Just recently, my 'Numbers' and 'Pages' programs will not respond. I can click on it, but I can't type anything into the cells, or use the keyboard.

I am unable to type into Pages and Numbers for some reason. I can open them up, but I can't right click. I am using a bluetooth keyboard, on a macbook pro 2007 / 2.4 ghz A1226. I have restarted the computer, repaired disck permissions, done a software update, searched endlessly through the options and preferences to try and see if I may have locked it. I don't have a num lock on my keyboard. Any suggestions?

I wasn't quite sure what editing mode was, so I googled it and found a list of commands on another apple support page. http://www.apple.com/support/pages/shortcuts/
I must have inadvertantly hit a 'command + enter' button and/or another combination of keys. What set the text edit back into motion, and allowed me to begin typing again was hitting 'command + delete.' (It may have been command + enter, but I started typing again after hitting command + delete.)
I have tried to recreate the conditons again but have been unsuccessful. I was experiencing the same issue in keynote as well. When I accomplished the command  in pages and unlocked it using the instrutions above, all of iWork returned to normal functionality.
Thank you very much for the help.

    The next time the crash happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash.

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

  • IPad 2 - did an erase and reset and now it will not respond

    I did an erase and reset on my iPad 2 and now it will not respond, not even by plugging it in to a computer.
    I attempted to do this last night before 10pm and it is after 1pm and is still "cycling".  (The little circle in the middle of a black screen that just goes round and round)
    I've tried to power off with side and front buttons and I have plugged it into the computer as well.  Computer is not recognizing it is even there.
    HELP!

    Powering Off by using the two buttons? Did you reboot it this way?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

        We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Had tried that, and just did again.  Still the same.  Have tried plugging it in to itunes as suggested elsewhere - Agree button still will not respond.  Went on to itunes to download an app - wasnt asked to agree to conditions.  I just don't get it......

    Did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, see this.

  • Every now and then when I log in to hotmail the program will open, all my e-mails are there but I can't open any of them. At the same time everything opens just fine on Chrome. Eventually the problem on Mozilla fixes itself. Suggestions?

    Occasionally hotmail will open just fine but I cannot access any of my listed e-mails or files. At the same time everything works just fine in Chrome. Eventually the problem on Mozilla sorts itself out somehow and I can then open e-mail through that browser again. I don't make any changes on my system to correct the problem.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
