Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") and which version of OS X are you running?
You may want to try resetting your SMC -> Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
If no joy there, call back with th requested information.

My wireless mouse for imac keeps loosing connection. Started after I was having truoble with computor not waking up and I put the setting to "never sleep". Any suggestions?

If it's an Apple mouse, make it "Favorite" in Bluetooth preferences.
If it's not, the same thing might help, too, but if the problem continues it could be a driver issue (possible incompatibility with your OS X version).

Lion and Mtn Lion don't come on disks (the USB flash, AFAIK, is no longer available). You could boot into the recovery mode and reinstall. Details in Recovery and About Lion Recovery. Also, see the Internet Recovery.

I bought an ipad mini from John Lewis in February. On Saturday the ipad suddenly stopped working. I tried charging it but all it done was go to the start up apple page (black screen with white apple) then shut down and constantly repeat this process.

I took it back to John Lewis today to get fixed as its still under warranty. Because there was scratches on the back of it.... Which is hard to avoid with the slate back!!! I got told apple will probably not fix it as it looks as if I've done it! I couldn't believe it!! If I honestly dropped it that bad to have caused a technical fault inside I would of smashed the screen as the same time!! Absolutely ridiculous as I know it isn't through any fault of my own.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Flash, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Since Flash .swf is not supported in iOS. I wanted to make a simple photo slide show with high quality JPEGs. How can I do this?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Apple iPhone 5 Flashing with apple logo and load bar and apps working

flickering, with apple logo and load bar and apps in that background that all work while screen flickering, had to restore my phone to get to stop flashing and eliminate the load bar.

Hello missyfromsouthport,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Additional Information
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

MacBook Pro won't start. Apple Logo then Circle with bar across

Problems started yesterday. I noticed that my MacBook Pro was running really slow. Every time I clicked on something, it took for ever. Today, it seemed fine until about an hour ago when it started running slow again.
I decided to check Disk First Aid, but the computer froze before I was even able to access the contents of the Utilities folder.
I tried to restart, but the computer just seemed to freeze.
I reset the PRAM, then restarted: it got to the Apple Logo, then a circle with a bar across it. Doesn't bode well and I'm thinking this means it can't access the disk?
I have ProSoft Data Rescue, and decided to boot from the CD, but couldn't even get the CD in there. Can't remember if there is a CD in the MacBook Pro?
I did a quick search through the help forum, and did a restart by holding down the V key. Here is what I get:
loading kernel cache file ..... Read error )x7
Loading 'mach kernel'
Could not open file "mach kernel"
Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel" (0x9)
whew. does not feel good right now. like I said, I've using my MacBook, have an ethernet cable, and ProSoft DataRescue, but I'm not sure which direction to go.
Help!!!

Update:
This morning, the computer started up. Amazing. Amazingly slow, but it started.
I decided it was best to try and save docs, so I put in a dvd, moved some files in there, tried to burn - mind you, this took about 1/2 an hours because it was SO slow - went out and watered the garden, came back and... the burn was unsuccessful. Apparently there were some errors with docs.
At this point, I decided to try and use the Data Rescue disc, but now the burn disc wouldn't come out. It was a "burn folder" and the disc was nowhere to be seen. Maybe I messed up something while trying to burn, I don't know. Anyway, I tried to restart, hoping this would get the dvd out, but the shutdown took forever that I finally just forced quit.
Please help!

Apple TV on tv with receiver - not working

Hi...are there any tricks to setting this up? Tried hdmi from Apple TV into receiver....worked for 1 day, then "no signal " (on ANY input/HDMI tv port) - by the way, I got a HULU 3 for Xmas and the exact same thing happened. Only worked for 1 day...then "no signal" (I was happy to return it as I wanted AppleTV anyway but didn't expect the exact same problem!). Then I tried connecting AppleTV directly into the TV, and got the Apple TV picture/menu screens but no sound. Has anyone else had this issue?? (FYI I gave a Vizio tv and Pioneer receiver if that matters!). Thanks in advance!!!!

The Apple TV will work fine with a receiver providing they are compatible and connected correctly. It seems as though your receiver may have an issue being the middleman for video, just as Brian suggests.
When you connect directly to the TV (with HDMI), how did you connect to the receiver. In most cases you can't send digital audio through a TV to a receiver and instead should connect the optical output from the Apple TV to your receiver.

