Curve 8900 Trackball will click but not select

My BB Curve 8900 trackball will navigate all directions and even make the click noise, but it won't select anything. I am thinking of taking the trackball out and cleaning out the gold plate under the trackball but I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem and if you did, how you solved it. Thanks in advance.

well, I decided to take apart my phone and do some surgery. To make things short, I fixed my trackball in about 10 minutes. If you need help with anything, just PM me.

  • Tried invoke leftmouse click on rightclick. Not work-clicked but not select

    I want to be able to right-click and have it select something. So I tried invoking a left mouse click every time I right click, but that doesn't work - nothing is selected unless I actually click the left mouse button. Does anyone know why?
    My Code: (I tried two ways)
    //VERSION 1
    MouseEvent me = new MouseEvent((Component)evt.getSource(), evt.getID(), evt.getWhen(), InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK, evt.getX(), evt.getY(), evt.getClickCount(), evt.isPopupTrigger());
    ((Component)evt.getSource()).dispatchEvent(me);
    evt.consume();
    //VERSION 2
    MouseEvent me = new MouseEvent((Component)evt.getSource(), evt.getID(), evt.getWhen(), InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK, evt.getX(), evt.getY(), evt.getClickCount(), evt.isPopupTrigger());
    Toolkit tool = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    EventQueue evQ = tool.getSystemEventQueue();
    evQ.postEvent(me);
    evQ.dispatchEvent(me);
    me.getComponent().repaint();

    how am i supposed to kick off a mouse-click event? I just read that dispatchEvent only works for ActiveEvents and they have to have the dispatchEvent method or else it just ignores this call. MouseEvent does not have dispatchEvent, so it does nothing. So how can I kick off a mouse-click?

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • Hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send

    hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send.  says: could not be written to  check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only. 

    Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7

    Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7 using the USB cable. Does anyone have any advise?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    @MikeNTxs - 64bit USB drivers have been available since April of 2010, and they do work. I've synced successfully to my Vista64 bit laptop many times via USB.

  • Additional email address will receive but not send

    My .mac email address works fine, sending and rerceiving in "Mail" I have another email address with virgin.net. which will receive but not send. I get a pop-up window saying "cannot send using smpt mac.com" (this is the server selected for my .mac address account) I have tried selecting the virgin smpt server but that doesn't work either. What should I do?
    Thanks for all suggestions

    Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of the network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    Sounds like BT Broadband allows the use of an authenticated SMTP server that is outside of their network on Port 25 and the virgin.net SMTP server must not be authenticated.
    Are you accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by BT Broadband with the Mail.app?
    Something to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the virgin.net account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't resolve the problem and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by BT Broadband in Mail, select/use BT Broadband's SMTP server to send mail with your virgin.net account which is invisible to all recipients.
    These SMTP server restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.

  • Trying to set up mail.. will receive but not send

    Trying to set up mail....  will receive but not send.  Already called internet provider.  They said ask Apple.

    Hi ...
    Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Lion.
    From the Lion Help viewer ...
    If you can’t send messages
    If the Send button is dimmed or you see an alert that your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, you might not be able to send messages. Here are some things you can try:
    Make sure the outgoing mail server is specified correctly, as directed by your email service provider.Verify your outgoing mail server
    If you try to send a message and a dialog appears saying you need permission, an administrator has limited the email addresses you can correspond with. Click the Ask Permission button.Request permission to send messages
    Choose Window > Connection Doctor, and follow any instructions displayed in the Details column. Check whether there is a problem with your outgoing mail server or a firewall, if applicable, or if there was a login failure. If the Connection Doctor indicates a firewall problem:Verify there is no firewall software blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587.Check whether you’re affected by another firewall. This could be either software installed separately from Mac OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or software administered by your Internet service provider. Contact the appropriate person to find out whether a firewall exists.
    You may be able to send messages from only a certain location. For example, if you send messages from school, you may not be allowed to send messages using the school’s outgoing mail server when you’re at home. Or, the email service provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Get the information you need from your provider and then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences.

  • How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time? Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the item

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
    *see also [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]

  • Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink. It keeps aligning itself.

