Whenever I click my trackpad, it acts like i'm holding it down. I even tried reinstalling snow leapord! Please help.
I have a macbook from early 07'. Whenever I click, it acts like I am holding down the button. I know it is a hardware problem, since I tried reinstalling snow leapord, but what should I do?
Did your trackpad show this same issue when you were booted to your Snow Leopard install DVD? If so, you have a hardware issue. Carry your MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider for repairs. Be sure to make a reservation first if you go to an Apple retail store, or you might spend a long time waiting to talk to a Mac Genius.
If not, let us know, we'll keep working with you.
Best of luck.

My Itunes not responding whenever I click on it. It hangs there and I couldn't syn my iphone to it. PLease help
Hi Keith,
Try closing all the applications you have running in the background and re-open iTunes, if that doesn't work I recommend to restart your machine and make sure you have the lastest version of iTunes.
Thanks -

Hello yazzie-dee,
I would recommend uninstalling, then downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

I can´t syncronize my Iphone 5 with Itunes 11.1.5.5. The option looks like locked in the menu. I have tried reinstalling Itunes but this is not the solution. Actually my PC runs under Windows 8.1. and Iphone runs under IOS 7.1. Someone can help me, please?
It seems I have solved my own problem . . . well hopefully !! ;-)
I was using a 'non' Apple cable. When I swithced to using the stock cable that came with my iPhone, iTunes can now see that I have a 'Device' and identifies it correctly as my iPhone.
Hopefully this may help others . . . ?

iMac G5 (iSight) with 10.4.11: Screen always dimmed. Starts at full bright and a second later dimms and stays like that forever. Brightness controls work normally under this circunstance. Please help !!!
Please don't tell me to adjust anything on the preferences, since I have tried all. I think it may be anoter kind of problem, maybe hardware related or anything.
I ran the Hardware repair DVD and everything was ok, but when the imac restarted the screen was very lit again, but when it went sleep, when it went awake again the screen got dimmed again. Because of that I think that the problem could be software related, but who knows. Excuse my english.I can't see another possible answer - the longer your machine is up, the more the power supply is stressed, it protects itself by dimming the screen to lower the draw on it.

Any other suggestions?Update your safari. Install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not. -
I have downloaded iOS 6 to my iTunes but I have clicked "Download Only" not "Download and Update" how do i install/sync it to my iPad. Please help me, its taken me hours to download it i don't want to do it again
PLEASE HELP ME!!!Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect. -
My Imovie continues to shut down every time i File-Import- then it pops up with everything i can import and right before im about to click on something it quits. I can't use my imovie until i figure this out, please help!
Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this? -
After taking a screenshot command + Shift + 4, clicking on my trackpad is like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Please help!
Maybe your trackpad battery is running low? If not I would suggest just restarting your Mac. Post again if those things don't fix your problem and some more involved problem-solving can be attempted.

IMac acting like space bar being held down
My iMac is acting like the space bar is being held down, even when keyboard and mouse are disconnected. How do I fix this problem?
Well, some info, maybe more than you nedd, but...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Windows 7 Professional
Windows Security Essentials
I clicked on the Firefox icon. The cursor changed from an arrow to a spinning wheel. Nothing happened. It stayed that way for 20 minutes until I went into the task manager and shut the program down.
I'm forced to use Internet Explorer and it's awful. Please help me.A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My Macbook shuts down when I put it to sleep.
I would try each of these in order seeing if the problem is solved after each:
1. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM and Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
2. Boot into Safe Mode, then reboot normally.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
4. Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Hello,
I have been using CS5 for about 2 years now and suddenly it started acting up. I do a lot of gradient fading on band photos, i.e fading them into one another. I am a novice at best, but I have a working knowledge of the program. a few weeks ago my gradients started acting goofy. Normally, I could take a photo, fade the edges out to transparent multiple times on the same mask. I.e I could open a layer mask, make all the fades I wanted, and then move on to the next photo. Now, I make a fade, then when I try to make a second, it removes the first.
This same thing happened to me a few months ago but I can't remember how I fixed it. I have scoured google and gone on an endless search of people having this issue and being told to use other tools, other methods, etc. I know what I am trying to do (and have successfully done it for 2 years) for whatever reason something is tweaked, or a setting changed that won't allow me to. I have reset the gradients, followed the hard key preferences reset procedure, and even completely uninstalled the program from my rig and re-installed. Nothing has helped.
PLEASE HELP!I suspect that you used to have gradient option set Foreground to Transparent, and that you now have it set to Foreground to Background.
