Impossible to reset PRAM (mouse problem)

After several attempts, I don't then reset the PRAM as I usually end up on the screen of regular connection or, occationally, I go into the menu Utilities (recovery, Disk utilities etc.).

The heart of the problem is that my Magic Mouse (battery 100% "") is connected and can move the arrow around the screen; However, he does not 'click' to select an item. Potential use only what I've found is to do a reset of the PRAM, which, for me, has been easier said that done then.

I read that using a wired keyboard can work better and I will work (buy or borrow) if I need; However, this seems a bit backward engineering.

I read Apple's documentation as well as several previous posts but nothing got past this first hurdle, so:

1. the issue of the mouse without a PRAM reset?

2 - is their way to 'force' a PRAM reset without the sequence of CMD-OPT-P-R?

It is a vanilla with no returned software/hardware iMac any change or modification, the mouse does not only work after waking, he.

The magic mouse you may have particles obstacles between you prevent of fully by clicking.

A reset of the PRAM will not affect the mouse or devices not integral to the computer. It's like the RAM to store and access data quickly for some settings.

[Cmd] + [Opt] + [P] + [R] is the only method to reset the PRAM. Make sure you are very quick to turn on the computer and press these keys right after.

It can help trying to make a (System Management Controller) SMC reset as well.

  • Equium L40 - 17 M mouse problem

    Hi all

    This afternoon, my right mouse button started playing up. When I use a browser - either Firefox or IE - and I right click on a hyperlink, it opens the new page in the current page. He mentions normal "right click menu", I want to keep, but I want to stop opening the page automatically in my current window. If I switch the mouse button settings, so that the right button is the primary button and the left is secondary, I don't have the problem. It occurs when the right button is the secondary button. I haven't changed anything that I know, not played around with anything... It just started doing it by herself!

    Any help anyone has would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance,

  • Impossible to reset values LOV

    Hello

    I have a jsff page. I have LOV dependent as below

    JDEV version: 11.1.1.5.0

    LOV_A
    LOV_B
    LOV_C
    LOV_D
    LOV_E

    LOV_B depends on LOV_A
    LOV_C, LOV_D depend on LOV_B
    LOV_E depends on LOV_D

    LOV are working properly and to submit, the main Main_VO which holds these LOV is < B > application < /B > VO not based on entities.

    < b > < /b > problem: impossible to reset values LOV selected

    < b > approaches followed up here < /b >:
    1 ResetButton

    2 CommandButton control with < af:resetActionListener / > and immediate = "true" >

    3. at the bean, I tried to update the Main_VO with the code below
    currentRow.refresh (currentRow.REFRESH_UNDO_CHANGES); Here the line current is slected line in the user interface
    Fortunately this resets the values of all the drop downs, unfortunately LOV contains previously triggered lists and even addiction is lost

    4. I changed the LOV_A value attribute like below as suggested by Frank in a thread

    < af:selectOneChoice < b > value = "#{backingBeanScope.AddEventOnOrderReleases.BindVariable}"< /b > "

    < f: selectItems value = "#{bindings." BsResponsiblePartyGid1.items}.
    ID = "si2" / >
    < / af:selectOneChoice >

    This change, I see a conversion error cannot convert < b > Integer < /b > < b > RichSelectOneChoice < /b >

    In this regard, any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Hi, I can not find the cuda switch in my PowerMac dual g4 in the opposite direction, what is the difference between reset pram by touch or cuda?

    Hello

    I can't find the switch cuda in my PowerMac g4 dual mirrored, 1.00

    What is the difference between reset pram by touch or cuda?

    Switching on the open Mac I can see a small red light and I listen to the classic sound

    but nothing on the monitor.

    FireWire connection with my mac Mini, I can view and save the hd PowerMac

    The battery was completed in December 2012 (it's weird, cause I bought the double

    years before and never changed)

    Thanks for your attention and sorry for my English...

    First of all, I have to warn. G4 MDD don't have a CUDA button and old Macs - it has a PMU reset button. The difference is that, for a computer with the PMU system like yours, you give the key ONLY a short thrust, not longer than a second.

    If treat you it as if it was a CUDA button and hold for 20 seconds, you will seriously damage your computer. That said, this image shows the location of the PMU reset in a G4 MDD:

    What is the difference between reset pram by keyboard or cuda?

    Since your G4 has no CUDA reset ability, this becomes a moot point. In the old Mac (G3 Beige and more - the "Old world ROM" Macs) reset PRAM via the keyboard is not completely zero everything; the CUDA reset did.

  • Strange mouse problem

    I have a new laptop HP 8440 and I'm having a very strange mouse problem.  The point of the mouse on the screen from time to time will crawl slowly towards the top of the screen.  This occurs when you use the Touchpad mouse or when you use a USB optical mouse.  The mouse buttons remain active and navigation mouse continues to function (so I can pull the mouse down of his craawl), but he continued to creep upward.

