"Optimizing your Mac", continuing after last system update

Have now 10.9.4
The message has been there for a week, perhaps.Three external hard disks are busy all the time, 5 TB totally.
I did not dare to reboot, I waited to see what happened.
(Other people had the same problem after installing Maverick, last year. I searched)
I am unsure if the lots of files takes this much time to move or what it does.
Any advice?
/groundliner

I do not want to do like that.
I always do disk check after power failures. I'd like to know why I maybe not should just shut it down normally?
Also one person I read about here did not get it stopped by rebooting.
(Apple got me to pull out the power cord the other day, to get my WiFi working ok, that worked well)
I waited so long, because the disks hold very many files...
But thanks!

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config

[SOLVED] Inkscape bug after last system update

After the last system update I started to have problems in Inkscape when I tried to adjust the color and alpha sliders to maximum values. They would only go up to 245. This means that a lot of basic colors are not achievable anymore, and the opacity cannot be set to maximum, which basically makes Inkscape unusable. After googling it for a while, I understood that there was a similar problem some time ago with Inkscape version 0.46-7 and GTK+ (here is a far better description of the bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467431), but this problem was assumably fixed in a later version (for the Red Hat package anyway). I am using at the moment Inkscape 0.46-10 and GTK2. Anyone with similar problems? Please help and thank you very much!

I have a lot of images to finish and he deadline is getting scaringly close . Anyway, thank you so much for your feed-back!
Anca
under the fill and stroke dialogue (ctrl-f), there is a small input box called RGBA which is just that, 1 byte for each channel. edit it at will. you will notice the sliders dont go past 245, but the value used by inkscape is the hex number there

Systemd-udev-settle.service suddenly active after last system update

Hi,
with my last pacman -Syu I noticed that my boot time went up from 4s to 8s.
Using systemd-analyze, I saw that systemd-udev-settle.service is the culprit.
I am not using lvm or similar, so AFAIK systemd-udev-settle.service should not be running on my system.
Does anybody know why this was activated by the last system update and if it is safe to just mask or disable the unit?
With best regards,
p90

I noticed that it is slowing down my boot also, I checked and for some reason the lvm2 package was installed which looks like it was partially causing it. It has a couple messages at boot and in dmesg. I removed lvm2 and by boot time is a little better, and masking systemd-udev-settle brings my boot back to where it should be.

How long does "Optimizing Your Mac" take after Installing Mavericks

A small window under spotlight says "Optimizing Your Mac." Then below it: "Performace may be impacted until completed."
How do I find out about when it finishes? And How do I know it is actually working. There is no progress bar.
Thanks
Robert
Mac Pro, Mavericks 10.9

I have the same problem. It's been 3 days now and no change on the warning box. The fact there's no progress bar is really annoying but I guess is a new trend now.
The Mavericks installation over Snow Leopard on an iMac 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo just went as smoothly as it gets but when I had to start my emails... Heck! It was **** on earth!
Good thing I put my old PPC G4 933Mhz up and running. No Intel, Just pure and simple Motorola RISC processor running Mac OSX 1.4 Tiger. This is a real mean machine.
Good luck!

Large Backup After Last System Update

There have been a lot of problems after 10.6.5 update, and this is another one. TM backup went from 120 GB to 240 GB after the system upgrade. I had to stop it manually, so I don't know if it would have continued in an infinite look until the disk was full as has happened to me before.
Does anybody know the cause of TM filling the backup disk?
When I enter TM there are only a couple of increments available.
I suppose I need to delete the whole archive and start again.
Does anybody know a way I can save my incremental backups?

A quick look at some of your recent posts indicates you may have done a full restore. That results in a full backup. See #D3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If not, see #D4 there.
When I enter TM there are only a couple of increments available.
Most likely, it deleted many old backups to make room for the new one.
I suppose I need to delete the whole archive and start again.
You can, of course, but if it had started backing-up, it had made enough space.
Does anybody know a way I can save my incremental backups?
The ones already deleted are gone for good.
The remaining ones probably won't be deleted when you do the next backup, but a few might. If not, they'll likely be deleted before long.
You may want to consider getting a larger backup drive, at least 3 times the size of the data on your system.

