Updated to mavericks, now windows 7 partition freezes on boot

i have a late 2012 macbook pro, just updated to mavericks, now w7 64bit boot freezes on grey load screen. tried SMC/PR resets, just got off the phone with support and they don't have a clue on what to do to resolve the issue other than a reinstall (if my only option is reinstall I might abandon bootcamp and try another option). any advice?

Hello,
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

I recently updated to mavericks now my toshiba external hard drive wont connect and i have some important data need help to get drivers im assuming its the drivers but need help to locate the drivers

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Updated to Mavericks, now text is pixelated. How can I resolve this?

Mid 2010 Mac mini
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)
Display Dynex 46" monitor
I updated to Mavericks today. When my mini came back online, I had serious display issues that I've somewhat managed to resolve. The most galring issue is that all text, be it text on a website, text in apps, text of the OS windows, all text everywhere is pixelated. Glaringly so. Like 8-bit-style pixelated. Fuzzy, too. Can anyone help me understand what has happened and how I can resolve it, please?
The other display issues I'm having have to do with colour settings and screen resolution. I've been playing with my monitor settings and the OS settings and none of this has had any affect on the pixelation problem, as far as I can tell. Selecting "Best for Display" from System Preferences>Displays is the only setting I can choose that doesn't stretch the display beyond the edges of the screen.
Thank you!

LR 5.2 updated, loaded Maverick Finder window disappears

LR 5.2 updated to Maverick OS X, now when open new catalog, export any item, finder will appear for 2 seconds then disappear. OR may stay open on the second attempt, then close when you select a folder to export to. Here is the error message on screen, below. Google for issue, only found suggestion turning off NAP APP, which is now turned off, still same issue.
Click on Export, to find a folder, Finder window closed
*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 55 beyond bounds [0 .. 16]
Thanks for the help Rusty

Okay .. after EVERYTHING was working WELL I made the mistake of taking an ADOBE UPDATE to my Photoshop CC. Directly following THAT update (from ADOBE) both LR and PS fail as before. Since ONLY Adobe made changes to my computer, how can Apple be the culprit? As a matter of fact, even though my coverflow is NOT on, both LR and PS open their diaglogs in that view and I am unable to change that. Certainly my Adobe programs are revealing this issue. It sounds from your note above that Adobe is just treating it like an Apple issue.
Fortunately I did take a Time Machine backup BEFORE installing the Adobe updates so I can roll back.
UPDATE:
I opened InDesign and the open dialog opened in CoverFlow and failed. The next time I used the open dialog I quickly changed the view to details (InDesign runs a little slower so I was able to do that). Once I had changed the view, no problems .. all fixed (in InDesign)
Since I had successfully changed the view from CF to details in InDesign, I figured "maybe" all the adobe programs would recognize the change. I then successfully opened Photoshop, which now opens with the details view and is successful.
At least I know HOW to make it work if it gets messed up again .. which happens whenever I update an Adobe program.
My finder was in DETAIL view before and after my updates.
The ONLY place where coverflow showed up was in the Adobe programs.

Updated to Mavericks, now having Outlook 2011 issues.

Okay this is probably a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I just updated to OS X Mavericks, now when my display on my MacBook Pro goes to sleep, and I have Outlook 2011 running (I have it set up on a schedule to send/receive emails) I get 2 different messages when the schedule runs and the display is asleep.
"Connection to the server failed or was dropped" and "Inactivity timeout".
If I hit the send/receive after the display wakes up.. no problem, it gets the mail. Display asleep and the schedule runs, I get the errors above.
I updated the Office 2011 service pack, and all updates to see if that helped, it didin't.
Everything was working fine with OS X Mountain Lion, as soon as I updated to Mavericks this all started. Anyone have a fix for this? Or is it something I have to live with. I tried an experiment and the native Mail program works fine when the display is asleep.

