I can't get my trackpad on my MacBook to click. It was working fine last night.

I'm not sure if its the battery expanding (but since it was fine last night), it could be the battery expanding.
Apple representatives told me that the battery expands to let us know the battery needs to be replaced and when it expands the enlarged battery won't allow the trackpad to click, when your pressing it.
Clicks also won't happen when the area under the trackpad gets dirty.
Does anyone know if there is a way to check to see if the battery is good without taking the MacBook apart? Also, there is no error Exclamation Point, on the top right of the screen. That happened to my MacBook Pro, as well as an inability to click the trackpad.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, Sean

That's just not correct. Swelling in the battery is caused by overheating of one or more cells in the battery, followed an exothermic chemical reaction of the anode (usually lithium cobalt oxide). It can cause simple swelling or even complete failure in the battery (including fire). It is NOT something by design to tell us that the battery needs to be replaced. It is a runaway thermal process in the battery.
Minor swelling might be ignored with no further issue. When in doubt, have the battery checked by Apple or an authorised repair centre.

My ipad2 was working fine last night, but this morning is unable to connect to ANY wifi networks (though it can detect them). All typical solutions fail. What can i do?

My ipad2 was working fine last night, but this morning when I woke it up... it no longer was connected to my network. While it can detect networks, it cannot connect to any (have tried at home and at work). I have tried: resetting router, resetting ipad, forgetting network, renewing lease on network, ensuring airplane mode is off, resetting network settings, turning wifi on/off. None of the typical solutions I can find online seem to work. HELP!

You've gone through all of the basics. You might look at this document regarding potential issues with wi-fi environments.

If none of that works, and if a device restore doesn't work, it's time for a trip to the Genius Bar.

Wi fi not working, I'm getting a message "wi-fi: No hardware installed" it was working fine and just stopped

Hi, hope someone can help, I can't connect to the Internet, I'm getting the message "Wi-Fi: No hardware installed" it was working one minute and then just stopped, my by home hub is working fine as my iPhone is connected, is there anything I can do?

Before resetting try restarting. Or you can go to Settings from the home screen > Wi-Fi > your network and scroll down to 'Renew Lease' and press that. When you do you should see a button labeled 'Renew Lease?' and another labeled 'Cancel'. Select 'Renew Lease'.
You can either back out of that screen back to the home screen or just use the return button to go back to the home screen. Then select Safari and see if you can hook in.
I have to go through that process every five or ten minutes or so when in the second story of our house - weak router signal up there.

I have a LaserJet 5L printer and I can't get it running properly under 10.5.8 while it works fine under 10.4.11. It only prints the first document and then shows the queue and prints slow like ****, it says so, but nothing printed after30 minuts.

Hi.
I have problems to get my Laser Jet 5L running properly under 10.5.8. I prints the first page/document and then it says1,36 % printed than printing but nothing happens. Under 10.4.11 everything works fine, sometimes I have to get the print jobs running again,but then it works.
I have the Laser Jet 5L connected via USB to parallel.
I am running a PowerBook G4 1,67 GHz and 2 GByte RAM.

Can not get MS Outlook to sync with Cal or iTunes. Worked fine prior to the upgrade to 10.9.3

I want Outlook to be the primary calendar that I use to scheduling. Prior to upgrading to 10.9.3 this worked fine. I have tried every thing I know to get it work, Cold boots each app., turning off sync services on Outlook and restarting. Nothing I know works

What version of OS X were you running before upgrading to Mavericks?
Sync Basics
CalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 support CalDAV or CardDAV.
You can no longer sync Outlook with an iPhone or iPad via iTunes. You can only sync with an iPhone or iPad via a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google.
You can no longer sync Outlook local calendars with OS X Calendar (formerly iCal). You can, however, continue to sync calendars hosted on a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google with Apple's Calendar.
You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.
If you want to stick with Outlook, I suggest you look at Office 365. Otherwise, moving to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar with iCloud might be a better option for you.
Until Microsoft adds CalDAV and CardDAV support to Outlook, there is no way to sync other than get an Exchange account. It's $4/month Exchange Online.

UPDATE OS X
You mentioned you were running 10.9.3, you need to upgrade to the latest version of Mavericks.

My MacBook trackpad stopped working randomly today but I didn't do anything to damage it. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 last night, but it worked fine last night. What is happening?

Hi,
So I have a late 2006 1.83 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook A1185. And last night I upgraded my software to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. And then this morning when I went to start doing work on it, my trackpad wouldn't allow me to click on anything. It would only scroll my little mouse icon around, so pretty much making my trackpad useless:/ So then I kind of had a panic attack and rebooted at least 10 times (no joke), and then remembered I had a external mouse I could use to plug in. So I plugged that in, and it worked fine as long as I didn't touch the trackpad at all. And then I got annoyed of that because it started to hurt my wrist, so I took out my battery(6 month old 3rd party battery), and then my trackpad started to work? I was slightly aggravated, and confused. So then I put the battery back in, and it stopped working again. So I am puzzled if it is just I need a better battery? Or to replace my trackpad and keyboard? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, so thank you in advance:)
Thanks

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.

I can't get to any websites using Firefox or IE but AOL works fine.

When I open Firefox or IE, the home pages are fine but then both just hang without loading any websites. Both just show the progress wheel circling. Sometimes clockwise green and sometimes counter clockwise gray. No issues with AOL. Problem started a couple of days ago after a scheduled computer update. Before that, I would get messages on Firefox that shockwave plugin and/or java plugins stopped working or crashed but would still be able to access sites like ebay. I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox which would work for briefly and then revert back to nothing happening. Repeatedly restarting the computer would allow both browsers to access a site or two and then they would freeze. Ran a full scan on Norton with no problems or malware discovered. Updated Java and I've also checked to see that there was no problem with the firewall and also reset the winsock. Help?

There are two things to check.
*1
Network Proxy
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Select '''Advanced > Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
*2
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

HT4623 Hi I have just updated ipad to latest software and since then I can't get any sound from speakers only ear socket or FaceTime works fine any ideas thanks Mark

NO sound from speakers after update only headphone jack works, speakers work on FaceTime

Reboot the iPad and see if that helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

App store working but can't find any apps I type in the search. Was working fine until yesterday

I have an Iphone 5 and NO problems until today. I was still able to go to the app store thru my phone and type in apps in the search field and was able to download apps... However I can still download apps right now but anything I type in the search field it can't be found.. Even if I type in apps names that I already downloaded. Or apps that I know the name of that exist... It seems it searches for a couple seconds, then stops and the screen just stays white... HELP!!!!

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.

Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.
