hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

thank you, i have tried you suggestion but it is still just prompting me to restart rather than allowing me to install the os from the os boot disk. the problem began when the macbook was just showing me a folder icon with a question mark on it rather than starting normally. reading through forums lead me to replace the hard drive and hard drive data cable to try and resolve the issue. however, even after having done this the folder with the question mark is still appearing. i cannot get the os istall disk to boot properly. it recognises that the disk is in the drive but continually prompts me to restart and wont allow me to boot from the disk. sorry if my previouse discription wasnt accurate. does this soun familliar and can you help with this more detailed discription of the problem? thank you.

  • My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on the screen but it allows me to scroll  up and down by sliding my fingers on the mouse.

    My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on screen. However, it is allowing me to scroll text up and down by dragging my fingers on the mouse.  How can I recover full use? I am using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. All indications are that the mouse is connected through the Bluetooth connection and the batteries have significant life in them.

    Have you tried this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#7
    Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
    The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
    Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
    Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
    If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.

    I transferred data to my MacBook Pro, then I accidentally did an UNDO and all the data desapeared....What can I do to recover it???

    Sorry, but it's probably lost, then, presuming you never made a backup. There's a dim chance that you could recover at least some of the data using a file recovery utility such as Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering, but the chances aren't good and get lower the more you use your computer.

  • My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

    my macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

    likely display inverter board.
    did you get your inverter board replaced already?
    Did you have a question?
    If the diagnostic in shop indicates same, thats 1000X better than anyone can do online in "diagnosis" (not really genuine diagnosis of course)

  • I sync my iphone with my office computer, but what I really would like to do is syncing only the calendars (because my secretary uses them to set up new apppointments), but syncing all the rest on my home computer. Is it possible without losing apps or mu

    I sync my iphone with my office computer, but what I really would like to do is syncing only the calendars (because my secretary uses them to set up new apppointments), but syncing all the rest on my home computer. Is it possible without losing apps or music?

    Although not recommended, yes.
    Disable automatic syncing when the iPhone is connected with iTunes on each computer.
    The only item you will have selected for syncing with iTunes on your computer at work will be Calendars, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Nothing else will be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer at work. You will get a warning message that your iPhone is associated with another iTunes library on a different computer which you can ignore when syncing calendars/calendar events only with iTunes on your computer at work.

  • I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

    weird.
    It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
    Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
    It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
    Good night captfred!

  • Macbook pro, magic mouse, bluetooth grayed out

    Hi all,
    My macbook pro is about 4 years old now.  Works great except I just developed an issue with the bluetooth that is affecting the usage of my magic moust. 
    Some info about the macbook:
    17inch
    Macbook pro 5.2
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.8GHz
    8GB ram
    Running OSX 10.6.8
    The issue with the bluetooth is: when the macbook pro goes to sleep and then wakes back up, the magic mouse does not work.  If I go into the bluetooth settings from the top dropdown menu, it says it is connected.  I have tried turning off the mouse before/after closing the computer, but it does not help.  I also tried pushing down on the mouse and it still won't reconnect.
    I attempted to turn the bluetooth off and back on, but I can't.  The "Bluetooth:on" is grayed out.  I went into the bluetooth settings in the control panel and it won't allow me to turn the bluetooth off there either.
    The only way I can get the computer to work with the mouse is to turn it off an turn it on again, but if it goes to sleep, they stop working together.  I have fresh batteries in the mouse
    Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do to fix this issue? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, unfortunately I do, and it seems (in my case to have to do with the laptop, not the mouse). My mouse is about two feet away from the laptop and it stutters often. Then, when I move closer it appears to work smoother. I tried another magic mouse (that I know to work well, when paired to an iMac) with the same result. Unfortunately, my desk is setup in such a way that I have to change hands in order to move the mouse closer, so this is not an option. I think it must be a bluetooth issue with my Macbook Pro (2007 with a recent motherboard because of the nvidia bug issue), but it only started after using the magic mouse.
    Is this a known issue, or does anyone know an easy fix?

  • Macbook pro 2011 mouse / keyboard not response in heavy load

    When I am playing games in the 2011 Macbook pro. Mouse clicks / keyboard sometimes not response or delay, this occur when the machine under heavy load.
    This won't happened in my old BLACK core duo Macbook.
    Does everyone notice this?

    If your machine is less than a month old, you should use your warranty and call AppleCare (you have 90 days of phone support) or take your machine back to the Apple Store (make an appointment with the Genius Bar first) and let them deal with the issue.
    If yours is the 13" model, there is a thread on here (somewhere) about trackpad and keyboard failures when also using Bluetooth, I think (don't quote me on that - I don't have the affected machines so I don't follow the thread too closely).
    But I do believe that Apple is aware of the issue and had 'fixed' it in either a patch preceding 10.9.4 or in 10.9.4 itself.
    Give them a call...

  • Macbook Pro screen showing green line and blacks out all the time

    My macbook pro have been recently showing green horixontal line all over the screen at times , and it goes away  after restarting couple of times, after i log in the screen black outs after couple of minutes and sometimes the screen act weird 

    I would suspect that there is a hardware component failing. I would take it in for diagnosis.

  • I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

    I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.  
    I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
    Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
    Thank you!

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.
