  • MacBook Pro can connect via Airport but not iPhone or iBook G4.

    Anyone have any ideas? My Macbook Pro can connect to my Airport (v.7.3.1, 802.11n) but not my iPhone or iBook or a Windows Computer or WiFi Blackberry.
    The connection is strong and detectable by the ibook but "unable to connect".
    Somethings up with the settings but not sure what.
    Any ideas?
    HELP!
    thanks

    Secured or unsecured the only wireless connection that works is my MacBookPro.
    I get the message "unable to join network..." The connection is very strong.

    No.
    Power Adapter/ cord wattage
    “Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.”

  • Could not click on anything in Recovery disk and log in screen, but I can move the cursor around. Using 10.8, not sure what's wrong, anyone have an idea?

    So the problem is, I cannot click on anything in the Recovery Disk and Log in screens (to enter your password), but I can move the cursor. My trackpad works fine everywhere else except for these screens. If I connect a USB mouse, I am able to click on things in these screens.
    NOTE: I am not just tapping, I am really clicking on the trackpad.
    I recall some time ago when this wasn't happening, not sure if that was when I was on Leopard. I sort of suspect 10.8.x, but I'm not too sure.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Would appreciate help. Thanks!

    Try an SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

  • After Yosemite Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow Click

    Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow click after a period of usage. After Forced reboot track pad works fine for a few hours. This started within hours of installing Yosemite. Help, I am afraid I will lose a document during reboot. So far I have been lucky and have not lost data.
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011)  SSD

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Any change on reboot?

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

    I'm keen to know if you get a response to this.  I've been running Elements 12 for a year now, and suddenly my Editor is not working.  I'm running Windows 8.1 and just get a message that says "The Editor is not working".    Not very helpful.

  • I am having problems with my Magic Trackpad.  All I can do is move the cursor and single click.  I using the most current version of Lion.

    I am having problems with my Magic Trackpad.  All I can do is move the cursor and single click.  I using the most current version of Lion.

    In System Preferences > Trackpad > your preferences should look like this screenshot.  If they don't then some 3rd party driver is conflicting.  The most common conflict is USBoverdrive.

  • I got a new iPhone 5 and my itunes music will not sync properly. it will show up on the phone but it is light gray wording and they are not selected only a few songs work. The grayed out music just takes up space. Someone please help.

    My itunes music is grayed out and unplayable on my new iphone 5. only a few songs work and the rest just take up space. They will play correctly in my itunes on the computer but not the phone. Please help.

    I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this! However, I am sorry to hear you are going through this as well. Lucky for me I am upgrading to a 5s which will be sent to me on Wednesday. I did stumble upon an article with tips on how to downgrade back to iOS 7, but I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about doing that myself. Here's the article link if you want to give it a go:

  • My track pad stopped accepting clicks.  I can move the mouse but clicks will not register.  Help!!!

    My track pad stopped accepting clicks.  I can move the mouse/cursor although clicking will not register with computer.  Any suggesstions?  HELP!

    If you configure the track pad to accept a double-tap = mouse click - do you still have the problem?
    I had a similar problem with white MacBooks - the mouse button just wouldn't work anymore - got worn out or something. I think that may be why Apple went with the whole trackpad being the mouse button. I never use that though. I much prefer the double tap.

  • When scrolling bookmarks the cursor gets stuck on a bookmark and stays there even if I continue to move the cursor but does not happen if I slide to the subfolder.

    I am using a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 and using Firefox 3.6.10. When I scroll down my list of bookmarks the cursor will highlight a bookmark and although I continue to move the cursor the previously mentioned bookmark remains highlighted and the subfolder remains open. If I try to choose another bookmark, when I click the bookmarks disappear and I must reselect bookmarks again. The only way to select the bookmark I want is to carefully scroll down the edge of the bookmark folder an move the cursor into the bookmark. This does not occur when I get into a subfolder.

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

    You locate the file in the Finder(it's in the Documents item of the sidebar by default), drag it to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
