Preview 7.0 in Mavericks 10.9.3 won't download works sporatically
MacBook
OS Mavericks 10.9.3
Preview 7.0
At tax time I had to change the default pdf viewer to Adobe. When I tried to return to Preview as my default reader, I ran into all kinds of problems. First I did the Control Click to get Open With, chose Preview and clicked "always open with." That worked fine for that one pdf file, but it did not make Preview the default pdf viewer. I searched some more and found a way to make Preview the default by going to the Internet plug-ins folder and dragging the Adobe plug-ins to the trash. That did make Preview the default reader again, but not to its fully functional state.
So now Preview as my default reader, but it doesn't download pdf files directly from the Internet (Safari Browser) to open at a later time. The only way I can see a pdf file is to open it in Preview first. When I do open a pdf on the Internet with the intention of downloading, but not saving it, I get a straight vertical line like the flashing cursor without the flash, no pointer. I can click any of the four buttons at the bottom of the Internet pdf page, but the download button does not work at all.
I don't know what to do. I am very frustrated. Any help will be greatly, greatly appreciated!
10.9.1 is still in beta. Should you have any problems with it, you should post in the Mac Dev section.
Sorry,
Clinton

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.
Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.
Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again. -
I purchased my Macbook Pro in 2008. My son recently gave me and iPhone 5 and in order to use it I upgraded my OS to Snowleapord, then I down loaded Maverick. Since I did the Maverick thing my iSite camera does not work on Skype or Facetime. I done a few things like reset SMC and the one other thing to no avail. It works in photobooth and things like that, but it doesn't show up in the utilities list. One point it said something about not being recognized or supported? Is the an upgrade for the camera or do I need to get rid of Maverick? Or what?
Install the latest software update.

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
Uninstall Air Parrot if you have it installed.
If this does not help, contact Apple.

After upgrading to Mavericks, F14/F15 brightness adjustments don't work
After upgrading to Mavericks, F14/F15 brightness adjustments don't work. The screen appears to be "locked" at the dimmest brightness level. How do I adjust the brightness?
I am home now and I just confirmed that I have a brightness control slide in my Sys Pre---> Display. However, this for my Apple Cinema display. When I was using another name brand, this wasn't available to me. Nor could I use F1 and F2.
I also went to Sys Pre---> Keyboard---> Shortcuts---> Display---> Changed those values to F5 and F6, since they were free for me. And they were able to change the brightness for me. Went to test them, and I was just given that error chim and nothing on the display changed.
So I went on down the list... Accessibility---> checked Contrast and changed those to F5 and F6. Ahhh, now I can change that. Now I know that I can use the F5 and F6 for something.
I know that you are talking about brightness, but double check the Contrast settings to see if you were mistaking the two. After years of setting my TV with Video Essentials, I still get the two mixed up from time to time.

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!
iPhoto Version 9.5.1
Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old. -
I cannot down load Yosemite from the App Store. It keeps saying there is an error. I have Mavericks installed now. Can I download Yosemite anywhere else besides the App Store?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

After I upgraded to Mavericks my Epson 5000V scanner is not working properly. I can scan by going into Preference/PrintersScanners to operate the scanner, but I cannot find the output. I am trying to save the scan as a PDF in Documents.
Have you installed Apple's latest Epson drivers?

Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?
Id also like to know if Powerpc software will be supported? I have C&C Generals on disc but it doesnt run now mavericks is installed?!
Annoying!Regarding time machine, it probably took a full backup after you put mavericks on. To investigate, open Console, select "All Messages" and type "backup" (without the quotes). It will then only show you backup-related messages. If you're not sure how to read those, copy them and paste them into a reply here; we can investigate the situation.
I don't know anything about your PPC software issue, sorry. -
I had OS Maverick and downloaded OS X Yosemite and then cleared the mistakenly cleared the hard-drive while trying to re-download OS Maverick and now should I re-download OS X Yosemite in attempts of getting the pictures, videos, and documents back?
No; try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

Updated to maverick and my mac won't open
I just updated my mac with maverick and now it won't open
Hi Barney,
After startup, the computer stops responding and display's only gray screen with the Apple logo & spinning globe.
I have restarted the computer several times with the same result.
I contacted apple support & they instructed me to restart the computer and hold down certain keys (ctrl,options?, P & R) this brought up a dialouge box and I selected fix OS.
This didn't fix the problem, and the apple help person advised my OS may be corrupted & I need to back up my stuff onto an external hard drive & then they will reinstall the OS.
I am not particularly computer savvy and this 'glitch' in the maverick download has really f*cked me off as I cant work from home until I buy an external hard drive and get it sorted......
That's is my whinge..... -
I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download, nothing happens. It shows as purchased but nothing is happening. I have the MacBook Pro Late 2011 model. I am unable to load any new apps because it says that I don't have the latest OS version. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate it! Thanks
I installed 'Mavericks' on my Macbook Pro and am sorry I did !
It wiped my Mac's hard drive totally clean!
A technician here was able to reload the original OS but all my pictures, files and contacts were
sent God knows where !
I should have done a back up, so I learned my lesson the hard way !
What really annoyed me was that this is an Apple program, so I wrongly assumed it would be a safe download.
Wrong !
He told me that others in our small town had experienced the same problem, and since we live in a small community of about 6000, I wonder how many others have had this problem in more populated centers ?
Everything is thankfully up and running again ( at great expense in time and money ) but I will exercise more jurisprudence in future offers for any upgrades! -
I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay asleep! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?
Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)
Best Regards,

I just accepted a download of OS X Mavericks. The purchases panel says "downloaded". Fine. Now how do I prompt this wonderful new I MAC to install it?
Simple enough. Thanks. I'll get used to my I Mac eventually. This community will ease the way I am sure.
