Control mouse pointer without the mouse

Hello,
My Mac Mini seems to no longer recognize my mouse. It has been fine for nearly a year though. Both the mouse and keyboard are wireless. The pointer does not move when I move the mouse, but when I press the return button on the keyboard the computer does wake from sleep mode. I don't know how to control the pointer without the mouse though.
The issues seem to have started when my new version of iTunes seemed to start acting up. The bar at the top of the screen shows that it thinks it is still in iTunes. The computer has been manually turned off and restarted and still comes up the same way, with the mouse pointer in the same spot.
Does anybody know what the issue may be and also how I can control the pointer without the mouse? I apologize for the lack of knowledge as I'm used to a pc and do not know the keyboard controls on a Mac. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You should always have an inexpensive USB mouse and keyboard for times such as this. After you have gotten a USB mouse, you can get one at Target for US$10, drag & drop the iTunes app into the Trash. Restart your Mac and while you are at it do a PRAM reset. Then download iTunes from this link and reinstall. Hopefully this will resolve your issues.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Reset the PRAM
• (Re)start the computer
• Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
• Wait for two startup chimes
• Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
Also, do you ever repair the disk permissions on your Mac? To repair the disk permissions open Disk Utility in the Apps/Utilities folder. Highlight your startup drive in the list on the left with one mouse click. In the right pane press Repair Permissions. Wait for it to finish.

Illustrator is snapping to point without the option selected.

Illustrator is snapping to point without the option selected. Anyone else noticing this and what is the solution. Yes I have restarted illustrator.

slange,
Then it may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can you control servo valves without the PID toolkit?

I need to be able to control servo valves using labview, but I don't have the PID toolkit. Is there an alternate way to control servo valves without the toolkit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well first thing is to get a basic understanding of what a PID controller is doing. There is some discussion about PID on the NI web site, and a search of the net will also provide much information. What you are controlling with your valves will determine the complexity of your control solution and whether learning just the basics of control theory and PID in particular or whether you need to know more. It really isn't wasted effort, any success in implementing a PID control system, regardless of purchased toolkit or "roll it yourself" will need you to understand that basics. Even if you had picked up someone elses project that was complete except for "tuning" the system you would find that getting the system to run the way you need it to requires some knowledge and frequently a lot of patience. Good luck and keep asking questions.

What are the Grid Control basic features (without the licensed packages)

Hi everyone,
I'm all new to OEM Grid Control and I've been asked to write a document that sums up and explains all the OEM features (Database ones only).
The reason I created this thread is because I have a problem doing that. Indeed, Oracle insists on their licensed packages in their documentation and doesn't make very clear what's available without any of those packages.
I've been looking for some other documentation than Oracle one but without much success.
I really have to know the features available without those packages because I've been asked to determine whether or not Diagnostic Pack, Tuning Pack and Configuration pack are necessary (i.e If we have to purchase the licenses)
So could anyone tell me precisely what's available without those packages or link me some sources I could use?
Thank you very much in advance
Olivier

Hi Erika,
Unfortunately, it appears to be true: to be able to get notifications and alerts, you need to have the Diagnostics Pack license. Reference the following document: Oracle Enterprise Manager Licensing Information 10g Release 4 (10.2.0.4.0) Chapter 2: Enterprise Database Management:
The Diagnostics Pack includes the following features, which you can use after purchasing a license for the Diagnostics Pack.
Automatic Workload Repository
Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM)
Performance monitoring (database and host)
Event notifications: notification methods, rules, and schedules
...In the document that you have cited, I think that "standard" and "out of the box" simply mean that Oracle has these alerts and notifications preconfigured for you when you install the software. But to actually use them, you need to have the appropriate license.
Regards,
John P.

License of data controls, data bindings without the ADF framework

I am just wondering. If i create a Java EE web application in Jdeveloper and use datacontrols and data bindings for my JSF pages. I don't use the ADF rich faces but the basic JSF components. Does that require a license for ADF? Can that be easily deployed on a tomcat server?
As far as i understand are the bindings and data controls part of JSF 227 which is created by oracle. If i want to use it outside of oracle products, do i need to create my own implementation of that standard or how does it work? If i use Jdeveloper, i can easily create datacontrols and use the drag & drop method to create JSF tables and so on. But does that require a license for ADF or can i use it for free?
Just to be sure... I am not using ADF BC but i am using hibernate as data access layer. From their i create a class that i convert to data control.

The section Licensing of the JDeveloper FAQ page ( says:
Q: How do I know if I need a TopLink and ADF runtime license?A: You will need to be licensed for a production deployment of ADF if you are using any of the following features:
Oracle TopLink
ADF Controller / ADF Task Flows
ADF Business Components
ADF Model layer databinding
ADF Faces Component
ADF Swing
ADF UIX User interface components
ADF Actions / Datapages for Struts>
DataControls and ADF Bindings are part of the ADF Model layer databinding, so they require runtime licenses if not used on Oracle WebLogic Server or Oracle iAS.http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/jdeveloper11gfaq-085697.html#L0<a/> says:

Can Labview 7.0 control an instrument without the labview driver?

hellow,i have an instrument which do not have the labview driver,its output signal is RS232,so can i use labview7.0 to read the signal? thanks!

You sure can. There is a popular program to check on serial hardware, the loopback.vi. It sends out a signal and reads in a signal. You can modify the vi to send a signal to whatever you need to or receive a signal from whatever you want to. So if you just have an output signal to read in you can modify it to just read in that output signal into a graph or anything you'd like. So you could just get rid of "serial port write.vi" or that entire sequence if you wanted to. I hope that helps.

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Question
After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

Can you control movement of regions without the mouse

can you control movement of regions without the mouse? I have trouble nudging the regions with the mouse and was hoping there was a keyboard solution.

there is not.
perhaps it would help to turn off the Snap To Grid menuItem?

Plz Help! How to control mouse motion(use program to move/click the mouse)?

Hi people, plz give me some help on this: I wanna control mouse motion at another program's window, eg. control mouse movement in Internet Explorer's window. For a particular pixel on the screen, I need to move the mouse onto it instantly, then click. Please note that the java program(no applet) is going to run at the background, the current active window is some other programs like IE, notepad, etc.
Plz give me some clue about how to achieve this, thanks.
Do I need to do this through windows API or it can be done purely in JAVA?
Also, how to calculate the RGB color from a particular pixel on the screen?

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from A

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3

Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Position of the pointer of the mouse

as I can obtain the position of the pointer of the mouse in an applet
I use "MouseEvent e" and then I use "e.getX () and e.getY ()" and it compiles well
but when I execute the program they make errors.
A piece of the program:
"public class ticker2 extends Applet implements Runnable {
MouseEvent e;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if(activo && (m.getX ()> origen[indice])
also use a "addMouseMotionListener" in the function "init" that I don't believe that it causes conflicts
Somebody knows where this the error or how should make it well.

Try this,
addMouseListener(
new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    if(isSelected)
     System.out.println( e.getX()+e.getY() );
});      If it works I would be happy to relieve you of your dukeDollars :-)

How to place the mouse pointer over the default button automatically ?

I am not content with the mouse capability in Mac OS.
In Windows I used to have a mouse seetting that automatically placed the mouse pointer over the default button in a dialogue box
Any suggestion for a mouse app for more settings ? is there a free app ?

You might try SteerMouse 4.1.5 or if all you want is this one feature then try LazyMouse 2.5.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete files without the need to use the mouse? In OS X Mavericks.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete files without the need to use the mouse in OS X Mavericks?

my question is precise
Not exactly........
Cmd-Delete deletes a selected file without a mouse.
What you want, I think, is a way to select the file (presumably in Finder) without a mouse so that it can be deleted.
If you open a new Finder window - Cmd-N you can navigate with the up/down arrow keys as you navigate a file is selected , once selected it can be deleted with cmd-delete.
If while navigateing with the up/dpwn arrow keys you encounter a folder you can delete the folder with cmd-delete or open the folder with the right arrow and proceed to naviagte and delete.

Overlay an item over an activex control and/ or disabling the mouse scroll wheel

There seems to be several references in the discussion forum to placing a picture control over an activex item to prevent the activex item being selected etc.
The thing is, I can't seem to do it: the activex control is always on top, no matter what I do and no matter what control, or decoration I use.
What am I doing wrong?
Failing that, is there another way of stopping the user getting access to the activx control?
Essentially what I want to do is stop them accidentally scrolling through the control's pages with the mouse scroll wheel. I've stopped them accessing the scroll bars, BUT it is still possible to use the scroll wheel unfortunately.
Something else I tried was a tab control: placing the activex control on a page and then trying to make the page on top transparent. Needless to say that didn't work....
Andy

Important questions:
What ActiveX control are you using?
I'm using the PDF activex control to display a PDF on the front panel of my VI.
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1
What "control pages" are you talking about?
The pages of the PDF: it has several pages. If a mouse is held over it the user can scroll using the scroll wheel, or if they right click they can access the Adobe menu.
It's these that I'd like to inhibit them doing.
Thanks
Andy
