Upgraded to Mavericks now Messages will leave off the name.

When using messages in Mavericks chatting with 3-5 other people, Messages will just display the typed in conversations without putting the name of the chat member.
Get hard to tell who said what.
What can I do to correct this?

Answering in your message,
HI,
I was a little confused by the pics at first as the first one that is "Working" is set to Names Only and not "Names and Pictures" Yes my mistake picture is "Names Only"
must have changed to pictures and names after screen shot. I will also check if "names only" works.
The second also seems to show Text outside of the balloons ? Yes it does, don't know why. It also didn't show all of the text. Look in the box on left side with the name: is a text not listed in the text screen.
I also checked the Messages > View Menu > Buddy names that only used to work on the Front Buddy List and found it also effects the main Messages window and overrides the View menu > Messages choice. ???? will look at settings later.
What happens if you change the style from Balloons to one of the others. Will Try
Appreciate all the help. Thank you

Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch

Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch.

The rule of thumb I follow says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 300 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
The scratch often exceeds 300 GB when working with very large pano shot, for instance; and in one extreme case I've seen it grow to over 800 GB.

A fix for your camera will probably fix your other problems, too.

Since upgrading to Mavericks my mail will only allow me to choose one recipient at a time unlike previous OSX which would allow me to choose multiple recipients at once.

Open a message-editing window and select

from the menu bar. From the sheet that opens, drag the button labeled Address upward (not downward) into the toolbar if it's not already there, then click Done.
Click the button to see a list of your contacts. You can make multiple selections.

Hello Tarpon471,
It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

Messages will only use AIM names from Contacts

Hi, all of a sudden, Message will only use AIM names from my Contacts when I create a new message. In the example below, all three of these people have multiple other address in Contacts that Messages used to present as options but, as you can see, now I only get the AIM names.
Does anybody know what might be happening here?
Thanks

HI,
Bottom left of that pic (out of sight) will be a extra info spot that tell you how many Non iMessages accounts you have logged in and tells you the Description Names (taken from the Preferences > Accounts)
If in the Preferences > General Section you have Unticked the item about "Gather(ing) all Accounts into one List" then you will get a similar List in the Window Menu (of Logged in Accounts).
If only an AIM valid ID/Screen Name remains Logged in then the "To" drop down will only show AIM Buddies.
A Pic I have used elsewhere showing the Prefs/Accounts with the Descriptions and the Window Menu plus a arrow to the Main Messages window list of same
I restricted my Logins to one AIM (Main AIM - highlighted) and a Google Login and the Bonjour account.
As Eric says make sure other accounts are Logged in or Enabled.

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Time Machine no longer finds the Time Capsule Disk on my network

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Time Machine no longer finds the Time Capsule Disk on my network.
Five minutes before upgrading it however performed successfully a last backup.
I found several posts on this forum and proposed solutions:
- restarted both the mac and capsule
- deleted the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (twice rebooting in between)
Still have the issue.

What brand of drive is it?

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck
