I am stuck...would someone please help?

i recently took home a quicksilver g4 from the office, did a complete erase and restore with the startup discs so i could erase some patients files permanently, and now the keyboard does not work. well..actually the mouse will move but will not activate anything..
ive tried restarting..even putting the software restore cd in the tray...when the computer starts again that file is open but again, the mouse wont do anything but move.
i also switched the usb port...no avail...
any ideas, please?

First, the drive problem. Check to make sure you re-connected all the cables properly after following Bryant's advice.
I've had times when a PMU reset has not taken. I woud unplug the computer and remove the PRAM battery and let it sit for a long while. Put the battery back in and plug it in and try a reset again. Make sure you hold the button long enough (15 seconds).
Here is a good link.

Like the others I think a reset is your best bet.

The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar.

Perhaps we can car pool to Cali and find someone that works there that actually knows how to install their program since they clearly have no interest in making it easily accessible to a majority of users. (I too have not been able to install itunes 10.5)

Would someone please help me with Right Click or left click on my mouse

Hi I am trying to use one of the side mouse keys to bring up the menu as if I am hitting the control key. I have changed them to secondary with no luck. I have read several post and still I cant find it. Looking at the apple site it says to change it to secondary and it will function like a PC but no luck. Please help;)

Looking at your info, it looks like you have a Mighty Mouse by Apple, and are new to the OS… in which case follow these instructions.
1) Click on the Apple Menu in the top-left hand corner.
2) Select "System Preferences".
3) Select "Keyboard and Mouse" from the Hardware category.
4) Click on "Mouse" in the window's toolbar.
5) Find the Button you wish to change.
6) Follow the line from that button to the selection box.
7) Click on the selection box and select "Secondary Button".
That button is now set to your Secondary Button! If you have any trouble using this function, reply to me!
NOTE: If you have a 3rd Party Mouse, you may want to check their support site or driver software.

Would someone PLEASE help me?!?

I was working on what amounted to a 4 hour slideshow. Months of work. I saved the project, but first emptied the trash as I've always done. This time it froze in mid save for a solid 12 minutes. Assuming that at the very least it would've saved my most recent version (I only changed 2 pictures!) I had no recourse but to "force quit." When I attempted to open the file again & redo the changes I'd just done, the machine said that there were some "missing files that would be skipped. click OK or 'skip all' to continue." Whenever I did that, an error message would pop up saying that "iMovie quit unexpectedly. Report error to Apple..." iMovie won't open the project, or stay on. It'll open other projects, but not this one! Is there any way of retrieving the saved version prior to the changes I made today? I don't know where to look and the prospect of starting months and months of work from scratch has me sick to my stomach. So many fade ins/outs, cross dissolves, wash ins/outs... The truly sickening thing is that the 2 pictures I changed were the final changes. If it'd saved properly there would've been nothing more to do! I do hope that someone will get back to me with some encouraging news.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex
I whished I could be encouraging. But my main message is:
DO NEVER TUCH - Trash basket in iMovie in any version.
a. In many versions it is destruktive
b. It nevers saves up anything alike the figure written at it.
c. I've sent several feed-backs to Apple to just delete it.
• No use-full information
• No save use at all
Hopefully someone with mor knowledge can help You to restore Your project.
I can't and are doubtful.
I would start a new project from scratch not tuching the old one before somone
comes by and have "Super knowledge"
*Next stone that You might stumble over is:* Send/Share/Export to iDVD
• This function is also lethal:
• The DVD will be severely pixelated
• The Original iMovie project will also be HARMED and in need of beeing re-done.
I do: When done in iMovie I close it.
Open iDVD
In iDVD import the iMovie movie project (icon with a Star on it)
Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better and without harming Your original.
Yours Bengt W

Would someone please help me figure out why Time Machine has stopped backing up?

Hi, I am a Macbook Pro User running 10.6.8. I recently moved all of my photos, music and videos over to a 1TB Western Digital HD that I attach via usb. I believe that this is when the problem started. When I enter Time Machine, the last backup was on Feb. 17th, which I believe might have been the date that I moved everything.. Thankfully, I just happened to catch that my 2TB iomega HD that I had been using with Time Machine was no longer working, even though I have received no indication otherwise. I've poured over many queries on this site, as well as many others. I've tried deleting the TM plist file in my main file folder to no avail, reset TM and reselected the backup disc as well, but nothing seems to correct the problem. I have noticed, incidentally (or not), that my first backup date was one day short of a year before the last one. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe not, but worth noting, I thought.
I just tried a backup, and got this from Console:
Apr 18 14:50:07 Doyle-Hinsons-MacBook-Pro com.apple.backupd[1399]: Starting standard backup

I'm a bit of a novice at this, so explanations in laymen's terms would be greatly appreciated, and I express my deepest appreciation in advance to anyone willing to try and help.
Many thanks!

Thanks for your response, Linc. I have everything important to me i.e. pics, music, files, etc backed up elsewhere. Being that this is the backup drive I've used since the beginning, do I need to worry about losing other data that is on the drive, if I plan on backing up with a different one? In other words, is there irreplaceable data on the drive that a new backup won't be able to replace (data that's imperative to my computer's functions)? Thanks again!

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Would someone please help me find my misplace iCloud Icons?

I seem to have lost the ones for my mac and my iPhone. I did not set up iCloud as soon as was offered and so probably took them off to avoid confusion. Now I'm confused. Thanks in advance.

iCloud icons? Do you mean app icons for iCloud? If so then I don't believe there are any. You configure iCloud in System Preferences on the Mac and in Settings on your iOS devices. You can also go to www.icloud.com to access mail, calendar, etc.

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Nathan.

Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

All of my Iphone stopped working on the left side so i thought i would restore it but when i did it wont connect back up to itunes so i can get everything baack, it wont even turn back on:( - someone please help!

someone please help me out, i really need my phone:(!

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

I am stuck...would someone please help?
