Help with a mouse connection issue.

I'm having trouble with my toshiba optical mouse with blue tooth.. I've been trying to get ahold of tech support, but all they do is tell me to go online, where there's absolutely nothing helpful.  I've tried online, I've tried tech support (and from other posts I viewed, I see I'm not alone with my view of tech support), and all I want to do is get my mouse reconnected to my computer.. It lost it's connection not too long ago, and I am unable to get it to reconnect.
If anyone knows where I could go to get actual helpfull information on the subject, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Which computer? Which Windows? Which model bluetooth optical mouse?

  • Can anyone help with a WRT54G connection issue - it just stopped working

    I have a Dell running Windows XP.  I have a DSL connection with a Westell 6100 modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G router connected to my main computer.  I use the router for a wireless connection to my laptop.  This setup worked fine for years - until a few days ago.  I no longer have internet access on my laptop and main computer.
    If I connect from the modem directly to the main computer, I have internet access.  But as soon as I put the router back in - I have no access.
    All the appropriate lights on the modem and router are lit.  When I do try to access the internet I get the dreaded PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED.  When I run the diagnostic, the error log shows: "Not all base service provider entries could be found in the winsock catalog. A reset is needed".  I don’t know if this is a standard catch-all error or not?
    Everything was fine until a few days ago when I just lost access.  Do I need a new router?  I hate to buy one and then find out something was corrupted on my computer instead. :-(
    Thanks!

    When connected from modem to PC directly (no router) and I type in ip[config /all (don't know if this is what i should do) -- I get:
    IP Address 192.168.1.100
    Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
    DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
    DNS Servers 192.168.1.1
    Does this mean I should try to change the LinkSys Router?
    I will go look there next.

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Fed up with speed and connection issues since exch...

    Last Monday BT done some upgrade work at our local exchange.  From that point onwards we have had speed and connection issues.
    I use a Belkin G Router rather that the Homehub some that we can run a printer through it and that is plugged in to telephone socket via an extension.  But before we blame any of that we have gone back to the Homehub2 so we could see the difference and there is very little.
    We live in the countrside so broadband speeds are not great in any case.  About 1.8 mg I guess but we have always had no problems.  It was good enough for us and we could watch Iplayer.
    I was getting fed up with drop outs and speed and yestereday an Openreach guy came out tested everything could not find any problems apart from speed.  He made some calls and was told our band width had been capped.  He had that removed and yesterday evening speed was a bit better.
    Today just as bad again.

    Hi Welcome to the forums
    Your high noise margin  will have a major impact  on your speed 
    If you post the full stats from your router
    For homehub – type 192.168.1.254 into your browser
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right of the home page and scroll down to ADSL Settings and click on it
    Click on More Details and then post the full results.
    also post the full results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    Have you tried connecting to the test socket at the rear of the master socket
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    also you could try the hints given by poster RogerB in this link they may help http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397

  • Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :

    Hi there,
    Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
    I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
    I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
    1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
    What is going on?!?!?!
    2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
    The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
    3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
    PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!

    I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
    Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
    For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
    http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
    I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
    IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
    Yes.
    First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
    Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
    Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
    Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
    Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
    Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
    Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
    Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
    Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
    Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
    Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
    Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
    And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
    I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
    http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
    It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
    Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

  • Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

    Hi
    I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
    After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
    However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long.  In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
    and any emails I compose dont work.  I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue  I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
    Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
    Look forward to a solution soon
    Thanks

    Hi Angela
    Thanks for your message
    To answer your questions, please note the following
    a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
    b) I am the only other user on the account
    c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
    d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows  connection as "established"
    e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment?  Can you pls explain
    Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account.  So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
    as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions.  The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
    My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results.  I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
    been resolved.
    Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
    Thanks

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issue

    Magic Mouse after power on button is switched on, no light indication at all. Frequent connection timed out before it becomes totally unusuable. I bought the Magic Mouse only for 7 months and had changed the mouse once. I had also changed the batteries to alkaline ones but didnt help reviving the mouse. Is this a hardware quality issue or setup issue? please advise.

    HellO:
    No light at all seems to indicate a faulty mouse.  I suggest you contact Applecare (or an Apple store) for a warranty replacement.

