Can't get any USB mouse to work!!!!!

I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Everything was fine with my Microsoft USB mouse until 2 days ago when it stopped responding. I put it down to my son having dropped it and bought a Logitech M505 USB mouse today. This is not recognized either and won't work. I've tried plugging the unifying device into both USB ports but it simply won't work and I'm told there is no Logitech device plugged in. Can anyone help me? Please!?!

I used my USB scanner last night and that worked fine and also when I plug in the receiver for the Microsoft mouse the light comes on so I figure everything is ok with the actual USB port? In system profiler/USB I can't see anything that would indicate a problem. Where would I have to look exactly? Is there some kind of test I can run to see if there is a problem?

  • I can't get any audio recording to work in Logic X.

    I got a new Imac, an Apogee duet and Logic X.
    I just got Logic X and I really love everything about it accept I can't record any audio recordings on it.
    I can use my old Logic and garageband files and play around and mix them with no problem. The midi works fine as well coming trhoug my headphones and monitors.
    Somehow I can't get the Audio to be heard or recorded. Which is a real bummer since I got only 6 songs left on my new album and it is an acoustic album. I bought Logic so I could master the first 5 and the record the last 6. But I'm stuck with garageband at the moment. Because that actually can record the audio throug my duett with no problem. Then I open the songs up in Logic and master and mix them..
    Ay ideas?

    If you can record and hear audio in Garageband, it must be down to something in Logic - have you checked the Audio tab in Logic's Preferences and selected your Duet as Output and Input device ?

  • Can't get Apple USB modem to work in Boot Camp

    I've been struggling to get an Internet connection under boot camp/Windows XP for several days. Have an Apple USB modem and installed all the Apple drivers. Apple tech support says they can't help me with Windows (cop out). Both Microsoft and my ISP tech support team have both been great and have spent hours trying to help me. Their final conclusion is that the modem is working fine, but the underlying flaw is the inability of an Apple system to run Windows. In desperation, I've ordered a US Robotics USB modem from the Mac/PC Connection that is both OS X and Windows XP compatible. It is on backorder for 2 weeks
    Any help you can give me in the meantime would be greatly appreciated! Glad I kept my old Dell!

    "I am confused, QuickDraw. If the poster cannot get online via Windows XP, how does he or she get the drivers?"
    I was speaking of the Boot Camp drivers that comes on the Leopard Disc. This could possibly be the answer to your troubles as well if you haven't already installed them yourself. After you've successfully installed Windows via Boot Camp, you need to boot up into Windows, then stick in your Leopard Disc and the drivers are supposed to install automatically. If after you've installed the BC drivers you still cannot get online via your router, then post back.
    Hope this helps.
    By the way, you really need to start your own thread. That way you'll have a better chance of being assisted from others. Just a suggestion.

  • How can I get a USB-8473 to work at 125kbps?

    All,
    I am using an NI USB-8473 high speed CAN card.  I've plugged in into a known-good CAN port in a network that works fine at 500kbps with other CAN devices.
    When I run the 8473 at 125Kbps, it works fine.  When I run it faster than that, it does not work.  It does not read CAN data, although the CAN LED does flash before an error (3FF6206B or other) is generated.  When I try to write to the bus at speeds above 125K, the device appears to attempt to write once, then stop functioning.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Although the network works with another interface at 500kbps, please check if your cabling meets the requirements for High-Speed CAN (page 4-4 of the NI-CAN Hardware and Software Manual).
    Do you use proper cable termination as mentionned at page 4-5 of above linked document ?
    Has the "know-good CAN port" an onboard 120 ohm termination resistor ?

  • I can't get any google related pages working since last security update

    Does anyone know how I can uninstall an update? This is driving me crazy. Just started a couple days ago. A few other sites I use often have stopped working as well. I'm also using safari 3.1.2 which I also downloaded recently.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Try this:
    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.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Can't get any file sharing to work

    I have 10.6.2 installed on a mac pro and mac book pro, and I can't share anything between them. Both have file sharing turned on, both have these exceptions allowing incoming connections with the built in firewall. Not only can I not mount or connect to the other computer through file sharing, the itunes home sharing doesn't work, and the iphoto sharing doesn't work either.
    Since nothing seems to work, it makes me think the router has something to do with it. I am using the Verizon FiOS Actiontec router. I would appreciate any help in finally getting my home network of 3 macs actually working together.

    UPDATE:
    i restored my factory router settings, and rebooted the router, and now the mac pro sees the laptop, but not vice versa. connecting mac pro to laptop worked one time, then failed after that. and itunes home sharing still doesn't work.

  • MBP 13" - Can't get any internal HDD's to work

    Hi there
    I have a MBP 13", about 1.5 years old. For some reason I can't get any internal HDD to work in the computer. I'we tried 3 harddrives including the one that came with the computer and they all cause the computer to freeze.
    I can though run the computer on an external hard drive without a problem. But it only works if there is no internal hard drive in the computer, otherwize it will freeze after a short while.
    I'we tried reformating the hard drives, but it never works, the computer will always freeze after some while.
    So it seems that there is something wrong with the internal mechanism of the computer. I have an appointment with a "Genious" tomorrow, but would love to hear some input from you guys on this malfunction before I go and talk to him.
    Btw I'we tried resetting the pram, without any change.
    To me it sounds like there is either a problem with the sata cable, or there is something wrong with the disk controller, which would probably mean that I need to change the motherboard. Luckily I think the computer is still under an applecare warranty.
    regards
    Frímann

    I think your diagnosis is exactly right.

    Hi deamayfield,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

  • Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?

    Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?

    Hi Gary - thanks so much for your help. I'd already done that, but finally stumbled across the answer for my situation. I'm new to iMac and this is the first time I used Keynote, so maybe this info will help someone else along the way - I still haven't found this in any of the Keynote documentation or forums I've read.
    My slides were all set up with at least one text box in which the text was animated. The sound was the last thing I added to each slide, exactly following the info in Keynote Help re: adding audio. The audio would work when I tested it in Inspector mode, and also if I switched to soundtrack instead. But not if sound was added to each individual slide. Hmmm. After I submitted the question above, I was running through the (auto) slide show one final time to check text, animation, etc. when I noticed that on just one single slide the sound effect came through, but at the very tail end of the slide. Hmm again. Why?
    Through trial & error, the answer was in the animation section - not very intuitive re: audio. The steps to correct the issue were: 1) click on the sound icon embedded in each slide, 2) click on the animation tab in Inspector. 3) There's a drop-down menu there that allows you to reposition the audio clip to the #1 spot (if it was added after other "animation"). This allows the sound to begin before the text animation begins on each slide. Before doing this, I guess the sound was in there but the slides were transitioning before it had a chance to play.
    Since this is the first time I've used Keynote and it's the most recent version, I'm not sure if this is a new feature to allow users to choose where within a slide to play a sound effect, but I'm guessing that might be why was unable to find any info on how to solve it. Hopefully this will help others who get stumped.
    Thanks again for jumping in to help! I really appreciate it.

    As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
