My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.
macbook pro 15" 2.4 GHz intel core duo.2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,

CS6 PS Cropping Tool has many problems for working professionals...

Ok, I understand that the kids at Adobe would like to change things around in "upgrade versions" of Photoshop. However for working photographers and professionals that crop A LOT of images in the course of their work, the new cropping tool is a DISASTER! A few may like the new tool... however, there are many that don't. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop_6_crop_tool?utm_content=re ply_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification#reply_10280572
To the point, here's how to fix the problem. Adobe, you have the CS5 PS cropping tool code... please put that code EXACTLY as it is in CS5 into the "Classic" option for CS6 PS. This way, those who WORK with Photoshop and PAY to use the software can get their work done using the excellent crop tool as was in CS5 (which I have downgraded to so I can get work done) and those who are giddy about the new crop tool can play to their hearts content.
Adobe, you are upsetting a lot of paying clients with your new crop tool and the "faux" classic tool option. You might want to address this issue soon!

Ken, I have to say that I too chose to go back to CS5. I feel like I got nailed with being an "early adopter", you know the guys that get to do the bug testing for a company because they didn't know how to do it or were too cheap.
That is something that Noel (How you doing Noel? You probably don't remember me from back in the Macromedia user group days, but thought I'd say hi anyhow) either doesn't understand or isn't acknowledging so far.
I am judging by his like 19k+ posts that he's either a rep on behalf of Photoshop or an avid user. I appreciate what he is trying to do, but on the other hand, just admit the tool is a pain. It isn't intuitive. It does take WAY too long to figure out to use.
I have NEVER had this much problem with any tool in Photoshop. This tool represents the biggest pain I have EVER experienced with a Photoshop tool and I've used it since '93. I adore Photoshop. I am a power user. Those words aren't the words of a flippant newbie.
I know if I use it for 8 hours a day like you Noel, that I will get used to it, but that isn't the point.
The point is that I feel like I was hit with a poorly thought out tool, with a poorly implemented "Classic" mode that feels buggy, to say the least. It's usability doesn't "flow" because for example what genius thought of hitting the P key to go into Classic mode, when that conflicts with the Pen/Paths tool? Really? My deeper concern is that Photoshop is slipping on it's usability standards like Apple is on it's iPhones. In the words of usability guru, Steve Krug "Don't make me think."
What I chose to do is this:
1)Grudgingly use CS6 for the things it does really really well. Can I just say I love the new Raw interface, and love "Clarity" for example? Great job guys. I watched a tutorial and got it almost instantly.
2)Continue to use CS5 for cropping lot's of images, something I also do a lot of. Cross my fingers that whoever dropped the ball on this gets their act together and makes this tool truly usable and intuitive. At the very least they will make the Classic mode work properly. For example, why do I keep popping out of Classic mode? Why doesn't the preference stick consistently? There shouldn't be a learning curve this steep on a crop tool. I'm really surprised this didn't come up in usability testing.
I hate being the first adopter, because they get to work out all the kinks for the people who failed to do their job in the first place. That's what feels like happened here. If users don't complain and give feedback, Adobe will never fix the problem, right?
Now before somebody freaks out and calls this a flame, it isn't. No emotion is to be read into this that isn't expressly stated. I'm not being sarcastic, sardonic or unfriendly. Whatever tone is being read into this is a projection of your own mind.

Crop tool has stopped working

I have been scanning slides into iPhoto, then cropping them to fit into iMovie to make a slide show. After doing about ten of them the crop tool stopped working. It still saves any other editing that I do but will not save the crop.
Any ideas? Please help.

Hello, Country Mouse,
As a general help, close iPhoto and delete the iPhoto plist.
Go to Users->Yourusername->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Drag the com.apple.iPhoto.plist into the trash. iPhoto will create a new one when you launch it again. See if that fixes the crop tool.

The cropping tool has gone haywire.

The cropping tool no longer works simply and efficiently. Instead of just drawing a rectangle around what I want to keep, it sort of floats vertically for a distance, then stops. There is also a grid of six squares, which I don't need. Help!

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

My trackpad started acting strange - it is way too sensitive. Even after I change the system prefs!

My trackpad will register a click when my hand is just above it, and it will stay clicked for a few seconds. It is becoming a huge problem. This has just started happening a few days ago.

