Trouble with MS Word for Mac 2008 file open from LaCie NAS drive after installing Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick.

Since installing Max OS X 10.9 "Maverick" when I open Word documents from my LaCie NAS drive they open as empty documents. When I copy them to my local hard drive and then open them the content is fine. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted LaCie and they said "we do not support OS X or MS Word so talk to Apple and Microsoft. I have a thread with Microsoft and here is one with Apple.
Thanks

I suspect that the issue with the EFI partition is unrelated to your Mac’s slow performance. I have had this same error message with Disk Utility. The EFI partition is related to firmware updates, and as it is not even booted when you boot from your usual boot drive, it is not relevant. (I was able to repair the EFI partition with Techtool Pro 7 , though, but then it reappeared, which makes me think it is a bug with Disk Utility.)
I’d uninstall the following items, which are frequent flyers on the list of culprits for misbehaving macs:
Blackberry
google keystone agent
Chrome
Perian stopped being supported by the developer before Mountain Lion, so I doubt that it’s compatible with Mavericks.
I have the same 8,2, BTW, and it is very fast. I like Kappy's suggestion. If getting rid of those 4 items above doesn't fix the problem, then a clean install (and not reinstalling your old "utilities" or other junk) will.

ITunes doesn't detect the files on my Linkstation NAS driver after crash

I had iTunes set up with the music folder on my Linkstation NAS drive. Every thing worked fine.Then a week ago my laptop crashed and I had to re-install Windows XP home and all that goes with it.
After installing iTunes I set up the location of the music folder to be on the Linkstation (using Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General). However, iTunes dosent "see" my music files on the Linkstation anymore.
The Linkstation is accessible to my computer and if I double click on music file from the Linkstation iTunes will play it and "see" that particular song but not the rest.
Is there any way of making iTunes scan the Linkstation so it can "see" the music files on it

For future reference, after some tricking around and a lot of finger crossing I managed to fix the problem. And here's how:
(1) I deleted the iTunes folder that was in My Music folder and started iTunes.By starting iTunes it creates anew iTumes folder with new blank .itl and.xml library files. I did that to start with a completely new iTunes .xml and .itl file.
(2) I double checked that the iTunes Music folder was set to the music folder on my NAS drive (using Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General).
(3) I also made sure that the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was NOT selected ( Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General)
(4) I then opened the Music folder on my NAS drive and selected all. I then dragged and dropped the entire contents (5773items 42.9GB) on to the iTunes window.
(5) It took about 30mins to transfer the details and get the art work from the net. Note: it didn't transfer the music, only the details of the location of the music.
AND finally
(6) I backed up my new iTunes .itl and .xml library files and made a note to never forget to back up my iTunes .itl and .xml library files!
Phew.
And thanks to camoracer for the input.

Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

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
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. 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.
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.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
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.

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks?

I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.

The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

Issues modifying files brought from FAT32 & NTFS drives.

I recently moved from PC, I had an external HD that was formated into NTFS. In order to get my data moved around I've taken alot of files off the NTFS drive onto my Vista PC, then reformated that drive as FAT32, back onto the drive, then from the FAT32 drive to my Mac. Now if I try to rename the folders, or the contents of those folders, I get the dreaded "BLOOP". If I try to move them, they insist on copying rather than cutting.
I've checked the permissions on the folders & files; I have read & write access.
I am in an admin user.
I've run repair disk permissions & repair disk just for good measure.
I really think its got to have something to do with them coming from the NTFS and/or FAT32 drives. Only files coming from those drives seem to be effected. Anyone got any ideas?

No trouble in those files or in deleting them.
Watch out for file names. Things that are valid for HFS+ are not on NTFS, and caused mayham to Vista.
What I did was just search for and delete all those files you are asking about, and more, like any of the .DS also.
The files are created to store folder and file information.
What would be better would be to use a program when copying, to skip copying hidden and invisible files. And putting "." in front of a file just makes it hidden in OS X.
You can just search and delete. I had to delete tens of thousands. And I now keep all my files on NTFS that I can. I also bought NTFS driver a year ago, having tried MacFUSE also, Paragon-Software cost $29 at the time and performed better. Haven't tried the new MacFUSE 2.x that just came out.
