Why did I lose my iPhoto when upgrading to Mavericks.  I have a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro

My version of iPhoto is not working after upgrading to Mavericks OS

I have the exact same issue. Mid 2010 MBP. I ran software update before the upgrade, ran the upgrade, no longer have iLife / iWork (Garage Band, Pages etc) all gone.
All I can think to do is dig out my disks which are burried away with the box.
Ive upgraded the through Lion, Leopard etc and this has not happened. Also, JRE/JDK uninstalled itself so I had to reinstall that and Netbeans.
All in all a pretty crap update. Losing iPhoto is a pain in the neck and really should not have happened. I have an email out with App Store support. I am not paying £10+ to re-download something I already technically own!

  • Is there a way to upgrade a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro so that it can use a wireless n network?

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro, and I live in a share house. The router we are using is very far away from my room and I do not get very good signal strength. However, my phone and ipad, which are newer, and have wireless n capability, are able to get quite good speeds on this network. I think my problem is that my computer only has a wireless a/b/g airport card. I know that it is meant to be compatible with the draft IEEE 802.11n specification but I don't think it is connecting to the network as a wireless n device.
    Is there a way for me to upgrade this card? I have seen a number of cards on ebay etc but I cannot find one that matches my needs. Alternatively, is there a way to make my computer join the network as a wireless n device?

    I am not sure swapping a wireless card is an easy exercise.. I would not recommend it.
    You can hunt up a USB wireless stick that is Mac compatible..
    Or you can buy an Apple Express and use it as a wireless bridge. There are plenty of alternative wireless bridges.. you just plug them in by ethernet and use wireless.. depending on the brand of wireless router you have.

  • Mid 2009 13" Macbook pro upgrade

    Hi!
    I have been using a 13" Macbook pro mid 2009 model since September 2009. It has been upgraded over the years - the HDD from 160 to 500 to 1000gb, the ram from 2 to 8gb (max-ed out).
    The thing is, the computer has become drastically slow - startup and opening apps. The ram usage most of the times hovers around 4-5gb and processor usage is around 15-85% so I guess the issue is with the HDD.
    Have been doing a lot of research and it seems SSD is the logical choice to go with to improve this. I would also go with the data doubler (china or india make, cheaper and does the job) as I would like to keep my music and images collection with me all the time and using an external disc maybe too slow due to the USB2.0 port.
    Few questions:
    I have some apps that start at login (I wanna keep it that way, coz of convenience) so the ssd would yet be quicker? Any feedback from users are welcome
    Im considering the Samsung Evo 120gb SSD (which should be adequate for the system files and work documents), any reviews or feedback on how good this drive is? preferably from users?
    Connecting a external hdd would be slow over usb 2.0 as compared to connected thru sata 2 (data doubler)?
    Having an SSD + HDD would impact the battery life right?
    Considering that it is gonna be about 5 years (this September) since I have bought the mac, would paying around 150-200$ be worth it now? Dunno how many OS X updates would support this machine? If I can get atleast 2 more years from this I would be happy? Otherwise I could sell this one for about $600 - $800 (in Bombay) plus put in more money and buy a new system. What are your thoughts? 
    Any views or thoughts would be more than welcome.
    Cheers!
    Aman

  • Why did my mouse stop scrolling after upgrading to mavericks?

    I have completely lost all ability to scroll with my Apple Magic Mouse after upgrading to Mavericks.   Why did this happen?   How can it be fixed?    It worked fine with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. 

