Problems with osx mavericks

I download the new OS Mavrick two days ago.
Since, I have problems with mailbox, first, and the laptop turns off sometimes (last one, with 55% battery).
Has anybody idea of what is happening?
Thanks,
Jean

Apple doesn't seem to know how to "fix what's wrong".
I spent about an hour yesterday with Apple Tech Support. No solution.
I had a mbp running Mountain Lion and iPhoto 8.1.2. Perfect harmony.,
I purchased a new mbp from Apple, running Mavericks. It has iPhoto 9.5.1 on it.
When I started up iPhoto, it told me that my previous iPhoto library was not compatible and that I needed to "upgrade my iPhoto database"
I click on that link, and iPhoto stops responding.
Tech support walked me through various attempts at solving this problem, but all attempts failed.
After about an hour, neither the original tech nor the supervisor who took over had figured out what to do.
They told me that, as a last resort, they could save the photos in my old library and be able to use them with iPhoto 9.5.1, but I would lose all the organization (albums, folders). How is that acceptable, Apple? It's a big deal to me. They kept telling me that this was a very unusual case, but if you google "mavericks iphoto problem" you'll see lots of other people having Mavericks/iPhoto issues. They told me that I had a corrupted iPhoto database, but that database works just fine in Mountain Lion with iPhoto 8.1.2.
Supervisor is supposed to call me Sunday afternoon to follow up on this ....

  • Problems with OSX Mavericks after security update 23 april 2014

    So I ve just updated the latest security update of osx mavericks and i get a really annoying problem.

  • Problems with OSX Mavericks - How do I return to previous operating system?

    I installed OS X Mavericks on my iMac. Now Safari, Mail, iPhoto, basically all software, hangs up as soon as it is opened. Nothing runs.
    Also I have this constant request for keychain password which I haven't set up. I tried the fix I found online, but as soon as I click on "mail preferences" Mail hangs up and I have to force quit the program.
    I have re-installed this software 3 times now. It has not functioned properly yet. Thank goodness Firefox still works.
    Any solutions out there?

  • Webmail problems with osx mavericks

    hi,
    since upgrading to mavericks i have problems using my work microsoft webmail on both safari and chrome – on chrome the pop-up window to add attachments no longer works; on safari it barely works (i have to open the attachment pop up twice before i can upload an attachment), where it also keeps crashing. outlook webmail light is not an option...i just want to get my outlook webmail to how it was before with mountain lion!
    please can anyone assist?

    We've been expereincing a similar thing:
    first attempt brings up a standard looking OS X file choosing dialog box which does nothing after you pick a file
    the 2nd attempt brings up the expected OWA attachment chooser dialog box and we can then attach normally
    We've told our users to switch to Firefox/Chrome (or enjoy attaching things twice).
    Have you seen any solutions?

  • A sign in problem with OSX Mavericks

    Every time I start the computer I have to sign in again. I do not need this protection and how can I change this to what I had before?

    I was a a little too hasty. Several times after your latest, I had to go back to reenter the info I entered since the computer make me sign in to start again. (this even after I relocked the changes.) Then another problem arose. I always just put the Mac to sleep and don't completely turn it off. For the last two times I cannot get it to wake up and have to shut it off and start all over again. I now wish I never downloaded this new OSX.
    Any ideas about this?

  • Sharing problem from OSX mavericks to windows 7

    I want to acces a windows 7 shared folder with my mac. I have schared the windows folder and have given full permission to evereyone.
    The workgroup name, login and pasword are the same on the MAC and Windows 7 PS.
    I have don a ping test and the result was ok, i've tested with another windows pc and i could connect to the shared folder, just with OSX mavericks it will not work.
    What could be the problem?

    I think Apple disabled the Internet sharing, I have a Airport Express and was sharing my internet with my other boxen that need a Ethernet cable to download wifi drivers and one software update later it just stopped.
    I think I saw that theory posted elsewhere on the internet. I would think that it would be some software bug rather than Apple giving a no-go to sharing over an adhoc.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.

  • Can't install Flash Player on Mac with OSX Mavericks

    Hi I have a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks and I have tried to install then uninstall the Flash Player and each time a box pops up and says the application quit unexpectely. I hvae tried this several times with no luck. Any suggestions?

    On my MacBook Pro I have the same problem, it says that Flash isn't installed, but Flash is working perfectly fine in Chrome?
    That's because Chrome has its own proprietary Flash Player embnedded by Google. There are instructions for a thorough "clean install" here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084 if the regular clean install won't work.

  • My Keynote does not work on my MacBook Pro with OsX Mavericks. It opens though, but then is stuck, menu does not react. What to do?

    I have Keynote 6.1 and run it on a MacBookPro with OsX Mavericks. I can start Keynote, but I cant access the menu, it is stuck. What to do?

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store, it will be updated to the latest verion which is 6.2
    let us know if this helped.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

    Hi DCG,
    hope oyu had a great christmas.
    I posted the post you reference on June 11, 2013.
    Since then a lot of things have happened. We released 9.5.4 several weeks ago, which seems to work fine for everybody under Mavericks.
    We also posted an update for version 10 that makes it Mavericks compatible and afterwards released an update that fixes most issues reported.
    So please try 10.0.2 or 9.5.4 on Mavericks, they should both work fine: http://www.quark.com/de/Support/Downloads/Search_Results.aspx?pid=1&oid=2&ftid=2

  • I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

    I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

    Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
    I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...).  I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
    From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images.  Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
    Peace

  • Can I set up a ps3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

    I cant find any thing on the net about this. Does any one here know how I might set up my PS3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
    Try control - clicking on it and see if you get an open option. If not, go to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General and set it to 'Allow apps downloaded from' anywhere. For safety, you might want to change it back to something more secure.
