Why do I have to click the mouse so hard?

Why do I have to click the mouse so hard? Whether I'm using a Bluetooth or a wired mouse, I find I have to click really hard to make it work when selecting text (in any application). This is not good for my wrist. Is anyone else experiencing this?

two types: an old and excellent Apple wired mouse (not mighty) and a Bluetooth mouse (not mighty).

Why do I have to click the green arrow on the location bar instead of pressing ENTER to prompt the new webpage to load?

When entering a web page (e.g., www.aol.com) I would normally hit the ENTER key on my keyboard and the aol webpage would open. However, using Firefox 4.0.1 on my desktop, I have to enter the webpage (e.g., www.aol.com) and then use the mouse to right-click on the green arrow tab located to the right of the location bar. This is not the case on my wife's laptop, however. And she is using the same version of Firefox.

This was very very helpful and I resolved the issue. The problem ended up being an extension from my AVG firewall that I had to disabled, once I disabled the ext Firefox worked properly again.

Why do I have to click the go button after typing a URL? Before FF6 I could just hit enter.

I just recently updated to Firefox 6. Before the update, I was able to type a address into the URL bar and hit return. Nice and easy. Now if I do this I get no response. To direct to a web page I have to move my cursor to click the go button. It's annoying and a waste of time. What happened here? Any way I can change things so I can just hit enter again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why do I have to click the arrow in the location (awsome) bar to load a page off a link?

Before the tab loads and takes you to the website, I now have to click a small arrow at the far right of the location bar for it to load the page. What setting changed in Firefox 4?

This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Why do I have to click the cloud to download podcasts?

While my podcasts are updating, they appear to automatically download only to icloud. Now, I am forced to click on the cloud icon to the right of each episode of every podcasts in order to download the podcasts into itunes before they will sync to my ipod. What is up with that?

I think this is the same issue as I had - I had almost 1000 episodes to download and they all only had the cloud symbol next to them.
If you go to the 'My Podcast' tab, and then right click on the podcast name in the left hand pane, a 'download all' option shows up. Click that and it will start downloading all those episodes that have a cloud icon next to them.

Why does the hand tool come up when I click the mouse?

I am a very knowledgable individual of InDesign but this is a stumper. I cannot use any single tool that I have. When I press the buttons on the side, for instance the text tool, the image that should appear for the cursor does, but once I click the mouse, the hand tool comes up and drags my page around. This is even when the hand tool is not even selected. I am not pressing any buttons on the keyboard or anything, this is quite frusterating. I am trying to do this job and can't even edit previous files or make a new one. Should I reinstall, or what? Please help!! Thank you.

Help!! In preview, wherever I click the mouse it shows my other sheets??

I'm new here and I'm trying to figure out how I can resolve this problem. Im making a website, as a starter i made a couple of sheets where I assigned events like when the mouse click "home" it should go to home page.. when the mouse go over "Topic"(for example) there should be a drop down list of sub-topic. but the trouble is, when I tried to preview it, even I click the mouse wherever I want in the page, it goes cycle.. like it will go to home-topic-drop down list-home---again and again in each click.. Please somebody help me!! I'm not a programmer... so I don't know how what's going on?

Actually I just figured it out why.. hehe.. coz my set up was in presentation.. But I still have a problem. When I preview my project and try to click "Product" button, it doesnt go to product section even though I already set the event to go to sheet "product" from home page.

Why do I have to click on all of my flash components before I can navigate?

Without modification to the code...the component is there but
it needs to be clicked on before I can navigate the site. Should
Dreaweaver not know how to properly insert the code necessary allow
the flash component to view properly? What am I missing? I know
this is a Deramweaver forum....but the problem does not not seem to
be with Flash, it seems to be in the code that Dreamweaver creates
when the Flash component is inserted.
I have been able to find a work around to my problem but
surely it is not what everyone out there is doing. If
so...Dreamweaver or Flash has a serious bug!
I created a site a while back and everthing worked fine. So I
copied some code from that site to fix the new one. However even
after copying the code I still have to modify it to make it
work..(the modifcations are obvious.) This is suely not the way it
is done all the time.
I have three questions:
1. Why did everything work fine with the first site with no
modifications?
2. Why do I have to copy the code to the other site after
inserting the Flash component?
3. Why does dreamweaver not do it for me? (it did everything
right the other time, but now it doen't even work in the previous
site)
I feel like I must have changed a setting somewwhere that I
did not realize would effect this...Perhaps it is a Dreamwweaver
thing.
PLEASE HELP!

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's
interface.
If not, try

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Now that I've upgraded to Lion, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse it acts as if I've right clicked. How do I get back to the way it was?!

I am working on two macbooks and an imac. I upgraded all the software last weekend and am now running all three computers on Lion. Over the last week, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse (whether it be the "pad" mouse on the macbooks or the standard mouse on my imac) it acts as thought I've right-clicked. How do I stop this insanity?! I want my old no-right-click mouses back!
Thank you for any guidance!
Jennifer

Try this,
Go to to the Trackpad System Preference and look at the Point and Click tab.
Uncheck the box that says "Tap to Click"
I found my track pad to be way too sensitive and I was finding myself in web pages I did not choose to go to. Unchecking that box will make it so you have to press the track pad to make it click something as opposed to just tapping it. It is more effort but also less sensitive to random taps.

HT1338 My MacBook Air is very slow. Every time I click the mouse, the spinning wheel appears and remains for up to 30 seconds. Can you help me?

My MacBook Air is very slow. Every time I click the mouse, the spinning wheel appears and remains for up to 30 seconds before the screen changes. This has been happening the past 24 hours. Any ideas?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

After typing web address in address bar i can no longer just press enter for the web page to load, I have to use the mouse to select the arrow at the end of the address bar

I downloaded the most recent version of firefox and since then when I type a web address into the address bar, I can no longer just press enter to get to the website I want, Instead, I have to use the mouse to point to the arrow at the end of the address bar and click on it.
Driving me nuts! Never had this before!

Success! I disabled the AVG search and now I can press enter to get to a web page! Thanks for the quick response!