    This does not happen all the time and 'fixed' after 5 minutes of me being frustrated.  I don't think this is driver-related, but my mouse driver is 5.1.2600.0

    Any ideas?

    Hi Pappytopp,

    1. run the troubleshooter from the link below: hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows:http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems

    2. also try to disable the touchpad then use the optical mouse and check the results.

  • Laptop mouse problems

    My laptop seems to have mouse problems lately.  It is to select things too fast for me.  It highlights all, or choose something just because I'm pointing at it, even if I click on the object.  Is there a way to fix this?  I looked threw the help, and I've been able to find how to change the appearance of my mouse.  Where should I look to fix the sensitivity that my mouse seems to have?

    The controls are generally in the start menu / Control Panel / mouse.  If the options you want are not listed here, they are not available on the system.  You can try to check with the manufacturer of the mouse or the computer manufacturer (if the mouse came with it) for updated device drivers firmware or software and install it.  Restart and test the mouse in Control Panel.  You can now have new options that were not there before.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Mac Pro RAM, Audio, Bluetooth mouse problems

    I recently bought an Apple factory refurbished Mac Pro (end 2013) and replaced the three-chip RAM of 4 GB with 16 GB of Crucial two chips. Everything was great for the first two weeks. Then I started having a strange audio problem. Audio would become suddenly agitated. I disconnected and reconnected the speaker output and it would start working again. Finally, unplug the unit and plug the unit has stopped working (audio would eventually just stop working completely... zero sound with or without the speaker plugged in...) and I had to restart the computer.

    Then one day I noticed that only 16 GB of RAM showed up (I run own memory, so he's in my toolbar). I opened the machine and moved the two chips on the other side and when I rebooted, I got 32GB again.

    Then I noticed that when the audio problem came once again (he seems to be after the computer has been for a few hours or more) my Apple bluetooth mouse would disconnect and reconnect intermittently... ONLY when the audio starts to get restless again.

    I zapped the PRAM several times and now I get the 32 GB of RAM only after disconnecting the chips and MOVING them to another location, but not all the time. The audio port will begin to spoil, I reboot and I'm back to 16 GB.

    So, is it bad RAM? I removed a single chip and the audio problem still happens.

    Anyone have this problem? Apple Care suggested I bring it in the Apple Store, but I thought that I ask here before go this road, just in case there is a known issue.

    Thank you!!

    Rick...

    To establish if it is a RAM problem, remove 16Bb sticks and replace the original 4 GB sticks.

    "Well, it's embarrassing.

    Firefox has struggle to recover your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

    You can try:

       Starting an entirely new browsing session"
    

    No Web page was opened at this time. Impossible also to update firefox.

    Hello wang66:

    Welcome to Hp on the Support Forum. Please goto a store and buy a keyboard and USB mouse real cheep if you don't have an old around back upward. As in this case. If your keyboard still works then just by a mouse. Rite Aid wear them to about $10.00 a USB mouse. This you'll get until you get your game of mouse and keyboard from HP parts store replacement. The manufactured integrated mouse program mouse is corrupt. Check the status of your warranty to see if your computer is still under warranty. HP will replace for free if so.  If your computer is under warranty, contact HP direct assistance. If it is not then goto HP parts store. http://h20141.www2.HP.com/hpparts/default.aspx?cc=us&lang=en here is the information that you will need the mouse and the keyboard value HP sent me for my replacement of my box.

    P/N 511400-ZH1 REV:A1.1 S / N [personal information deleted] CT: BBEWLOALWZE2NO

    What exact number you need I don't know if I've provided all the numbers. Unfortunately, we cannot repair the software damaged in the mouse, keyboard or Blue Tooth device complete is a way to replace all three pieces together ok. So when you get your new game don't forget to replace all things together. Each one is programmed to perform as a whole. Is not working properly if you use a part of your old game because it is impossible to tell where the corruption is at. For now, my keyboard has become corrupted and my mouse worked fine, but I had to replace everything as a whole.  Please click on Bravo if this solves your problem. Thank you frrw.

  • Windows 7 mouse problem - my mouse has been lagging and skipping

    My mouse has been trolling and jumping, it happens mainly when there is another process that is (microsoft word, sony vegas, adobe photoshop, youtube video, etc.) and sometimes when nothing is open she does it anyway. I tried to use different mouse (HP 2.4 ghz wireless mouse optical mobile and a logitech wireless optical mouse) and different usb ports. I tried to adjust its processes to high priority. I have updated drivers for my EAH4850 512 MB graphics card and my AMD Phenom quad core Black edition. I tried different surfaces with the same result, tried to change the sensitivity and resolution. updated my catalyst control center and I tried a little overclocking with AMD overdrive. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, and I never had this problem until last week.