    Everyone:
    I was able to solve my own problem, after scouring the Internet looking for solutions.  Sadly, the Apple Support Community was of no help. 
    Here's the full story:
    I originally had purchased my iMac with Snow Leopard installed.   I loved it just the way it was, and really did not ever want to upgrade.  However, I've been around computers long enough to know that I would HAVE to do it someday, only because of the age old problem of wanting to run some new application in the future, but not being able to, becasue the app would only run on the latest version of OS X.  I reluctantly upgraded to Mountain Lion less than a year ago, without too many problems -- nothing I wasn't able to fix fairly easily anyway.  When Mavericks came out, with the "offer I could not refuse" price of FREE, I knew I would eventually have to install it. 
    So the day comes when I'm finally ready to install Mavericks.  To get ready for that day, I did the following:
    I ran CCleaner on Mountain Lion to clear out any old files accumulated.  (No longer works in Mavericks)
    Made sure my Time Machine backup was up to date
    Cleared out gigbytes of old files off my hard drive, and archived them on an external USB drive
    Made sure every single app on my iMac was fully upgraded.
    Made sure Mountain Lion itself was fully upgraded! 
    I then set aside a full day for the upgrade, knowing full well how long it could take, even with a very fast internet connection.  Eventually I worked up the courage to go to the App Store, and proceded to download Mavericks. 
    The update seemed to go smoothly enough, no problems that I noticed.  So I finally get to the point where I can sign on to my iMac again, opened up the Chrome browser, and found out that my mouse was was unable to scroll.  I then opened up Firefox and Safari, and found that I could not scroll pages on those browsers either. As a matter of fact, I couldn't scroll using my mouse no matter what app I tried.  That feature was completely lost.  
    I went to ' System Preferences --> Mouse ' to look at the settings, and only the most basic settings were available: click and speed, nothing at all for scrolling or swiping.   That's not good....
    Looking to see if anything else was missing in System Preferences, I saw that there was no option for Blue Tooth at all.  As a matter of fact, Blue Tooth was completely inoperative, and there was literally nothing I could do to make it work.  The Mavericks upgrade had completely trashed Blue Tooth on my iMac.  I have no idea how my wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse were even operational, Apple must have some sort of "back door" that keeps those two connected even when the entire Blue Tooth subsystem is off-line.  
    Since there was absolutely no way to fix this, given the damage done by the Mavericks upgrade, my only choice was to do a complete re-install of Mavericks.  I did this by turning off my iMac, and then after turning it back on, I held down the command + R keys to initiate the "recovery" of my iMac, and re-installed Mavericks. There are screens the are displayed that walk you through the process, which is fairly easy and strait-forward. 
    This above process is a feature called OS X Recovery, and it has been present since Lion.  Here's a link to an article that explains it more fully:
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    I did not know about this feature, but found out about it after doing various web searches in an effort to find a solution to my problem. 
    So, I basically ended up installing Mavericks a second time.  This took hours to accomplish, but it worked.   After the second installation, I signed on, and sure enough, Blue Tooth was back in operation, and my Magic Mouse worked without any problems what so ever.  I had full scrolling ability in all my apps.  
    So OS X Recovery saved the day, at least for me. 
    I should note that before doing the Mavericks upgrade on my iMac, I had already performed the upgrade on a family member's MacBook, without any problems encountered at all.   They were still running Snow Leopard, the orignal OS that came with their MacBook!  Like me they were reluctant to upgrade, but eventually it becomes a necessary evil. 
    Here's hoping that this information may be of use to someone in the future.

  • Mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro HD Upgrade...

    Hello-
    Been looking around here and found many suggestions but wanted to specifically ask before purchasing, so...
    Mid-2009, Macbook Pro, 13".  Want to upgrade the HD to 1TB.  Suggestions on RPM's 5400 vs. 7200?  Also... when I check my current hard drive it says SATA but when I look around sites like Amazon and New Egg I am seeing SATA in various forms like 3.0 gb/s and 6.0 gb/s -- could someone here be kind enough to explain that to me, and also, explain to me if what I am looking for is SATA period or a specific SATA like 3.0 or 6.0?
    Last... any recommendations on a good external enclosure for the HD I'll be pulling out (but intend to use for not only backup, but transfer/migration after the new HD goes in, but in the end as a storage HD)?
    Thanks in advance!!

    That cable isn't cheap, so I wouldn't buy it until you see a problem. Your research was good though. Sometimes the SATA cable is marginal, and when an SSD replaces the HD, the added demand kills it. It's not all of them by any means though, so I'd hold off.

    Do you know how to copy your old drive to the new one? The easiest way is with an external enclosure and Carbon Copy Cloner. You put your new drive in the enclosure and clone it. Then when you swap the drives your new one looks exactly like your old one. Super Duper is another option, but it doesn't clone the Recovery partition. The external enclosure can then be used for your old hard drive, which gives you an external to use for backup or copies of important stuff.

  • Mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro emits high-frequency noise when engaged for sound

    Recently I noticed that when the MacBook Pro activates the sound output device for built-in speakers, a high-pitched whine or noise begins, and does not stop until the card deactivates again.
    The sound is not proportional to brightness, hard drive activity, CPU load, or anything else I've been able to try, except for sound output. When I plug in headphones it cuts out when the sound transfers to the headphones (it's on the same slight delay that the sound change is on). This MBP leads a relatively tame life, although it does travel sometimes. I can't figure out what would have started this sound, but I noticed it start within the last month, and I have confirmed that others hear it in the same quiet environment as I hear it in.

