Why won't my Magic TrackPad stay on?

Yesterday I changed the batteries in my Magic TrackPad, now it only blinks green two times, waits a beat, then repeats the green light. In preferences, it says found trackpad, then it states no trackpad found. It was fine until yesterday. I have not made any upgrades. I am using Lion.

Why won't my Magic trackpad click?

I changed the batteris in my trackpad, reconnected it with my Bluetooth and the scrolling functions all seem to work, but I can't click on anything with a response. Any ideas out there? Sure it is something simple.

I'm afraid I don'thave an answer, but simply - more symptons which seem somewhat similar.
My trackpad (used with an iMac - latest OS), when I click with the lower left corner, invariably (3 times out of 4?) nothing happens. I need to click a second time for the "click" to take effect. Doesn't matter what I click on - all of the usual things - hyperlinks, dock, window open/close - whatever it is, first click invariably doesn't do anything, second click does.
I've got new batteries in it. I've diconnected from Bluetooth and reconnected. I've turned it off, then on. Still the same. This is a replacement for my first trackpad, which eventually wouldn't click at all.
Anyone else having these sorts of problems with the freestanding trackpad??

Why won't my Macbook Pro stay asleep?

Hello All,
I am desperate and really need an answer to this question. I have tried everything and had no luck.
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running Yosemite. Whenever I close the screen, it will fall asleep like it normally does. However, the external light will only pulse once (instead of continuously), and then I can hear the hard drive begin spinning again. The external light then stays at a constant, but the screen does not light back up.
It's like the computer falls asleep, but then only the hard drive wakes up, and stays woken up. This fact causes my Macbook to eventually use up whatever battery power it has and get warm in my backpack. The only thing I can do to preserve battery power is to shut down the whole computer and boot it up every time I need it.
I've already tried EVERYTHING found on this page: OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake - Apple Support. In addition, I have spent hours browsing other forums and help posts. Any help would be fantastic.
Also, on a side note. My computer seems to run much slower than it did on it's native Mavericks.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computer will not sleep if some sharing services are enabled.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Select
           ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
and uncheck both boxes marked
          Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals and test. If you use a wired keyboard and/or mouse, use different ones. You must rule out the wired keyboard and mouse as possible causes of the problem.
Step 5
Reset the SMC.
Step 6
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after restarting out of safe mode, post again.

Why won't my magic mouse pair with my computer?

Why won't apple tv 2 stay connected?, Why won't apple tv 2 stay connected?

ATV2 won't stay connect and is difficult and won't always reconnect.
Thanks for any help!

shared lib was around long before appletvs
in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
then the problem is with the appletv somehow
if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

Why won't my installed LR6 stay installed?

I've installed my upgrade 4X now and it won"t stay installed. It disappears when I try to reopen it and I'm back to LR5 with none of the new features (HDR/facial recognition new editing erase brushes), LR6 splash page etc. The only place I can find LR6 is back on the computer's downloads. LR 5 has the banner at the top of "Lightroom 3 Catalog 6-3

I have the same problem.

Why won't my Iphone 4 stay synced with my 2009 Ford Flex?, Why won't my Iphone 4 stay synced with my 2009 Ford Flex?

I recently purchased an iphone 4 through Verizon and it will not stay synced with my 2009 Ford Flex. I've tried rebooting the sync system with Ford, and have reinstalled the phone numerous times with no luck.
I have to turn off the bluetooth setting on the iphone (everytime I get into the car) and turn it back on, in order for the sync to work.
Does anyone else have this type of problem and is there a solution out there for this?
Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I updated my Sync software but the problem persists. According to the Ford forums this used to work until iOS version 4. It seems that Apple and Ford are in the finger pointing stage of childhood development. Let us hope they will mature soon and have a discussion on how to fix this issue. It simply CAN'T be hard to fix.

Why won't my web address stay in the address box

Why won't my magic mouse scroll on 10.7.3?

My magic mouse has stopped scrolling out of the blue. I've taken a look at all preferences, restarted, shut down, etc. and can't seem to re-enable.

Curious. I've seen conflicts with the PrefPanes when USBoverdrive was installed. Normally the Mouse preference pane doesn't show the Magic Mouse options.
Try trashing the mouse preference file located in
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
~ is your home folder name.
Your home folder library is hidden by default in Lion but can be reached by starting a Finder window and then on the Menubar, Finder > Go > hold the Option key down > select Library. In the resulting screen find the Preferences folder and drag the file above to your desktop.
Restart. OSx will create a new Preference List with default settings so you might have to visit any custom settings and reset them.

