MOUSE Loses Power When SCROLL WHEEL is used, power back up when CLICK SCROLL WHEEL. FRUSTRATING.

Whenever I scroll using the scroll wheel with this Belkin USB MOUSE my mouse loses POWER and becomes unresponsive.  It only regains power when the SCROLL WHEEL IS CLICKED.  It works perfectly on other hardware so I know that it's this TOSHIBA LAPTOP or an UPDATE thatis the PROBLEM.   I do NOT use the touchpad because they are inferior to mice when working with graphics.  Is there some kind of conflict here?  How do I PERMANENTLY disable the touchpad--it's completely and utterly useless to me compared to a mouse and just makes me angry and I really want to be able to use the scroll wheel on the MOUSE without it turning on and off and on and off and on and off.  This is a very recent issue that hasn't plagued me until recently maybe within a week or two. Note when this happens it flips between the synaptics touchpad and the mouse for CURRENT SELECTED INPUT DEVICE, regardless of WHETHER OR NOT I have it set to disable touchpad when usb device is plugged in, so I don't need to try that step. Thanks! 

I haven't heard of the scroll wheel issue anywhere else (mine is fine), but the blank picture issue is known.
Myself and many others have experienced it, definitely a software bug.

  • Can i retrieve a video once i have pressed restore factory settings? My iphone used to back up when i synched it?

    I had a video of my uncle (who passed three days ago) on my old iphone. I used to synch my iphone on my windows computer and it would 'back up'. I 'restored factory settings' when i gave the iphone to my brother when i got a new one. I would really really love to be able to get this video back as it means a lot now my uncle has passed and we no longer have to opportunity to make more. Can anyone help?

    If it is not on PhotoStream and you did not backup, it is gone.

  • I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

    I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
    Thank you.

    That is probably OK.<br />
    You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
    If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

  • When I try to use Notes - Back to Home Screen

    I can open the NOTES application on my 32gb 3Gs, but when I click to view one of the notes, I am taken back to the HOME screen.
    I have done a reboot, no effect.
    Just got the iPhone less than a week ago.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    The next step is restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Notes are included with your iPhone's backup but can also be synced with a supported application on your computer. With a Mac this can be with the Mail.app, and with Windows this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007.
    If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup with the notes included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from your iPhone's backup will also restore the problem, but try this first.
    If no change after restoring from your iPhone's backup, restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

  • Mouse goes crazy periodically, new browser pages open at back, cannot left click

    I thought it was the mouse, but new batteries, and then a new mouse didn't change things. Restarting fixes it for awhile.  (13" MacBook Pro with retina display - late 2013).

    I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml 
    I'm assuming this is a static web site.  Rename (F2) all your pages with .html or .htm extension. 
    .xhtml is not a valid extension.

    i am new in java so i have some problems, but thanks for helping me.
    please help me again.
    as i have already posted another probleme which i have with selecting 1000 rows 1 by 1 from a table & manipulate 1 by 1 on that and then store all manipulated row to another table.
    when i tried to do so i am able to select only 600 rows and manipulate them & store them.

  • I am getting electric current type shocks whilst using my track pad on my macbook pro. This happens when it is both plugged in to charge and also unplugged. I am left with a constant type pain of prickly pins and needles even when I am not using it.

    I have recently bought a Macbook pro and have noticed that I am getting an electric current running up my fingers when using the track pad. This happens when it is charging but most worryingly it happens when it is not plugged in. It leaves me with pins and needles type feeling in my hand and arm even when I am not using it. Also when I sit it on my lap I get the same electrical current in my legs and down to my feet.
    Surely this cannot be what I should expect with an apple product?, has anyone else experienced this?.
    Yesterday I couldn't bare to use it the current was so strong.  I went out for the rest of the day and suffered with pins and prickly needles all day.

    Two possible courses of action suggest themselves:
    (1) Return your computer immediately to point of purchase and/or authorized service provider.
    or
    (2) Consult with your doctor about your neurological symptoms.

  • Touchpad (Synaptics) scrolling with two finger gesture is smooth only after scrolling in IE9 before (Firefox 8/9/10 Windows 7 (64)).

    First I got the problem solved that 2-finger-gesture scrolling did not work at all: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/895816. Thanks for that!
    With "smooth scrolling" turned on in the options, touchpad gesture scrolling is smooth in FF9 but only in 5-line-steps. No stopping in between possible. If touchpad scrolling is performed in IE9 once, scrolling in FF9 is completely smooth afterwards. If the gesture is perfomed once in Google Chrome 16 scrolling in FF9 is turned back to 5-step-scrolling. Chrome 16 and IE9 can be used to turn off and on the completely smooth scrolling in FF9!

    Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check

  • Magic Mouse Disconnecting When Closing MacBook Pro Using External Display

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am trying to use it in sleep mode with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Everything appears to be connected fine. When I close the lid on my MacBook, I click my mouse and the external display comes on for a few seconds, then it cuts out and doesn't come back. I have the Bluetooth device can wake the computer up from sleep checked. When I have the MacBook open, the external display works fine. I only lose the external display a few seconds after I close the lid on my MacBook Pro.
    I have made the Magic Mouse and keyboard favorites and it didn't help.
    Does anyone have any idea? I am running 10.6.8.
    Thanks

    GaryKing, can you review how you reset the .plist files for both the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
    I had nothing but good things to say about the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, until I hooked up my 22' Samsung display to my MBP. Power shouldn't be an issue because it's being plugged into the outlet and the external monitor isn't taking power from the MBP. However, my keyboard will keep popping up with the notice "Connection Lost" every 5 or so minutes. Even now, I'm already on the next paragraph but the letters are slowly coming up one by one - it's not registering as fast.
    The mouse experienced the same issue if I'm downloading a lot of files, it will lag behind to the point where I'll drag the mouse to where I want it to be, then a few seconds later it'll pop up where it should, that's how bad the lag is. I thought perhaps restarting the computer will do, but no, and also everything is up-to-date so there are no updates to worry about.
    GaryKing, if you can go over how you reset the .plist files, that would be much appreciated. By the way, it's past a week since your post, how have the Bluetooth devices been working? Did the reset solve the lag issue permanently, or was is just a temporary fix?
