How do I keep crumbs out of my Mighty Mouse?

I keep getting crumbs in the little scroll ball and then it won't scroll.
How do I remedy this?

I think a handheld vacuum attached to your desk (inlet facing the mouse) might work. Just turn it on while your eating. That should just suck up all those crumbs before they can get into the mouse. Or just use a napkin before you touch the mouse.
I kinda have the same problem with my MX Revolution. I occassionaly have to vacuum it out but the holes and crevices are larger than the Mighty Mouse, so it is a little easier.

HT4721 How do I zoom in/out if using a mouse?

Recently upgraded to Lion. I keep accidentially clicking somehow on the mouse and the opened application zooms in. What am I doing and how do I zoom out? Thanks.

It's probably the smart zoom feature of the magic mouse. A Double tap with one finger will zoom.
Double tap until it unzooms. You can turn the feature off in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab > Smart zoom.

How to permanently change the name of my Mighty Mouse?

Hi guys,
I used to have an Apple Wireless mouse which I named as "my full name". I then upgraded to the Mighty Mouse and went into the Bluetooth preferences to change the Mouses name to "My first name only" It works for a few days but then my old name keeps appearing when I click on the Bluetooth symbol in the top right corner of the desktop bar.
I cannot figure out how to permanently change the name without it changing back anywhere from a day later to a week later. It's strange.
Any suggestions?

i will try to help u out. i have a might mouse as well.
glad u posted this...forgot there is a battery meter in there for the batteries! (buy rechargeable if u havent already).
well try this..instead of going into mouse preference...just click the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen (i have mine set to show). click the bluetooth tab. then change the name. close the pref pane.
see how long it lasts. i just changed my name....so we shall c

[SOLVED]How do I keep LibreOffice out of the upgrade?

Hi,
Simple question:
What info do I consult so that my OpenOffice does not get replaced with libreOffice?
Or is LibreOffice nothing to be afraid of?
Tnx

What's wrong with spending 10 minutes googling for libreoffice
Nothing, and I have googled more than the average ten minutes (even Yahoo! and Youtube) - but, what's wrong with asking an opinion?
And hey, maybe I'll learn somethng here too...
I was somewhat surprised by LibroOffice being "sprung" on me and just wanted to sniff out the mood about it...
Promise: I'll keep it "kleen" and mark the thread as solved appropriatly.
And @ Cosmin : thanks, that was the ray-of-hope I looked for...marking this as solved

How can I keep audio out to my speakers?

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I have external speakers, and they work great. The only problem is that I can configure them to the line out area in the sound control panel, but, they seem to have a mind of their own, and will allow the computer to switch back to the internal speakers, either when I shut down, or I go to another program that doesn't use the sound. Any way to insure that the line out stays as my option?
Thank you.

Hmm... not a bad idea! I even checked and apparently an ATI Radeon 7000 supports video-out. Gonna see if I can get one for cheap - maybe on ebay. This will work fine with Panther or Tiger?
I've even considered buying a PC version of a Radeon card and flashing it to work with my G4, but that is very sketchy, even for me.
Will let you know how this turns out. Any other ideas are welcome

The not very expensive but also discontinued ATI
Radeon 8500 Mac Edition AGP card has VGA DVI and
S-Video out. Maybe you could try to find a used one
on the market... I bough one through other world
computing within the last year for not very much...
Just an idea.

Go to Mail -> Preferences, click Accounts, then Mailbox Behaviors. For each one of your accounts (if you have more than one), uncheck *Show notes in Inbox*.

How do i keep inturders out

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Input 192.168.1.1 into your browser. A box will show up asking for your username & password. Leave username blank and use admin as your password if you did not change it when installing router. Click on Wireless and set up SSID and click on save (do not use Linksys). Now click on wireless security. Use dropdown menu to find wpa personal. Select tkp or aes. make up passphrase then click on save.
Now find your network name in wireless network in each wireless computer and click on the name then click on connect. If this does not work you will have to input all the info from your router.

My Mighty Mouse wont come out and play!

