Preview is not responding since Maverick update

IS anyone else having a problem opening photo files since the upgrade. My preview just keeps going to pinwheel mode.

Might be corrupted Preview preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Preview.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try Preview.

App store login - not working since Mavericks update

All,
Since I updated to Mavericks, I find I am unable to log into the App Store. I get the login pane OK, enter my credentials, then get a spinner that waits... and waits... And never works.
The Apple ID I am using is good - iTunes likes it fine, and I'm using it to post this. Just the App Store, and only since the Mavericks update; indeed I used the Apple ID to install Mavericks...
Google tells me I am not the only one seeing this - but the suggested fixes do not seem to work for me. Do we know if a "proper" actual official fix wil be forthcoming?
Indeed, do Apple acknowledge that some folks are having a problem with this?
Anyway, in case anyone else stumbles onto this one:
- There are many threads suggesting that deleting the network plist helps (though did not for me)
- For some, deleting /Users/ian/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist helps (though not for me...)
- and so on.
What "works" for me, albeit as a workaround, is to create a new user account on the machine, and use that to access the App Store - with the same ID etc., but this time it works. At least one time, so far!
I'd much rather my regular account Just Worked.
Any of the accounts (myself, wife, etc.) on the machine before the Mavericks upgrade however; they can not log into the App Store any more.
No Idea why not; presumably "something" changed in the updates and that broke the login in some way; though why iTunes et al appear unaffected is less clear!

Just an update to note that, after leaving it alone for a while, I tried the app store again today and it now works from my regular account once again.
Which is nice...
No idea what changed in the meantime, but at least it appears to be working.

Why has my FireFox gone painfully slow/Not responding since last update?

Since the last update Firefox just does not want to work for me most webpages take 20-30 seconds to load and often It will just not respond and take a minute to load and when it does it will have a script error as for google images forget about it well into 2 mins to load after the not responding message finally goes My brother also uses Firefox and his works perfectly fine, I have disabled all addons and it is the same. If i use another browser (Chrome) It is super fast I have tried some suggestions from other posts like making firefox high priority and such there is little difference if any please dont makeme use chrome

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Preview app not working since Yosemite update

Preview will not open jpeg or any other document. I get an error message stating "an unexpected error" has occurred. I tried repairing disk permissions and worked with a Genius tech on the chat feature but nothing worked. It was recommended to uninstall and reinstall Yosemite but it failed to work. Since then, I am worried about trying again as the first update reset passwords and accessibility to pro apps such as Photoshop and Lightroom, data was lost somehow and install subscriptions were

Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.

Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist

Email invites not recognized since Mavericks update

Hi!
I updated my Mac Mini server to 10.9.2 and OS X server to 3.1.
Since the update the calendar server is having issues sending out proper email invites.
For example when sending invites to someone who uses Outlook / Exchange, they are not able anymore to directly accept the invite. The .ics file is named as: "not supported calendar message.ics
This seems to happen on multiple Exchange servers. We can open the ics file and accept it, but the ical server doesnt seem to recognize the answer. I made sure the answer was in the mailbox thats being used by the ical server
We setup the server to use a gmail account for monitoring email invites.
The ics files generated by the ical server are containing much less lines that before the update:
It now looks like:

Yes, other people are reporting it.
Just in case, let's first try the following document:

Addressbook actions do not work since Mavericks Update

I had some nice addressbook actions in my Contacts-App.
by clickin on email or telephone-action I was able to perform some specific actions like doing a phone call via iphone, ...
since the 10.9 update these actions don't work anymore. By perfoming these actions nothing happens and I get no error message nor any output in apple script
the scripts are stored in ~Library/Address Book Plug-Ins
the scripts look similar to this (assumin the app TK-Suite-Client is installed):
on cleanString(str, chars)
          set tid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          repeat with c in chars
                    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {c}
                    set chunks to text items of str
                    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
                    set str to chunks as Unicode text
          end repeat
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
          return str
end cleanString
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
          tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
          return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning
using terms from application "Contacts"
          on action property
                    return "phone"
          end action property
          on action title for aPerson with phoneNumber
                    return ("anrufen : " & (value of phoneNumber as string))
          end action title
          on should enable action for aPerson with phoneNumber
                    return true
          end should enable action
          on perform action for aPerson with phoneNumber
(* remove ignored phone characters *)
                    set phoneNumber to my cleanString(value of phoneNumber as string, {" ", "-", ")", "(", "."})
set volume 0
                    using terms from application "TK-Suite-Client"
                              activate application "TK-Suite-Client"
                              delay 0.5
                              tell application "TK-Suite-Client" to dial phoneNumber
                    end using terms from
                    return true
          end perform action
end using terms from

very easy... in Mavericks AddressBook.app was changed. with that came some changes.
you need to take ALL scripts from ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
and copy them to NEW location: ~/Library/Application\ Scripts/com.apple.AddressBook
restart Address book and your scripts should work.
good luck.

App Store, Messages, Maps, iBooks not opening since Mavericks Update. Help!

Installed Mavericks yesterday from Mountain Lion. Everything worked OK then tried to download iPhoto and iMovie update. My laptop power dies accidentally and now App Store, Messages, Maps, iBooks won't even open (Bounce once then nothing). Also running ridiculously slow now!

Can you use either the Generic PostScript or PCL ppd?

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

Since Maverick update, when I try to share a video I get Error 1 frame. I have duplicated the project, I have deleted all rendered files. I have tried it several times and always gives me a different frame.

Since Maverick update, when I try to share a video I get Error 1 and a frame number. I have duplicated the project and tried to share. I have deleted all rendered files and then render again. I deleted all rendered and then tried to share it before rendering. Nothing works. I shared the project a couple of weeks ago and was fine. I only changed a small clip and can't share to burn a dvd.

What software version? What computer?
Trash preferences. Switch off background rendering. Trash project and event render files. Do not render. Export. Do not do anything on the computer during export. Make sure App Nap is switched off in the Finder.

ITunes won't launch since maverick update on late 2010 macbook air

have tried downloading and reinstalling itunes on my late 2010 macbook air, but since maverick update itunes will not lauch and has to be force quit in order to close, this happens instantly on launch??

My machine was running quite slow too, especially boot time. Repairing permissions and zapping PRAM seemed to help out a lot. Further, if you want, you can disable hibernation and delete sleep image. I realize that most that run a Mac don't expect to do any tweaking, and hopefully Apple will come out with a SP soon that 'fixes' some of the issues that many are having. I don't think having 2GB of memory is the main issue, as many with 8GB of RAM are having the same issue. I did a lot of tweaking and Lion is working as well as Snow Leopard was on my MBA 11" with 2GB of RAM. You can also successfully run monoligual on your MBA, get rid of language packs you don't need and save 1.5GB.

HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Preview is not responding even though it's been forced to quit

Hi,
My preview is not responding, and even though I've forced it to quit several times, it is still not responding.
I've tried to go to Finder --> Go to folder --> ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist --> and moved it to trash.
But none of it is working!
I'm studying for my exams, and I really need my "preview" to work.
I would be extremely happy, if anyone could help me.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
