Since i upgraded to mavericks from 10.6.8, cd's won't play or import
all cd's are now ejected--- won't play, or even ask if i want to import.... went from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 in june... that's when this problem began. Went from 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 a few weeks ago, thinking it might fix the problem--- but it didn't. (currently have iTunes 11.3).... also, 2.66 ghz intel core 2 duo... 4gb 1067 mhz ddr3, if that helps...
Sorry your question lingered, tomscot77.
The format changes to the forums in July seem to have caused a lot of upper-level helpers to leave the building, so you are getting fewer eyes on the issue. Thank you for bumping--entirely justifiable in this case!
CDs still won't play or import.... DVDs will play,
That is often a symptom of a dirty optical drive. Why it decided to show up immediately after a system upgrade, I can't say.
Try a drive cleaning disk. They are typically US$5-15 at office superstores, computer shops, and home entertainment centers. It is surprising how often this simple act "wakes up" dead drives, even those pronounced dead by an Apple service professional.
Another thing: is this behavior the same for both commercial CDs as well as burned ones? If only burned disks fail, that is an important bit of evidence. Not all blank disks are created equal!

Since upgrading to Mavericks from time to time the focus for the cursor is misplaced when scrolling
Since upgrading to Mavericks, from time to time the focus for scrolling is misplaced. If I click into the list of emails, the mail message in preview scrolls. If I click into the mailboxes column, the list of emails in my inbox scrolls. Have anyone else seen this issue?

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10". -
I can no longer AirPrint to my Dell AIO Printer since I upgraded to Mavericks. Any suggestions??
Okay. That is a good result. It proves you have a working network connection between the Mac and the Dell.
So with the printer not showing using Bonjour, you could try adding the printer manually. With Printers & Scanners open, click the plus button to add and then select the IP icon. You can then enter the IP address of the Dell. Set the protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket. Leave the queue name blank. Change the Name from the IP address to Dell Wireless. Leave the Location blank and in the Use menu, select the model of Dell you have. Then click Add to complete the queue creation and then see if you can print. -
Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.
Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?
I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless. -

Safari won't load some images (after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion)
Hi,
I've noticed that since I upgraded my OS from Lion to Mavericks, Safari won't load all images on certain websites.
I've tried loading the same pages on my daughter's MacBookPro (she upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks) and everything works just fine.
We cross checked the Safari preferences and everything is identical.
Below are two pictures, the first one taken from my computer, the second one from my daughter's. As you can see, in the first photo the image won't display, while it's been perfectly loaded in the second photo.
Here's the website: http://blog.alice.tv/berengario/2013/11/16/trasmissione-su-arturo-tv/
I've tried opening the same page on Firefox, and all images are perfectly displayed.
Could you please help me?
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
LeoPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Since I upgraded to maverick, My iMac got sluggish specially when it wakes up and for instance, opening Iphoto. I suppose the new approach to more energy saving features could have something to do with this, but nevertheless, i wish I could choose to make it faster. Any clues?
When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
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.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard.
I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard. Since the slowness problem is that I don't have enough RAM, how do I get my MacBook Pro back to Snow Leopard?
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They also have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the minimum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Help! Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks 3 months ago, I could not anymore log in into my TD Easy Web. Can somebody help?
~AmyOnly your bank can tell you why your login is being rejected. Apple doesn't have acces to their servers. Are you certain you have the correct login credentials?
If so, make sure Keychain isn't loading an old password by deleting the password entries for your bank from your login keychain in Keychain Access. -

I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?
As an update: I was able to find my archived boxes and emails on my hard drive by doing this:
Open a Finder window.
Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
Type "~/Library/Mail/V2".
Once I was able to get my macmail working properly, most of my mailboxes appeared, however not all and only a few recent emails are in a few of the boxes.
I really need to move the emails from the archive back into my macmail. When I try to import using the mbox method, it doesn't recognize the .mbox even though they are .mbox. Other than re-emailing each individually to myself, I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to some easier solution?
