Super Duper error message on Mavericks

I have a 2011 macbook pro on 10.9.4 I am trying to back up my system with Super Duper but keep getting this error message at the end Error | SDCopy: Error copying /private/var/log/powermanagement/2014.07.19.asl to /Volumes/Untitled 1/private/var/log/powermanagement/2014.07.19.asl of type 8 due to error 5: Input/output error
Anybody know how to fix this.

I suggest you exclude the log folder from your backups.

Error message during Mavericks install

I downloaded successfully a copy of the Install OS X Mavericks app from the Apple App store to my MacBook Pro. If I try to install Mavericks to my computer, I initially get the message, "preparing to install. Your computer will restart automatically". But instead of restarting, I get the following error message:      "This copy of the Install OS X Mavericks application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. Delete this copy of the application, and go to the Purchases page of the Mac App Store to download a new copy."
I've deleted and re-downloaded the app 3-4 times and keep getting the same error message. I was able to install Mavericks successfully to my iMac, which is a year older than my MacBook Pro, so I can't figure out what the problem is.   Anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?

I ran EtreCheck and this is the report it spit out:

Error message, failed Maverick installation during boot up

Hi guys,
I have a MBP Retina mid 2012, running 10.8.5 and tried to update to Maverick. Downloaded the installer fine but once I restarted, it got the below error messages and after rebooting itself 2-3 times it just got stuck and I had to reboot in recovery from my harddrive with mountain lion.
Anyone experiencing the same? I tried the Apple hotline but they are also clueless at this point. We tried reinstalling Lion and then installing Maverick again, same result. I removed the initial installer and downloaded a new version, same result.
Any ideas?

paranoos wrote:... you've got two entries in your fstab for your swap partition. the second one is failing.
yep, remove
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
I had this problem when i installed arch to, is it the installer that does it?

Time capsule unexpected error message using maverick and utility 6.3

I have a TC 3TB new in last year. I had it set up a to join my home wireless network, it is connected via ethernet to my iMac, and it has been working fine. I updated to mavericks last week and everything was still working fine. Until yesterday. Now my TC is not recognized. I've tried to hard reset it several times and set it up to join as before, I've tried to restore previous settings, and set up a new network, none of these have worked. I continue to get the same message, "an unexpected error occurred" and to try again.
Any suggestions?

AirPort Utility won't let me change the router mode. In fact, I can't even get to the menu shown in the picture you've posted. The button "Other Options", if this should be the way, is innactive...
You need to get in.. connect by ethernet dongle.. and make sure you have an IP from the TC..turn off wireless in the MBPr.
Then if you cannot get into the device do a factory reset.
See instructions on reset.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
In simple terms.. hold in reset and THEN power on the TC.. keep holding reset until the front led flashes rapidly .. about 10sec. no data is lost from hard disk.
Select the TC in the airport utility
Info on the unit appears. Then click on edit.
That gets you to the manual setup screen..
One last question. For option 1 (all I need is using TC just to back up stuff from my MBPr automatically via Time Machine), should I connect the TP-Link modem/router to the WAN port of TC or to one of its 3 ethernet ports?
Thanks again
In bridge it makes no difference.. but by convention we use WAN to connect to modem.. it helps to keep things clear when you troubleshoot.. but when you bridge.. WAN port is assigned to LAN.
Spell checking is always fun here.. but I refuse to follow the US convention even if normal spell check is forced to US on the website.. my posts always have lots of spelling errors. !!!

3 error messages in console slow down mavericks

mavericks is a lot slower than snow leopard, sometimes programs even stop working for approx. 30 seconds.
below the console messages
and below that the printout from etreCheck.
1) systemstatsd complains once per minute "assertion failed" - I don't have the faintest idea, which module failed
2) Excel2008 and office 2008 (database daemon) let me know, that something is deprecated and will be removed soon
Excel latest update was done 2 days ago . Can I stop these messages or remove the daemon?
Any help or idea is apppreciated very much
PS: is there a manual on how to interpret system messages? I could not find anything.
here the console messages

I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

Just downloaded mavericks, now iPhoto won't load because of an error message that says "You can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac" . I have a 17" MacBook Pro, mid 2010 model running 2.53 GHz and Intel Core I5,

I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

My iMac (2011) has been persistently throwing this error message: "SafariDAVClient quit unexpectedly." This started when I moved up to Mavericks, from Lion. Nothing crashes, and all I have to do is click "ok" to get rid of the error window. Still, annoying, as this darn Error message pops up at least every 60 seconds Help?
Here is thev error data that shows up in my Console after it happens. Of course, it might as well be GREEK TO ME!:

What the HECK is goin' on?

