Can't click on destop and get desktop since 10.5.2

I've suffered like so many other with the disappearing hard drive icon, but if
I opened a new window by clicking on the desktop, I could get to it. And of
course, that hasn't been fixed in this update.
I upgraded to 10.5.2- now I click on the desktop and nothing happens. I
can have no other programs open and it still will not go back to the Finder.
Am I the only one?

Clicking desktop does not set focus to finder for me since 10.5.2. I have no solution, but try this... open any app with a blue barber pole progress bar (like starting a software update) and check to see if the desktop click issue has gone away!
This is quite bizarre. It is repeatable on other things like backup.app or repair permissions... anything that displays one of these progress bars seams to fix the problem. It also appears to fix the poor video performance.
Of course, once the bar disappears and you switch focus to another app, the problem is back.

Lori --
What can I say, but thank you, thank you and thank you!
Your timely response saved the day -- it was a little hairy there for a while, with .jpg files all over the desktop, but after resorting to pen and paper (still necessary at times) and recording the numbers of all files, I am now good to go.
The little green star and the bogue award of 10 points doesn't begin to convey how helpful your post, but it's all we're given (plus these words, of course).
To briefly sum up -- This morning (after the debacle last evening that started all this) I was trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my photos were lost for good and that I had only myself to blame.
Now, I have all my photos back (more than 200 hundred, some of them really kind of cool, if I do say so myself) and all are now sitting nicely in iPhoto waiting to be manipulated, edited and otherwise toyed with.
All thanks to you, Lori.
Not that I wish the heartache I just went through over the last 24 hours on anyone, but I do hope that I get the chance to help someone out as much as I was helped out today. Good Karma and all that.
This site flat out rules!
Thanks again.

Click "Burn CD" and get told to "Insert Blank CD

I click burn cd and get a message telling me to insert a blank cd and then my blank cd I have in the drive gets automatically ejected. I don't get any other error message and this happens every time. I've tried reinstalling itunes as well as totally removing itunes from my computer and downloading it again, and I still have the problem. I have the most recent version of itunes, 8.2 I believe.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Seems relaunching the Finder fixed it for me. See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/216789?start=0&tstart=0

I had an App on MacBook Air which would cause my computer to be locked. I delted it and reinstalled the App again from the AppStore. Now I am being charged again for the same App. How can I correct this issue and get refund for the double billing?

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

The genius bar folks will be glad to help...and if you have backed up your iPhone in iCloud they will restore the backup to the replacement iPhone for you while you wait.
Call or email for an appointment, you don't want to add to your frustration by standing around waiting for someone to get free to help you.

Do you mean sending email?
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Try going to iTunes Store from the left column, then Account, then Purchase History, then Manage Gifts.

Can i turn off icloud and get my contacts back?

just upgraded the operating system, and inadvertantly selected icloud. dont want it. all my contacts are gone from my phone. Can I turn it off, and get them back?

Unfortunately, no. This only stops your contacts syncing with iCloud; it won't restore them to your phone if they're gone. Unless you backed them up somewhere, you'll have to recreate them.

Can I upgrade both lines and get a good deal

Can I upgrade both lines and get a very good deal even though only one line is eligible for the upgrade

What exactly do you mean by a "very good deal"? Discounts for BOTH lines??
If only one line is eligible for an upgrade, then you can only get a discounted phone for that line. You can get a new phone for the in-eligible line if you pay full price.
You'll be able to take advantage of the BOGO deals and other discounts when BOTH lines are eligible.

Forgive me if my solution to your problem is oversimplistic, but if the movies are too expensive for you, don't buy them.

HT4972 I have an iphone 4s and it's telling me that there is a software update available to iOS 6. When I got to "settings" on my phone, the "download and install" tab is not highlited and I can't click on it to get the update.

I have an iphone 4s. I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6. When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it. Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download. So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes. When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place. I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port. I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.
