Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58047.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
You may well still have to enable the various features you require - see Configuring The ClickPad.

How do I get back to default settings for photoshop elements edit

How do I get back to default settings of photoshop elements 9 for edit. I tried to edit one picture and now all of my pictures are discolored.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (cmd+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

After I enter my password in my Mac mini, my screen turns black. I know it is there, ( i can hear the assistant), but I cannot see anything. i went to Genius and they said hold Control, Option, P, R on the re-boot to get back to factory settings...

I went to the Genius bar and they told me to Control, Option, P, R on a reboot to restore the settings, but with a wireless KeyBoard it does not work. I installed my standard PC keyboard, but am not sure what keys renase the display back to factory settings.

Hello Dominique,
Generally on a PC Keyboard...
Windows key = Command key on Mac
alt key = Option key on Mac
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
With PC KB... Windows+alt+p+r
But try holding the Shift key down at boot to get into Safe Mode, see if the Display settings need adjusting.

Error Message - Getting back to factory settings

I have tried everything that I have read on here to try and get my music back on my iPod...and nothing has worked. I have a 20GB click wheel iPod...sorry for the length of this in advance!
While updating my iPod, it decided to stop working (iTunes froze up). When I plugged it in again I would get an error message saying that iTunes could no longer read the contents of my iPod, and to use the updater software to get it back to factory settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled older versions of iTunes, the newest version, along with the more recent updater software, and nothing is working. I have also tried resetting my iPod manually - through the menu and by holding the menu and select keys down. Also, I am not sure if this means anything or not...but when I plug in my iPod with iTunes running, and I get the do not disconnect screen, there is also a circle made up of 2 arrows in the top left hand corner that i have never seen before. Has anyone else experienced this problem or is there a known solution for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help!

I did some reading in the Connections forum...some people seemed to have solved their problem similar to mine by using fire wire - so I went out and bought a fire wire card...but guess what - no luck!
This time I did get an error message though with a number...it is: "Attempting to copy the the disk "Rachel" failed. An unknown error occurred (-124)." Is it time to just throw the iPod out?
On another note, I put a new hard drive in my computer, formatted it, and tried getting the synch to work. No luck there either. I started off with the software that came with my iPod, and gradually moved up to the new versions. Nothing worked - it always froze on song 25 (and they were always different songs because I always tried a different library). I hate to say it, but I feel like I have tried everything and anything to get this to work, and nothing seems to do the trick. I don't understand how the people in the Apple store said it worked fine and they had no problems getting anything to synch on here. I am not trying to sound rude here...i am just a bit frustrated! If you can think of anything else B that might help out, I would appreciate it If not...then it might be time to call it quits and never look back at Apple again!
Thanks again for the help B - it is greatly appreciated!!

If your is set to "normal" like the above then it is a hardware problem with your monitor.

Use Rescue and Recovery to get back to factory settings?

Hi,
I want to restore my X220 laptop with Windows 7 to the factory settings. A while ago I got rid of a trojan and ended up losing some important DLL files, and I don't have a Windows restore point from before the trojan.
I clicked on the Lenovo Recovery (Q) drive. I then clicked "Create Recovery Media." However, I got the error Windows cannot find 'C:\. . . recovburncd.exe'. I read elsewhere in this forum that this means I should have created a recovery disk before I installed Windows.
I called the Lenovo technical support, and told them that I downloaded Rescue and Recovery and asked if I could access the Q drive through this software. I said I planned to "Create Rescue Media." They said this was the right way to do it.
So, I clicked on Create Rescue Media and used a DVD. However, when I looked at the contents of the DVD, I couldn't tell whether I had accessed the Q drive. What do I need to look for to verify that I have the correct content and am ready to reinstall Windows and the rest of the factory-origin software? Do I next use "Restore your system from a backup"? When I click "View all backups" there are no backups found because I haven't made any. Do I also need to use the "Backup your hard drive" tool? I can see the option to include the Q drive in the backup, but I cannot see a way to only backup Q.
My main concern is not to wipe the computer and then find out I don't have the right software ready to install because I use this computer for work everyday. I do have a backup system for all my files, so I will be ready to put those back on the computer after reinstalling Windows 7.
I appreciate your help.

