2010 iMac, SL 10.6.7 Apple USB Mouse won't open folders, files or drives- Suggestions??o

...open folders, files or volumes -- Suggestions?
Relaunched the "Finder", no change. Opened "Keychain Access" I also ran "Keychain First Aid" also "Disk First Aid", Volumes and Permissions, Nothing Worked. There is one suspect in this mess, a USB TouchPad, it doesn't change the code, but patches on to the USB Mouse Code from Apple, same result.
Then, I went to System Preferences/ Accounts and created a new account, with the USB TouchPad in place. I log out and then back into the new account. Using the TouchPad and then the Mouse interchangeably, everything went just fine. I went back into the original account and got the same grief. I checked my "Norton FireWall"and the remaining attempts that were blocked. Once I get everything set up, back to my original account, I was back in the grief.
Does anybody have some suggestions? Thank you, for stopping by.

The correct answer came from Apple Tech Support, I called them. This was one of those problems that smacked you in the mouth and I couldn't figure where it was coming from. The Tech took me to my iMac System Preferences/Mouse and we talked about the settings. For some reason, the double-click option was set for fast, he suggested, I might want to adjust the speed to the halfway point. I did so and the problem is resolved. He took great patience with a grumpy, frustrated Old Veteran. Sir, Think You.
To: babowa, I have always used a firewall, even before they became popular, but before I would either remove or change Norton Anti-Virus or Norton Firewall. I'll always try a System Check and even break down and asks an Apple Tech for assistance for dealing with additional assistance. Thank you, for your help!

HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. Any clues?

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Apple Address Book Won't Open

On my iMac G5, my Apple Address Book won't open. It has been working perfectly and I've never had a problem since buying the computer about a year ago. Though the name appears on the top menu bar and the triangle shows beneath the Address Book icon on the Dock, nothing appears on the screen. I ran the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, but aht didn't correct it. I've rebooted and that didn't solve the issue either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
I don't know how to troubleshoot Address Book, other than replacing its data with a backup copy if you have one, or just getting rid of that data. Address Book stores the preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist, and everything else in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
You may try moving those files out of there, to the Desktop. You may try removing just the com.apple.AddressBook.plist preferences file (so that Address Book re-creates it again), for example, or removing just AddressBook.data and renaming AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data. Whatever you do, make a backup copy of those files first, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.
Look in Applications>Canon Utilities. I'm running 10.6 as well and that is where it's located on my machine.
Good luck.

Lumia 800 USB cover won't open!

Hi everyone. I just got my Lumia 800 (yay!) but I think I may have messed things up already. When I inserted the sim card slot back into the phone the USB cover was already closed. Now the sim card slot is almost entirely inserted, except for the very end of it which is sticking out slightly (but not even enough to slide a fingernail under it). The USB cover won't open at all.
I've attached a picture in case I wasn't clear.
Can somebody help fix this? Thank you!

@hjd87
Presumably you removed the adhesive labels off these two components before trying, as USB cover should be up before attempting to remove SIM tray?
Think that you are going to have to try to remove SIM tray first now, as USB cover is looking horribly distorted.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open. Should I reinstall from disks or can I get a free upgrade to CS6?

there's no free upgrade.
you 'transferred' or you properly installed cs4 using the installation files?

My Apple USB mouse is not working with Mac OS X 10.6.8

Any ideas?
My USB Mighty Mouse is no more working with my Mac (OS X 10.6.8). I haven't used it for long, but now it doesn't work anymore.
When I plug it into the USB port, Mac does recognize it but it seems like frozen. Red light under the mouse is on, but no signs from the mouse.
I checked in the system profiler and the mouse appears among the USB hardware, as

External Apple USB Modem won't answer calls

I've just got a new MacPro and I bought the external Apple USB Modem 'cause I use my machine to send and receive faxes. But I just found that the modem doesn't answer phone calls... I can send faxes OK with it, and I'm even able to receive them if I force "manual receive". But it just doen't answer phone calls on its own. All settings are OK and double checked. Always had internal modems with my previous Macs and never had a single fault. I've noticed that Apple posted some software updates that solved problems that arose with phone calls in Ireland. Is it possible that we have such a problem here in Portugal (Apple modem not being properly configured to use our phone lines?)
Any help welcome.
Thanks
MacPro Two 3.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm having the same problem, with my new Mac Pro, it will send a fax, but will not answer a fax call, Powerbook G4 with internal USB modem will answer fax call on the same line, as well as G4 Silver, however when I connect the Apple usb Modem to the line it fails to answer. I'm sur that it is the Apple external USB Modem, Apple has just given me the run around.