    Give it two or three more weeks to get below 80% and stay there, then take it to an Apple Store for testing. As long as it's still above 80%, it's going to be considered "within spec," so make sure it's below 80% when you take it in.

  • Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

    My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
    When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
    coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
    So my question is two fold:
    1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
    2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
    Cheers,
    James
    nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

    James
    I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
    Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
    Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

  • Mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro scroll is choppy after upgrade from 10.6.8

    Everything is stock except for a Samsung 840 EVO SSD I installed last year. All applications display the choppy scrolling. I enabled TRIM again on the SSD since 10.9.2 disabled it, however this made no difference. I've been looking everywhere for a solution but no luck so far. The OS I currently have is
    OS X 10.9.2 (13C64).  Any ideas?

    I have mid 2012 Macbook Pro, and after the OS X update to form 10.9.1 to 10.9.2, the graphics look really choppy. It concerns almost everything - dock magnification, swiping thorugh spaces, moving windows around the sceen, scrolling in Safari, opening Launch Pad or Mission Control. Restart of the machine did not help. I am really confused about that.

  • Hi, I have a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro and I keep getting a POSIX error when trying to format my new harddrive. Help?

    Hi guys, one day I turned my MacBook Pro on and it was frozen at the login screen, so I did a hard shutdown and restarted it just to get a blank white screen that didn't change. So I took it to the apple store for a genius appointment and they diagnosed the problem as a failed hard drive. So I got a new hard drive and bought snow leopard installation disc since I didn't have my original installation anymore and installed the new harddrive. I go to disc utility to erase it and create a new partition on it so the Mac will recognize it as a viable option to install snow leopard on, and I get a POSIX error that says: "the operation could not be completed. Cannot allocate memory."
    So I call Apple and I'm told that it could very possible be the hard drive cable which is failing me here and not allowing the connection to the HDD. So I ordered the appropriate one on Amazon for my make and model (can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VSZCL4/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit)
    A lot of the reviews say a new one of these cables fixed their problems with the POSIX error, so I'm wondering what you guys think of this? And if you have any other ideas that could help out?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

  • Why did I lose my music when I download and sync a movie

    We're new to ipods and itunes. We had a couple songs on our ipod and wanted to get a movie. It took us awhile to figure out how to sync it, but when we did, we got a message that said it would clear out our other libraries. I should have kept the exact message, but I didn't. I figured, OK, we'll just resync for the music again and went ahead. After resyncing after the movie, I was charged again for the music.
    Now, my son bought new music and synced it, but lost the movie we downloaded. Why does it do that and how can I avoid it?

  • Why did I lose my sound when I updated to 6.1?

    No, it is not happening to a lot of people.
    Those that are smart enough to backup their important data regularly have no issues at all.
    For what silly reason would anyone attempt an update on their device without first ensuring a backup of all the important data on the device existed?
    For what silly reason would any intelligent person rely on a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged as sole storage of important data?

  • Why did I lose my applications when updating to new version?

    I have just updated to the latest version for my iPad. Lost all applications. In fact it has taken my iPhone4 applications and put it on the iPad. WHY????????????? Please help. Thanks

    You can sync the apps back to the iPad if they are in iTunes on your computer.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes - If you auto sync, let the process complete.
    Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes under the devices heading.
    Click on the Apps Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
    Click on each app that you want to sync to the device - uncheck each app that you do not want to sync
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
    iTunes will now remember the iPad's configuration for the next time that you sync. Do the same thing with your iPhone - iTunes will remember that configuration as well.
    You can always download apps again at no charge (if all else fails) as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.

  • Why did I lose my apps after upgrading iOS5

    Hardware: iPhone 4
    Problem: Upgraded my iOS on my phone to iOS 5... lost all my apps.
                   Apps still show up in iTunes.
                   Can NOT drag and drops Apps to "re-install" on my iPhone
                   CAN "re-install" apps from my iPhone via the App Store
    Bigger Problem:
                             Does iTunes not have functionality to "drag and drop" and install apps to a device? 
    I really don't want to go through the effort of having to select each app via the app store... I thought Apple was smarter?

    Go through each tab and select what content to sync.