That's related since the process is attempting to load your Safari bookmarks from iCloud, and is crashing for some reason.
Try this:
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Reveal in Finder:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCloudHelper
Drag that entire folder to the Desktop.
Quit Safari.
Attempt to open iCloud Preferences again. If it opens de-select Safari.
Launch Safari again and determine if the problem is fixed.

After upgrading to Mavericks my Time Machine gives me error message.

I use a WD Live Book that keeps my security copies on my home network. Since installing Mavericks I get an error message saying that it cannot perform security copies cause sparse file already exists and refers back to latest copy 48 days ago.
However when I do go in to Time Machine it seems to show that for the last 3 days scurity copies have been done.
But when I try to do a a new security copy invariably the top menu says that copy has failed.
Has anyone experienced the same thing? Is there anyway to check clearly if Time Machine is now working properly or not?
Thank you for any replies...
MF

Dear Matt,
Basicaly I think what happened was what your article describes:
Time Machine keeps track of files and folders that have changed since your last backup so that it only backs up those files and folders. If Time Machine loses track of files and folders that have changed since the last backup, it compares an "inventory" of your current data to an inventory of your backup. When this happens, Time Machine preferences displays a "Preparing..." status message for a longer period of time. See Mac OS X 10.5: Time Machine preferences may display "Preparing" for a longer time.
Message: Time Machine starts a new, full backup instead of a smaller incremental backup
However none of the reasons the article presents were the cause I think, since I only tried to backup after the installation of Mavericks. Maybe time capsule hadn't updated right after? I really don't know. However I am glad to say that the problem seems to have fixed itself. It took a long time preparing a backup and finally did a complete backup of roughly 200GB which took a while. (which I am still to verify if it has deleted backups from before the installation of Mavericks due to lack of space).
Anyhow its backed up and seems to be working fine now. As to why it's happened and how it got fixed or what the problem actually was... I really don't know.
Thank you for the reply, it was helpful at least to determine what might have gone wrong.
Best,

Error message when trying to install Mavericks onto macbook pro.

Hi Been trying to install Mavericks onto my macbook pro (10.6.8) but the install fails after 3-5 minutes and I get this error message: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.
I have tried to repair the drive through the utility function but I am told it cannot be repaired. I tried the recovery function as well but whilst I am able to select the source (external hard drive with recent time machine backup) the next screen prompts me to select the disk to restore but all it does is search for a drive and there is none there to select.
Really not sure what else to do. Please help!

Well some progress has been made so thought i would post what I did, in case someone experiences the same issue I did and maybe this will be of use to someone else...
Ended up force-shutting my macbook down then switching back on, as soon as the chime could be heard i pressed command R and kept both keys pressed until Recovery mode kicked in.
Internet Recovery came on which took approx 20 minutes (more about this here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718 )
Then 4 options appeared
1) recover with time machine back up
2) set up and install Mac OSX (with the Lion icon and reference to Lion for some reason, I had Snow Leopard to begin with)
3) get help online
4) repair or erase disk using disk utility
I decided to attempt to repair the drive but use the verification tool first which said the drive was fine??????!!!
Then clicked on repair disk, this took only a few minutes then it stopped after a couple lines.
While it was "repairing" the button changed to "stop repair" then changed back to "repair" so I took that to mean it had done what had to be done.
Then closed the utility screen whch prompted me to restart macbook after selected a drive to boot up from (only one option came up for me)
Did that and I was back into familiar territory and on my mac as I knew it ie snow leopard.
I did restart macbook just to make sure and it just booted up as normal, to snow leopard with the maverick install icon still showing in the dock.
Panic over. Not sure if / when I will give installing Maverick another try though....

Saving scanned doc error message when using Mac Maverick with HP Photosmart C4795

When I use HP Scan to scan documents with my HP Photosmart C4795 it scans fine. The problems comes when I try to save the scanned document. I get one of two things, an error message or black document. I get an error that states "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. I know that's the location is not read only because I save documents there all the time from other programs. When I get the black document, I open the file and its a black page with white lines going across.
This started happening when I upgraded to Maverick. When I had snow leopard I didn't have this problem. I looked for update drivers and there aren't any available on the HP software & drivers webpage. HP help! Any suggestions please help.

Hi,
That happens due to lack of compatibility of the HP Scan application for your device with Mavericks, it is not intended for the operating system and will cause issues while saving a file.
Be sure to run Software Update, then scan using Image Capture or Preview as listed below.. those are the scan solutions provided for Mavericks:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03550518&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Once you launch Image Capture, I would suggest keeping it on the dock for easier access.

CS4 won't open images w/Mavericks; no error message, just no image. Anyone else?

I got a message from Apple a couple of weeks ago to "download Mavericks for free!" and figured, why not? What I didn't anticipate was that my Photoshop CS4 would stop working immediately afterwards, a fact that has disrupted my work and caused big problems for me. Not happy.
I can open the Raw preview screen but when I click to open the image from there, nothing. No image. Yet when I go to shut down Photoshop, it asks me if I want to save the file. Which I can't see! Even jpgs will not open.
The guy at the Genius Bar ran diagnostics on my computer and all was fine. Told me to uninstall then reinstall Photoshop, but that didn't fix it. He said if I wanted to downgrade back down to Lion, I'd have to have my entire compture wiped clean. NOT a good solution. So...
I called Adobe. The fellow there didn't have an answer for me either; also suggested doing an uninstall/install. Told him that didn't help. He said he had no suggestions other than to buy CS6. So...
I've been perusing forums and chat rooms and not finding anything that matches my particular problem. Unlike other users on CS4/Mavericks threads, I don't get an error message regarding licensing and I did download the newer Java (per a prompt after initially downloading Mavericks). At this point I'm assuming CS 4 just doesn't work with Mavericks (I have a 2-year-old MacBook Pro) and I'm really annoyed. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have downloaded Mavericks; my computer was working just fine and right now I can't afford new software. So...
Anyone have any suggestions for making CS4 work when the licensing error ISN'T being triggered?

Eustace: thanks for your response.
I trashed the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist, as instructed, then tried to open a file. I was so excited because it opened! Then - to check - I closed Photoshop, opened it up again, tried again and.... nothing. Back to the invisible files. Grrrr.
I notice there is also a com.adobe.Photoshop.plist.lockfile. Should I trash that as well?

"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message. After I upgratded my imac to Mavericks I can't open Illustrater CS5. Help pls.

"Adobe Illustrator cs5 quit unexpectedly" error message.
After I upgrated my imac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks I can't open Illustrator CS5. (No problem with PS)

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 the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always 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 ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. 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 crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. 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, 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.

Why do I get an error message when installing latest version of Java in my Maverick system?

I have been trying t install Java 10.5 update 4 in my computer. My compputer was upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.
Whenever I try the install Java, I get an error message saying Java for Mac 10.5 update 4 can't be installed on my disk, as that software can only be installed on Mac OS X Leopard. I know Java 10.5 is the lattest version, so why can't I install in on my Mavericks system?

10.5 is too old for Mavericks. You want the update from http://www.java.com/
Java 7v52 is the latest Java.

Trying to reinstall Mavericks but keep getting an error message

I'm having some problems with my MacBook Pro so I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks.
I hold command+R at startup and get to the OS X Utilities.
I click "Reinstall OS X." I already tested it and I AM connected to the internet.
I click "continue" when it says it needs to verify the eligibility of my computer with Apple (it's definitely eligible).
An error message pops up. It says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
It's plugged in, I've tried restarting, I've checked the internet connection and it's working fine.
Any idea how to get this to work?

If possible, set the system clock as instructed here. If you can only start up in Recovery mode, see below.
Select Get Help Online. Safari will launch. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your bookmarks, but you won't need them. Load this web page.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
date 0801000014
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. Paste into the window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. If it doesn't appear, press return.
Quit Terminal to return to the main screen. Try the installation again.
