These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

Quit your browser then relaunch and try again.

Recently a problem has developed -- I can't use the top inch of the firefox window -- any buttons there cannot be activated - my cursor is able to move ovber them but can't click on them. What should I do?

Within the firefox window -- anything in the top inch or so I am unable to use. This is the same for any site. I don't know what has happened and I cannot fix it.
In that area, I can move the cursor but when I click on things I cannot activate them anymore - an example is I can't go to the shopping basket on Amazon or my account.
Waht should I do?

Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's
LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
THANK YOU!

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

XY graph "mouse move" event stops generating when click on cursor

Hello All
When the mouse is moving freelly inside the XY graph control, the "mouse movement" event is fired.
The same happens when muse clicks anywhere in the graph with the exception of cursors.
hen mouse clicks on cursors the "mouse move" event is NOT generated even though the mouse is phisically moved.
Is there any explanation to this.
I enclose the example.
regards
Pawel

Just today I had the same problem -> my solution:
set event timeOut to some value(I have it at 1ms) then
add to globalVariables some BOOL variable that will signal if mouse is down or up (set the flag in appropriate event),
then add a case in the timeOut event which will read this
global variable(flag) -> if it's TRUE then change the needed parameter.
So even if the mouse move event isn't fired the main timeout event is.
Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing.
Peace

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but I can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?
Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

Lion recovery opens but can't click?

First lion install downloaded from app store doesn't get beyond checking disk, after. 20 min. Gave up! Thenade USB drive by using disk utility then choosing after pressing option key at restart. Opens fine but no trackpad or enter key only arrow keys. Can highlight but can't choose. Hours going in circles.

Without proper system information and a better explanation of your workflow nobody can say anything. Could be that there is an invisible dialog blocking all features until being confirmed or dismissed, could be just as well soem weird compatibility issue when trying to open files from LR via ACR and the respective dialogs not showing. and then of course all the usual from broken prefs to local permissions and whatever issues, none of which we can know because you haven't told us...

Pages Crashes Mouse moves but can't click

Anyone ever have this problem. My mouse stops being able to click. I can move it. And the keyboard seems to work. I can switch applications with apple tab and close them out. But pages never comes back. I have to reboot. This has happen two days in a row on my mac book air.
thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Are you getting the spinning color wheel when the mouse won't click? If so, it could just be that Pages is working. How long have you waited for Pages to "come back"? Depending on what Pages is trying to do, it could be awhile. I do think Pages & Numbers both take more time than they should sometimes, but, unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do about that.
If waiting doesn't do it, it could be Pages has corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages. Another test is to see if Pages does this in another user account.
The simple step of restarting your Mac can often clear up some issues as it clears some caches. You could also restart in Safe Mode (hold down the shift key after the "bong" until the grey Apple appears) then restart again normally. This will clear even more caches. While in Safe Mode, you can test Pages as well. Safe Mode will disable third-party add-ons & other non-essential system features (like my Magic Mouse! so I keep a wired mouse handy).

Import a clean MP3 file, but can hear clicks when used in Captivate

Hi there,
I am having a problem with Captivate and wondered if anyone
could offer some advice. I have done some audio recordings and
import them into Captivate. However, when I listen to the files
from Captivate, the audio quality is much worse with audible clicks
that were not present in the original audio file.
I have tried importing WAV and MP3 files and changed the
settings to CD quality, but am still experiencing this problem. Can
anyone advise me how this problem can be eradicated?
Thanks
Mo

Welcome to our community, Mo
Do the audible clicks sound somewhat like mouse clicks? I ask
because it's common for Captivate to make a clicking sound as it
moves from slide to slide. For example, if you create a new blank
project with perhaps three or four slides and simply preview it, do
you hear the same clicks? If so, there is a way to banish that.
Take a look at the following link:

I exited iMovie and lost my project. I am able to find it in Finder, under the Movies tab, but can not get it back to a project in iMovie. Is there a way to restore it?

