My cat sat on my keyboard and now my computer is talking.

How do I get this incessant commentary on my activity to STOP??
I can't even mute it. Please help.

Turn off VoiceOver in the Universal Access or Accessibility pane of System Preferences.

As an aside: Some people report that their cat will "mark" the MBP/MBA keyboard, and such "marking" is not civered under warranty. Closing it while unattended may be wise.

My cat sat on my keyboard and now my desktop display looks like it is in night vision with color. How do I get it back to it's original display?

My cat sat on my keyboard and changed the display. Now the coloration and brightness looks like it is in night vision with a bit of color. It is similar to one of the photo booth effect options. How do I get it back to normal?

Hi JoeBeth,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your colors have become inverted on your display. This is a feature of Universal Access. Please refer to the attached article for information on this feature with instructions to toggle it on and off.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)
Have a great day,
Joe

My cat stepped on my keyboard and now my colors are different and when I look at the screen the lettering is not clear

Help! My cat stepped on my keyboard and now my colors are almost a light neon color and the font is not clear. How do I fix this?

Sounds like the display colors got inverted. If that is the case, you can use the accessibility preferences or use the keyboard shortcut control-option-command-8. I can't help with fixing your cat.

My cat walked on my keyboard and now my task bar will not stay up. F3 brings it up, but it wont stay.

This whole deal reeks. I do not know where you got your product from, but that's not how Adobe Photoshop works.
Go here first: Contact Customer Care
That is the official contact.
Contact Customer Care by chat or Phone.
If the website you went on is not www.adobe.com, close the browser.
If the number is for a "survey" to "win a trip", hang up. It's a scam to get your credit card in order to "secure" the trip.

Cat layed on my keyboard and now Youtube and other sites don't load properly.

Hi there,
My cat got on my keyboard earlier and started flopping around, and now youtube doesn't look right, as well as other sites. When I run Firefox in safe mode, it does load but disabling the addons and plugins manually doesn't make it work. Did the cat disable something?
Thanks!

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard touching various keys, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

Have you tried HELP in FINDER? If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors. Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.

Makes the regular start up noise and back to same routine.... PLease help if possible....
Thanks Tina Schlemer

Try booting to the recovery partition and running Disk Utility.
1, Boot while holding down the command and R keys (two keys).
see this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
2. Run Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the left column, First Aid then click Repair Disk.
3. Quit DU and restart.
If that does not do it, you can reinstall the OS from the same screen as took you to DU.
(My cat has never been able to do what yours did. I think he is just trying to email his friends.)

I don't know how to turn off a kitten (I would probably get the Nobel prize if I did!) but Pierre is correct, although his target is wrong:
System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing - turn off VoiceOver.

For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

Changed batteries in my keyboard and now everything is upside down

I just changed batteries in my keyboard and now everything on my desktop is upside down. How do I right it?

Right click on an empty part of your desktop and left click "Graphics Properties" or something similar. Next, locate options for "Flip" or "Rotate" and correct the setting to put your screen right-side up. Please provide the model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question for more accurate assistance.

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the 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.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility 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 Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

I deleted the SystemConfiguration folder on OSX Yosemite and now my computer won't reboot.

I need some help. My WiFi connection kept disconnecting all the time so I looked on here and saw that you could fix the problem by following these steps
Navigate to /Library/Preferences using either method:
Terminal: open -a Finder /Library/Preferences
Finder: Open New Finder Window -> "Go" -> "Go To Folder ..." -> [ Type In: /Library/Preferences ]
Backup the folder "SystemConfiguration" by copying it to your Desktop.
Delete the folder as it sits in /Library/Preferences.
Done.
I didn't back up my SystemConfiguration folder and now my computer won't start up again. It gets frozen halfway on the reboot screen.
I don't know what to do. Please help.

Hello Tian10an,
Do you have TimeMachine backup? If so you could try to recover(⌘+R) to the last available one.
Unfortunately other than that the only option for you seems to be reinstalling the OS.

My cat sat on my keyboard and now my computer is talking.
