Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

Have you tried to edit your settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse?

Cliffs:
-Open new tabs from original page.
-Clicking reload icon or hitting F5 will not work on new tabs, but works on original page.
-Can "right click" reload tab or all tabs, but reload icon and F5 won't work.

How can I disable right/left mouse buttons and scroll wheel in PDF?

Hi all,
I want the user to have to click on "forward" and "back" buttons that I've created in the PDF, in order to move around in it. Is there any way to disable the mouse buttons and scroll wheel from allowing users to go back and forth?
Also, a separate question: I want the user to click on embedded images and receive either a pop-up comment, or be re-directed to another page in the PDF. Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks for your time!

You can achieve what you want in Question 1, just not via scripting. You would need to create a plug-in in C/C++ that would be installed on the client machine. Other than that option, try67 is correct - there is no way to achieve this from the document-level.

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

All button and touch pad not working except power button

I face the problems that all button and touch pad not working after power on or wake up from sleep state except power button. And i have make the system sleep and wake again so that the mac book air can working as normal( mouse can move and button got response).

Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

Lenovo Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with Trackpoint: Middle mouse button and scrolling

I got this keyboard (KU-1255).
Unfortunately, it generates bogus mouse button events if I click the middle mouse button and use the trackpoint:
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" disabled, the middle mouse button is released as soon as I move the trackpoint while still pressing the button!
Expected behaviour: The middle mouse button is pressed, the event created. Moving the trackpoint moves the cursor normally. Releasing the middle button creates a corresponding event.
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" enabled, the button is registered as pressed, then scrolling occurs as I move the trackpoint and the button is released if I release it.
Expected behaviour: No middle mouse button event is registered if I move the trackpoint. Pressing and releasing the middle mouse button is only registered if I click the button without moving the trackpoint.
When will there be a firmware update available for the keyboard, like for the SK-8855?
Since I am also using Linux, I would be really interested in fixing this in the firmware, not only getting a new Windows driver.

Help please.

Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

I have several problems that I think are related.
1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
pen input
touch input
Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
it thinks another screen is active or
the touch components are completely non functional.
4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
Not all of them resulted in a clean install.
Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
AMD AHCI - started catalyst installer then failed
Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
TIA

[knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling). Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.

Red record button and play arrow not working for videos. Any way to make work again?

Red record button and play arrow quit working. Any way to fix?

Try this and see if it works for you. Close the Camera App in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once, then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app. Tap the home button again.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why does my right mouse button automattically paste when clicked? The option should be there, it should not paste whatever has been coppied without me clicking

Did you post from the system that has the problem? (Your "More System Details" list shows Flash 11.7 instead of 11.8 for some reason.)
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash ''(I see from your post that you've done this part)''
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

Why does my Magic Mouse keep losing connection?

I've had my Magic Mouse for about 6 months now. I use it with my MacBook Pro RD. It works fine most of the time but every now and then it would lose connection for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. This happens even with newly replaced batteries so I know it's not a battery problem. I really expected better from what I thought would be a high quality mouse from Apple.
I am thinking of sending it back to be repaired or something, but when I entered its serial number to check the warranty status, I get the error "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again." In fact, the serial number printed on my mouse's battery compartment has 17 characters but the support page here only allows you to enter a 14-character serial number! What is going on?

I was having the same problem and found another thread with the solution. Basically the problem is some batteries do not fit tightly in the compartment and jiggle around causing the mouse to lose power and therefore the connection. The solution is either buy the apple rechareable batteries or wedge a piece of paper in between the batteries and the compartment lid (I used a bit on an index card fold over on itself). Once I did that = no more lost connection every 10 minutes.
The thread I'm referring to is here:

Posting in case someone else (like I did) comes here looking for an answer.

Why does the magic mouse battery level drop suddenly?

