How to clean mouse topside roller button?

Hi. My scroll button on the top of my wireless mouse isn't working very well. It doesn't really like to scroll down anymore. I clean it vigorously with a lint free cloth, but lately I have to do that a couple times an hour to be able to scroll down. Any suggestions on how to do a better job of cleaning it? It is about a year old.

  • How to make mouse button mute sound?

    The Apple mouse has a button on the top that I would like to use to Mute the sound. I can program a Logitech mouse to do it with Logitech drivers, but I don't know how hard it would be to get an Apple mouse to do it. I looked around for scripts/hacks... How could I make a mighty mouse Mute the system? I know there is a button on the keyboard if I could just tell the mouse button to mimic it.
    Thanks...

    There is an option to do this if you install the program "USB Overdrive", which allows you to customize the buttons on your mouse.

  • How to clean old Earlywatch reports in Solution Manager

    Hi,
    We are using SOLMAN 7.0 for EarlyWatch alerts, everything is fine and EarlyWatch is generating Reports weekly. Now i had a concern on how to clean these Early Watch reports once they are like month old, Does SAP Standard Jobs take care of this or do we need to schedule any job that removes EarlyWatch alerts older than certain period.
    Thanks

    Yes there is....
    In transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER, click onto the EarlyWatch Alert tab -> next to the create button there is a button that say DELETE. If you click onto that it will bring up all of your sessions which you can select to delete.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i make a clickable "button" that works in the PDF?

    I have a newsletter and want to make a button on a page that when clicked, will open the browser and go to that site. I see how to convert objects to a button and enter the URL in its properties but when I convert to a PDF, the entire object is missing. When converting to PDF, I also make sure that hyperlinks and interactive elements are both checked in the General section. I dont know what else I need to do!

    It is a colored square that was also grouped with a text box. I tried also ungrouping it and just putting the button effect on one or the other and had the same problem. When i look at the PDF, it has nothing there, whatever object i have the button effect applied to is totally deleted. I even tried clicking on the area where it was thinking maybe something was invisible and that didnt do anything either. There are no left over or hidden boxes there that could be covering things either. Im good about working cleanly and organized.
    Ill try doing this with a new document tomorrow and see what happens

  • Need Help: Wireless Mighty Mouse's Roller Ball Sluggish, Not Sensitive...

    Hello all.
    *I have followed Apple's Support Docu* to "hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware".
    But after I did that a few times, *my Mighty Mouse's rolling is still very sluggish, especially rolling/scrolling downwards, it is very in-sensitive, I almost have to push down the roller ball hard and scroll, then it will be effective.*
    *Any idea to fix this?* Or my mouse's "time is up"?
    Thanks and cheers

    Sure just needs cleaning. Get some Foam cleaner. Spray on tissue/cloth flip mouse upside down and scroll in the problematic direction for 2 mins.
    Add more foam cleaner to cloth and repeat until you have completed the points on a Compass.
    Its dirt and grease that causes that. Its a known design problem. A simple clean usually resolves for a few months and then you have to repeat again.
    ANY CHEAP FOAM CLEANER SPRAY WORKS FINE. as long as its for Computers.

  • Creating an interactive CV: mouse over / roll over pop ups, embedded documents and videos

    Hi everyone,
    I am pretty new to Adobe Acrobat Pro and new to this forum (1st post here!). Greetings from Spain... and apologies for grammar mistakes and misleading explanations (in advance). I have been checking this forum and googling quite a bit, but I do not get to many conclusions (maybe I sleep few due to our baby!).
    I want to create an interactive CV with the following characteristics:
    1) CV in 1 page in a PDF document (no problem here!)
    2) Hyperlinks in the text which open embedded files (pdf of others) hidden to the viewer but which are in the pdf document. Possible? (I want the recruiter to receive just one file). Even better if they could be open in another window (doubt it).
              How could it be done? I try add documents and they are attached at the end, so the original pdf gets to have more pages, all viewable.
    3) Furthermore, mouse over / roll over pop ups which show you a preview of the file you may open clicking the hyperlink, for a quick view of the content.
              I think that this may be done, but using other programs, like InDesign. I just try to add a document, but it's sort of a link to a document in my computer. I may add pdf, pps files.
    4) Even more, would it be possible to embed a video which would open in a new window? If not, I tried to add a link to youtube and there was a warning as "this program tries to open a window, if you trust the owner... " (similar safety message) and the very last thing I want the recruiter to have to decide whether to decide to watch it or not.
    I know its a questions in its very first stages, but the big point is to know if/what it is possible to do, so that I search in the right direction.
    If you have any idea or advice (even if not related to PDF pro, of course), just please let me know.
    Thanks a lot in advance. I hope this thread may help others.
    Cheers,
    tebanseeker

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks a lot for the input.
    (3) Right, I could not find either a way using just Acrobat Pro (I'm using XI). Sad thing that you confirm it... But it looks like you may do it using other programs on the PDF, but I don't know to use them. You may take a look at this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEyJuT8SSME (popup rollovers using Illustrator)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOVRMVdZbVE (popup rollovers using InDesign)
    (4) I think that embedding would make the file to big, so I may opt for the hyperlink to youtube option, even if I deeply dislike that message, although youtube is a reliable source for the viewer.
    Any other input is very welcome. I am pretty illiterate in the field!
    Have a nice weekend,

  • How to clean c5-00 camera lens inside and out

    Hi phoenixzurc,
    If there is dust under the camera lens, please take the device to Nokia Care point and ask if they can clean it. Trying to clean it yourself might void the warranty of the device and potentially damage it. If there is dust on the lens, you can try to clean it with dry cloth.