  • Ultimate solution to Magic Mouse connection issue?

    I have found that many users of Magic Mouse are experiencing frequent connection dropouts. I am another user who has been having trouble with this but unable to find a permanent solution.
    I know that whenever this happens, usually by switching off the bluetooth on the computer and switching it back on would make it work again, but sometimes when this problem gets intensified, within a minute after I switch back on the bluetooth and reconnect the mouse,  the mouse would appear laggy again (and disconnect too at times).
    I would like to know if there is a permanent solution to this problem.

    I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
    Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
    That should help with a speedy reconnect.

  • Can any help with my Xcode download issue?

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help with my Xcode issue? I downloaded it the other day but it is currently stuck saying waiting. I found this advice online http://scheyeniam.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/how-to-revive-mac-app-store-when-its.ht ml and it seemed simple enough. However it tells me to go into activity monitor and quite 'storeagent'. The issue is that there is no process called storeagent. I have tried quitting other processes but it doesn't seem to be working.
    Does anyone know of a solution to stop the download saying 'waiting' and to get it started?
    Thanks

    Most likely it is downloading, although the App Store doesn't show the download progress. I had the same problem yesterday when I did the upgrade. It eventually finished, and it's quite a large download, so it might take hours, depending on your internet connection.
    If you open the Launchpad, and locate the XCode application icon, it should show a download/install progress, if you want to verify that it's actually doing something. Otherwise, just leave the App Store running, and it should eventually finish.

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issues

    My magic mouse has been losing its connection lately. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the latest version of Yosemite. Could it be that the mouse is nearing the end of its life? I bought this mouse when the magic mouse first came out maybe 5 years ago. Any suggestions?

    I've followed several threads and agree with Seventy One, the problem is mechanical and simple to solve.  Cleaning the terminals is sensible, but I also did this which has made my mouse connection robust.
    My Solution:
    I took a thick rubber band cut it to about 1 inch in length.  I placed it across the negative end of the batteries between the batteries and the compartment lid (not between the batteries and the terminals as that would cause a different problem).  When I close the lid, without forcing it, the rubber band holds the batteries firmly in place.  The batteries last longer and there is no drop in connection.  You might need to experiment a little with the thickness of the rubber band.
    I can now lift the mouse, tap it on the mouse pad, turn it upside down and use it on the ceiling, although I do need a ladder and it does make my arm go to sleep after a while.
    I've read about resetting parts of the operating system, but I really don't like doing that because of the law of unexpected consequences.
    The words "glue" and "precision piece of electronic equipment", should not usually be used in the same sentence and are not natural companions, but in this case, now that I have the right thickness and position, I'll glue the band or a similar piece of foam to the inside of the compartment lid.  I expect a future Magic Mouse may have this built in as it is such a common issue.

  • Can anyone help with my broad band issue please?

    Hi all, I'm leaving this message here in desperation as I really don't know what else to do apart from cancel my contract with BT.
    I had broadband and a phone line installed on the 26th of May and though the phone line went live straight away, the broadband has not worked. An engineer visited, advised the issue was at the echange and late called my partner to see if the blue light on the hub had come on. She confirmed it had and the engineer than closed the call.
    I arrived home that evening to try and use the broadband and connected but the speed was abysmal.
    I then ran a speed test which informed me my download speed was 0.38mbps. Obviously this speed is not worth paying for.
    I called again to report the poor speed and was told an engineer would visit this morning between 8 and 1. My partner booked this time off from work but the engineer did not turn up. I spoke to the online service to report this and they said they could not see an appointment had been booked. I remembered to print off my previous online conversation with them and even quoted the reference number for the booking. They then said there was a technical issue at their end.
    They have rebooked for next Monday and unless they resolve it there and then I can't see any other option but to cancel the whole thing.
    I am so frustrated at the last of customer service and the fact I have to talk online to someone who is very apologetic but not able to help. I can't believe I can have a service installed on the 26th of last month and it still is not working!
    And the fact that my partner has twice booked half days for the engineer appointments is just bad luck?
    If anyone has any help or knows anyway to expedite the issue or speak to anyone with enough authority to log a complaint I'd be most grateful. Thank you

    from the speed can I assume that it was adsl (copper) and not fibre connection?
    which hub do you have?