THAT'S IT! My spoon is ruined, but it's cool, cause now I realize that I have these powers. I'll serve soup for dinner and have a little fun with the family! HAHAHAHA!!
I made a wrist pad to rest my wrist on rather than relaxing it on the laptop (like I was use to doing.) Now that my arm is raised off of the trackpad it doesn't do it as often. Once in a while it does act as though I didn't let go of it and keeps objects or text selected. I end up moving and tapping the thing until it releases the hold. I'll focus my powers on this next time it happens.
Thanks for the response!

Very strange and possibly complex problem: Macbook (A1342) Trackpad starts acting strangely after typing something on keyboard

A few things you need to understand first:
1) My macbook keyboard does not work.
2) Upon reboot, the trackpad works fine.
3) Then, as soon as I try typing something on the macbook keyboard, the trackpad starts to register every single click as a two-finger (right-click).
4) Then, immediately after I push a key down on the bluetooth keyboard, the trackpad starts doing the double-click thing again.
Here's another strange thing. This issue arose a few weeks ago, then suddenly disappeared without me doing anything. I mean, the trackpad AND macbook keyboard were both working flawlessly. After about a week, this reappeared again, and my macbook keyboard stopped working, with the exception of like, 1 key.I have no idea what this could possibly be. Advice appreciated, though I'm not sure anyone here would have any clue what this could be.

I had a similar problem. The battery was VERY SLIGHTLY deformed and was exerting preassure on the bottom of the trackpad. A new battery solved the problem.
Hope this helps.

My crop tool has quit working

Short of a Photoshop reinstall, what can I do to fix this?

You can try resetting your preferences.
You dont say what platform you are on but do the following:
Windows: Shift + Ctrl + Alt
Mac: Shift + Command + Option
Press these key combinations as you start Photoshop. You will get a message asking if you want to delete your preferences file.
Good luck
Cheers
John

Photoshop has started acting weird

whenever I try to do a fill layer it fills everything but my selection. When I try do draw a dashed line it's invisible. Should I reintall Photoshop? I am using CS5.5.

A logical next step is to rest your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Does anyone have an helpful suggestions??

I am having the same issue in my iPad Mini with iOS 7. I have deleted the same books and redownloaded them several times and still have the same problem.

My dock has been acting strange lately.

Whenever I open an application that isn't permanently on my dock, it doesn't appear on the dock and when I open an application that is permanently on my dock, such as Safari, the blue indicator light doesn't turn on and if I want to quit the application, I try right-click, "Quit Safari" but it doesn't show the option. My OS system is OS X 10.7.5.
For example there, I have Safari and iTunes open but none of them have the blue indicator light on.
And when I right-click, it doesn't show the usual windows open, "New Window" or "Quit" options.

You have to send it in for repairs if you can't Reset it by
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you can see any Red mark.
Pressing Menu and Center Button together at the same time for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.

Hyperlink tool in inspector acting strangely

Hello forum!
I've embedded several hyperlinks in the text portions of my iWeb-designed site and they've all worked fin until today. For some reason now, each time to paste the URL i wish to be hyperlinked from the text highlited, I get my little Mac emergency noise and the hyperlink reverts back to a default address (this this case, www.apple.com).
Like I said, this worked fine before, but not I cannot input any hyperlink or Web address without inspector reverting back to www.apple.com when I finish editing.

Problem #1 I cannot see "Post a Question" at the top of the discussion page as mentioned in "Help".
Problem #2 which is why I logged on:
I'm trying to make remove a hyperlink I do not want to use, it won't go away and the new URL I insert does not connect.
Using a 1 GHz PowerPC G4 and OS 10.4.8, these are the steps I have taken:
1. Selected "Make all hyperlinks inactive"
2. Selected "Enable as a hyperlink"
3. Removed the unwanted URL and "Saved"
4. Inserted the desired URL and "Saved"
5. Deselected "Make all hyperlinks inactive"
6. Saved
7. Publish to mac
8. Viewed site and the unwanted URL is still active.

HT4623 Ever since I upgraded my iphone 4s has been acting strange.

example is when I have a friend call the ring tone is wrong and the picture doesn't show up.
How do I fix this?

All the "apple" icons such as STOCKS, etc can't be deleted. I use itunes to move them all onto the last screen of icons that I have so I never have to look at them. Kind of dumb you can't delete even apple icons that you never use. I'd rather save the phone memory and use it for something else.
