Clicking issue - G560

I would first like to point out that I'm new to this and if I leave anything rather important out, I'll provide it afterward, I guess.
My laptop (Model G560) has been in my possession for over a year now and this morning when I turned it on I could move the cursor but not click. Anywho, I went and grabbed my wireless USB plugin mouse and have been using it ever since. I tried checking for software updates since then, but I haven't found anything for it, or perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. OR MAYBE there is something wrong with the hardware itself. Anyone have a clue what's wrong? Better yet, can I fix it?
Also, double tapping the touchpad does not allow me to click, either.

Any answer? =\

Double Clicking Issue Feature Or Bug

Hi All,
I've been using Mac's for over ten years and I'm experiencing an issue unlike anything I've ever seen before. I have this double-clicking issue (maybe more appropriately "accidental double-clicking issue") in certain programs.
In iTunes for example, when I choose File/Add To Library and I double-click the root folder on my external hard drive (which contains subfolders such as Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, Applications, etc..) iTunes begins to automattically import EVERYTHING on the folder without my having clicked the CHOOSE bubble. EVERYTHING!
Either I'm crazy and I'm just noticing this now or this is the most annoying bug/feature I've ever seen.
The issue also occurs in Mac The Ripper. When I went to choose a Save location and accidentally double-clicked a folder that had subfolders in it, I didn't get the opportunity to click CHOOSE. The Finder just assumed that my double-clicking a folder means that that is the folder I want to select.
I hope I'm explaining this clearly. I don't know I never noticed this "feature" before!
Is there anyway to turn it off?

There isn't anything similar between the two in a hardware sense. The two machines aren't sharing anything. I only use the Magic Mouse with the new 27" i7 iMac.
I tried to reproduce the effect in 10.5 to see if it was indeed a "feature", and it is. To a certain extent.
At this point I've come to the conclusion that this is supposed to happen, in 10.5 and 10.6 (possibly 10.4 or earlier too) when a folder and it's sub-folders contain compatible files respective to the program attempting to access them. However, I don't think it should happen when a folder contains subfolders that have files that are incompatible with the particular program that is currently being browsed.
Furthermore... I'm unable to reproduce the same issue today! This new 27" iMac i7 has been very "buggy" across the board!
Like for example;
When I first started it up, Airport and Firewire didn't appear in the Network preference pane in System Pref's. And it didn't recognize USB devices that I plugged in until I rebooted a few times.
It ran REEEEEALLLLLLY HOT! Hot like when you put your hand on the hood of a car thats been sitting in the sun. But today it seems to be running much cooler...
It also wont boot from any external hd or Disk Warrior 4.2 DVD.
But all in all it's still a pretty sweet, and crazy fast.

Mouse clicking issues

For the last 2 weeks or so I all of a sudden have mouse clicking issues on a 2009 iMac. The mouse (I have tried 3 different ones from apple and Logitech) seem to be able to open files etc. on a click. I have to click repeatedly to get it done. When I run the disc utility it mostly goes away. Now, I run the disc repair every morning to make it go away. Annoying. I have seen other people having similar issues - it sounds like a OS issue????

This same scenario has happened to me sporadically over the past few months and seems to be increasing. I have the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks. Got it 3 years ago for use with my G4 PowerBook (1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, OS 10.4.8). First I thought it was the batteries, but then realized that if I'd just wait a few minutes the problem would usually go away. Nothing new electrical on my desk that would cause it. Gets really annoying. The mouse becomes sluggish and the clicks are non responsive (a right click will open a sub-menu window, but then no other clicks work. Trying to move the mouse around on the screen gives spotty results - stops and starts - as if I'm moving it on a reflective surface. After multiple clicks the window goes away. I can disconnect the USB transmitter and have complete control with the mousepad.
Sometimes the problem won't occur all day long. Other times it comes and goes multiple times during an hour. A restart will usually get it out of that overly annoying loop.
I bought a new Logitech Mouse a few days ago, thinking mine was wearing out, but the same thing happened within minutes.
I can only think there's some conflict with an OSX update. VERY frustrating. I don't want to go back to a wired mouse.
So I, too, am eager for a solution.
Thanks,
-Scott

HDD ridiculous parking (spinning down) and clicking issue

I have an original Macbook Pro (Santa Rosa) with upgraded hdd Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200.4 ST9500420AS.
The disk is parking and spinning down in ridiculous moments, it can park itself every two seconds for ten times when I browse the web with a loud "click" and a froze the mac for a second. It helps to use hdapm and set the disk apm to max, but this is not a solution.
This is not the beep+click issue on the unibody Macbook Pros.
Is it a Seagate fault or the power management setting in Macbook Pro?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing to check is that your Seagate is not the model with the G-Force feature, which is Seagate's version of a sudden motion sensor. If your serial number is correct and there is no "G" at the end, then it should not be. If you do have the drive with the G-Force, you may need to disable Apple's built in Sudden Motion Sensor. Here are some links links where you can read about this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1935
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1901090&tstart=0
Another possibility is a problem with the new drive. You can do a comprehensive check of the physical health of the drive with S.M.A.R.T. Utility:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
Using these links, you should be able to evaluate the Seagate drive and decide if it is the problem or not.
Good luck!

