"Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor

Anyone know how to get a "Drag" and "Drag lock" indicator for the trackpad (mouse) cursor. When using the track pad, I'm often finding that my final click does not release the item I was dragging and then I inadvertently drag it across my screen, as I go to my next function. Would be nice if there was some type of indicator that would pop up on the cursor so you knew when drag lock is active.
Thanks!

Idiot question - How do I re-install Leopard? No matter what I do, it kicks the disk out on restart. I have tried using the 'install' command on the disk, nothing. It kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. I have tried rebooting holding down the 'c' key to force it to read from the drive, it still kicks the disk out and boots from the hard drive. What else should I do?
I researched back further and found another thread where people were complaining of the same drag and drop issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6446208
Someone suggested a solution involving permissions. I fixed my permissions. Drag and drop is still not working.
There was also a set of commands to type into terminal that would supposedly fix the issue, or perhaps it was a Spotlight issue that the thread had morphed into. I did that. Drag and drop is still not working.
Am I just totally hosed? Help!

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1414 My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to all upon and need the r

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
    The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago.  I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago;  but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
    A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password. 
    I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that.  With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software. 
    Best,
    Craig

  • My mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large, my mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large

    So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
    You are copying files from where to where?
    How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
    Any other detail would be helpful.

  • Lock indicator for Profit Centers

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the Transaction KCH5n, KE52 and KE5X. If I change the Lock indicator for Profit Centers in the Transaktion KCH5n I can not see the changing of that indicator within the report KE5X. The lock indicator is still as it was before that changing. Furthermore, I have the same result in table CEPC - no changing.
    However, if I make the changing in Trx KE52 I can see it in all Trx's and tables.
    Does somebody has had that problem before as well and know a solution
    Thx in advance
    Ruediger

    PS that happened on 4.6c

    Have you activated it after you locked it?  First it goes to inactive status. In KCH5N once you have set the indicator, the activation status goes red. Select that profit center and then click on activate icon. A dialog box appears with the check box enabled for that changed profit center. Click on green tick icon to activate.

  • Lock Indicator for appraisals

    Hello,
    Can someone suggest me the table where the lock indicator for an appraisal doc be saved. 
    When I open an appraisal document, i get a message saying that "Appraisal has been locked by you"... can you please suggest me where exactly the thing is saved.
    Thanks
    RK

    Hi,
    If you want to view and unlock it, use PHAP_ADMIN you will find the lock/unlock option under 'Goto' -> 'Locked Appraisal Documents'.
    The other way of doing it is through function module HRHAP_SHOW_LOCKED_DOCUMENTS run it with or without an add on application (PA,LSO etc)

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

  • Special stock indicator for the sales order (VBAP-SOBKZ=)

  • CO07 and special stock indicator for components

    Hello,
    My final purpose is to be able to call components from project stock in production orders without header material, created in CO07.
    I notice a strange behavior and would be glad to recieve some explanations.
    Production orders are assigned to a WBS. If I indicate the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, the special stock indicator for the components is determined as expected:
    If view MRP 4 for the component says "Individual requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Project stock"
    If view MRP 4 for the component says "Collective requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Common stock"
    Second scenario is that I don't provide the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, but provide it in the assignment tab later. In this case, the special stock indicator for components will always be empty (common stock) by default, without any possibility to modify this manually.
    Is anybody able to explain me why?
    Merry Christmas to all.

    Hi!
    Actually it is not related to SAP Manufacuting Execution solution - so you'd rather re-post the question to ERP-related forum. This can help you find a proper one.

  • Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

    Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

    My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
    I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh -  that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.