Resized partition using Disk Utility and now Windows 7 will not boot

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me!!
I had previously used Boot Camp to install Windows 7. However, I later realised I had not given myself anywhere near enough disk space as I started using Windows for things I hadn't originally planned on using it for.
Anyway, long story short, to solve the problem I uninstalled some applications on my Mac OSX and used Disk Utility to decrease the size of my Mac partition. My plan was then to reboot to Windows and use a Windows application to increase the size of the Windows partition. However - I coudln't even get that far.
Upon decreasing the size of my Mac partition (succesfully) I restarted my Mac in order to boot to Windows. However, I was greeted with a message along the lines of "unable to boot to Windows please insert boot disk and press any key" (I can't remember the exact message).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way to restore my Windows partition, retaining all of my previously saved files on my Windows disk. It's probably a long shot, but the thought of losing everything I have been working on for the last few months is a sickening one.
What does give me a bit of hope is that, if I click Boot Camp it seems to recognise that Windows 7 is installed as the option that appears is to uninstall it.
Furthermore, if I view partitions in Disk Utility, a "DISK0S4" is listed. However, it's only at 20gb - if this WAS my BootCamp partition previously, it was originally at something around 60gb (I think - either way, definitely bigger than 20gb!).
On top of this, my current Macintosh HD parition is at 260gb and with the DISK0S4 partition at 20.21gb, there seems to be some space missing... I'm hoping this is the files I've been working on over the last few months!
Anyway, I've done some searching on the net and it *seems* that GPT fdisk *might* be my savour. I've downloaded it but have no idea how to use it and don't plan on playing about with it as I could no doubt do some real damage. If it is likely to solve my problem however, I'm certainly more than capable of being walked through what I need to do.
Please help!

Hi Christopher,
I also have problems with Windows rebooting after partition resize trying to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. The Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.

Does restoring a computer back to a certain date in time remove the Windows partition created by Boot Camp?

If I'm wanting to restore my computer back to a certain date in time using a TM backup, will it remove my Windows partition? For example, say I choose to restore back to a date when I did not have the Windows partition on the computer, does it remove the partition, or does it keep it on the computer since it's a separate partition?

I didn't say TM could use an MS-DOS partition. I just said "You can't really state that "Windows partition is invisible to TM", since a Windows XP partition could be formatted MS-DOS, and thus is not invisible to TM." I am right. You shouldn't make blanket statements that are not true.

Downloaded security update 2014-002 now computer is freezing. Can I uninstall it?

Can I uninstall security update for Lion 2014-002? Afte repairing permissions before and after the download, the computer is freezing and needs restarting if not in use for several minutes.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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 "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
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
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report—it will be very long and not helpful.

Updated to mavericks now multiple problems. mainly mail

I updated to osx 10.9.1 and am using safari 7.0.1   now having multiple problems. It may take up to 8 hours to get our Gmails on mail. if we are typing an email, we may take say 10 min typing the email. We can then go to our mail trash and there might be 15 to 20 deleated versions of that email in difrernt stages of completations we were typing. Also can delete trash and junk and they might go away or at times they will come back with 1,2, or may be 3 sets of the emails that we deleated. looked at all the settings I could find to see if something is set wrong but not finding anything. Verry frustrated. Tried to open the download osx10.9.1 update bur would get an alert that " this software is not supported on your system". I need help

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Updated to Mavericks; Now Calendar doesn't work.

Check inside your spam folder.

If that is what you use. Mine is a junk mail addy.

Updated to Mavericks - Now dropping WiFi connections like crazy

The title says it all. On an early 2013 MacBook Pro retina. Running perfect until the day I upgraded to Mavericks. Now my WiFi drops anywhere from once an hour to every 5 minutes, and also has trouble reconnecting after waking up from sleep. I've tried the various fixes mentioned on the forums and collected here, but nothing has worked yet.
To be clear, I have many devices/computers in the house, and only one of them has trouble wiht WiFi, the one I upgraded to Mavericks, and it started the day I upgraded it to Mavericks.
There seem to be a lot of other sufferers. Any good solutions?

Words cannot describe how angry this problem makes me. How can world's largest tech company not been able to fix their biggest bug for this many months now?!?!
All these forums are overflowing with the same **** problem: WIFI DOESN'T CONNECT AFTER COMING BACK FROM SLEEP ON MAVERICKS.
How many thousands of people have to post the same godddamn problem for how long?
And no, disconnecting Bluetooth doesn't help (even if it did, its not an acceptable solution). I took my MacBook Air to Apple store twice already and they cannot help either.
aaaAAAAaAaaAAaaarrrrghhh, I'm going to go insane from this problem.
I miss Steve.. he wouldn't let something like this go on for this long. Can a half a trillion dollar company pay attention to its own support forums or at least google "wifi-not-connecting-after-sleep-mavericks" and realize what incompetent company you have become?!
