Tap click dragging cancel now has an animation.. that lags...
enable tap to click, then double tap the desktop and drag as you would in leopard. this creates a shaded box. now tap the desktop again. cool a new animation. oh wait, it has a 1 second lag time...
were these done on purpose or accidental? i'm starting to wonder if SL was really ready to be released, or if apple was worried about windows 7 and rushed to release it before microsoft's new OS.
there are too many problems in SL for this to be a REAL release. so many complaints on driver problems, laggy animations, the OS actually slowing things down a bit, etc.
Hmm, looking at your system specs, I think I see why you're having lag problems.
Personally, I have a top of line MacBook 2.0 GHz Core Duo with 2 GB of RAM, and a 250 GB hard drive. Yes, it's over three years old, but I think your problem is that your computer isn't black polycarbonate. Mine is. Yours is aluminum. It probably needs to be taken to an Apple Store to get recycled.
No serious lagging here, and definitely not with the so-called animation of a fading selection box. If there is ever a slight stutter with Spaces or Exposé, it's usually only the first time it's used and it clears up afterwards, and that's more a matter of catching the system off guard when it sitting there thinking it was about to go to sleep. Spaces and Exposé seem to be doing a lot more now and yet without stuttering or jumping too quickly.
In fact, it seems like everything has gotten smoother and faster for me since the 10.6 upgrade. It even seems like my LCD screen has been replaced with something better. Kind of makes this Intel GMA 950 built-in graphics with 64 MB of shared memory seem quite nice after all. I feel like my computer has been replaced with a new model. But, obviously, not with a unibody model. Naaah nah nah naaah nah! :-p
Hope things smooth out for you. If they don't, I might consider a trade… Though, I'm kind of attached to this one now that it's gotten so much faster and smoother.
Oh! Hey! I just remembered something. Are you holding down the shift key? That can cause certain activities to move in slow motion, on purpose. Great for keynote demos, but I'm not sure why they left it in except maybe to show it off to PC users. Though, that doesn't seem to affect the fading selection box.
Oh, another tip: you don't have to wait for the selection box to fade before doing something else. It's not stopping you. Not that I can test that out myself, since my system is working so much better, but I'm guessing that it doesn't prevent you from doing something else.
Oh, but karma is probably going to get me on this one, and it likely won't wait for another lifetime. Yep, 10.6.1 is probably going to reverse the matter, and then you're computer will be fine and mine will screaming out for replacement. Scary. I guess I better enjoy it while I can. Heh heh heh.

I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?
Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons. If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen. At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
Anyway, I would delete the app and re-install. If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge. Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background. Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background. press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking. close all the apps down. exit then re-launch the app.
good luck. -

I have an I phone 4S and I usually back it up threw I Cloud but since my phone is pretty old and has been shutting off on me I decided to back it up in I tunes. I connected the phone and clicked Back Up Now. When it was done I picked up the phone and tried to open an app and discovered that all of my apps have been restored as if I had just down loaded them from the app store. So I lost all progress on them. Is there anything I can do to change it back? And I don't understand what I did wrong.
This means the iPhone has not been connected or synced with your computer since the passcode lock was enabled on the iPhone and too late now.

Trying to download iTunes 10.7 in Windows 7 64-bit. When I click the download now button, it immediately goes to the "Thank you for downloading" screen, but the file has not downloaded. Popups unblocked. Any thoughts? Thanks!
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
i remember once i added a addon which continues a web page of a forum if it has 10 pages automatically with out clicking it but now i cant find it?
Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time. -
When I click on "Download now",I go to a page that has no download buttons.
When I click on "Download now",I go to page with tips, etc, but no button to download Firefox? Is IE8 intentionally stopping me from getting another browser?Does anyone know how to get around this?
Hello Barodude.
If you are trying to download firefox, make sure you use the official site:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
After you click the download button, a page should appear saying "Your download should automatically begin in a few seconds, but if not, click here." As it says, the download should start after a few seconds, but you can click where it says "click here" to force it to start.
If it's still not working, try the FTP servers:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/
Go into ''win32'' if you're using Windows (''mac'' for Mac OS X and ''linux-i686'' for Linux) and select the language you want. It's the the big file, not the ''.asc'' file you want.
I hope this helps. -
I received a link to a iTune movie trailer in an email. I clicked on "watch now" and then "play". I was told I need to download Quick Time, but when I clicked on download, I was told that QT is built into Mac OSX. How do I get QT to work?
When I hit the play icon the little arrow thing goes all the way over to the end of the file and doesn't play at all. What gives?
Is this a minimum information puzzle? It is difficult to diagnose a problem long distance when you provide little or no information regarding what actions you are actually taking to export the data or which version of iPhoto you are using. Based on your latest description of how it doesn't work, my best guess is that you are exporting a single frame from your video clip rather than the "Original" file. This is easily checked by opening the file in QT and simply pressing the left/right arrow keys. If the file only contains a single frame, then your export work flow is at fault. Please select the "File > Original" (or similar) option in the export menu to export the entire file in whatever version of iPhoto you are using.. -
I was attempting to upload a video to face book and decided to cancel, now I can not get the quicktime icon with Facebook icon embedded to delete? what are steps to clear desktop?
A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!
I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question. -
ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore
The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
<key>allow-half-stars</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>
After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled? -
I cannot tap and drag to select text in Word
All of sudden, I cannot tap and drag to select text I want to move or edit in Word. Not sure what I did to make it stop working. Please advise....
"aimbdd" - Thanks very much for your feedback.... That feature you have verified simply disappears with the "new" Multi-touch Trackpad which was first introduced with the early-2008 MacBook Pro, and, which was also carried over from the iPhone...
The alternative is that you employ the "Mouse Button" or, in this case, the "Track Pad Button" to restore the feature...
"Will K." - So, the late-2008 MacBook Pro DOES have a button, which you need to "click".
When you say "Hold" you mean that you need to hold down that "button" ...
Now, if I understand it correctly, the top surface of the button IS the track pad. That's rather odd!!!
What happens if you release the button? Or, do you HAVE to hold the button down some how while you take the cursor to the end of your selection? If so, what would you hold it down with if the top surface of the button is the touch sensitive track pad????
In my opinion, the track pad BUTTON is redundant when you select the various tapping options for the track pad from the preferences, which was also possible on the Powerbook G4 ....
So, with the new MacBook Pro, which way are we going, forward or backward? -
Previous page navigation after on click of cancel button of a form in adf

Expected Result:
User should be navigated to the page that they were on. (i.e., Page 2)
Actual Result:
User is navigated to page 1 instead of page 2
i.e it is taking browser previous url.

<af:clientListener method="goBack" type="click"/>
</af:commandLink>
java script....
function goBack()
window.history.back()
