Whenever I try to open the application icon starts jumping and then disappears

Says it works with 10.7, problems with 10.8 though.
Reinstall the program and trash the Dock icon, then make a new one and see if that works.
Then Trash it's preference file and relaunch the program to create a new one
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
If not then run through this, could be a sign of something bigger

My macbook pro will not let me stay on a certain desktop.

I created multiple desktops and was able to put my open application into different desktops. For example, I had Safari open on one desktop and powerpoint on the second. However, when I switched over from my first desktop to the second it switch back to the first automatically without me doing anything. It will not let me stay on the second desktop. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD. It will play a music CD

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD or boot up from either TechTools Pro or DiskWarrior. I tried to just install these on the computer with the computer running and it will do the same. When pressing the C key to start from the disc, it still does not accept it. It will cycle several times then reject disc.
It will play a music CD.
OS 10.6.8
CD/DVD Player.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Fijim

Thanks for the reply!
I had set up an appointment at my local Apple store previously so they could reinstall Mavericks, so I just went in a little early, showed them the error message, and they determined that it just needed to be reformatted. I didn't have anything on there that I needed, since I hadn't accessed it for a few years, so we wiped the drive, reformatted and now I have my back-up.
I appreciate the suggestions

When buying on line my macbook pro will not let me go to the payment page of the web site

When purchasing goods over the internet my MacBook Pro will not allow me to go beyond the payment page therefore I am unable to complete my purchase. If I use a Windows operated PC in the same household I do not have this problem.
Are there any security settings on my MacBook preventing me going any further?

Your MBP will let you do everything. What you haven't told us is what browser, what prompt comes up when you select pay, and does this happen on every web site you buy stuff on.

MacBook Pro will not let me back up document to CD

On my MacBook Pro, I am trying to back up a document to CD. I am getting a message that says, "You do not have permission to load document to 'filename'. Make sure you have write access for this location". I did a repair permissions in Disk Utility, not sure why it will not let me. Any suggestions?

Hi kjgaraffa,
In order to save a file from an application to a CD, you need to first save the file to your MacBook's drive and then burn the resulting file to the CD. See this article for how to burn the CD -

Macbook Pro will not let me log on.

I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro. It is only 6 months old and it will not let me log onto my account. I would type in my password and it would freeze and go back to the log in page several times. How can I fix this? Also, it has been running slow and the spinning rainbow wheel pops up much for frequently now. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks

6 months old ?
See what Apple can do for you. Contact them.

New Macbook Pro will not let me login

I have a fairly new Macbook Pro. When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons. I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon. This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks. I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend. Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong? I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem. This seems to be an iOS problem.

Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

Mid 2007 Macbook Pro will not boot from windows 7 DVD

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on to my mid 2007 MBP. The DVD is valid, boots on a PC and I was able to load WIndows 7 into a VMWare fusion virtual machine on the very same system. I am convinced from those actions I have a good DVD and a good DVD drive.
What happens is the screen goes black and "1. 2. and Choose type of DVD boot:" appear. ( I may have the phrase slightly wrong) No matter what I type nothing happens. I've gone into the boot selecter and same thing happens if I select the DVD.

so you did not burn the DVD from ISO? that is what this usually is.
the error and yours being 2007 says you are trying 64-bit and your Mac does not support 64-bit versions it has 32-bit ROM (and likely cannot upgrade past Lion when 10.8 Mountain Lion comes out).
Windows 64 Bit Unsupported Macs
What you are seeing is an EFI boot menu "select CD 1 or 2" yes.
Select CD-ROM Boot Error Apple
