Acess to my Macbook Air
I had an almost similar experience, but very very worst. I had been enabled my automatic login in Mountain Lion system. After up dated it to Maverics, when the Macbook Air is restarted, the acess screen show me the users, but don't grant me acess even if type the correct password.
Resume: I can't disable the automatic login because I don't have acess.
I'll appreciate any help.

The app "NameChanger" won't work for me anymore, just crashes whenever I try and do anything with it

Since my sleep wake failure/restart incident this past Wednesday, I have been seeing a ridiculous amount of memory bleed and beach balls on my 2010 iMac.
I have 12gb of RAM installed and just checked Activity Monitor after the latest round of beach balls - could not believe almost 8gb of RAM were being used for nothing - Safari one window open, Firefox open but no windows/tabs.
I am very disappointed in Mavericks and hope multiple fixes come soon.

Issues
1. I have a 2013 11" MBA (maxed specs) connected to a Cinema Display. When I wake the MBA after it goes to sleep I have no sound through the Cinema Display speakers. If I unplug the mini display plug (in the Thunderbolt port) and reconnect it the sound comes back.
2. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks I usually get this notification... "iPad Not Charging... Connect to a power adapter or a USB port on this Mac to charge." Before Mavericks, this powered USB hub would charge the devices and allow me to sync. However, now they still allow syncing but won't let me charge the iPads.
Anyone else?

My iTunes keeps quitting on me after I play a song or midway through one.
I don't know how many crash reports my computer has sent to Apple in the past 2 days (thread 9 errors) and I've tried everything from resetting the NVRAM to reinstalling iTunes to even going the extra mile and having an Apple Support tech remote view my computer.
Nothing.
The thing is that it just started from the past 2 days on. It had been working fine until now, and I installed Mavericks the day it came out.
Now I think about it, it started after I bought the iPad Air.
****. Now I'm confused.

Same here, it ruins the experience entirely. In addition the trackpad just occasionally freezes, even with a gen. 1 rmbp.
Dock keeps getting stuck?
Updated both my mid-2010 15 MBP and Haswell 13 MBA to Mavericks... on both computers I frequently experience problems with the Dock. I have magnification enabled and the dock will often freeze magnification at a random point and won't reset until I try to click an icon (often resulting in clicking the wrong icon). This happens most often when I'm switching desktops or from a full screen app back to the desktop. It's frustrating with stacks too. Every time I click through a group of folders in a Stack, the dock's magnification will adjust to be centered under the mouse... the Stack then shifts to follow the new magnification focus, so my Stack ends up moving every time I click to open a deeper folder. This isn't something I've experienced on any prior version of OS X so I'm a bit frustrated by it...
I tried to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing and haven't had much success...

Since I upgraded from 10.6 to 10.9, my wifi disconnects randomly all the time. Nothing else has changed; the computer and router are in exactly the same place as they were. This happens multiple times per hour all day long. Is has made it impossible for me to download large files.
I originally upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9. I've since done a SMC/NVRAM reset and done a clean install of 10.9 and my 2 issues still exist on my Mac Mini Mid 2010.
1) Glitchy graphics. At various times I'll get messed up graphics on the screen, I don't think I've gone longer than 2 days without the issue happening. I did the clean install last night and found the graphics messed up this late afternoon. The system isn't frozen, I'm able to use the trackpad to have the system restart.
2) Sound output preferences. If I have something plugged into the audio output on the mini, say a mini-jack extension, I'm unable to choose HDMI as my default audio output. It'll immediately jump back to the "headphone". If I leave that unplugged, I'm able to choose HDMI. I was able to leave the extension plugged in all the time under 10.6

Install better touchtool and assign the three finger forward/back to the shortcuts cmd+{ and cmd+} which are the shortcuts for forward and back in finder.
Boom problem solved.
Glitchy Graphic solution
I can help with this issue. Go to System Preferences - Energy Saver - and turn off then on Automatic graphics switching. It worked for me.

There was never such a thing, I think.
But you can do it with BetterTouchTool, I have this enabled and works well in ML and Mavericks.

Just to balance things a bit, no major problems with Mavericks so far.
The jury is still out, though as I run several machines (iMac at work, iMac at home, Mac Mini on living room, MacBook Air) and only upgraded two of them. However, the experience in my work iMac has been pretty much flawless so far. Only minor issue, restarting apps on a secondary monitor in the right places (Mavericks displaces some windows to the right, hope it is patched soon).
Nevertheless, I use gmail on the web (not Mail) and Firefox as the main browser so I have not tested Mail or Safari much.
Magic mouse kept disconnect
I had this issue when my magic mouse would disconnect and reconnect every few minutes or so... very annoying...
Battery level was reported as 100%... I unpaired-repaired, rebooted, etc. Nothing worked.
I have changed to a fresh set of batteries and that worked... My guess is that the battery level is reported wrong and they were close to being depleted...

After upgrading to Mavericks my 2010 iMac kernel panics and restarts nonstop. Twice I got it to stay on and work until the next time I rebooted it. I've removed various programs, all external peripherals, and the aftermarket ram I had in it. I'd post the kernel panic log somewhere for help, but I can't get it to stay on long enough.
Usually 3 to 4 weeks after initial release. Developers already have it and are testing. Should be another week or two.
i've had 3 hard crashes (had to hold down power to reset) tonight on my 2011 mbp. twice using after effects (which i initially felt was to blame), but then again when all i had open was safari.
i also recalled both my laptop and my parents iMac had similar hard crashes on first boot after installing mavericks (parents did an upgrade install, i did a clean install from the recovery partition).
i'm starting to wonder if mavericks has some serious kernel panic issues...

DNS Bug
This is an annoying bug which requires user intervention.
The dns service does not refresh/restart when waking from sleep or when connecting to another wifi station/ssid ie. Accessing local servers/devices by their assigned dns name via a browser or terminal after automatically reconnecting to a previously registered ssid/network but coming from another ssid/network (home/workplace scenario) would result in a timeout / name not found error.
The workaround to this bug would be to manually power off/on the internal wifi card. The command dscacheutil -flushcache does absolutely nothing!

My calculator (on the right) isn't missing anything.. Did you upgrade or carried out a clean install?

Safari WILL NOT save any bookmarks
I cannot get my bookmarks to save on my Safari browser.
I updated to Maverick and after shut down and reboot all my favourites within the favourites bar was removed.
I even re imported them into Safari twice before and when I reboot my macbook the following day everything is gone.
APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS!