Please help! I exited iMovie and lost my project that I've been working on for days... I am able to find it in "Finder" under iMovie Projects... but I am unable to open it as a Project in iMovie. I am using iMovie '11, with no time machine, and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

I fully sympathise with you, as I recently experienced the same issue (as have many others).
Projects always appear as normal in Finder in the Home folder Movies/iMovie Projects (or on an external disk at the top level in Movies/iMovie Projects). Nothing looks untoward there.
However, when iMovie is opened again after an editing session, the most recent project worked on does not appear in the listing of projects in iMovie's Project Library - although it is still listed in the Finder folder . This happens for no apparent reason - no unexpected quits, freezes, or crashes, and nothing else out of the ordinary. iMovie is simply not recognizing the project. It can't even be opened by double-clicking on the project in Finder.
Here are a number of links to other topics on this issue (there may be others I've missed):

Sorry to bombard you with all these links, but as you will see there are others here reporting the same problem. No solution has been forthcoming unfortunately.
Be sure to provide feedback to Apple - in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback, then complete the online form.

Open web browser but can't click

I open my web browser to home page but nothing happens when I click on links or buttons.
SImilar to a mouse that isn't connected or recognized.

Turning blue would indicate that your device does recognize it as a hyperlink.
You do have a BlackBerry Data Plan on your account... you do have a working browser on your device?
Can you use the browser to open a site?
My first suggestion is With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Then try it again.

U/I freezes, mouse moves, keyboard ignored, can still remote login

Hi...
Maybe someone has seen this before. I've been stumped for 9 months with this problem.
Aproximately once a month (or two months), always while using my computer, the whole U/I freezes -- although mouse motion works. All other U/I updates are frozen. The clock freezes, iTunes goes quiet, all dynamic updating of the screen (weather, processor use, etc.) all freezes. Only the mouse pointer moves around.
Every time I can still ssh into the machine from my laptop !! The load average is near zero. I can run "top" and only top itself is consuming processor time. One time I believe I was able to kill a system process, I thought it was CoreGraphics, and regain control at the console. But I must have forgotten, because this hasn't worked lately. Also, one time I thought that after waiting a long time, the screen recovers. But usually I don't have the patience to wait - so haven't confirmed.
Typically I do a shutdown -r to restart at this point. Although last night I was randomly killing system processes and ended up being unable to sudo anymore (would just hang after asking for my password.) So I power cycled.
Being that this happens so infrequently and I can't reproduce at will, I must admit I haven't kept due deligence on what I'm doing. Often it seems I'm launching a program. Last night I was launching EditCSS for the first time. All seemed to freeze instantly the moment it was up. It was at that point I couldn't do anything at the console.
There is absolutely nothing written into the system log during this time.
I have run hardware test over the months. All is okay. My RAM is dealer installed. My G5 has been in the shop previously and extensively diagnosed for an overheating processor in the past (the processor was replaced.) So I assume it has been through full hardware diagnosis a couple times. The U/I freezes were happening before this period and after.
The U/I freezes have also occured through Mac OS X updates. I always am hoping they'll stop after an upgrade, but that hasn't happened.
I'm always running Deja Vu, Little Snitch, Menu Meters, PowerChute, Adium.
Any other suggestions, ideas, or experiences others have had?
Thanks,
Erik
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4.5 GB RAM

Well gentlemen (and ladies, assuming there are some here), to throw another “stumper” into the fire here, I have a late-model 2.3GHz G5 PCI Express Powermac, and I literally have had it running under FULL CPU UTILISATION (distributed.net RC5-72 client) 24x7 since I received it in the fall of last year. It is a refurbished unit, and in January of 2007 I added an ATi Radeon X1900 PCI Express card to it… well, the only time I get these UI freezes (where the only thing responding is the cursor) occurs within UI-related accessing in a game called Tribal Trouble. Specifically, when accessing the options or campaign settings, sometimes everything else locks up (except for the mouse and background music). I have not yet tested with the stock GeFarce 6600 card in it, perhaps I will give that a go. Otherwise, seems to be a common issue with you all.
Oh, just to be sure—are you who are affected by this problem using the AGP or PCI-Express G5 towers?
