CLICKING DOESNT WORK, HELP!!!

I was using my mac as usual when suddenly the whole screen crashed and when I hard rebooted I couldn't use my trackpad to click anything and also hovering over the dock doesn't make it magnify, I've also tried using a wired mouse and nothing, again not able to click anything. HELP PLEASE!

Start with this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the problem persists then most likely some system files were damaged by the abnormal shutdown. In this case you need to reinstall Snow Leopard which does not erase your hard drive, so all your data will be unaffected.
If this still doesn't fix the problem, then you may have a hardware problem in which case you need to take the computer in for service.

Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

Unless you're trying to tether your phone to your computer or create a personal hotspot, it won't pair with your computer by bluetooth. File transfer by bluetooth is not supported. So, you can quit trying unless you're trying to tether.

I droped my z10 in the water screen touch doesnt work HELP!

I accedently dropped my z10 in the toilet. I put it in rice for 3 days. the screen turns on and you can see everything on there but when i try swiping to unlocking it or answering calls where the calling swipe appears the touch swipe doesnt work on that part so it wont allow me to answer calls of unlock? what should i do? Please help I love my z10!

More time in the rice.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

My iPhone is frozen. It was working find about a hour ago and then for no reason the screen went to the apple logo. I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work. When I press the power/lock button and the center key it turns off but then it comes right back to the apple logo screen and wont go any further. Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up! I dont know what to do.....

Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

People Cannot Hear Me When I make Calls on iPhone 4, Bought a new iPhone 4, uploaded all of my own information from the backup, and it still doesnt work, help!

I went in to apple, they couldnt figure it out, I am on AT&T so I was figuring on going into their store today and seeing if its something with the network, if not I am going back to apple, but this is literally a brand new phone i bought yesterday, not refurbished or anything, brand new, does anyone know why this isnt working? Everything else works fine, the mics both work, its just when I make calls or someone calls me the mic doesnt work.

When you see the same issue on more than one hardware device, it means that the problem is likely to exist outside of the hardware. Two things to investigate would be the software/firmware on the backup and issues with the cellular network. It's probably safe to rule out the cellular network as well.
First, make sure that you have imported copies of all the information (pictures, videos, documents) on the device. Do this thorough itunes, and the applications (photographic and document processing) on your computer. Perform a firmware update then restore the device as new. If the problem persists, then you may actually have the worst luck and discovered two devices with an identical issue.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!. Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

Indesign CS6 crashed, can't be started again (missing required fonts, cmap files). Reinstalled -- doesnt work. help?

hi,
my indesign CS6 worked perfectly until yesterday afternoon, when it suddenly crashed and wont open again. all it says is "There are required system fonts or cmap files missing. reinstall indesign". Did that, with the cc cleaner, but that doesnt work!
working on windows 7, sp1 -- never had any problems.
all i can find in other forums is about the cs2, which is fairly outdated. why does this happen?! all my other programs from the master collection work fine!

ok, after a quite frustrating weekend the problem seems to have solved itself. what i did (for future requests):
- downloaded cs6 master collection (since i had my cds not with me)
- deinstalled old install
- wiped the system with the adobe cc cleaner tool to get everything off
- restart
- install cs6
- same error. no chance of doing anything.
i then installed a trial version on another computer to at least render my pdf. i then tried something new: i put the cmap & fonts (in C:/Programs/Common Files/Adobe/PDFL) from the working pc on a usb drive. when i "backed up" my PDFL Folder on my main pc into a zip (just in case), i gave indesign another try. it then started up -- since it was the first time a bit slower than usual, but it's back on track.

Slider doesnt work. help pls!

Slider doesnt work. Cannot unlock screen and cannot shut it down. Tried rebooting it but doesnt respond either.

Note: Data will not be affected.

My right click doesnt work properly

when i am in my fb game (its the only time i use it) my right click menu doesnt diplay all the options everytime, and it also take repeated clicking for it to respond.... can anyone help me on this?

Hi bb007,
I'm sorry to hear that...
This seems to me like a Hardware Concern.
Try going for a generic touchpad driver and see if he issue is still the same.
Open Device Manager and Open the Mice and other pointing device.
Uninstall the Devices under it and make sure to place a check mark on the Delete driver software prompt.
Restart the computer and check the issue if still the same.
If still the same then I Guess you will need to call Lenovo Technical Support for Hardware assistance.
Regards

In order to quit the program i have to force quited from finder

try rebuilding the library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys - select all options
If that does not work download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild function
If neither of these work then you will have to create a new library - quit iPhoto, drag the iPhoto library to the desktop, launch iPhoto and create a new library and open the iphoto library on your desktop and open the originals folder and drag each folder in it to the iPhoto icon in the dock

Had to rebuild PC and now AE doesnt work - HELP!

My PC got all hogged-up with spyware and I had to rebuild. Now nothing works.
Currently, my PC connects via ethernet to a Linksys router w/ phone ports (vonage box), then to a Linksys 4-pt wireless router, then to the cable modem. I also have a laptop which connects to the wireless router for Internet, which is working fine.
Its been a while since I originally set this up, so maybe Im doing somthing dumb? I plugged AE into stereo, re-set to factory defaults and plugged it in (currently blinking amber). I installed the AirPort Utility on my PC, and it just comes back saying "unable to find any airport base stations".
I did also remove a wireless PCI card from the PC, but Im not sure it even worked and dont think it was being used in my scenario???
Ive restored the AE to factory default and uninstalled, and reinstalled Airport Utility several times. Not sure what to try next... any help?

If i have learnt anything about Apple its this.
Never, ever, ever, ever upgrade to anything until it is verging on obsolete. This way you can have stuff that works and let the upgraders have the grief of ironing out the bugs.
Also i have noticed Apple never say anything but 'versions' keep appearing that will hopefully fix your problem/other's problems. 7.7.1 fixd my Touch and as far as i am concerned that is it for me with upgrades.
They can keep the 2.0 i am afraid. £10 to turn a £300 machine into a high tech brick...no thanks.
Hope you get everything sorted anyway.

Ipod touch wont turn on, holding buttons doesnt work, HELP!!

So last night, I went to bed setting my iPod next to me on the floor. I wake up this morning, and it will not respond to anything I press. I charged it for an hour, I held the power button, home button, both, for over a minute each. I need help... I don't know if I can send it in with a warranty being valid, I got it as a present used for Christmas. I'm so angry at Apple, it seems like this is a common problem, but everyone else's operates after holding the buttons. It is an iPod Touch, 4th gen, 32 gb. It doesnt connect to iTunes, it won't show up as charging, and it will not turn on or respond.

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod.
- Next try DFU mode

- If you have an Apple store nearby then make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. It is free.
- You can check you warranty by entering the SN here:

- The following provides the instructions for sending it to Apple.
