Problems with Mavericks install - suggestions, please?

I installed Mavericks, but since then my MacBook Air has been slow and sometimes crashing. There was a problem during installation - a password was not accepted. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try rebooting into Safe Mode.
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

Once done, reboot normally and see if the problems persist.

Problems with Maverick instaled recently

A few months ago I upgraded my mac to version Maverick and I have had several problems: leaving the Mac without using it for a while, instead of going to sleep that is activated by moving the mouse or hit a key as usual, the Mac goes off and it's vary difficult to get it started again. Only after pressing a long time ten On/Off key I can re-start the mac as before. This happens oftenly in a short use time.
The hard disck should go asleep only after 15 min.

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

I have a cd rom for my italian class, which I cannot open on my macbook pro with mavericks installed, someone said I need Rosetta! Help please

I have a cd rom for my italian class, but am unable to load it on my macbook pro with Mavericks installed.
Someone has said i need Rosetta, but understand that Apple stopped installing this!1
Can anyone suggest anything to help me??

Many educational CDs have not been upgraded due to lack of funds in the educational market to pay for the such updates.
This situation is due primarily to the fact that one of the major political parties in this country favors tax cuts to the rich while cutting federal educational support funding (or eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether).
However, you can restore Rosetta and run your educational CD if you install Snow Leopard Server ($20) into Parallels (up to $79) for use in Lion/Mt. Lion/Mavericks:

Having problems with mavericks?

Hello everyone! i have a 13"inch retina MacBook Pro (late 2012) and i've noticed that since i've upgraded from mountain lion to mavericks, all the animations of the mac have slowed down a lot, it's not a serious problem, but i want to know if i am the only one having this issue, many blogs recommend a clean upgrade but i'm not sure about that, and i dont know why but even with mavericks installed everytime i go to the mac app store and i search for mavericks it says "Download" and appears a window that asks me if i want to download the full version.. is that going to erase everything i have, or should i try downloading that again? Also i have to mention that i haven't download any apps (except for iwork and office) and i dont have a lot of music or pictures, if you know something about this please let me know!!.

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Performance problem with Mavericks.

Performance problem with Mavericks. My Mac is extremly slow after upgrading to Mavericks. What can i do to solve that?

If you are still experiencing slow down issues, it maybe because of a few other reasons.
Our experience with OS X upgrades, and Mavericks is no exception, is that users have installed a combination of third party software and/or hardware that is incompatible and/or is outdated that causes many negative performance issues when upgrading to a new OS X version.
Your Mac's hard drive maybe getting full.
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Commercial Antivirus software can slow down and negatively impact the normal operation of OS X.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Your Mac may have way too many applications launching at startup/login.
Your Mac may have old, non-updated or incompatible software installed.
Your Mac could have incompatible or outdated web browser extensions, plugins or add-ons.
Your Mac could have connected third party hardware that needs updated device drivers.
It would help us to help you if we could have some more technical info about your iMac.
If you so choose, please download, install and run Etrecheck.
Etrecheck was developed as a simple Mac diagnostic report tool by a regular Apple Support forum user and technical support contributor named Etresoft. Etrecheck is a small, unobstrusive app that compiles a static snapshot of your entire Mac hardware system and installed software.

Has it occurred to you that CS3 isn't compatible with Mavericks? Try using CS9 or 10.
Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

Three Problems with Mavericks

I have three problems with Mavericks:
1. I can't create a Downloads Folder or any folder in the dock. The folder is replaced with documents ONLY. When I create an alias, it's replaced with a question mark unless I leave another alias in my user folder?
2. I have a second monitor hooked up to my MBP, but when I enter Time Machine, a large solid black rectangle overlays and blocks the Time Machine backup info screen?
3. I downloaded a Filemaker update and received "Filemaker can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I think the workaround was to push Control or Option to Open, but now the file keeps reappearing on my desktop after it's been installed, trashed and the computer restarted. Other trashed files and logs are also popping up in my user folder, long after they've been deleted...very strange. Any suggestions to any of these problems?

I'm researching this and other issues with SMB - you might find this post useful

It seems your connections from Windows (or perhaps from any user connecting via SMB - perhaps including home shares via SMB?) need to specify DOMAIN\user (eg SERVERNAME\user)... more info at the post above.

OneNote 2013 throwing error: There is a problem with your account. Please try again later on Windows 8.1

Hi
I had Windows 8 installed on my corporate laptop till last week and as the OS crashed, I have re-installed the system with 8.1 and it has Office 2013 installed with my corporate ID. It is signed in Corporate credentials by default. But when I am trying to
use Switch Account option and trying to login with my Microsoft ID to sync my notebooks, it throws an error : "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
Note that My Microsoft is active and i am able to access the pages online.
Pls help with me with a resolution

Hi Raj_Tan,
Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
From the description I understand that you're having problems signing into OneNote 2013 with your Microsoft account and that it's giving you an error: "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later". You mentioned you are able to
access the pages online.
Could you please try the following:
Check if you are able to login to other office apps with your Microsoft account.
Check if you are able to login to the OneDrive app using your Microsoft account.
Try emptying all saved passwords from the credential manager:

Although this link applies to Windows 7, the process is the same in Windows 8.

Are any patches in the works to correct problems with Maverick

Is apple trying to correct problems with Maverick?

Remember there should be NO OTHER APPLICATIONS RUNNING when you do an update or Upgrade.
It really should not matter for an OS upgrade or update if other apps are running when you begin. All the actual installing of files is done by the system user (also known as root or superuser) after all regular users are logged out, which of course terminates all user processes.

HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.
