Touchpad irratic behavior that I can no longer control on Pavilion dm1 notebook

I have Pavilion dm1-4210 notebook with Windows 7. Touchpad is Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad. When I first turn computer on, TouchPad usually works fine for maybe an hour or so. Then, all of a sudden the curser takes on a life of its own and refuses to move around the screen as it should. If I try to move curser UP OR DOWN, the arrow turns into a small vertical rectangle that will not move. All the rectangle does is reduce the view properties of the screen (reminds me of what you see when using the middle dial on a mouse). If I try to move curser to the RIGHT OR LEFT, the curser turns into either a little cross with a vertical and a horizontal double arrow, OR a litte diamond symbol with 4 little boxes in it, yet it will not move around the screen. Also sometimes cursor jumps to left side of screen on its own. I cannot get the curser to return to normal, except by banging on the touchpad in frustration, which I know is not a very good repair technique. Otherwise I have to re-boot for the touchpad/cursor to go back to normal, but that is becoming a real pain. The other time this happens is often right after I plug in a flash drive or external hard drive. NOTE: this problem is ONLY when I am using the TouchPad. I never have any problems when I am using a wireless mouse, so the problem is specifically with the TouchPad. When I run internal troubleshooting, or the HP driver check online, every test says the TouchPad is operating normally and the driver is up to date. But there clearly is something wrong, but beats me what it is. Any ideas?

Hi,
First try uninstalling and reinstalling the touchpad drivers...
To uninstall the touchpad go to Control Panel and Add/Remove programs.Select Synaptic Touchpad and click uninstall or remove..Restart the computer and then download the driver from the link below:
Synaptics TouchPad Driver
You can also refer this link to adjust few settings in the touchpad that may fix.Try diabling the gesture controls and check:
Turning all gestures off and on
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

ARD admin can no longer control clients...

I have ARD configured on all my clients, and it seemed to be working fine. In the last week or so I found that I can no longer control my clients. I visit the client to make sure that the account is set up for ARD control, yet when I try and control the computer it doesn't work at all...anyone have any ideas to fix this?
thanks

Same for me - I hooked up a Quicksilver Mac into my local Ethernet network (behind router), but cannot connect to it. I updated the Quicksilver Mac to ARD2.2 successfuly. ARD also allows me to chat with the computer since I see it in the ARD Status panel. So there must be some kind of connection.
However, controlling or observing returns a connection error.
One possibility: Client runs MacOS 10.3.9 ???
Cheers

HT1688 Someone changed the settings on my iPhone so that I can no longer update my apps or download new apps. I don't have the icon on my phone anymore. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?

I should have added that the iTunes app is not displayed on my phone in order for me to add the apps.

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

TS3899 I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What should I do to correct this issue?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

Apps on computer but in a different folder. Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find". They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them. Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

That did the trick! Thank you.
The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
No more switching iTunes libraries for me.

Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)?

?Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)? - This notebook has Windows 7 Home Premium.
- I was looking to take the free upgrade to WIndows 10 - I requested the reservation.
- Initial response was to wait for downloads would be available.
- Just got the message that it is not compatible with Windows 10 because it has an Nvidia Go GeForce 6150 graphics card.
- I contacted Nvidia about a card that would be comaptible with WIndows 10.
- Response was that couldn't recomment a replacement, and to contact HP.
- Does anyone know if there is a graphics card replacement for the HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook that would make it compatible with Windows 10?
...Or is my only option to not upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a new laptop?

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand that you are inquiring about a Graphics Card Replacement. Unfortunately the Graphics Cards are not replaceable on the HP Pavilion dv2000 Notebook PC. They are attached directly to the motherboard. The only way to replace a Graphics Card would be to replace the whole Motherboard. Hope I answered your question. Have a great day!

After installing Mountain Lion two drives on my network cannot be accessed. I am using Parallels to utilize QuickBooks ERP. The programs and data are on the drives that I can no longer access. Suggestions?

After installing Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro, I can no longer access two shared drives. Diagostics cannot solve the problem. I am using Parallels to run Qucikbooks ERP on these shared drives. How do I get my Mac to see these drives and access them?

Don't know what to tell you, but I also have an AEBS-Gen5 with a MBP Retina and Mac Mini using WiFi. Both are running Mountain Lion and I don't have any WiFi connection issues. Two iPhones in the household use WiFi with no issues along with a printer and 2 Windows 7 laptops.
First thing I would try is to shutdown all computers connected to the AEBS. Then power off the AEBS and finally the cable/DSL modem. Then reverse the order and power on the cable modem, wait for all the lights to be solid, power on the AEBS, wait for the light to show solid green; then power up a computer that uses WiFi.
If the above doesn't work, you might try repairing permissions via Disk Utility. If that doesn't help maybe a PRAM reset would work.

I have iphoto 7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album. When I try, it tells me that I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and I need to upgrade. When I try to upgrade, it tells me tat I can't upgrade because I have OSX 10.6.8 What can I do

I have iphoto7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album I creared LESS THAT A YEAR AGO!!!. Apperently I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system What can I do?

Your profile signature is confusing. There it says "iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)". But your question mentions older systems: " iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system"
Do you have two different Macs? If you have a second mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), you could upgrade that to MAvericks and buy the most recent iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1 from the App Store. That would be the least expensive solution to upgrade your iPhoto.
If you only have iPhoto 7 on OSX 10.6.8, you can can buy the boxed iLife '11 installer package from Amazon. This will install an early version of iPhoto '11, that runs well with your current system and will let you print your book. You will need to run the iPhoto library upgrader to convert your old library, see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
Also, you should be aware, that upgrading your library may change the book layout a bit, because the themes have changed between the versions, so you need to keep a backup copy of the library and iPhoto 7, to be able to compare the upgraded version to the original.

I just noticed that I can no longer get the shuffle feature on my iTunes 10.4.0.80 to work. I've turned it off and on, but it still just goes in order of the playlist. I too have been getting an error msg at computer startup.

I'm not sure how long it's been like this, but I just noticed that my songs no longer shuffle when playing from iTunes (running 10.4.0.80). No matter if "shuffle songs" is off or on, they still just play on down the playlist in order. Could this be related to other problems I'm seeing listed that seem associated with the latest update? I also get an error msg when my computer is starting up that I think is associated with this latest update (something about not being able to read a line from "Apple sync helper" (hope I haven't butchered that too much, haven't had a chance to copy the error msg)). Is this something that's likely to be fixed in a later update?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

I just recently upgraded to iOS 7 and found out that i can no longer hide my text messages on the home screen anymore. Can anyone help with this?

I just recently upgraded my iphone 5 software to ios7 and discovered that i can't hide my text messages as i could previously in ios6.2., can anyone help me out with this?

I had this problem last night as well. Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine. When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal. However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved. I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about. Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW). To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options... One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone. I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time, and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information. When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account. Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up. This resolved the problem for us. I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed. So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.

I just downloaded the update for garageband and I realized that I can no longer find the grid button! Did Garageband get rid of the grid button??? How can I change the bar to 1/32 and 1/64 or swing 1/32 for better, easier, and precise editing?

If I can no longer use a grid button, how can I go about making music precisely? This can be a pain if I have to drag the mouse around left and right to get the right rhythms. This would defeat the whole purpose of upgrading to the latest Garageband. I wish I had the older version if the grid button is gone.

The visible grid is automatic - it will depend on the zoom slider setting and is no longer as versatile as in the previous version.
And you can set an automatic Time Quantize in the Track Editor.
Turn the Tracks area grid on or off
Choose Edit > Snap to Grid.