  • How to clean the back part of an iPod

    Any tips on how to clean the metalic back part of an iPod?

    The manual says:
    Important handling information
    Cleaning Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains—such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
    Disconnect all cables and turn iPod touch off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the onscreen slider).
    Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid getting moisture in openings.
    Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
    The front of iPod touch is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass. Abrasive media may also scratch iPod touch.
    Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

    Sanjeev:
    Maybe you can help. I haven't been able to resolve this one "small" problem which is preventing me from rolling out iWS6.0 SP2. I created a new instance of the server using "Add Server" so that I have 2 Web sites (e.g. test1.domain.com and test2.domain.com), but the 2nd server instance is pointing to the same HTML location as the first (i.e. http://test2.domain.com takes you to the same location as http://test1.domain.com). What do I need to change and where to fix this? Need a VERY quick answer to this to implement a production Web server. I've tried the suggestions made so far (see: http://softwareforum.sun.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=181&RPAGEID=135&HOID=50B500000008000000966A0000&UCATEGORY_0=_23_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=server+instances&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0) but nothing has resolved this problem.

  • Specific region mouse over effect(Button 1 fades out and Button 2 fades in).

    Dear All -
    I am new to Flash CS5 and building Flash navigation bar with buttons on it.
    Below is my problem description that I want to solve with your help.
    I have a rectangular bar and placed one small button(Button 1) on this bar. Also, I have similar button(Button 2) with some graphics on it which is of similar size as to previous Button 1.
    Button 1 - Without graphic.
    Button 2 - With graphic on it.
    What I want is that, whenever mouse is taken over Button 1 placed on the rectangular bar, it should fade out and simultaneously Button 2 should fade in. I want only button region to be sensitive to this mouse over effect and not the complete rectangular bar.
    Kindly let me know how can I define the specific region(button region only) to be sensitive to mouse over effect in flash, and how to place Button 1 and Button 2 in layers so that both are at the same positition(so that there is no displacement of button detected).
    Thank You,
    Saurabh Khanna.

    Hello -
    Thank you for the reply. Button 1 does not have glowing effect, whereas Button 2 has a glowing effect. So what I wanted is that when initially Button 1 is loaded during page load, when I mouse over Button 1, Button 1 would fade out and Button 2 sitting behind Button 1 would automatically look like fade in(due to gradual fad out of Button 1 on top of Button 2).
    I could do this now, and would like to Thank you for your reply.
    I did this by creating movie clip on "Over" event of Button 1 and changing its Alpha property. But now what I want is how to gradually fade out, means when I remove my mouse from over button, then Button 2 should fade out gradually which will automatically make Button 1 fade in gradually.
    I could not find the "Out" event just like we have "Over" event for Button, so I assume this can only be done using ActionScript somehow.
    Let me know if I am going correct with my assumption, and possibly if you could help me achieve the remaining half(fading out gradually when mouse is removed from the button).
    Thank You once again for your reply.
    Thank You,
    Saurabh Khanna.

  • How to hidden mouse pointer?

    When mouse moves inside Frame, how to hidden mouse pointer?
    Thanks,
    Quinten

    It depends on what you mean. If you want to make the cursor invisible, here is one way of doing it:
                ImageIcon emptyIcon = new ImageIcon(new byte[0]);
                Cursor invisibleCursor = getToolkit().createCustomCursor(
                    emptyIcon.getImage(), new Point(0,0), "Invisible");
                frame.getContentPane().setCursor(invisibleCursor);Note that even though the cursor is invisible it will still be a cursor, i.e. you can click on buttons etc.
    Or do you want to disable the cursor completely?

  • HOW TO FIND OUT HOW TO CLEAN PRINTHEADS

    HP OFFICE JET 4620.....   HOW DO I FIND WHERE & HOW TO CLEAN THE PRINT HEADS, DEEP CLEANING, ETC?

    Hello @Musiclady1,
    I would like to assist you today with cleaning the Printheads on your HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
    How to Clean the Printheads:
    Load plain, white U.S. letter or A4 size paper in the input tray.
    On the printer control panel, press the Setup icon ().
    Press the button () next to the Down Arrow () until Tools displays next to OK.
    Press the button next to OK to select Tools, and then press the button next to the Down Arrow () until Clean Printhead displays next to OK.
    Press the button next to OK to clean the printheads. The printer cleans the printheads and then prints a test page.
    Evaluate the test page for print quality.
    - Source
    If the print quality is still not satisfactory, you can run another Printhead cleaning. You may need to run up to three Printhead cleans to resolve a quality issue. Because ink is used during the cleaning process, if three cleans has not resolved the issue I would not proceed with additional cleans as you would just be wasting ink.
    Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Best of luck!

  • Mighty Mouse's side buttons too sensitive...

    Hi there,
    Every two seconds, the fonction of the side button gets activated because I press them by mistake... It's been two weeks and I still hit them by mistake.
    How do I make the Mighty Mouse's side buttons less sensitive?
    Thanks!
    Chris.

    for me it's actually static that makes the side buttons operate all on their own just if my hand is barely touching. i don't have this problem when i'm on tile flooring with my new iMac, but in my bedroom on carpet, the mouse and computer act weird becasue of dry climate and static. if i keep my hand on the metal base of the imac i have no problems. as soon as i remove my hand, problems. i'm now working on grounding my computer but that hasn't worked yet. i need to be de-static in some way i think.
