Why did Mavericks disconnet my wi-fi connection?
I downloaded the free Mavericks upgrade and installed with no problem. However, for some reason my Linksys wi-fi network connection was disconnected and now I cannot reconnect unless I use the guest connection. I've tried entering the password for the main connection for my iMac but it won't go.
Any help?
Thanks.
I can establish an unsecure connection but nothing else. I tried uninstalling my Cisco Linksys router and resetting and reinstalling with the Cisco Setup Install CD, but I just keep getting a message that the router only supports certain OS and no other dialog windows. If this keeps up maybe I should just get a new wi-fi router and start from scratch? My current one is about two years old.

Why did Mavericks slow down my MBP?
Did some digging in Discussions and found that a slow-down problem is common after installing Mavericks.
EtreCheck was recommended as a diagnostic first step. I have a report but I am not confident to act on any items without advice. Here it is - help appreciated.

Anything in Startup Items could be a problem. Apple declared Startup Items to be obsolete in 2006 so this is software that hasn't been updated since before then or they are following the doing the don't-update-until-it-breaks plan.
I suggest uninstalling these problems to see if that fixes things. Always use the vendor-provided uninstaller or uninstallation instructions. Never try to do it manually. That could only make things worse. You may need to download a new installer that may come with an uninstaller. Unfortunately, installers, and especially uninstallers, are a weak point of OS X compared to Windows.

Remove these too. iStat seems to have an invalid plist file. KeyAccess has a support link that may eventually lead you to an uninstaller.

Notice a trend? This is why I say to use vendor-provided uninstallers.

Some of the same software is here. At least with Login Items, you can remove items very easily and put them back later if they prove innocent. -
Why did Mavericks block my access to iPhoto?
It warned me on install that Photoshop Elements wouldn't work, but I don't recall seeing it tell me that iphoto would be torpedoed too. Is there an easy fix? I assume all the photos on my drive are still there, just inaccessible right now.
Did you run Software Update and see if there is an updated version? If you do have iLife '11, you should be able to update it to a version that works with Mavericks.
If it is actually an older version of iPhoto, then you'll have to purchase the current version. -

Why did Mavericks upgrade not remove iWork 09 when App Store was used to upgrade?
OS X v10.9.1... iMac 09
I have both versions of Pages, Keynote, & .Numbers. Perhaps this is a good thing!
I was under the impression that OS X would tacitly remove the older version.
What? Thanks....The newer version cannot open pre-iWork 09 files. The older version is kept in case you have older files that have to be converted to the '09 format so that they can be imported into the current apps.

Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?10.8.5 is the lates ML edition. I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup. If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup. You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files. The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files. That should fix the permissions issue. I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

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.

Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?
File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs. The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc. I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac. I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect. Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?
When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.
I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time! -
i can no longer connect to itunes. a message comes up "we could not complete your itunes request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later. but when i use a different acct. it goes through right away . why did this start happening?
I don't know - but I am having the same problem and have not had any useful help from Apple Support. Everything they told be to do has been done and it hasn't fixed the problem.

Tried to update, screen said verifying update. then said to plug into itunes. itunes (on home PC) said ipad was in recovery mode and I need to restore to factory settings to move ahead, losing all my stuff. Obviously traumatic. Do I do this? why did this happen?
The best way to backup your iPad is the way that makes the most sense in your situation and the way that works best for you. There is no hard and fast answer. But since you asked .....
I prefer using iTunes because I don't have to worry about having enough space available in iCloud. You are allotted 5GB of space with the free iCloud account, but that is really not that much storage space at all. You can purchase more space, but IMO, its crazy to pay for cloud storage if you have your own computer. On top of that, you have more control when you use your computer. You can backup the content on your computer in order to have backups of backups. You can't do that with iCloud. Another disadvantage to using iCloud is that you always need to be connected to WiFi in order to backup to iCloud. Not everybody always has access to WiFi every minute of every day.
Read this and see if it helps you make your decision. If you have more questions, post again and ask.

I have an iphone 4s and upgrade to ios6. It wont connect now after the upgrade to itunes and the itunes doesnt regonize the device. Im so freaking sad. Please somebody give me a fix. Why did I have to upgrade to ios6? Please somebody let me see the light.
I cant even get into itunes because it wont recognize it to do a reboot or a rollback.The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
You're on your own. Good luck. -
Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?
It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

Why did I loose all my apps when I connected iPad to Mac?
Why did I loose all my apps from my iPad when I transferred my photos from my Mac?
Without knowing all of the information we can only guess .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync and sync again.
Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.
