Osx maverick update problem

I downloaded the osx maverick update and my computer won't turn back on after the update installed and had to restart the computer. What do I do to get it to come back on?
I push the power button and the computer comes on but it just runs and the monitor does not come on, it's just black.
HELP PLEASE!!! I'm in a crucial part of my semester and need my computer. 

Never mind!! It is working now!!

    Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

    I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done.  Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks.   Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
    This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow!  Apple really can make simple things difficult.  Who would have guessed."

  • Sync problem after OSX Maverick updating

  • Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

    Hey,
    Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
    Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
    I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
    Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

  • Invisible cursor in illustrator 5.5 after OSX Mavericks update

    Hi there,
    I realised, that after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9) there is almost invisible type cursor (as you hit T and try to edit text) in my Illustrator CS 5.5. Have you experienced this problem too? Well, it is not invisible, but like 10% black on white backgroud. As you can see on attached picture, cursor actually IS there, but from the front, you can't see it... Any opinion or troubleshoot? https://www.dropbox.com/s/rbhf9j52iw8m1y9/cursor.jpg
    Thank you very much!
    Configuration is: MBA 13" mid-2013 (i7, 8GB RAM, HD 5000, OSX Mavericks), Adobe Creative Suit Standard for Students CS 5.5.

    There have been atleast 3 posts in recent days about hard to see cursors, and atleast one of those posts mentioned new iMac. So i think you hti it on the hose that this is related to Mavericks.
    You can system preferences >> accesibility >> Display
    One tick mark should do it as it gets big really fast.
    I hope to see a mac OS update in the near future, or that someone else finds a solution.
    How do you like Mavericks otherwse, any good features?

  • Mac OSX sofware update problems-computer will not start-up any more

    Hello
    I am having problems & I cannot get back into my computer. It won't complete the start up & just has the grey apple in the middle of the white screen and nothing else.
    I have an iBook G4 with Tiger on it - I am not sure which version of Mac OS X I was on when I did the software update but the one I was on last year when I came to this forum was 10.4.8 & I think I have updated it a few times since then so it was probably as I was attempting to install 10.4.11 as I do not have Leopard yet.
    The problem began when I did the Mac OSX update that it told me about in software update & when it had completed the update it said I needed to restart my computer which I did & ever since then it will not completely re-boot. (Like I said it just has the white screen/grey apple before it gives the option of who you want to login as).
    It seems as though other people have been having similar problems after installing Mac OSX software updates but I cannot find anything here in the forum that solves my problems (or at least not that I can understand at th moment...!)
    I need to access things off my computer & can't. Not everything on there was backed up as I had been working on things that day/week. I also don't know how to access my files from another computer (the ones I am trying to connect from does not have tiger it is a PowerBook G4 & it has Mac OSX 10.3.9 on it).
    Does anyone know the reason for this problem & how to access files from another computer via an etheret cable in OSX. I know someone who says it was a lot easier to connect computers before Mac OSX days but now it seems really difficult. The only way to start up my iBook G4 is using the Mac OSX install disk & I have tried to verify & repair hard disk permissions using disk utility that comes on the disk as well as verifying & repairing the actual disk but this has not fixed the problem.
    I am hoping that I will be able to at least access my files & copy them over to be backed up before I do an erase & install of Mac OSX from the disks. But I am unsure of how to connect my iBook the PowerBook G4 I am on right now. Please help if you know how!
    Thanks,
    Jazamin

    This just worked for my by connecting my other PPC computer to my G5.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1247044&tstart=0
    Go down to the other link and follow the same instructions.
    You must start up the good computer and shut down the frozen one. Connect via firewire and then hold down the T key while you start the frozen one.
    It will show up on your good one, and then install the combo on the frozen one.
    Hold down the power key on that computer to shut it down, disconnect and then start up again.
    Good luck

  • Login issues from sleep mode after OSX maverick update

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick on my 13" MacBook Pro, I am having issues with logging in after it being in sleep mode. Everytime I close the screen to go somewhere and open it back up to continue what I was working on I type my password in (I am the only user, no other user accounts) it acts like the password is wrong and the only way to get logged in is to hold the power button down to shut the computer off then power it back up, then I can login.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • After OSX mavericks update my Finder app won't open !!

    So after completng sucessfully the update for OSX mavericks I had an error on the Finder app (-600) wgich is now not allowing me to open the app and also my desktop files have also disappeared rom screen and I can only access these if I open in safe boot. Please hopefully someone can give me a step by step guide to fixing this as i am beginning to pull my hair out and cant get a genius bar appointment either.
    Thanks for taking time to read.

    Not knowing what you have tried, consider these two options:
    One is a reload of Mavericks.
    Two is to revert to your prior OS:

  • I have an OSX, Version 10.8.5.  Can I upgrade to OSX Maverick without problems

    Can I upgrade MAC OSX, Version 10.8.5, processor 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 DUO, Memory 2GB, 1067 MHZ, DDR3 to OSX Maverick??

    Yes. But you really need more than 2 GBs of RAM.

  • MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks update problem

    MacBook Pro.  System updated on its own last night.  Screen is now black upon startup.  Screen is black with cursor only in safe mode.  I already repaired permissions, verified disks, and reinstalled OS X Mavericks.  Still nothing.  Ideas?

    I've found the problem!!
    Mavericks for some reason overheats the GPU.
    I downloaded a free 3 day trial of Temperature Gauge Pro   http://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/
    It showed a GPU 0 diode temperature of 122 degrres C. I think that's about 250 degrees Farenhiet. Insanely hot. No wonder the poor thing was crapping out. TGP alows fan control and so I set them to maximum and watched the temp come down quickly.
    After all these months of frustration it turned out to be a simple fix. So I bought the program for $10. Sure a lot cheaper than having the Apple Experts replace a GPU or CPU like some have sugested.
    What I still can't figure out is why Apple won't fix the problem from thier end and just update the fan parameters on Mavericks.

  • My Toshiba external hard drive won't mount after OSX Mavericks update. Please help.

    Two days ago I updated to Mavericks 10.9.3 and prior to this, my Toshiba 1TB external hard drive worked perfectly well. Since the update, my hard drive will no longer mount. It shows up in Disk Utility but will not let me 'mount', 'verify disk' or 'repair disk' through Disk Utility. My sister has an identical Macbook Pro which she has not updated to Mavericks. I have tested my hard drive on her laptop and it works just fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Do I need to reformat my hard drive (and if so, will that clear everything on my hard drive?) or is there a simple fix?
    Thank you for any assistance you can offer!

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • After OSX Mavericks update I now can't open the App store

    Upgraded to the new Mavericks OS however when i try to open the App store as well as a few other apps fail to load at all.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Tom

    If you haven't solved this yet, try re-installing the OS. If you have solved it, please share how you fixed it.
    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions. Then reinstall the OS.

  • OSX Mavericks Appstore signin problems

    Cannot sign in to Appstore after OSX Mavericks update. The prompt window asking for username and password is stuck in a loop.

    It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
    1.  Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
    2.  Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
    Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
    (Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
    Restart your system.
