Mighty mouse acting up (now there's a surprise...) Please help.
I've had this USB mouse since March 07 - so I know all about the problems, how to clean the track ball etc - and on the whole it's been okay so long as I serviced it regularly. But now it's acting up in a different way.
Today the primary (left) button wouldn't work and had instead 'become' the secondary button. So I checked the settings in System Prefs and they were all okay. I cleaned the mouse. No difference. I reset the permissions (read somewhere that is can have an effect). Still nothing. Turned off the Mac. Unplugged everything. Fired it all up again. Same problem. Fiddled around with System Prefs again and found that if I turn off the trackball button, set left button to primary and right button to secondary, I get the primary button function back again (but secondary button does not work). I can get secondary button function by Ctrl+click (like the old days).
Any ideas before I shell out 35 quid for a new one? BTW, I plugged in a seven year old Dell USB mouse and it works perfectly.
PS. Mighty Mouse is stylish and neat but has never been trouble free like most other makes. Such a shame.
Not so Mighty huh? Back to the drawing board. Perhaps someone else can help.

Hello, my mac book air won't update. Every time i try it goes onto the purple starry screen and stays that way for hours, so i just have to shut it down. I have deleted a lot on my laptop so there is enough space, please help?
I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might. -
Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new one? Thanks.
Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new ipad2? Thanks.
If you have a pc, when you plug your iPad in you should see the windows pop up window offering to backup the photos. Do that and it will save all your photos and videos to your computer where you can then sync them back to your new one.
If the pop up doesn't come up, double click on my computer and navigate your way to the iPad. Double cick on it an d navigate to the DCIM folder. Drag your photos and videos to your pc, then sync them back onto your iPad. -
My iPad has been erased. I am not be able to find the prevues owner to use the iCloud account to activate my iPad. If there is a way please help me.
No, there isn't. If possible return it to whomever you purchased it from and get your money back. Otherwise, you have a very expensive paperweight that is of no use to you.

Hello, The procedure above doesn't work. Regardless the options I choose, it doesn't allow to proceed without a credit card number. The option not to select a credit card is not there. Can you please help?
Read the steps in the support article from which you came carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
If you are certain you're following the steps exactly as given and are creating a new Apple ID and still have problems, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I am unable to access information from the internet as I am unable to install the lastest adobe flash player that is now required. Can you please help?
I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar. -

i cant change my sercurity question and answers
i forgot it and now i cant verify it
please help meBy can't change them do you mean that you don't have a rescue email address set up on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 ?
If you don't (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -

Hello there, Ark.
It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
