Anyway to turn off the Sticky mouse?

Has anyone else come across what I can only describe as a 'sticky mouse' in Muse. If you click on something, it sticks to the mouse and you end up inadvertedly moving objects around. It drives me absolutely crazy!!
Any help would be fantastic especially on this one!

Hello,
Could you please check if your mouse works fine with all other applications?
You can also check for AIR version on your machine. Tri updating AIR on your macine using the link :

Hope this helps.

Turning off the mousepad...

I can't find anyway to turn off the mousepad like I could with Leopard. Am I missing something?
I DO have "ignore accidentel trackpad movement", but that mode doesn't seem very effective with my palms resting on the pad while I type. I ONLY use a mouse for my pointer.

HI,
I understand what you are saying but ...
For more accurate tracking, navigate the cursor with one finger on the trackpad at a time. For comfort, you can rest your thumb near or along the bottom of the trackpad, much like the thumb position from previous trackpads. If this is your preferred finger position, rest your thumb along the bottom edge of the trackpad. The glass multi-touch trackpad is so advanced, it can sense when your thumb is resting on the edge of the pad.
*Note: Resting your thumb on the trackpad (above the bottom edge) may result in accidental gestures such as scrolling, zooming or rotating.*

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces? - It's making me sick!

How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

Hi,
I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
Good luck.

Can you turn off the tone on keypad when dialing

Is there anyway to turn off the tone when dialing on my keypad? It must have malfunctioned for awhile and was silent, it recently came back on and it's driving me nuts.

No, other than flipping the ring/silent switch on the side of the phone to silent (red showing). You have to remember to flip it back to hear rings and alerts.

Everytime I get online I have to manually go to tools and turn off the proxy before I can load any webpages. Is there anyway I can keep it off permanetly?

Everytime I want to use the internet I have to adjust the settings and turn off the proxy. If I don't my webpages wont display. Is there anyway I can make the settings remember to keep the proxy off rather than having to do it myself EVERY time I get on the internet?

Where is in OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the Magic Mouse scroll.

I have not found anymore on OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the vertical scroll of Magic Mouse. The problem is That I use Corel Draw with Parallels, and Corel Draw does not work with the scroll on, he gets mad. I always turn off the scroll option of Magic Mouse in OS X Leopaed before entering Windows XP. Now I had to put a conventional mouse and stop using the Magic Mouse because I dont find this option in the settings of the mouse preferences.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many Thanks

... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

Turning off the mouse pad

I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the mousepad. I only use the pointing stick and sometimes I get some unwanted movements of the cursor from movements of my wrist on the pad.

Welcome to the forum!
Go into BIOS (press F1 while booting), then into Configuration, you can disable the UltraNav there. Press F10 to save and exit.
Hope this helps.

How to turn off the Charms Bar in Windows 8.1

I have a new HP laptop with Windows 8.1. I absolutely HATE the charms bar. It's very annoying. I have turned off the corner function so the Charms bar no longer pops up if I swipe the corner edges, however, it still pops up randomly. I'll be typing along and it'll just pop up, blocking whatever I'm working on.
I have absolutely no need for this charms bar. In fact, the only thing I've used it for is to get to the option to turn them off. However, on this laptop, that doesn't completely turn them off.. I have tried going to the mouse control panel to turn them off, but that option isn't offered. However, I don't think it's the mouse pad causing them to pop up anyway.. I'll be typing along, not even touching the mouse pad, and they'll just suddenly pop up.
What is the cause of this and how can I get rid of it? I'm getting rather desperate and at times feeling the need to throw this laptop out the window!!! I much preferred my HP Windows XP laptop, and only replaced it because XP is no longer supported.. Window's 8.1 is one of the most frustating systems Microsoft has come up with.
Please help me to turn these dang things off for good!!
UPDATE: I think I found the solution. I received this link from a Microsoft Chat Line Employee. I followed the directions and the charms seem to be gone.. YAHOO...
Here's the link:
http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-the-edge-panels-charms-bar-and-switcher-in-windows-8/
UPDATED UDATE: lol... I posted this below, but will repost here.. The solution given to me by the Microsoft Chat Line employee did not work.. Well, it worked for one day, I shut it down for the night, and when I turned it back on in the morning, the charms were back with a vengence.. Seriously, worse than ever before, popping out constantly. It was like they were really pissed off...
I went to Wally World and bought a $16 wireless mouse, which is keeping the charms at bay.. I actually think it's easier to use than the mouse pad on my laptop anyways. I can use it on the arm of my recliner, on my laptop next to the mouse pad, on a desk top (obviously), but the point being, unless I run the cursor to the very extreme right side of my screen, the charms have remained hidden...
I have a business website, and while working on it, the charms were constantly popping up as I was trying to add pictures and descriptions. It was seriously driving me out of my mind.. Everything was taking me twice as long to add, time I don't have to waste.. I've been working on it this morning using the wireless mouse and the charms bar has not popped out once..
This question was solved.
View Solution.

For anyone who came here looking for the same solution, I finally did find one that seems to have worked..

As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it. This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do i turn off the STUPID gestures? every time i quickly scroll a large page i get switched to previous sites i've been at, very, very annoying! i hate gestures!

i'm using firefox 4.0 on an amd cpu running suse linux 11.4. i've completely turned off the gestures in suse (one of the first things i do, i can move a mouse very quickly and i like it to be a mouse!), i can't find a plugin or setting to turn these damn things off. the main problem is when i use the scroll wheel to rapidly move up or down a long web page and wind up on another page suddenly, very, very annoying! i really, really HATE gestures! then again i know how to use buttons etc. and i do mouse very quickly and creatively ( i also turn off several other "conveniances" like automatic window resizing, i know how to manage windows.....) thanks, i really, really hate these "features" being on by default, people with certain disabilites are probably also highly annoyed by the lack of choice in some procucts.
you really, really need to provide easy access to more settings, as evidenced by the number of extensions aimed at providing control to users. thanks

You can set all the mousewheel.with*.action prefs to 0 to perform a scroll.
mousewheel.withnokey.action
mousewheel.withaltkey.action
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
mousewheel.withmetakey.action
mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
If necessary then you can also set all the browser.gesture prefs to empty String values.

I tried to eject a cd, didn't work so I turned off the computer and now it keeps getting stuck at the gray screen. How do I fix it?

Here are a few more details. I put in a game cd for a windows computer, once I opened the folder on the desktop I noticed the install application was .exe so I tried to eject the cd but no matter what I tried on the computer it wouldn't come out. I will say though that I didn't try the manual cd eject cause I didn't have anything small to hit the button in the cd drive with. It was getting late so we decided to just turn off the computer and leave it for the next day. I can't remember if we turned the computer off with apple shut down or by holding down the power button but we walked away pretty quickly before it was fully shut down. The next day the computer won't turn on. When I walked into the room I was the computer stuck with a grey background with the apple logo showing and the circular thing under it frozen. Since no one was in the room I held down the power button and turned the computer off. We tried to start the computer again later but again it keeps getting stuck at the same spot. Now when we hold the power button down to turn it off I'm not sure if it's really turning off all the way. The screen goes dark but it sounds like the fan is still going. I tried disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse but when I started it up again it got stuck on the grey screen with just the apple logo. I'd really apprechiate help on this cause I live in Germany right now and support call centers work so much worse when you don't speak the language well... Thanks for any help you can give!

Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.
