Dragging, high-lighting and mouse problems

I am experiencing sudden problems with dragging icons and folders, scrolling within browsers and top menus (keep the mouse held down to navigate across menus and the selections disappear within a few seconds, simply click and move the mouse and they stay etc ..), high-lighting only required text is almost impossible because a single click on one word high-lights a whole paragraph. I've restarted using the instillation disc, run Disk Utility and chosen to repaired the hard drive. What came up was alarming:
1. There were invalid leaf record counts - 58 instead of 649
2. Volume bit map minor repairs made
3. Invalid volume free block counts - 6997411 instead of 6996956
4. Reserve fields in catalog record have incorrect data
and after the repair ..
1 HFS volume was repaired
and 1 volume was not repaired.
Clearly my hard drive's only partition isn't happy.
After this only repair I still have the same problem with dragging and minor mouse desktop commands (I've also cleaned the laser mouse but wonder if this might still be the problem? It otherwise seems fine) but am left wondering about this unrepaired volume. What might it's damage be and how can it be corrected? I have a pretty old version Disk Warrior (3.0.1) but remember reading that it shouldn't be used with the recent Tiger versions so is there another Volume repair app which would suit me and maybe rectify this annoying occurance? The only thing I've updated recently is my RAM, from 1 to 3GB.
Someone in another post suggested resetting PRAM but what would that achieve?
Any help is greatly received.
Rgds,
Richard

I had DW 3.0.1 on an original disk but looking through their site I realised this wouldn't boot nor repair the machine with 4.1.1 so it has a patch that you download to do just this, reboot and repair. Download the patch, enter your serial number for your disk and it blends them together and you burn a new CD which you can reboot from. I think the new version of DW is 4 so this free upgrade sees you through another step but this method does not work for Leopard.
I rebooted and went into graph, saw the nodes were all over the place and I optimized from there.
But what I think is the root of my problem was inserting Kingston RAM which for some reason my G5 doesn't like though they're the same spec as my previous.

Dragging + high-lighting issues

I posted this to the Tiger forum but so far, have had no replies so hope this is Ok to post a shortened version here:
I have problems dragging icons and folders, pulling down/up sliders in long windows and top menus (eg. keep the mouse held down to navigate across menus and the selections disappear within a few seconds, simply click and move the mouse and they stay etc ..), or high-lighting only required text is almost impossible because a single click on one word high-lights a whole paragraph or again, deselects.

A poster on another thread suggested resetting PRAM and I timed my restart to see if that or the battery was low: From chimes to full desktop took 2 1/2 minutes which seems a long time.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse problems

Dear friends,
I think something is wrong with my bluetooth devices... They work perfecly well for a period of time (maybe 1 hour, maybe 2 minutes) and after this period they stop working well. They are not disconnected, they keep working, but they are super lagish, e.g. the mouse cannot be controlled, the keyboard have super latency or it keeps repeating a button i selected.
When this occurs I turn off bluetooth from my status bar, and turn it again on right away. That solves the problem for again a period of time. This issue was first introduced to me after I installed Lion on my mac. After this and some other problems I experienced in Lion, I decided to switch back to snow leopard again. The thing is that the problem persisted...
Any suggestions ???
Thanks

OK. New input...
Updated again to Lion. As soon as I updated the problem began again. Once again I deleted the com.apple.bluetooth file and reset both pram and smc.
For two days my bluetooth devices were working perfectly fine. None issues.
Today, I was in a hurry and put my mac on sleep by closing the lid. As soon as I opened the lid again
the problem unveiled again.
What on earth is happening ?? It cannot be a keyboard or mouse problem, can it ??
Little help, please... It seems managable, but performing a smc and pram reset every couple days doen't
seem right...
Regards

Sound and Mouse Problem on Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 - Related?

Hello-
I bought my A505 back at the end of April and have had these two annoying problems that I have been trying to solve for about three plus months now. The first started right out of the box as it were and it involves the sound "burping" at me periodically. It's a hard sound to describe. It's kind of like a digital croak or a stutter all rolled into one. It now likes to do this exactly at midnight every night, when the CPU usage will spike, but I can't find anything running at that time (I don't have any virus scans, defrags, etc. set for that time). High CPU usage normally doesn't cause this anyway - I'll be running how many programs and the sound will be fine.
My other problem is a recent one and that is that the mouse pointer will periodically just hang up for a few seconds every so often. It's not a battery problem (I use a wireless Logitech) seeing as I keep it well fed and I tried using a wired mouse and got the same hang up.
Are these two problems related? I've tried to find information on this but haven't found anything useful to me. I've tried turning down the fancy settings on my Windows, turning of my webcam and microphone, everything.
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

