Screen trouble with maverick

Since installing Mavericks I have had trouble with the monitor and/or QuickTime7. Sometimnes a movie goes into a flurry and must a) close the movie and open it again or b) close QT and reopen program. And sometimes the whole screen goes into a flurry and I have to force quit and restart. Thought there was just some update coming soon for the screen and/or fglash/java, but nothing has happened, and this NEVER happened with Mountain Lion…

Do you have Google Drive installed? If so, remove it. It has been found to cause problems like what you describe in Mavericks.

Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

I too have upgraded four of my Macs to Mavericks and had no problems at all with any of them. One of the flaws of discussion groups is that one gets a skewed idea of the number of problems that users have because it is human nature to complain about something, whilst the majority of users who don't have a problem seldom bother to remark on this fact!
I, like most of the successful upgraders here, always follow a simple routine that involves firstly backing up, then (if upgrading multiple Macs) creating a bootable drive with the updater on, using Disk Utility or similar to repair permissions before upgrading the OS. I never use the Mac when upgrading and close all the programs and disconnect all external drives, save for the one with the updater on.
Following this routine means that I have never had a problem with an update since OS 7.5 on any of my 16 odd Macs. Of course, smugness always comes before a fall...!

Endless Trouble with Mavericks

I've had to move my HP printer frequently between locations. I have struggled endlessly setting up, and using my Deskjet 3050 610a with Mavericks on my Mac. I have spent hours searching the HP & Apple forums & support pages for workarounds which either do not work or work inconsistently. The issues have ranged from wireless connection, to installing the printer on computer, to getting the scan to work. The latest, missing "Scan Save" from printer webpage, is just the latest in the string of endless frustrations.
Would someone please just tell me, if HP/Apple will ever release software & drivers? And, please don't tell me Apple Update takes care of the updates, because the drivers are supposedly up to date, but obviously not functional.
It has been six months since release of Mavericks, and I am seriously wondering if any HP printers will ever work - as they did before Mavericks - on my Mac.

If you can use a computer which runs Windows or older versions of Mac, you can connect the printer wirelessly. Then afterwards add your printer onto your Mavericks system.

Trouble with Maverick, lost everything on MBP upgrade?

Im not sure what to do next, and afraid I may have lost everything a moment ago
so would really appreciate some help at the moment.
-- Last night I started downloading the Maverick upgrade from app store, woke up and pushed the button to start the install.
-- The screen was showing the green bar at the end stage of the install for an hour, even though it was saying "less than a minute remaining"...
-- I didn't know what to do, so I abandoned without thinking and shut down => restarted => now the computer is taking me through the steps as it did when I first bought the computer.
-- Im afraid I may have wiped the system clean when I aborted the install (?)
-- I started going through the steps, but then stopped when I realized what was happening. Shut down again, restarted in "safe mode" but still getting the set-up (choose your main language) welcome page.
What can I do to get my data back? I moved over to an iMac recently so havent been backing it up with time machine, have a few very important files on the desktop that I would really like to try and recover...
I know this was lame to not have a backup.
Any advice from any of the pros out there,
please help!

Hi, I had exactly the same situation.
Yesterday I managed to reinstall without loosing any data.
I did following:
1) I have installed Maverick OSX once again to external HDD. I pressed CMD-R when booting and selected second option Reinstall OSX and have chosen external drive.
Then I booted from external HDD and WAS ABLE to access all my data on internal HDD. So I did BACKUP and copied them all out to ext HDD.
2) I removed external HDD with backup and pressed CMD-R during restart. I have selected again second option to Reinstall OSX (this time on internal HDD). Everything went smoothly (except the last minute was much longer, but don't panic again - shame on Apple) after installation has completed and did natural reboot I had all my profiles and all my data ready in computer. No need to restore anything from backup

Trouble with Maverick install

Trouble downloading and installing Maverick on Mac Pro. Computer is from 2007 and running snow leopard Mac OS X (10.6.8)- seems ot have plenty of available space and memory...

There are ways to get Mountain Lion or Mavericks onto a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro. Some are discussed at xlr8yourmac.com.
Do you have a specific need for Mavericks? I am running it wirh caution on only one drive, until the various bugs are addressed. Still using Snow Leopard for everything that matters.
If you are worried about the lack of security updates for Safari 5, just use something else. Current versions of Firefox or Chrome work in Snow Leopard.

ITunes trouble with Maverick update

Trouble with Maverick

I can not use my Aperture or Photoshop programs since upgrading to Maverick. They will open, but as soon as I try to work on a photo, they quit and shut down. Anyone else have this problem? If so, how did you rectify it?

