Scroll Wheel Issue - USB Port must be filled to use it

My Ipod will only allow me to use the scroll wheel or click if something is plugged into the firewire port. The port cord doesnt have to be plugged into anything; as long as something is in the port the ipod works fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well, I was really excited there for a while. Last night I set up FF with the new profile, in safe mode, and then disabled all the plugins. (BTW, I was surprised to learn that safe mode didn't disable the plugins.) Exit/restart, visited some sites, no problems. Then I spent the rest of the night watching hockey (I have my priorities). I left FF up all night, and this morning it was not "locked up", which gave me a huge amount of hope - normally if I've left FF running overnight there's a near zero chance that it will respond. However, I went to Google News, and after I had opened about 7-8 tabs - no joy. Same symptoms. I guess I'll have to check out Chrome or Opera, because I tried using IE8 for a few hours yesterday and it was not a fun experience.
Thanks anyway, cor-el.

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

Scroll Wheel Issue- Still Can't Find Answer

I recently started using PPro CS5 on my Windows 7 64 bit computer and am very pleased with it. However, the scroll wheel will not work at all in the application, not even when I hover the pointer over the scroll bar. I've searched the forum, but cannot find an answer that applies to my situation. The scroll wheel works in the other Adobe apps, but not in Premiere. Can anyone please help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it!

Going way back, there were several InteliPoint drivers, that caused all sorts of issues with Adobe products. After a bit, things got better, and MS seemed to be on a roll. Then, about 18 mos.back, several InteliPoint drivers went bad, regarding Adobe. Have not heard of this since, but it happened twice in the past.
Good luck,

Raised scroll wheel issue

My nano's scroll wheel feels slightly raised and as if I could easily pry it off, especially at the top and bottom. Is this part of the new design or is it a legitimate problem? The reason I ask is because my last two ipods, a 1st gen nano and a 4th gen classic both have scroll wheels that are aligned with the face of the ipod and i can't feel any edges on them. Has anybody else had this problem ?

I just got my wife a 3rd gen Nano and I think it has the same issue. My 5th gen 60gb is not like that, so i doubt it was designed that way...
Anyone else?

Firefox frequently loses almost all navigation (scroll wheel, page up/down) - must exit/restart to clear problem

This problem began sometime when I was using FF 3.6.x. I have since upgraded to 8.0.1, and the problem occurred more frequently than with 3.6.x. I finally decided to create a new profile, and I did not copy any files from the default profile. The problem persists. The problem has occurred regardless of whether I have one tab open or multiple tabs open. It occurs at seemingly random times.
Here's what happens: I will be merrily working along, and suddenly I will notice that my scroll wheel will no longer navigate the page I am on. Neither the page up/down keys work, and the up/down arrows no longer work either. However, I can still navigate by sliding the scroll bar up and down, and the Home and End keys work normally.
Additionally, I can not click on a tab to open it, but I can use CTRL-Tab to navigate from tab to tab.
A new artifact appeared after I upgraded to 8.0.1. Now, when I close a tab while this condition is in place, the tab actually closes and the appropriate page (next to the closed tab) will render, but the tab itself does not disappear from the tab bar. It's in effect a zombie tab.
Sometimes in this state I can click on links and the linked page will appear, and sometimes I get nothing. As a matter of fact, just after I loaded this very support page, the condition occurred. (Which is why I'll be copying this statement in case the Post Question link doesn't work :( )
I want to emphasize that I'm working with a completely new profile, so it's apparently not places.sqlite or any other file that's causing the problem. Please help if you can - I'm considering moving to Chrome if I can't figure this out. In recent days this problem has been occurring dozens of times a day.
TIA.

Scroll wheel issue

My scroll wheel has started acting weird. The wheel does not scroll thru the lists anymore, or it does it very weird. It skips, gets stuck , or does not scroll at all. The buttons on it still work (menu, etc). I can get it to work a bit if I turn the lock on and off. While listening to a song, the volume acts the same. Please help.

This suggestion does help, but only for a little while. Switching the Hold button off and on, does seem to clear the problem. But it starts right back up very soon after. Does anybody have any other suggestions? Don't make me go out and buy a $500 ipod touch! Thanks.