Home hub 3 orange power light and speed problem

Hi, I have posted this again as I think I posted in the wrong place last time being new to the site!
Hi, I have a Home Hub 3 Version A. Orange power light constantly on.
I came across this site while looking for answers and quickly registered to post this.
I have tried all suggestions including a neighbours power supply (Version A as well) to no avail.
Background to help with replies.
I have been had option 3 since 2003.
In that time I have had
H H 1 (failed)
H H 1 replacement (failed)
Netgear – weak wireless and does not like Vodafone suresignal
H H 2 constant dropouts
Back to Netgear
H H 3 Version A lasted 24hrs
Back to Netgear.
For the last 5 months we have been having line problems, regular dropouts.
BT Openreach have been out 4 times, changed virtually everything and traced line back to Exchange.
The last engineers conclusion was line at my home is capable of 12meg and was being throttled as he called it to around 6meg.
He suggested trying a H H 3 and contacting BT for line to be opened up.
For two reasons.
With a faster speed line fault would be easier to locate.
Line was capable of so much more.
Several LONG calls to BT answering all the format questions first, (to be fair 0800 so no cost) each time first being told my speed was within contract stated speeds, then after my explanation regarding BT Openreach engineers views I was told an engineer would be contacted to improve line speed.
Needless to say nothing happened.
The frustrating point being each new call generated the same response – NOTHING on their system to show a previous call had been made by me.
Hence the reason for this post.
I feel the helpline, whilst free, achieves nothing except a long time on the phone answering repetitive questions answered before.
I am loathe to phone again as I will undoubtedly be told there is no record of any previous calls or action and I want to resolve the H H 3 Version A problem so it can be used.
Any help appreciated

Hi John46 and thanks for the reply.
Can't try H H 3 it is dead.
i saw somewhere on the forums when i first found you about a route that simplifies action from BT.
Have looked since and cannot locate it.
Do you know where it is?
With the Netgear which I have no option but to use,
ADSL on reports
Multiplex VC-BASED
VPI 0
VCI 38

Thank you for pointing me to the test, even if I had a game with Java before I could use it (New PC)!
As I read the results I am under 8meg. Openreach engineer said line was being 'throttled' as it was capable of circa 12meg this distance from the exchange. I am meant to be on 20meg contract.
Chhers,
I will watch out for a reply.
Any pointers on the H H 3 complaint route would be appreciated, i am begining to think I imagined it!!!
ps Where is the rating star? I can't see it here ?

Lightroom 5 Tethering and Mouse Problem

Hi,
I was using LR 5.3 on my MBP running OS X 10.9.2, shooting tethered with the USB cable supplied by Nikon. Laptop was plugged in to power supply. Used Nikon d7100 and went through the troubleshooting guide on shooting tethered with LR. After a few shots, the mouse cursor and keyboard would stop responding (I powered off camera too) and the only thing I could do was reboot the laptop. I had an external mouse plugged in after the first few crashes but then the problem would occur again. Has anyone else experienced this? I noticed these in the system.log around the time of the crash and only happened during tethering.

Thanks for the reply. I did find the problem, it was user error. The thumbnail slider was set all the way to the right and hidden from view. Bringing it slider back into view and then using to reduce the thumbnail size solved the problem.

Desktop and mouse problems

Whenever I move around the desktop with the trackpad, it starts opening up rectangular boxes and highlighting icons inside the box. Also, when I move around web pages, things get highlighted without my intending to highlight them. What is ?

The problem continues in the new administrator account. When I first go to the desktop, I can move the cursor with the trackpad in a normal way but once I click on the desktop the cursor becomes very sticky and draws boxes, highlights icons, and drags icons. Also, I can't pull down the toolbar list of "old favorite" sites.

Nokia 500 display light and texting problems with ...

After installing Belle I have some VERY annoying problems with my Nokia 500.
While texting it turns the display light up and down.
When I write fx a name and press # to use a big letter, it doesn't automatically go back to small letters after writing the first letter. I have to press # again.
I have never had this problem before Belle, with any phone.
Its really annoying and timeconsuming having to delete what I just wrote coz it has continued to write in big letters.
Also after Belle, when browsing the text with > and < it doesn't highligt a whole word, so i can change it. If for some reason I accidently delete the last letter in a word, I have to delete the whole word and write it again. Never had that problem before either.
Have I done something wrong to get these annoying problems, or do others also have these problems?
Is there a fix for Belle coming up?
And why on earth put out software with so many problems...? I wish I had never "upgraded" to Belle!!
Hope this is not to confusing, and that someone has a fix for this.
B.

i believe there is an option in the Messaging options to actually turn off word prediction, so that it is off by default every time you start up the Messaging app. i also think that instead of navigating it with the > and <, you can actually tap the word on screen and it will highlight that word for you.
as for the display issue, not so sure. have you checked via Nokia Suite that you have the latest firmware installed for your device? if so, then try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
Symbian is in maintenance mode, therefore will no longer see any more major firmware updates, only perhaps the odd bug fix or two.

