I lost mouse operation all together. on my G5 DP 1.8

I work with a logitech wireless trackball and keyboard that I've had for quite a while, say 9 months maybe 10. They have been flawless, but today, thought the keyboard is working fine, the mouse seemed a little sluggish so I decided to look at the logitech controls and saw the trackball was low on batteries, I put a new one in and sudddenly absolutely no mouse.keyboard seems fine, but no cursor control whatsoever. I cant say this is conclusive, but I decided to try and see if maybe there was a USB port malfunbction so in oeder to do so I connected my treo and ran a sync procedure, it didnt take, so now I'm thinking it's a USB issue. Just for fun I booted with the OS CD and the mouse did not come back to life, further enforcing the possibility of a hardware issue. Anyone know of a hardware issue with the USB ports that would allow the keyboard to function but not the mouse? I unfortunateelly do not have the OEM wired mouse anymore, so I cant check it that way, but I think I'll go to the apple store tomorrow and see if I can at least get wired opewration, but I'd love to find out if this is a common issue and if there is a fix I can do, or if I won the lottery and had my first ever mac hardware issue that forces me to take the computer to a tech.

I feel very foolish, I had indeed gonne through the routine of presssing the mouse and the keyboard buttons with no response, but I totally forgot the receiver has a button, duhhh. All is well now, I thank you as you saved me some undue agravation.

  • HT4910 I accidentally deleted my AppleID off of one device and it deleted my account all together.

    I deleted my AppleID off of one device and it deleted my account all together on every device. Have I lost all of the apps on my devices if I create a new account and sign in using my devices? Or is there a way to get back the deleted account?

    What, exactly, did you do to "delete" your ID off of your device? Where did you delete it? What you do on one device has no effect on any other device, unless you are talking about changing your Apple ID or something along those lines. So we need to know what you mean by "deleted" it, and what you did to do that.

  • Is it possible to download files individually ,instead of all together, while selecting multiple files to download.

    i want to download multiple files , but some of the files are very large and i don't want to sit at my computer all day waiting to unpause or pause downloads so that the files will download faster . i was wondering if there was a option to download files individually instead of all together. when they download together it can sometimes cause problems because my internet will restart and go to a slower data speed at different times of day. this causes files to be incomplete sometimes and sometimes have to be started over completely. so is it possible to have a downloading list that manages itself and puts downloads on hold until a previous file downloads?

    You are probably limited by the speed of your download line. Consider possibly doing this overnight. The speed may be faster off peak and you will be able to leave the computer unattended.
    Any possibility of getting compressed versions of the files to download ? Alternatively consider looking for specialised download management software. You could even probably use your Operating System and schedule the tasks with that.

  • My ipod is skipping songs on its own and then it just stops playing all together.... any suggestions on how to fix it

    i noticed that my ipod touch has been skipping songs on its own. it starts on one song then itll play the next then skip 4-10 songs then stop all together. ive tried resetting my ipod but it seems to do nothing. i need help please???

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Firefox 5.0 freezes and impacts mouse operations

    I am running Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Frequently during the day, the (or a) Firefox window will freeze (won't finish loading, can't scroll up/down, sometimes just empty, etc.). When this happens, the mouse operation is often impacted as well. This morning something kept "eating" mouse clicks and then all of a sudden the accumulated mouse clicks just starting firing at will. This all just started happening with 5.0. Before that, perfect. It is driving me nuts because Firefox is faster than IE9, but I have to use IE9 because it works without problems. Does any have any thoughts or suggestiong?

    I have the same problem. It freezes often and it takes something like 30 seconds or more to start working again (stops being frozen and in most cases works fine without a restart but it's extremely irritating!)

  • When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

  • I imported pics to catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. Can I merge cats and will new path to source files be correct if when inporti

    I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog?  Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file?  If not, how or can this be done?
    I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can.  Do you understand my situation?
    This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with.  If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer?  I really need help.  PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

    Is there any solution (other than buying
    I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one.  Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    Use externals and network drive only for backup.

  • I have multiple chat clients and want to link them all together.

    I have iMessage, Yahoo!, Gtalk, Facebook, and Skype. I want a good client to link them all together. I also want the abiity to add other IM services to the client at a later time if I need to.

    Then there is nothing more anyone here can do for you if you searched all the places I mentioned in my previous post. 

  • Can I move/rescale more than one still image all together, when they will all use the same parameter

    Okay, basically, I like to make small, simple movies for my DVD menus.  I make these with premiere CS5.5.  They are just a series of stills as a slide show, with appropriate music.  What makes these so time consuming is this:  I have maybe twenty pics, which I take from MovieMaker as this is quick, simple, and they are not too large (and I dont know how to take pics in premiere, but you can tell me if you like!).  However, they are placed by default in the centre, and I need them a bit to one side to make space for the DVD buttons.  Also, still a bit big so maybe reduce to 90 percent.  I presume they are basically JPEGS even though moviemaker calls them something else.  So, I have to highlight each pic individually, open the motion thingy, rescale, and enter new figures in the position fields.  Not a big issue as such, but I have to do it for each one and put my self at risk of repetitive strain injury!  Can I do them all at once?  Is there a way?  Bearing in mind I want them all same size and position, so exactly the same parameters.  First time, I thought EASY!! I will just group them all together and do it in one!  Guess what?  Grouping disables the scale/reposition facility.  Grouping seems to be merely an aid for dragging things together on the timeline.  Just a simple linking process.  Photoshop lets me link layers in this kind of way, but also has the group facility that is more serious, and lets you do transforming and all sorts, treating it as one object.  Is there a premiere equivalent of 'group into smart object'?  I suppose what I am asking is relevent to clips as well as pics, and other facilities apart from scaling and moving.  So, if you want to do the SAME process with the SAME parameters to SEVERAL parts of the project, is there a way?  Or does it have to be one by one?  I cant find a way apart from rendering and reimporting which wouldn't save a lot of time anyway.  Thanks. HOWARD
    PS if there is a 'snapshot' facility in premiere, please tell me how, and is it necessary to copy the footage and take the pics from the copy?  I have always done this with moviemaker as I discovered that once snapshots were taken, it did (sometimes) damage the frame of the footage, Hence I make a copy to use for pic-picking! 

    I completey agree with Jim Simon's suggestion regarding a Premiere Pro solution. I think however I would choose to do it in Photoshop with a script - Record the following actions and then you can apply that action to selected images or even more handy, all photos in a folder:
    Image / Size (to start exactly the pixel H x W you want for the image)
    Image / Canvas size (for example anchor right or left, adjust width larger than current image, canvas extension color = black, etc.)

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck

  • When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated!

    When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.
