Pointer turned into a link hand, and I cannot click anything
I cannot seem to find the keyboard hotkey that will allow my cursor to become an arrow again. My dog stepped on my computer and it's permanently a hand pointer (link pointer). No idea how to fix it without a reboot - but I don't want to do that yet.
Thanks.
[I am using my work machine to type this]
I had three of these come to me in the past couple of days. All of the issues were pretty close to the same. One of them, the pointer lagged while trying to use it. The click would work. Another computer, the pointer would lag and the click did not work. I tried all of the above options and it would work, but only for awhile. I replaced all three of the computers track pads and it resolved the issue for all three.

I am getting frequent lock-ups and blue screens during boot up on my Mac Pro. The lock- ups occur sometimes during normal use and I cannot click anything or force quit. The cursor shows something is loading, but never stops. I have to use power button.

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first... -

My brand new iPhone 4 is quitting apps unexpectedly, turning into a black screen and then restoring to home page. Restarting procedures didn't correct problem. Shall I follow full resetting instructions?
Thanks for the straightforwardness roaminggnome - I wasn't sure if this problem qualified as deseving a reset. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't explain, your response remained undisclosed to me for a while, the next reply after yours took preference and I ended up doing as Meg St.Clair's susgested and initiated download, installation and syncing of Smartsync which is now taking ages to finish... If problem persists shall do the resetting and restoring.

I received and email from Apple Customer Support that my Id has been stolen and that I am to sign into the link provided and update by changing password. I am not certain that the email came from Apple.
It did not come from Apple. Do not click on the link and do not supply your password. It is a scam. You can report the phishing email to Apple here:
Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails
Once you have done so, delete it.

when I start my macbook it shows STARTUP DISK FULL, and I cannot do anything else, it doesnt let me get into the computer to delete any programs,,,, What should I do ?
Try starting in Safe mode which does not load all the software that is used in a regular boot. It also runs a disk check. After booting in safe mode transfer or trash stuff you don't really need so as to free up disk space. Be sure to hold the shift key down continously till a progress bar shows on the screen.

My ipod froze during facebook and now the screen han gone white and i cannot do anything.
- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?
this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.
