MacBook Pro won't allow website to use camera

Hey fellows.
So, I've been trying to use a few different websites, the likes of www.6rounds.com and www.stickam.com, that allow you to video chat with people. Whenever I try to make sure my camera is working, though, it refuses to acknowledge it. I have the macromedia settings set up properly, and I can open photobooth, and immediately the green light opens. As soon as I switch screens, though, it disappears, and even with it open in the background, the camera can never be accessed.
Any help? It would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Elandruss,
Did you reach out to Stickam's support group?

Sounds like the software's ability to access the hardware is the point of failure. If the camera works in Photo Booth, it's not an OS X issue.

My MacBook Pro won't allow me to install Mavericks because "The disk cannot be used to startup your computer"

I had this same problem when I tried to install Mountian Lion. I already tried changing my partitions and it wont let me because of something about my filesystem verification failed. I have no idea what to do. Help!

AishaniKumar,
which model MacBook Pro do you have? If you click on the Apple menu, hold down the Option key, and then click on “System Information…”, a new window will appear. Which Model Identifier is shown in the Hardware Overview of that window?

My Macbook Pro won't allow me to update from Quicktime 10.2 to 10.7

I need QuickTime 7 on my mac to play some files for work, and already have QuickTime 10.2 on it, which my Mac won't allow me to uninstall. And when I try and install 7.7, I get an alert telling me that 'This version of QuickTime 7 can't be instralled on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for you Mac.'
Yet when I use Software Update, there is nothing to update.
Any ideas?

My MacBook pro won't allow me to double click to open files or select the music I want to play, how do I fix this?

When going to open a file or select a song to play in iTunes or opening links I used to be able to double click on my track pad to open files or links, now I have to tap once with two fingers to open the "right click" option on a normal mouse pad to be able to select it. How do I fix this in order to be able to just double click the track pad to open the folder or link?

Hi kylec4544,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Pro. If you are having issues opening things by double clicking on them, you may want to double check to make sure the double click speed hasn't accidentally been set too high, as noted in the following article:

Macbook pro won't drag and drop using mountain lion

Since installing mountain lion. I have been unable to drag and drop.selected items just stay stuck to the cursor and when positioned where they need to go the item will not drop. the only way to correct this seems to be by pressing escape command and the trackpad which then returns the item to its original position. this has only happened since I installed mountain lion OS X it is getting very annoying. My model is a mid 2009 15 inch laptop MacBook Pro which has 8 GB of RAM, I have noticed that other people seem to have the same problem but have been using an installed item called LapLink display I do not this have,so this is not causing the problem. any help to resolve thiswould be much appreciated.

I now seem to have solved the problem after reading various solutions. The one that works for me is to to put the laptop to sleep and on reawaking the machine works as it should.

MacBook Pro won't close have to use power button

My Mac won't turn off. Desk top is blank with mouse cursor showing. Will only quit using the power button.
I have run the FSCK as David Pogue suggests, ran Disk Utilities from the Install disk but no change.
Anyone have any similar problems or better yet a fix?
Jerry

This is usually caused by a process that is hung so the system cannot shut down. Very difficult to determine what may be the cause as almost anything could be at the root of the problem, and you cannot monitor what is happening after you select Shut Down.
If the computer goes to sleep without the same problem, then it's not likely due to programs you have running, although that is still possible. A running program may have corrupted cache files preventing it from properly quitting.
You could start by installing the freeware utility called AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Read the documentation carefully to learn how to use it as it requires booting into single-user mode and running it from the command line. It's pretty easy to use as it will run automatically.
I would also suggest the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If these don't resolve the problem then you may have corrupted system files that are preventing proper shut down. In this case you will need to reinstall OS X:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

MacBook Pro won't allow me to copy/unrar .RAR Files (error code -36).

So basically, I've been downloading a lot of .RAR files and its been fine until now. I can't copy/unrar anything. I tried so much I even upgraded from snowy leopard to Lion. I'm pretty angry and I've tried dot_clean /users/manraj/desktop/
I've reformatted my externals and honestly I can't even Time Machine back it up let alone copy it. Genius Bar won't help at all because they never back anything up. If anything they aren't responsible for loosing your files.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Manraj

Is this an external drive, internal drive, both? Did you put a tons of files on your desktop which is bad thing to do with OSX?

My MacBook Pro won't allow me to delete a problematic font, how can I go ahead deleting it?

I downloaded a font a couple of days ago, and I noticed that the font is in my Itunes. I googled how to delete a font, and I did what it told me to do, but my computer isn't allowing me to delete this font. Why is it doing this, and how can I go ahead deleting the font?
Thank you in advance for answering ^_^

Have you used Font Book (in your Applications folder)?
Try it and delete the typeface using it.

Any idea why my macbook pro won't allow me to save anything?

I have plenty of free space- when I click 'Save As' in Illustrator the save window pops up but then disappears again in a second before I am able to save it. The same thing is also happening in Safari browser. Very odd as it has only just started doing it after having this mac for 3 years!

Start with these and see if it helps:

pram reset:

Try a safe boot, some times this can fix some glitches, power off, power back on holding the shift key till you see the progress indicator (note this will take longer than normal) login, logout. Boot normally.

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google), Opera, or Mozilla Firefox. I already did the "Reset Safari", restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete.

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.

Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it. (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

MacBook Pro won't start after I completed my first backup using TimeMachine

My MacBook Pro won't restart after I did my first TimeMachine backup. I tried in SafeMode but no luck. My MacBook Pro is a 2009 early version running Snow Leopard. Please help.
Thanks,

I have managed to get into my computer through the OS X install disk but now my wi fi hardware is gone. Ie no airport.
When I try to re install the airport extreme wi fi base station software it tells me it can't be installed as this version of Mac OS X (Lion) on is volume is not supported.
Not even an Ethernet cable gets me on line. In system preferences when I do a network diagnostic all I get is the spinning disk. Again, any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks
