Finder "Documents" shows folder names but I cannot click on any of the folders or files?

Any idea what is going on here? Only happens if I navigate to 'Documents" from the Finder Sidebar. If I go to 'Documents' through my user root, it is fine.

And what happens if you change the view to List? What should be displayed in place of the circle is an icon. Is your Home folder relocated by chance? Or is the Documents folder relocated? I would start by this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

khryzpher,
your model MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test comes on one of those two grey installation DVDs; it’s an essential tool for troubleshooting. You’re going to need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair for your MacBook Pro; be sure to have its serial number handy.
Your model MacBook Pro didn’t originally come with Snow Leopard installed at the factory. If you don’t have the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, then I’d also recommend that you purchase that, in case your hard drive fails and you’d like to install Snow Leopard onto its replacement.

I have added more songs to my library. Half of the library has selected ticks but when I click on any of the others to select them the whole song disappears from the list. Why and what can I do to fix?

Hey Paul,
If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

Hello,
My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
'option-o' --opens selected items
'option-w' --closes an open window
This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417). Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

Firefox offers to save my tabs when I close it, but when I reopen it they are all blank pages and I cannot click on any except the one already displayed, though I can highlight and close the others..

I have looked at various help topics but nothing is working; I have not deleted my history lately and nothing in my preferences is checked to do so automatically. I also tried deleting 'sessionstore.js' but that didn't help either. Firefox acknowledges that there are other tabs open by making them pop a little when my mouse goes over them, and as I said I can still close tabs that are not currently displayed, but I cannot click on them to bring them up.

Im getting texts from some of my contacts that no longer show their name but come across with 1 followed by the phone number.

after updating my iphone 5 c to the latest iOS version, i am getting texts from some (not all) of my contacts that no longer display the name but only +1 followed buy the phone number. Is there something that needs to be adjusted in the settings to fix ths problem?

Open your contact list and swipe down from the top. You can filter your contact list by account. Anything not in any of the listed contact types is a local contact. It would help if we could narrow down where the contacts were stored previously vs. where they are stored now.

I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Macbook Pro. When I go to the iCloud site, I sign in, but when I click on any of the apps (Contacts, Calendar, etc), I get a pop up message telling to enable said app by setting up iCloud. Help?

Hi,
I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Mac. When I go to iCloud on the web, sign in, and click on one of the apps (Calendar, contacts, etc.), I get a message telling me to enable the app on my iOS device - which I've already done. Any idea why it's not working for me? Thanks!

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

I cannot click on any links the first 1/4 of the page in Firefox, after a certain area then I am able to click on hyperlinks.

Firefox has been working great, until I booted this morning. The first part of the page below the toolbar, about 1/4, if there are any search fields or hyperlinks I am unable to select those. After a certain point. only then am I able to make selections,chat, or anything else that requires a selection. All other browsers work fine.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

Go to this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?country=AU
Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

My google search bar shows history but i cannot click on the history items to return to a previous site

With firefox 3, I could click on the google search bar for history, then click on any of the history items, it would go into the google bar and I could search without retyping the address. In firefox 4 when I click on a history item, the google bar stays unchanged so to find the site I have to type in the details. When I start typing, the suggestions are shown but when I click on them nothing happens and I still have to enter the full address.

8. This is only happening in one site collection, on other site collections this is working
Anyone please help me on this

Thanks Darrell,
Apologies for my delayed response. I wish it was that simple! When I publish, the files are saved throughout the site with files from my 7 other animations (some of which I've decided not to use). Very confusing for an Edge noob. Anyway I've identified and collected them all using Finder into a folder to zip. Now I have to finish sorting about 1.25 GB of images (when I started experimenting with Edge I made the mistake of using big pixel dimensions and many duplicates of varying sizes) that aren't in the animation I want to send you. I don't know which ones to delete without inserting each one in the edge animate composition first as distinguishing the names in the library seems to be a lost cause. Thanks for your patience and I'll send the zipped file with the pruned images within 48 hrs. I'm working with a full laptop that's at the end of its natural life so its taking a lot longer. I hope the whole problem is because of my huge image folder and not to do with javascript etc. The animations work fine by themselves in any browser and after publishing by themselves it seems. Just not in DW...
Cheers, Gene.
