How to fix a cursor that moves but its "aspect" is locked?

Have a brand new MacBook Pro. The cursor's "aspect" or "image" is locked up in the symbol that looks like two crossed arrows, used for changing dividers. The cursor moves freely but it does nothing and I can't do anything with the machine. HELP, please

Try booting into Safe Mode and seeing what the cursor is like there. If it's fine then reboot normally and test in your user. If it's still a problem in Safe Mode then you could look to reinstall the OS...although I'm not sure how much availability you'll have to do that if the mouse is not clicking correctly. You may have to start learning all the KB shortcuts.

How to fix iframe issue that displays XML values instead of formatted XML in IE11

The following sub.jsp file shows the formatted XML properly as expected when is opened directly:
<% response.setContentType("text/xml"); %>
<book>
<chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1>
<chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2>
</book>
IE11 shows the result as below which are colored and can be collapsed or un-collapsed:
<book><chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1><chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2></book>
But if the sub.jsp is opened in an iframe from the below main.html, it only shows the values of the XML in the iframe:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="sub.jsp"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
The iframe shows only the XML values, i.e., chapter 1 chapter 2 in IE11. This issue does not happen in IE8.
I appreciate to your if you know how to address this issue.

How to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

how to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

Are you sure you have a shuffle? There is no "repeat" setting on a shuffle, unlike other iPods, such as the nano.
The only reason a single song would repeat on a shuffle, is if you have a playlist with only one song, and you have selected that playlist using VoiceOver (or there is only one song on the shuffle).

How do you get cursor to move in Dreamweaver CS5?

Im trying to get the cursor to move to the right or go up and down but it stays to the left. Im new to dreamweaver so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You mean the flashing caret (cursor) that sits in the top left hand corner when you're faced with a new, blank page?
If tthat's what you mean, then you don't.
At first Dreamweaver acts more like a wordprrocessor (it is NOT a word processor) than a desktop publishing application in that you cannot just click anywhere and insert content.
You need to learn something about HTML and CSS to understand how to use DW.
Good starting point: http://www.w3schools.com/

How I fixed my M4 that wouldn't detect in the BIOS

Yeah the power cycling procedure that Crucial posted is **bleep**.
What's happening is that when your SSD thinks the power supply is suspect (which with the current firmware means every time your computer turns off without shutting down) it locks itself to prevent further damage
The procedure that Crucial posted basically has you sit in idle to "convince" your SSD that your power supply is in fact stable by monitoring a period (like 15-20 min) of stable power.
Hard cycling is a common solution but the procedure that Crucial ennumerated only sporatically works.
One thing you guys could so is take a disk tool that can "wake" locked hard drives. I use Parted Magic. Boot into your repair USB or CD with Parted Magic (or whatever utility). As it loads itself it will wake your drive. When you get into the program, simply reboot and your SSD will be good to go.
It's worked every time for me. Alternatively you can struggle with the Crucial procedure, but any means of power cycling will work ie: removing the sata data cable and leaving the SSD plugged into the power for 5-??? minutes. **bleep** even constantly rebooting will eventually get you back in... the point being the Crucial procedure isn't a validated means of doing it more effectively. It's just a bunch of **bleep** that they posted which CAN fix your problem. It's one way. Is it the best way or even a efficacious way? Naw.
For me I wish there was a way to just get my SSD to stop doing this. I initially got a "unstable power supply detected" message a couple weeks ago and now any time I lose power for any reason it locks. IF ANYONE HAS A WAY TO TURN THIS OFF PLEASE POST IT.
Because my computer is a new system that's being fiddled with for overclocking, obviously there are a few system hangs, random boots etc. *keep it courteous* Again if anyone knows how to "untoggle" or reset the protection feature of locking itself, let's hear it

I have an M4 512Gb and I posted here how I fixed it not being recognised 3 times, I think. I did this in a laptop without removing the SSD. I installed it on 7 November and it has been fine for over 2 weeks now. If there are any problems I will report them here. I have 8 partitions on it with about 50% full. The partitions are Linux Ext4. I have lost no data and the system works perfectly now. Disk checks are carried out every 20 boots and they have been fine. I also have a Linux swap partition of about 8Gb which hibernates the computer perfectly. I am wondering if something in the SSD has settled down because I have had no problems since the first day or two. I have been purposely rebooting as often as I can with and without the battery to see if I can make the not being recognised problem reappear. So far it has worked fine. I feel pretty confident at the moment. I do back up my data partition very frequently just to be on the safe side. But I am really pleased with the speed of everything, the fact that I don't worry about bumping the laptop while using it travelling and the nearly doubled battery life. I hope this reassures you.

I downloaded a movie but its not in my itunes but it said that i already bought it. what should i do?

I downloaded the movie, but it just didn't show up in my itunes. I went back to see if i bought it and it said that I did. So how can I redownload it again without repurchasing it again?

Make sure it didn't go into the wrong categories in movies click on the movies, genres, unwatched tab up top in the movies section.

HT201317 Some photos go to Photo Stream and some go to Camera Roll. How to fix this so that all go to Photo Stream when I take pics?

Sometimes when I take pics on my iPhone 4s the some of the pics go to the Photo Stream while others go to the Camera Roll. Why do they not all go to the camera roll? How to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
If the problem persists:
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
