Old Xerox C2424 working on Mavericks

Just my tip for getting an old Xerox Workcenter C2424 working on Mavericks.
I was somewhat dismayed that my old but quite functional Xerox Workcenter no longer worked nor supported when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and subsequently Mavericks. Errors when printing after set-up using old drivers included "on-hold authentication required, to process crash
A small investigation found that The Xerox Phaser 4500DX was very similar in design/release date to my printer, so since neither Apple nor Xerox had support drivers I ended up using the latest bunch from Gutenprint (V5.2.9) which I set up. - IP with LPD, it found my printer I chose the Gutenprint driver for Xerox Phaser 4500DX.
BTW: One tip to overcome the security difficulties with Instal - Go to System Preferences...Security & Privacy...Unlock the Padlock (with admin level password).......click the "Anywhere" radio button to allow the unidentified Gutenprint software to instal.
To date it seems to be working well, printing 2-sided...ect

Running 10.9.2
printer was working before under Generic PostScript Printer
but don't get all printing features, which is missing
done an update
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL912
Xerox Printer Drivers v3.0.1 for OS X
printer does not work when it's default setting as work centre C2424
get this message
"/Library/Printers/Xerox/filter/XeroxPSFilter failed"
and
pstophaserps quit unexpectedly
does anyone have a solution please?

I just downloaded Maverick on my Macbook Pro from 2011. When I try to open iPhoto, it says that I have an old version that doesn't work with Maverick. None of the solutions stated on this forum work for me, because there are no options displayed.

After downloading Maverick on the MacBook Pro that I bought in 2011, I am unable to open iPhoto. The message says "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. You have "iPhoto" 9.2.3" What??? That is ridiculous. Why doesn't Maverick download everything? I've tried the "fixes" I found on this forum, but none of them work for me, because there is no workaround via the library. I can't access the library.

I have an old iPhoto version and it still works with Mavericks, the version before yours, that is puzzling.

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.

Photo Booth flash not working in Maverick or Yosemite

I have noticed that the photo booth flash in Maverick on my Macbook Pro and in Yosemite on my iMac is not working Screen flash is enabled on both.
So this is happening on two different computers. Does anyone know how to fix this? All my photos are so dark on both of my computers using Maverick and Macbook Pro.
It works fine on system 10.6.8 though.
Has anyone else had this problem too?
Martha

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Wacom Cintiq 13hd works on Mavericks?

Wacom Cintiq 13hd works on Mavericks?

After the Mavericks upgrade on my MacBook Pro 17" (Mid 2009) my Cintiq 13HD had an annoying intermittent "blink" or shot-off and back-on of varying length's and intervals. I had read, and subsequently did in fact find, that a PRAM NVRAM reset fixed the blink, but after resetting the Energy Setting in systems Preferences to "Best performance" to keep necessary 3D functionality in PS CC the "blink" returned.
I then saw, here in the Apple Community in an old 2012 OS X 10.8 update thread by @koliaG a suggestion by @GISMAC, that starting the laptop without the peripheral display attached, then connecting the mini display adaptor (in that case a VGA -in my case to HDMI) alone, and then the display to the adaptor allows the laptop to recognize the adapted means of peripheral video connectivity and then subsequently the display and it's differing resolution.
The mini display adapters further complicate things by apparently being notoriously faulty. I am on my third brand now.

Does the HP 5MP printer work with Mavericks?

I have an old HP 5MP printer that currently sits unused. It served me well years ago so I'm reluctant to get rid of it.
From what I understand, I could use a simple USB Parallel Printer adapter to get the printer working with the 10.6.8 version of X I currently use. (I'd just be printing out some simple text documents, no images, etc.)
However, I thought I read somewhere that the 5MP will no longer work in Mavericks. Is this correct? (I hope to eventually install Mavericks within the next few months.)

No, no other computers on a network to hook it up to.
Honestly, I guess I'm looking for someone to tell me to get rid of it. Space is limited here and I should probably part with the 5MP. But I know that even if I try donating it it may end up in the trash somewhere. It's a solid and decent printer (for simple text items) and don't want to see it killed.

Does Office 2011 work with Mavericks?

