Mouse not working when reinstalling OS X with install disk

I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 on iMAC G5 after a hard drive crash with the help of the original install disks, but my wireless mouse does not work anymore. Any ideas how I can solve this or go through the installation process with the keyboard alone? I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to tab from a list in a window to the select button...

How is your mouse not working? Is it dead?
Is the wireless mouse a Mighty Mouse or a 3rd party mouse?
Does you mouse need batteries?
*Just in case it's dirty:*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
"Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.
Only do the following if your warranty has run out:
Cleaning inside and dismantling the Apple Mighty Mouse
If so, then I suggest (if your 1 year warranty is not up and/or you have Apple Care Protecton Plan) you call Apple Tech Support & ask for a replacement.

When reinstalling OS X with install disk, wireless mouse doesn't work

I have an unusual problem: My iMAC G5 hard drive died and I installed a replacement disk. Now, I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 with the help of my original install CDs that came with the iMAC.
Unfortunately, my wireless mighty mouse doesn't react anymore and I cannot proceed with the installation through keyboard commands alone. I get stuck at the first install window where the system asks for the operating system language.
I am clueless how to proceed since I don't have access to any utilities to test or connect the mouse because OS X is not installed yet. I tested the mouse on another Mac and it works. Any clues? Thanks for your help.

I solved my problem by using the original mouse

Mouse not working when importing timeline from premiere

This actually happens in a number of Adobe operations. Sometimes I can tab from one selection to the next and get by, but with this particular operation, I can only close the window with the mouse.
I actually get past the first import as timeline window where I can select the premiere project file. I then get to select the sequence and that is when I have no mouse control within the window and
thus can not select the sequence. Using the tab or enter keys also does not work. I can only close the window. Any suggestions?

Hello, I just had a problem similar to this: lines appearing everyehere, somestimes the brushdots didnt appear at all, the first line a drew = nothing, second line drew = first line. It was really wierd.
I tried almost everything, from re-installing PS, Going back to vanilla settings, reistalling mouse drivers. But nothing of that worked.
BUT I FINALLY I FOUND A SOLUTION! and it was so easy and obvius that i behind it.
All I had to do was to update my graphicscard driver! Yeah...
I hope it works for you to.
best of luck.
Update NVIDIA driver: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scansg.aspx?lang=en-us
Or
Update ATI driver: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/downloads.aspx
(If you have the latest driver allready, just re.istall them).
P.S. sorry if my english was a little bad.

IMessage is not working when camera is deactivated with parental lock, this makes no sense, does it?

Hello, when you deactivate the camera with the parental lock, it will deactivate iMessage imediately.
It seems that the deactivation of Facetime, witch is deactivated automaticly after the deactivation of the camera, leeds to the problem.
Because I have to turn off the camera due security restrictions of my working place, my camera is always deactivated.
So it was impossible to activate iMessage after installing iOS 5 on my iPhone.
After reactivation of the camera iMessage activation was possible.
Greetings A.T.Schmidt

I would definitely recommend you contact eBay about the issue and let them know! As an eBay seller myself, I attempt to make sure all the products I'm selling are in good condition and will be able to be used by someone else. It is awful and rude to sell a product such as a smartphone that is gravely important and have it not work. The reason it's not working with your account is because the phone was previously activated on the seller's account. (One phone at a time rule*). In order for you to start fresh and new you need to get in touch with someone from eBay and have this seller reprimanded for causing you so much trouble. I myself have considered purchasing tech items from eBay and Amazon and as good as the seller's ratings may be, that does not qualify them to be able to sell to just anybody. Unfortunately you received a "lemon" phone - AKA it doesn't work like they promised. Once the seller has been contacted by eBay customer support, your next step will be to go to Verizon and tell them exactly what happened.
I bought the phone I have now from Wal-Mart and I promise you I will never do that again. Within 3 months, the phone was completely dead. It may be cheaper and it may sound great but 3rd party sellers are NOT recommended by me personally. It's nothing personal against you I'm not trying to discourage your spending choices but trust me, you do get your money's worth if you buy direct. Plus, if something is wrong with the phone Verizon can't really help you out because they have no clue what software you're running on or how up to date it is. Just some friendly advice from someone who has done it before. Hopefully this will not happen to you again. I know first hand it can be quite frustrating and I empathize with you. Hope this works out for you! ;D

Open resetlogs is not working when creating clone db with online backup

Hi All,
I am trying to create a clone database using hot backup of a database .
STEPS THAT I FOLLOWED
LET ----- >CURRENT_DB NAME=DEV
CLONE DATABASE NAME=DEVCLONE
steps PERFORMED FORM DEV DB
- put the database in backup mode using 'alter database begin backup'
- copy all the data files to a different folder
- during copy i have performed some operations on the DB (creating users, tables, dmls etc...)
- in between copying i also performed log switch
- after completion of copy , "alter database end backup"
- created a backup control file in a human readable format (alter database backup controlfile to trace as ........)
steps performed for clone DB side ((DEVCLONE)
- created a parameter file for the database .
- modified the backup control file so that it will point to the location of copied destination of datafiles
- set the ORACLE_SID
- then 'sqlplus / as sysdba
- starup nomount
- run the modified control file ( created a control file for the clone database)
- recover the database using "recover database using backup controlfile"
I have provided the archive files that it was asking for (archive logs that has been generated in DEV DB)
then i canceled the recovery by typing "cancel"
- recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
then typed "cancel"
- then try to open the database with open resetlogs but it showed below error
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01195: online backup of file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\DATA_GUARD\DEVHOT\SYSTEM01.DBF'
please help me on this ......
Thanks

Thanks , now i am able to open the DB in open reset logs mode .
Previously , when i had not taken the archive log after "alter database end backup" , i was not able to open the db with open resetlogs because the
fuzzy status of all the datafile headers were YES .
But after taking the archive log that got generated after "alter database end backup" and applying it on the clone db(Created with HOT backup ) the datafile_header status got changed from YES to NO .
So for that i am able to open the clone db with open resetlogs .
Can you please help me with a small description why this is happening ?
Thanks.......