Lenovo Ideapad S410p/S510p - Windows 7 installation issues - USB Ports, Nvidia Graphics Install

Hi all,
I recently bought a Lenovo S410p and wanted to install Window 7 - Home Edition. I faced a number of issues - At BIOS level, then it refused to detect USB 2.0, then it refused to install latest Nvidia GEForce drivers (need to install some intel driver but no idea which one it should be!) . It was a nightmare! While doing that, I realized, my touch pad was a bit damaged, the buttons seem to be depressed, it was causing a ridge between the pad and the keys - quite annoying. I took it back to the stores, they did not have another S410p - Hence I settled for the larger screen S510p - paid the difference. Good service from Lenovo!
Now back home and tried installing Windows 7 - All the same problems surfaced again. Tinkered for a week and no luck! Then I decided to clean everything up and start from scratch. Trust me it worked this time! I am not a computer geek but a normal user with very limited/basic knowledge. Let me explain what I did,
I. BIOS/UEFI Setup
1. You can enter the BIOS by pressing Fn+F2 key during laptop startup.
2. Tab: Configuration - Make sure "USB Legacy" is "Enabled". Leave the rest as is.
3. Tab: Boot - Here are few things that need to be set,
a. Boot Mode – “Legacy Support”
b. Boot Priority – “Legacy First”
c. USB Boot – “Enabled” – Optional if you are going to install Windows 7 via a bootable USB drive.
d. Boot Priority Order – Start with either “ATAPI CD:” or “USB HDD:” – Depending on your installation preference – Then followed by your hard disk. In my case, I replaced the 1 TB Samsung HDD with my favorite SSD. Hence, my 2nd boot device was “ATA HDD:”.
4. That was pretty much the start you need to install Windows 7. Exit BIOS by pressing Fn+F10 and “Yes”.
II. Install Windows 7. This is fairly straightforward. Your computer will restart a few times till you are able to login and go to your workspace. Follow the instruction as per your installer. Once done, you will notice a host of items in your “device manager” (Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device Manager ) that need updated drivers. This is where the issues start! So be patient and you need to follow a specific order to install everything – else something or other will end up broken – Like I ended pulling my hair for 2 weeks!
III. Install drivers in a specific order. Download the following drivers from the Lenovo website, save it in the specific order that I would recommend. Please do not install completely yet – There are a few things to be done. Make sure you select the right Windows driver – 32 bit or 64 bit.
Link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS037027
Step 1: Download and Install Driver - Chipset. There are two drivers here – Chipset and Intel Management Engine. Install both. Restart if asked.
(I downloaded the files in Step 1,2 and 3 through another computer and copied the files into my S510p via flash drive. The USB 3.0 ports were working after the installation of fresh windows. I believe Step 1,2 and 3 can be interchanged but I did not try that.)
Step 2: Download and Install Driver - Networking: LAN (Ethernet). Restart if asked.
Step 3: Download and Install Driver - Networking: Wireless LAN. Restart if asked.
(Now you are connected to internet!)
Step 4: Download and Install Driver - Storage. Restart if asked.
Step 5: Download and Install Driver - Mouse and Keyboard. Restart if asked.
Step 6: Download and Install Driver - Recovery. Restart if asked.
Step 7: Download and Install Driver - Power management. Restart if asked.
Step 8: Download and Install Driver - Camera and Card Reader. Restart if asked.
Step 9: Download and Install Driver - USB Device, FireWire, IEEE 1394. Restart if asked.
Note: If you have reached here so far, you will notice that all your USBs are working, including the USB 2.0 on the right side.
Step 10: Download and Install Driver - Bluetooth and Modem. Restart if asked.
Step 11: Download and Install Driver - Audio. Restart if asked.
Reaching so far, you are on the right path. Next is the waiting game. You let windows auto update itself – this can take almost a day or two depending on your internet connection. Go to “Control Panel – System and Security – Windows Update” and make sure all updates are installed and you system is up-to-date. This is absolutely essential. Once it is done, you are ready to install Nvidia GEForce drivers.
Step 12: Download and Install Driver - Display and Video Graphics - Intel Video Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit). Restart if asked.
Step 13: Download and Install Driver - Display and Video Graphics - NVIDIA VGA Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit). Restart if asked.
Now you can see that the graphic card has been recognized and all drivers have been installed.
Step 14: Download and Install Driver –All the rest of drivers you can find in the link above. Restart if asked.
Folks, this was the only way it worked for me. Maybe, there is an easier way that I might have missed in the forums.
All the best and apologies for the long post!

Hi,
I just checked my BIOS and the graphics is set to Optimus. Maybe, your current drivers is the cause for the issue. You may try unistalling them and re-install the exact version as the one I have (did some reading and it seems like it is the latest one).
This is the version of the Nvidia driver I have - Nvidia GeForce 820m- 9.18.13.2762. Not sure if this came through during the automatic windows update.
I did a quick search and found a direct driver download link - http://www.notebook-driver.com/detail/lenovo-driver-id-24155/.
If I get some time this weekend, I will try a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate and see if I face same issues as your's. Anyways. hope for the best!

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.

My scroll wheel click doesn't work anymore.