  • Urgent help with WRT110 Wireless connection

    i have got this wireless router a few months ago.  since i have gotten it, i have only used hard wired to my desktop.  I got a laptop recently, running Vista. I am trying to setup using the wireless with WPA2 personal security.  However, i am not supposed get it to connect.  It told me unidentified network, and it's not going through to the global earth icon under "Network and Sharing Center". 
    Now, i have searched solution on google, this is not my first experience setting up wireless, i used to have a WRT54G wireless and it works fine. 
    Now i have tried all these procedure below:
    1) Open the setup page of the router and Under the Wireless tab,Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Also reduce the MTU to 1400 and click on save settings..Now,check.
    2) On all Vista and Win 7 computers, disable IPv6 under the LAN properties for the adapters.
    It still doesn't work.  Can anybody here help me with this issue? thanks alot

    Maybe this will help you but what I do with my adapters when installing is disabling my internet connection, firewall, virus and almost everything. I also turn the internet off then I instal the software. You can try that.cheapest voipcheapest voip callsOSU Beaversfree voip phone calls

  • Need help with Thin JDBC connecting Oracle to SQL server.

    I am fairly new to JAVA. We have ORACLE 8.1.7 running on Solaris 8. I have a need to
    periodically extract data from ORACLE DB and transfer it to SQL Server. I am limited to
    moving data from the ORACLE/UNIX environment to SQL Server side.
    From what I have read, Server-side Thin driver should work.
    1) Are there any issues in trying to achieve this with ORACLE running on the UNIX platform?
    2) Will the Server-side Thin driver talk to both the DBs ?
    3) Is it possible to provide some sample code ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Solomon

    Quattro,
    I had complete success in reading from Oracle and writing to SQL Server. First of all let me thank you for all your help. I do have one last request. Its more on optimization than any thing else.
    I was trying to optimize my code by grouping both the connections in one place and to keep my reads and inserts together so that I don't commit at the end of each insert etc. I don't seem to have the scope rules under control yet. Could you suggest how to improve this:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class Test_Combined2 {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
    // Load the Oracle JDBC driver
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
    // Connect to the database
    // You must put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
    // You can use either the fully specified SQL*net syntax or a short cut
    // syntax as <host>:<port>:<sid>. The example uses the short cut syntax.
    Connection con2 = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Test:1521:PSDEVElOP",
    "SOLOMON","SOL1");
    // Create a Statement
    Statement stmt2 = con2.createStatement ();
    String url = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://INTRADEV:1433;DatabaseName=Measure";
    Connection con;
    String query = "select dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate from tblYield " ;
    Statement stmt;
    try {
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
    } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
    System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
    System.err.print(e.getMessage());
    // Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
    ResultSet rset = stmt2.executeQuery ("select year_start, monthofyear, percent_comp " +
    " from ps_usm_ytd_yield ");
    // Iterate through the result and print the employee names
    while (rset.next ()) {
    System.out.println (rset.getFloat (3));
    int ps_dataYear = rset.getInt(1);
    int ps_dataMonth = rset.getInt(2);
    float ps_yieldRate = rset.getFloat(3);
    try{
    con = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "tmpuser","tmppush");
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    PreparedStatement insertTblYield;
    String insertString = "insert into tblYield " +
    " values(?, ?, ?)";
    //con.setAutoCommit(false);
    insertTblYield = con.prepareStatement(insertString);
    insertTblYield.setInt(1, ps_dataYear);
    insertTblYield.setInt(2, ps_dataMonth);
    insertTblYield.setFloat(3, ps_yieldRate);
    insertTblYield.executeUpdate();
    con.commit();
    //con.setAutoCommit(false);
    /*ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
    System.out.println("dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate");
    while (rs.next()) {
    int dataYear = rs.getInt(1);
    int dataMonth = rs.getInt(2);
    float yieldRate = rs.getFloat(3);
    System.out.println(" " + dataYear + ", " + dataMonth + ", " + yieldRate);
    stmt.close();
    con.close();
    } catch(SQLException ex) {
    System.err.print("SQLException: ");
    System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
    } //while
    stmt2.close();
    con2.close();
