Powermate Problem

mac man 020581 · May 10, 2003 10:37PM

I recently bought the Powermate from Griffen Technology. And, I have this annoying problem, if I boot up my computer the Powermate will work, the majority of the time. However, if I boot it up another time, it won't work, so I have to reboot a couple times and it will come back and function normally. Can someone help me with my problem, my computer specs are below. Thanks!

Hi,

yes, that happens with me too on occasion, mainly when switching between users.

But I don't have to re-boot. I just double click the Powermate utility icon and it restarts. For me it happens so frequently I've put it in the dock. I have pretty much the same iMac as you, BTW.

No idea how to fix it properly, mind you!

Cheers!

Ok, Thanks Dave, I will mess around with clicking icon and see if I can get it work when this happens. It's weird, it didn't happen at all yesturday, but a number of times on Saturday.

I noticed that this happens mostly after Repairing Permissions, if that means anything.

Hi,

hope the double click solution is working for you, rather than re-booting.

For me it's an intermittant problem, and nothing common appears to be going on other than maybe when switching between users with a sleep in between.

I don't recall ever reparing permissions, so that's not it for me.

Cheers!

Nope fiddling with the PowerMate icon, does not work. I have to reboot to get it back, this really only seems to be a problem after repairing permissions.