So, you know how you can open up something in a new tab in chromium by pushing the scroll wheel on your mouse in? Well, I used to be able to do that until recently and now it just flat out doesn't work.
Is this a hardware issue? My mouse is in fantastic shape and the scroll wheel works fine otherwise. I tried googling this but found some really old threads for xorg files that didn't exist or I don't know how to find.

X doesn't see you pushing it in. I'd check if it works in a different OS (e.g. Windows or Linux LIve CD).
Does the wheel move down when pressed? Maybe you could fix it by disassembling the mouse.

Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3 my USB ports don't work for anything. Any ideas?

I have been a long-term (nearly 25 years) Apple User, so am reasonably familiar with the system. I upgraded about 1 week ago with an automatic update to Lion and since then I have had massive problems using the USB ports on my Mac Pro (which is from 2009). At first this affected every USB port and I couldn't use my keyboard or mouse, but since restarting a couple of times, and repeatedly inserting and removing them into the various rear ports, I can use these plugged in via monitor cable.
However, the USB ports for other devices are extremely problematic and frustrating as nothing seems to work consistently on them. This affects all devices that I usually access (and which all worked seamlessly before upgrade), including my iPhone (which will power up but not be recognized when plugged into any front or rear port), external drives, cameras, and my printer. However, for the printer only (a Brother MFC 9840) it will work some times if I restart the computer, but not others. I have tried rebooting, switching ports, using other cables, changing power cords. I have read multiple threads on USB issues with Lion for a solution including those to do with printers (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3301218?start=0&tstart=0), those to do with external drives (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3510032?start=30&tstart=0), and even those to to with modems (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3164614?start=0&tstart=0). Despite this, I note that there appear to be no consistent solutions reported and that in other support threads including reseting PRAM. I do see many more problems than I would have expected.
I don't know if this is related, but after the upgrade I also had problems with Outlook not working, but for some reason that seemed to stop after a couple of days. Just in case I also checked to see if I was affected by the malware program (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3856206?tstart=30), but thankfully I am not.
I am sure this has to do with the upgrade to Lion 10.7.3, and have been expecting something from Apple to address these issues, but nothing so far. I am completely lost for solutions, and any help gratefully received.
Slightly unrelated, but again speaking to a possible change in culture in Apple that has seen upgrades cause more problems than they solve, I am also affected by the change from MobileMe to iCloud and the loss of push e-mail. For those not aware, this has been an issue for more than 6 months, and on the discussion there are now 35 pages of comments, and no solution in sight (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18050375?ac_cid=142432#18050375).

Generally speaking, a full recharge and reboot after the recharge will solve the issue with the ports. Many ports will also start to fail if you leave devices hooked up to them when the machine is asleep. Unfortunately, many non-Apple devices don't understand the low power mode ports go into after Energy Saver is woken up, and only a reboot solves that problem.

B&W G3 chimes, black screen no boot no power to USB ports.

My precious situation:
I have a B&W g3 that has been upgraded to a 600mhz G4. It has been workin g well for several years now. Yesterday I booted into OS X 10.4.11 and it had a kernel panic. I tried restarting to no avail. Everything powers on, the fans the optical drive and the hddrives. The power button is green but there is no chime and the screen is black. There is no power to the USB ports so I can't use the keyboard to flash PRAM or boot into open firmware. I've tried the CUDA and taking out the battery. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Since then:
I couldn't resolve that situation, so I got another one at a local thrift store and swapped in all my pci cards, ram and hdd from the old one. It was working awsome until yesterday. Now the same situation as before. I know what I did wrong this time, but don't know how to resolve it. What happened was I went into start up disk in preferences and chose Mac OS X hdd as start up disk and restarted. Before it was done booting I shut it down with the power button on the front and now this. This time though it does chime when I turn it on. What should I do? I cannot use keyboard commands as there is no power to the USB ports.

Do you have the original bootable Mac OS CD or DVD that came with the machine? I have no experience with the Blue&White G3, but had a beige desktop model a long time ago. Whenever I had some strange boot issues with OS 9 or OS X I was usually able to boot from the original OS 8 CD that shipped with the machine. I could then run disc utility to verify and repair the main internal drive and then try to reboot.
Booting issues are tricky, because you don't really know if you have a hardware or software problem, unless you have another identical working machine and can swap out parts to rule out what you know is good and eventually isolate what is bad. Going back to the original OS on the optical media and the stock machine with no third-party expansion cards is a good baseline configuation to start out from.

