Having Trouble Getting "down arrow" Set Back Onto Keyboard
Hello there,
I have spilled some soup on my laptop, nothing terrible just a little bit leaked near the arrow key. I was able to prevent any leakage below the keyboard itself.
However, when i took off the down arrow key - to clean the underneath of the key, and the base of the key connection - I cannot figure out how to secure the key back into place. There is the 2 component plastic connector for the bottom of the key, and once I have them assembled (in what seems to be the only possible configuration), pressing into the keyboard is not securing it into place. The key is remaining wobbly, and unusable.
Are there are advise on this topic, or reference I could see?
[HP Pavilion DV6, Down Arrow Key]
Thank you very much.
What is your product number, so I'll know the exact notebook you have?
Thanks,

Having trouble getting my online albums saved onto my hardrive . . .
I am a new user for the Photoshop Elements 8 and I have also just recently purchased a new computer and a new camera. All these new things are not making for very easy time for me! I did manage to get all of my pictures onto the PE8 but when I first created my free account (which I thought was going to act as the backup) it actually stored my pics into online albums. I have tried to move/copy the albums to my harddrive but everytime I try to copy them to a file that I created in "My Pictures", PE8 tells me that it is an unacceptable place to send the album. So, I guess the best question that I can ask is: how do I disable the online albums so that when I organize my albums in PE8, they are stored somewhere on my computer rather than online?? Or, how do I move the albums from online to my harddrive?? (When I did try to move it from online to the harddrive, I did use the export to harddrive option and it would look like it was working until it told me that it was an unacceptable destination . . . what is an "acceptable destination"?)
Any suggestions for the newby would be greatly appreciate:)
Thanks . . . KariHi Kari :
Based on your post i woul like to answer three major questions here that i think might help you use PSE 8 more efficiently :
1. How is using backup/sync to maintain online albums useful and where are the files downloaded from online account stored ?
The sync agent checks for changes made to your catalog files and albums at regular intervals and updates your online accordingly. So this Sync provides you with an additional resource to recover your files in case you were to lose them from your desktop accidently. In this case the 'Check Online' option of Reconnect comes handy. Choosing this will search for the missing files in your Photoshop.com account and recover the missing files. By default the downloaded files from online account are stored in the My pictures folder under a sub folder named Photoshop-com. You can see the exact location where the downloaded files are kept from : Edit>Preferences>Backup Synchronization. In this dialog box you can look for the folder for downloaded files.
2. How do I move my albums to hard drive ?
Albums is a feature of PSE 8 . So you can see the basic hierarchy and contents of an album using PSE. However if you want to store your albums on your hard disk : You can right click the album, select export to hard disk and store it by a particular name on a desired location. This saves the album as a playable slideshow to you disk. You can play this by using the index.html that shows in the new album folder created.
3. How do I stop Backup/sync ?
Open the Backup/Sync dialog box : Goto Edit>Preferences>Backup/Sync uncheck backup/sync is on.
But it is always recommended to use Backup/sync to safeguard your files as told in (1). You can always choose to backup only selected albums from the backup/sync dialog box. -
Having trouble getting Time Machine to back up my external hard drive. Any suggestions?
I'm running Mountain Lion on my iMac and I've been using Time Machine to back it up to my Time Capsule. Recently, the iMac's hard drive filled up, so I moved my iTunes library to a new Airport Time Capsule. But I can't seem to get Time Machine to include the new Airport Time Capsule in its back up.
The only suggestion I can find is to make sure it's not excluded in the Time Machine options, and I can see that nothing is excluded. However, when I go into Time Machine, the Airport Time Capsule is greyed out in the Finder window.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, I'm a little nervous about having my iTunes library hanging out there without a back up...Linc Davis wrote:
You can't back up the internal drive of the Time Capsule with Time Machine. It will only back up locally attached storage devices, not network devices. There's no way around it. You may be able to back up the TC with third-party software such as "Carbon Copy Cloner," but it will be very slow. The internal drive of the TC is only suitable for use as a backup device. It's not suited for storing original data.
yeah well you can use the external hard drive as a data extension to the time capsule internal hard drive. like a RAID in effect... -
I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks
Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

I've got the labview vi written to read my IMU data from a serial port in COM1 and it displays onto the table on the front panel. I'm having trouble getting this data onto an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas? Right now my data will collect one reading instead of continuously reading my IMU which displays data in a continuous stream.
Thanks

When I open my firefox browser my Jeeves is missing and am having trouble getting onto websites
Can't see Jeeves on the opening browser page and I am having trouble getting onto websites any ideas.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello Brenda,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad. It sounds like you're not able to access the Internet on your iPad. I found a couple of resources that will help.

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit. Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Macbook Pro having trouble shutting down/waking up
Okay, just to clarify, yes my Macbook Pro is 4 years old, but I don't think I've done anything to it that would really cause this.
My problem: First, when I boot up, sometimes I get a "Please restart your computer" message as the screen turns from blue to gray. It often takes at least 2 times before I can actually log in without a problem. And recently, I've been getting that message while I'm booted up... but only a couple of times.
Then my mac has also been having trouble shutting down and waking up. When I click "shut down" it takes a good, long while for it to shut down, if it does it at all. Again, recently I've had to just hold down the power button to get it to shut off, which I'm sure isn't good for the computer. And if I shut my Macbook, as in putting down the screen, it makes that noise that happens right before the "DING" (that little shifty noise... I can't really describe it) several times while still shut. And when I go to open it up to get back to what I was doing, it won't wake up unless I press the power button, but sometimes I have to restart.
Is there something horribly wrong with my Mac or is this normal for an aged computer? And is it fixable without having to Archive and Repair (I really don't want to have to go through that again, especially now that I really need this computer)?
Thanks for your help and I'm sorry if this has been asked before or is a completely noobish question.First question, how much free space do you have on the Hard Drive?
If less than 10 GB you're asking for trouble.
Have you booted off the Install Disk by holding the *d key* down at boot-up, (not the c key), and run the extended Apple HW Test? Some Install disks require holding the Option key at bootup to select the AHT. Some Macs came with separate AHT CDs.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes. -
I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD. I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??
Some clarification may help.
You say you cannot boot normally. It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility? (Which keyboard combinations)? -
I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad2.
It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it.
I can send emails, but can't get them.
Any ideas, people?Hi Kharels
Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one. This is tedious though.
The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
Hope this work for you - let us know.
