HT3078 When I opened up my Apple Wireless Mouse to replace the batteries, there was a metallic "strip" inside. I have no idea how it goes back in and it isn't shown in the instructions here. Where does it go?

I have an Apple Wireless Mouse (model A1015 EMC No. 1938).
I metal "strip" fell out. I can not figure out how to put the strip back in.
Leaving it out, the mouse doesn't work (no light, no nothing).
Does the strip actually belong and if so, where does it go?
I went to the Apple site and looked up how to replace the batteries and started off saying to turn off the mouse. I have no idea how to turn off the mouse. It also did not show a metal strip on the inside.
When I opened the mouse, the battery cover popped off. Without the metal strip, the cover does not pop off and is very hard to remove.
HELP!!!

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

    somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
    What does iTunes have to do with this?   Also more specific information might be helpful.
    What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
    Where are you being asked to select a library?  What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
    What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

  • I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

    Hello everyone,
    This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
    I'm new to FCPX.
    I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
    How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
    How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

    I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
    By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
    FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
    I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
    glitch remains.
    Can you please tell me:
       a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck?  ... and
       b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

    At some point yesterday all of my saved clips from a large project adopted the "Rejected" classification and lost the "Favorite" designation that I spent the better part of one week selecting. I have no idea how this happened, I surely did not intentionally designate all my shots as Rejects, but I'm wondering if there is any way to remove the Reject designation and recover my "Favorites"? Not that it helps, but it certainly seems there should be a warning message before FCP X does something so radical. Anyone know how can I can fix this? Thanks

    Do you use Time Machine? You should be able to just go back in time on the project file, right? If you don't use Time Machine, you should. A 2 TB external USB hard drive is around $113 at Amazon.com. You just plug it in and tell Time Machine to use it and you're done.
    You can Select All in the Event and then click ont he grey star next to the green star to remove the Rejected status on all clips, but that won't restore your Favorites. You need to revert your project file to a backup.

  • How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    Thank you!  I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it.  After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up.  I think Apple delights in making people look stupid.  Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself.  Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved.  The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then.  I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
    I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.

  • My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

    My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

    Hi Malky H.,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
    Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
    You can find this information here:
    OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
    Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

  • Anybody using an Apple wireless mouse on the Mac Mini ?

    Just bought the bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard for my new Mac mini core due. The performance of the wireless mouse is disappointing. I believe the timing gap between the hand movement with the cursor movement on the screen is far too long so it is difficult to control the mouse smoothly. I have been using radio type wireless mouse on other PCs and the Apple wireless mouse is the worst mouse I have ever used. Don't know whether anybody here has smiliar experience. Any recommendation to retify or improve this?? I'm happy with the new Mac mini though, and the wirelss keyboard is only okay ( it loses connection with the Mac occassionally even in short distance).

    I had a same trouble in my Core Duo 1.66. I posted the same message in Apple Japan Discussions. There is no reply. Then, I checked U.S. Discussions and find your message.
    First, I think a low battery issue in Apple wireless mous, but not. The mous was working for Mini G4. I asked replacement the Mini, then I got another new one. It had the same trouble.
    I found It depends on a distance between Mini and the mous.
    <30cm, it worked perfect.
    <div class="jive-quote">30, <50cm, it did not work anytime, cursor movement was not smooth.
    1m, it did not work smooth, every time cursor was skipping on the monitor.</div>
    I tried it on two new Minis. Mini G4, it works perfectly even it is >5m.
    I believe that it is bletooth issue.
    Could you check the distance dependance between Mini and the mous.
    Finally, I returned the Core Duo 1.66 and refund. If This issue is solved, New Mini performance will be good enough for me.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
    It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
    Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

    Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
    Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
    [1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
    [2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
    [3] Switch to advanced mode.
    [4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
    [5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
    [6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
    [7] Make a note of the IP address
    Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
    Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
    [8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
    [9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
    Code: 
    ssh [email protected]
    [10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
    [11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
    Code: 
    wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
    [12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
    Code: 
    sh install_netatalk.sh
    [13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
    [14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

    all of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.
