My trackpad is not working good, it doesn't drag the files or folders. What can I do?

Does anybody have an idea what's going on?

Are you "pressing" it, or just "tapping" to drag?
Note that the latter will require you to enable Dragging in Accessibility settings.

I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords). What can I do?

I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords). What can I do?

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. You can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See also this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive. Otherwise, see below.
Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

Automator not working properly while setting comments and moving files to folders, how to proceed?

So, this is my workflow, i've converted it into a folder action and applied it to a folder called "Automator" in my desktop:
i've turned "show this action when the workflow runs" so I can see what is going wrong
here's what I get (each action happens to have a problem to it)
1) Get specified finder items
2/3) Filter / find finder items
those are there just to work for this simple porpouse: identify that i've dropped a pdf file in the "Automator" folder
I move the PDF
The workflows starts
4) Ask for a text
this would be a prompt for me to add a comment to go to the "Spotlight Comment" section when I click on "get info"
put instead I get this...
that's the directiory that the file is in!
so I type some random text that would go to the spotlight comment section
then click OK
5) Set Spotlight Comments for Finder Items
that's the actual action, it should have the text that i've inputted in the last step, but instead it has this:
(Text is the variable that i've setted up to be shown on the ask for text and set spotlight comment...)
so, I have to manually input the comments I want to be on the file
and click continue
6) Label Finder Items
That's the action where i'm suppose to choose the label color, so I do that and click continue
this should work, but the file doesn't change label at all
nothing happens.
7) Move Finder Items
It should move to the "untitled folder", but again, it doesn't.
and that's it.
It's a PDF file, but it's not recognized by the system as a PDF.
When it is recognized, if I move more than one PDF file, the workflow works for just one PDF, instead of working for all of them!
I would reeeeally appreciate any help
the whole point in this was for me not to buy Hazel, but I think I will end up buying it :/
thanks for any help anyone can give me!

hey red_menace, thanks veeeery much for your support, I really appreciate it
as you can notice, i'm new to the automator, i'm actually new to the whole software thing, I have no idea what I'm doing so I really appreciated your help, changed my life and made my day
BUT, it didn't work...
well, it did, partially
I still don't get any comments on the "Spotlight comments" area and when I convert the workflow to a folder action, it does not recognize the file!
here's my workflow:
here's what I did, step by step:
first I added find finder's items, that worked really well, but it labeled all the finders files that were in the folder AND subfolders (the ones that were suppose to already be labeled right)
then I removed the find finder's items and tried, worked well, but I hadn't checked the "ignore the input", so the comments weren't working
so then I ignored the input on the actions that didn't require an iput, so my workflow is the same as yours now… and It's not working.
at first it worked for only 1 pdf, but no comments
then it worked for 50% of the pdfs, with comments
then it stopped working at all.
added the find finders items
worked while testing with one
saved
tried with 7 at the same time
worked… but didn't get any spotlight comments
went back on automator
checked "show this action when the workflow runs" for the spotlight comments action
added the variable as an answer on the "ask for text"
the variable ran as expected, I had the same input I've inputed as an answer for the "ask for text" on the "spotlight comments" action, label went okay and stuff, but i did not get any spotlight comment on the spotlight comment section!!
went back on automator and checked out the "append to existing comments" on "set spotlight comments for finder items"
and still didn't get any comments on the files!
btw, I went back on the automator and removed the find finder items
then tried again with only one file, dropping it in the application. it worked, but I still didn't get any spotlight comments!!
I also tried deleting the ask for text and tried just
but it did not work
I also converted the workflow that working for all expect the comments to a folder action, and it DID NOT recognize the pdf I dropped in the folder, what do I do?!

CFIMAGE not working when there is a . in the file path?

I’m trying to use CFIMAGE for the first time and running into an issue. I am guess it is because my path has a period in it but I am not sure and I am not sure how to get around it if that is indeed the problem.
I’m using ExpandPath to get the directory path but I have tried it other way with the same result. The path is
C:\Websites\mywebsite.com\www\images
I’m just trying to take a file in the C:\Websites\mywebsite.com\www\images\temp directory and resize it then rename it to the memberid with 300 on the end and save it to this directory C:\Websites\mywebsite.com\www\images\members
        <cfimage
        action = "resize"
        height = ""
        source = "#ExpandPath("..\images")#\temp\#TempFileName#"
        width = "300"
        optional
        destination = "#ExpandPath("..\images")#\members\"
        name = "#ARGUMENTS.MemberID#300"
        format = "jpg"
        overwrite = "yes">
I keep getting the folowing error.
The com\www\images\members\ image format is not supported on this operating system.
Any ideas?

was the fact that I ahd both destination and name being used
at the same time.
Using both "destination" and "name" works fine for me on windows. Though as I said, it is usually more common to use one or the other (not both).
all I did was copy and paste
from Adobe's example.
Given the fact that your code contained the word "optional", you may have inadvertently copied a usage/syntax description rather an actual code example. Most of the descriptions contain the word "optional" to separate the mandatory and optional attributes. They are just descriptions not working code. Look for the actual code examples further down in the page (usually in a mono-font like courier).

My bookmarks have disappeared and the 'restore' process is not working - Firefox is 'unable to load the file' I selected as the backup file.

Yesterday, I was unable to access Firefox at all and had to use another browser. Today, Firefox is back but all my bookmarks seem to have disappeared. I followed the procedure for restoring bookmarks from a backup file. I selected the file to back up from, but I received an error message saying that Firefox could not access that file.

If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

Are the charger nd cable original Apple parts or third-party? There have been a lot of problems ith third party cables and chargers since iOS 7 - checks for compatibility with Apple specs.
Try another charger and cable to see if that makes a difference.

My iPhone 4 will only work when it's plugged into the wall charger. What can I do ?

Please help.

Hello DaShiaa,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone would not power on unless plugged in. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Mac mini hard drive crashed. The ecovery drive only offers to reinstall mavericks on the recovery drive. Doesn't see the hard drive. What can I do?

Hi, I have a mid-2011 with Mavericks installed. It crashed. I can boot into recovery mode. And it shows me the name of the hard drive and the recovery partition. When I boot back to the hard drive, it gives the grey screen and a long progress bar. WHen the progress bar eventually fills up, the computer just shuts down. In recovery mode, Disk Utility says the hard disk cannot be repaired.
But when I try to re-install Mavericks from the Recovery Partition, it only shows the recovery partition as the destination, not the rest of the computer.
Not sure what to do.
Thanks if anyone has any advice.
J

Thank you very much for the reply.
Indeed, Disk Utility can't even erase and reformat the drive. It's toast.
This is very disappointing. Second Mac Mini I've had go out this year. First seems to be a logic board issue. Now the hard drive on the newer machine.
At least I was able to use Disk Drill to get photos and other important files off the Mini. I had a Time Capsule, but last year, it too died (just a few months out of warranty).
One further question, if you don't mind. If I'm just going to replace the HD on the mini, I'm not sure why one would do this step that you suggested: "get a new HD, put it in an enclosure or use another method that allows the HD to be connect to the Min. Then boot to the recovery partition and install Mavericks on the new HD."
Also, maybe I can replace the drive on the mini myself. Maybe get an SSD for it? They seem more reliable.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer me.
