My computer will not let me type in my password or move the mouse but the date and time are changing and there is a spinning noise what do I do!!???

Meredith199,
does your MacBook Pro have an Eject key (⏏) in the top-right corner of the keyboard? If so, does pressing Control-⏏ show a restart/sleep/shutdown dialog box?
If you press Shift-⌘Q, does your MacBook Pro recognize that as an attempt to log out?

  • My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

    My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • Ever since the upgrade, my computer will not let me pick a new tab. I can't hit the plus or ask for a tab. How do I correct this??????

    Ever since the firefox did an automatic update, it will not let me select a new tab. I can't hit the plus sign or even if I click on New tab..it will Not work. If you right click on something and say open in new tab it will but it WILL NOT let me open a new blank tab to search in since the update.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • My Mac will not start unless I connect charger for a few minutes even though the battery is full

    I am new to Mac and would someone know why this is happening? It started happening after the Maverick download.

    Hi NewMacUser10,
    If you are having an unusual power or charging issues with your portable Mac, you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). The SMC controlls or affects many of the low level power related functions on a Mac, including things like battery level reporting and power switching. You may find the following article helpful:

  • My 2 week old ipad randomly shuts down and sometimes will not let me type web address into browser.

    Sometimes my ipad will just restart itself (the screen goes black, and the apple icon appears and then it's back on). The battery will be higher than 50%. Also, when this is occurring frequently, the web browser will not let me type an address in. When I tap on the address bar it sends me back to my home screen. It will connect to the internet during this time, so I know it's not a internet connection problem.

    When in doubt, reboot.  Press and hold the sleep and power buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.  You may simply be overwhelming the memory.  From time to time, doulbe click on the home button to see the task bar.  Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.

    By design the iPad will only Sync with one iTunes at a Time, so what you are experiencing is expected behavior.

    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

    The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
    All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
    The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
    I'm not claiming that  Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

  • My Iphone 4  will not let me send an email or reply to an email.  The message states it has put it in my outbox  and it is rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying???   I can't seem to find an answer to fix this.  Any help?

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.
