TS1440 Clicking sounds. No entry on start up. Slow. Error code 36. Finally question mark folder. I don't understand what's wrong with the thing I barely use it. Can you help?

Iv been having multiple issues with my mac. This comes as a surprise as I rarely use it.
Symptoms-
Clicking noises
Slow
Unresponsive
(Error code 36)
Question mark folder
I used single user mode to try and repair the disk through utilities but the option wasn't available. I then verified the disk and it came up with few error messages
-invalid leaf record count
-invalid directory item
-found corrupt and needs to be repaired
Unfortunately I don't have an instillation disk, I didn't get one when I bought the computer. I don't know what else to do.

If the Mac is running v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion ..
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
From there you can repair the startup disk.

What's wrong with the new version of Itunes....HELP!

I tried to install the ipod software for my new Nano - I got to the point of regeristring my ipod - and then the program bombed. I then tried to update Itunes - the installation vould not be completed...Message: The installation was interupted before completeing - the system was not modified and try back later. The main issue is that now I have no access to Itunes. The installation or lack there of removed the old version. I have read all of the help topics - I am at a totally loss. And, I can't get to my library....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

umm my music is synced depending on how i want it.. so right now I have it set up by artist, and alphabetically.
sort your library the way you want it, then sync.

I copied my bookmarks from Favorites folder on old computer and pasted them into the same folder, same drive, and they do not appear in the Bookmarks pulldown inside Firefox. Can you help me?

I copied them to a new computer (not clear from my question).

Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder.<br />
Firefox stores the bookmarks in the Firefox Profile Folder

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
If you no longer have access to that old computer then you can try to import the IE favorites or export the IE favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.

Upgrading to firefox 5 and updating my plug-ins helped a bit. Frog is less 'sticky' now, but it's not solved the problem. Java needs to be up to speed or the frog goes into stasis....

That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

HT1338 I'm trying to attach my MacBook Pro to an overhead projector and can't get it to work. If I go to System Prefs/Displays, I see the box on the screen. But when I collapse the Prefs the desktop is not seen. Can you help?

I'm trying to get an overhead projector to identify my macbookpro. If I go to Prefs and select screens that dialogue box comes up on screen. So I know there's nothing wrong with the VGA cable. But when the screen box is collapsed nothing happens. My computer is not recognized by the projector. Can anyone help?
On a PC I used to hit "control F5. But I don't believe that works on a MacBook. Any suggestions?

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

Subject: Can you help me with a problem I'm having with adobe 9.4?
I have seen this same problem a number of times in this forum; it seems to happen only on Vista and Windows 7.
It also seems to happen only to people who are not very experienced computer users, and these things are very difficult to diagnose via forum posts.
I have in the past always ended up recommending to uninstall Adobe Reader, and find an alternate PDF Reader.

I need help with my wife's Iphone 4 upgrade, can you help me?

I just talked my wife into upgrading her iphone 4, but it says something is wrong after downloading, can you help me??

It is almost impossible to help you as you have provided no information about your issue.
If you were to explain the issue, then maybe someone could help.

I can't use my itunes money cause i can't remember the answer they ask me, please can you help me?

Because i got my new iphone5S i can't use my i Tunes money cause they ask questions that i don't remember, please can you help me?

Hello Mario,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your security questions. I found an article with some useful information if you cannot remember the answers to your security questions:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
You can find the full article here:

If you continue to have issues, please contact our Account Security Team as outlined in this article:
