I'm not new to computers, I'm rather tech minded. That being said, I'm no expert either. Mac is still new to me. I dabbled in Linux for quite a few years. I upgraded to Mavericks and had lots of problems, and a super slow computer. I'm sure it has been my ignorance that got me to this point. I installed Homebrew, then removed it, installed Macports, and then removed it. I had quite a bit of trial and error stuff trying to figure out what I was doing. In the end, I had a real mess of an install. I decided it was time for a fresh start. I backed up with Time Machine, and Rsync for my docs on another drive. After completely wiping the drive, and re-formatting it and installing Mavericks, I had to get my data back in. Being unsure how to do that, I finally found some guides to get my data back on my computer. I used Migration Assistant in the end, and was rather un-impressed at my options to restore detailed stuff. So in the end, Mavericks is running faster, but I'm concerned it isn't 100%. Poking around, I read to open Console and check out the errors. I have errors like every second. I'm quite overwhelmed at the perspective of troubleshooting, and fixing all these errors. You can see the screen shot. Perhaps these aren't errors? I really don't know, and I'm not really sure what my next step should be. Reinstall, and NOT use migration to get my data back on the computer?
I currently have a Time machine backup, a Carbon Copy Cloner (trial) backup, and my rusty trusty rsync that I actually understand a little better than both of those other backup methods. So if it would be best to wipe and re-install, I'm prepared for that better this time. However, I need a better understanding of the restore process I should use to avoid importing all the problems from previous installs. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
