Now impossible to insert the cursor by clicking in one paragraph. I am able to 'find' the cursor by going to another paragraph, then using the arrows to position the cursor in this rogue paragraph.
I use Pages version 4.0.5.
My software is all up to date, 10.6.8 version of OS.
The particular document with the problem is 255 pages and currently at 125,000+ words. One area of a paragraph seems to be at fault and clicking within it has no effect. No cursor appears, no editing is possible and no other input is possible for that part of document.
I can work round this by going to another paragraph, clicking there when the cursor appears, then using the arrows to get the cursor in to position in this 'rogue' paragraph.
I am fairly new to Mac, only having bought this machine at the end of last year but have used it everyday since then. I did have problems with an image editing program supplied with a new Pentax camera but I have stopped using that program after taking the laptop to Apple tech in Sheffield UK who said the laptop was OK but the program was VERY slow and they could see when checking forums that this program was causing problems for other Mac users.
That was about three months ago, so the laptop was deemed to have a clean bill of health then.
I am curious and disappointed more than anything, as I can work around the problem at the moment.
What might be going wrong, how can I correct it, if at all, and should I be worried that there might be a more significant problem developing?

At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none lightening fitting that I want.
I wonder if this comment on the Amazon site is the answer to my problems?
PLEASE NOTE: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening
If that is the case then I am stuck with the Griffin one or just use the original.
Thanks for your observations guys -

i rebuilt my itunes from my backup discs a couple of years ago. i lost the data again, now itunes sees the discs as a device, it lists all the songs and artists but there is not an option to rebuild again. i have over 19,000 songs from multiple sources so re copying from the originals is not an option. my ipod is fine, if i could use that to rebuild life would be so much easier. Any thoughts?
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information -
I dunno the old apple id too so am not able to install the i life'11. Will this problem be solved by installing a fresh OS or will it be of no use. And i dunno the condition of the macbook either....if it's stolen or pawned..:( Please help
If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.

Macbook pro locked impossible to reinstall the system
Hi guys. I have a big problem with my macbook pro bought in september 2009. Recently I have uninstalled the system in order to make it run better : big mistake. Now, when I insert the install dvdand push the option key to reinstall the system, the computer is showing a locked padlock with a place to put a password. I have tried all my password even my apple ID one, thinking that may from icloud but it doesn't work. Help me please....
No that sounds like a EFI boot password. Try holding down the C key (No Caps) to boot directly from the DVD drive.
If it is a EFI boot password and you have no idea how it got there your only option is to take to an Apple store and see if they can remove it. -
Help me to sort out the problem in this Simple Client - Server problem
Hi all,
I have just started Network programming in java . I tried to write simple Client and Server program which follows
MyServer :
package connection;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
public class MyServer {
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
String ss ="";
try {
ServerSocket sockServer = new ServerSocket(6000);
Socket clientLink = sockServer.accept();
System.out.println("Connection Established");
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(clientLink.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufReader = new BufferedReader(isr);
System.out.println("buf "+bufReader.readLine());
try {
while ((ss=bufReader.readLine())!=null) {
ss+=ss;
System.out.println("client message "+ss);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("while reading");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Can't able to connect");
e.printStackTrace();
}MyClient:
package connection;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;
public class MyClient {
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Socket client = new Socket("127.0.0.1",6000);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(client.getOutputStream());
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(osw);
pw.write("hello");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Failed to connect");
e.printStackTrace();
}I got this error message when I start my client program .
Error message :

Thanks in advance.System.out.println("buf "+bufReader.readLine());Here you are reading a line from the client and printing it.
try {
while ((ss=bufReader.readLine())!=null) {
ss+=ss;
}Here you are reading more lines from the client and adding it to itself then throwing it away next time around the loop.
System.out.println("client message "+ss);... so this can't print anything except 'null'.
pw.write("hello");Here you are printing one line to the server. So the server won't ever do anything in the readLine() loop above. Then you are exiting the client without closing the socket or its output stream so the server gets a 'connection reset'. -
Ipad has songs in the "not on this ipad" tab that I can't download
Hi,
I have an iPad 3 and I have noticed there are now 25 songs in the "Not on this iPad" tab in iTunes. I have selected the download option but they still remain.
The songs appear to be in my library and on my iPad so how do I get rid of them from this tab.
The only reason I can maybe see is where I have downloaded 2 albums by the same artist and the same song is on both albums, could this be the case?
Thanks,
Geoff.Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then you can import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If you want them streamed to your computer, you have to sign into your iCloud account and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html. However, you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud (even though they may be on your iPad). -
Is there a way I can delete my primary @me email address so that I can receive emails only via my "reserved" @icloud address. eg. delete "msjones@me" and receive emails via "msjones@icloud" only.The reason being, I receive a fair bit of spam to my @me address. Going forward I plan on using an alias for certain websites to minimise this problem.
You can't delete the address, but you can set up a Rule to move messages to that address to the Trash or another folder. Go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.
It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - even though in fact you haven't posted them in full; I've asked the hosts to remove them. -
I had a strange message on my Macbook Pro Desktop this morning saying"another Network is using your computer"? Help..

i buy a macbook air with my friend and i changed the apple id also.at first i can update the application but now its impossible to update the application.when i clock to update it shows the id of my fren andsomebody do you have idea to solve this problem.
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
