Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

Wireless Mouse and Keyboard don't work under bootcamp. Any suggestions?

I installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp. Everything works, but my wireless mouse and keyboard. If I add a wired mouse and keyboard, they work. Have reinstalled Bootcamp a few times, but when I try and add the devices. they are seen, but then can't pair.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, the 'unplugged' reference was noted earlier and I wasn't sure if you'd get a
better response than a standard suggestion to try the other ideas in this link first
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
before actually performing the SMC, that is a dragnet kind of catch-all, sometimes.
All of my keyboard & mouse units are USB and I've gone as far as supplying the
mouse and other peripherals with a powered USB hub; so power from the Mac
isn't spread too thin. The keyboard is one of the only items that should be attached
to the USB port; as it has to work on startup pre-boot keyboard shortcuts... Such
as SafeBoot, PRAM reset, and others where you need a live keyboard and BT
may not be up to the task of being ready. Three going on four of my Macs have
bluetooth capabilities for those items; but I can't justify the continual upkeep cost.
Spare USB keyboards and a few extra mouse are handy as troubleshooting tools, too.
There are some USB keyboard references among search results in this linked page:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Apple+USB+keyboard+troubleshooting
Perhaps the SMC pre-reset suggestions may help resolve the issue, if not, try reset.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do you get the two step security to work with virtual machines running under parallels?

I use Quickbooks running on a virtual PC under Parallels. I have always have Quickbooks interface with Thunderbird on the PC side to email invoices to customers using my apple email account.
Once I switched to two-step verification security, Apple doesn't recognize the "new" computer trying to access my mail account, but it also doesn't send any kind of code to a second device to authorize the access.
For now, I've had to switch back to the traditional security and the above process immediately works again 9without asking me any security questions).
Is there a way to have Apple recognize the virtual PC (or any other non-Mac computer) with two-step verification security?

You have to go to your Apple ID and generate application specific passwords.

Anyone manage to get ColdFusion to work under Apache on OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

Hi all I'm having great difficulty getting ColdFusion10 to work under Apache with OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Here is a description of what I've faced and a little of what I've done to solve my problem
Problem 1
Apache httpd.conf file gets messed up
Solution: copy original httpd.conf file from /etc/apache2/original/ to /etc/apache2/
Problem 2
No Java Virtual Machine is installed!
Solution: install Java (version 6 or 7 is better) you may only be able to install version 8
Problem 3
ColdFusion doesn't know where your Java installation is so find and update your ColdFusion configuration files
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.config
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/coldfusion
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig_jvm.config
change the source to whatever your current Java is and where it's located
for example if you have version 7 installed:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
if you have version 8 installed:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home
Problem 4
INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: YOUR PATH HERE!
Solution:Still working on this one!

I think you should try Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
It's a .pkg installer for OS X, I used it several times to install software that Apple's Installer can't install. After installing Xsan 1.0 from your CD, just launch Apple's software update to upgrade to version 1.3. I think it should work (I didn't try it with Xsan, but this procedure works with other software).

Unable to get mouse (USB) or serial working.

I have a MSI 865P board.
Ive tried all drivers ive seen this far and am unable to get a USB installed or serial working. Any ideas?

Well due to the Weak PSU it is making it very difficult for allof your Componants to work together under some Load, as when installing windows, your memory is not recieving enough Power, so therfore the OS is Not installing Properly....The only thing that you can do to remedy the Situation is to Replace the PSU, with a Quality, More Powerful, PSU such as a Enermax 465Watt, or a Antec 480 Watt, Unit Because for about $99US you can get a PSU that you wont have to worry about replacing until you forgot how long you have had it........And the Funny thing is, That the PSU is the Most important componant in the PC, if it does not work, or work well, then rest assured nothing else will ...Plug all of your individual componants into this, and you will be amazed on how much Power you really need >>>>>>> http://www.adecy.com/psu/ ....................Sean REILLY875

Get Flash Player to work under Vista

Using Internet Explorer, I am trying to get Flash Player 10 to work under Vista 32 bit. When I go to youtube.com, their greeting says "Hello, you either have JaveScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." Looking at the 'Programs and features' on the Control Panel, it shows 'Adobe Flash Player 10 activeX' is installed. In the Internet options, the security level is Medium-High. I tried to change this to medium but the sytem keeps reverting to Medium-High and in the scripting area, Active Scripting is set to enable. Can someone please tell me what I need do to get Flash player to work on my system.

Anyone here get an answer yet? Suddenly I'm getting those same messages that I either don't have javascript enabled (I do) or I need to get the latest version of Flash Player. But the latest version isn't for Windows 64. So what am I supposed to do, and what happened to cause this?

I can't get the iMessage or FaceTime to work on my iPod touch. I updated to the latest iOS. I have ensured restrictions are off and 'Set Automatically' is selected under date & time settings. I can enter my apple ID, but it bounces back to the first login screen.

I just hit the home key very fast 3 times and it worked. Glad to see that someone suggested this to another person with a mini. My gremlins are all gone. Yea to the forum .......Marci 73361

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

Anyone get GNOME Shell working in Virtualbox yet?

The latest version of Virtualbox came out today and it's supposed to have 3D support for GNOME 3 now and I've heard of some people on other distros getting GNOME Shell working, but I'm not having any such luck. I did a fresh install of Arch tonight, just in case, but I still get fallback mode (after upgrading Virtualbox and enabling 3D support, guest additions, etc). This is the error I'm getting:
[root@sandbox ~]# gnome-shell --replace
failed to create drawable
(gnome-shell:1242): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context
Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter.
It's the same error that someone was getting here a few weeks ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928760
However, with the Virtualbox upgrade, it's *supposed* to be running now, so I have no idea... So has anyone got this to work yet?

Or use latest virtualbox-guest-additons package.
Enjoy!
Somehow, it fails to work for me, don't know why! I just did a fresh install of Arch on a VM inside VirtualBox. Then installed Gnome by pacman -Sf gnome (yeah, conflicts. Had to force!) But, it dropped to fallback mode! Now, how do I get the 3d support?

Check the manufacturer website if the device is supported on Yosemite.
If not, you can get a SuperDrive from Apple which can run on any OS X version.

Numpad stopped working under gnome

Somehow my numpad stopped working under gnome. It does work under GDM etc so somehow a setting must have been changed.
Problem is, I can't find that setting :x
Someone any idea before I start deleting my gnome config files ?

You can just copy your files to other location
btw gnome (i think every gtk enviroments) uses keyboard settings from xorg.conf - maybe somethig is wrong with that file? Look at this, but i think first you may copy your gnome configuration to other place so you'll be sure if that is in your config or it is system error.

How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2?

How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2? When I try to build applications which use the package, the toolkit can't find it, although the .jar file is in WTK2.2/lib (jsr184.jar). But none of the scripts in WTK2.2/bin reference the file. I have tried adding classpath references to the jar file in all of the bin sripts, but I still get 'package does not exist' messages when I try to build, e.g., Redikod's M3GMIDlet. i have of course tried putting the jar file in the 'res' directory for the application.
Thanks,