I typically get, oh, about 3 weeks off of a pair of AA alkaline 1.5V batteries on my magic mouse.
What I don't understand though is not really being able to track the battery level in the bluetooth menu on my iMac 21.5".
The battery level even now is at 100%. What happens is is that it stays at 100% for several weeks and then all of a sudden drops to 7% or so, and I get a low battery warning. Then after a couple of days the battery will drain out.
After it drops down to 7% I can usually track the battery drain in the menu. But I never see it at 90% or 80% or 50%, etc. It just drops down suddenly near the end of the battery life.
Do other people see more continuous changes of the battery level?
The same thing happens with my bluetooth Apple keyboard that came with the iMac. Right now it is showing a level of 100%. It typically lasts for months instead of weeks, but I will never see an in-between battery level value until I get a low-battery warning.
I'm thinking of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse. But I see too many negatives posted here in the forums about that, so I am hesitant about investing in those batteries and a charger if it's not going to work well.
Thanks,
doug

Maybe it's a Mac model issue? I'm running the late 2009 model, purchased in February 2010, and running Lion.
But I've never seen the battery level display in-between values.
Here's what it is showing now and I replaced the batteries over a week ago.
Do your batteries also last a few weeks in the magic mouse?
Thanks,

HT4101 Why does my lightning sd card reader connection kit not work on my iPad mini since I upgraded to ios7.

Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.

Try rebooting your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket? If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it.

Sound buttons and mute switch not working

My iPhone 4 has no sounds through the phone speaker except when I play music. It works fine through a dock or bluetooth in my car.
Also, the side 'sound buttons' do not work. ie - when I switch the mute switch to either on or off (and it becomes orange) nothing shows on the screen, also when I push the volume buttons up or down, nothing comes up on the screen.
I have tried: turning it on and off, resetting it, cleaning the charging port with a dry brush, checking the settings to make sure it should be playing sounds, inserting head phones a few times.
I have recently updated to the new 6.1 iOS update, but it was doing this before I updated it.
I can't think of anything notable that happened when it started doing this a few days ago. Seems random...
Also, my iPhone has had sound problems before (speaker crackling and not working) but the side buttons still registered on the screen, and also I could fix it by charging it.
Anybody got any handy hints?? Cheers.

It's ok, I fixed it.
I got an iPhone 5. Bravo to apple for making me buy another one of their products.

Portege M750 tablet, buttons and fingerprint functions not working in win7

I have installed win7 64 bit ("fresh install" on my M750-129) and i have also downloaded and installed all the newest drivers from toshiba website.
the device manager shows no problem / drivers needed, and trhings like HDD protection work well.
However, i have four groups of problems i would love and appreciate to find answer:
1) when i change the screen position to tablet, it does not change the orientation nor the resolution.
There is no utility to set the desired orientations of screen as it was in vista (horribly unstable and slow OS, though).
This, naturally, is diminishing the usefullness of the tablet finction
2) the buttons do not work properly; the screen rotation button starts excel (!!) , the centre of mobility button starts word (!!), and the toshiba assistance button does not work at all
3) fingerprints: the fingerprint utility lets me to screen my fingerprint, asks if it should save it, and than says "saving impossible; another duplicate pattern exists" which i completely do not understand what it means...
4) some applications are not available at all after fresh install: face recognition, DVD player, bussines card screener - but i can love without those; 1-3 worries me much much more and i would appreciate any functional help. thanx on advance for any try!

hi,
helpful indeed - the installation of the tablet extension pack for vista , it helps to rotate when i switch for tablet even in win7 64 bit - thanxalot!
as for buttons, the first left ones still launch ms word and ms excel....
fingerprints: strangely enough, even if tghat was a clean installation, there were my old fingerprints (user "???") registered and it did not allow me to delete untill i found one little finger i did not register with viste BEFORE the CLEAN isnatallation with formatting the HD - is not that strange?
however, the buttons i hope will be ok once the drivers will be updated by toshibq for win7 64 bit, the main issues were solved for me - thank you once again!
