Trackpad + CD issues. Help greatly appreciated.

Hi.
I'm having two major issues with my iBook:
1)
The mouse trackpad freezes after a certain time of use. The only thing that helps is restarting the computer, after which the mouse gets progressively worse untill it freezes completely again. This takes about 30 min. each time.
Everything else is working fine, including keyboard shortcuts. It's just the mouse that stops working (and that includes the button to, btw).
I've tried resetting the PMU , but that didn't help. Eventually I deleted my entire computer, and reinstalled the system. Didn't help either. I noticed the problem was still there even when I booted from the install CD.
2)
I'm having problems reading burnt CD's. Even CD's that I just burnt on my own computer, and that are supposed to be fine.
They'll ususally work for the first couple of times after burning, but eventually if I try to insert it, my computer tells me that the disc I inserted is empty(!). But they're definetely not empty, you can see it clearly on the back of the CD to. This is a problem that has always been there, more or less, but I've gotten to a point where I'm really fed up with it. In general the CD/DVD station is really sluggish. Makes a lot of noice to.
DVD's work fine, normal CD's (not burnt) work fine. Burnt CD's usually don't.
Sometimes it helps trying to insert the CD a number of times.
Help appreciated.

Thanks to both Ronda and Barry for replying.
Good news first:
As for the CD-issue, I followed the instructions provided on another thread:
hey all you are not going to believe this. I turned the ibook upside down with the drive open and there is a small metal disk all i did was clean this with alcohol and cottton. Fixed it must be some sort of electrical or magnetic switch. i hope this helps
I can confirm that works. Been with this problem for almost 2 months on my Toshiba combo drive, and tried everything (hardware and software) but cleaning the little metal contact made the problem go away. It seems like it is an electrical connection that fails when dirty.
All you have to do is open the tray, and look for a little circular metal contact near the center of the tray (in the opposite side of the tray from the one you put discs into, this is, the bottom side). Clean it with a soft cloth and you're all set! Insert a disc and it will play.
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68aa52cb
And it worked! As for now, my computer is recognizing the same CD's that it wouldn't right before I cleaned it. So I think that problem is gone now.
To Barry:
I was having bigger problems reading CD's burnt on other computers than for those burnt on my own. Those from my own computer would usually work for a couple of times (or untill the next time I restarted my computer). But who knows, maybe the solution above will work for you sons computer as well.
Now the mouse issue:
I haven't booted from OS 9, but I guess booting from a CD gives me the same info. And the problem was still there when I booted from the CD.
I also tried the instructions provided on another thread, but sadly it didn't work for me:
scott raymoure, "dead trackpad", 08:45pm Jun 5, 2005 CDT
But I still have a feeling it might be a software issue:
1) Rebooting the computer helps, after which the mouse works for about 30 min. Wouldn't this be more random if it was hardware?
2) It often happends just as I perform some kind of task on the computer. Eg, open another tab in Safari, open mail......basicly when I run several small processes at once. At least I think so, of course it could be my imagination.
3) After erasing my computer and installing everything again, the mouse issue actually got WORSE. If it was hardware, I suppose it would have stayed the same. But the issue is signigicantly worse now.
But one thing especially bothers me:
When I hit the computer to the left of the trackpad, it fixes the problem for a short while. I suppose this is consistent with a Logic Board Failure. But the problem is, I just had my Logic Board exchanged about 2 months ago. Could it be broken already now? If so, can I expect having to change the Locic Board six times per year?
Thanks again for replies to both of you, and good luck to Barry with the CD-issue.
P.S.
I bought the computer new almost 3 years ago and I do not have apple care protection plan.

