My trackpad highlights everything when I drag over my desktop can anyone help?
My trackpad highlights everything on the desktop what can i do
It suggests that your trackpad may be 'stuck' in the down position. Perhaps there is debris that is keeping it down. Inspect carefully and open the MBP if necessary. If no success, bring it to the Apple store genius bar and have one of the technicians have a 'go' at it.
Ciao.

My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?
If you log into Icloud.com, are all your contacts correct there? If the answer is Yes, I would then turn contacts OFF on your phone, and then turn them back on. Do not merge, but replace with Icloud content.
This is usually the quickest way to edit a bunch of contacts, through the web interface. -
Bought a new iPad 2 and iTunes only includes Movies and Music tabs at the bottom of the screen, ie no TV Shows. If I search on the Store, say for Homeland I get albums, podcasts, etc everything but the actual TV show. Can anyone help.
TV Shows are not available in certain countries.

HT201272 the app store app crashes/closes when i try doing a search. can anyone help?
the app store app crashes/closes when i try doing a search. can anyone help with this?
Mines been doing it for at least 6 months.Support had me do a reset and when that didnt work,they convinced me to update to version 11.That was a waste of time... Even if I open the App Store with nothing but basic utilitys loaded on my iPad,the App Store closes/crashes for no "Obvious" reason.However internal diagnostics show the cause is that the App Store is overloading the iPads processor.I have tons of memory on my iPad (64GB) but apparently the newer versions of the iTunes App Store are overloading it, (Even in a stripped down state).
Solution? I have never gotten any helpfull answers from support in nearly 6 months.So, other than reverting to an even earler version of iTunes (Pre version 10.7 at least for me),or using something like the "Apple Sliced "App... Most of them are free,and have a few good features, but all that I've tried are are less usefull for doing App searches.
It was a real shock to me ,when support claimed it had never heard about this issue before.These forums would indicate differently.It seems really stupid to design a basic utility, that a fair number of customers wont be able to use, and recieve no warning before encouraging us to install it.. -
Since installing 7 I cannot get facetime and imessage to activate. I have taken all the steps that have been recommended in supportbut still nothing. I get a text of characters that mean nothing everytime i try. Please can anyone help?
Thank you!Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

3rd 4s since Aug '12. My battery dies by the second. Just unlocking it, brings the % down. Was @ Apple Sat & going back today. Haven't upgraded to the ios7. Apps are all closed, light is turned down...I've done & do it all. This is the "new" (refurbished) phone from Sat & I can't even use it because the battery dies simply by unlockng. SO OVER Apple. Make a flippin product that works...that's what we pay for !! Can anyone help ?
Hello,
If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
- close all apps by multitasking....
- do NOT keep the brightness to the max
Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language) -
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

I have a new Mac mini- changed from Windows XP. I have a peculiar problem. I use an Acer monitorwith the Mac which works fine when the Mac is 'un-sleeped'. But, if I have shutdown the Mac the Acer does not recognisethe start up - at least it shows nothing on screen. When I have shut down - nowknowing the problem, I use an old Samsung monitor to cope with the start up -it does so fine - and then put the Mac to 'sleep', then change monitors andrestart the Mac - the Acer is now fine. I am using the same cables for theSamsung and the Acer. The Acer had no problems with my old Windows system -from sleep or shut down. I really do not think there is anything wrong with theAcer - could it be some sort of recognition problem? Please can anyone assist.Donald Picton
I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

When will my Cabinet get upgraded, Can anyone help...
Hi work used to pay for my broadband, but I now need to get my own. My exchange was infinity enabled last month, but not my cabinet, I need to know when it is likely to be upgraded before committing to a provider. Can anyone out there find out if an upgrade is in the offering. Would be very much appreciated.
Details are
sg5 4qb
Exchange SMSTF (stotfold)
Status: excepting orders
Availability: Now
Cabinet number: P19
ThanksIf your phone service is provided by BT, enter it at:
http://www.bt.com/infinity
This will show when it is likely to be enabled.
The Openreach website confirms your exchange is enabled, but obviously (from what you've said) not your cabinet.
If you're not with BT, you could ask a neighbour who is with them to enter their phone number on the website above.
When it comes to providers, all the ISPs use the OpenReach network for super fast, fibre broadband, except for Virgin, who have their own.
Accordingly, if the check says not available in the near future, your only other option would be to see if Virgin provide a similar high speed link to your property.

This is a semi-new problem, ongoing for several months. I've purchased songs from iTunes before and they play just fine on my Nano when connected to an audio jack cable, but for some reason, anything downloaded in the last few months plays at an insanely low volume. Normally, if I hit the advance button on the Nano to skip to the next song I'll hear a split second of the song at normal volume, but that's it.
I've restored both the iPod and my iTunes (using a Dell laptop, Windows 7) multiple times but to no avail. The songs play fine in iTunes itself, but I've even noticed a decrease in volume when listening to the songs on headphones. I'm beyond frustrated with this as I can't find any support online in the Apple archives, and I can't listen to any of my new music without burning to disc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!I have, a couple different pairs, unfortunately, and still no change. TBH, the headphones don't bug me nearly as bad as the fact that I can't plug my iPod into a radio or speaker with an audio cable and hear my latest purchases. Drives me crazy that I can't listen to my tunes!

