My mouse is supposedly connected, but the cursor won't move. I changed the batteries. What should I do?

Anyone that is trying to help you right now is guessing, you haven't provided any clues such as which mouse you use and which version of OS X you have installed. Without those barest of facts we're giving your WAGs.

Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone

Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone, I love the otterbox and want to keep it on all the time. not only does it protect my iphone it, it makes it easy for me to hold because I have trouble with my hands. please help

That's a good question. The main problem with the Square readers is that the plug is designed to send data to devices, rendering most headphone extension cables useless.
Reading another forum I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BN7XSM
Give that a try. Claims to work perfectly for Square. NOT headphones.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

I can not get my mouse to work after changing the batteries

I can not get my wireless mouse to work after changing the batteries

Some ‘dumb’ questions just so we don’t assume what you have done:
Batteries installed with both + poles pointing to the top as you hold the mouse?
Mouse switch has been returned to the ‘on’ position - do you see a green light? First it will be solid green and then flashing green as the mouse tries to pair with the computer.
Try clicking the mouse a few times as it’s trying to pair.
If you don’t see a green light, try wiping off all battery contacts and reinserting the batteries. If still no green light and the mouse switch is ‘on’, are these old rechargeable batteries that been recharged many times or are they fresh normal batteries (not rechargeable batteries)?

I can not get my mouse to work correctly when using firefox. Works fine on IE

When I try to use the search bar on home page, my mouse will not click on it. Have same problem with facebook when I try to go back to homepage-it will not click. I do not have this problem when using IE so I know my mouse is working correctly.

Quit the Mail app.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

HT204053 I can not get my Icloud to work on my iphone and ipad since i set up my new email addy on Apple Icloud won't let me change it on those devices ...Plz Help Shey

I can not get my Iphone or ipad to except the new email address that is now on Apple so nothing will back up or work on Icloud on those devices Thx plz help Sheyw

With iCloud on the phone, you will need to remove the account, then add it back in with the new address. It is a bit awkward, but the only way to change the AppleID for the iCloud account login is to delete the account then add it back with the new credentials. You won't loose anything as the iCloud account is still the same one, you just need to re-associate the AppleID credentials for it on the iPhone.

Can't get login script to work - tried both prefs and tty methods ...

Calling all you script gurus ...
I'm trying to auto-mount a sparse image on login (why? I got my 17" stolen along with the data - i'm using an encrypted image as my document repository now).
I can't get this simple script to run using either method (modifying the LoginWindow plist OR the apple suggested method of adding the section into the /etc/ttys file.
I've tested the script file from the terminal and all works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I personally haven't had much success with the '/etc/ttys' method for specifying login hooks either...
On the other hand, the ".plist" method has worked well for me in the past. Just in case you weren't aware, note that the the file for specifying a "login hook" via ".plist" file has changed in "Tiger" compared to "Panther". It was never the "loginwindow.plist", which is used for specifying "Login Items", but rather the "com.apple.loginwindow.plist" file, but unlike "Panther" which used "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist" (a security issue for which Apple was rightly criticized), in "Tiger" Apple wisely changed the location to a more secure directory, ie. "/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist". The current procedures for specifying "login hooks" via ".plist" file can be found in this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301446
But as far as mounting a disk image is concerned, adding the mounted volume (rather than a script to mount the disk image) to "Login Items" should be sufficient to initiate the mounting process...

Yes. This is all verizon information.

Correct.
Incoming mail server is incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing server is outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. I changed the 110 port to 25, and turned off SSL.
Why did you change that port? Incoming is 110, outgoing is 25.
Every time I try to send or receive mail, I get a pop-up box asking for a password. I give it my Verizon password, then mail fails. If anyone has experience with Verizon email, please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to get the email to work for several hours now.
Check the Verizon site for examples. They will have more than webmail. You don't have to look for anything specific to Apple Mail. There will be settings for Outlook, just use those.

I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection-I-Pad Mini does not connect to the Wi-Fi while IPad and IPhone 5 works in the same location. Then when I go to another location the Ipad Mini works. How can I get Wi-Fi to work all the time like Ipad and Iphone 5?

I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection. At one location the I-Pad Mini will not connect to wi-fi, while I-Pad and I-Phone 5 works just fine.
Then at another location the I-Pad Mini works just fine. Are there any suggestions anyone can give me to get I-Pad Mini to work everywhere just like I-Pad and I-Phone 5?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How can I get my renders to work in the background?

Hi,
I installed After Effects pretty much without changing anything, so the settings are more or less default.
I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and After Effects CS6
I have enabled media and disk cache, max disc cache is at 100GB and I have an external drive (with 900GB spare) as the volume selected beneath that option. My internal SSD has not much spare on it. I previously had the internal SSD as the disc cache and still had this same problem.
My project is 1920 x 1080 25fps - And I'm trying to render to Quicktime. I've tried rendering to stills and then outputting to Quicktime (so as to have less computational effort), then running them through but the same problem persists.
If After Effects is the application in focus the project renders fine.
If After Effects is not the application in focus - ie. I work with it rendering in the background, the 'FINISHED' sound plays and the render is cut short a short while after I started working in another program.
The project render time is about an hour, so it's not really convenient.
I've googled extensively and posted this here before and no solution.
Please help.
Toby
ps. ADOBE: Don't mean to be rude, but is there some fix for this text entry box where the cursor randomly jumps to a previous line? - still broken guys!

Hi Todd,
Thanks, I've now installed the updates. Unfortunately the problem persists and furthermore, AME does not go the distance with rendering the full project, dropping the process after around the 5-8% mark (on first and second try).
I can render the project successfully if AE is left unattended in the 'foreground'
Please find attached screengrabs of my system profile and current AE settings (Disk and Cache settings were changed recently from having 100GB disk cache on external USB3 drive - still same behaviour).
I notice there is no error log produced from AE as it seems to think the render is successfully completed. Please advise if I can produce a log to help troubleshoot this problem, as it seems AME does not provide a workaround.
Thanks in advance.

How can you get frame by frame control of the image on a movie buttom?

Working on IDVD 7.0.4, I'm trying to position still frames for each of my movie buttons. I read the help pdf and the slider worked an several images, but would not let me move frame by frame to select. When I found the image I wanted and selected it, as soon as I clicked away it reverted to a spot several frames later in the movie. Is there a way to move frame by frame in the still mode?

How can I get a LOV to work in the advanced search area

I am using JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.
We are doing a LOV lookup on User-id. When the user selects a user-id or just starts keying in a user-id I have my Jheadstart code to pull in the full-name whenever the client selects a new user-id or starts keying a userid.
Under UserId we have the following definition
PersonIdentitiesLOV
UserId <= UserId
FullName <= CombinedName
We set up PersonIdentitiesLOV so that "Use LOV for validation" is set to true.
When I tested my code, in the advanced search this is what happened:
1) When the client selects a user-id the FullName field gets populated
2) When the client just keys in the user-id then the FullName DOES NOT get populated.
Someone told me that there is a bug in JHeadstart in 10.1.3.3 where if you turn on the "Use LOV for validation" then it does not get executed in the Advanced Search.
How do I get around this problem.
If this does not work then how would it be best to display the full name whenever someone keys in a user-id. We are using this full name display for auditing purposes at the cashiers wicket whenever someone keys in a userid and does not recognize the person. We want the full name displayed along with userid for verification purposes.
Any idea on how to get this working?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.
