So lets try to sort out what happened here. I will go though what I
think the situation is(with additional questions), you correct me if I
am wrong.
1) You are using a Mac.
What version of OS X?
How did you install the old version/new version of Postgres?
2) You where running Postgres 9.2 and then you uninstalled that package.
Under Postgres 9.2 everything worked.
3) You installed the Postgres 9.3 server package.
4) You installed pgAdmin 1.18.1
5) You are trying to run Postgres 9.3 over a 9.2 data directory.
This should serve to start us out.
