Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why?

Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why? Also, iTunes is horrible. While I'm listening to my music iTunes will just stop playing the song for at least 5 minutes and I can't force quit why does it do that? This is the first time I have ever felt like my iMac is just as bad as a PC and I wonder if Steve Jobs would have let the program be relase to the public with all the problems involved. No wonder Maverick was free. IT ***** BIG TIME!

Hello, vanvu.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Since you are experiencing this issue with both a wired and wireless connection only on your home network and not at other locations, this issue would related to your router. I would first recommend power cycling the router and testing the connection again. If the issue persists, try updating your routers settings per the article below.

Thank you very much! Worked! Appreciate the help.

Since downloading Rosemite I have had long delays in starting up my iMac ?

I downloaded Yosemite on my iMac on 20.10.14 and have been experiencing long delays in starting up each day ?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the 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.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes   after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract—not at the end.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A GPU restart report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".gpuRestart". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Since installing Mavericks, I have experienced frequent "freezes" in which I can do nothing but power down.

I downloaded Mavericks about 3 months ago. Eversince I have been experiencing frequent system "freezes" not always accompanined by the spinning color ball. When this occurs I can do nothing but power down.
Also another issue: After shutting down and opening numbers I get the message that updates are available.. When I go the Apple store it tells me there are no updates available I am using Numbers 09 version 2.1. I thought when I downloaded Mavericks I got the latest version, but apparently not.

When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.

Since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this?

since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this? (my first post ever)

I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
Imagine:
this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
I must go this evening.
Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
true or not?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page. Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

Problems with Photoshop CS4 since downloading Mavericks

Since downloading Mavericks, Photoshop CS4 is not working correctly. Specifically, I have lost my Tools bar and many of my most useful Tools, including the main cursor. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

I have CS4 and have delayed upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion because of rumours of possible problems, have you tried the adobe help forums they may be able to help?

Since installing Maverick, I have not been able to load Bridge. Photoshop seems to be fine.

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

MacBook won't "wake up" from sleep mode since downloading Mavericks.

I have a 2008 MacBook and since downloading Mavericks, I've had a lot of issues when the computer is in "sleep mode." There are many times where it won't wake up and just remains a black screen. I'm forced to shut it down and turn it back on. When I do this, I have to login and it reloads everything I had had opened when it was put into sleep mode. Help! Thanks.

I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 2.4
Have you by any chance installed a new RAM?. I've just added new 8 GB RAMs & I noticed the issue afterwards, but I'm still not sure if it's the cause.

Since downloading Maverick

Since downloading Maverick, whenever I am in GB 11 (v 6.0.5) GB will not open a new Software Instrument track when I push the + icon or through the scroll down menu.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Duplicate track works fine,
New Instrument Track works fine
Guitar Track works fine
Software Instrument.... NOTHING.
Have tried everything to no avail.
I am assuming an OS issue?
If anyone has that experience please let me know.
Thank You

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
OS X Recover does require a broadband high speed internet connection.

Why suddenly has the ability to SCAN on my Epson XP305 home edition suddenly stopped SINCE DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

Since downloading Maverick, I am unable to scan as before using my Epson Home Edition XP305 printer/scanner

You probably need a new driver.

HT2486 since downloading mavericks my smart groups don't insert in mails.

since downloading mavericks my smart groups don't insert in mails.

Hi Colin
I dont know if this fixes your problem, but I found this article: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050616151738798
The main suggestion is this:
I was able to get around it in a simple but possibly not obvious way. First, make a smart group with your wanted criteria. Next make a regular group whose only member is the smart group. Presto! A smart group that you can use in Mail.app, and that will also auto-complete.
