The cursor moves at will while I am typing and screws up the work I have done. Can I trash the comp

Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse pad? 
I have a laptop that is still under warentee.  It has been in the repair shop and I have contacted HP support twice.  I cannot type a complete sentence without the cursor jumping to another location and screwing up what I have already typed.  I know there is a double click on the mouse pad to turn it off,  but that is un-acceptable because I have to keep turning it on to move the cursor to another spot to operate a function then turn it off again.  Can I either:  return it to HP for a real computer, or, let the neighbors dog chew on it for a few days then throw it in the trash?  I have an HP printer that works very well for me, but for the money spent on this computer,  I don't think that any other HP products are in my future if this problem is not resolved soon.
At this point, there has not been anyone who seems to understand how to fix it.  The telephone assistant really tried to find a solution, but it likely was not something that was covered in his flip chart. 
I have had other computers and not one of them has been like this....  Perhaps I bought a top of the line laptop for not!
It is a Pavilion dv6-6149nr. 
It runs out of warentee on July first of this year.  I am discusted with it and the lack of help for the problem.  I have put up with this problem for long enough.

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

    I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

    Hi, I have a iPhone 4S and I reset the phone to factory settings bcos the iTunes and AppStore didn't work. Now I can't get my phone to turn on

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Will i lose any work i have done if i stop using elements 6 and use 4

    i have elements 4 but am trying out a trial version of 6 i have edited some photos and also tagged them if i dont buy 6 and my trial finishes what will happen to any work i have done when i start using 4 again? also is there any video help on using 4 and 6 online i do read the help but i still get confused as what to do i would prefer to see it actually happen thankyou

    >also is there any video help on using 4 and 6 online i do read the help but i still get confused as what to do i would prefer to see it actually happen thankyou.
    I suggest that you look at
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/Photoshop_Elements_Tutorials_and_User_Resource s.htm
    where Sue Chastain has written multiple tutorials with screen shots and instructions. Now they may not be video format, but they do have the screen shots to show you the actions.
    >if i dont buy 6 and my trial finishes what will happen to any work i have done when i start using 4 again?
    In general - any photos that you have imported from your camera and the edited photo files will remain on your hard drive. However, many/most of the changes you have made in the Organizer work space will be lost.
    You will need to import the photo files done in v6 again once you switch back to v4: if you originally imported from your camera in v6, you would now import from the hard drive location after going back to v4. If you saved in a Version Set in v6, that version set will not exist in v4 - so you will have separate thumbnails for the original and the edited photo.
    It may be possible to keep some of the newly applied tags because PSE does sometimes write Tags to the photo file itself. I think that the Write Tags to File command still exists in v6.
    Hopefully someone who has done this fallback will post detailed information.

    So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
    CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
    Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
    The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

    The Front camera of my iPod Touch isn't working,I have done everything possible...restart it, up date it...etc. NOTHING WORKS, is there a program or something I can download??

    Your iPod is probably covered by the warranty.  Check here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    However, it does not cover misuse such as caused by dropping the iPod.
    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program.
    This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

  • I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
    or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
    you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
    Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
    are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
    a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
    What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
    and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
    a solution.

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • FF was running fine. My cursor jumped out of the text box while i was typing and now no text box on FF will let me type in it? Help!

    Basically as above, i opened a new tab to search for an article and as i was typing the cursor jumped out of the box without my realising. I placed the cursor back in the box and started but no characters appeared. I tried the URL bar and again nothing. I opened Chrome and it worked fine so clearly something ive managed to do but i have no idea what!
    I didn't use any shift, alt or ctrl buttons accidentally. I have tried shutting FF down and reopening but nothing.
    Can anyone help please?
    As an addition, why does the cursor jump out like that?
    Thanks

    Hello darrendons, try disabling graphics '''hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