Norton Anti Virus Live Update stopped working after last system update

Hello,
I am using Anti- Virus version 11 for MAC. It has worked fine for years. Now Live Update will not run.
I have tried reloading and nothing helps. Is anyone experiencing this problem.
Alice

FYI:
Norton Anti-virus software is the worst app to install on a Mac. It will slow down the drive and cause all sorts of system issues. Delete Norton and get ClamXav available here, and it's free:
http://www.clamxav.com/
There are no known Mac virus. If you really think anti-virus software is necessary, then use Clamxav. It can detect a trojan horse and malware both.

Cannot start mac mini coreduo after last security update

Hi,
after last security update mac mini cannot see anymore the new 7200 rpm hddisk which worked like a charm since that…
When try to boot now I see only a question mark folder…
I can fix permissions via dvd, I can see the mac mini disk if i connet via firewire to another mac,
but cannot boot from it…
tried a kind of tech tool test: it seems that I've got a huge amount of corrupted .plist files…
How could that happen?
does it mean that it's not an hardware issue?
should I reinstall snow?
help me please

tmma.a wrote:
I thought that erasing was formatting as well;
no, it's not. there is probably something wrong with the partition map of the drive which is why your mac firmware does not recognize it as a boot drive when you restart. simply erasing the drive won't fix it. reformatting might.
anyway I'm reinstalling now, if doesn't work will try reformatting too…

After Mavericks installation - window "Optimizing Your Mac" does not disappear. Nothing seems to be happening. Can I close it?

Can I close "Optimizing Your Mac" that appears on startup after installation of Mavericks?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Cannot access internet through itunes after last itunes update. Cannot get to itunes store or itunes help. Everything else works fine.

After last itunes update I cannot get to the internet through itunes. Cannot get to itunes store, itunes help, etc. Also, now when I sync everything syncs properly but I get message at end that tells me that my phone cannot be backed up on the laptop.

Something may be corrupt in your iTunes installation. The backup problem may or may not be related. The first step is reboot your system, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. The next thing to try is completely removing iTunes and reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
Also, if you used TinyUmbrella or Recboot as unauthorized apps to help with the update they corrupted your network settings on your computer. You will have to edit your hosts file and remove all references to Apple servers.

X isn't working anymore since the last system update.

Hi there,
I'm using Arch for a couple of months and didn't need a forums login until now. But currently I've broken somehow my system and can't get it working anymore. So I need some help of you.
The Problem:
Arch Linux is running on my computer at work as a virtual machine inside VMWare Player 6.0.2-1744117. Host ist Win 8.1. After the system-update xorg didn't start anymore. Neither with kdm nor with plain X. When I start the X-Server (X as user or systemctl start kdm), the cursor of the tty console appears in the upper left corner, but isn't blinking. That's all. Only a black screen. It seems, X itself isn't starting. There's no process in ps and no graphics mode switch. In journalctl there's no (error) message.
What I've done:
Last week I made a system update, xorg-server was a part of it:
yaourt -Qi xorg-server
Name : xorg-server
Version : 1.15.1-1
Description : Xorg X server
Installed on : Do 12 Jun 2014 11:16:46 CEST

I've tried a downgrade to xorg-server 1.5.0.5, but it didn't help.
I would prefer the vmware graphics driver, but temporary the vesa driver would do the job too. I can access the system via ssh from outside. Inside the VMWare after starting X I can't switch to the tty consoles anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks so far.

I upgraded everything today including open-vm-tools-dkms and it still does not work.
MickeyKnox has the same problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182971
This is his codebin, same errors I have: http://codebin.org/view/53bcafc9
Could this be related to this report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40781?
How could I install the version from the git?
[EDIT] I also tried downgrading mesa and mesa-libgl to Version 10.1.4-1 to no avail. (see bug report FS#40781 above)
[EDIT2] At least I can now use [ALT]+[F2] to log into the system without arch-chrooting from a live medium. So it hangs "less bad" ...

How do i uninstall the last system update to fonts?

how do i uninstall the last system update?
It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.
This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.

Apple does not support a downgrade. You can download OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) and give it a try.

CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update

when I start up or restart Mymac Pro CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update. Also I could not reinstall Mac OS Tiger because CD Tray open automatically every start up or restart. What's happen? Somebody help me! Please~

Hi.
If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, try unplugging them and then restart. If you have a Bluetooth set, remove the batteries and restart.
See what happens.
Good Luck.
