Recent update and now I can't click on user to log in!

The weirdest thing. I accepted an Apple Update - unfortunately I didn't write down exatly what was in it, but I think there was a Java upgrade and a couple of other things.  The end result is that when it rebooted, my 2 users come up on the login screen, but I can't click on either one!  The cursor moves (either with a USB mosue or my bluetooth MagicPad) but when I position it over the user's name and click, nothing happens. Anyone have any idea what this is and how I fix it? I need to log in but my "mouse click" isn't working!
Mike

What about using the keyboard to type the first letter of the name, then hit return? Does that get you in?
If it does, be sure to run Disk Utility and REPAIR (or Verify if you can't repair).
Also, you have to eliminate a cabling problem, such as the mouse being pulled halfway out of its socket.

  • I download the latest update and now I can't find all my photos; where would they go?

    I download the latest update and now I can't find all my photos; where would they go?

    Photos taken by the iPhone, like any digital camera, should have been uploaded to your computer for safe keeping.  Certainly before a major operation like a software update that wipes your phone in the process of updating.  If they weren't, and they are not currently on your phone, then they're gone.  You can try restoring from a recent backup, but any photos taken between the last backup and the present time will be gone.

  • HT4623 Just tried to update my IPad 2 with this most recent update and now it is saying that I have to restore my Ipad...What happened?

    Tried updating my iPad2 with the most recent update and now it is saying that I have to connect to iTunes and restore my Ipad2, what happened? Did I lose all my stuff that I had on it?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • I accidentally unchecked "Tap to Click" on the Trackpad preferences and now I can't click on anything!

    I accidentally unchecked "Tap to Click" on the Trackpad preferences and now I can't click on anything!

    It happens to me ALL THE TIME. I'm getting pretty sick of this! It didn't start happening until maybe a month ago. I'm pretty fed up though!
    And NOW. This is great. Ever since installing iLife 09 my keyboard randomly stops working. Sometimes I can bring it back by closing the display and then opening it again.
    The crazy thing is that these issues are TOTALLY random. I've been on here for hours and nothing has gone wrong. Then out of no where...with no other applications run or doing ANYTHING I haven't been doing for hours...it all starts to go wrong. First it's tap-to-click in this pattern of working-not-working. Then it's the keyboard goes crazy.
    I'm doing a large backup of everything at the moment. Then I plan on running disk utility from the installer disks and see if that helps. If it doesn't I'm uninstalling iLife 09 to start with and after that i don't know what.
    I'm just REALLY tired of this!

  • HT1926 I tried to update my itune with the latest update and now I can't use itunes at all . All I get is MSVCR80.dll and then Error7 (windows error 126) what can I do ????

    Similar problem here.  iTunes11 notified me it was available.  However, auto-update failed.  So, I downloaded for manual update.  That failed with "permission" message.  I am administrator on this machine (WIN7).  I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue.  I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message.  So, I'm completely dead in the water.  Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

  • My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up.

    Thanks

    Try a force-restore:
    1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
    2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
    3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad.  Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
    4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

    Hi,
    Would you take a look at the "Selecting a file location" section in the following document?
    How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
    I suspect that you are looking at the Recent section.  Your can switch to Local (for the files & folders stored on your iPad/iPhone) or Document Cloud (for the files & folders stored in the Adobe Document Cloud, formerly Acrobat.com) to find your "lost" files.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you.