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Trouble with Mail and Maverick

Trouble with Maverick and Mail - contacts (groups) will not load into address bar in mail.

Check that the mac's preferences for icloud is still connected to the proper account. Be sure photo stream is turned on.
You haven't described what "trouble" your mail account has.

I have several issues since I upgrade to mavericks 2 weeks ago. Graphic Artifacts on screen and trouble with the finder (sometimes not responding). .

Imac 21.5 pouces, mi-2011 - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 - 4 Go 1333 MHz DDR3 - AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 Mo - OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Everything was perfect before (when I was on lion). Now I have problems with mavericks (like many other people) and I regret my upgrade ... I hope Apple will provide system update to correct all this.

One thing I consider interesting from your post is that you are not using the OS X Mavericks version released in the Mac App Store last month. Instead, you are using the OS X Mavericks Golden Master, which is 13A598. The final OS X Mavericks version is 13A603.
Looking at this, the best thing you can do (as you said) is to reinstall OS X, so you can get the final OS X Mavericks version. As you are going to do this, this is the best time to erase the hard drive.
You can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery (holding Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up). Erase the hard drive with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Then, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. Your Mac should be working properly.
Make a backup of your files before erasing the hard drive. I recommend you to copy your most important files to an external drive and restore them manually, apart from reinstalling all your applications manually.
Apart from that, I see that Firefox is taking up 1 GB of RAM on your Mac and that you have only got 291 MB of free RAM, which may be the issue

Connect the device to iTunes and restore from the most current backup.
If the issue continues, restore as new.

After upgrading to Mavericks, I am having trouble with TimeMachine backups.

After upgrading to Mavericks, I am having trouble with TimeMachine backups. As the backups get close to completion, it suddenly increasing the amount of data being backed up. My 400GB data takes up about 700GB on the backup drive.
Tried reformatting the backup disk and had the same result.

Yosemite installed on iMac purchased with Mavericks now takes 2 minutes to boot and give the login screen.

Downloaded and installed os x yosemite on iMac that was purchased originally with Mavericks. When power button is pressed I get start up audio tone and then the the black screen with the white apple symbol with the progression bar. The bar moves very slowly two about one third and then the mouse cursor appears and there it stalls for around two minutes. After the wait the login screen appears and it operates normally. This whole process before update would only take maybe 30 seconds.
If I try the web recovery process it will revert back to Mavericks any suggestions on what this might be. I do have an external Mac passport pro external drive that does have time machine enabled and has been there for months.
Thanks

After spending a number of hours with Apple Care personnel I was connected with a supervisor and finally got the iMac to boot up on every attempt and in a reasonable amount of time. Login screen now comes on in 30 to 40 seconds and computer is usable within a total time of 1 minute to 1minute 30 seconds.
Here was the process. Tried to download whole operating system with reinstall from utilities menu at power on and at 7 hours progress bar stalled at one third the way. Reason, time machine external hard drive was still connected during process. Disconnected all external connections except power and tried download again. This time whole operating system downloaded in 15 to 20 minutes. Yosemite installed and rebooted automatically and booted to login screen, signed in then to desktop, but boot took around five minutes. Shutdown and connected all peripherals, i.e.. ext. HD, DVD, printers and tried to start. iMac stalled at 2 minutes into progression bar with white apple symbol before login screen. Removed peripherals and tried again and still stalled and would not boot.
What was done to correct is as follows. Started iMac in Safe Mode, cleared all items in cache from Macintosh HD/Library folder and System /Library folder, system start up items, launch agents, and launch daemons contents cleared, removed printers in system preferences, ran disk utilities verify and repair of disk and disk permissions. Shutdown and removed power from iMac. With no peripherals system then booted normally. Reconnected peripherals while iMac was still on and added printers back to system preferences and all is well.
So it seems only reasonable that the downloading problem was hindered by the time machine external hard drive, to which an Apple rep. agreed and the extremely slow boot up or stalled boot up was caused by items in the start up and launch folders. I will state here that I was using my ISP's anti virus software for the Mac which was in the launch folders and most likely was causing the boot up problems.

Hi i am havin trouble with my ipad after i have downloaded a game and have been playing for a while it seems to of diapeared and the screen goes a white blank background there is nothing on the screen at all so i switch it off and back on and it is white

hi i am having trouble with games on my ipad as i have been playing them the screen goes white and i can't play the game i go back to the game centre on the ipad and click on the icon for the game and come up to play i push play buton and the screen come up again white so any body had the same problem could they let me no thanks

Quit the game and restart the iPad.
To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work 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.

I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.
Help here > A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
