My mousepad and cursor or not responding?

I have had my MacBook Air for about 1/2 years and it has survived quiet a bit of rough treatment from my siblings.. And basically it has been beaten on (the keyboard has, the mousepad) and I'm not sure if that's why it isn't responding, because it has also has several liquids spilled onto it! >:( and so. Therefore the keyboard and keys are so sticky u can actually hear the stickiness from under the keyboard!

Liquids corrode electronic parts. That could be the problem.
May be, it is time for a new computer.
Best.

Startup had White Repeating Staircase and Cursor did not Respond

Hello there, very odd experience. I recently updated to Leopard and it's been alright but tonight when I turned on my laptop I received a white repeating staircase over a light blue background. Every other line was thicker than the other and this did not go away for at least 15 minutes when I freaked and restarted. An image of the cursor was fixed in the upper right hand corner but there was another cursor with a small rectangular grid attached to it that I tried to click with but the menus must not have been there (could only see white staircase thingie over light blue). The issue was resolved when I restarted. N.B., I did have my ProTools dongle attached and detached it before restarting. Is this a known issue and would it have had anything to do with the dongle?
Thanks much for any insight.

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Why is my cursor taking holidays and choosing to not respond to my mouse or mice as I have more than one that I can use and it refuses to respond for a period of time

Trackpad is paired but cursor does not respond

OS 10.7.5 on 2009 Mac Pro. My new trackpad shows 43% battery but the cursor does not respond. Also keeps losing pairing. Could this be a battery issue? Someone told me that regular AA batteries sometimes cause these problems and that I shoid use lithium rechargeables (which does not make sense to me). This must be either the batteries or a defective unit. Comments appreciated.

Here are a few notes I have put together about batteries.   If something helps you, fine, let us know.   If not, post back with anything you can add about your problem.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for a standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before requiring a recharge.    Apple may say more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you will always have charged batteries available.     Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
Both the above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.   Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly with rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ...
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew both batteries.
Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired.
Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

I have Win 7 64bit and the computer "not responding" often.

The event logs show that Bonjour is the biggest problem in system failures and the computer Not Responding. Is there a fix for Bonjour or is there a way to run itunes without it?
If itunes is not compatible for windows 7 Does apple have something else to use for media?

Hello AEC396
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting an errorabout missing drivers. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

My Apple TV wasn't working so I returned it. I kept the same remote from my previous Apple TV and it's not responding to it. What should I do?

Don't you have 2 Apple remotes now?
Either way, hold menu and down key together for 6 secs and that should fix it unless the remote is broken or battery is flat.

Safari do not open and ends up not responding

Hi,
Safari no longer works for me after a software update. Safari will not open and ends up not responding upon launch at which time I have to force quit.
I have gone through the Mac help forums without finding a suitable answer and I tried the following actions but unfortunately not one is working.
-I have tried to uninstall and install safari again (to uninstall the program I have deleted also all the cookies in preferences and library and application support);
-I have created a new user and safari does not work for the new user either.
It seems to me that the mac feels that a safari window is open but I cannot see it.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

A few things you can try (I see you have tried some of them already):
If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
¥ history.plist
¥ lastsession.plist
(Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
(Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
If Safari is getting very slow:
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

Coreaudiod and UserEventAgent both not responding

I noticed in Activity Monitor showing all process on a clean boot I get both coreaudiod and UserEventAgent both not responding. I though this might be something to do with sound but the funny thing is everything seems ok. Audio and video and the general running of the computer seems to be fine unless i had not looked in activity monitor i probably would not of noticed.
If i quit both processes they dont appear again in red not responding.
But if i start an app or play a sound ot video they both pop back up again as not responding yet the system functions as normal seemingly and sound and audio works fine.
Any Ideas. Sure seems a little strange.

OK fixed it after a bunch of research I found 2 plugins that can ause problems in the
go to :
Library\Audio\Plug-Ins folder
I had a folder called HAL which had a plugin for protools which i dont have anyways and i deleted it. Also there is a app called Hear which had a plugin i deleted as well. So basically if you are having similar issues check the various plug-ins in these folders and try removing them The Protools one is a known culprit as well as the Hear one.

Hi Mylenium,
My imac processor 2.66GHZ intel core i5
Memory 8G 1067MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
When I try to launch CS5 illustrator, sometime it is not responding. It also happen after I launched illustrator and I was just doing some basic design, change type and zoom in and out.
If I opened both CS5 illustrator and photoshop, while I was working on illustrator and when it start not responding, photoshop also become not responding and vice versa.
I hope this information is adequate for you and troubleshoot for me what's wrong with my mac.
Thanks
Mike

My Firefox won't quit and gives a "not responding" message after I use Google Mail. I have tried starting in "safe" mode and the problem still occurs.

I have an issue where Firefox wont' quit and gives a "not responding" message after I have been using Google Mail. It works fine when I am not using that program. I have tried Safe Mode and the problem still happens when I go to Google Mail, so it is not connected with add-ons, extensions, etc.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. 
Clear the Cache 
'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''
 and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy.''''' 
Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''. 
There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''. 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

AP has been crashing and has been "Not Responding"

I can't believe this! Ever since I chose to do the most recent update (2.1.3?), AP has been crashing and has been "Not Responding" and I almost Force Quit before it before it came back to life.
First I imported from an existing folder (using referenced) and I chose to "Move" the images.... well the images were copied NOT moved... So, I wanted to try it again with a different destination and see if I could get them moved and not copied....
I was importing a "Folder as a Project" (this time) and I chose to move the images (allowing duplicates to be present) to the newly defined location (less than 300 pics) and AP ended up crashing and now I see there are more than 9,000 images in that folder... Wow, what a royal MESS!!!!!!!
How can I undo this monstrosity mess that AP has created.....???????????????
I was very careful as I did this.... what could have caused this and how can I fix it??????
Help!
Robert

Okay, so not a popular thread....
Any thoughts???
I've been avoiding fixing the damage described above...