  • RADIUS \ NPS - Connection Issues - Help greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I have been banging my head on this issue, and would greatly appreciate some assistance getting this worked out. My goal here is to authenticate both domain & non-domain devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc) to my network. I'll followed
    several tutorials without much luck - and I feel my lack of knowledge on this particular topic weighing on me. 
    I am currently working in a lab environment, which consists of a Server 2012 VM with Active Directory installed and configure. I've also setup and configured my Wireless Access Point, which i've confirmed works just fine using WPA-Personal. I've
    installed NPS, as well as AD CS using all of the defaults.
    I'd like to know the opinions of anyone here as to the best way to set up this environment for my needs. As mentioned above, I want to be authenticating both Domain and non-domain devices. Should I have to be setting up certificates of some sort
    for this goal? Or can I stick with just plain AD user/pw access? 
    I've configured my WAP for WPA-Enterprise, specified the RADIUS server IP, and entered the shared secret. I've configured NPS w/ my RADIUS client (that being my WAP). My Wireless Policy consists of the following:
    Overview:
    Policy Enabled
    Grant Access
    Ignore User account dial-in properties checked.
    Type of network access server: Unspecified.
    Conditions:
    NAS Port Type - Wireless - Other OR wireless - IEEE 802.11
    Windows Group - DomainName\Wireless Users (I created the Wireless Users security group and added one newly created user to the group)
    Constraints:
    EAP Types: Microsoft: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
    Less Secure Auth. methods selected: MS-CHAP-V2, MS-CHAP
    Everything else in the network policy is set as its default, and i've registered the NPS server in AD. 
    My attempts to connect fail, and the only relevant Event Log that is being processed is in the Network Policy and Server Log is what i've copied below. Please ask for any information that may help me work this out, i'm all ears! 
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You receive this message when there is an incompatibility in authentication between the client and server.
    Check the authentication protocol on the client and verify if its the same as the authentication protocol configured in your network policy.
    Besides, secure password EAP-MS-CHAP v2 is an EAP type that can be used with PEAP, for password-based network authentication. EAP-MsCHAPv2 can also be used as a standalone method for VPN, but only as a PEAP inner method for wireless.
    For detailed information about EAP-MSCHAPv2, please view the link below,
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh945104.aspx#BKMK_LAN_SecPWD
    Therefore, we recommend that you need to change your authentication method on both of server and client.
    Moreover, if you change the authentication method to PEAP, you need to implement ADCS in your environment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi, back ups to my TC suddenly won't work saying there's a problem with network username/password.  Any help greatly appreciated!

    I've deselected the disc, reselected it & re-entered the password 3 times now with no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    It sounds like you have much more issues than simply the TC..
    I can suggest or have suggested the workaround to the TC problem.
    Did you try it??
    What happened if you did?
    Did you simply try the standard old reboot the TC.. ie yank out the power cord. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
    That magically fixes lots of network issues.
    Mavericks has some major issues.. do you upgrade install.
    Let me strongly recommend a clean install.. if you haven't done it. Your issues with safari look like a corrupted install to me.. but I am not an eggs spurt in OS issues.. by any long stretch of the imagination.. post the issue over in the Mavericks area.
    But as an old computer support man.. (old should be emphasised) upgrade installation are anethma.. I have never seen them work 100% and that includes with Mac. Of course you cannot expect windows to work.. but things go wrong in every OS.. no matter how wonderful.
    Make sure you have a good TM backup .. clean install and migrate your documents back.. maybe reinstall software from scratch. Not easy but the only way.

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
    - or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Losing communication with DAQ devices - help greatly appreciated

    All,
    I have been working on a VI whose function is the following:
    - Acquire data from three sources
         - A block of eight displacement sensors connected via RS232 (using a USB adapter)
         - An NI-USB 6210 card measuring voltages across eight batteries
         - Another NI-USB 6210 card measuring voltage across four load cells (these correspond to batteries one through four).
         - Data acquired at 1 Hz, written at 0.2 Hz (no buffer - simply writes one fifth of data recorded)
    - Open/close a relay board based on certain inputs
    - Provide basic UI functionality to control data manipulation, display data, and write data to text files
    - Write data to text files
    We have run four tests with this VI.  Each test runs for anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.  During three of these four tests, we have lost connection with one or both of our NI DAQ cards.  I have attached one of the output files - notice that in the 'Current (mA)/Voltage (V)' and 'Load (N)' columns, at a certain point on of the cards starts reading 'NaN', followed soon after by the other card.  Note that this has happened on two different computers, one laptop and one desktop, both of which had hibernate/sleep disabled.
    For your reference, I have attached the VI.  This VI will not run as there are some subVIs that I have not included; these subVIs do not do anything critical to the execution of the program.  The program generally runs as follows:
    - Initially, a subVI runs that aids the user in selecting the appropriate COM port and USB devices.
    - The VISA device and DAQ cards are initialized, all relays are opened, variables are initialized
    - In parallel, there are two producer timed loops, one consumer for loop and an event loop
         - One producer loop continuously acquires voltage data from both DAQ cards.  When the loop is over, basic DC voltage values are taken from all samples in each buffer, and the values are enqueued
         - One producer loop acquires one reading per loop from the displacement sensor (via a VISA Write -> VISA read), and the response string is enqueued.  
         - The consumer loop runs at a similar timing as the producer loops (blocked using queues).  It manipulates, displays, and records acquired data. It also opens relay channels if the corresponding displacement values are greater than a set threshold.
         - The event loop opens text files for writing when a button is depressed, as well as performing basic tasks such as clearing graphs, etc. 
    What is the cause of this issue?  What am I doing wrong?  This error is preventing us from running tests at our company.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Bryan