Why does hotmail not work when I open it with firefox?

When I open firefox in safe mode hotmail is functional but when I open firefox normally hotmail does not work. I can't seem to find out what add ons I have.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Magic mouse not working when my computer wakes up from sleep mode sometimes

This does not happen all the time but it is starting to happen more and more. When my iMac is asleep and I wake it up the mouse is non responsive. I have looked at the green indicator light on the magic mouse and it does not respond as well. I have turned the mouse off then back on and that does nothing. I thank this may be a Bluetooth problem because I have tried this with 2 magic mice. The only way I can get it to work is to restart the computer.
Please advise??

I would add the mouse to bluetooth favorites in System Preferences > bluetooth > Highlight mouse on the left > click gear icon below this list > click "show more info" if not already checked > click the gear icon again and "add to favorites".

If that doesn't do it then a SMC reset might be in order:

Lookup expression is not working when I am using with in the rectangle box in SSRS

I have two datasets with common member is ProgramID.
I have followed the below steps,
1. Added one table (2x2) and mapped this table to dataset1. After that I have removed top row.
That means I am maintaing only data row.
2. Added group to the table (ProgramID). Now the programid is sitting at cell#(1,1) and cell#(1,2) is blank
3. I have verified the report with preview and able to see the data for my all programs. I have 5 programs
4. my plan is adding chart and matrix reports to cell# (1,2). If I am adding chart/matrix to the cell#(1,2) then we can't contol the cell alignments in terms of height x width.
To resolve that problem, I have added one rectangle control to the cell#(1,2) then I have added my chart and matrix report
5. After completing the report, I have verified with preview and able to see the reports (chart/matrix) for all my 5 programs by page wise (note: I have provided page break before for my rectangle)
6. Till this point, I have no issues
7. Now, I have added one more row under the group. so, we have our main table (2x2). Becuase of programId group we can only see 3 cells in total table (cell# (1,1) =ProgramId cell#(1,2)=chart and matix reports under rectangle box; cell#(2,1)=already
merged with ProgramID group; cell#(2,2)= planned to add one more rectanlge and add two reports (chart and matrix)
8. Now, i have added rectangle to cell#(2,2) then added chart and matrix reports within the rectangle.
9. cell#(2,2) reports are needs to extract the data from dataset-2. Here we have common member is ProgramID (ds-1,ds-2)
10. First I have tested for matrix report by adding lookup expression
      Matrix report (2x2)
     row-1: Cell(1,1)= Gender report heading ; cell(1,2)=Month (column group)
     Note: month is also common member in both the datasets.
     row-2: cell(2,1)-- =Lookup(Programid.value, Programid.value,Gender.value,"Dataset2") (Gender data is Male and Female)
                Cell(2,2) -- empty for now
11. I have tried to preview the report and able to see the report without any issues and below are observations
        main Table (2 x2)
         Cell# (1,1) = ProgramID --Returning all 5 programs properly
         Cell# (1,2) = Dataset1 related report (chart and matrix reports under rectangle) -- able to see without any issues
         Cell#(2,1) = We already know this is merged cell. i.e menas ProgramID dispalying
          Cell#(2,2)= Only Male record is dispalying in the matrix report which is under rectanlge (here we have applied Lookup expression.
Note: male is the first record from the database and Female is the second record
Also, observed that Cell#(2,2) matrix report is unable to display the gender count information when I have provided count value expression in the cell(2,2) within the matrix and the expression I have uses is
= sum(Lookup(ProgramId.value,ProgramId.value,GenderCOunt.value,"Dataset2"))
Please ask me if I am unable to explain or lengthy explain.
Point : Why the lookup expression is giving the first record only (in case of gender #(male, female) and why it is unable to give the gendercount. Gendercount cell is totally blank.
Please help me.
Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Eject is not working when installer asks to insert second disk

I have a quite strange problem, when i'm installing world of warcraft on my laptop, everything goes allright for a first (of 5) dvd, it's running install till 20% and then asks to insert a second disk. When i'm trying to eject the first one it says, that a disk is in use and refuses to eject it (nor the eject button, nor dragging cd to bin works). But this is not the end, when i even closed the installer, it still is saying, that disk is in use, and doesn't want to eject it until reboot.
Maybe someone had this problem and solved it? Please, help, i don't want to download 4 gigs of installation.

Hello,
I just had my DVD drive replaced by Apple. This did not solve my issue. I am still unable to install WoW. Any help would be much much appreciated... This is SO frustrating...
Thanks!

Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

Hi All,
I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?
John.

I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
Any idea what could be wrong .
I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

Hi,
I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Any input is wellcome.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!
