OS X 10.6.8 - Maverick Installer not launching

Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 - Installed all software updates prior to downloading Maverick OS X Installer. Installer downloaded but will not launch. Chrome and other applications will not respond (constantly freezes). I have re-downloaded and restarted several times. No change. What happened? Help please!

I discovered right after posting this that the software updates never actually installed. I have downloaded and restarted but the same updates appear when i "check for updates" I don't know if that is related to the Mavericks installer just sitting on my dock and refusing to launch. Chrome was non-responsive and a recent calendar app i downloaded refused to launch. I don't know if any of this is related but my computer was working perfectly before these software updates (or attempted software updates). I finally got Mavericks to install is safe boot. I hope this will smooth things over if it completes...or am I asking for more trouble?

Oracle Universal Installer not launching

Hello all,
I have been facing a strange issue. I am trying to run Oracle Universal Installer in Aix5.3 platform to upgrade db patchset but for some reason it does not come up. I am trying to launch it through VNC session using vncviewer. Whenever i run runInstaller as ora<sid> user ...it just takes long time and nothing happens. The message i get is:
All installer requirements met:
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall...........Please Wait .....<hostname>:ora<sid>.....
This is all i get but OUI doesnt not come up.. can anyone please tell me what seems to be the issue?
thanks

Hi,
This problem frequently occurs because of the wrong DISPLAY settings. Please perform the steps on a X-term terminal screen;
1) under root user
2) xhost +
3) su - ora<sid>
4) echo $DISPLAY
5) setenv DISPLAY <client ip>:(result of echo $DISPLAY) (for example setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.100:0.0)
6) xclock (test X-Client)
If it works then you will be able to run "./runInstaller", for example
cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP
./RUNINSTALLER
You can check the [installation guide|https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000359232008E], also. Search for "4.4.3 Running the Oracle Universal Installer" title and read the details,
Best regards,

When i download firefox it will not launch what is the problem

after downloading foxfire it will not launch,there is no icon or anything.Whats wrong

Uninstall the previous version (without removing your customizations) before installing the new version.
If it is installed try using safe mode http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

Trying to restore a Mountain Lion caldav.sql into a fresh/clean Mavericks installation

Call me cynical, but upgrades and Migration Assistant were never my thing. I'm starting to experiment with migrating some of my Mountain Lion OS X Servers to Mavericks.
Under OS X Server 2.2.x (Mountain Lion), I had a script that would individually backup the postgres_server databases, caldav, collab, device_management, etc.
I'm now working with a clean Mavericks installation and trying to restore the caldav db. Through the help of ~morgen, I've worked out that caldav seems to have its own postgres instance and I can see and view the fresh caldav database there:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/psql -U caldav -h /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/ caldav
So, I backed that up before proceeding with:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_dump -U caldav -h /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/ -c caldav | gzip -c > /Library/Server/Backups/PostgreSQL/caldav.sql.gz
And then tried to use dropdb to drop it, so I could use createdb to re-create it and then use psql to suck in my Mountain Lion backup. The three intended commands in order would have been:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/dropdb -U caldav -h /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/ caldav
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/createdb -U caldav -h /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/ caldav
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/psql -U caldav -h /var/run/caldavd/ccs_postgres_3d403b3009fe0c830944d87bd751fbe9/ -d caldav < /Library/Server/Backups/PostgreSQL/caldav.sql
HOWEVER.... the first command failed:
dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "caldav" is being accessed by other users
DETAIL: There is 1 other session using the database.
Interestingly, even though neither Calendar nor Contacts server are running, there's quite a bit running under _calendar:

So, how can I gently get this mystical one user off of the DB in order to do this? OR, how can I start up calendar in such a way that this mythical user is not connected?
If I unload this job:
launchctl load /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.calendarserver.agent.plist
I can no longer access the postgres instance in order to drop and create the db.
Any other ideas / suggestions / solutions?

If you knew your sql, I don't think it would be insurmountable to pull apart the full dump.
As to the upgrades in place, here's some of the output in caldav's error log every startup:

To be clear, I don't believe its Server.app. Each of these services stores its schema version IN the database and its checked every startup, and it would appear, that each service knows how to perform that upgrade at each startup.

If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
http://liondiskmaker.com/
If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
OS X: About OS X Recovery
and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"
I nee an easy way to resolve this with Apple.

why is it this problematic to resolve?! obviously there's a valid installer image for our macs, why can we not have access to it to use on our laptops?
I do not understand, nor accept the explanation given before - about it being a newer model... it doesn't make sense... how does that translate to "no download available".
also, if it was a valid point - we would have had that download with the release of 10.9.1 - which we don't.

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

Mavericks X CS4 will not launch

I just upgraded my Mac OS to Mavericks X, and now Photoshop CS4 will not launch. It does absolutely nothing when I click on it.
As a pro photographer, I NEED this, above all else, to work on my computer!

Try reinstalling from your discs or download a fresh Photoshop Mac CS4 installer.

Let me know how it turns out.

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14176
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

Preview app doesn't open anymore after Maverick installation

Since Maverick installation, I can't open my pictures in Preview. The Preview application doesn't open anymore. Neither does the App Store, nor the 'software update'
Any idea what to do?

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library", then go to Containers folder and com.apple.Preview and delete container plist. Now relaunch Preview and test.
EDIT: Oops, 10.7... it may be in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist. I'm not running 10.7 right now.

Which Method of Making USB Mavericks Installer?

