Scrolling suddenly stopped working on laptop. this is'nt the first time as I have had issues with my laptop mouse scolling feature not working

What a pain in the ass. Firefox will inadvertently stop the scrolling feature from working on my synaptics laptop mouse. It works for every other program except Firefox. Really??? This has happened on other versions of FF and I was sooo reluctant to upgrade as I was afraid it would happen again and viola, 3 days later it stopped working. If I restart FF scrolling works for about 15 seconds and then stops again. This is a joke.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

  • HOW TO STOP you are opening this program for the first time

    I continue to get the warning "you are opening this program for the first time".  I don't want that warning to ever appear again for any program.  How to permanently get this warning to never again appear?
    Best regards,

    Thomas,
    The reason I don't want these warnings (especially for programs that I have had on my Mac for years!) is because I now use ecamm's "Printopia" to send items from my iPad3 running iOS 6.0.1 to my MacBook Pro-13 (mid-2010) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 -- and in order to do this:
    1.  Both my iPad and Mac have to be on the same WiFi network.
    2.  The Mac has to be awake, cannot be in the "sleep" mode
    OK but in order to wake my Mac, I've found that using the app "Remote" on my iPad to open iTunes AND PLAY A SONG will "waken" my Mac*.
    So now, for example, I send a .jpg file to my Mac.  I have it set so that GraphicConverter opens when a .jpg file is to be opened.  OK but if this warning appears (and even though I have had GraphicConverter on the Mac since the beginning of time…) I sometimes (like today) get this warning.  Of course I am not at my Mac and yet when I eventually go to my Mac-- there is that dialog box sitting there and until I click OK the photo doesn't open (and on my iPad I don't get a confirmation that it has been sent, because it hasn't until I click OK on the Mac).
    This could happen for other types of files, too - text files or Word documents etc.
    It seems to happen when I UPDATE a program, like when GC went from 8.3 to 8.3.1 for example.
    Thanks for any additional comments.
    *Perhaps there is a better / faster / easier way to "waken" my Mac from my iPad?  This is the only way I have found so far…

  • TS2662 Today for the first time ( and I have had this iMac 6 months ) twice it did not recognize the magic mouse. i did everything exactly as related  in the troubleshooting section ( so I found when it started working again ) any ideas why ?

    I am curious as to if this might have something to do with the fact that I recently downloaded the new operating systwm or if it might have something to do with the fact that i just activated the wireless system in my house. I just keep my computer connected via a cord because it is a desk top and I assume that is the fastest speed... but I wanted my ipad to work without the paid for hot spot so I made sure my wireless was on (which it wasn't) and this mouse problem occurred pretty soon aftyer...

  • Don't know if this went through the first time. Cannon printer would not print black. bought a new Epson-800. Same problem. Can it be something in my Mac causing the problem. It's only the black that is not working.

  • I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 and I am trying to burn a play list and it gives the following message: disc burner or software not found.  This is the first time that I have this problem.  Can any one help me please?

    I have a Mac Book Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7; Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 and I am trying to burn a playlist and I get the following message:  "Disc burner or software not found" .  I have burned lots of CD's and DVD's before and this is the first time I get this message and cannot burn anything.  Can anybody help me, please?

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • After updating itunes to the latest version it will now not open. I have tried reinstalling the programme, rebooting and all other suggestions, to no avail. this not the first time I have had issues with itunes. Frankly I find it completely unacceptable .

    I recently updated itunes to the latest version and now the programme will not open.
    I have tried all suggestions such as reinstalling the programme, rebooting you name it, nothing.
    This most frustrating and completely unacceptable, especially when a company such as Apple touts itself being the leader in music technology yet does not respond directly to questions about faults in their system, but prefers to leave to disgruntled customers to try and sort it out amongst themselves
    This not the first time I have had frustrating problems with the Apple system. Perhaps someone could suggest a more reliable system to switch to. Someone with a better troubleshooting system.

    Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
    If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year.

  • When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

    The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to sync the phone. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Otherwise read this
    If that doesn’t work  you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
    Enter Wrong passcode
