What to do when Clear Now button stops working - it no longer clears cache?

After browsing, I would, most times, clear cache by going to options and then pressing the Clear Now button. This always worked before. But, today it won't do anything.
Are there other ways to clear cache or to delete temporary internet files and clear any data or passwords posted to gain entry to certain websites? - matt

Saxman,
I think their parachute effort was System Preferences > Bluetooth > Advanced... > "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup when no input device is present". In your case the keyboard was there so it probably didn't open. Now that you have a mouse and trackpad, you should have at least one of them connect, so that's a bit of insurance.
I would also add those devices to bluetooth favorites located under the gear icon below the list. Select "show more information" if you don't see the favorites selection.
Regards,
Captfred

  • The "clear now" button not working on cached web content

    I clicked Tools>option>advanced>cached web content, then clicked the "clear now" button>ok, nothing showed as if the button is not working and there was no clear action.

    That button to clear the cache is likely broken because the current Firefox 32 release has switched to a new cache service named Cache2.
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/32.0/releasenotes/
    This change will cause extensions that use the old cache service to stop working and its developer needs to update the extension.
    You can check the Add-ons website to see if there is already a version available that is possibly not approved yet.

  • I am having difficulty clearing the cache on the latest upgrade of Firefox. I click both clear now buttons in preferences but the images remain cached.

    I close the tab, click both clear now buttons in preferences > advanced, but the images do not update to newly uploaded ones on my site. I had a long session with my CDN and it is not their issue. It does not occur on Safari or Chrome, only Firefox. I updated to the latest version two days ago. Please advise on this bug... issue... or procedure...
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

  • What to do when my iPhone5 camera stop working?

    My iPhone5 camera and flashlight stop working. Face time camera works fine but back camera including video camera are frozen when I press the push bottom.
    Sometimes I can retrieve my  pictures to view from the phone by using push bottom. But other times camera push bottom does not respond.

    If no change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes.
    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes - especially after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

    My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

    Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

    After installing ios7, my ipad buttons stopped working, I can't even turn off the ipad. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

    Try to reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the
    Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot
    normally.

  • What makes the Print Screen and End Buttons stop working?

    I am 3 weeks into the trial period. Twice before, the Print Screen (manual capture) and End buttons stopped working. The only way I found to correct this is to uninstall and reinstall the application. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

    More information on this issue: When I start recording in any mode, one screen is captured. No other screens are captured during execution on program functions, menu selection, navigation, etc. Once again I removed and re-installed the application. This time it made no difference.

  • My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

  • My home button stop working. what to do?

    Hello,
    i have an ipad2. Suddenly, the home button stop working. Someone could help me please?

    This requires the use of the home button, but try it anyway.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, try this. Calibrate the home button
    1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
    2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

  • Miro's power button stopped working

    Suddenly my phone's power button stopped working. I can't lock/unlock the phone nor turn it off :/ Tried to take a screen shot, to restart the device but nothing happened. I dropped the phone only once or twice before months, it hasn't been in touch with water and such. Now I almost can't use my phone unless when I put the phone on charger Did anyone have the same problem? What should I do?

    Haven't heard of this before actually. I would recommend that you send this phone to a service center for repair. Contact your local Xperia Support for more information:http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

  • Volume buttons stopped working

    Since updating to 2.0 the volume buttons stopped working. I'm not sure what happened as my playbook has never been dropped or damaged. I keep it in a case that protects it very well. The buttons do not indicate the volume changing when pressed so I have to use the slider in the music app to turn up or down.
    Anyone else have or heard of this problem? My playbook is only 2 months old.
    Thanks

    I just got my PlayBook back from "repair" and my volume buttons don't work, the camera doesn't work, and when I go to pictures it doesn't work either. I don't know what to do, this hard reboot things doesn't work and my warranty has run out about now. But if they send it back and it's still an overpriced paperweight, shouldn't they take it in again and fix it proper? I used to be proud RIM was a Canadian company, now I'm just ashamed...

  • Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

    After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
    This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
    The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
    When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
    I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
    So now, I don't know what to do.
    Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
    It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

    If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously
