<Edited by Host>

Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that  all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

  • Since installing Maverick my Mac Pro freezes at least once a day, any advice?.

    Since installing OS Maverick my Mac Pro is freezing at least once a day. I can not access 'Force Quit' via shortcut and have to force a shutdown. This has occured when using Firefox, so i tried Safari and Chrome, freezes using all three. It has happened while use software as well eg, Photoshop and Word.
    I have installed and run AVG Anti Virus and done a full system check to ensure that there was no virus etc.... all was clear.
    I am assuming that it is a bug within Maverick as i experienced none of these problems prior to its installation.
    Is anyone else experiencing these issues and does anyone have any advice on prevention?

    Firstly, uninstall any anti-malware software. It isn't needed and could cause your problem. Also, avoid using Chrome which can also cause problems. Never use more than one browser at a time. Using three is asking for disaster.
    I've been using Mavericks on all my computers and have had no problems, so what you describe is unlikely to be a bug. Start by uninstalling the AV software using their uninstaller. Disconnect all third-party peripherals. Then try the following:
    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Aperture 3 does not work well since installing Mavericks. Constantly have to repair the library database. Any suggestions?

    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently and also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library, which I have done multiple times. I also use Aperture for Photo Stream, and it is especially slow and problematic there. Any ideas? Should I just use iPhoto instead? I'm more familiar with the flow in Aperture and would need to learn how better to use iPhoto, so that would be a last resort for me.

    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion
    Aperture 3.5.1 is incompatible with Mt. Lion - you  must have had an earlier Aperture version running with Mt. Lion.
    also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library
    That message is prompted by the crashes. After a crash your library may need repairing.
    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently
    Is all your software compatible with Mavericks? Plug-ins, external editors, preference panes, device drivers, video codecs? Did you install any other software, when you upgraded to Mavericks?
    Where is your Aperture library? On your system drive or external drive?
    Does Aperture also crash, if you launch it while holding down the Shift key?

  • The silence switch is not working and apple say a new phone is only option, is this the case for such a minor component

    I have the iPhone 4 and it's working perfectly, I can switch on the do not disturb option but would prefer to have a repair of the mute switch. Apple store advise they don't repair and a new phone is only option!

    That is correct, Apple does not do repairs on parts, they will exchange the whole phone for the service fee:

    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

  • Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5.  They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else.  Some are PDFs.

    Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09.  The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out.  They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs.  As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error.  I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices.  I just want to be able to open my saved documents!  Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating.  I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade."  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
    To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
    Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
    Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
    Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
    As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
    If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
    To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
    When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

  • IMac running slow and frequently crashing since installing Mavericks. Any useful info in this log?

    Since installing Mavericks some time ago, applications have become slow to open, proccesses have slowed and, well, eveything has slowed down some. Also, almost every day, sometimes more than once, the iMac will freeze for a second, then reboot itself. I've tried searching for similar posts but haven't found an answer yet. I did open the console (which, I confess, I don't understand) and I'm getting lots of messages. But, as I've never checked before, I have no idea whether any of them are normal. Here's a small section:

    Thanks in advance for anyone's insight!

    Ok, so I think I got rid of everything you suggested, Arthur. No real improvement in speed, but the computer's four and a half years old, so...  I should just be satisfied if it doesn't crash every day. That would be an improvement. I'll have to wait a few days to see. I've run Etrecheck again just incase you see something else that might help. Thanks.

  • Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.

    Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.  I might be able to save the file if I do not try to select anything other folder than the current folder that opens (last opened).  I do not use the cover view option (I see some have had problems with that), but almost always have it in list view.
    Is there some setting I need to set or is there a fix for this somewhere?
    Also, is it just me or does it seem like Mac crashes more now with Maverick than before?

    Here is a portion log from Photoshop CC from Step 1

  • Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?

    Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?
    Id also like to know if Powerpc software will be supported? I have C&C Generals on disc but it doesnt run now mavericks is installed?!
    Annoying!

    Regarding time machine, it probably took a full backup after you put mavericks on. To investigate, open Console, select "All Messages" and type "backup" (without the quotes). It will then only show you backup-related messages. If you're not sure how to read those, copy them and paste them into a reply here; we can investigate the situation.
    I don't know anything about your PPC software issue, sorry.

    any help ?

    You most likely ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s. Can Mavericks be uninstalled?

    Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
    And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
    So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

    Uninstall CleanMyMac2 >  How To Uninstall CleanMyMac
    Uninstall Cocktail > Uninstall Cocktail for Mac OS X
    Third party cleaning utilities are not necessary on a Mac and can only cause problems.
    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you >  Mac OS X: About background maintenance tasks
    Growl is un necessary and can slow  the system down > Growl - Removing Growl
    If you want to monitor the system, use the pre installed Activity Monitor app located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Since installing Mavericks I'm getting a message that Shockwave will not load

    Since installing Mavericks yesterday I am now getting a message that apple cannot load Shockwave Flash - cannot play any games on Facebook because Flash will not load - tried disabling the oldest of 2 versions but that made no difference.  Any suggestions?

    I did a full factory reset on the Apple TV and then set evrything up again. Synced all my stuff from the computer, which seemed to download ok, but still get the "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content" message. It's very frustrating. All the content was purchased from the iTumes Canada store, I'm in Canada but can't watch it on the TV. I tried changing to the US store but same message. I think I'll just give up. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with an Apple product and I have never used anyrhing else but Apple. Thanks for your help anyway it's much appreciated.

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

    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!

  • Since installing Mavericks Photoshop CS6 is freezing all keyboard communication every 3 or 4 minutes

    Hi, a couple of days ago I installed Mavericks onto an imac running 16gb ram, 3.4ghz HD. I'm running Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.5 & using a wacom with the latest drivers 6.3.7-3.  I've had no issues previously but since installing Mavericks every 3 or 4 minutes communication is lost with the keyboard. By that I mean Photoshop will no longer respond to any keyboard shortcuts. I can keep working in Photoshop, it does not freeze completely but I'm locked into the tool i'm using unable to zoom in/out or any other task via the keyboard .If I exit the app and then return to it the keyboard functionality returns also. I am also able to jiggle the keyboard back into action by clicking away form the work area and onto another palette. Returning to the work area brings back the keyboard. Bluetooth keyboard & batteries changed too.
    I've tried disabling the background save and also the graphics processor but with no success. Has anyone experienced anything similar and found a solution? Working is Photoshop has become a real drag as the workflow is broken every few minutes. Any help MUCH appreciated.
    With thanks

    I too had the same issues with mavericks.
    There are 3 MAJOR bugs for those working deep into photoshop on Mavericks. The keyboards freezes, the auto completion on the Polygonal Lasso tool, and the sudden blank menus. I have made several threads about this in these forums and I´ve tried sending bug reports to Adobe and Wacom. But no response! Now im a disappointed paying CC customer.
    So, I´ve reverted back to Mountain Lion, which I don´t regret for a second. I can confirm all of the bugs went away. And not only that, Photoshop also performs better, its more snappy as well (I almost forgot how it is working with a bug free Photoshop, its like getting a new operating system ). I will not upgrade to Mavericks before all of these bugs are fixed, but with the response I got that might as well never happen. Wonder what I should do when buying a new computer?
    ANyway, I recommend you revert to Mountain Lion if you want Photoshop to work properly, Adobe hasn´t given any indication that they are working on these bugs.
