I cannot get the battery compartment to open

On my trackpad...suggestions?

If the batteries inside have corroded, you will have problems opening the battery cover. Then, you will most likely find you won't be able to remove the batteries anyway since they will be jammed inside.
Application of quick freeze helps with such things. If the MTP is at room temperature, spray quick freeze on the cover then immediately try to unscrew it. If you don't have quick freeze use an ice cube.
Get an appropriately sized screwdriver and don't mess it up worse than it is.

  • I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.

    I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.

    Do you have MacKeeper installed? If so, you need to uninstall it. There is a known issue where MacKeeper disables all the sharing functions from the new iMovie.
    Uninstall MacKeeper, then re-install iMovie.
    Keep MacKeeper uninstalled.

  • I cannot get the desktop version to open.

    I am on a Mac running OS 10.10 (Yosemite). I was able to access Story in Chrome and sign in successfully. I downloaded the desktop version which required updating Air (which I did) and now when I launch Story on my Mac I get message saying that the application needs to update. So I try to update it but I get a message that says:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem.  The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid.  Please contact the application author."
    Then I click Close and it relaunches the Story launch screen and again the update pop-up pops up and if I click later the pop-up goes away. If I then try to sign in (I am a CC subscriber) I get an error that reads:
    "Error
    Failed to connect to services. Do you want to login in offline mode?" No or Yes
    I click Yes and nothing happens.
    The online version seems to work in Chrome but I am really more interested in the desktop version. I realize this software is classified as beta but I'd still expect it to function at least a little bit. Right now I can't use the desktop version at all. I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
    You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
    So the steps would be:
    - Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
    - Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
    - Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )

  • I cannot get the App, "Dialogue" to open.

    This may not even be allowed as an Apple Discussion and I understand. I downloaded the Ap, "Dialogue" and I cannot get it to open. I tried to redownload it but it will not let me. I have not been able to get a contact email with iTunes to try and work this out. I know it's not the best app, I just want it to tell me that I am getting or have received a call from my iPhone. I am constantly in one room with my MacBook Air and my iPhone in another. Very frustrating.  Thanks!

    Hi Tom,
    Welcome to the Support Communities! 
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the "Dialogue" app that you purchased.  If these steps do not resolve your issue, then the iTunes Store team can review your account with you and may be able to offer a re-downoad or a refund.

  • I reinstalled a new Hard Drive but cannot get the DVD tray to open to install the Mac OS?  How do I open the Tray?

    I reinstall a new Hard drive.  But I cannot open the DVD tray to install the OS?  All I get the the ? in the folder when the computer turns on?

    Hi copa1226:
    Sometimes the best solutions are the manual ones.  There is a mechanical fail safe built in to these devices,  I have had to use this method several times myself, so ....
    .....   Try this:
    1) Power off your mac pro.
    2) With your finger, pull down the metal bezel on the affected drive.
    3) You should now see the front plastic bezel on the affected drive, it is usually black or grey.
    4) Look for a small pinhole somewhere on the front. It will have a very small diameter, about 0.5mm.
    5) Yes it's there, all cd/dvd drives have one!   Note: a small flashlight comes in handy here.
    6) Straighten out a standard paperclip for about 2 -3 inches.
    7) Insert the paperclip in the small hole and push, you will have some resistance, and then the drive tray will slowly push out about 0.5 inches or more.
    8) Grab the tray and pull it out !!
    9) You are done!
    10) If you do this gently you won't hurt the drive. Boot up and the tray should automatically slide back in. You are good to go.

  • Does the iPHONE 4s have a changeable SIM?  I cannot get the SIM door to open to check.

    Does the 4s have a removable SIM card?  I have not been able to open what is shown as the SIM compartment to make this determination.

    You need to push quite hard.
    But regardless, if you have a GSM iPhone with the SIM card tray, then you can change the SIM card. Whether a different SIM works on your phone depends on whether the phone is unlocked.

  • I have set up photoshop elements as external editor in iPhoto but I cannot get the edited photo to open in iPhoto. When I save the photo Elements asks where do I want to save it and iPhoto is not an option.

    I have set up Photoshop Elements11 as the External Editor in iPhoto just as Terence Devlin said. However when I save the edited photo it does not appear in iPhoto. A drop down menu asks where I want to save the photo and I do not know what to choose. Also should I choose, "save" or "save as"? I should be really grateful for your help.

    I suggest opening iPhoto and reverting back to iPhoto in the Preferences for photo editing. Quit iPhoto. Restart your Mac for good measure. Open iPhoto and again choose Photoshop Elements in Preferences as the editing app.
    As far as editing, I don't have PE, but I have another editing app form the Mac App Store, ColorStrokes. I have been experimenting with using it for editing iPhoto photos and it works flawlessly. After setting ColorStroke as the editing app, I open a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button in the menu bar below the photo. Color Stoke immediately opens with the photo and I complete my editing. When I have finished editing I choose to Save the photo, leave the name the same and agree to replace the iPhoto photo of the same name. I quit ColorStroke and the photo in iPhoto now has all of my edits from ColorStroke.
    Should I decide that I prefer the original photo, I open the photo in iPhoto and choose Revert to Original in the Photos pulldown menu.

  • I cannot get the tutorial picture to open to learn this program. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to understand how to use this cloud program, but cannot even open the picture to begin the tutorial.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi FlyGirl,
    To avoid confusion some of the programs open with a tutorial: Illustrator / Photoshop / Dreamweaver.
    You can also find the tutorials at: Creative Cloud tutorials | How to get started with Creative Cloud Apps
    Or at the learning section: Learn & Support
    So can you share what program you open and what version? Good luck!

    Hi WG!
    Thanks for posting.
    There is a sliding lock switch on the battery door that needs to be slid to one side as you also push the battery door out.  Please ensure you are doing both at the same time, otherwise the battery door remains locked.

  • How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    Thank you!  I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it.  After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up.  I think Apple delights in making people look stupid.  Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself.  Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved.  The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then.  I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
    I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.
