When I use the Magic Mouse, it magically won't let my computer go to sleep

even if i turn it off and wait before I close the computer. anybody else seeing this? The fan's just spin and spin and the machine overheats and goes black and I have to hard power cycle.
grrrrrr.

Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.

HT5621 I have tried to changed my Apple ID and every time I try to use the new Apple ID it won't let me because when i try to update an app the old ID comes up to sign in. I deleted that account so it will not let me use my new one.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

Whereas in the past when I used the Magic Wand I got rid of it by using another tool or clicking on "escape", today the "escape" is not working. What should I do?I am working with Element 10

Can somebody please advise me why Escape is not working anymore and how to get rid of the magic wand?

At the far left of the options bar is a tiny triangle. Click it and choose Reset Tool and see if that helps.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Just upgraded iPad when I click the plus in tool bar won't let me bookmark?

Just upgraded my ipad. When I tried to bookmark by using the plus sign in toolbar it brings me to favorites but no option to add one. How can I bookmark?

You add a bookmark by touching the box with arrow icon at the upper left. If you want the bookmark in Favorites navigate to that folder in the bookmark dialog.

HT201266 It's saying I need to log into iTunes to be able to use the App Store, but it won't let me log into iTunes because it says I need to log into iTunes which makes no sense whatsoever to me any help? Thanks

if if anyone can help me out i would be so thankful

Go to the main iTunes store screen.
Go to the very bottom right of thes creen and click flag/marble icon.
Select the US store.
Instead of selecting *Create account*, select Redeem.
Input the card number then select Create new account (unless you already have an iTunes account then use that).
If these iTunes gift cards are from the US, you need to create a US iTunes account with a US address.

My pages app won't finish downloading, it keeps saying waiting even when I hit the install button and it won't let me pause it to start the download again.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

I'm using the latest version but it won't let me install Adblock Plus because it thinks I'm using Firefox 2.0. Youtube also thinks I'm using an old version.

I've tried updating Firefox several times, and I just completely uninstalled it, then installed it again.

You have a corrupted user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/2.0.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
See [[Finding your Firefox version]] and [[Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
Check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page. 
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. 
Filter: general.useragent 
If any general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose Reset.

Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

No, you'll have to use Mission control for that. It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.

How to Sleep an IMac using the Magic Mouse

I received a Magic Mouse as a Christmas present. It works really nice but I
must be doing something wrong as it is battery hog. It is just the middle
of January (less than a month of use) and the 2nd set of batteries are now
down to 40%. I noticed it starts getting a little flakey at 30% so I may have
to replace the 2nd set soon. Yes they were good when installed as it read
100%.
I have not figured out how to Sleep the iMac and turn off the bluetooth
Magic Mouse. If I put the iMac to sleep with the Mouse, it wakes when I
slide the Magic Mouse power switch to OFF. I must be doing something
wrong.
Again, I like the Magic Mouse but really likes it suck down batteries.

Same problem here. Batteries last about 10 days. Checked each with a digital multimeter. One battery was drained, the other was perfect.
I replaced the dead battery and marked the other one I left in. One week later, the new battery was dead. The marked battery was fine. The mouse is defective, it is only using the power on one side. Time for a return to the Apple Store. I hope it will be a quick swap.

I have boot camp in my mac to use autocad. Can I use the magic mouse on my windows side and use it to work in autocad?

Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly. Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

When using airport express with magic jack it disconnects when i use the phone.

When the airport express is used with magic jack it disconnects internet service when i use the phone. That is with incomming or out going calls.

I went through that very same issue with two of my Samsung phones. ....my problem turned out to be corrupted files within my 1st phone programming due to a bad OS update
The second phone issue occurred because my phones data became corrupted by a mild virus therefore it was necessary in both cases to replace the phones. ..
But, there is also a third option, try removing any recent apps you've added then turn your phone off and back on to refresh
Or try doing a factory rese, I know I realize how frustrating these are but, in some cases it fixes the issue without additional challenges. ..
You should also add the Verizon protection and security app to your phone to prevent virus and other such problems from affecting your phone going forward. ...
The best thing about this app aside from its protection is that it also enables the user to easily save and transfer their phone content between phones and backs everything up to a minimum of 25GB of the cloud
But, you also need to turn your android phone off at least once every 3-days to maintain a good connection to the Verizon network

Can I disable the internal trackpad if I am using the magic trackpad

I am using the magic trackpad with my 11" MacBook Air and want to disable the notebook trackpad. Is this possible. No obvious setting in the system trackpad preferences.

Yes, It's in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > check "ignore internal trackpad when external mouse or trackpad present.
