I recently restored my 2009 macbook to factory settings and now its stuck on the welcome screen where u choose your country. My trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when I tap on it to select continue it does nothing at all. The only thing else it will allow me to do is go thru the voice over tutorial by pressing escape. Please help me fix this I need to use my computer.
Hi, teezbreezy64.
I found a couple of resources to help troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. The first is this article named Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248.
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend resetting the SMC on your computer. Here is an article on how to do that:

I have the 5S and there is a check mark next to no sound when phone is in lock mode that prevents me from getting my calls and messages. How can I turn that off? Clicking it does nothing. Please help! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to try to help me. . I checked and the Do not disturb is off. The check is still there stopping calls from coming in when phone is locked. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

When I want to use only my laptop without the apple magic mouse, how do I disable the mouse so that the trackpad works?
Hi, thanks for your answer,
No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol -
I just downloaded 30 free apps from Itunes but when I tap on them on my Ipad nothing happens.
I have tried reset but that didn't help either. I have plenty of room according to the Itunes connection to my Ipad so why won't the apps I just downloaded open. Most were free but I may have paid for 2. I also cannot download apps from my Ipad alone because it brings up an old email address not the new one I opened so I have to download them on my computer and then sync my Ipad to get them.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try deleting the 'broken' apps and re-downloading them.
There was a DRM (digital rights management) problem with some apps updated and downloaded from the App Store between July 3rd and July 5th. Apple fixed the problem, and re-released the apps:

My G3 has 10.1 but when I sign in it automatically goes to 9.2 please help
My G3 always ran 9.2, recently I had the apple store install 10.1, which was working fine. then my wife put a my son's computer disc game in and for some reason everytime I sign in it automatically goes to 9.2 and I can't figure out how to put back 10.1. thanks for help
Hi jaja, and welcome to the discussions.
Have you tried changing the startup disk?
Under the Apple menu, go to Control Panels, then select Startup Disk. The OS will take 30 seconds to a minute to find all the available startup disks, so be patient. Does it list OS X 10.1 as an option? If so, make sure it's selected, then hit the restart button.
Let me know how this goes.

Drums latency help
Sounds like the Graphics chip has a problem, which I think is a Mainboard replacement.
You can get a quote for the repair at an Authorized Service Provider. There is an ASP list on the Toshiba website. -

My purchased songs aren't lost the computer is not giving the option to put the newly purchased music into the ipod.
How do you do what? Plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on your computer, or disconnect other USB devices? To disconnect a USB device unplug it from the computer. If it is a disk drive eject it first using the Eject icon in the System Tray. To plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on the computer insert the USB end of the sync cable into a USB port on the computer.
If you are using all of the ports on your computer get a hub and plug low power devices into the hub (e.g., keyboard, mouse). Or get a hub with its own power supply and plug your high power devices (disk drives, DVD drive) into it. -

No one here can do anything about this.
Yesterday was Saturday - this is the weekend, so support staff is probably not at 100% over the weekend. You will probably be contacted tomorrow. -
I have an Iphone 4 using ios 4.2.6 and need to upgrade to at least ios 4.3 or better yet ios 5. I have never received any update notices. I understand upgrades are through Itunes but when I go to Itunes downloads there is nothing there. Help!
Thanks, I tried this and it didn't work. I have a windows xp computer and connected the iphone to it. When I click on the iphone link that comes up under my computer i only get my iphone photos. No other options come up.
