Up grade to mavericks
Hi there, I have a late 2006 iMac running lion 10.7.5 and was wondering if I now can upgrade to mavericks. The app store show 10.6.8 and later but everywhere else I read tells me I need an iMac made in 2007 or later. Is this true or can I upgrade.
FYI....Apple recently dropped the prices on the new MacBook Airs by $100. Best Buy has been offering additional discounts on the Air. Prices start around $850.

I was advised to purchase and install OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 because I would be able to upgrade to Mavericks OS. I installed and tried to up grade to Mavericks and message back says I cannot load on this computer. My Mac notebook is 6 years old. After some searching I found out that if I download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard it should work for Mavericks. Apparently that was wrong as well. Any ideas out there on what I can do or am I flogging a dead horse trying to upgrade

If your computer is compatable to install Mavericks, then you do it through the App Store which would have been included in your Applications when you updated to 10.6.8

OS X server (10.10.1) Imap Internal login failure
I have a problem with my main server on a OS X server 10.10.1 (Mac mini)
Clients cannot log in to the IMAP side of an account on the server.
So when using the mail client Connection Doctor the SMTP is successful and the IMAP portion not.
This happens with both accounts Local as with the accounts in the Open Directory service
The log of the Open Directory service indicates that ist was an successful login.
The IMAP log shows.
error Jan 17 18:44:04 imap-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=93306 id=27) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.0.101, lip=10.0.0.101, mpid=93310, TLS
The user test is local users.
The server was up-grade from Maverick to Yosemite a few months ago.
It runs 10.10.1 and Server 4.0.3
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards,
JacobThe reason that I wanted to use WGM was because it allows you to configure a maximum backup volume size per machine. If you just configure through TM, a single machine could fill the entire volume with backups.
I know that there's a way to use hdiutil to max the sparsebundle size that is created when you don't use WGM, but lets face it folks - if the option is there, then apple should support it! -
Problems printing with the Yosemite update
I installed the Yosemite update, not realizing it was a beta operating system with many bugs. I am not unable to print to my wireless printer (Kodak Hero 4.2) HOWEVER, I am still able to scan documents. I am confused at how my computer can still communicate with the scanner portion of my All-in-one printer but when I try to print it says "filter error." I actually like most of the features of the Yosemite update, especially Preview, so I am reluctant to down grade to Maverick. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this printing issue as of yet?
It appears Kodak printers are no longer supported by OS X, likely because of Kodak's financial difficulties.
See the list of supported printers as of September 30, 2014 here:

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.
What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency? -
I had Snow Leopard, and up-graded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades in iPhoto to become compatible with
Maverick. Today, when I tried to open iPhoto I got this message: "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do
not have permission to make chages to it". Now what? I can't access my iPhoto Library.First open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:'
Look for the file named iPhotoLock.data and move it to the Trash in the Dock. Launch iPhoto and see if that helped.
If not Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Many other users are having sucess by using EtreCheck to show what is installed so they can remove or update the 3rd party software, it can be a long process.

The choice is yours, if you have a backup just revert to that. -

After upgrading to Maverick my apple wireless keyboard battery drain too quickly (30% in 1 day)
Just as the topic's tittle, after upgrading to Maverick, along with many small errors, keyboard battery draining is by far the most not-so-pleasuring thing to deal with. My keyboard used to consume roughly a few battery percent per week. After the OS upgrade, still with the same using habit, it went from 80% down to 60% the last week, and from 60% to 30% just yesterday. Does anyone else here get this and any solution please? Much appreciate it! Thank you!
Software bugs are killing not only IT industry (just look the drop in PC sales, and also a new sharp drop in tablet sales!), but industry in general.
The reason for this is very simple: wrong people are on wrong jobs. As simple as that.
To introduce this kind of bug, the drain of keyboard battery after installing an "advanced" version 100 (or so) operating system, and have this kind of bug a Jimmy from 3rd grade would not had made, is beyond comprehension.
I trace these kind of stupidities for at least 30 years. While Microsoft can be forgiven as they started it all with a poorly conceived operating system foundation by a few teenegers and later it was impossible to go back to square one, the Apple on the other hand had all things available to them beautifully: the most advanced, architecturally, operating system foundation - Unix. And they failed too. They put an awkward GUI lipstick on that beautiful Unix operating system, with a lot, a LOT of bugs!?
Again: the reason for all of this is that throughout the decades and decades, the wrong people were put on the wrong jobs. Nowadays VERY small percentage of educated people work on software systems development. There are no computer scientists, computer engineers, electrical engineers, software engineers anymore working for those companies like Apple. Throughout the decades of mis-management they had been replaced by all sorts of inadequate occupations: sociologists, psychologists, English majors, shoe salesmen, even Preachers .
And the result we see: a never ending stream of stupidities like this one. If chimpanzees had spent all this time, all these intangible and tanglible investments, on creating operating systems I assure you they would do a MUCH better job than these dilletants -
after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before. -
When my wife and I upgraded to OSX Mavericks the person I was talking to on apple support said I could use My apple ID and password to up grade on my wife's computer also. Well after we got finished she had all my Info from my computer on hers. It took about 6 hours to install the whole upgrade. They said if you have any problems just to call back and we will help. Here it is on a Sunday and I call every 5 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. If they are not open on Sunday's then why don't the just say so.The number I keep calling is 1-888-263-3394.I don't understand anything about iCloud, maybe thats why all my Info is on hers to. Larry
My wife uses my Apple ID and password to download and install all her software because that way we only pay for it once and get essentially a family license. Otherwise we would each have to purchase and pay for our own copy. However, that only applies when we are purchasing software from the App Store or the iTunes store. We each have our own individual iCloud accounts where we store our personal Contact, Calendar, and other data. You can change the Apple ID on your wife's computer by going to System Preferences > Accounts and choosing her account then clicking on Apple ID: Set.
Now if you want to make things more intertwined you and your wife can share your contacts, calendars etc with one another with read only or read write priveleges. -
Just a week ago, I upgraded from the latest upgrade of Snow Leopard to Mavericks 10.9.2, due to the news about security concerns on all Apple computers and IOS devices. I did this upgrade at an Apple store under the guidance of a "genius".
The initial upgrade worked, but as days progressed I bagan noticing long boots of the OS, then long and longer time required to connect to my gmail account. Finally, I'm unable to connect with gmail at all. I tried using Firefox and Safari, but to no avail.
As of today, I've had difficulty in connecting with the Apple support website as well. It took several tries throughout the day to get to this place where I could post my delimma.
Have there been similar issues recently concerning the 10.9.2 so called up-grade? I'm about to connect to my backup drive and re-install Snow Leopard, which worked fine for all general purposes.Your profile still shows 10.6.8.
Try running the combo update.

You shouldn't. That's the reason for having a backup.
The best way is to use Setup Assistant when you get the new Mac. For details read this from the late Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:
