Preview app issue after update to Mavericks

Since I updated to OS Mavericks my preview app has not been functioning properly. When the app is open when viewing PDFs a window (accompanied by a progress bar) pops up quite frequently that says "Saving changes... '#' documents remaining", with the # sign representing any number of documets. Often, the number of documents "remaining to be saved" progressively increases from 1 to 8 or so, despite there being only one document open. While the app is doing these "auto saves" my computer is slowed down significantly and while these interuptions occur I am usually unable to do anything else.
I will also add that the size of the PDF files that I view are rather large, on average 70-80 MB, although I'm not sure if that is the reason for the issue because before I updated to Mavericks I didn't have this problem. And the problem does also seem to occur with smaller sized files as well.
My computer usage is usually minimal when this occurs, typically only Safari is open in the background. I was advised to reset my SMC, which I did, but the problem is still occurring. Any additional advice or solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I have just experienced this exact same issue.
I have been adding text notes and highlighting to a PDF document that is saved on an external USB drive. When I left work yesterday I told preview to save the changes. I did notice the Saving Changes dialog appear and before I left it said 3 documents remainin, even though I only had one document open in preview. My USB drive was connected and mounted when I left work.
On my return in the morning I noticed that the Saving Changes dialog had not gone away. For some reason my USB drive was unmounted and I had the OS X message about ejecting drives before disconnecting them so I re-seated the USB cable and my drives remounted. Immeditately after doing this the Saving Changes dialog in preview started counting up from 3 to 8. It is now sitting at 8 and the progress bar is empty.
I had a look in Console and did not notice anything strange. I also grabbed a sample of the Preview process using Activity Monitor but I have little clue what to look for. Whilst I was running console and activity monitor and such I did notice that the Saving Changes dialog has climbed further to 14 now and it appears to increase whenever I bring preview into focus or move away from preview. I appear to have no option but to force quit preview so that I may continue working.
My PDF document is 26.5M.
I have a Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011), 1.7GHz i5 with 4GB RAM running OSX Mavericks 10.9.1.

Wifi Issues after updating to Mavericks

After updating to Mavericks, the wifi on my 2011 Macbook Air started to drop a few minutes after connection. I performed wireless diagnostics, and here are the logs generated by the program.
First is the monitoring log:
# --- Monitor Test Cases
11/11/13 19:39:01.8910           No LAN Connectivity

Might be corrupted network preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
See if that helps the Wi-Fi connection.

Cannot connect to app store after updating to mavericks

First time I've had to post here, never had a problem before. Couple days ago it pops up that I have an update to mavericks for my macbook pro. Go ahead and install it and all the sudden I can't connect to the app store. I click the sign in button and nothing happens. I've tried the stuff I can think of from resetting it to disk permissions and nothing works.
Worked fine before the update, obviously since i had to have it to get the update but now nothing

well as an update, last night it just started connecting again. No rhyme or reason but I clicked it and it magically connected.
However now my email is dead.

I'm getting messages on my iMac telling me I don't have enough app memory after updating to Mavericks. This eventually freezes my computer.

I'm getting messages telling me I don't have enough application memory and I need to close my apps. I have 1 TB of memory installed and I'm only using 800,000 GB of memory leaving 900,000 GB free. Eventually this freezes my mac or makes it impossible to use. I've used Terminal to repair permissions. I've turned my iMac off and then on again. Nothing works for longer than a few minutes. The best fix seemed to be opening one app at a time. But even this failed after 10 minutes or so. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the maximum of 4 GB of RAM installed. I have 850 GB of hard drive space remaining. I've looked that the two articles noted in replies to my question. Perhaps it is an issue with not enough RAM as Mavericks is RAM intensive. That leaves only one option and that is to purchase a new desk top computer with more RAM, as minimizing the number of apps open doesn't always work. Any other suggestions?

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?

Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
"This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
*ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
*RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
(As in my case it was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
Here is how I got it fixed
I contacted apple support via chat method and I asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
(As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone )

After updating to Mavericks the apps store gives me the message "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." How do I still update my apps??

What happened was you never accepted these apps into your Mac App Store account.
Drag & drop the apps in the Trash and use OS X Recovery to install them again. after installing the apps be sure to accept them into your account this time from the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store.
OS X Recovery -

Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
but after 2 hours its still loading.
It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
What could be the reason?

I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

Safari hangs after Updating to Mavericks.

Whenever I try to SWIPE(back and forward) between pages in safari, all the trackpad gestures stop working. I cannot even scroll up and down using trackpad. Tried the same in Chrome as well. Witnessed the same issue. But, in Chrome, I can go back to the previous page by clicking on the BACK button. While in Safari, clicking on the back button does not help. I can open and close tabs. but cannot use the trackpad gestures for anything in safari. Kindly help. I have noticed this only after updating to Mavericks. Beforre mavericks, everything was fine.
Details:
OS X 10.9
Safari 7.0 (9537.71)
Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101

Sachin --
This is a common situation. Many third-party internet apps/plugins/extensions claim to be compatible with Macs.
And many are not. It's important to remember to check for any updates to this kinds or things prior to upgrade.
At any rate, very happy you've got your problem resolved.

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

Can't import photos from Canon 7D after updating to Mavericks

I can no longer import photos or MOV's shot on my Canon 7D to iPhoto OR open them in Preview or Finder after upgrading to Mavericks. Can still import from my iPhone, and the same card and camera still work great on my iMac that I have yet to upgrade to Mavericks.
Ideas? Anyone else having this issue?
Rob

I can sudo reboot /shutdown
I tried several solutions on other threads nothing worked.

After updating to Maverick, I need to install iMovie, iPhoto, but have read it has a lot of problems. Is there a fix?

After updating to Maverick, I have heard there are issues with Imovie 11. I want to know if I should buy it?

Thank you so very much for your reply and help!
I went back to the store where I purchased the Mac and I tell you that was an "experience"!. When I explained the overheating problem they informed me that they could send the Mac for service, they said "after all you do have a warrantee and Apple care".
I live in Sweden, but I´m American and as you mention I was expecting that they would immediately offer a new computer, but instead they want to send my 2 day old computer for service?? Not happy!!
Then when I mention that I could not see my external hard drive via Airport Extreme, the guy said that some HD are not able to be read by the Airport Extreme. That was kind of strange since I been using it to back up the G4 via firewire and never had a problem.
As it did not work with my HD as they had promised, I decided to return the Airport Extreme and buy a Time Machine. Then the salesmen informed me that he would buy the Airport Extreme back for a discount. BUY IT BACK and for a discount?? I had it for 2 days!! Never have heard such a thing in my life!
What was suppose to be a dream come true, is turning into a nightmare, I hate the store would love to just give them back the Mac and just order online from Apple. However I´m afraid they will want to buy it back for a "discount" I just spent 4000 dollars in that store, I get no help and instead they want to make more money out of me without a purchase. Sorry, just so upset!
I managed to fix the trash problem, just took "empty secure" away, according to what I have read, sometimes the fans take a while to "kick in" so I´m waiting for them to "kick in" and yes I will reinstall the system completely and hope that will fix the rest.
Thanks again for the help!
