Mouse being weird

In minecraft, when i try to pick up an object in a chest it doesnt let me and i have to manually hold left click and move it into my inventory.  This is not normal.  It all started when i attached my moshi hdmi converter into my mac book pro.  I tried restarting my computer, doing software updates.  The only thing that works is making an ew account on my computer and using that.  i dont want to do that or ill have to reinstall everything.  PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello,
I seem to suffer from the same problem. Sometimes (perhaps triggered by amarok, but I have to investigate this further before blaming this app) the left mouse button stops working. I can not perform left-klicks anymore. Everything is fine with the right button. If I log out and in again the mouse if fully back. In this loop X has not been restarted.
My setup:
KDE 4.4.5 (official packages)
X: X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2)
kernel: 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
architecture: x86_64
mouse: Logitech MX1000 Laser (Logitech, Inc. MX-1000 Cordless Mouse Receiver)
If s.o. will ever work in this I will be happy to provide any information I can come up with.
Cheers and good night.

  • Mouse acts weird

    I have been having problems with my mouse for a long while now and have not gotten around to trying to fix it. I hope today I can
    My mouse....is weird. Let me expand. Aside from the scroll button not scrolling down (which I have seen previous posts on, and intend to use), the pointer gets dragged across the screen randomly when I have not moved the mouse. If I am reading a website and move my mouse to scroll down, the pointer will drag it self rapidly to a random edge of the screen. Sometimes it starts at the top left (and with my dock at the left hand side) will drag itself across each icon on my dock and come to a hault. It is during this time that I lose temporary control over it until it comes to a stop at an edge of the screen.
    Additionally, if I am moving the mouse to toggle between windows, the window will drag itself out of screen shot. I figure that this is some sort of "cool trick" the windows can do, but it is very frustrating when it happens frequently and on its own will. Is there anyway to disable this feature (if it is a feature at all)?
    Anyway, I have no idea how to fix these problems and have come to the uneducated conclusion that I might have a virus. I hope that someone can help me with this problem as it is very frustrating. Thank you

    Have you checked in System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse that the Mouse Keys are disabled?
    If you have a Mighty Mouse, you can clean it by using the following method:
    Use a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the ball and the surrounding area, making sure to rotate the ball itself to ensure complete coverage. If the scrolling feels rough or if the scroll ball isn't scrolling up, down, or side-to-side, hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware.

  • Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

    the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days after installing 3.6.3

    Hello Jim.
    It's probably one of three things:
    #your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
    #you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
    #or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Keyboard and mouse working weird

    hello, for some reason my keyboard wont let me type "r".
    SHIFT+r works though. if your wondering how ive been typing the "r"s above, i used copy and paste.
    my mouse will work fine 75% of the time, but once in a while it will flip out and randomly go somewhere. ive changed mouses before and the problem persisted.
    any suggestions will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether r has been set as the speech key or the listening key; if so, change the keystroke.

  • External hardrive makes mouse act weird!

    G4 Laptop running OSX 10.4.11
    My mouse works fine, but as soon as i plug in my external harddrive (Firewire) the mouse won't work, or only the right button will work, or it will only draw "selection boxes" on the desktop.
    Anyone?

    Have you tried resetting the PMU? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431 . If it's power-related, that may fix it.

  • Numeric keypad not working, mouse in weird state

    I've got a user with a mac mini, and this morning it started behaving really strangely. The numbers on the keypad don't work -- although the + - * / = 'enter' keys work. And they don't work as arrow keys or page up page down keys either.
    Also, when launching excel, the cursor turns into a plus sign, and then when you select a field it highlights, but no key works to create input -- on the regular side or the keypad side of the keypad. And the mouse no longer works to click out of excel, quit the program, click on another window or click on a menu option or the apple menu. We have to use force quit from the keyboard (THAT still works) to get out of excel, and then we go back to the state where the keypad keys don't work but the rest of the keys do.
    Started with a magic mouse, plugged in a regular mouse. Started with a non-apple keyboard, plugged in an apple keyboard. Started with the keyboard and mouse going through a usb hub, and now they are plugged into the back of the mini. So I'm pretty sure it's a software setting! I can't find anything on the System Preferences keyboard or mouse settings that looks remotely like a candidate for producing this behavior.
    Oh, and yes, did zap the PRAM.

    Try +System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse.+
    If the +Mouse Keys ON+ radio button is on, turn it off.
    That allows you to use the numeric pad instead of a mouse to move the cursor.

  • Selection tools are being weird

    New to illustrator (CS 6), I downloaded a template file from The Game Crafter and set to work.  This file is clearly in some weird mode and selection tools don't work like the tutorials say.
    - I can select one object (path, imported bitmap graphic, text block) but it beeps and won't add another object if I shift-click it.  Selection, Direct selection, or Group selecton tool!
    - I can select an object and move it by arrow keys, but it beeps if I try to drag it around
    - In general, there's an awful lot of beeping, almost anything I do in selection tools.
    I'm trapped in a mode!  Where's the key to get out to "normal" editing?
    And in general, what does it mean if I'm trying to shift-select (and I'm not completely outside of all objects) and it beeps?

    As you probably know, the beeps mean it doesn't like something! I don't think there is a specific thing it only beeps for. What I have found it could be beeping for is the following:
    What you are trying to move is locked.If a layer is locked that means that it can't be edited or moved (but it can be selected). Check the layers tab on the right of the screen and see if anything is locked (it will have a padlock symbol next to it.
    When trying to move something to big it would be off the drawing areaThere is a drawing area larger than your artboard that everything must fit inside. Sometimes moving large objects will not work because they would be outside the draweing area in thier new positon.
    You are using the wrong tool to moveOnce you have the object selected, use the Selection Tool (v) to move the object (The dark Arrow Tool).
    If none of these doo the trick, maybe send a screen shot of the objects selected and I can see if I notice anything wrong.

