My track pad keeps getting disconnected. A reconnect only works a short time. Disconnecting the batteries works for a longer time. What is going on?

Odd thing about batteries, tombird, whenever you turn off the mouse or trackpad or disconnect it, the battery % reading on the monitor rises. Sometimes even if you do it for just a few minutes. I would say your situation is normal.
BTW, rechargeables appear to be more susceptible to this than regular batteries.
If Barry's suggestion doesn't help (it should do), switch off, thoroughly clean out the battery compartment and the contacts, put in a pair of new, good quality batteries (Apple, Duracell or Energiser) and try again.

It takes a long time to open up documents on my Imac. I get the multicolor circle for a long time. I have 27 In Mid 2010 3.2 ghz Intel core I3 with 16 gb memory.

I'm in cycle mode, and 'merge' is clicked in preferences. However, when I record, my previous track data keeps getting overwritten. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Interestingly, I can still see the data in the region.

Sulapeace,
for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them?

My track pad keeps going out

For some reason my track pad keeps going out. The mouse move but when I click to open or close something it does nothing. I have to then turn the computer off and let it set for awhile then when I come back it is working. Has anyone had this issue. How can I fix this or do I need to take it into a Apple Store.

It is better to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
Best.

Both my I-Pad and mini I-Pad keep getting dropped off what ever website they are on and end up on the homescreen. This happens randomly and often. What is happening?

HT1338 bluetooth keyboard and track pad keep dropping out

For the last couple of weeks my bluetooth keyboard and track pad keep dropping out on a new mini mac, I have tried reinstalling both with no luckthis combined with the new ipad 3g problems is making me think twice about apple. RIP Steve.

Make sure there is nothing that could cause interference between your computer and the bluetooth devices. This could include cordless phones, extra antennaes, satellite receivers etc.
I would also go with Barry's advice as well.

HT2534 I keep getting "security code invalid" on a card that has been on my acct for over a year.

I keep getting invalid security code on a card that has been on my account for months. I've been making purchases often with no problems. Now I can't even download updates. I've tried removing the card, but this also has been proving very difficult to do. Please help me. I know others have had this problem in the past, but still haven't found a resolution. Thank you apple savvy peeps!!

Log onto iTunes on your computer, then update ur current credit card info with spaces inbetween the 4 sets of numbers then put in ur exp date and security code and all that info. im not guaranteeing this will work but it did for me.

I keep getting error messages that a script "may have stoped responding", The script in question is "contentAreaUtils.js".

I just updated to FireFox v3.6.8, after using v3.5 successfully for many months. With the new version I keep getting error messages that a script "may have stopped responding", The script in question is "contentAreaUtils.js". My OS is Win2k SP4, with 253,424 KB RAM.
Is there a known fix. If not, is there an easy way to revert to FireFox v3.5 ?

Attached is an image of the error message.

I keep getting this message when I try to open FCP X. "The storage location 'brianmassman1' on this computer is already in use by "brianmassman1" on "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7". To access the location, quit Final Cut Pro on "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7" or

I have no idea what this means. Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7." I don't even know what computer that is.
I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed. But it's not running.

Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this?

If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
