My wireless mouse just stopped working.  I can still use the mousepad however.  I changed the batteries does not.  Then I tried another mouse wireless, and it didn't work either.  What can I do next?

Buy an inexpensive wired USB mouse for less than $5 and see if it works.  As far as I'm concerned wireless mice are more trouble than they are worth.  YMMV :-)

Good luck.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook 5000 - I can click but the cursor does not move

    Greetings,

    I have a Bluetooth Notebook 5000 mouse that has a weird problem. It is well connected to my computer bluetooth, and I have all the updated drivers. Since last week, when I move the mouse, the cursor does not move (on the screen), but when I click on (either on the middle left, right, even scroll to the top and bottom), it works.

    My guess is that the laser under the mouse thing is probably broken. I tried different surfaces to see if I got any kind of reaction, but none works.

    Now the other problem is that the PID (as well as other numbers) number under the mouse is partially illegible due to wear. I can't see the last part of the PID.

    Anyone got any ideas? And is there a way that it could be replaced under warranty, even with an incomplete PID?

    Best regards

    Hello Philippe,

    Thanks again for the update.

    It is possible that there is a hardware problem.

  • Can I use the product key of Windows 7 on another computer

    I have an old Acer (3 yrs Old) computer that has win 7 Home Pre. installed. The computer died and is no longer functional. Can I use the key I want to re - format and install Windows 7 on another computer?

    Not on computers preinstalled

    The activation key belongs to the Assembly of the computer if it shows a tag oem on the bottom or the side of the case.

  • iTunes can't find the music, does not recognize mouse clicks

    I am in iTunes in an environment Windows 10.

    Due to a series of hardware problems, I had to spend all my music on an external hard drive, and I think that I put in place the appropriate file structure, with songs in the album folders, album files in the files of the artist, artist folders in a folder titled music and this folder in a folder called iTunes. The library database is on C, where is the iTunes program. No matter if I put iTunes preferences to search for music in E:\\iTunes\ or E:\\iTunes\Music, it can't find about 60 000 pieces. If I orders of iTunes to the location of the 1 of them, it can not find others in the same album folder which it considers as missing. AND, at this point, iTunes begins to ignore mouse clicks; so I can not help it find any music more without stopping it through master. (This is a newly installed version of iTunes, I can't get it to display the version number).

    If I left click on the icon of iTunes in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, nothing happens. If I right click I can get iTunes to view by clicking on "go to the current song," which shows the current song, but also shows a spinning blue "O" (windows 10 equivalent of the hourglass).

    Any ideas on how I can:

    -Download iTunes to see all my files;

    -Recognize mouse clicks?

    Thank you.

    False alarm on the mouse click on the question; the program was busy to search for files and insensitive to the clicks as it did.

    He found all but about 2 000 files. It is a manageable number for me locate manually.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

  • can I use the same USB cable for two printers - HP Officejet 4315 and HP Officejet 6110?

    I have an existing HP Officejet 4315 with USB cable and want to use the same cable replacement for my other printers, the HP Officejet 6110.  This allows me to change the cable between the printer and still work?

    Thank you for your thoughtful replies.

    As you asked specifically about the compatibility of the USB cable, I would say that it will work because both devices support USB 2.0 (that is, both devices can be used with the same USB cable alternating).

    Installation of the software for the two devices must be made successfully to use various functions.

  • Can I use the Lightroom 5 upgrade on a Lightroom 4.4 students and teachers edition?

    Hello

    I currently own an edition Lightroom 4 students / teacher. I'm pretty happy with it, but thinking about the upgrade to the 7 5 d Mark II which is not supported by Lightroom. I am only a student for a very short period, so I have to either buy a LR 5 student and teacher now (which could be a call to close due to my status as a student miss in two weeks) or buy the upgrade version later. (They cost almost the same) But I don't know if my version of Lightroom can be improved. I remember there used to be limits in place, do not let upgrade you, but as far as I remember, it was a limitation of Photoshop. Impossible to find hard facts about this however, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Manu

    The fact that you were a student is only qualified to buy Lightroom student discount prices. Now that you have a license you have purchased, you are eligible to purchase future updates. There is no limit of time on it, and you don't need to be a student to be able to buy the upgrade installation. You might want to consider using the DNG Converter and waiting just a little time to see if Lightroom 6 came out. Nobody knows who when is the release date, and historically, it is that those who have bought Lightroom within 30 days of a new update will qualify for a free copy of the new version. But the choice is yours. In direct answer to your question, Yes, you can purchase the upgrade. Just a note of caution. Be sure to keep your original serial number where you will have access to it. It takes in more the serial number for the upgraded version. If you install an upgrade on new computer were Lightroom 4 is not installed or has not been installed, you will be required to provide this and a new serial number.

  • Photo filter in CS4 - using the eyedropper does not work

    Sometimes I correct a dominant book using the photo filter, a technique that I shot of Katrin Eismann "restoration and retouching" color all over.


    You add a layer of Photo filter, make sure the 'brightness' checkbox is checked, push 'density' up to 100% and click the shade of color in the dialog box.


    Select color filter dialog box opens, with digital displays for STL, RGB, CMYK and Lab color In addition, the cursor turns into a dropper.


    You click in a box to the image problem. Change numbers. You reverse the 'a' and 'b' values in LAB color boxes. For example if LAB is called 65,16,24, you replace 16 and 24-16 and -24 (so that in my example the LABORATORY values are now 65-16,-24. You click OK and then adjust the opacity of the layer of color filter to your liking.


    Today I tried this in CS4 for the first time. When I click in a box to the image problem, LAB values becomes 100,0,0 - whatever the picture, no matter where I click.


    This result is not consistent. I did a number of tests on 2 different images, try stuff as brightness release, mowing the Photo layer filter to the underlying layer, use the dialog box filter of Photo that you can access from the bottom of the layers palette, rather than the settings panel, etc. Twice I got reasonable values when I clicked on the picture of the select a color filter dialog box. But try again the same parameters (brightness turned off, for example) into another image, or in the same image, led to the now dreaded 100,0,0


    I have reset my prefs. Same result.


    I got my partner to try it. He got the same result. I am running CS4 on Windows 7 x 64. It is on a Mac with Snow Leopard.


    Is this a known issue?


    Thank you


    Mary

    This is because the layer mask is active and therefore clicking on the image with the eyedropper picked up the pure white of the layer mask. You can also see that, in the title bar, it should say something like (Photo Filter 1, Layer Mask/8). To fix it just click on the adjustment layer thumbnail of the
