Since installing Mavericks I can't see my photos. I try downloading iPhoto but it won't let me. What should I do?

Please help. All my photos are backed up on time machine but without iPhoto I can't access them.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Since installing maverick, why can't I save anything in pages?

Since installing Maverick, I can't save anything to pages. That includes amended documents and new ones. What's the solution?

I just found the answer, I think. In Safari > Preferences > Security under Internet Plugings, click the "Manage Websites" button. Find Silverlight and select it to run in "Unsafe Mode."

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll, and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see: Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

Since installing mavericks I can't save files from my HP scanner

I installed Mavericks yesterday and now I can't save scanned JPEGs from my HP ScanJet4890 scanner into the folder that I was saving them into previously. I keep getting a dialogue box telling there is an error and that the destination is Read Only. I've checked the folder and the permissions are marked as Read Write. I've reinstalled the software and update with no effect. Any help would be appreciated as I am in the middle of a project to scan all of my old negatives into a hard drive.

I have the same issue with my HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier . I'm using HP Scan version 2.1.3(7). Actually my first scan saved a file, but when I went to look at the file, it was an all-black page with white lines. When I tried again, I would get an error message:" Error. An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only." Trying again and again always yielded the same error.

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad. What should I do?

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad3. How do I cure this problem?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you need apps like:

Since installing mavericks I can't seem to restore my time machine backups

It only seems to show back ups it's done since mavericks. However I can see another computer's sparse bundle that also used the time capsule. Any tips?
Quite worried that it may have wiped over my old backups

Frequently doing a SMC reset will help this issue, for directions please click the iMac SMC and PRAM reset link. Also check the obvious such as cables and connections. Or it's even possible the EHD has failed, they can and do.

Since installing Mavericks I can no longer scroll in Mail. Has any one else had this issue?

I have only had this issue since the latest update.
Any suggestions on a solution?

Miraculously, on starting up this morning, mail is functioning normally. Have to consider this question "closed"!

Since installing Maverick I can't download from my camera

The Maverick software doesn't indicate by the external camera icon or for that matter no indication at all.
Thanks.

If restarting Mac and using How to Troubleshoot iSight don't help, Reinstall OS X.

Captions of photos in Yahoo cover the bottom part of pic. Makes it hard to read text and also can't see whole photo. Tried reset Firefox but that didn't work.

When going through photo galleries on Yahoo (in news, omg, etc.) the caption is displayed on top of the bottom 'fifth' of the photo. (The caption should be below the entire photo.) The way the pations are overlayed makes it difficult to read the text of the caption and worse, it makes it almost impossible to see the lower fifth of the photo. I tried resetting Firefox but that didn't change anything. I can't find any yahoo settings or OS X display setting that changed this. I'm using Firefox 25 on a macbook air running OS X 10. Are there any firefox settings that would improve this? Thanks.

You can also try to reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Command+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Trying to download webkit but safari does't let me what can I do

Try to see how I can play games on Facebook

You can not download applications from any place but the official Apple app store.
Safari will only download jpegs or PDFs.
The games on Facebook are flash.
Adobe does not have a version of flash for iOS.
Look in the app store for alternate browsers that direct flash content to a server, convert it and stream it to the iOS device-photon, iswifter, etc.

I can't edit any photos. Try to crop but just moves the whole picture?

I can't edit photos. I select the crop tool but the mouse pointer just drags the whole image rather than create a box for the crop area? Even the in built photos/projects can't be edited. Nothing seems to work. I select the folder in the projects inspector but the folder contents don't apear in the browser, although individual images appear in the main window, eventually. Begining to think the software is dud or not compatible with the my mac operating system? I've tried re-installing the software.