I use Mavericks OS X 10.9.1. Which of the following methods should I use to make a USB Mavericks Installer/Re-Installer?:
1. How to Create an OS X Mavericks USB Installation Drive: lifehacker.com/how-to-create-an-os-x-mavericks-usb-installation-drive-145028002 6
(this method performs a "clean install") do I need to perform a clean install?
2. How to make a bootable install of Mavericks on Flash USB Drive? - MacRumors Forums: forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1649986
(does this method performs a "clean install?") do I need a clean install?
3. The MacRumors Forums talks about "a copy of OS X Mavericks GM." What is a "OS X Mavericks GM?" What does GM mean?

Both methods are the same and are the steps Apple gives users to create a bootable USB drive with the Mavericks installer.
You only need to perform a clean install if OS X Mavericks is not working correctly. If this is not the case, you will just be reinstalling OS X Mavericks and you will keep all your files. To perform a clean install, first you need to erase the hard drive with Disk Utility.

Ignore that. OS X Mavericks GM was OS X Mavericks Golden Master, which was the final version Apple gave to developers. That version is not available anymore, and you will be downloading 10.9.1 from the Mac App Store.

HT201375 Has anyone found a solution to the "Mavericks will not install new fonts" Issue? Has apple even admitted it yet?

Question is simple enough, Oh and by the way, my system is NOT what this forum page has decided to tell me that it is (no way evident to change it).

Hi Arthur,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
1. I am glad your Mavericks doesn't have the problem. I am sure there are a lot of Mavericks out there that don't have the problem, and yes, you are correct, I, along with ALL of the other people that are complaing of this problem all over the internet, including this support forum itself, are having problems with our own Mavericks installations.
2. Agreed, Apple doesn't have a good track record of admitting to the bugs in its Operationg Systems, but don't worry, Microsoft is just as bad. Technology is about making money after all.
3. Thanks for the instructions for updating my profile.
4. I took the precaution of removing all of my data from this machine. and wiped its harddrive.
I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard (the OS it came with), upgraded to Mountain Lion, and then upgraded to Mavericks before doing anything at all to the machine, and before installing anything on it.
So with this Fresh, brand new install of Mavericks (I dont trust upgrades - for good reason) I installed Open Office, Adobe Creative Suit CS6, Google Chrome, Filezilla, Firefox and Thunderbird, and Microsoft Remote Desktop client.
That's it.
The font that will not install is any of the fonts from the Univers family.
We have had this font in our office for the seven years I have worked there. It installs fine on all Macs from Tiger (10.4) to Mountain Lion (10.8) (I have just finished tesing this on a number of these machines).
We have one other mavericks machine but this font was already installed on it when it was upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks so it works.

This is a lot more information than has been provided by almost all of the other posts on all the forums I have been reading about this problem, and most of the posts have a lot of people chiming in saying,
"It works fine for me, so it must not be a problem".
Not a lot of help has been forthcoming for the others in this same situation that I have been reading of, and most are resorting to Third Party Programs in an attempt to get fonts installed, all with varying degrees of success.
I am not willing to use a third party program to do something the operationg system should be able to do itself.
I have tried pasting the fonts themselves into all of the various fonts folders in the OS, to no avail.
I will be very interested to hear what you make of the information I have supplied.
Thank you again for your reply. I look forward to hearing back from you.

MBP w/10.9.1, how to download the "Install OS X Mavericks" installer file

My MBP runs 10.9.1, would like to make a bootable recovery USB and need the "Install OS X Mavericks" installer to download from mac app store into the applications folder but it won't download because I already have mavericks installed.

You can redownload OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, so do it. You can do this even if OS X Mavericks is already installed.
However, if the Mac App Store says that OS X Mavericks is installed and you cannot download the installer, it means that you already have got the installer, so go to Applications folder and you will find it there. Then, use DiskMaker X to create a bootable USB drive with the Mavericks installer.
If you have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, note that you cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store because that version is not supported. In this case, you cannot create a bootable USB drive, so you will only be able to reinstall OS X through the Recovery partition

Help! Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"

I'm on a MacBook 13" mid 2010, OS X 10.7.5, I want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I have searched around for a few days, I find people with the same problem but can't really get the solution for it. I prefer not to reinstall OS X, I want to upgrade. I don't have boot camp or something just a 250 GB HD.
Well, while I'm trying to upgrade from the download from Apps Store, I open the installer, press continue then accepts the Terms.. then select Macintosh HD and click install, then an warning message shows up "Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"
As I've read the article that is included in the waring message i did try to install anyway because it say that I would be fine, but when i did try to install the installer starts and after like 3 minutes a window appears, Install Failed.
I've even try to make a installer on USB, both with the command in terminal and with Diskmaker, but it does not help.
It seems impossible to upgrade. Please Help me.

First, see the heading "What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created" in this support article. If you use Boot Camp, back up and delete the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Try the installation again.

HT201364 Can't download Mavericks installer on recent Mac. "OS Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer", which is running 9.1.

I want to download the Mavericks installer so I have a backup installer that does not require the internet. Although, the App Store button allows me to download, I get a message that Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer.
Computer is late 2013 retina MBP 13" with lots of memory.
My OS is 10.9.1 (13B3116) currently running.
Is the App Store version of Mavericks too old (jan 16) for my rMBP?

Judging by the build number, it appears you have a special build of Mavericks installed and the App Store version (13B42) won't work with your computer.
Kappy - if I try to download Mavericks I get the message below, so apparently I can down load it again?
I also have a copy of the installer in my Applications folder, although it is in a folder.
