"Repair Disk" is greyed out because you cannot repair the startup disk. You should be able to verify it, but to repair it, you must start up from some other disk, like your iMac's system DVD.

I have a mac mini and just purchased a moshi hdmi connector for my LED TV. The problem is, I wanted to be able to take my mouse from one screen to another, not just as a mirror image! Is it possible to do this some how?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you have two displays attached, then the function to change from mirrored to extended Desktop will appear in System Prefs/Displays.

I have updated to Firefox 7.0.1 and now none of the drop-down menus at the top of the screen work, not even the Apple menu. If I click on the heading (e.g. File) nothing happens.I have a Mac Intel running OSX 10.6.8. Is there an update to fix this bug?

Nothing to add.

I found a partial answer at [[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/716983|safe-mode]] , which is to close Firefox and restart in Safe-Mode. (Hold down the Option key while restarting Firefox.) After doing this I exported all my bookmarks and imported them to Safari, so at least I'll have a browser that works.

I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone I need to enable. Thanks.

Question
I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone and I think I need to enable. I can't log on to Citibank to pay my bills using Firefox or Safari for that matter. Citibank says cookies must be enabled to access their on-line bank. I wonder if this is the problem...cookies that is?

Yes, I found the cookies, and thanks for taking the time to help out. I called Citibank. They told me that they will not support Firefox or Safari for Mac because our user group is too small for them and the expense too high. The person that I spoke to said in the past, Firefox has worked with Citi, but that was just by accident. At the moment they have no plans to help Mac people using the latest OS log onto their website or enable programs like my Quicken or Mint.com to access. They don't work anymore either. I think all the problems happened after the last OS update.

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a Pro MacBook with Maverick. Since going to the cloud with my calendar I get "updating iCal" signal and can't use the calendar on my mac

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro with Maverick. Since I synced the calendar to icloud, I get a "upgrading iCal calendar" that won't go away. How do you fix this?

Try force quitting iCal by pressing Option-Command-Esc, selecting iCal and clicking Force Quit.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to upgrade Mac OS X. First, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what processor you have. If it's a Intel Core Solo, Duo or 2 Duo, you can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
First, buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup of your files, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8. Finally, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iTunes.
If you want to install iTunes 10.7, download it from this page > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

If i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?

if i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?
i havent used my computer in two years. in that time i recently got a iphone4s and started another apple id.
i just set up my computer and my itunes on my computer has a different id. is it possible to merge these as one? the itunes on my computer has a no longer working email as well.
so if i go to change the info on that to my current email it obviously wont let me because it is registered to "someone" else... ME..
so is there any way to make the one on my computer the current one i have on my phone so i dont loose ALL my music from my computer??

Sorry, but Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can, however, use more than one Apple ID/iTunes Store account on your computer and hence on your iPhone. If you've forgetten the password to your older ID, see:
http://iforgot.apple.com
once you get in, you can change the email address associated with that ID so that receipts and such are emailed to a current address.
Regards.

Then there should be no issue for you.

Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.

it still does not work

Have you tried doing what it says?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I need to re-download Lion and install it. Holding the Option key while clicking on "purchases" does not work.

I need to re-download Lion and install it, after re-formatting my hard-drive to "journaled" as requested. Holding the Option key while clicking on "purchases" does not work.

Thanks Smokemonster. I found that the Lion install app was in in my applications folder already. Worked fine.

I have 2 macs and 2 PC laptops in my home wireless network. Can I use the Airport/Time Capsule hard drive to back up all 4 machines? I know that I will have to use different back up software on the PCs, but is it possible over the wireless network?

I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport). I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers. Is this possible? Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it? I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops? Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image? Thanks in advance for the help

It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me.

How can I correct the category assigned to my book? I do not have a Mac, submitting through Smashwords, and Smashwords says they can't get Apple to change the category.

My book is assigned to Romance/Gay&Lesbian, but that's wrong, it sould be with Literature&Fiction/Gay. How can I get that corrected? Apple says get my submitter to request a change, or else use a Mac and make the request myself. I don't have a Mac. Smashwords is my submitter and they claim they have no power or influence over what category Apple chooses.
My book could be found by browsing if it was in Literature&Fiction/Gay, but no one can find it by browsing when it is in Romance/Gay&Lesbian. Apple offers no way to browse Gay&Lesbian books in the Romance section.
Browsing is a powerful way for a writer's first novel to be found. I want my book to be listed with all the other gay books.

This was certainly worth a try, but Apple responded that they can only make changes in response to a request by the content provider, in this case (at this time, but probably not for long) Smashwords. So, one last try at Smashwords, who (as it turns out) knows less about providing content to Apple than you or I. If I can't convince Smashwords to educate themselves on how to deal with Apple, then I will withdraw my book from Smashwords completely and go buy a used Mac somewhere and become my own content provider to Apple. (Too bad Apple won't allow direct submissions without requiring that it be done with a Mac.)
