Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)
Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
My problem:
While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
Who knows:
- why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
- is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
By the way:
- I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
- The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
Thanks for answers.

I have the same problem now that I've enabled FileVault 2 on Mountain Lion.

After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?
The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

on my ipad 2 video streaming stops after a few seconds, only sound is playing .what could be the reason and how to solve this problem.
I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.Hi,
Is this failing with Error 20 ?
Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

As soon as I plug my iphone4 (running 4.3.3) into my pc, it appears in the left hand column and the little wheel starts turning. Then it stops after a few seconds and itunes freezes. I have tried everything. Can anyone help. Thanks
Hi Patrick,
Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks! -
My MacBook will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.
My Mac book pro will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.
Hello GrahamBIOM,
I understand while viewing a video or listening to some different content, you lose audio, is that correct? I will do all I can to assist you with this issue.
Does the issue occur when you have headphones inserted? If you are not sure, if you have a set of headphones available could you test that please?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience with results.
Thanks

My ipad stops after a few seconds, says slide to power off/cancel. What is the problem?
What could be wrong with my ipad? it stops after a few seconds with "slide to power off" noted.
Settings are OK, but the internal power supply is on the verge of failure. Soon, you will not be able to turn the Time Capsule on at all after it turns off.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
Otherwise, contact Apple Support.

It's a cycle: open Acrobat > 5 seconds later Acrobat quits with no warning > license agreement page opens > I click Accept > Acrobat opens > Acrobat quits without warning ... repeat.
I have Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.13. I have Mac OS X 10.9.5.
Very frustrating.
I have Production Premium CS6 too.
I tried deleting the com Adobe files in Preferences under both Library and ~/Library, as a chat support tech recommended, as well as deactivating CS6, but this does not fix the problem.
Please help!Hello Alon Hafri,
Could you please try installing Creative Suite from a new user account.
Sometimes, a user account gets corrupt and prevents installer from accessing the required files.
Please create a new account with administrative privileges, log in to it and run the installer.
Now check and let me know.

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.
I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help. -
Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain 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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Skipping the song after a few seconds on certain tracks
hi, I have spent hours trying to find something about this and there's nothing anywhere, this is getting really annoying.
I bought a 2g ipod nano in February and here's my problem. When i play certain songs, the Ipod will stop after a few seconds and jump to the next one. It happens always on the same song, however I can make it work if I manually skip some of the song by holding the forward button, but it still might jump to the next one after a few seconds. Anyway, I missed a good part of the song in the process and I have to do it all the time. This is annoying because on some albums, I miss up to 4 or 5 songs. I don't think that's what you expect after spending $150 on a new toy.
I noticed it does that on songs that are irregular, with breaks in them. I have restored, reset, erased the songs and replaced them, looked into all the options possible, through the forums and the internet and cant find a good answer. please help me!thanks for all the help.
now, went to play with those options and it doesn't change anything. I even try to set it up so it would skip the first 3 seconds of the song since it's where it stops. To no avail. just stopped at 7 seconds...
So, it's not the track, it's not the gapless option (on or off doesn't make any difference), it's not the Ipod program (reinstalled it several times). What is it then??? -
When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?
Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping). -
Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area."
Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area." There is enough text in the sidelet that the user cant read it all before it disappears on its own. Then they have to move their mouse off the hit area and back on it to see it for another 5 seconds. How do I fix this?
You should tell which version you are using. If you are on CP7 or earlier, look in the Properties panel of the slidelet, not the slidelet area (that is the rollover area, blue rectangle): change time in Timing accordion.
If you are on CP8, for the same object (slidelet) change its time in the Timing panel that is now no longer in the Properties panel. -