There's nobody here but we users.
If you have a double click issue than slow the time down in System Preferences > mouse. The slow side gives you more time between clicks, faster is less time.
If you have tracking issues the preference slide bar range doesn't solve you can experiment with the settings as explained here:

Click issues IE / VC app

Hello,
Our users (and myself) are experiencing click issues, whenever an attempt is made to click on the InputField UI element or a Table Column to enter data, the cursor is not seen. Thus it is annoying for users, since they cannot enter.
Alternatively have requested to use TAB but would like to know if this issue is related to VC app or IE?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dharmi

Hi,
why can't you check your model in IE6 once to figure out whether the issue is with Browser or not?
and if possibel plz send me the model so that i can verify in my system to debug the issue.

Photoshop Elements 10 option-click issue

New install of Lion Server on a Mac Mini. It appears that the option-click key stroke to select a area of a photo to clone is not working. I get the error below on Elemens 9 and 10.
Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? i used Systems Preferences / Keyboard Prefernces /Show Keyboard viewere to see that when I depress the 'option' key it is actually being depressed. Is the click on the mouse being 'recorded'?
I would just give up and buy Apeture but I have too much invested in Photoshop (software and knowledge). Where should I complain about this issue? Apple Store? This forum?
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? I'm going to install 10 (have 9 installed today) on my Mac Air and use it without a mouse to see if I have the same problem.
Why do I feel like I am blazing trails? I hate that feeling.
Thanks in advance.

Installed Elements 10 trial on my Mac Air no issue. Converted my Magic Mouse over to my Mac Air via bluetooth. !AH AH!!!!!! Same problem. I think I have isolated it to something to do with the Magic Mouse. Tomorrow I will go buy a wired Mac Mouse at the Apple store to see if I have the same issue.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to isolate even more to the Magic Mouse then please step up!

Magic Mouse tracking/clicking issue

I have identical systems at home and at work...2007 Mac Pro, 10.6.2, and the Magic Mouse. Magic Mouse works perfectly on my home system, but on my work system it's almost unusable. Terrible lag as I move the pointer around the screen area...sometimes not moving at all as I move the mouse a couple of inches, then jerkily following along--this is constant. Clicking also seems to be intermittent. I've looked at the system monitor to see if I had any processes clogging up CPU usage and did see some things going on with Safari, but closed that out and still had problems.
Any suggestions as to why I might be getting this lagging problem on my work system? Maybe I need to swap mice and see what happens...
Rocky Rakoon

There are several of us that for some reason have been having this lagging / jumping / erratic bluetooth mouse problem now for over a year.
In order to help Apple Care get to the core of the issue I posted the following video to youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
In addition, another Mac user with a similar problem posted this video to youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
I personally think that others suffers should use the QuickTime X screen recording function to make a small movie that clearly shows the problem. Then post the video to youtube and notify Apple Care and Apple Feedback of the problem (www.apple.com/feedback)
This way Apple will know that a real problem exists and that they need to examine the issue.

Thanks
Pushpender

hi pushpender,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Try opening the Mouse / Touchpad settings
Open Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Mouse
The last tab on this Windows should be your touchpad
Once you have that window click on the ELAN hardware then click on options.
Try configuring the tapping option in there.
Let me know your findings
Cheers!

Click issue with s:Datagrid on mobile for iPads with retina displays (only left half is clickable)

I'm currently testing a Flex mobile application (that was originally made for iPad 2) on high rest iPad fourth generation and iPad Air devices.
I'm having this strange issue where the s:DataGrid, no matter where I use it in the application, will display correctly, but only the left half is clickable to select rows. The number of columns in the DataGrid is not important, nor is the width of the DataGrid, the problem is always present. As soon as you try to click in the right half, it doesn't work.
The application uses an applicationDPI of 160, and scales properly on the higher resolution devices.
So this feels like a bug to me, as if the DataGrid scales properly, but not it's clickable area?
I have tried a bunch of stuff to see if I could work around this issue, like calling invalidate functions and setting the DataGrid's width dynamically, but no change so far.
At this point I'm open for any suggestions or ideas...
Edit: After further testing it seems the same is true for the height. I noticed when I added more rows in the grid. Only the top half of the DataGrid can be clicked. So it really looks like a dimension issue with the clickable area?
Thanks

I ended up not using the DataGrid, and decided to use the experimental MobileGrid instead, which is not afflicted with this issue.
So this issue no longer concerns me.
BTW the default theme of MobileGrid is dark, but can be lightened up with CSS and by extending the MobileGrid skins, up to a point where I almost can't tell the difference v.s. the DataGrid.
It also performs better then the DataGrid. since it's based on List. With 300 elements, it scrolled noticeably faster.