Why won't my iPhone 4s stay plugged in to my computer?

My iPhone 4s keeps connecting and disconnecting from my computer and wont stay plugged in.
I have tried different iPod cords, and none of them have worked. However, when I try them into a different laptop with my phone, it works. So it must be a issue with my laptop.
I plugged in my friend's iPhone 5 and it stayed plugged in and worked perfectly. I also tried plugging my phone into his laptop, and it worked perfectly as well.
So the problem seems to be with my laptop and with all pre-iPhone 5 cords.
Can anyone help?

Okay few questions. Did you buy your computer with current OS already installed? or did you install it yourself? Did you buy it from a reputable dealer?

Why won't 'Transform Pattern Tiles' stay checked?

It seems as though having this option in the Preferences unchecked is the default. I work with pattern tiles a lot and I ALWAYS want them to scale and move etc... with the object they're applied to. Every time I open an old file (from a previous version of AI where this option was checked) or start a new file, the option is unchecked, and I've really messed up some art when I've edited without realizing my pattern tiles aren't following along.
How do I make this option persistant? It's driving me crazy that I always have to go in and check the damn little box before I can make any edits.
BTW, I'm using AI CS6 through the cloud, so I should be all up to date.
Thanks

OK- I don't get it. It seems to be working the way it's supposed to right now. Since I wrote here last, I've been opening old files and opening new documents, and the box stays checked. I've re-started Illustrator then opened old files and new documents and it's stayed checked. I re-started my computer then started Illustrator and opened old files and new documents and the box has stayed checked. This is how it's supposed to be- so now I can't figure out how it has gotten unchecked in the past.
I do mockups of my company's pajamas and use pattern tiles to represent the pattern on the pajama fabric. The size of the pattern compared to the pajama as a whole is very important, so I NEVER deliberately turn 'Transform Pattern Tiles' off. I ALWAYS want it on. I've only ever checked the box to turn it back on when I've noticed that my pattern tiles aren't behaving the way they should. I've been using CS6 since last November (older versions of Illustrator for years before that), and have had to keep checking the box time after time with this version. And right before starting this thread I had just opened a new document, applied a pattern tile, and noticed it wasn't behaving properly. So I checked Preferences, and, sure enough, 'Transform Pattern Tiles' was unchecked.
I haven't had any other problems with Preferences- no crashes, nothing else resetting or anything that I've noticed. Maybe there's something in my workflow that's causing it that I don't know about. I just tried changing the Profile when opening a new document back and forth between a preset like 'Print' and 'Custom' (by changing the default Units as I sometimes do), and the box is staying checked the way it's supposed to.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I guess I'll keep checking to see if I can narrow it down.
Thanks for the replies.

Why won't websites I visit stay the way I set them up when I use Firefox?

As an example: When I go to MSNBC I set the number of articles for different subjects and they revert to default every time I open firefox. This does not happen with IE. Another is I have to log in to get to my hotmail & Gmail account every time I re-enter the browser. Please help .
Thanks, Nicholas

You have accidentally told Firefox not to remember cookies, or to refuse them.
Cookies are small text files that websites use to store information used by them, such as your session ID (so you can "remember" sessions), a tracking ID (used by ad platforms to offer you personalised advertisements), or simply few preferences websites have.
This cookies are sometimes abusive (for example, the tracking IDs), so some users may want to disable them.
In order to tell Firefox to allow cookies again, go to Firefox/Options (Edit/Preferences), privacy tab and choose Firefox will: "Remember history" in the combo box.
If you tried to disable browser history, that's the reason for which you have this problem. In that case you want firefox not to remember your browsing history, choose Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" and uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" and "Clear history when Firefox closes" and check the "Accept cookies from websites" checkbox.

Why won't my safari screen stay maximized when I initially open?

I always have my safari screen maximized, but just recently everytime I start up safari, the screen is minimized. How do I permanently have the safari screen maximized upon opening please?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF. Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
If it's not extensions, follow the instructions here for third party Safari plugins that may be causing this.
Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If third party plugins aren't the issue, login to another user account on your Mac. Launch Safari. See if you see the same problems, log back into your admin account. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk. If Disk Utility reports problems, follow the instructions here for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
