Can't get mouse wheel working

I'm using a PS/2 wheel mouse, but unfortunately the wheel doesn't seem to get recognized.
here is part of my my xorg.conf file.
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

Try this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
Your config prob wont be exactly the same since you are using ps2.. but you get the jist.

Can't get mouse to work with mac mini

Yes, I replaced the batteries.
Not sure what's going on. I booted the Mac Mini and the message I'm getting is "Searching for mice -0 found" then it will attempt to search again...nothing. I've attempted keyboard commands, but I'm unable to close out the window that asks me to connect to a network. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!

First try and see if the mouse is working. Look in System Preferences > Bluetooth and see if the mouse shows as connected or not. If it does and you are still getting the message, select the mouse then click on Advanced and UNcheck "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup is no mouse or trackpad is detected."
If the mouse is NOT connected then try creating a clean Bluetooth environment by disabling any and all Bluetooth emmiters whithin 30 or 40 feet such as iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPads); other Blutooth keyboards, mice, trackpads; other computers, etc.
Sometimes cycling Blutooth of then on again can help (which is why I always keep a wired mouse and keyboard around). If the mouse was previously paired with the computer, and you have a wired mouse handy, in System Preferences > Bluetooth select the icon for the mouse then Control+Click and select "Remove" from the contextual menu then retry pairing.
The good news is once you get past this glitch, the next time you reboot pairing should go transparently.

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit it. How do I fix this?

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit Mail . How do I fix this problem?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I have a super slim usb 2.0. Can't get it to work on macbook air. Any ideas?

I have just bought a super slim usb 2.0 disc drive but I can't get it to work on my macbook air and now a dvd is stuck in it! Any ideas?

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Can't get Themes to work for movie using iMovie on ipad

I finsished a trailer using iMovie on my iPad successfully and LOVED it! Sooo fun!
Now I'm trying to make a movie for a friend's wedding, but I can't get it to work with the themes. When I select my theme and start a new project using a few pictures the theme music works when I replay, but no visual elements of the theme I selected show up (or available for selection). when I click on the gear wheel, it does show what theme I selected.... What am I missing???? The only place the theme shows up is on the tile in the "projects" section.
Then I tried the same thing on my iphone 4S (iOS7) and the same thing happens.
I looked at the tutuorials etc...and I think Im doing it right (after all, I got the trailer to work perfectly) and I think I'm not technologically challanged - but I just would like to have the theme visual elements to show up.
Please help
Mir

Tap the Transition points and choose the star icon. This is for theme associated transitions including their graphic elements.

Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

The list that shows is just data files and such.
You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
Here is info on backing up your photos:
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
Disc-spanning software
DropDMG
Toast
Dragon Burn 4
BackityMac
Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

[Counter Strike 1.6] Mouse wheel working poorly

I've been playing CS since 2003 and I've always jumped with MWHEELDOWN, I even still have my Logitech MX310 from 2003 and the wheel works perfectly on every other game I try (I can prove it). But since a few months ago or even less I can't use the mouse wheel anymore, there's something wrong with the game in regards to using it, be it to jump or scroll through the game command line or any wheel operation in Counter Strike.
Anybody else having this? Other people using other distros reported that the mouse wheel works fine for them. So I guess this is a Valve problem with newer software.
BTW my mouse is old and I know it. The wheel works fine on every game I have except Counter Strike. I tried different mouses but they all show the same bug in-game, so it's not a problem with the mouse. Also, Valve have been doing a lot of mistakes with updates to Counter Strike. I notified them on Github about this problem. So if anyone have the game on Steam, please test it and let's solve this problem together.

It's a problem with my config.cfg
This is weird, I've been using this same config over the past years and it never gave me problems. I couldn't find any problems with it so I'll post it here.

Can i get mouse location and event outside JFrame?

Can i get mouse location and event outside JFrame?
any related link or document? thx~

what I figure out from your question is that, you want to get the coordinates even if the mouse is not directly interacting with any of the java components of your application.
I would consider this as an interaction with the OS so that it sends a call to your java program as well when ever the mouse event occurs. If you use JNI to catch system events, I think it should work.

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.

I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck
