Just upgraded to Lion. Scroll does not respond. Have tried altering preferences. Will not fix. In all applications, including this page, a box appears and seems to randomly move around the screen, resting wherever I begin to work. How can I turn this off and get scroll to work normally?

Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.
(Command - F5).

I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" window on my iMac running Google chrome after I close it or when the imac is switched on. Any ideas what is causing it and can I get rid of it?

I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" windown on my mac after closing Google Chrome or on start up. Any ideas what it is, what is causing it and how to get rid of it?
Many thanks

Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

My little red circle with a 1 in it that looks like an update, is on my MAC desktop, I have no idea what it is for or how to get rid of it

On my desktop on the dock, where the calendar app is, there is a rd circle with a 1 in it like the ones on iphone that show up for u pdates, I have never seen this on my desktop, does anyone know what it means? I don't think it is for an update?

Cheryl,
The number "1" means that you have an event invitation. Open iCal and use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

Currently I have several browsers sitting on my toolbar and want to get rid of them, please tell me how.

On my toolbar I have the following browsers:
Start now (bing)
AVG
nero
ALot
These have been installed by third party programmes and we only wish to use the mozilla browser. How can I remove them. I have a bookmarks list with mozilla/firefox and wish to keep it intact.

Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

Hi,
I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though. Toggling the wifi setting clears
the issue temporarily but it occurs again. Running iOS 8.3 now. This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well.
I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. It is configured with all bands with the same name.
All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on? This seems to solve a lot of problems.

We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?

An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
Additional issue -
You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

I have this question mark (?) in the upper left corner of my Finder windows. Anyone know what's up with that, what it might portend, and how to get rid of it?

Are you sure you have a PowerMac? They can't run Mac OS 10.6.8. Maybe a Mac Pro instead?
Can you post a screen shot of that portion of the screeen for us to review? Does the question mark replace the Apple that's at the left end of the menubar?

I have a 2011 tahoe. My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone. Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work. Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
Good luck.

Your post doesn't mention whether you are getting any errors from your iPod or that it's a case where deleting in the usual ways doesn't work so I'm unsure what your issue is. In normal use, how you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

I would like to create the a swatch, add it to the library and import to the swatch panel. The help pages available relate to earlier versions of Muse, which does not work with the 2014.2 release version that I have. I have created a library folder, imported the colour swatch as just 4 colours as a mulib file. I drag the four colours on to the muse page in design view but that is as far as I get. Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for
everyone allow read, write
Details in the manpage for chmod. The actual steps are left as an exercise.

Hi,
If you are trying to utilize AirPrint you need an HP compatible printer listed here.

Have just upgraded to Lion. In all applications a box now appears that encloses topics, etc on the screen. It is a problem as it also randomly moves around the screen. Have no idea what the purpose is and want to get rid of it. Scroll does not work.
