Mouse not functioning and really need it!

Hi,
Earlier today my wireless mouse stopped tracking... It still scrolls and clicks but does not move.I can see it on the screen and for some reason I can highlight some text that is near it - as if it's invisible, and the one that is on screen is not the actual mouses position. One other thing to note is I can occasionally get it to jolt a little bit by g he mouse on the desk. If anyone can help it would be great as i need to complete some work by the morning and am getting concerned now.
Thanks,
Martyn

I've been banging my mouse on the desk these days, too. Almost every single time, lately, when I'm in a browser (Firefox or Safari), when I click on a link, it opens a box with a drop down menu giving me choices to open the link in a different tab, a different window, copy the link, etc., etc. If I bang it on the desk, that usually clears it up for the one time. I should say I've also been using "Magic Prefs" and perhaps that could be the problem. Any chance you're using MagicPrefs, too?
I'm beginning to get pretty ticked off. It's slowing me down big time. I'll try uninstalling MagicPrefs...

In testing 9 and X, "Compare Docs" we have a critical issue and really need help!

For years we have used Acrobat 7 to do PDF compares and we love it! However, the company recently advised we must upgrade to 9 and then eventually to X. In testing 9 and X, Compare Docs we have a critical issue and really need help. Our PDFs are produced by IT in a batch process and one of our main, critical functions is to compare previous PDFs to current PDFs; however, in using 9 the Compare screen automatically sets the Doc Description for our PDFs to "Scanned Doc" and does not produce any differences! If you try to change the setting to Reports --it totally shuts down both documents without running! Version 7 runs the compare of the same PDFs beautifully, pointing out all the differences, as usual! Has this every happen to anyone? Do you know what we can do to our PDFs to allow version 9 to do the compare and produce results? Why is 9 treating these non-scanned PDF docs as such? Thanks so much for any help or insight you can give me on this issue!

Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

Hey everyone,
I had the same problems all of you are having. I
just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
notebook card which didn't work either and actually
seemed to make the problem worse because when I
connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
an older version of the ipod software. I used his
disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
the new version of the software on the Apple Web
site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
of the software is faulty in some way.
Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
need an older version of the iPod updater software,
so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

Hello Damyanology,
If your enter key is not working but you have to use it, you can bring up the on screen keyboard, and that will allow you to use enter.
Here is a link to open the on screen keyboard.
Go into device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should reinstall the driver to correct the problem.
Here is a link to uninstall in device manager.
Let me know if this helps.

You need to contact iTunes support. We are users here just like you and would have no idea why it isn't working. At the bottom of the iTunes Store page in iTunes there is a contact link.

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Apple can't/won't help you.
You need to contact your carrier.

Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

Keyboard and Mouse Not Functioning

Hello folks,
I have a T60. Once Windows loads up, the internal keyboard and mouse do not function. They function before Windows loads (in Bios config, etc.) and the keys to turn on the spotlight work. An external USB keyboard and mouse work perfectly.
As far as I know, this is completely random. It's driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris

Chris, welcome to the forum,
did the advice in the other thread you posted in yesterday not help? There is a link to a possible solution in another thread here. You need to feed the boards with information; especially what you've tried, but didn't work - members get hungry
What happens in safe mode? Does the keyboard et al work as expected? Have you tried deinstalling them in safe mode through device manager and then restarting?
Thanks

I have an iPod Nano 7th generation, and I keep getting an error saying that iTunes could not recognize my device. I have tried nearly everything,except I don't have admin rights on the computer, and really need help.

I've tried a lot to get it to work, even using a new charger and putting it into Disk Mode. I really need help. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks.

Hi Dawson777,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're receiving the message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly" when you connect your iPod nano to your PC. You have tried some good troubleshooting steps already, and you may want to review the additional steps in this article:

Creating Recover Disc - HP Pavilion 17 - I'm a novice at this and really need support

I downloaded information and directions for doing this procedure from the HP website. I have a couple of questions to clarify some of my concerns.
1. Using dvd - is the writable dvd the same one you would use for burning videos or different?
2. I just now learned that this procedure should have been done right after I purchased the computer. The only information I have on my PC are my emails. I have not bought any software yet. Just have the factory installed stuff. My question regarding this is in the article that states it will not save all software but you can save software to a system image using windows 8 to crate a system image. I have instructions to do that but ned opions on whether I shuld just do it for only my files emails) or do it for drivers, windows, system settings programs files: . It also states the following which is very confusing to me that HP recovery restores the software image to its original condition. Any software that was installed later is removed when you perform an HP recovery. Does this mean if I do the HP recoveering first that I will lose my emails as well as the favorites bar that I have created for ease of connecting to important websites without typing in the address. It was created for me and is installed with my verizon internet provider screen.
3. I have an ALERT stating that windows 8 update hangs at 12% 13% 14% or 15%. This alert appeared on the HP Product detection/HP warranty results website and also another website that I don't remeber. What does this mean? I have no idea if I'm suppose to do something.
I really need your help and opinions on how I should proceed on the above problems.
Lynn
I have instructions to do that but need opinions on whether I should just do it for only my files (emails) or do it to cover the drives, windows, system settings, programs and files? It

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I do have some questions/comments to verify that I understand your responses.
1. DVD's - I understand that I should use the best discs that will work in my DVD, such as Verbatim, Sony, etc.
In addition to that is there any other preferences for the actual DVD, such as for using on a 64-bit process that I have on my notebook, speed, other important features? No, just get good quality DVD +R or -R discs. Sony usually works well for me.
2. I unerstand that the actual creation of the recovery disc will in no way affect my added software and created documents such as my e-mails, and favorites bar, etc, that it only covers the factory installed items..Correct. Using the discs to restore/reinstall on the laptop puts it back to out of box state.With this procedure many people use a regular backup of files to put back on the machine after a factory Recovery.An external USB Hard drive is very nice for this,but backups can also be done on DVDs.
3. Creating a system image - am I correct in assuming this process does not duplicate any of the items in the created recover discs? Also, as you add more info such as software, douments, etc. to your computer requires another system image creation. It duplicates items in Recovery such as Windows,drivers & software- but is also an exact copy of the hard drive with your added files, newly installed programs, photos,etc. All of your personal files + the files in Recovery Discs are in an Image. Opposite effect of restoring with Recovery Discs-this process restores laptop with original Windows,software & drivers plus your added files. And yes- additional Images would be needed to keep an up to date image.
4. USB Flash drive - I have no idea what this is but I have instructions for using this procedure for creating recovery image to a use flash drive and that it is a faster process than using DVD's. Is the USB flash ddrive something that I have to purchase, is it expensive and does my PC have the capability of using this process? Your laptop has capabilty to make Recovery on USB- but actually this process is giving owners more trouble than DVDs. Many times resulting in buying several flash drives before finding one that works. My advice-stck with DVDs.
Thanks for your help.

Wireless mouse not functioning

My HPPavilion wireless mouse is not working. Changed batter. Bought new one. Same problems exists Sensor light on mouse does not light even w/ new mouse. Must be another problem. Touch pad is fine. Use Windows 7. Product no. is LW350UA#ABA

Hey Maryc61,
Can you please tell me if the mouse works on another computer?
You may also want to try disabling the touchpad and see if the mouse starts responding. You can do this by double tapping in the upper left corner of the touchpad.
Here are some documents you will want to go through:
Troubleshoot a wireless mouse that does not function correctly.
Troubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Make sure you go through these documents in full.
Hopefully this helps!
