Since installing Mavericks, I've been unable to download Flash. Why is this happening?

Since I installed OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) on my iMac, I have been unable to download Adobe Flash Player plug-ins and have consequently had to uninstall Flash for security reasons. I tried to install the latest update of Flash today (v. 12.0.0.44) but when I click on 'install now' in Safari, nothing happens. This version of Flash is supposed to be compatible with Mavericks. It doesn't matter which browser I use: Safari or Firefox v. 27.0 and the problem is not being caused by a connectivity issue because I don't have problems with other downloads. When I use the Firefox plugin finder service, I get the following message: 'No suitable plugins were found'. I have made sure that JavaScript is enabled in my settings. What is going on?

I managed to solve the problem by going through the step-by-step instructions on the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml#main-pars_heading_11

I did contact engineer when it happened prior to Xmas but at that time , apparently, the solution was not available.

Applications/Image Capture might work.

There is not enough information in your question to guess what the problem might be.

Since upgrade to latest ios, everything is sooooo slow. Why has this happened?

In Japan, using softbank.
Since an upgrade to 7.0.4, everything, and I mena everything, I try to do on the iPad, is sooo slow. It's taken overy 20 minutes to download a 13.2mb app from the iStore.
There is at least one hour a day where the internet simply doesn't connect at all.
And before people chime in with 'this is a carrier issue', it wasn't ever a problem before the upgrade, and has been a consistent problem since the upgrade.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I uninstalled iTunes from my laptop. Now when I click on the download button I get the message thank you for downloading itunes even though it has not been downloaded. Why is this happening?

My iTunes could not find either my iPhone or my iPad even though it was found by my laptop running on Windows 8.1. After some basic trouble shooting I followed all the steps to uninstall iTunes along with all its components. When I tried to once again download iTunes I was taken to the next window which said thankyou for downloading iTunes even though iTunes was neither downloaded nor installed on my laptop. How do I download and install iTunes on my laptop now?

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I can't log into itunes store, app store or software update since installing mavericks....help please?

Ever since downloading and installing Mavericks, I have been unable to use my apple id on my Imac. I can't get into Itunes store, the App store or software update and it's driving me mad. Any ideas?
When I try and do software update, it gives error -1712. It's an Imac with 3.1GHz i5 and 4GB Ram

Hi Carolyn,
tried that and it's the right ID, but when I go to Itunes and click on the store, it won't even access the store. If I try to sign in, it brings up the window, I put in my ID and hit enter.....it doesn't even change to my ID, just stays as 'sign in'
When I try and open the app store or software update, nothing appears in the app store window. It's like those particular apps aren't connecting to the internet. Don't use Safari, so don't know if that's affected, but Chrome and Firefox are fine.

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
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.

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 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 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.

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?

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.

Since installing mavericks, I cannot view pdf's in preview...

Since installing Mavericks, I am unable to view pdf's that I download using Preview. I receive the following prompt:
The file “Contract & Payment Express” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
When I go to the finder to do that, however, there do not seem to be any permission issues. Please help - I don't mind using adobe reader, but I do not like not being able to solve why something is not working when it was prior to the update. Thanks

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.
