My built in clicker for my macbook, the main button below the trackpad, is broken. It will randomly and inconveniently click when I do not want it too. I need a way to simply disable it all together and just use the click function on the trackpad.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Your click function on the trackpad itself would be set in
System Prefs:Trackpad.
As for the manual clicker below, you might wish to clear
anything that's fallen in by using the edge of a sheet of
paper around the border that you can reach.

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive. But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

When I back up my library, the pictures do not go to my external HD as albums/pastes, they are copied all together, so I have to arrange one by one to get all organized. It takes too long. Is there any option to organize it automatically? Thanks

If you backup correctly to a correctly formatted drive (Mac OS extended (journaled) )then everything can be restored exactly as it was prir to the backup
How exactly are you "backing up"?

Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

How do I delete two old Apple ID's and just use my current Apple ID?

I had an Apple ID with an AOL email, I switched over to yahoo. While making the switch I misspelled the yahoo email address. I could not delete it, so I made another yahoo email address ID. Eventually I lost access to my previous purchases that were associated with the faulty email address even though I was using my current (correct email) to log onto iTunes. I found this out when my Macbook crashed (iPhoto) and I could not access my previous purchases. Eventually I was able to convince Apple Account Security Support that I was the person who set up the account (I am living in Barcelona currently and calling for support cost a lot of euro on a pay as you go sim and holding for 1 hour is a big waste of euro, but I understand that Apple Support is busy BUT, if you (Chris and Tyler) say you will call a customer back if you are disconnected you should follow through, not leave the customer hanging) (A SHOUT OUT TO MERCEDES, SHE FOLLOWED THROUGH!!!) (Chris and Tyler you guys need additional customer training from Mercedes)
Anyway, back on topic. By a stroke of luck, while I was on hold for 30 minutes, I found the crossed out password to my faulty email ID, I was able to view/restore ALL of my previous purchases. So, my problem now is that I still have two unused Apple ID's. I want to delete them and just use the current. I don't want to call Apple again because I cannot waste anymore euro on hold and I do not feel confident that the Account Security representative will call me back, Mercedes is an exception to that. It would be nice to resolve this by email correspondence OR and actual call from Apple Account Security.
On a side note, I have purchased three Apple devices while here in Barcelona. Europe has a mandatory two year warranty, but if you have a US iTunes Account serial numbers written in for warranty information only are recognized by US one year warranty standards. Apple should Should acknowledge this loophole/oversight.
So that's a brief summary as it relates to my question. Sorry for the length of it. I hope I can get some good opinions for a possible resolution for my question/issue.
Thanks

Your account isn't US or Spanish or any country but should be associated with the country in which you are resident. Your US account becomes a Spanish account if that is where you now live but it is all the same AppleID. Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store. You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period). As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.
Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6119 - "After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section."
Even if you do not change country you are not supposed to use your account outside the USA. The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itune/us/terms.html#SERVICE
As for the devices, I believe except for computers the warranties only apply in the country/region of purchase. If you return to the USA with them you would have to return them to Spain for any service (and no, Apple will not ship them back to another country either direction -- you'll have to get a friend to take them in).
Apple Hardware Warranties - http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ - select device, then model, then country, then view warranty button. Look for:
"IMPORTANT RESTRICTION
Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the Apple Product." - http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english.html

HT201209 I went onto my computer and set up an account...I entered my gift cards where it said redeem and there is $40 on my account. However,I have no idea how to use it. I read that I can take my credit card out and just use the itunes card but again

I went into the computer and set up my account, I then went to where you enter the gift card info to redeem the money and my account says I have $40...however, when I go and try to use it I can not figure out how to do so. I also read that I can remove my credit card info and just use Itune cards...but again i can not figure out how to do this.
This is very frustrating because something so simple is turning into an all day fiasco!

Hello Brod1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing. The iTunes Store will automatically recognize the credit you applied. You can find the details of how iTunes Store purchases are billed below:
Order of iTunes billing methods
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
Free song credits are redeemed first.
If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it. It doesn't need to be an active sim. Read this
USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new. Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone. Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages. Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields. Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

Hi ShantellePhilips,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

Hi..
Select None in the Payment Information window.
Then purchase iTunes gift cards which you can redeem from the iTunes Store to make purchases. Be aware, that the None option is not available in all counties.

Went to sleep at 63% and woke up dead! Is it possible to return 4S and just use my 4 or am I acting to soon?

Went to sleep at 63% and woke up dead! Is it possible to return 4S and just use my 4 or am I acting to soon? The fact that I'm not always home and don't get to charge as much as I could scares me. I need my phone for alarms and meeting in the morning but waking up to it drained is not good at all!

I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%
