Safari for Mavericks doesn't work since upgrade.
Since I did an 'all upgrade' mid-June 2014, Safari is too annoying to use. It just gives me the Top Site pages every time I open, won't load my web archive pages or anything else. (It will load a site if I've closed it as a 'faorced quit and reopened - and then can sometimes get it to do an 'open in new tab' from the reading list only if online, otherwise only does 'top sites'. It All started when I realised it wasn't letting me see any of my downloaded reading lists (watched the download progress so know it did that). I've tried changing all sorts of things (just about everything once then checking ou and in again includng clearing cache etc. in preferences but basically it doesn't accept anything and just defaults back no matter what!
Gave up and using Firefox for this but would much prefer to use Safari if it will only work as it used to - maybe that alway meant it Never let me access reading list offline?
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally 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, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Istat Pro "Processes" doesn't work since upgrade to OS X 10.8.2
Ever since I upgraded the OS to 10.8, the istat Pro widget on the dashboard doesn't list anything but a stack of empty white squares under "Processes". Is this a known bug?
Thanks CT! Here are the steps from the macrumors.com link:
Steps:
1. Locate your widget, it will be under /Library/Widgets or ~/Library/Widgets
2. Right click it and select: "Show Package Contents"
3. Open Wide.js or Tall.js file in some editor (Wide is for horizontal view, Tall for vertical)
4. Locate the line
Quote:
WideSkinController.prototype.updateProcesses = function(){
var _self = this;
var exclude = "";
if(p.v("processes_excludewidgets") == 'on')
exclude = " grep -v DashboardClient | "; if(p.v("processes_sort_mode") == 'cpu')
widget.system('ps -arcwwwxo "pid %cpu command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
else
widget.system('ps -amcwwwxo "pid rss command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
Change "PID|$1" to "PID| $1" (Add space before $ sign)
5. Save the changes
6. remove widget and re-add it Dashboard, and it should be fixed -
Airdrop doesn't work since upgrading to Yosemite
Hi,
My wife and I have an MBP each, both running Yosemite with all available patches. If we open airdrop on our macs we both see each other. If I drag a file over her in airdrop and drop it, nothing happens. She doesn't get a prompt and nor do I, the file doesn't seem to appear on her computer either.
If she sends me a file however, it works as expected.
Before Yosemite when I did this it would bring up a bubble asking if I wanted to send, I'd click it, she'd click the bubble asking if she wants to receive it and the file would appear.Hello nzgeek,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like AirDrop works in one direction but not in both on one computer. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

You won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.

Scanning with HP Photosmart B110 doesn't work since upgrade to 10.6.5
I have a problem here on my HP Photosmart B110a: I can no longer scan via my iMac since I upgraded to 10.6.5. Same story on my MacBook Pro with 10.6.5
I do have an older MacBook still on 10.6.4 which can still scan, so it's clearly an issue in 10.6.5
This printer is a wireless printer, but I tried both via USB and wireless with the same result.
Anyone else with the same problem, and hopefully a solution?Yes, I experienced this issue today, too
And it does not depend on having a USB or a wireless connection to the printer.
Until either HP or Apple (or someone else) comes out with a fix, the quickest workaround to scan should be to use the printed embedded browser controlled scanning-feature. Just browse to the IP-address (or local name) of your printer. Quite amazing, what this tiny piece of plastic has to offer ...

AFTER UPGRADING TOMOUNTAIN LION SAFARI 6.0 DOESN"T WORK HOW CAN I REPLACE IT OR UPGRADE IT?
An answer will require more specific information of the problems you are experiencing Mpittas2.
In general, if you installed any third party anti-virus utilities, get rid of them. They can cause problems like this.
There is no need to post your question multiple times. If you don't get an answer right away give it some time, a few hours at least, and please deselect your caps lock key. This will increase the likelihood of receiving competent assistance.

Compressor 4 doesn't work since I installed Mavericks and I can't export a video normally on FCPX either.
Can someone help me?
Thank you!Got the phone direct from the Apple website, so I assume it was unlocked, and it had been on giffgaff ever since but I don't see why that's a problem?
The carrier was automatically selected as Free and is up to date.
There seemed to be no problem that the SIM was being used in an iPhone 4 and my friends in exactly the same situation (e.g. arriving in France and moving over to the Free network with iPhone 4's) have had zero problems with their 3G network; it just seems to be me.
The Free Mobile Network is included on this list which I guess means that they are Apple-approved? iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
How do I find out whether or not I would need to manually configure an APN? I'm not even sure I know what that is. -
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

My mac IS up to date.
No reason it should have stopped working. Maybe a problem waiting to happen and an upgrade pushed it over the edge. Provide some specs on your Mac, but I would really advise making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
Good Luck

My Microsoft Word for Mac hasn't worked since I downloaded the upgrade to Yosemite. Documents can't be saved, edited or closed
Hi There,
I have similar issues with the whole MS Office solution since I "upgraded' towards Yosemite:
when I use Cmd+W or the "close" menu option to close a Word file, Word crashes down (I always send a message to Microsoft but I guess this is more related to Yosemite or to its installation; consequence is it become very difficult to close a file, as it re-opens it the next time :-(
same thing for Excel and PowerPoint
When I try to save in PDF format a Word file containing several sections, it produces one PDF file per section - wasn't before Yosemite
Excel crashes down much more often than before because of lack of memory
Well, if someone has a suggestion, I would be grateful, 'cause it is becoming actually boring - and counter-productive !
