Why isn't my mouse opening anything when I click on it? It's moving around and the batteries are fine but it's not opening anything!
My mouse is not working with my computer. The batteries are good. The cursor arrow will move where I want it but when I click,nothing happens! Ugh! Is it thecomputer or the mouse? How can I fix it if the mouse doesn't work?
I was having all kinds of crazy mouse and trackpad problems after installing Lion.Reset PRAM and that helped briefly. Then found out my main battery was bad. Now that I have replaced it my mouse and track pad are behaving. It may have been coincidence or it may be that Lion is more sensitive to battery issues?
Worth checking your battery as this can cause all kinds of problems apparently.....

when I connect my iPhone, iPhoto opens and the phone begins charging but iTunes does not recognize it and I cannot sync. Any advice?
Howdy AndieKanaras,
It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I downloaded the 30 day free trial of Photoshop on 9/11, but have not been able to open it, or even find it on my computer. I do have the Adobe Create Cloud icon, and when I click it it list PS as downloaded and lets me access tutorials, but that is all.
Please let me know how to open and use PS.
Homer GuyHi Homerguy,
If you are using Mac, please open the finder window click on go and choose applications and try to launch Photoshop from there.
If windows, please navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and double click on the Photoshop.exe file.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.
Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems... -
Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.
Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.
Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work) -

I have just purchased an Apple Magic Trackpad. I connected it to my Macbook to test it. Fine. But I want to use it with my IMac - and my IMac cannot discover it - even though it is turned on and the batteries are 100%. Why? Can I reconfigure it to the IMac?
Remove it from the Macbook first. BT devices may only be connected to one thing at a time.

When i try to download an app, my password and apple id are correct but it never works. I recently downloaded ios 7 and am wondering if it changed something...
It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

HT1338 When I click on Firefox a message comes up that is already running. But it is not working.
Having trouble with Getting on Firefox when I click on it a message comes up that "Firefox is already running" or nothing happens at all.
HI,
It is possible to close the main window of some apps and not have it Quit.
This will mean it should show the lightened area under the app in the DOCK.
Clicking the icon in the Dock should at least bring the app name to the Menu Bar.
The Window Menu of most will tell you the Keystrokes to bring a window to the "Front" or make it visible again.
I have come across this when one version gets installed without removing a previous version.
Sometimes caused by putting all browsers in a sub folder and not loose in Applications.
In most cases with one install using the DOCK, CMD + Tab, the Application Folder > App Icon double click brings the App to the "Front".
Please note that "Categorising" the Tread with all the options does not always get the people with the right knowledge to your Thread.
I know about the Messages App.
I know the broader strokes of how the OS works (Not so good at explaining it)

I had a connection between my macbook pro and my wireless keyboard, when the keyboard stopped working. I replaced the batteries, and it will no longer allow me to connect the keyboard. In fact, my macbook no longer recognizes it at all when I try to reconnect via bluetooth.
Yes, I've had a similar problem:
My keyboard was connecting just fine except for recently when my son would switch to his user and then I would switch back after he finished his homework in another room in the house.
Now I've restarted and there is no longer a Bluetooth option to click in System Preferences, and as I dig deeper into the Network option, I can click the Bluetooth PAN, but if I try to "add" a BT device or select "Advanced" the button is grayed-out and the message says BT is not available.
The keyboard power cycles fine and is available to my iMac for pairing.
My top of the screen menu bar shows the BT symbol, but tells me it's not available. Whaaaat???
Utilities' System Info tells me there is "no information available" when I click the BT devices under hardware.
Somehow it appears I've either lost the BT drivers or the module has failed.
Any suggestions??
TIA, Bradley -
Certain albums that I import or have been imported appear as two and certain tracks are split over the two albums. The tracks that are split are either various artists or featuring different artists which differ from the album title, how do i over come this.
Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
For best results go to the Songs view, if necessary use View > Show Column Browser, then tick both of View > Column Browser > Group Compilations and View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists.
While setting Album Artist will normally fix things, if you have a non-iOS iPod device you may also need to change Artist as suggested or the album will break up again there.

Why isn't my outlook opening when I log onto my mac?
why isn't my outlook opening when I log onto my mac?
It's probably sleeping in...
Look in System Prefs>Accounts for the Login Items. If Outlook is on the list, it may be unchecked. If it's not on the list, add it.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.
1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