Flash with AS3 not loading properly in browser on mac

I am having a strange problem. I have a flash swf file that has AS3. It works fine on all MACs and PCs with client, except I have found one client MAC that displays the swf file as if the AS3 did not run to hide the layers. It loads the swf file, but it looks like it does when I open the .fla file in Flash to work on it. I can't figure it out. I have reinstalled Flash to latest version, I reinstalled both Safari and Firefox. But still in both browsers on this particular MAC the swf file is not working.
Can anyone think of what could be wrong?
Below is the link to the file which may look fine to anyone that goes to it.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I feel like it is something simple with the Flash player or something.

Hi Doghousejim, Thanks for the only reply so far, but please read the post again. I think I answered the questions there. If you can think of anything let me know.

Apple Universal Doc comes with iPhone, not iPhone 3G adapter??

Adapters for the iPhone 3G are sold separately (for those with an older universal doc I would have thought). But the list of five included adapters only shows the original iPhone not the 3G.
I'm considering the universal doc instead of the 3G only dock as it looks to have a bit larger base and thus might be more stable (which is one complaint some have had about the iPhone only docks). So I'm wondering if its only that the Apple Store description has not been updated, or if it really does not come wtih a 3G adapter.

You are correct. The Universal Dock comes with adapters, but not the 3G adapters. The 3G adapters for the Universal Dock come in a package of three for $9. My Universal Dock is stable, but I can't compare it with the 3G dock. I bought the Universal Dock for a couple of reasons. One, I figure that I'll end up buying another generation something that needs to be docked. Two, I wanted a dock that not only could connect to my hdtv in my kitchen (via Component Cablel), be chargeable there (once I buy a surge protector and extension cord), but also has a remote--which comes with the Universal Dock. This little remote is handy when my hands are a little greasy or if I want to advance in a playlist without getting up and touching my 3G. The menu button on the remote doesn't do anything. I carry the iphone 3G from room to room, in the Universal Dock. I love this Dock.

Apple MAIL e-mail with attachment not arriving in GMail accounts

Serious problem...
If I send an e-mail FROM my mac account TO a GMail account...
... No attachment: E-mail arrives
... With attachment: E-MAIL DOES NOT ARRIVE
I've tested this from my MAIL account to our principal on our school's GMail account.
I've tested this from my MAIL account to my own GMail account.
Repeatedly: if my MAIL-generated e-mail includes an attachement, it DOES NOT ARRIVE in GMail acocunts.
This is a serious problem...
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Cat
PS Just did an experiment: sent a MAIL-generated e-mail with attachment to my GMail account -- e-mail arrived, but had been stripped of attachment. Immediately sent another MAIL e-mail with two small attachments -- it never arrived in my GMail account but the cc arrived immediately in my MAIL account with both attachments intact.

I too am experiencing this behavior, however, for some reason that I do not know, the attachments appear ok one day and then they appear embedded. This is becoming detrimental to my work!
Is anyone looking into this at Apple?

use with the same e-mail account (IMAP), the original
message shows the attachment correctly, but in the
forwarded message it appears undecoded in the message
body (see above).
I searched the forum and found similar issues, but
not exactly what happens here. Also, no solutions
provided helped me to solve this problem. Any
ideas?

Apple Mail Acting Funky with Gmail, Not Updating

I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air and Apple Mail 7.1. I'm up to date on all updates.
It seems Mavericks and Gmail are not playing well together and my Gmail is not loading or updating consistently. I can force it to update using the following steps:
Open Mail
File > Close
File > New Viewer Window
Unfortunately this process needs to be repeated to manually update Gmail. Any advice?

Apple: Your Mac Mail 7.1 on Mavericks 10.9.1 is terrible.
it is slow.
It hangs up in the IMAP push and pull with servers like G-Mail.
It dupicates addresses.
It can't handline large amounts of IMAP messages (I have over 50,000 emails) without confusing mailboxes.
When is the next update? Lacking the next significant update, who are your competitiors who have competent programs?
Additionally you need to force quit the process thought activity monitor to shut down about 20% of the time.
Frustrated.

Is there a way I can pay apple for an app with cash not credit card?

Is there?

Yes. Take the cash to a retailer and buy an iTunes gift card. They are pretty easy to find.
Once you redeem the card, you will have a credit balance in your account that you can use for purchases.