This is really not a new topic but an old problem for which I have yet to find an answer. I have a new iMac 27” i7 on which I have installed Windows XP Home Edition. I can’t get the Mighty Mouse to work.
I have tired a number of solutions. I have gone through the Windows trouble shooting process and not found anything wrong except that the mouse still doesn’t work. I have reinstalled the Bootcamp drivers from the Snow Leopard OS DVD but that did nothing.
All this has entailed a lot of exploration and exposition for me in the Windows wilderness and I have been able to identify the point at which my mouse refuses to come out of its hole.
In Windows when I go into the Control Panel/Printers and other Hardware/Bluetooth devices a window opens with two pale icons, one is the keyboard and the other the mouse. The Keyboard icon is identified as “passkey enabled” and “connected”. The mouse is identified as “enabled” but there is no connected entry. When I highlight the mouse icon, click on Properties and click on the Services tab a touch appears and looks for and finds a check box labelled “Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)”.
When I check this box and click either “OK” or “Apply” a window opens titled “Bluetooth Service Error” telling me that “Access is denied”.
Denied! Denied! Windows XP is behaving like my best friends mother telling me her son has a cold and I can't come over to play and he can't come out.
So how do I get this best friend (my Mighty Mouse) to come out and play in Windows XP?

Thanks Barry
I remember trying this download earlier in the year and getting nowhere. Still I gave it another shot.
I downloaded the update "AppleBcUpdate.exe" from the link
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3934
and tried to install it in Windows.
As the link you directed to me explained it is possible to get the following message "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed".
Well that put an end to that little idea.
It wouldn't install and the link didn't explain how to get around this message. The link also suggested that you should see if the drivers were correctly installed. I figured if the update wouldn't install it was because the drivers were already there. So I followed the instructions - Start menu/All Programs/Accessories/Systems Tools/Systems Information/Software Environment/(+) and looked for the drivers.
The link said that the Apple Built-in Bluetooth should be version 3.0.0.9. It was. It also said that the Apple Wireless Mouse driver should be version 3.0.0.5. Well there was no such driver.
This download was dated Oct 28th. My machine was bought in late Dec and has Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 so perhaps this version of Snow Leopard has Bootcamp drivers that supersedes this update.
Who know?
Anyway the problem remain.
I have a young friend who has just bought the small version iMac and I helped him install Windows XP using Bootcamp. He also can't use his mouse.
I should also correct myself at this point. I called my mouse "Mighty Mouse" when it should of course be "Magic Mouse". Well what do you expect I'm old. In my day there was only one mouse and his name was Mickey.

How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

Here's the issue. Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods. We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set. BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off! How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me?? In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked? What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else. And ask me to turn on wi fi. How and can this even be done? Right now my d text is turned off completely. And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself. On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again! HELP! Thanks :) Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

Someone keeps putting my iPhone into lost mode in my other cloud account, and I keep getting out. How do I switch the cloud account to this one, so they won't be able to do it again

Well, for the last week someones been putting my iPhone constantly in lost mode using my apple account and I keep getting out because I know my own password. I want to change the password but two other people I know use it, (who definetly wouldn't do this), someone else probably got ahold of the account and is spamming the phones into lost mode. I'm not in lost mode currently by the way. This repetition is really a hassle for me because I'm not always connected to the internet to get out of the lost mode, a few days ago, I went on a 12 hour flight and both my apple devices were probably put into the lost mode and I wasn't able to use my iPhone or iPad to do work and entertainment purposes. I was literally sitting there for 12 hours! So now that you sat through my problem, which I thank you for greatly, how do I switch apple/cloud accounts on my devices so this won't happen again? I hope you can give my solution, if there is one out there, and thank you in advance for atleast trying to solve my problem.

The only way this can happen is with access to your id and password

Do you also connect the external USB drive to the AC power as well while you use it ?
Sometimes USB external drive problems are resolved simply by plugging them into the mains power and trying again.

You cannot. If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

How can I keep a bean alive forever through out the live of container

I want to load some important information from DB (which takes long time to calculate) into memory at the start of the app and refresh it periodically and keep it in memory for all jsp/servlets to use.
- Environment Tomcat / JDK 1.5x
I was able to do that and keep it alive as long as the app is active, but if the app is idle for a period of time some how the bean is thrown out of memory and when user acceses the page it connects to the DB again. (I have logic that if the contents of bean is empty get it from DB and keeping the data as a hashtable). I am using scope=application in all jsp's that access this bean.
Any thoughts ?? or any other way to do this (I am almost ready to write to file after long testing...) Please help.
- Ravi

You're welcome.
I think you need to define it in web.xml , as mentioned in this thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=479858
It's written better on this thread:

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name
