Scroll bar on my hp pavilion dv6 laptop touch pad has stopped working in Firefox but works in all other software packages, eg Outlook, Chrome, IE9, iTunes, etc?,

This problem started in the last 24 hours.
I've tried completely shutting down my laptop and restarting, but the problem remains.

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Whenever a pdf is open in a tab, scrolling with my touchpad stops working on all other tabs.

When I'm viewing a pdf file from the firefox browser, the scrolling feature of my touch pad stops working for other tabs.
I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite L640.
The touch pad is a Synaptics PS/2 port TouchPad.

Same prob here. Also, a little scroll bar pops up next to the mouse when attempting to scroll within Firefox. Comp info: Firefox 7.0.1, Adobe Reader X 10.1.1, Samsung RV511 + Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Synaptics PS/2 Version 15.0.22.0.

I can't power up my pavilion dv6-3210. It has been working for over a year.

I can't get any power signal. No lights when plugged in. I tried to remove the battery and still no luck. Just dead. It was working last night fine but a few days ago had the same problem and removing the battery then powering up worked. Now nothing.
It is out of warranty so I need to know if HP does repair.Couldn't find anything on their site.

It's back working. I'm thinking that maybe because it was plugged in while sitting on the carpet it might have engaged the heat sensor. Anyway I tried it again after a few hours without plugging it in and it fired up.

I purchased a toshiba laptop in 2013. I also purchased and loaded a word 2013 software package for which I paid $139.99. This software has stopped working and all the valuable documents, presentations, and valuable family photos are now accessible.

My son is going off to college and uses this computer to apply to colleges, write essays, and verify scholarship statuses. This is a great hindrance for my son as well as our family endeavors. I feel very distraught regarding this issue it has held unbearable
consequences for my family. I am just an every day mother of 7 who has striven for success and requires the same out of my seven children. My youngest son Isaiah J. Davis, has exemplary character, determined drive, and admirable enthusiasm. For him to miss
out on any part of his destined future.
I also was suppose to receive Word 10 software as a bonus for purchasing the Word 2013 package. Now I'm really regretting utilizing the software system that I learned to love over the 20 year duration of employment within various customer service fields!
I thought I had a company I could trust and reference to others as a reliable system to utilize.
I don't believe this is how customers, especially paying consumers should be treated and trust me I know.

After updating to Firefox 7, i've lost scrolling feature on my laptop touch pad

After I updated to Firefox 7, the scrolling feature on the laptop touch pad would not work. My OS is Windows 7. I also updated my other laptop and the same thing happened. That one has Windows Vista as it's OS

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Why can't i download itunes to my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?

why can't i download itunes to my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?

Impossible to say with no information on which to base a diagnosis. "can't download" by itself doesn't tell us anything useful. What OS is your laptop running, and where exactly are things going wrong, including error messages if any?

Problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth

I'm having problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth, the plan is to share the Internet (3G) from the iPhone to the laptop.
The driver for serial port is not installing and I don’t have the option to connect to Internet via the iPhone. The problem is isolated to the iPhone as my Samsung mobile installs and connects ok, and is available in the control panel. During install I receive an error that the drivers (I guess for the COM port) cannot be found by WIN7. Drivers and options for headset, sound, SMS etc has installed correctly and is selectable in the control panel for Bluetooth.
For troubleshooting I have reinstalled HP Bluetooth package sp44774.exe, no success. I then goggled and found a another package sp53961.exe, still I have the problem. Windows Update is configured to auto search for updates.
Anyone have an idea what to do next?

Amazing how it can be the simplest things that get overlooked. Glad it is working.

Hp pavilion dv6 laptop has a black screen problem.

Hello,

The laptop is working,have the necessary sounds after i
turn it on,but the problem is that the screen stays always black
..I connect the lap top to tv screen or external monitor and it shows that everything is working properly.
The laptop may have hit a hard surface. The laptop worked well until about 1 week ago when I turned it on and the screen was hazy at first. I turned it off and turned it back on and the screen was completely black but still had the start-up sound. Someone suggested I see if it works on an external monitor and that worked.
Does anyone kow how I can fix the black screen of my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?
I do lots of study with it and have my exams coming up soon. I need my laptop to be mobile with me and not stationed in one place. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hp pavilion dv6 laptop black screen

Hi all please is any one help me I have my hp pavilion dv6 laptop.
The laptop is working,have the necessary sounds after i
turn it on,but the problem is that the screen stays always black
..I connect the laptop to external monitor and it shows that everything is working properly. But It not working on laptop screen what should I do heplllllll

Hi
I'll try helping you with this,
You'll have to give it for repair - display assembly replacement. The display panel might be at fault here as your system works good when connected to external monitor.
But before that,
Do a hard reset first --
Turn off the computer by pressing SHIFT KEY while you click SHUT DOWN.
Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer, shut down system.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook computer, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
Next:
To confirm, connect it to other monitor & do a full extensive hard drive & memory test from BIOS, tap quickly F2 or F10 soon after powering on the system.
If all tests are passed, contact HP service center.

My HP Pavilion dv6 laptop wont turn on

My HP Pavilion dv6 laptop does not turn on. Problem with my laptop started couple weeks ago. At that time, when computer goes to sleep mode after inactive for some time, power light and led lights stays on but screen is black. I can not do anything else but to press power button for few second and force turn off. If I turn on computer right away then computer will have black screen and nothing happens. If I remove battery and wait for few minutes and connect the power cord directly to computer and turn on then it will turn on normally and work until it goes back to sleep again. But now, its not even turning on at all. So far I tried hard reset, plugged in to different monitor and RAM test but no luck. Again when I turn on, caps lock and num lock lights blink and fan turns on and power lights, volume lights and wifi lights stays on but nothing on screen. Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and having issues with performance. Here is a link to computer will not start. I would start at the top and work my way down. Mine was fixed with reseating the HDD. Others have had it fixed with just reseating the Memory. Here is a video that shows you how to remove and reseat the HDD and memory. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Which has helped others as it restores the default settings. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

I'm unable to scroll down the page using laptop touch pad.

My FF was updated automatically. I'm unable to scroll down the page using the laptop touch pad scroll option.
It was working fine on FF before upgrade and after upgrade on IE browser. But, in FF 9 it is not working. Any help is appreciated.

Type '''about:config''' in the address bar and hit Enter key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''trackpoint'''
* right-click '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' preference, click '''Modify''' and change the value from '''-1''' to '''0''' (zero) or '''1'''
* click OK
-> Close '''about:config''' tab and Restart Firefox
Check which value (0 or 1) works.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
