I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
Thank you!

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Since I downloaded the newest update, my phone only rings or makes text sounds about 10% of the time. It can be sitting in front of me and a call or text comes in. No sound, just a msg on the screen. Anyone out there having that problem?

Since I downloaded the newest update, my phone only rings or makes text sounds about 10% of the time. It can be sitting in front of me and a call or text comes in. No sound, just a msg on the screen. Anyone out there having that problem? It's not a problem in the settings as I set the rings and tones I want. The rare one comes thru with sound. I never had any problems before update.

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

My mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work

I am using a 24 inch imac and the problem is suddenly my mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work i can see cursor moving and i can use the features of the keyboard but my mouse dies. I tried to plug in another mouse magic trackpad and my tablet but each has the same problem. I can not click to anything but cursor is moving and computer is not frozen. I have to shut it off from the power button when this happens. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how can i fix this?

Reset the SMC 2-3 times. Click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for instructions.

How is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order!

how is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order! The front of the bottom is hot while the rest if mildly warm. I don't know if its going to have a problem in the future. I wiped off as much as I could with a cloth and left it open and upside down for 10-15 minutes. Any idea if I am in the clear?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do not wait.

When trying to restore or even contact Itunes store my computer states the the ipod software server could not to contacted but I have checked netting work setting and everthing looks correct any ideas I can try as I am not a whizz on the computer yet

When trying to restore or even contact itunes store my computer states the ipod softdate server could not be contacted. When I checked the setting everything look correct. I have just changed from using xp on my computer and now using windows 7 so I am a bit lost with the different layout

maybe:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

I send a text and it comes back saying invalid or person does not subscribe. But yet I can read the text te same person sends me? Is it a problem on my end or theirs?

I send a text to someone and it comes back almost instantly and says the message is invalid or the person does not subscribe. But yet they can send me a text and I can see it. Is the problem on my end or theirs?

No. It's not an iMessage. Just a regular text message. I can receive their texts and make a call to them. ??

The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
What else can I try?

I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
Isolate the issue:
1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
Blocked by software Firewall:
I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
It seems to be the case that:
"If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
Blocked By Configuration:
I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
I do not have any proxy settings
I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
Rebuild Network Information
I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
I then restarted.
Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance. This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work. However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer. We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
Thank you

Hi there! Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you. I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences. After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers. If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
Take care

Using the magic earaser tool does not do what I want

I scaned an iron on pattern. Now I want to remove the background color which is white. I thought I could use the magic eraser tool. It does a good job for most of the project, but I have to click on every small area. The reason that I want to do this is to being able to print on any color card stock. Is there another way of doing this.
Thanks
Mike

Even though you now have a useable answer I though I would underscore JJMack's comment about having many options to achieve a specific result in Photoshop by showing an alternative approach, which uses none of the steps included in JJMack's posting.
You would start by making sure your scanned image is on a normal layer, that is, not a background layer. If it is a background layer then double click on it and respond OK to the resulting dialog box.
1. Double click on the scanned layer to open up the Layer Style dialog box. In the Blend If section change the This Layer right-hand slider to about 220 and then alt click on it again and drag the left half of the slider indicator to about 120. This will drop the white out of your scan.
2. Add a solid color fill layer. If you want black lines choose a color something like H=0, S=0% And B=20%. Right click on the layer and select Create Clipping Mask. Change the blending mode to say Color Burn. If you want other line colors double click on the icon in the color fill layer and choose a new color.
Several variaion on this approach exist as well as combining some of the steps in JJMack's approach.

My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

Has anyone out there been charged for texts that were hung up and sent thousands of times?

I just wanted to know how many others out there may have had text/billing issues like mine, and then had to fight the useless battle of trying to get help from Verizon's Customer Service group. Let me tell you my story. One evening I came home, and sent a text to a friend who was visiting a dying friend. I sent the text ONE time. Then later in the evening, I tried to send more texts and phone calls, but I kept getting a message that I wasn't connected to the network. For most of the night, I was unable to place a call or send another text. I did manage to get/send (don't remember which) one call, then it started all over again. When I wen to bed that night after shutting it down several times, my phone was still useless. The next am my friend sends me a text that he had gotten the text about 250+ times. I shut the phone down for a while, but then he sent another one saying he had gotten it around 3000 times. Well, I get my bill for the month and low and behold they charged me over $150.00 EXTRA for all these texts. I only had 1500 on my plan. Of course, it my history with Verizon, i had never sent over 3000 texts before, so they can clearly see my volume history. I placed a call to get this resolved and was told that, of course, no supervisor was available, but he saw what happened, assured me that he would get this taken care of, but just needed to get with his supervisor and would call me the next day. NEVER GOT A RETURN call. I placed yet another call and spoke to a guy named Dwayne. He did call me back, but just to leave me a voice mail letting me know that they deemed the charges to be valid and they would NOT be issuing a credit. TWO more calls later, I have spoken to 3 different reps-1 who claimed to be a supervisor. I was promised 2 more times that I would get a call back by the next day and of course have still not received calls back from any of these people. In the meantime, I paid the portion of my bill that was VAILID. After wasting ALL MY TIME trying to get this resolved, what did I get today? A text warning me to pay my bill to avoid interuption!
Anyone else had this problem? I just filed a complaint with the FCC and I urge anyone else that has had this problem to do the same!!! Verizon needs to hear that people are sick of this poor service and shady billing practices!

I haven't seen any one reported issues like this but have you checked that your device isn't part of the issue because I have ran into a issue with my message saying it wasn't sent but it did but never the number of times you have experienced..
Now as for the billing situation this may be a little bit hard to give you a solution, I know this may not be the solution you want but you may have to simply keep trying to see if you can get a workable solution for your situation.

Why the restart firefox bubble does not show after installing an addon and the remember password bubble is closed (not now x)?

When I go to a post login page, firefox offers to remember password.
If this bubble is ignored (by pressing the x or by choosing the Not now option) and i download an add-on on that page that requires browser restart, the bubble of "restart now" which should get triggered after the installation of the add-on is not shown.
Note: If i press on Remember password or never remember password on this site, the restart bubble shows.

Possibly you could explain carefully what happens, listing the steps you take.
As a test/example Would you be able for instance to recreate the problem with this forum as a login site with a password. And with for example this add-on

I recently applied software updates for Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and 9.1.8 to Logic Pro and now Logic Pro is not operating correctly. Has anyone else experienced this same problem. (Mac Pro Desktop, Mountain Lion).

Need some help.

Thanks. I added the supplemental and it looks like I may be back to normal here. I will have to fully check it out but Logic is opening up correctly and no weirdness so far.

I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?