Scroll wheel not working in Community Help App (Windows 7 64bit)

I am using the Community Help App on both a Windows 7 32 bit machine and a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
On the 32 bit machine, the mousewheel scrolls the content pane just fine.
On my 64 bit machine, the mousewheel will not scroll the content pane. I have to use the scroll bar on the right (click and hold to scroll the content).
This appears to the be case for all Adobe Air apps, as this functionality is identical in Adobe Story.
I am using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile 4000 mouse on the Windows 7 machine.
Is anyone else having this problem on 64 bit Windows 7 machines?

I'm frustrated, too, because of the scroll wheel issue with any AIR applications.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium N 32 bit.
Using Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (wired, not wireless) - current drivers.
Scroll wheel will not work when rolled normally, no matter what sensitivity I set the wheel to. To get any scrolling action, I have to roll the wheel as fast as I can. Then, it will scroll, but in horrible chunky bits, which ends up being wildly inaccurate and extremely frustrating.
I've heard of many other people having this issue. It's only when the program I'm using is an AIR application, which leads me to believe that Adobe did something to make AIR incompatible with a MS mouse & Win 7 OS. (I have used the same mouse running Vista and scrolled fine in an AIR application.)
Is Adobe going to correct this situation?

Audio volume and mouse scroll wheel-WMM inferior to 3rd party?

Whenever I can't use my Wireless Mighty Mouse (maybe I forgot it at home etc.) I try to use other mice lying around from bygone eras.
When I end up using a 3rd party bluetooth mouse, say a Kensington, or even a Microsoft, I notice that I can click on the Volume menulet on the menu bar at the top right of my OS screen, and with the volume bar expanded downwards I can then use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume.
When I use the Apple mouse and its scroll ball nothing happens. I have to actually click and drag the volume slider, a much more precision demanding exercise.
What gives? How come the mouse driver for a Kensington/Microsoft allows something the Apple's own seems to ignore? Is there some Terminal tweak I could do to enable this behavior on the WMM?
Many thanks, as always, people.

the mouse works fine doing all the other things. well, i dunno, how changing USB would make any difference. Though I did try that, with no effect.
i have a PS/2 mouse & keyboard connected with a PS/2-USB adapter.
And *sometimes the scroll wheel does work*, & then suddenly stops doing what its supposed to do!!??

Does the USB port provide power in sleep mode?

Subject pretty much says it all... curious as to if the USB port will continue to provide power to a connected device even in sleep mode?
I can find some info on the G5 iMacs that say they did not, but can't find anything on the Intel iMacs.
Specifically, thinking of buying an iPod Nano and wondering if it will charge it while sleeping.

Regarding Apple's document, it is interesting to note:
Your computer goes to sleep
Your computer can only charge iPod when it's turned on and not asleep. Make sure your computer on and is not set to go to sleep when you want to charge iPod.
Tip: Some Macintosh computers can charge iPod even though they're asleep. If your sleeping computer doesn't charge iPod, don't worry, just wake it and let iPod charge.
Apple doesn't specifiy which computers are capable of this however so I wouldn't bet on it.
Of note, the USB port must provide a very small amount of power not only, I would think, to allow the keyboard/mouse to wake the Mac but also to light the LEDs of my bus powered (not AC powered) Macally hub which remain constant as long the Mac is on (sleeping or not). That also applies to the USB charger that came with my Kensington Wireless keyboard (although I have not tried charging while in sleep mode). That being said, the power - no doubt - is minimal.

Non Responsive USB Port

I was wondering if anyone was having trouble with their USB port. I tried hooking up an external HD and it can't seem to notice the drive under the "Disks" portion of APUtility. The drive, however, does work with my AP extreme 802.11n (1st gen, not the new one). Since it works with that, then I decided to use my TC as my printer hub, then, but my Epson CX4800 does not show up under the "Printers" section of AP Utility, says there are none. Just to see if it works with my AEBS, I plug it in there and it does in fact work. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is my USB port just non-operational. Anyone know a way to test if the USB port is operational?
And before you ask. My printer does work with my computer, it does work with the AEBS, but does not work with TC. I have restarted my printer with it plugged into my TC, and I have restarted the TC with the printer plugged in. It is plugged in directly, not via a USB hub. I have tried to restore the TC setting to default and redoing my setup. I have even, not just rebooting the TC, but unplugging it and waiting more than 10 seconds, and then plugging it back in. Nothing like this helped. I assume it is either a firmware problem (has 7.4.1), or is a hardware problem (i.e. bad USB port), but I know of no way to test either hypothesis. Anyone have suggestions.

I have a similar USB problem with my printer. For some unknown reason when I turn off the USB printer it is not recognized when I turn it back on (my ethernet printer connected to TC does not have this problem). Resetting TC does not reset the USB port - when I cold boot the USB port must get a new IP number and the USB printer works fine (till I turn it off).
