    If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, then from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
    If the checkbox at the bottom marked
    Enable access for assistive devices
    is checked, uncheck it and test.
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
    If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.

  • Before Mac OS X lion install I had over 50% free hard drive space on new MBP, but now my hard drive is full without me doing anything! How do I fix this??? Or should I just revert to Snow Leopard???

    Sounds like the Time Machine Local Backup.  Try turning Time Machine Off in System Preferences to verify.
    See: OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
    But, your real problem is
    I forgot to mention that I tried to use Disk Utility to Verify Disk, but it cannot. I get red errors that say the MacHD is corrupt and needs to be repaired. It says that in order to do this I need to use the Disk Utility on the install disk, but Lion doesn't have one!
    Boot into Lion's Recovery (Hold ⌘R on Boot), select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click [Repair Disk]

  • How do I fix a permissions problem that's emerged since I created a Snow Leopard partition on my Lion iMac?

    I recently partitioned my iMac, which was running Lion, so I could open old files created by apps like AppleWorks. I installed Snow Leopard in the new partition and the apps I moved there are running fine. But now when I'm using Lion and want to save or open a file, I'm frequently told I don't have permission to access or change the enclosing folder. I've tried using Disk Utilty and also manually resetting permissions on my Lion Home folder. All fixes seem temporary at best. I don't know why I'm having this problem or how to fix it.  I also don't know why there's a third (Recovery) partition I didn't create. Can I get rid of it?

    Changed the SL username/password combo to match the Lion one. Some problems were resolved but not others. Had to manually give myself Read/Write permission on the Lion partition's Home folder and its enclosures. This further restored functionality--e.g., allowing me to use Dropbox again--, but still left several "bugs." The most annoying have to do with Safari 5.1.1.  Whenever I open it now I get Apple's Support Downloads page, although my Safari Preferences are set for new pages to open with Homepage and Google as my homepage. Also, each time I open Safari, the toolbar initially loads icons for Readability (to which I'm a paid subscriber), but then I get a message saying Safari can't install the Readability extension. At this point, Readability's icons disappear and when I go to Safari's Preferences it no longer appears in my installed extensions list.  But if I close Safari and reopen, the whole routine is repeated.

  • I have an iMac 2011 model. Keep it up to date. When I try to turn it on, I have a blank screen and a series of beeps. Tried pressing the command and R keys. But it keeps beeping. Anyone experience this before?

    Can't turn on my iMac. Keeps beeping.

    Is it 3 beeps then stops then 3 beeps again? If it is that is a RAM error.
    Look here for details on the beep codes.

  • My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help.  If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
    The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod.  If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    If you need help with any of these suggestions, detailed help on each topic is available via Apple's Support pages:

  • How do i fix a white screen on a 4th generation ipod touch? it will not let you press the home button and off button to reset it. it also does nothing when you plug it into the computer

    how do you fix a white screen on an ipod touch

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

    My friends MBP died the other night.  He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't.  Only a black blank screen and blinking lights.  There is no sound or anything.  BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year.  I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem.  Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

    Looks like hardware problem.
    Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

  • My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign in.  It will not let me sign in, nor can I power it off.  Help!

    My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen.  It will not let me sign on or power off.  It started about 20 mins ago.  One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time.  How can I fix this?

    Hi Bucky16,
    If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
