Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64

Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64. Bought it new from HP.com in October and it has never worked.

Hi,
I belive that action OR f5 is for the backlit keyboard, not the touchpad. For the touchpad (my machine is also a dv7-70xx) you need to touch the switch (rapidly twice) which is on the left corner of the touchpad. The following image shows where is the light (yellow circle) and where is the swich (red rectangular):
Hope this helps.

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

Sorry, no. 4.2.1 is the highest possible for that model.

My HP ProBook S-series laptop touch pad mouse does not respond to me

My touch pad responds to my tech guy, to my friends, but not to me! It's like my fingers don't work on it, regardless of the pressure I use or the part of the pad I touch. Other than getting a new set of fingers - which in itself is problematic - what can I do about this? Has anyone else had this problem? It's brand new & this was a problem from the get-go. I had an old Dell latitude D600 & it worked fine for me.
Please help!

Well changing fingers is no easy task so I think we better find another solution. Have you tried other fingers? Also make sure the touchpad has not been locked by firmly tapping the top left section of the pad. This is how you can quickly enable or disable the touchpad.

Touch Pad Top Row Not Responding

Hi All,
After struggling through the last two disastrous software updates (one of which nearly got caused me to propel my iPhone through the wall) now the top row of touchscreen icons is no longer responding. Fortunately this problem doesn't extend to the email screen (yet) but it seems like it's just a matter of time. Of course the phone is no longer under warranty so fixing the problem will cost me $200 (un-ironically the cost of a new 3G).
I've read the support recommendations for this problem and restored, reset, restarted, cleaned, etc. The top row of icons remains essentially unresponsive. To say that I'm disappointed is a vast understatement. My boss has a 3G (his 2nd unit because the 1st was a dud) that he's about to take a hammer to as well. I hate to leave the Mac nest but I also need this device to work properly and reliably. Does anybody know which of the competing devices works best with Mac?

Wow, I'm having a similar problem. Only mine has completely incompacitated my phone because the top row of the passcode keypad are the ones that are dead. So I can see when someone has tried to call me but I can't get past the lock on the phone.
Even worse, when I try to use the emergency call feature, the bottom row doesn't work, and that of course contains the "9" in 911. Not even helpful there.
If anyone has been able to fix this, please let me know!

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
Thank you!

Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

Updating iPod touch failed, iPod no longer responds

Hello, I recently attempted to download and install the latest update for the iPod touch 4th generation. I got an error that said it had failed, which when I clicked to try and start it again resulted in nothing. The iPod is stuck ona USB to iTunes logo, yet when it is plugged in it does not appear in iTunes. I've attempted resetting by holding down the power and home buttons for 10 seconds and tried a few other things and I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas are appreciated, thank you in advance.

Not a good error.
Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

When I press the Home button the iPad won't return to the home page. I have to press hard or press down for a long period to get it to change. sometimes I turn it off and on again to be able to access the home page

When I press the home button my iPad won't go to he home page. It is as though the button isn't working properly?

Try this to calibrate your home button:
Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

Help!! Touch Pad problem (Creative Zen Touch 20

I dropped my Creative Zen Touch 20 GB accidently on the floor and now I have problems with my touch pad.... I can scroll down but can't scroll upwards anymore. This means I can't change my settings and it became quite difficult to select songs in long playlists. It is very annoying!!! Is there someone who can suggest me what to do? My warranty is already expired. Thanks for your reply.

Why not replace the part? Instructional video link also on the page? http://www.thegadgetdr.com/Zen-Visio...hpad-black.htm

Synaptic touch pad not working a

The touch pad decided to stop working. It is functional through out the system boot process and during user login. Once the desktop shows up it does not work. The pencil mouse on the keyboard works as does a USB mouse. I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled from the HP download center. Same problem. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Before I downloaded and installed the driver, there was a faint image of the touchpad with a red slash acroo it indicating that it was not available. After the re-install the slashed touchpad image did nto appear, but the touch pad failed to respond. The buttons still work.

Satellite A660 - touch pad on/off and other buttons don't work

Dear People on this forum,
Recently, around 3 weeks ago i opened up my computer and i cleaned it, took the dust out because it was overheating.
around 2 weeks before I noticed that my touch pad is not working and the top buttons are not working, there is no light (wireless multimedia sound buttons) I cant turn them off/on or I either don't know how. I am not sure if the problem is because I cleaned my laptop and did not connect some wires back but I am including this detail because I don't use those buttons so I did not notice if they were on. but 2 days ago I am not sure how my wireless went off ant when I press fn+f8 (wireless) it says wireless communication switch is off, which is one of the buttons that is not working (at the top next to of/on switch including with my touch pad)
I have tried the following:
windows update
turn off computer take out all wires and battery and wait for around 30min. Then hold then on button for 30s
reinstalling the flash cards support utility, hw setup and value added pack
and finally a Toshiba out of the box recovery using the 2 product recovery cd's
I am not sure what to do next. it is either:
try something else
or is there a wire is connected to both touch pad and the buttons at the top and i should open up my laptop again and connect them.
please answer as to my next step to recovering my wireless.
Your dear member of the forums, kaujis

Please dont understand me wrong but I dont know how to help you now. Notebook disassembling is for authorized people only and if you do this on your own there is always a risk that something can be done wrong or maybe damaged.
OK I must also say that I have also disassembled my machine too but I was lucky and everything is OK as before.
I dont know how A660 looks inside but the principle is always the same and I cannot imagine you have damaged anything.
You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you should do now is final functionality test and install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. Test functionality with factory settings. If the problem is still there, Im afraid you must open notebook again and check if everything is connected properly.
Last option is to contact service and ask for help.

Touch Pad stopped working on my new Satellite C850

I have new Toshiba Satellite C850-b293 after a day may touch pad didn't work.
Can somebody help me? I check already the setting and I set into default, but still now changes.
Please help me....

On this virtual way it is not easy to help. We dont know what is wrong there.
Please be sure touchpad is enabled properly. Use FN+F9 key combination and be sure touch pad is enabled properly.
> I check already the setting and I set into default
I dont know what do you mean with default but if possible reinstall OS again and test touchpad functionality with clean preinstalled OS and factory settings.
How to do this you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

Touch pad problem on Zen Visio

I have a Creative Zen Vision: M with a broken touch pad. I already did a research on this forum about how to fix it and none that works for me. I mean, first the tap touch is fine but up/down scrolling is not working. Then up/down scrolling comes back but tap touch stops working. I'm thinking this is a hardware problem. There is any other way to fix it's By the way, my Zen already out of the warranty period.
Is there anyway to just set it as a USB without using tap touch to set it's
