Yes. OSX is telling you to either connect a USB mouse, or power on your wireless mouse.

  • Satellite L505-13X - Doesn't start at the first time

    my laptop does not start at the first time I turn and I put it out several times that it starts

    Hello
    > thanks you my friend but my problem has not been answered yet. because i have more than one laptop and all have the same problem
    For me it sounds like a software problem.
    I mean if you have installed XP, nobody knows which drivers you have installed and applications. Everything could cause this issue and in this case you have to search for a solution yourself.
    If you install the OS from Toshiba recovery disk and everything works properly, its not a hardware malfunction and not an issue of Toshiba.

  • Making a flash movie delay before starting for the first time

    Flash noob here. I've currently got a little bit of
    actionscript in my flash movie which makes it loop a couple times,
    and then pause, before looping over again, and then pausing again,
    and wash-rinse-repeat, which is fine.
    But now what I also need is to add a small bit of code
    (preferably on the first frame) which allows me to set a delay
    time, that the movie will just appear to be paused, but it should
    ONLY do this the first time. Every other time, the movie should
    loop like it does normally.
    The reason is because I've got about 3 movies on my page,
    when one stops moving, I want a 2nd one to start, then when that
    one stops, the 3nd will start, and when the third one stops, the
    1irst one will start again, etc. so I have to time it just
    right.

    If it might help, here's the code I have so far. The movie
    has 17 frames. But that shouldn't matter, I was going to just go by
    the loop count, and try to even them up that way.
    frame 1
    function pause(){
    play();
    clearInterval(timer);
    loopCount=0;
    frame 16
    if (!loopCount) {
    var loopCount:Number = 0;
    loopCount++;
    if (loopCount < 5) {
    this.gotoAndPlay(1);
    } else {
    this.gotoAndPlay(17);
    frame 17
    stop(); // 60000 = 1 minute
    timer = setInterval(pause, 10000);

  • HT2500 mail starts like the first time asking to configure account

    After restarting mya mac book when it froze ... I opened Mail and started as if I was using it for the first time, asking to configure email accounts.
    Is there a way to get back all my accounts and emails?

    Check & see how many Users accounts are in the Users folder at root of the drive, perhaps your home folder got renamed?
    Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory, (it can happen spontaneously too)...

  • IPad 2 starting for the first time without itunes ?

    Hello everyone,
    I just bought an iPad 2  for my brother in India. :-).  A brand new iPad 2 in a white box from best buy. I have couple of questions and hope the forum members would help. Thank you.
    1. As i unboxed , i pressed the Home button, and the iPad screen didn't show the connect to itunes logo,instead led me thru' a series of steps like registering for itunes/apple password and it just started on its own. It works fine though ,however i found this to be weird to start without connecting to itunes. Is this considered "normal" for recent iPad 2's to start without itunes ?.
    2. What kind of travel adapter would you suggest for use in India /240V ?. I was suggested to purchase  a world adapter kit from apple store for $39.00 ,but i would use only one adapter and the rest wouldn't be of any use ? Could you suggest an adapter to use in India ?

    As of iOS 5, it is quite feasible to start up, configure and use an iPad without connecting to iTunes. My New IPad has NEVER been synched to a computer.

  • I Chat will not start for the first time on my Macbook Pro after Migration

    Hi hope someone can help as this problem has stumped me. I cannot get ICHAT to even start having migrated all applications via Migration Assistant from a Macbook to a Macbook Pro. Everything else seems to work fine except when I run ICHAT and follow setup I get to a final screen which locks without showing a DONE button to complete the setup process! I have reloaded OS X, downloaded the OS X Combo OSand tried that, deleted the app and started again just in case but to no avail. Can anyone help? The application worked fine on the old Macbook but not on this machine.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    Please tells us which version of iChat was moved to the new computer ?

  • Airport Extreme (802.1) cannot connect for the first time.

    Hi all!
    I got an Ubuntu running Wine and the Admin Utility For Windows. I am trying to connect (after a hard reset) to the Airport Extreme Base Station. But no matter what I do I cannot get through the default password (which is supposed to be 'admin' or 'public' ) Neither work - can't configure the router! Please advise!