  • Getting the time interval of a mouse being pressed

    Hai
    I am developing an image scrolling application .And i have a JButton to scroll the image . The problem is that i need to scroll the image proportional to the time the user presses the button.
    How can i do it ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hai
    I did it in a way which i am not sure to be apprpriate. I started a thread (defined in an innerclass) in the mouse pressed event of the button and stopped the thread in the mousereleased event .
    Any body with a different elegant idea kindly make me aware of it.
    Any one facing the same issue may try this method and give me a feedback
    Thank you

  • Dual Screen - Mouse looks weird

    hi,
    ive just installed the xf86-video-ati drivers. and have a dual monitor setup.
    The mouse looks fine on the first screen, but then when i move over onto the second screen it just looks like 4 bars/gradients going from dark blue to light blue.
    other than that it works fine
    anyone know what could be causing this?
    thanks
    Kane

    I am having the same problem with a slightly different setup.  My monitors are configured as follows:
       ______X_____|            |
      |                     |            |
      |                     |            |
      |____________|            |
                 X         |_______|
    My cursor can move into both of the "X" areas.
    I use xrandr to set the position of the left screen as 0x400.  I am running XMonad as my window manager and using nouveau graphics drivers.
    I also thought about filing a bug report, but I'm not sure which part of the graphics stack is responsible for constraining the cursor to the visible screen.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

  • Headphone jack being weird.

    I have this weird problem since 2 days, first of all when I turn the phone on and plug in the earphones it plays okay, no disortion no anything. But then I disconect the earphones out of the jack and connect it back in it doesent play through the earphones but the speakers. 
    To fix it again I need to restart the phone and then the loop begins again... What could this be? Software or hardware issue?

    Does anyone have a fix for this yet? I have the same issue.
    It's not hardware, it's software that is causing the issue otherwise the headphones wouldn't work when the phone is rebooted.
    If you use a set of headphones without the mic you can unplug and plug them back in as many times as you like and they continue to work but as soon as you use headphones that have the mic on them, once they have been unplugged they will not be detected again until you do a reboot of the phone.
    I have done a backup and restore on my phone but I continue to have the issue.
    Taking it back to a repair center won't help unless they have other software/firmware versions that we can't get.

  • MacBook doesn't find Wifi and mouse behaves weird...

    When the new iOS came out I received an update message also for my MacBook Pro. Since I installed the update the system doesn't find any Wifi connection any more! Even not when I try to choose a connection in the system settings: There is no single connection listed in the network list and the Wifi-sign keeps blank without any signal sign.
    Since the same time also my mouse refused to work properly: Scrolling is now impossible and when the Magic-Mouse is switched on, the active window starts to move up and down.
    Don't know exactly if this strange behavior came from the iOS (iTunes, whatever) update or from another one: At the same time I downloaded also a Firefox and a Skype Update.
    Does anyone observe similar problems since the last iOS update release?

    I'm having the same problems recently. Bought my white MacBook in Jan. '09, worked great for several months; now it won't stay on the Internet for more than five minutes at a time unless I'm right next to the router. The Airport icon, when selected, shows my network but for some reason it has been deselected. My husband's Dell has no problem at all, even if he's out on the back porch, so it's not a signal issue.
    I've updated the software to the latest Airport but that seems to have made it worse. I've tried nearly all the things Solvi did to no avail. Has there been an answer yet from Apple on this?
    (Had to re-select network to sent this short post!!)

  • Space bar being weird

    After a while the space bar ceases to start and stop play as normal. It will start play, but hitting again makes waveburner pause for a few seconds and then it starts back up by itself. ideas?
    TIA
    Edwin

    No problem! I love a little humor to lighten the frustration of peculiar computer behavior. Weirdly, Logic doesn't do this, only Waveburner. It's done it for a month or two. I'm not sure why it started or how to fix it.

  • Os X mavericks download being weird

    my os x mavericks won't download, i will click install app on the app store and it will ask for my apple id sign in yadayada and it will supposedly load and the green install button will be clicked and then it will go back unclicked and won't download. and when i restart my computer the download is on the bar at the bottom but its paused and i'll go to purchases to resume it but it won't be in my purchases it'll say i havent purchased anything. i have version 10.6.8 right now what should i do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, see if the download is paused and if you can resume it. To do so, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and press "Resume" next to OS X Mavericks.
    If the download does not carry on, I would recommend you to restart and start the download all over again.

  • Safari not loading all images and being weird

    When I logged on to Apple Discussions toady, I noticed that safari changed around the font and size of the websites I look at. At first, the text was huge, so I made it smaller (in the View menu), and then it became really small. Also, a lot of the images on web pages aren't loading (for instance, in my tool menu thingy on the right of this page, the icons for preferences, posts, and subscriptions wasn't loaded. They were replaced with blue boxes and white question marks. I can live with the issue, but it's annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
    -Michael
    BTW - I have tried reseting Safari - no luck

    But Firefox, Camino, Omni Web and Opera do without contesting.
    One great thing about OS X is that there are several excellent browsers and there is no need to necessarily stay with Safari. I actually have 7 or 8 browsers installed, although I mostly use them for checking how pages are rendered, I also switch back and forth between them to learn their strengths and weaknesses and for a change of pace. I use Firefox and OmniWeb alot in addition to Safari. I like the way you can add functionality to Firefox using extensions. I like OmniWeb for doing research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar. Opera is also good and it is now free.
    So, don't feel that you have to use Apple's browser. Use the one that you like the best or works the best for you.