I keep getting an error when I try to open iTunes, can anyone help me pleas
This is the information I get in the Error window
Error Signature
AppName:itunes.exe
AppVer: 6.0.5.20
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 10001040
Reporting details:
This error includes: information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occurred; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your Digital Product ID, which could be used to identify your license; and the IP address of your computer.Offset: 10001040
an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message on launch citing that offset is almost invariably caused by a broken QuickTime. (itunes needs a fully functional QT in order to work properly.)
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly? or do you get an error message, or some other peculiar behavior, or find that it isn’t on your PC at all?
if you get an error message (or peculiar behavior, or find that it’s missing), the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.) -

And for a very practical reason from your point of view: using all caps looks like SHOUTING, and people will concentrate more on the SHOUTING than on answering your question. Some will just ignore you for this reason.
If updated drivers don't fix the problem, perhaps you can tell us what is the "PROBLEM WITH LIGHTROOM CC BRUSH WHEN THE GPU IS TURN ON" that you are having. -
Captivate 7 course does not track or bookmark when using Fire Fox browser. Can anyone help me???
We recently switched from using EI to Fire Fox. When we switched my Captivate 7 course is now not bookmarking or tracking in the LMS. Prior to the switch the course was working fine. Bookmarking and tracking as it should.
I only have Windows 7 handy to test...
I installed the bookmarklet from here: http://www.refworks.com/refworks/bookmarklet.asp
On a non-secure (HTTP) page, it worked as designed and populated a page with reference info. When I clicked import it took me to another page, I guess a login is needed to do that.
On a secure (HTTPS) page, it opened only a blank tab and triggered a mixed active content block in the secure page. To work around that, I edited the bookmarklet to this code:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:var%20wRWMain1=window.open('','RefWorksBookmark');d=document;i='AddToRWScript';if(d.getElementById(i))RWAddToRW1();else{s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src='//www.refworks''.''com/refworks/include/addtorw.asp';s.id=i;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);}void(0);</nowiki></pre>
(The change is removing the http: from src='http://...' so the script will be retrieved using whatever protocol the site is using.)
Then I reloaded the secure page and tried again. This time Firefox warned me the data was submitting to an insecure page, I OK'd that, and got the expected Web Page Info on refworks.com.
Can you get that far?
''Sorry, the bookmarklet is messed up because of the wiki syntax. I will re-post.'' -
My IQ500 has stopped recognising when a cd rom is inserted, can anyone help?

Am I wrong in thinking we can't do this now because the iPad has lost all power?
We've used the small amount of power left trying all the different answers suggested elsewhere on Apple Forum and Support where others have had the same problem with their iPhones & iPads.... (cleaning out fluff from socket with a pin... using alcohol cleaner to wipe muck from the charger plugs.... etc..)
With no power left on the iPad, we can't reset or recharge, so far as I know...
Will take it into the Bromley UK Apple Store (in the chaos that will be Good Friday shopping) and hope they can help... hopefully it's something as simple as a new charger...
Given similar problems others have had with their iPhone chargers, too, it does strike me as a serious flaw in Apple's usually brilliant design... oh how we miss Steve Jobs.... We shouldn't be paying the prices we do with this BASIC flaw in design of the charger socket... Apple surely know it wears out very quickly.... ?
Perhaps not...?
Any other answers will be very welcome... Thank you again, kindly, Mark -
Accidentally saved over a document - can anyone help?
The situation is this. I was typing in a long document (Microsoft Word) on my computer running Mac OS X 10.4.11. Somehow I must have selected the entire text of the file (40 pages) and hit the enter key because suddenly I looked at it and there was no text left.
Instead of hitting command-Z (what I should have done), I clicked to close the file, figuring it would ask me to save changes and I would choose "no" and revert to the saved version. Well, it must have autosaved the blank file, because it didn't ask me if I wanted to save changes, and when I reopened the file, you guessed it... still blank!
I remember from years ago when I had a PC that each time you saved a Word document, the computer saved a hidden version of the file, so you ended up with several dozen temporary files that you could find until you restarted the program or restarted your computer. Does my Mac have anything like that?
I just went in and changed my Microsoft Word options to automatically save a backup version... wish I had known about that option sooner! Any other suggestions? Help!!Try using an application such as [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. Both have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy.
It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
There is also this free tool which supposedly runs on OSX and does recovery of popular media and Office files. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download I know almost nothing about it and maybe it only runs on Intel machines.
