Problems with "Printers & Scanners" preference pane under Mavericks

Since installing OS X Mavericks I can no longer print to our WiFi enabled Epson WF-7515 network printer, and attempting to access the "Printers & Scanners" preference pane in System Preferences either produces a Preferences Error which reads "Could not load Printers & Scanners preference pane", or gives a corrupt version of the preference pane which then in turn leads to a different Preferences Error reading "There was an error in Printers & Scanners preference pane".
* Restarting in Safe Mode gives same results.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the Trash.
Theb visit the Epson website. Download and install v10.9 Mavericks compatible printers.
Then open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Then click + to add the printer.

Printing problem with iPhoto 9.5.1 under Mavericks 10.9.3

When trying to print even a single photo from iPhoto, the printer hangs after competing about 10% of the job.
The printer is an HP Deskjet F4580. It still works fine from other apps.

The printer.
iPhoto is still active and I can do other things with it. The job has been sent tothe printer so I guess it's the printer where the problme lies, or the communication between the Mac and the printer (which is wireless, though that shouldn't make a difference).

Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.

I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

I am having problems with my 3D preferences, all I can see is "Get more content" and " 3D Print Utilities"

I am having problems with my 3D preferences, all I can see is "Get more content" and " 3D Print Utilities"

That means either your graphics card does not support 3D or that there is a problem with your graphics drivers. See if your GPU maker has an update.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.

Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.

Double-Click speed with new TrackPad preference pane

I have an original white MacBook. Ever since I updated to 10.5.6 with the new Trackpad preference Pane no matter where I set the Double-click speed setting (everywhere from slow to fast) I constantly get a double click event even when I single click the track pad. Prior to 10.5.6 the trackpad worked perfectly. Has anyone else noticed different behavior since the update? Any solution to getting the correct double-click speed to stick?

I've got a similar problem, but in the opposite direction.
After the 10.5.6 update, my double click speed sticks to slow.
I can change it and make it faster, but after every boot, it starts up with a slow speed again.

Security & Privacy preference pane Error Mavericks -- NOT WORKING

Please Help!
I get this very worring error in Mavericks, which I just installed

Our preference panes seem to be identical.
There are two other things you might want to investigate:
1) Although this is unlikely, look in /Library/PreferencePanes to see if for some reason there might be another copy of Security.prefPane.
2) Another possibility may be that a settings file is corrupted. One such file seems to be in your account's Library folder. In the Finder hold down an "option" key while you pull down the "Go" menu, then select "Library". In the resulting window open "Preferences". Find the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist. With System Preferences not running, drag that file to the Desktop. Then see if you can access the Security & Privacy panel.

System Preferences Crash with Rapport & DivX Preferences Panes

Hello.
MacBook Pro Late 2008 / Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz / 8 BG RAM / Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I am experiencing a problem with the interaction between the Mac System Preferences (v7.0) and two installed Preferences Panes (Rapport by Trusteer and DivX). When I open either the Rapport or DivX preferences pane I receive the following message.
To use the "Rapport -or- DivX" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.
(Cancel) (OK)
This was working fine until recently. I would click "OK" and System Preferences would quit and reopen in the appropriate mode for the Rapport or DivX preferences pane. But, now when I click "OK" System Preferences quits and never reopens (crashes). Rapport and DivX are the only installed preferences panes experiencing this problem. This is also happening on other Macs as well with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and Lion (10.7.4) OS - MacBook and iMac (2009 models).
I have contacted Support for both DivX and Trusteer (Rapport) and they are looking into the problem - no solution yet.
Here is a screenshot video showing the exact events and failure details. I could not insert a video in this post, so here is a public Dropbox link to download the video.

As regards DivX, download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

Back up problems with Time Machine since I have Mavericks

Since I upgrade to Mavericks Time Machine is not able to back up my MacBookPro.
Not only it is slow but it never ends.
Each time it seems to reach the end of the back up 150 or 200 mb are added to the amount to be saved.
Without end.
Before Maevroicks I had Montain Lion and it was fine.
With my iMac I have no probleme with Mavericks ????

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Problem with Gmail "unread mail" in OSX mavericks

Since updating to OSX Mavericks (and I installed all available upgrades/patches as they came out) I have had a problem with getting my Gmail to sync across various devices. I have a macbook air as well as the iMac, ipad and iphone. The problem is that with the two computers, emails received to my gmail account will appear "unread" even if I have previously accessed them on a different computer or device. It is as if Apple Mail is no longer able to differentiate from the Gmail server which emails I have opened and which I have not yet read, and I come home to an inbox full of dozens of messages I have already read and deleted that are sitting in my inbox again so I have to double-delete them. I cannot figure out which setting I need to change in order to correct this - I have never had a problem with this before upgrading the operating system and do not have "leave an unread copy on the server" or some similar setting activated in gmail, to my knowledge. The recenly released mail fix did not help.
thanks in advance for your advice.

Is anyone else having major performance problems with FMLE since the upgrade to Mavericks

OSX Mavericks seems to be having problems with streaming uploads in general, but in particular, I can not stream videos with FMLE at all. I tried it with my accounts at Ustream and Justin and they have the exact same results, with the stream pausing and going black after just a couple minutes. It doesn't seem to matter what my output settings are; this will happen even if it's set for extremely low bandwidth.
This did not happen when I was using Mountain Lion. I am almost certain the new OS is causing the issues, but I am not sure how or why, and am having trouble finding others with this problem.
Other programs I am using in conjunction with FMLE are CamTwist and Soundflower

I have problem streaming to twitch/justin.tv using Mavericks.
I've tried most of their FMS-servers without success. I get this loop:
Wed Oct 30 2013 01:53:58 : Primary - Re-establishing connection, attempt 1
Wed Oct 30 2013 01:53:59 : Primary - Reconnected to FMS/3,5,7,7009
Wed Oct 30 2013 01:54:04 : Primary - Network Status: NetConnection.Connect.Closed status
Wed Oct 30 2013 01:54:04 : Primary - Disconnected

Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

I am having problems with my system preferences freezing everytime it is opened

I have had this problem for months. and i want to know if there is something i can do without having to set up an appointment in store. Everytime i open my system preferences app, it freezes and i have to close it before i can even begin to do anything.....

That means either your graphics card does not support 3D or that there is a problem with your graphics drivers. See if your GPU maker has an update.

Problems with NI-488 cPCI adapter under QNX.

Hi Michael,
The problems that I am having with the NI 488 cPCI adapter are random, so
it is
very difficult to nail down where the problem lies. Sometimes the adapter
fails
the initialization sequence in the nitn_presence_check routine at various
points in the 4 tests that the driver performs. Other times, if the adapter
initialization passes, the driver will loop in the nitn_wrtPIO with the
message
"waiting, isr3=0x4c" or "waiting, isr3=0x00". I have added a loop count to
the
routine so that it exits after 100 loops, but it still affects the driver
performance. I have had a similar problem with the nitn_wrt1byte routine.
I have been told that the driver works under Windows and Linux, but it
doesn't
work under QNX, and I have no idea why not, as I don't have any chip-level
documentation on the adapter. I will appreciate any help that you can give.
Thanks, Hugh.

Hi bearhug,
This post was a little confusing. Was it started in another thread and moved over to a new one accidentally? Since it appears that you have had some previous correspondence, I looked into the type of issue you are experiencing and it looks like Michael, one of our Applications Engineers, has an in-work service request related to it. If that is your service request, I would encourage you to contact him directly by calling 1-866-275-6964 and entering the service request number there. Please let me know if there has been some miscommunication.
Best regards,