Cairo-compmgr + Openbox + xf86-video-intel + mouse clicks issue

When I start cairo-compmgr with Software Rendering, I face issue of clikable items not being highlighted when I hover mouse over them.
Also, I have the issue of first item being selected automatically when I right click on certain apps.
Is there anything I can do about it?

shadyabhi wrote:I guess both use the same video driver.
Nouveau? (EDIT: Just re-read thread title: Obviously not Nouveau!) That's what I am using over here. I thought there might be some quirk in an xorg.conf or something, but 1) I am pretty sure that running Nouveau neither generates nor requires one, and 2) I cannot see Cairo-compmgr altering or creating an xorg.conf.

Magic mouse right click issue

I just bought the new iMac 3 weeks ago with the magic mouse which I LOVE. But in the past week I have lost the right click function 3 times now. It acts like the right click option is turned off, which I verified and tried to reset and set back which didn't work.
The only way to reactivate the right click function is to reboot the machine entirely. I also tried to turn off and back on the mouse which didn't work and I had to get another mouse to even reboot after that!
The only thing that has changed is that I installed VMWARE fusion (which is hella cool!) and transferred my old XP image to. It seems to stop working after i have been using my XP or Win7 virtual machine after a while. Not always the case but the only thing I can think of that has changed or I am doing differently.
Any help on the subject would be great! Even a work around to get it working again without rebooting the machine would help.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Jay

I'm not sure what all of those startup items do, but since none are obvious suspects, what you may want to do is remove them all (except iTunes Helper). In order to add them back later, you can right-click on each item and select +Reveal in Finder+, to see where the item is located. Note down the locations.
After you remove them from the +Login Items+ list, restart (or log out and log back in). Those login items should not be running anymore. See if that resolves the Magic Mouse issue. If it did not, you can add the items back. If it did resolve the problem, I guess you'll have to find the culprit by going to the locations noted earlier and starting one item up at a time, until the Magic Mouse problem returns.
Separately (you can try this first), when I make a change to my mouse settings (although I don't have a Magic Mouse), this is the preference file that changes
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
In case that file is corrupted in some way that prevents the right click from being set, move it to the Desktop. Then go to System Preferences Mouse pane and set it up as desired, including the right click. A new preference files should be created. See if the mouse now works properly.
Those are the two approaches I would take initially, checking the login items and the most obvious user preference file.

VMWare mouse right click issue

Hey all,
I am having an issue with right click in vmware using XFCE for arch. when i right click the menu gets brought up fine but it almost instantly selects the first option in the menu. if i move the mouse in the opposite direction of the menu really fast while right clicking or if i hold down the right mouse button it does not select the first option. to me it seems like the timer for function that selects the option under the pointer when you release the mouse button is called too fast. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hemmar

For VMware related posts, maybe it's a good idea to include the following information
- Which VMware product: player, workstation, esxi and which version
- Using open-vm-tools or vmware tools
- Using vmwgfx ?
Important in your case:
edit or create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vmware"
EndSection

Fixed right-click issue in Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop crash

Not sure where to post this, so I also started this new Topic...
I have to share this somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link: http://techdows.com/2013/09/avg-2014-how-to-remove-permanently-shred-with-avg-option-from- context-menu.html

Trackpad Clicking Issues

I'm having some issues with my trackpad on my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro. The trackpad works fine as far as I can tell if it's being held in my lap. However, if I hold the laptop from the bottom right corner (where the sleep light is), it seems like the trackpad get depressed. When I try to click on the trackpad, it doesn't make a clicking noise like it does when I'm holding it in my lap. Also, when I move the mouse around in this position, it selects things as if I clicked and dragged the mouse around.
I'm wondering if this is an issue because I've had this since March of 2012 and have never had this happen to me before. I've also noticed that when in my lap and I click on the trackpad, it seems not as intense as before. Is this just the trackpad wearing out or something? If I hold the laptop in the bottom left corner (near the battery level button is) the click seems to come back as strong as it was before.

Have you tried to uncheck ''Ignore accidental trackpad input'' ?
It's solved for me some problems you've mentioned.
