Screensaver not working since OSX Mavericks

My screensavers are not functioning correctly since upgrading to OSX Mavericks. I've switched screensavers and the times and they show they are functioning in the System Preferneces Menu. Also, if activate a hot corner where I have screensavers set it works fine. My power settings work fine as well and my system goes to sleep after an hour which is what I have it set at. Are there any fixes for the screensavers?

I think I've finally fixed this problem. I tried changing the delay time, I tried re-choosing the designated folder, and I even tried re-installing Mavericks and none of it solved the issue.
As a last resort I tried deleting the folder I keep my photos in for the screen saver and created a new one and it appears to working fine now (touch wood).

SanDisk USB 3.0 Card Reader does not work with OSX Mavericks.

Since updating to OSX Mavericks (10.9) My USB 3.0 SanDisk "ImageMate All-in-One" Card Reader has begun to fail.
It all seems to work proper at first. The memory card shows up in finder and I'm able to browse the files. But when I try to transfer any files it un-mounts from finder and only transfers the first file.
This does not happen under previous OSX versions. I have tried on other computers since, so the card reader is fine.
My USB 2.0 card reader saved my life this time. It works totally fine.
Is this a known problem? Are you guys working on it?

My built in isight camera is not working since loading mavericks

Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get the isight built in camera to work on my 27'' imac since I installed Mavericks. First noticed this when using skype but it also doesn't work on facetime either.
Any suggestions.
Thank you
Nick

If restarting Mac does not resolve the problem, use Disk Utility in OS X Revovery to repair your startup disk.
If the camera is still not working properly, follow Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
If the problem the problem continues after using all the above, the last thing you can try is to reinstall OS X 10.9.
If that fails, too, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Cursor not working on osx mavericks

On October 22 I updated my computer's operating system to osx mavericks. When I was still using OSX mountain Lion I had no cursor problems, actually I bragged about how good the mac's curosr was. When I installed OSX Mavericks I noticed this. I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue but please someone, HELP ME!!!
Note: When i use a mouse the curosr works fine.
Thanks!
Sincerely,

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

Printer presets not working in OSX Mavericks

Hi Apple community,
since upgrading to OSX Mavericks, the system printing dialog doesn't change the pre-set printing presets after selecting one of them. I made a screencast to show what I mean.
This is what I already treid:
- Deleting printer
- Re-installation of printer
- Deleting all presets
- New setup of all presets
How can I fix this issue???
Thanks!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. If there are any other files in the same folder with a name beginning in "com.apple.print.custompresets", move those too.
Log out or restart the computer. Create a custom preset and test. If there's no change, quit again and put each item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the items you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Microsoft Office 2011 not working with OSX Mavericks

Hello,
I downloaded OSX Mavericks within the past two or three days, and I've been able to use Microsoft Word just fine. I tried opening PowerPoint today and it crashed, so I updated the Microsoft Office package. Now, I cannot open anything but Messenger.

Went through this exact problem two weeks ago.
Basically, when I installed I then updated and only Word would open correctly. After calling the help desk and going through a ton of suggestions we got it to work by doing update 14.1.0 and then opening Word and updating to 14.1.2. This fixed my problem and it hasn't repeated... and I use the whole office suite daily.
IIRC it was the 14.1.2 update after 14.1.0 that did it, however you can call Microsoft support... just make sure you have about 45 minutes available if you have to do some serious troubleshooting if the two updates don't fix it for you. Keep in mind this worked for me so YMMV.

Screensaver not working since upgrading to Mavericks

As the title says my screensavers doesn't 'kick in' since upgrading to Mavericks at the weekend. I've tried reselecting my chosen photo folder but it still doesn't work. All it does is stay on the desktop screen. Has anyone else had this and know how to fix it?
I'm running an early 2012 (pre retina) MBP 15" with the "classic" style screensaver.
TIA

I think I've finally fixed this problem. I tried changing the delay time, I tried re-choosing the designated folder, and I even tried re-installing Mavericks and none of it solved the issue.
As a last resort I tried deleting the folder I keep my photos in for the screen saver and created a new one and it appears to working fine now (touch wood).