    Do as it says. Your license is for Creative Suite, not Acrobat. You must activate the license by opening one of the other programs first.

  • Cannot sync for the first time, please help

    I'm using 3-G4 units, two will sync 1 will not. The one that will not is a G3 B|W unit that I upgraded to a G4 Processor 500 MHz After giving this unit a different name than the others,I can see all three computers in the isync window but when I press sync it starts but stops right away not completing the sync.
    G3-B|W Upgrade to G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   500MHz proc,650HD,

    It has died. Like a million times. It won't stay recognized long enough to charge. do you know what I mean? Meaning, I'll get the little icon that means there's very low battery, and it's charging, then after a few minutes, it will say "no battery power, connect ipod to power"
    And I've tried an adapter that lets you plug it into a wall, and that doesn't work either. I do have an ipod clock radio, tho with a dock... I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't work,I might buy her one, because I feel responsible for this. But you don't care about that XD
    Thanks for the help

  • Why so long to start my Mac Pro the first time?

    Today I just received my new Mac Pro - it's an 8 core machine with the hardware raid card and three 500GB hard drives.
    So I carefully unpacked it, checked everything and connected up keyboard, mouse, display and LAN cable. Then I turned it on and I've been waiting ever since.
    First all I got was a white screen, then after about 2 or 3 minutes the apple logo in the centre of the screen. After another 15 minutes or so I got a blue screen and then after another 15 minutes or so a "select language" dialogue. 30 minutes on all there is is the spinning coloured wheel.
    Surely it is not usual to take so long to start up the first time? Should I just carry on waiting? Suggestions welcome - I'm coming to Mac for the first time from Linux after playing around with a colleague's MacBook.
    Thanks

    Hi there. It could be one of your drives is actually defective and causing I/O to slow down to a crawl. To verify this, try inserting the DVD that came with your Mac Pro and restarting the machine while holding down the 'C' key. This will boot up the machine off the DVD and bypass your hard disks. If it boots quicker there could be a problem with the drives or something else.

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?

  • Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again.  Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

    Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off.  All other back up attemps fail.  Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function.  Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
    The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity.  I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired.  The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
    I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

  • Cannot get the parameter from a HTML page at the first time

    Hi everyone,
    I have a html page with <input name="username" ...>, and the submit action is a url to my JSF web application. In the start page of the JSF webapp, I use following code to get value of username.
    FacesContext facesContext = javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    String userName = (String)facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("username");
    However, I cannot get it at the first time. The strange thing is if i click "refresh" button, the value of username is shown up on my page.
    Why? and How to solve it?
    Thanks in advance,

  • BW Upgrade - Starting Prepare for the First Time

    Hi,
    I'm starting the prepare for the first time and I received this message "You must be BD2ADM to run this command."  I login as BD2OFR.
    I'm trying to upgrade our BW 3.1C with kernel 640 to NetWeaver 2004 SR1.
    Do you have any solution for this problem I cannot continue with the prepare.
    Thanks,
    Ramon

    Hi Ramon,
    I ran into the same error ... (but it was very late night and therefore I don't know if I did something wrong and I forgot to talk to SAP on this)
    But:
    - For the 7.00 Upgrade you NEED sidofr and not sidadm!
    - I used the following workaround - run with sidofr -:
    SAPUP UPGDIR('/usr/sap/put') PARMLIST('check')
    (instead of prepare - which is the same - with this trick the first error message was "skipped")

    P.S.: Sorry SAP collegues, that I didn't mention this issue, but I'm always (when it is not midnight) using the SAPup-prepare above and therefore rarely see this problem.

  • I just loaded Firefox, and the first time I try to open it, I get the message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I tried deleting and reloading to no success. Any clue about what is wrong?

    I downloaded the free Firefox system from the web. I have not been able to open the system since loading it.

    I can not find any of the files you address.
    I am tying to install Firefox for the first time. SO, if that is the case, how can any of these various files exist? I cannot access the contents of my "Application support" folder.
    I have tried to delete Firefox and start over, and the same error message comes up.
    I guess my frustration is how can I have a profile if I do not have Firefox installed?
