The mouse locks up when PC left alone for over an hour. Help!

We got a HP505B Microtower PC /Windows 7, Every time we try to login to PC and it's been about an hour since PC was unused the mouse is locked up, it wont respond. We've swapped the mouse, plugged on a different USB ports and the same thing happens. Rebooting the PC works, but its a pain to do it more than once a day. Is this happening to anyone else? Can anyone offer some advice? Much appreciated.

Hi,
A number of issues you could cause your problem.
1. Excessive heat
2. Bios bug
3. Video driver bug
4. Power options set incorrectly
5. Memory errors
6. Power supply issue
7. Freaky software issue
Boot up your PC into safe mode (F8) and let it sit for an hour and see if the issue occurs.

Where did you get iDVD to put on your Mac? The downloading themes are no longer available from Apple. If you copied it from a Mac that had all the themes look for the iDVD folder on that Mac which should be in the HD/Library/Applications Support folder or the Users/Home/Library/Applications Support folder. Copy it to the HD/Library/Applications Support folder for Mt Lion.
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Itunes is saying its waiting on the Iphone and I have left it for over 2 hours, what do I do?

Are you trying to activate your phone?
I'm reading in other threads, the apple activation sever is currently down.

I'm trying to manually activate my jet pack, but when I connect to 'my.jetpack' the screen has been saying it's activating for over an hour now.

It is just stuck at the activating screen on my jet pack and my.jetpack. I've tried restarting it, using a different browser, connecting to 192.168.1.1, and connecting it by tether and wireless.

Hello mcyork.
I'm sorry you are experiencing a delay when activating your Jetpack. Because you are using a Jetpack, it is important to ensure that your SIM card is correctly installed. Which model Jetpack do you have? If you are still unable to activate the device, please try powering down and removing and reinserting the LTE SIM card. Please keep us updated.

Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

I would suggest a new feature:The possibilty to change the mouse pointer icon when you hover on an active link by any other one icon I select.

Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive. The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.

After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive. The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.
This has happened EVERY time the iMac goes to sleep for the last few days.. the only way I have found to resolve the issue is to manually restart the computer each time via the button on the back of the iMac.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thanks

FWIW, I never sleep my machines or their HDs, just their displays and never have an issue waking up the displays, usually run 24/7. Give that a shot.

How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5?

How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

LOL, I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge. The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'. The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.
[EDIT] Both taken at Karamea, which some visitors to NZ might recognise as the western end of the Heaphy Track.

iTunes shows I have an encrypted backup under preferences. It's got the pad lock. When I click restore the encrypted backup is not an option. I've been test MDM products and may have caused this. How do I restore the encrypted backup.

I just came here today to ask the same question.
I have an iPod Gen2 with version 4.2.1 iOS, and iTunes 11.0.2.26
My iPod Touch was running sluggish so I backed up and selected the "Encrypt local backup" to "back up account passwords used on my iPod".
I selected a password for this backup and restored my iPod Touch.
When I went to restore from backup, that encrypted backup is not available on the drop down list.
However, if I go to the top of ITunes and click "Edit", "Preferences" "Device", it shows the back up with the pad lock on it.
I thought I was being smart backing up with encryption to back up account passwords, but now I have lost everything.
So many people have the issue where it asks for a password when they never told iTunes to do an encrypted backup and here we are with an encrypted backup, and we know the password, but we don't get the option to restore from it.

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode.
Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!! I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.

The mouse locks up when PC left alone for over an hour. Help!