Hp scanjet g3010 not working in osx mavericks

I have an HP Scanjet G3010 that was working with Mt. Lion. After updating to Mavericks scanned images output to PDF show as black and white stripes. I have uninstalled the HP software and patches (which only go up to Lion) and reinstalled all HP software and patches and get the same results. Has anyone seen this and been able to find a work around. I tried the work around for the All-in-One HP devices, using the OS X Preview method, but that only crashes the HP scan software.

I found the solution here --> https://discussions.apple.com/message/23617392#23617392

Mail simply not working since installing maverick

I have tried everything. All the recommended fixes. I am not using a Gmail account but an old eircom account. I can see nothing, the app opens but then that's it.
If I could go back and uninstall this update I would.
I'm resorted to mail on my Iphone and can't access the stored mails on my laptop.
I need a magic wand here pronto...please

In fact, if you push the Option Key in the Finder and enter the upper menu "Go to" (i think it speel like this in english, my system is localized in germen, sorry), you will see an option "Library" appearing in the submenu. Just play a bit with it (push and release the Option Key while in the submenu) and you notice that something changes. It's the option "Library" appearing and disappearing. It's another way to get to the User Library, alternive to teh way i described.
I think your Mail Library is screwed. Here's on thing you could try, but depending on how many messages you have, it could be a big amount of work because you will have to reconfigure your accounts en import you old messages:
Quit Mail
Go to the User Library (CMD+Shift+G and paste following path: ~/Library/ or use the approach given by hands4)
Move, dont copy, the "Mail" folder to another place (like your desktop)
Open Mail. It will act as if no account is configured.
Configure all your accounts
Check if everything is working fine (in- and outgoing messages)
If everything is ok, go to "File"->"Import Mailboxes" (i think it spells like this in english)
In the appearing window, choose "Apple Mail" and click next
Now choose the Mail folder you relocated earlier
Let Mail import all the Messages
In Mail there will be an new Mailfolder "Import" or "Imported Mailboxes". If you browse it, you should find all your old messages.
Just reorder them and put them into the right place.
Let me know if that sorted it out for you...
Keep in mind: if it dont works, just replace the new Mail folder in the User Library with the one you relocated. It will revert Mail to the initial state. I suggest you then "copy" the relocated folder to the User Library, just in case, to have a backup.

After Effects CC not working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2

Hello.
Today I downloaded the trial version of After Effects CC and when I opened it I got this message.
I am really angry seeing that I need After Effects to do a project. Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks

Did you check system requirements? What else is running? If you have enough ram, enough screen resolution, and enough free space on your drive AE should run.
Something may be conflicting with AE. Did you try a re-boot?

Screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite

Hi,
My screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite on my macbook pro late 2008
Can't solve it by my self..

I had noticed I was having this issue too, and my screensaver never kicking in, and just going to sleep with it never kicking in.
I had gone in and checked to see if any of the settings had got changed or deleted in the system upgrade, but they were all still set at what I had them at prior... so, did as some attempted above also, and adjusted the times for it to kick in, and still nothing. Worked when I would hit 'Preview', but still not kick in at the interval time.
What I just did to get it to work, was just to simply go into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver, and just reselected the folder of images that I want to be used, in my case, a folder of images in my iPhoto. And it now works.
Apparently, it wasn't working, because, even though it was still selected to use that folder in iPhoto, something must have changed in the upgrades, which might of had something to to with the iPhoto update too, where it had to update my iPhoto library upon relaunch... and my screensaver settings were set to access that older directed to folder within Library, that was updated in the new release... and so, just repointing it to that folder now in iPhoto, got it to work.
At least, that is my figurin', and I'm stickin' to it!
