Updated to 10.5.1, now apple menu commands don't work

Hi, updated to 10.5.1, and now when I choose "About This Mac", "Restart", "Shutdown", or "Logout", I just get the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, and then nothing else happens. No dialogs, no restart... the only way I can restart is to either hold the power button down, or 'sudo reboot' from the command line.
Anyone else have this problem? any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ty

Try restarting your computer. also check activity monitor and sort by usage. See what is using the most.

Make sure you have the latest version of parrallels. Think older versions are not compatible.

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

kathieaross,
click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

HT4528 I pulled my iPhone out of the docking station/speakers and now the ring tones don't work. Anyone know a fix for this?

Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.

Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Do other sounds work?
Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them?

HT4623 I recently updated my 64 gig 4S to OS7, my apps don't work any more, the apps store won't work, I've tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no good. The phone is just a phone now

since updating my apps don't work anymore, the app store won't connect, I tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no go. The phone is just a phone now.

Try accessing the Store through the Music App first then use the other app.
You've already tried a Reset, Restore from Backup, Restore as New?

IMovie '11 clips now skipping/grainy and don't work?

As if I don't have enough problems with my startup disk being almost full, now a movie I have been working on has been ruined. Last week, I had the alert come up saying "Your startup disk is full", which I've ben having problems with lately (considering it claims that there is 120GB of "other" data using storage, which I have no idea what could be in there). Anyways, so I went about deleting video clips on my desktop which I figured would be saved into iMovie, and I could continue my project without worry. I was wrong. Apparently deleteing the video clips on your desktop, also destroys the same clips in iMovie. So, now I was faced with a problem. When trying to play the project, for almost every clip there would be a note "Source clip is missing" OR the clip would just be super grainy (to the point you can barely see the picture) and super laggy. For many of the clips, I still do have the source clip in my event library, but those too have the same issue of being grainy and laggy. I do have most of clips still because they were stored in my email however one had been taken on my own laptop. This is the one I have issues with because the one clip I need has dissappeared somewhere (I still have the other clips I need from my computer), I have the copy of the clip on both my desktop and in my events library but both are again, super grainy and laggy... Unusable. Is there anyway I can possible redownload/re-import that clip? If I can somehow convert it back to being the wuality it was, I would be all set.

Where can I go to get REAL SUPPORT for my apple products that don't work as adverstised?

I'm fed up with this mickey mouse pathetic attempt at users aimless trying to support other users. I paid a lot of money for these devices which don't work as advertised -- in particular iCLOUD. My time is MONEY and i've spent a lot of hours searching for support of this site and posting my issues and never once getting any feedback/solutions. I want real support, an Apple technician who can get down and solve these issues that i'm experiencing.
How do I get that? What number to do I call?
Incredibly disappointed by this "support community"... WEAK SAUCE

Horizontal Dropdown Menu Buttons DON'T WORK

Any suggestions please?!
I am a novice Flash Developer and I created a horizontal
drowndown menu in Flash with rollover submenus. The dropdown menu
has buttons with Behaviors assigned to "go to webpage". The
published .swf file works fine, links and all. It is only when I
place the menu inside a Dreamweaver DIV that exists over another
image DIV that the buttons don't work. The menu will drop down and
can be rolled over, but it is when I try to click on the buttons to
activate the links that nothing functions.
It is worth mentioning that the buttons have an assigned "Down"
state that doesn't activtate, so I know the buttons are incapable
of even being clicked on. The problem is within Dreamweaver,
not the flash movie menu. Perhaps I am overlooking a widely know
trick to making this work? Am I missing a simple line of HTML??
Anybody have any experience with this?
Greatly Appreciated

Hi,
May I please have the URL of the site and any specific pages you'd like me to take a look at?

Dropdown menu links don't work when on certain page of my site

Hi guys,
I've created a site that has a dropdown menu.
However, when you go to a certain page on the site on a mobile device (tested on iPhone), the drop down links don't work.
You can check out the page here - if you go to this page on an iPhone, the Facility and Capacity buttons have dropdowns but the links don't work...
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what the problem might be?
Thank you for any help and hope to hear from you.

Rotating Menu - Buttons don't work inside MC's

Hello,
This is my first post here and it would be great if I could
have your help to solve this little problem:
Flash CS3 | AS2 | Rotating Menu
I'm creating a small animation in which I have a clock-like
rotative menu.
I found the code for this in the internet and made some few
adjustments (mainly just took somethings I didn't needed out)
In my file I have 6 circles that are all movieclips that make
part of a circular menu that rotates everytime you click on one of
the circles. Those movieclips are not on the stage, only on the
library, and are being "pulled" into action by the actionscript.
I need those movieclips to act as menu buttons, so I made a
button inside each one of them.
The problem is that the buttons don't work. They don't do
what they are suppose to (load another movieclip). The solution
must be quite simple because it doesn't make sense not to work, but
I'm unable to get it...
In the original file they worked as buttons that linked to an
URL but I removed that because I didn't need it. Just need them to
act as normal buttons and play another MC...
Do you have any idea why this happens?
Does it have anything to do with the fact that the circle
movieclips that contain the buttons are not actually on the stage?!
The code I'm using in the buttons is rather simple:
on(release){
movie1.play();
I would appreciate your help on this!
Thank you,

Hi Odisey2,
I appreciate the time you took to try to help me!
I only have 1 frame in my stage, and its the one that
contains the actioscript code.
I also have on stage the MC i'm trying to make the button
play. The first frame of that MC is empty and has a stop, so that
its not visible at first.
Then I wanted that when you click the button (the onde that
is inside the MCs that are being "pulled" by the code I sampled) it
would play that MC on stage.
The code I'm using in the burron is pretty simple:
on(release){
movie1.play();
I've tried to put "_root" before, like this: "_root.movie1"
but it doesn't work as well.
Any other idea?
Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that the
circle movieclips that contain the buttons are not actually on the
stage?!
Thanks,

Program update and other items on the apple-menu causes crash!

Hi
I just got my iMac G5 rev A back from the apple repair guy. He said he had replaced the logic-board and the power supply unit with new ones. So my sleep-related issues are now gone.
But, when I try to start the "program update", or click "about this computer" the beachball appears and then nothing works anymore. All other applications seems to work, except one thing: the screens backlight goes to zero every time I reboot, so I have to adjust it to normal again.
Any ideas on what to do?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Update:
Well, I tried to run the disk utility to fix permissions, but around halfway through the computer freezes and doesn't respond to anything but holding the power button in for several seconds (or pulling the plug).
Deleting some of the preference files hasn't made any change (except resolving the backlight issue).