Apple USB Superdrive won't work

I just bought an Apple USB Superdrive. I works fine with a macbook air but if I plug it in to a 15" Macbook Pro either a Core 2 Duo or an Early 2008 model it won't work. The optical disc is not admitted when I try to insert it.
I'm using OS X 10.5
Any suggestions please ?

Ridiculous! I suppose it's all part of the business stategy to force you to upgrade even though the kit you have is still doing everything you want of it.
But I wonder is there a way of doing something in 'Terminal' mode to get other macs to accept the superdrive?

Apple USB modem won't answer

I'm using an Apple USB modem with my Intel Mac Pro (Tiger). It used to work fine, but now it won't receive faxes! When I call the number, the menu bar on top of the screen says "Ringing..." and even though I have the thing set to answer in 2 rings, it never does - just keeps saying ringing and never picks up. Is there a way to fix this or a better way to add a fax modem to my Mac?
Mike

I'm not certain, but I thought I read that some all in ones can dowload the Fax to the Mac!?
Tough to tell if it's the Modem or some OS problem, you could try a new User for one as a test. Might try the Modem on another Mac, or at an Apple Store, it seems that if it's ringing I can't picture why it would be faulty, but maybe.
Geez, I have so many old Serial Modems haven't looked, but I think this one would work with a USB->Serial converter...

Geez, just switched to a new Boot drive and my Serial converters aren't showing up to test... grrr, but I have in the past used them to Modems, not certain I faxed to from them though.
Found this interesting FAX Application while researching...

Cant configure Apple USB mouse?

I have an Apple clear USB mouse (no right click or wheel, but has pressure buttons, model M5769) plugged into my eMac running 10.4.11. For some reason when I go to mouse settings I only get the option to change tracking and click speed, no options for setting up the pressure side buttons at all. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I have no adjustment for that either in 10.4.11 with that Mouse, iirc I did at one time, maybe in 10.2/10.3(?), but when I did have it I had to disable them as they're positioned totally wrong for my paw & were always going off.
You can likely get their functions with USB Overdrive - 3.0.1 though...

Apple Mouse won't open files

My trustee old iMac has never given me any problems until recently. When I try to open a file by clicking on it with my mouse, it highlights the file but doesn't open it. I can open flies by using Open File. I have tried another Apple mouse but no luck. I run several legacy OS 9 programs on this iMac that don't run on my other iMacs so would like to find solution. Appreciate any suggestions.

I take it you've restarted the computer and tested to see if the problem persists? If not, that's Step One. A restart can often be a big help.
Step Two would be to connect the mouse directly to one of the USB ports if it's not already and test. Sometimes keyboard problem can keep the mouse from working properly if it's running throuah port on the keyboard. If you have the mouse attached to a non-powered USB hub, the hub alone could be the problem.
Step three is doing some routine maintenance. The easiest thing to do is to repair permissions using Disk Utility, in Applications -> Utilities.
Try those and report back.

Uploaded itunes 11.1.2 on iMac with osx 10.6.8 and it won't open

Updated to iTunes 11.1.2 on our iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and now iTunes won't open. It just doesn't respond at all no matter how I try to open it. Any suggestions?

Hello strawnet
Download iTunes from Apple’s website and then install it to your computer to see if it opens up. Also try the steps in the second article as it may be able to open a previous version of the iTunes library and potentially open up as well.

AU Lab downloaded from Apple web site - won't open!

I just downloaded to my iMac running OS X Mavericks and I get the following error message:
"AU Lab" can't be opened because it is
from an unidentified developer."
Any suggestions?

Hey bsouthj,
I found the following information about that message you encountered, it has to do with your security settings:
The app you tried to open was not registered with Apple by an identified developer. This doesn’t necessarily mean that something’s wrong with the app. For example, some apps were written before developer ID registration began. However, the app has not been reviewed. Also, there is no way for OS X to check whether the app has been modified or broken since it was released. A common way to distribute malware is to take an innocent app and insert harmful code into it, and then redistribute the infected app.
The safest approach is to look for a later version of the app from the Mac App Store or check for an alternative from an identified developer.
In addition to apps, other types of files may not be safe. Scripts, web archives, and Java archives have the potential to cause harm to your system. Of course, not all files like this are unsafe, but you should exercise caution when opening any such downloaded file. An alert appears when you first try to open these files.
You can choose to override your security settings and open the app anyway:
In the Finder, locate the app you want to open. Most apps can be found in the Applications folder.
Press the Control-key, then click the app icon.
Choose Open from the shortcut menu.
Click Open.
The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it, just like any authorized app.
For more information about protecting your Mac from harmful software, see:
