I ma not sure but almost in all places I read that macbook + sandforce SSDs crash if they go to sleep due to being idle.
Is that the only case or selecting sleep from apple menu will cause the same effect.
Sometimes, my wireless mouse loses all connectivity and its wiped out from the iMac's paired devices.
So I need to re-pair it but I can't do it easily when my mouse is not working.
So how do I get to the bluetooth menu and then click on "Set up New Device" all with the keyboard?
I've learned to move the mouse arrow with my keypad but how do I access the menu and button directly with keyboard shortcuts?
I don't know where post this, but I'm getting since yesterday a weird behavior in OS X Snow Leopard.
I don't know if is related to XCode/iPhone SDK or what. Sometimes, with no apparent reason, the menu of the application become FULL white.
Then in the emulator I get distortions in controls (the edit not show characters when input, but the control are getting it).
Also I lost the Command-Z in the xcode editor. Other glitches are around but I don't remember it right now.
I have a white macbook MacBook2,1.
I have an iMac running 10.7.3 that will not shut down or restart using the apple menu. The only way to get this machine to shut down is to hold down the on/off button on the back of the computer. This has been a problem for quite some time and may have started with Lion, but I’m not sure. .

For some reason I cannot click or double-click using any mouse device. I tried connecting a brand-new Apple Bluetooth mouse to my Mac desktop (new, running Lion 10.7) and it would not connect. So I took out my old USB apple mouse, and although it will move e cursor around the screen, it will not click anything. So I tried a Wacom Bamboo tablet and it won't click either. It will only do the equivalent of right-click, revealing menus and so forth. The Bamboo tablet is brand new but I can't go through the setup if I can't click anything. I tried restarting several times, and also restarting with Cmd-Option-P-R to reset the PRAM, and still nothing has changed.

had problems with the trackpad - when I tap to select an item the mouse pointer "bounces" off the item I'm trying to select. It happens randomly - not every time. I migrated all my data and settings from my old Mac Pro (2011 model, also running Mavericks) via Time Machine - could that have an impact? Not using any non-Apple power supplies or other devices.

When I hover my mouse over an application (such as Terminal) it freezes with the message 'process Termainl [pid] caught causing excessive wakeups...'Â
Some applications (such as Google Chrome) work fine. Others (iTerm, Terminal, Hipchat) are susceptible. If the application exhibits the behaviour - without fail, simply hovering the mouse over the application window, without clicking or giving it explicit focus, will cause it to freeze.Â
Prior to this, my battery had swollen and the suspicion was that it was pressing against the trackpad resulting in a constant stream of interrupts. I took the battery out and am typing this without the battery - the issue persists.Â
I also tried disconnecting the trackpad. Same issue, even when using an external mouse to navigate.
So i know this is gonna be a challenging one...
After a day of installing and trying/deleting new apps as well as trying terminal tricks from UsingMac.com like these and these, i went up to my apple menu in the menu bar for the first time since i started fiddling around, and it looks like what you see below in the attachment. I have absolutely no idea what made it happen; I'm just wondering if there is a way to reset the menu alone. because instead of having just what it says in the "system services" section in the menu, it has all that other stuff as well (Calculator, FruitMenu, etc.).
P.S.: Fruitmenu isn't even installed. i uninstalled it after i found out it was only a demo.
So basically:
1) how do i restore the main menu in the menu bar back to its original settings?
and 2) I need to do it in a way that wont screw up the rest of my computer or settings
After the midnight update, now when I go to buy any of the Macbook Pros (the 'Select' button) I get "The page you're looking for can't be found." Everything else seems to work.
on my girlfriends computer when i select the option to allow password to be reset using apple id, it unchecks it self. i dont have this problem.

I recently bought a Dynex Mini-DVI to Video cable and used a yellow composite cable to connect my 13" Macbook white to the TV.
It wasn't working so I was messing around with some of the options and I think I moved the menu bar to the small display under Arrangement
Now whenever I plug in the mini-dvi cable, I have no mouse or menu bar displaying on my Macbook. And the TV still shows nothing.
Everything is normal when the mini-dvi is not attached, but when it is, I have no mouse arrow.
I'll worry about displaying my computer on the TV later: How can I get the Display settings to default
ive tried to install my new hdd (seagate barracuda 1tb) and i startup with option key but i get a padlock with password?.

The Apple menu, on all users accounts, is not working. The actual pull down menu doesn't pull down when I click on it. Also, if I try quitting applications by using the keyboard, it doesn't work. I have to force quit any application I open.
I tried repair disk permissions, and starting up in safe boot, but it didn't help.
Due to many reasons, I wish to select multiple Finder lines for moving, deleting, etc.How can I select more than one at a time?

Time Machine no longer works for me. Apparently the volume of stuff it wants to back up is too large for the partition devoted to it (on an external hard drive). But I can't choose the exclude anything because the Options button in Time Machine Prefs is greyed out. I've deleted the TimeMachine .plist file, and restarted, but no go. And I haven't found anything to help either here or on the larger web

Network diagnostics is asking me to select a location. What is a location? Does it make a difference whether I choose a dated one or automatic? And why is my previous selection lost?

Is there a way that I can easily change the color of the apple in the menu bar (make it red) in Mac OS X (currently 10.5.6, but updating now).

Has anyone got a solution?! !
I know how to change the icons on the menu bar except one. I've looked on the internet but couldn't find any thing about how I can change the apple logo() in the left corner of the menu bar(application bar). I was hoping any of you guys could help me out on this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed and uninstalled Aqua Connect Trial today (Terminal Server / Remote Desktop for Mac) and I'm fairly certain I now have 2 major issues because of it.Googled for the past hour for a solution but found nothing so far.
- in the menu the Sleep item is greyed out. I cannot click it, the keyboard shortcut for sleep doesn't work and pressing the power button does nothing
- all my animations aren't smooth anymore like expose, dock, dashboard, etc
I'm pulling my hair out of frustration
I just looked up at my menu bar and the apple was pink. No idea what this means, if it means anything at all.

A couple of days ago I checked for updates for my Lion - I was in particular looking for the Java update to fix the recently reported security issue - and selected 2 items including the Java update for downloading. I checked the size of the items and they added up to be less than 200MB in total. But as soon as the downloading started, the total size suddenly became 1.4G!!! There was no obvious way for me to check exactly what I was downloading and de-select any unwanted updates. I didn't want to stop the downloading because I did want to make sure I have the Java update.