    Wayne,
    Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited in this area.  We are using an ADU208 USB relay from Ontrak (information here: http://www.ontrak.net/ADU208.htm).  We are using the bundled subVIs to open/close each channel of the relay depending on the acquired data.  How could this relay board affect the DAQ communication?  
    It may also be important to note - I have tried to make this VI so that all devices need not be used all of the time.  That is, sometimes we choose to not use the relay, sometimes we choose to not measure load, and sometimes we choose not to measure current.  This means that we do not always have the same hardware connected, but the software runs the same and deals with the resulting errors appropriately (hopefully).  The previously attached output file is from a test where the relay was not connected, however the relay commands were still run (and presumably threw errors).
    Thanks again for your help

  • Hi, my Macbook says its connected to the internet, but it's not working.  It's about 2 years old and has been fine up until now.  Its the same internet provider and I have a work PC laptop that is connecting fine.  Any help greatly appreciated.  Liz

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet, although it says it is connected.  The laptop is about 2 years old and up until now has worked fine.  My work PC laptop is connecting to the internet fine so I know it can't be the connection.   I've checked for Adware/Malware (just in case) via safemac and that all seems fine.
    I'm running OSX 10.8.5.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
    I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
    So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet?

    Add a loop to display 20 blank lines (effectively clearing the screen).
    After the switch statement, prompt the user to press the ENTER key and then read a line from the keyboard. This stops the code from looping to the next menu display, so the user can read the response to their choice.

  • 'PC Companion' issues - help much appreciated!

    Hi guys - anyones' help would be greatly appreciated! I'm having problems backing up my Z3's files before sending the phone away to the insurer for repair.
    I dropped the phone, smashed the screen and have also broken the phones' touch-screen function. So it's absolutely unuseable aside from the lock and camera buttons! I removed the SIM, put it in my old Xperia Z and now I'm now up and running on that.
    However! When I connect the Z3 to my PC to try and back it up and open up the 'PC Companion' to access the files, it says a SIM must be in the phone and that the PIN code must have been inserted. The phone has no SIM as it's in my old one and even if it did I couldn't enter the PIN as the screen is broken!
    How can I get the files from my PC without having this SIM and PIN?! There must be a way!
    Thanks for your time and help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This worked mate, thank you so much for your help! It's not common for people to reply to someone who's 'signed up just so they can get some help', I'd usually just get ignored, so massive appreciation for that.
    I plugged in a standard laser mouse using this mini-to-normal USB adapter and then used the cursor input my pin, lock code etc that way so that it'd talk with PC Companion. I then left the phone unlocked while I backed it up and job done!
    I was worried at first that I'd be at risk of losing all my stuff if I could't back it up before sending it away
    Thanks again!!!

  • OTL (Additional Input Value) help greatly appreciated

    Hi there,
    I have a requirement where we wish to use OTL for a front end to a number of allowances which require the population of additional input values on the element. These could be for example miles travelled or the method of travel.
    Does anyone know how this can be done?
    I am envisaging creating an element with the following input values :-
    Hours
    Multiple
    Rate
    Rate Code
    Miles
    I need the additional field to be displayed on the timecard. Does this require custom timecard templates? How do I make the additional field on the timecard populate the Miles input value when the time entry is transferred from OTL to BEE.
    Any advice on this would be very greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks and have a great week
    Kev

    You need to follow these steps:
    1. Add the input values to your Element, check element link, include the element to your element set, run "generate flexfield process" with the above element set.
    2. Create mapping components for each of the new fields which you want to show on the timecard to let system know which column these attributes will get mapped to.
    3. Add the mapping components to your receiving application's Retrieval and Deposit process.
    4. Now modify your timecard layouts to show the additional fields you want to show.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

    The user should input ONE letter from the keyboard. The user should also input a width as an integer to determine the width of the letters. This input should be at least 5 and up to 20; if the user enters less than 5 or more than 20, issue an error message for the user and quit the program.
    Replies are gratly appreciated!!!