First, I just dragged my Office 2011 from my old MacBook Pro (which runs Mountain Lion) to my new Air (which is newly running Mavericks). It wouldn't open. So, I downloaded it (using my product key) and installed it. It still won't open. Suggestions? Thanks.

That's the problem
You can't drag it there you have to install it
Remove all elements you dragged and installed, and restart from scratch with a genuine install.
Yes office 2011 works on Mavericks

Why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

Philip, many people have talked about this "blue lego" problem, but you are the first to explain it (migrating to Intel) that brings clarity to the issue. The Business and People widgets use small "webkit" plugins in order to do their work. However, the plugins on the PowerPC versions of these widgets are NOT Universal, and thus will not run on an Intel Mac.
Typically, this should never be an issue because an Intel Mac comes with widgets already installed (the Universal versions of these widgets, which include Universal versions of these plugins).
However, if I understand you correctly, you "migrated" your old files from your PowerPC Mac to your new Intel Mac. Is it possible you overwrote your Intel OS X default widgets (the 18 widgets in [Hard Drive]/Library/Widgets) with the versions from your old PowerPC Mac during this migration?
If so, then that is the source of your problem: you replaced your Universal widgets with PowerPC widgets. The solution is to reinstall your widgets from the Installer that came with your new Intel Mac. You can either re-install OS X entirely, or use Pacifist to just install those overwritten widgets.

Local Sync of Calendar etc not working on Mavericks

I upgraded to Mavericks back when it was first released, but after discovering the unpleasant surprise that Apple secretly disabled local syncing of Calendar/Reminders/Notes, I had to wipe my MBP and reinstall the old OS from a backup. (My company prohibits cloud-based products of any kind.)
Recently an Apple employee told me that Apple had restored local sync in the newest version of Mavericks, so I upgraded again (this time to 10.9.4). Though it appears the local sync option has been restored, it's not actually working.
Mavericks recognizes all my Calendar data that existed on the MBP, but when I connect my iPhone to my MBP and sync it, no new Calendar events sync. (I created a new event on the MBP and a new event on the iPhone. Neither event synced with the other device.)
Oddly, the Reminders app on the MBP is showing some very old Reminder lists -- none of which are currently on my iPhone. And all of the Notes that were previously in Mail came over to the Notes app on the MBP, but when I created a new Note on the MBP and a new Note on the iPhone, neither Note synced with the other device.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Trashing my Calendar prefs and restarting. The MBP recreated all the Calendar events but still won't sync new ones. (Plus — same problems with Notes and Reminders)
There's a System Pref that wasn't on my previous OS called Internet Accounts. I've played around with the checkboxes on various email accounts I have, but that hasn't gotten any new Calendar events (or anything else) to sync locally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to amend my previous post, but I got an error message saying I'm "not allowed" to edit it.
I solved the Calendar sync issue — for some reason iTunes had turned off all the Sync options. That's a weird default for Mavericks. Anyhow, turning them back on got Calendar events to sync.
But still no syncing on Reminders or Notes.

I had iwork 08 installed on my Mac. Now that I have upgraded, none of my documents or spreadsheets work with Maverick. How do I convert to iwork 09 so that I can open these files?

How do I convert my files to iWork 09 so that I can open my files in Maverick?

You simply open the old files in the newer versions of iWork that work with Mavericks and the iApps should automatically convert the old file format to the new one.. but once that's done there's no going back to the old iApp version with your docs.

IDVD is not working in Mavericks... what now?

I am very upset that iDVD is not working in Mavericks! I need the ability to burn DVDs for family who is unable to access the internet. Any patches or fixes available to make this software usable again? I am very disappointed that Apple would do this without warning users that previously purchased software would be incompatible with the new OS.

I am also having problems with iDVD under Mavericks. I have used iDVD for many years creating DVD's for family members and archiving our vacations. It worked great under Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion, but now Mavericks is a different situation.
I have two basic problems, (1) after importing the video I want to use, I play it back to preview and a small band shows up at the top of the screen that is not in sync with the rest of the screen. And (2) when showing a slideshow using standard jpegs there are color issues on playback. Help, I need my iDVD back!

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.

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapte

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and the new MacBook Pro?
Apple Store says it is for the 30" only.
Thanks ... Ken

I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. C

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.
