Screen saver will only display Flury option.  After upgrading to Mavericks I had many Apple pictures in my screen savers folder.  I deleted them and found that Flury was the only screen saver that functioned.

Screen saver in Apple prefrences will only recognise Flury as an option.  Any attempted to change the screen saver selection results in a lock up of Apple screen saver prefrences.  Forced shut down will clear the lock up, but dos not solve the problem.  I updated Iphoto and repaired permissions. Neither solved the problem.

I found a fix.  In the ~library/preferences/byhost directory.  My directory had a broken link.  I deleted it.  Rebooted.  The folder came back with various files and I was able to change my screensaver!  Good luck.

  • Mail displays blank messages after upgrading to mavericks

    In Mail some, but not all emails display with no content at all. This is extremely frustrating and embarrassing when I have to tell my clients I can't read my email!
    Has anyone else got this? Is there a solution?
    Thanks

    I have worked it out a bit.
    I can now read my emails.
    The problems only occurred to emails with rules applied to them, and the particular client I was having issues with was nested within another folder.
    I had done some housekeeping and moved all my filtered clients emails into a parent folder named 'clients' with all subfolders within named after the particular clients.
    I have now dragged the child folders out of the parent folder and can now read my emails. I have no idea why it caused these problems, I have a 'suppliers' parent folder with supplier child folders within and they're all visible.
    Frustrating, but at least I can do some work now…

    Core i7 Dual Core 2.7 GHz
    4GB RAM 1333 MHz

    Now I come to questions:
    1) If I upgrade to Mavericks from App Store drictly, my BootCamp drive (and windows) will be deleted?
    2) If the answer for item 1 is YES, will I be able to install windows again?
    3) Any probable issue which I can face during installation?
    Thanks All in Advance,

  • After upgrade to Mavericks I can do Time Machine backups but I cannot have access to them

    After upgrading my iMac 20" (early 2008) from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I can backup with Time Machine and I can see that the copies have been made. But when I enter to Time Machine mode, all these copies in the right bar goes from pink to translucent in some few seconds, and I cannot have access to them.
    I have a dedicated external 400GB HD for the copies, formated in Mac Os Plus, and I can go there and open, copy, etc. any file "manually", so, the copies are right (I guess).
    Any idea about why I cannot "go back" in Time Machine, although it "sees" the disk, and the copies exist?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Safari not displaying pages correctly after upgrade to Mavericks

    Hi, I just upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2010) to Mavericks and safari now displays web pages as if I was really zoomed in. When I load a page I will see it correctly for a second and it will then zoom in (no amount of pinch on my trackpad solves the problem). I can cmd - a few times to get it back to a normal display size, but I need to do it for every tab I open. When I open chrome, everything displays properly. Any Idea on what could cause this problem? Thx in advance
    Sorry if I am not posting to the right forum, kinda new here

    Try holding the control key and using a 2 finger swipe up or down (direction depends on how you have the track pad set) and see if you may inadvertently done zoom from this, it is different from a pinch zoom

  • Pages '08 will not open .doc documents after upgrading to Mavericks

    Since updating to Mavericks Pages '08 will not open .doc documents even when created with Pages.

    I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.
    Starting with the file extension on the Word files.
    You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
    Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?

  • After upgrading to Maverick my apple wireless keyboard battery drain too quickly (30% in 1 day)

    Just as the topic's tittle, after upgrading to Maverick, along with many small errors, keyboard battery draining is by far the most not-so-pleasuring thing to deal with. My keyboard used to consume roughly a few battery percent per week. After the OS upgrade, still with the same using habit, it went from 80% down to 60% the last week, and from 60% to 30% just yesterday. Does anyone else here get this and any solution please? Much appreciate it! Thank you!

    Software bugs are killing not only IT industry (just look the drop in PC sales, and also a new sharp drop in tablet sales!), but industry in general.
    The reason for this is very simple: wrong people are on wrong jobs. As simple as that.
    To introduce this kind of bug, the drain of keyboard battery after installing an "advanced" version 100 (or so) operating system, and have this kind of bug a Jimmy from 3rd grade would not had made, is beyond comprehension.
    I trace these kind of stupidities for at least 30 years. While Microsoft can be forgiven as they started it all with a poorly conceived operating system foundation by a few teenegers and later it was impossible to go back to square one, the Apple on the other hand had all things available to them beautifully: the most advanced, architecturally, operating system foundation - Unix. And they failed too. They put an awkward GUI lipstick on that beautiful Unix operating system, with a lot, a LOT of bugs!?
    Again: the reason for all of this is that throughout the decades and decades, the wrong people were put on the wrong jobs. Nowadays VERY small percentage of educated people work on software systems development. There are no computer scientists, computer engineers, electrical engineers, software engineers anymore working for those companies like Apple. Throughout the decades of mis-management they had been replaced by all sorts of inadequate occupations: sociologists, psychologists, English majors, shoe salesmen, even Preachers .
    And the result we see: a never ending stream of stupidities like this one. If chimpanzees had spent all this time, all these intangible and tanglible investments, on creating operating systems I assure you they would do a MUCH better job than these dilletants

  • TS1702 I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function  help", it starts to load the "help" then quits  this happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5

    2/3/14: I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function  help", it starts to load the "help" then quits. It happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5. I tried restarting the devices but it didn't help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Restart your phone, and if you can connect it to a computer and update it from iTunes instead of through wifi.

  • 20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

    20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).
    Hello Apple! Anybody there? How long does your community have to wait for a solution?
    The same problem has been unsolved for months now. No statements from Apple either.
    I was told today to wait for 10.8.3. This might solve the issue. I can not belive my ears.
    My MacBookPro 4,1, Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GHz Processor and Graphics chip: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, will not talk to the exter. 20" Cinema Display ( Model Number A1081 ). The screen stays black. Resetting the PRAM did not help. I removed the 'com.apple.windowserver.plist' and the 'com.apple.windowserver.OE35739etc,etcxxxxxxxxxxx.plist', but that did not help either.
    Any other solutions, or do I have to downgrade or give up on Apple Computers alltogether after using them for over 25 years?

    I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?fnode=51
    When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks App store only works for me when I switch over other users

    After upgrading to Mavericks, the only options that work for me on App Store are Updates and Purchases, anything else only works if I switch my user either to guest or root? Any idea?  Thx in advance. 

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit the App Store application if it’s running.  Wait at least 10 seconds before continuing.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Caches/com.apple.storeagent
    Caches/storeagent
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit again and wait 10 seconds. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and post your results.