If your factory shipped system was win 7, you should still have the recovery partition.
If your factory shipped system was Vista, and Install win 7 on top of it, you DO not have a recovery partition with 7 (it has vista). I dont think this is your case. RNR v 4.5 will NOT install if a vista recovery partition is present.
PF11 at boot up time, and go into RNR standalone. You should see an option for a Factory restore. You MIGHT have to go several layers into the RESTORE my system screen to find this option. You MIGHT find a factory restore option on the RNR windows platform (buried in a restore panel) , but I would l Not expect it. Boot into rnr standalone.
==
The recovery burncd.exe is a misleading message. It probably should say YOU HAVE already taken a factory recovery backup(you can only do this one time After factory restore, you can do it again).. I will post a link to another post on how to fix this.
====
CREATE rescue media is just a Standalone RNR. 1 DVD, no Q partition. It will boot up and act like standalone rnr(pf11). It will offer a factory restore option if it finds the Q partition.
Standard Take a back up now with RNR is just a backup of the C (and maybe q). You do not need to take this backup as your C drive is not in good shape. and Q is already available to use.
====
Create Factory recovery is a backup set of 3 dvds to REstore the Q drive back onto a hard drive. After restore of Q it will start a factory install. Running the 3 dvds WILL erase the whole drive. DVD 1 is boot, 2 and 3 are data.
Rescue= backups of c
Recovery=Factory restore of Q partition.
In a couple of days, after you get your factory restore done, use the Create Factory Recovery set to DVD. takes 3 dvd. This can be used in 4 years to repopulate your HDD (q drive) after your current HDD fails due to hardware error.
===
Link to several posts to reset the DONE.ini from 1 to 0 in Q partition.

Exporting and getting back the original settings

Just some basic questions if Lightroom 1 and 2 really behaves this way:
- When I export a picture I edited in the Develop module as a different file name, Lightroom then remembers those changes I made from that particular picture when I go back to the Library module.
- If i try to import the exported file, Lightroom 2 will give two previews of the same edited picture. The exported picture and the original. However, what I wanted Lightroom to do is to retain the original picture so that the edited will also appear in the library.
- When I try to import the original picture again, Lightroom said that the picture already exists in the catalog.
Are there any workarounds so that when I export an edited picture, lightroom retains the original picture for comparison purposes?

If you want both the "original" image and the developed version of the image visible in the Library module then use Virtual Copies.
Do this:
1. import your images
2. select them
3. create a new collection (Library > New Collection) and tick the "Make new virtual copies" box.
You can make development adjustments to the virtual copy.

Every time I shut down my computer, I lose all my settings - like things I removed from the dock are all back, the trackpad resets to original settings, etc. How can I get my preferences to stay like they used to? Thx!!

I recently went through a nightmare with my computer where there was an "old" operating system put on my computer and I guess File Vault was turned on. Since then I've upgraded and am now running 10.8.3 but got locked out of my old admin account when I tried to restore my computer from Time Capsule. Attempts to recover anything from my old admin account have been futile
So, I started a new Admin acct and have been trying to reconstruct my life, but every time I shut down and restart my computer, it erases/resets all my prefernces, like all the things in the Dock that I remove all come back and the track pad is always moving in the wrong direction again and has to be reset every time. Is there a way I make my prefernces stick??
BTW if anyone knows how to recover all my lost stuff that would be beyond amazing too
Thanks in advance!

Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings?

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

We rented a movie from Apple TV, had to pause it, accidentally pressed the search button on remote, could not get back into the movie, apple said 'go to settings, downloads, look for the movie', yeah, right, there is no 'downloads' selection under setting

wow, this is taking forever to communicate with anyone, I just want my $4.99 back from the movie rental I paid for. I paid for a rental, we were watching it, had to pause it, accidentally hit 'menu' on the apple remote, tried to get back into the movie, wouldn't let us, apple said ' go to settings, click downloads, select the rented movie from there',( not really a quote, but, close enough). So, we went to 'Settings' on main menu, but, there is no 'downloads' icon....I guess it is true: Do Not Rent from Apple TV'.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You are looking at outdated instructions, you can find the "check the downloads" option under settings > iTunes Store. You may also wish to look on the movies > rentals.
