

It is not free as part of upgrading to Mavericks. It is free if you owned a previous version only - the upgrade is free for people who already have iWork apps.
Or, if you bought a complete new Apple computer on or after Oct.1, 2013 it is free.
Otherwise, if you've never owned any iWork app at all, you have to buy it.

Safari quits unexpectedly after mavericks update

Safari keeps quiting unexpectedly after the mavericks update Help.

Hello Mackwater,
It sounds like your Safari application is quitting on launch. I recommend first checking for 3rd party plug ins, with the following article:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230
If the issue persists, I would next try resetting Safari:
Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Reset Safari

The article mentions Mountain Lion but the steps are relevant for Mavericks too.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Has it occurred to you that CS3 isn't compatible with Mavericks? Try using CS9 or 10.
Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?
