Oh, my click wheel does not click anymore.

Hi.
It appears the click wheel is stuck. I know the 5 R's, but is restoring the iPod going to unlock the locked click wheel?
Suggestions?

Okay, I'm still confused. Click-wheels are not supposed to rotate. They only sense your finger's rotation. Are you saying the wheel is not responding to your finger movements?
If so, I would try basic things like rebooting and switching Hold on and then off. You could also try restoring if that doesn't work, but honestly this is starting to sound like a hardware issue.

Click wheel does not appear to be working

My click wheel does not appear to be working. I can however, press "menu" & the center button at the same time to reset it. Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

Have you tried doing a RESTORE on the iPod when plugged in and showing up in iTunes?

Ipod click wheel does not work at all..

I gave a friend of mine my 4g photo. It worked for him for a few days and then stopped. He brought it back to me and I restored it twice back to factory settings. Still nothing. The other weird thing is when you cycle between hold and on, it starts the ipod like it is an on and off switch. The click wheel does not respond, and the hold thing is just weird. I just would like to know if this is a hardware problem, and if there is anything I can do to get it up and running again.. thanks...
Macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

hi muddy angel, recently i had a problem that sounds similar. my well cared and little used 40gb ipod didnt respond to the clickwheel -no reason that could be recognised. gravis in berlin, germans probably biggest apple dealer, checked the item. they told me it would be a rare, but well known very unlucky thing that clickwheels sometimes just give up their functions for unknown reasons. unfortunately my clickwheel did so, after the warrenty has run out a couple of weeks ago and as well annoying is the fact that a replacement of the clickwheel is horrible expensive. so, if you have the opportunity to have your ipod checked by a hardware pro - try it.

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

Mail window does not close anymore

When I press the red dot or type CMD-W, the mail window does not close anymore. It just stays open, everything else works as usual. Any ideas, how to close the window again?
TIA

Look at the bottom frame of the Mail window; it may display a small dot thingie in the middle of its bar, something like this -
If so, try clicking on that dot and dragging upward.
If that works, you should have both panes present again. You can adjust the size of the window as a whole by dragging the bottom-right corner (where the hash marks are).

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Ibooks does not open anymore in Safari?

Hi anyone is experiencing it?
I cannot open an iBook file anymore in Safari, the "open in iBooks" button does not appear anymore.

Hi ..
With Safari open look at the menu bar at the top of your screen.
if you see: Develop in between Bookmarks and Window, click Develop.
From the drop down menu you should see Disable Images.
If there's a ✔️ next to Disable Images, click there one time to remove the check mark.
Safari should load images for you on Facebook now.
In case you are not aware, Snow Leopard will not update beyond v10.6.8 which means you can't update Safari as well and you may encounter issues with images and other content not loading on Safari in the future.
You can upgrade to v10.9 Mavericks if your Mac meets the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
You can upgrade to v10.9 Mavericks at the App Store. Mavericks is free.
Read prior to upgrading > Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!

After updating Photoshop yesterday the program does not open anymore. Program does not respond

After uodating Phtoshop yesterday, it does not work anymore. Program does not respomd

Thanks for your help! I tried your suggestion but only switched off the firewall (although just swichting-off of the firewall may not help). This did not solve the problem.
But! I was able to solve it! A friend came up with the idea. It was a profile problem. Somehow, the profile information must be damaged (and he explained me, that this ocures sometimes when updating from firefox 3 to 5). I dont know what is going on there. However, after creating a new profile everything was alright and firefox 5 works now!
If firefox does not open and you want to create a new profile:
-right click on the firefox icon
-properties
-shortcuts
-check if the "target" is correct (the exe.file is at this place on your machine)
-if yes: add after the target: [space]-p
-apply and ok
-now start firefox, this will open the profile manager
-create a new profile
-apply
-open firefox again and it will work (at least in may case).
Hope this is a help for all who have the same problem. I am very happy now and looking forward to enjoy firefox 5.
Thanks a lot! And good luck for everybody trying to solve computer problems!

Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above.

[solved]firefox does not start anymore: (firefox:4358): Bonobo-WARNING

Hi All,
Firefox has always worked on the laptop of my girfrind, until yesterday. When I run firefox from the command line I get the following message, and firefox does not start.
ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$ firefox
(firefox:4358): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$
Versions:
ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$ firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org
$ uname -a
Linux laptop 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 30 19:57:05 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
When I move .mozilla, firefox starts without problem, so there must be something wrong with the information in ~/.mozilla:
$ mv .mozilla/ .mozilla-moved
ingeborg@laptop:~$ firefox
(firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
(firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
(firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
ingeborg@laptop:~$
Any Idea's how I can figure out what file is causing this problem in .mozilla?
What does code 4358 and 4852 from firefox mean?
Best regards,
Cedric

I have reproduced the problem:
1)Move (or remove) ~/.mozilla
2)goto this website : http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/farmville/
3)login with a valid facebook acount
4)Click install, and then click allow, install now, restart namoraka, restart, finish, and then click save and quit.
Now firefox does not start anymore.
Is it usefull when I make a tar file of .mozilla and post it here?
Best regards,

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7 and now internet does not work anymore, how to fix if???? Desperate

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7 and now internet does not work anymore, how to fix if???? Desperate

Try resetting your iPad:
Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

Every time the anouncement of 10 year Thunderbird appears; when i read one mail: Thunderbird "does not work anymore"

My thunderbirdbox contains 2 mailboxes; they appear together on the screen the same time.
I have this "construction" for several years without problems.
Now, with the 10year celebration of Tunderbird, when i open Thunderbird , every time there is the announcement + questioning if i can volunteer ( I whish I could....). The message covers a part of my second box....
When i want to read one of my mails, thunderbird stocks and above in the screen the message appears Thunderbird does not work anymore. There is a menu what i want to do and i choose : close the program. Afterwards i open Thunderbird again and i can do everything i want to do.... Strange it not it?

I've had the Mail app misbehave from time to time. Not so much lately though. But when Mail misbehaved I quit the mail app like I describe here. After that I reset my iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. Finally try the Mail app again.

Installed new version of Firefox, now scroll wheel does not work

Installed new version of Firefox, now my scroll wheel does not work. I need this fixed immediately or will be forced to abandon Firefox as my browser. Can anyone help? I saw some Q&A on this but no definite fix. Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Immediately after I installed

I have the same problem, plus more. I cannot click on a button, does no good. I have been using 3.01, would never upgrade; always had a problem since 3.5. Now I upgrade to 3.66 figuring the problems were over, wrong. No scroll wheel, no buttons, cannot close half the windows, cannot go to a bookmarked page. Did Microsoft take over Mozilla? If I wanted a junk browser, I would use IE. I want the Firefox that it used to be; stable, reliable. What happened? Only way I can get Firefox to work is in safe-mode.

Oh, my click wheel does not click anymore.