    My Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink - i have checked the black ink cartridge and it is full. Whenever i print anything in colour (only option) the printer goes into an alignment/maintenace loop that lasts for a long time and does not fix the problem. What should I do?

    Clean your printerhesd 4-5 times until the black fully restores.  I am on my third complete cleaning and have gone from 0% black to approx. 60-70%.  So, it works just takes time.

  • IPad will open but not display information entered on a form sent as a PDF.

    iPad will open but not display information entered on a PDF file. Same file will open and display all information on my iMac. Anyone had this problem?

    I think that you are trying to view a form fields PDF file and you cannot see the content that was filled in on those fields. Form fields will not show in the mail app or in iBooks. Download Adobe Reader for the iPad. It is free and it offers a lot of features for a free app. Save that PDF to Adobe Reader and see if the text in the fields appear.

  • OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on Power Mac G4 MDD

    OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on my Power Mac G4 MDD. Perhaps I should remove the relevant .plist preference file(s). But which one(s) is it /are they? Or is there something else I should do?

    Thank you for your reply, BDAqua. I have set the fax feature to answer after 3 rings, but the phone rings only once when someone is trying to send a fax. The phone icon in the menu bar changes to "ringing ..." but nothing more happens. The phone line on which I receive faxes is dedicated to that use. I phoned in to its number earlier today from another phone. I heard it ring once and then it went to the busy signal. I then disconnected the fax phone line from its wall jack, connected a phone to the jack, and phoned in to it. The phone now rang and rang as it should. So this confirms the assumption that the fault is in the computer, presumably in the Print & Fax software. I should also mention that I don't find com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist in /Library/Preferences.

  • G5, 10.3.9,Safari will not load.  aol will download but not upload. ?

    My g5 , 10.3.9, will not load safari, aol will download but not up load.  Safari just bonces when trying.  On aol I get a 513 error message when trying to upload.
    whats going on?
    John

    Success. I discovered the issue that was preventing QTSS start up.
    The IP Bind tab listed a set of new Class C IP addresses that ARIN forced us to move to last year and which had been properly configured into our network and I had checked the matching address shared in our new web server config.
    However /library/quicktimestreaming/config/streamingserver.xml had not exterminated the obsolete address and I pico'ed in the Terminal to replace these lines
    <LIST-PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >
    <VALUE>old ip</VALUE>
    <VALUE>new ip</VALUE>
    </LIST-PREF>
    with this line, which will now overide whatever's poking in the old ip, probably one of those pesky permanently-burned Net Info DB's that can't be purged despite the reality that servers sometimes need wholesale refreshes to be re-networked:
    <PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >new ip</PREF>

  • My o2 email will receive, but not send on my ipad

    My o2 email will receive, but not send. I've got other email accounts on the ipad &amp; they all work OK. The o2 mail account used to work properly, but I needed to remove the account &amp; since I've put it back on, it won't work on my ipad. Works ok on android mobile phone. I've checked the settings &amp; spoken to o2, but they couldn't solve! It may be since I've joined the cloud? Any advice, gratefully received. Thanks.

    Recheck the settings once again.  There is something wrong.  And it seems to happen to O2 people with some regularity.    Google o2 mail settings and you will get a page with the details.  Pay close attention to the port setting, you may need to change it on the pad, and that may be the problem.

  • IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages

    IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages.  Specifically, I can send my grown son text messages, but he can not reply to them, nor can he send me new texts. He and I are both on Verizon, and he has a Droid phone.  His texts can be recieved by his mother, who can forward them successfully to me.  When I initally received the phone (Dec 2012) I could receive and send texts with my son with no difficulty. The trouble began (as near as I can tell) when my phone was upgraded to 6.1.1.  This is a significant problem and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.

        Scouter, let's get you reconnected with your son, via text message. Make sure that your text messaging feature is enabled in Settings>Messaging:
    enable iMessage ON
    enable "Send as SMS" to ON
    MMS Messaging ON
    You will also need to reset the network connections in:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network
    Finally, power cycle your phone off/on and try to send your son a text message. Keep us posted. We're here to help you.
