My Mac mini locks up (I get the whirling ball). Is there any way to reboot or get out of the lockup with out turning off the computer at the switch?

Nancy, I have the same problem. To get out hold down command-option-esc to force quit. My question is why is this happening and what can I do to stop it? The application affected is Iphoto when I click on edit.
Imac 2.66GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Just upgraded to 10.6.8, doesn't help.

HT1212 i am not near a computer with itunes due to being at work. Is there another way to unlock my I phone. I set the new passcode last night and forgot the combination.

is there any other way to unlock an I phone?

Do you have a backup with iCloud? If you do, you could log into a computer and go to www.icloud.com, wipe the phone and then from the phone restore to the backup. Otherwise, it requires iTunes and the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

HT201300 I have a MacBookPro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 - Just purchased an Apple TV Device but can't mirror stuff in my computer to the TV. Do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion in order to get air play or is there another way to mirror stuff to my TV?

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Aperture trash is not displaying items in trash. I want to get a number items out of trash. How do I get them displayed or is there another way to put them back in the file?

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.

I hope there is a solution to this problem note that I can not use the iPad now

Your question makes no sense and I'm not sure if you typed very quickly and autocorrect went nuts on you, or if you are not a native English speaker and Google Translate didn't work properly. If you are saying that you forgot the passcode to unlock the iPad, follow the instructions here.

Is there a way to unlock a picture or frame downloaded from the web so that it can be used in another document?

I occasionally need to copy a picture from a blog or website and modify it for my own use. No matter how I try to do this, generally in Pages or MSWord for Mac, I can't find a way to unlock the frame or picture so that I can copy just the picture. Is there some way to do this?

Right-click on the website image. Copy Image. In Word, Edit > Paste Special > As Picture (TIFF).
You may wind up with a black border around a white background. That is because the default Word wrap is Inline with Text. Right-click on your blank image, and choose a different Wrap Text submenu choice, such as behind or in front of text. Your image will appear in a borderless container.

CD-R will not eject. Is there another way to eject besides the eject button?

I inserted an old CD-R, which would not read and will not eject. Is there another way to eject a disc?

You could always try the old Terminal trick...
drutil eject
Don't know if it will work, but it may be worth a try.

I do not accept the permissions. Is there another way?

I am one of those people who will not allow intrusions into personal information (will not accept permissions). Is there another way to download Firefox for Android other than through Google Play?

Please note that that file does not have an updater. We generally point users to the Aurora build of Firefox for Android as it has a self updater. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

Would like to upgrade to Acrobat 11 Pro but do not want a subscription or to have it on the Cloud. Is there another way to purchase an upgrade

I am currently using Acrobat Pro 9 and would like to upgrade to Acrobat 11 Pro. I do NOT want a subscription or do I want my software on the Cloud. Is there a way to purchase Acorbat 11 Pro as a full upgrade?

You can, but Adobe is doing its best to hide it, it seems... To do so go here: PDF creator, edit PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI subscription
Click the yellow "Buy" button on the right, under Acrobat XI Pro. Now, under the "I want to buy" drop-down, select "Upgrade".
Then select the product you currently own, the OS, etc., and continue with the purchase process through the cart.
This will give you a full, not time-based, license of Acrobat XI Pro.

I have a new iMac i want to install adobe photoshop elements 10, I only have the DVDs. Is there another way of installing this software?

I have just bought the latest 27 inch imac. I tried to install my adobe photoshop elements 10 dvd and found no drive. Is there any other way to install this software onto the computer? It is already installed on my macbook pro, is there an option to transfer the files?

No I meant to "borrow" the other Mac's optical drive, with the new Mac as the Target. cornelius puts it succinctly here, except we're not talking about a Mac with a broken drive. And you would select the Adobe DVD, not the "install disc."
I suggest that you get a firewire cable. Then boot the computer with the working optical drive into Firewire Target Disk Mode, startup the computer with the broken drive and hold down the Option key. Then select the install disk as boot and startup and proceed with installation.

Actually, I think cornelius's post isn't exactly what's required, but I think you get the idea.

I forgot my security questions and when i click the link that is supposed to reset it with an email i never get an email. Is there another way or anything i might be doing wrong to reset it?

help

You've tried clicking the link again ? If you aren't receiving the email (you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on it ?) then you can contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Just downloaded Photos - replacing iPhoto it appears all my projects are now stored on iCloud because there is the image of a cloud on each one. I don't want anything of mine on the cloud. Is there no way to keep everything on my computer

All my Albums have a Cloud icon on them. I want to store all photos on my computer
I'm not worried about saving space Do I have no choice about storage?

You don't have to have your photos in iCloud. In Photo's iCloud preference pane make sure ALL checkboxes are unchecked.

Is quicktime the best, or is there another way?

I was wondering is quicktime really the best way to import movies, cause it seems to take forever. I use mediafork and it puts the files into a quicktime format, so is there something better and faster out there, or is what i'm using now decent.

Although that thread is about PowerBook, the info there will apply for you, too.
If you have specific questions after that, post in iSight as Tom suggests, and we will help there.
