Mouse moves but won't open program

Recently moved my computer to another room. Plugged everything in and rebooted. All worked fine but requires frequent reboots because the mouse arrow will move but clicking will not open any program. On e rebooted it will work unti next time. What do I need to do?

Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets at least 2-3 each. For instructions please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets. Post back with your results please.

Air installed but won't open programs such as Elements Inspirational Browser

When I try to open a program that needs Air, the license screen pops up, I check agree and then nothing happens, cannot open program

Thanks for the reply. Well I have made some sort of progress, It was not playing ball so I went into start>control panel>uninstall a program and tried to uninstall it but it said that only installed programs could be installed? So I managed to uninstall it by deleted all the files in the c>programfiles>adobe>elements8 etc. I then put the disk in and the serial number was already in there rather than me enter it? It went through the install process only then to say 'rolling back' and is then removed everything and said that the installation process had been interupted and for me to try again. So then I did a disk clean up and restarted the PC. Once restarted I then put the disk in the CD drive and away we go again. This time like the first time it asked me to enter the serial key into the box and it goes through the installation process. Success it then works BUT after coming out of it and going back into it literally 10 minutes later it says 'our records indicate that this serial key has been used already to set up Elementson two other machines which is the maximum allowed. I have 3 options 1) adobe can check the serial key again as I have deactivated from the other PC and Adobe will validate this 2) I have a different serial key or 3) 30 day trial.
The person I bought it off said they had deactivated it from thier PC
Would the earlier problems have caused the software to activate on my PC but then after I deleted it, it still thinks that its activated so its used up 1 licence or would the previous issues have no bearing and the seller has sold me a copy thats had both licences used ?

After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive. The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.

After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive. The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.
This has happened EVERY time the iMac goes to sleep for the last few days.. the only way I have found to resolve the issue is to manually restart the computer each time via the button on the back of the iMac.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thanks

FWIW, I never sleep my machines or their HDs, just their displays and never have an issue waking up the displays, usually run 24/7. Give that a shot.

I'm having trouble with My adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard programs opening. They will bounce to open but won't open up and eventually I will need to force quit as they aren't responding. I'm thinking it may be a font issue but need some support A

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
Thanks

I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

New pages won't open on iPad; new pages shows installed on air book but won't open. Related?

new pages program won't open iPad cloud documents without crashing--work around is to not open any documents in clouds, but it saves to clouds anyway; however, new pages program shows installed on air book but won't open new pages documents created on ipad without message "need to install a newer version of pages", which I have done. Are these two problems related?

Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
Try again with Pages.
If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.

HT1660 iTunes library files full and cannot download movie but plenty of open disc space?

iTunes library files full and cannot download movie but plenty of open disc space?

To clarify, currently on the 2TB external drive are music and videos. I want to split them up and hopefully save some space - and maybe foresee problems in the future when I hit max capacity on the 1TB external, and think about a 4GB (not the best option I see at this time) or another 2 2TB drives.
Doesn't the Library file just save locations when iTunes closes down so everything should be OK? I mean, the prog can recognize everything, it just won't download to anything, even if I move from the external drive an older movie to the new drive, it refuses to "see" the movie so I can download it.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

Files in Finder but won't open

I made a disc image the other day using Carbon Copy Cloner and when I mount it, there are a bunch of files that list in the Finder just like they would normally, with appropriate file sizes and their icons in tact, but they won't open in their respective applications. Every file, like a quicktime for example, if you double click it will open its associated application but then the app will report an error like "can't understand file" or something like that. Does anyone have experience with files that appear to be there but won't open? THanks.
PS - permissions seem to be set correctly on these files -

Hello Sean:
According to your profile information, you are running OS X 10.3.x. If that is the case, you should post in that forum as you are liable to get incorrect answers here. If you are running OS X 10.4.X, I have read that CCC had some compatibility problems with OS X 10.4 - I do not know if they are resolved (I dumped CCC in favor of SuperDuper months ago). I only use SD (and before that CCC) to make bootable clones......
