I don't know how to automate it, but the fastest alternative is to option-click the volume icon in the menu bar and change your sound output that way.

I guess that way works, I never knew about the alternate click as I never had the icon in my dock.

So Finder keeps on restarting, the only way I notice is that the desktop icons flash for a split second. Console logs are, well, huge:


At this point with the apps not staying logged in bug I think I might as well just do a fresh install.

All of the really useful information is above what you're looking at there. (E.g., backtrace of the crashed thread and application-specific information field.)

So I've been having problems with my email accounts in AirMail not syncing properly, basically not getting emails pushed. I removed all my accounts and then deleted the app and went to download the app again from the MAS but it's now prompting me to purchase the app again. That said $1.99 isn't bank breaking but I don't see why I should have to purchase an app that I've already previously purchased. Who would be more appropriate to contact to get this resolved, Apple Support or AirMail Support?

Edit: Now it's not showing $1.99 BUY so, I'm installing it again. :iiam:

No clue about Pocket but for Instapaper note that you need a paid account. I use it for Feedly and it's alright, I'm fine enough with it that I'm not going to bother looking for another app at least.

I just switched over to mavericks and decided to make safari my default browser but I've having issues playing youtube videos from Vevo or playing videos straight from the Vevo website. It keeps telling me that I need to update my flash when I try to view their videos on youtube and that I need to install flash when I try to view videos on the Vevo website. Videos play fine in Firefox and my googlefu is turning up nothing recent that seems relevant.

I'm idiot. I haven't used safari in so long I forgot that I had disabled plugins :(

I have a different Mavericks/gmail/IMAP issue than the one that was mentioned a couple pages back. There are some emails in my inbox that I've read and just want to put into an archive folder/gmail label, but every time I do it from mail.app it looks like it went fine then some hours later it's back in my inbox. It's annoying as heck. Anyone seen this?

Sounds fairly similar to most of the issues people are having. Supposedly there's an update in testing right now to address the issues.

The problem with ReadKit is it just makes you want Reeder (2) for OS X to hurry up.

It's gotten way better since launch but I still find it crappy enough I do all my RSS reading in-browser or on my phone.

Personally I wouldn't bother.

Well, this sure is a user-friendly dialog that was sitting there when I logged in this morning:



Installation of what? And where's my Cancel button? Also, iTunes isn't even running, and pressing that magnifying glass starts it up.

It turns out iTunes was running for another user, so the only way to dismiss this was to kill the process in Activity Monitor, but boy, not a good design here. I still have no idea what app was updating.

Exactly my experience, bar a few minor rendering bugs using YouTube5 to convert embedded videos to HTML5, the Feedly web page works better for me on most usage than ReadKit. I do really miss switching to Readability view for the full feed in the article though.

I had similar weird issues; I was happily watching a movie on my AppleTV (streaming from my iTunes library) when it suddenly stopped and it couldn't find my library anymore.

Had a look at the Mac and iTunes had tried to update itself, and had managed to kill iTunes, but was showing a dialogue saying iTunes needed to be quit before it could continue... It feels like it may have been to hasty with all it's automatic update killyness. I hope other apps don't start doing similar things because that would be annoying.

I've an Airmail issue: it won't stay open. Every time I come to check on the computer (like in the morning, or later in the day) I find that it has crashed. Sometimes it does crash when just running in the background while I'm doing something else. It's vague, I know, but I can't come up with any relevant details, other than that the app and my OS are both up to date.

This isn't even causing any appreciable harm, it's just really annoying.

MacRumors said there are new builds of OS X Mavericks at Apple for employee testing, with fixes to Mail.

quote:

Reportedly nicknamed "Board," OS X 10.9.1 will be released later in the month to fix several bugs introduced with OS X 10.9.

Since the release of Mavericks, users have reported several different issues, with the Mail app, mostly related to Gmail accounts. Apple has already seeded an updated Mail app to its employees and AppleSeed members, and it is possible that a Mail fix could be bundled into the next public Mavericks release.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Has anyone noticed the autocorrect in Mavericks being way too sensitive? For example type "6ish" and hit space. It'll autocorrect to "fish." I vaguely remember that prior to Mavericks I can just hit cmd+z to undo the auto correct and move on but try it now in Mavericks and it'll just undo the entire text entry. If you wait long enough then you can get Mavericks to just undo the autocorrect, but now try hitting space again and it'll autocorrect right back and there's nothing you can do to make it stop.

It's really annoying when my words aren't spelled wrong.

Is there any converter/way to get Keynote 5.3 to open Keynote 6 documents?

I have a client that can't upgrade to Mavericks yet due to a bunch of scientific third-party software that will break once they do. However someone sent them a Keynote 6 document that is obviously not opening. Are they just hosed?

If anyone runs across a fix for Chrome's refusal to scroll with anything but the up and down keys, shout it out because holy christ this is annoying. And no, setting scrollbars to show always doesn't fix it. What I'm reading is it's not a Mac problem, it's a Chrome problem.

Goddamnit, I finally gave up on Chrome and switched to Firefox: same drat problem, mouse scrolling just dies after a few minutes. Used to be this was a problem that happened every 3-4 days - today it's happened half a dozen times, and only in these two apps. If I restart the browser that fixes it, but only temporarily. And it's not just a bad mouse or a dead battery - when it goes, my trackpad scrolling goes with it.

In all honesty it does a lot of good. The only problems are somewhat edge cases like my problem above, and maybe names that Mavericks thinks are misspelled.

So I'm getting a new Mac this weekend, and I use Boot Camp a lot. Will I need to do anything to de-authorize my current computer's Windows installation or anything to avoid some alarm going off in a Microsoft bunker when I set up my new machine's Boot Camp partition, or can I just go ahead and set it up without doing anything first?

I assume you are going to use the same product key? If you deactivate it on the old installation you'll have a better shot at a hassle-free activation on the new one. Even then, you may still need to go through the automated phone system.

I had this problem a while back, ended up being a version of BetterTouchTool in my case. If you're using it (or some other mouse thing) check for updates I guess.

Why would you have to reinstall everything? Just run the Mavericks installation again over your current version and it'll update it just fine.
