I have a MacBook My pinch-open-close won't work. I've done everything suggested on the website.

Your home button must be damages somehow. i know that you can use your phone without it using an accessibility feature called assisstive touch. It is a little icon that will always be on your device's display and can function as a home button. This is only a temporary solution. Eventually you should see if you qualify for some kind of replacement.

My pinch open & close is not working on my macbook pro......any particular reason?

I have a Macbook Pro and I recently updated to Firefox 4. Once I updated, I noticed that my pinch open & close doesn't work anymore. If I open Safari browser, pinch open & close works fine.

Hi JACOBfromINSIDEaLION,
If you are unable to get your iPhone to restore, you will want to perform a restore from recovery mode, as explained in the following article:

I have 2 macbooks, and my thunderbolt display won't work on one. HELP!

I have to Macbook Pros. The one for my work is connected to my Thunderbolt. When I tried to connect my personal one to watch a movie, it won't connect. I tried "detect displays" and "gather displays" - nothing.
HELP!!
Dana

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Note that the Thunderbolt Display can only work with Macs with Thunderbolt ports (Early 2011 and newer MacBook Pro). If your Mac is older, it won't connect to this display.
To check what MacBook Pro you have, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4132 If you have a Mid 2010 or older MacBook Pro, you can't use it with your Thunderbolt Display

Can't use "pinch open & close" in iPhoto

Hi!
My problem is not serious, but it's really annoying. I'm used to using "pinch open & close" in iPhoto but now I can't do it. When I try to zoom my picture with it, the whole window of the application disappeared. I can zoom my picture only using a scroll bar, but it inconvenient. However, "pinch open & close" works properly in all other applications.
I've checked all the preferences but still can't fined the solution.
I'll be very thankful if someone helps me! =)

Do you have set the iPhoto "Preferences > General" to "Email Photos using iPhoto"? With this setting I am seeing the same, the name of the Group vanishes, as soon as I press "Enter". It looks like iPhoto were not possible to retrieve the group from Contacs. It looks like a bug to me. The handling of groups changed in Yosemite and perhaps iPhoto's update for Yosemite does not include this new method.
With the setting "Preferences > General > Email Photos using Mail" however, iPhoto will open "Mail" app instead and in that case the group will be expanded and works. Mail.app also has stationary for mailing photos. You can show it from the toolbar with the "Show stationary" button.
So, as a work around,
Either use Mail.app as mail client from iPhoto with the setting "Preferences > General > Email Photos using Mail",
Or make a detour. First Share the photos from iPhoto to yourself using your own email address and iPhoto's stationary, and then use the command "Message > Redirect ⇧⌘E" in Mail to forward the iPhoto mail to the group.

Trackpad Zoom Controls - pinch open & close application specific disable

Does anyone know if there is a way of controlling trackpad zoom controls so that "pinch open & close" can be disabled for specific applications (including the finder)?
I have solved the majority of my concerns with Browsing and Office by using Firefox and NeoOffice - both of which have a fix included.
It would be nice to have the same control over the finder so that the icons are not being re-sized inadvertently.

Well - I'm betting this is a software problem ... but it is certainly the case that only those armed with MBP's having the new multi-touch trackpad would see it and be able to check it out on their own computers.
The fact that the pinching mechanism works (as do all of the other multi-finger features) attests to the fact that the improved track pad is in fact discriminating the different kinds of actions correctly.
The catch is that I can disable the other multi-finger features .... but unchecking the pinch feature does not disable it .... in my experience, this would make the operating system a more likely culprit for the problem ... my assumption here is that it is the OS that is making the decision whether or not to ignore certain kinds of input from the trackpad when certain features are disabled.
Thanks for moving the post ... hopefully it'll get answered in this new forum.

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

I have a macbook white (Snow leopard), just started using mac, Is there anyway we can use the Iphone Apps( downloaded from ITune) on Mac, they are getting saved in Mobile applications and have ipa extension

The operating systems for iOS devices and for Macs are completely different. Applications written for iOS won't run on a Mac no matter what fiddles you try with it. You can sometime extract data by opening the package, but it still won't do you any good. Look in the Mac App Store in your Applications folder to see if there are Mac versions or similar programs (iTunes login required).

I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2,3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB). I use KompoZer for my website, but after installing OS X Yosemite it doesn't work right (I cannot see images in the website).

It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps a the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,
Clinton