Rectangle and Mouse problems

I'm trying to use a mouse to draw a rectangle that stays after I've drawn it. For some reason after I click, which initializes oldx and oldy, drag it, and release it, which initializes x and y, I have to click an extra time to draw the rectangle, then when I move the mouse the rectangle disappears. How do I get the program to draw the rectangle permanently and how do I get the rectangle to stay on the screen?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Squares extends Applet implements MouseListener
private int oldx,oldy,x,y;
public void init()
    addMouseListener(this);
    public void paint(Graphics g)
      g.setColor(Color.red);
      g.fillRect(oldx,oldy,x-oldx,y-oldy);
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
      oldx=e.getX();
      oldy=e.getY();
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
      x=e.getX();
      y=e.getY();
      repaint();
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){}
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){}
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e){}
}

I'm trying to use a mouse to draw a rectangle that
stays after I've drawn it. For some reason after I
click, which initializes oldx and oldy, drag it, and
release it, which initializes x and y, I have to click
an extra time to draw the rectangle, then when I move
the mouse the rectangle disappears. How do I get the
program to draw the rectangle permanently and how do I
get the rectangle to stay on the screen?I'm not sure I got your question right. But I can draw the rectangle ok and move the mouse afterwards without the rectangle disappearing. The drawn rectangle only disappears if I click my mouse, which goes back into the init oldx and oldy stage.
In order to draw the rectangle permanently suggest you use a boolean varialbe to indicate its state. This boolean variable can be set after
g.fillRect(oldx,oldy,x-oldx,y-oldy); in your paint method

High light and underline won't work

please help me me figure this out! The underline, highlight, and strike through features in edit mode won't work for me.... does anyone know the cause or solution to this issue?

Check the Audio Midi Setup Application in Applications -> Utilities. Make sure it is set for 48kHz. Higher frequencies frequently make audio unplayable. Some of the older updates would change the default frequency.

Safari 4.0.3 and Mouse Problems???

Since installing Safari4.0.3 over 4.0.2 a little while ago, none of my mice's right button double click (or triple click) functions work any more i.e. Can't open a folder using double click.
Right clicks or any other mouse settings do work but just not double click or triple click functions. I'm using USB Overdrive to configure mouse settings. I've never before had problems with USB Overdrive.
I know, it doesn't make sense but It seems more than just a coincidence.
I'd like to reinstall Safari 4.0.2 but can't locate a download or it. Can anyone point me to it? I'd have to uninstall 4.0.3 first, I guess, but how?

I just discovered that I can't launch any of my apps when clicking on their dock icons(using my mice) but I can do so using my MacBook Pro's trackpad button.
If I click twice on a folder or file using my mouse button or even my trackpad button it won't open. Never had this problem before.
All these issues only after installing Safari 4.0.3.

Red Light and iTunes problems! Please help!

My macbook is a little more than a year old. Just recently a little red light came on inside the headphone jack and the internal speakers will not work any longer.
Well, I searched online and read about the "switch" that sometimes gets thrown off or whatever. I've tried locating this switch with a toothpick and small metal rod, but I can't find it. If I hold the metal rod in a certain way, the light will go off momentarily. And if I hold the headphone jack in a certain way, the internal speakers will work momentarily.
And just recently, iTunes has started acting up. I play a song, and it will play through the speakers. I take the plug to the speakers out of my macbook and plug it back in, and iTunes will not play the song. It states that it is playing, but no sound is coming out of the speakers that had just worked prior to unplugging them. I have to restart iTunes for it to work.
I can't afford to send my Macbook in.
Please Help!
=(

Now, on top of all of this, I have to jiggle the headphone switch around to even get full sound; otherwise sound only comes out of one side
Someone please help
I can neither afford to call Apple, or afford to send my computer in
And it's been a little over a year since I've had it
This is seriously horrible, horrible customer service
I'm extremely disappointed
I've never been rough with my macbook. I take the headphone plug out one day and this happens
Please help!!!

G580 Very slow, and mouse problems, please help

I purchased a brand new G580 approx 2 weeks ago.
It has 4GB of memory compared to my old lenovo which had 2GB. This new one runs at half the speed of my old one and has nothing on it (i.e pictures, music, vids etc)
If i open a programme to do something and then open another, it cannot cope with it and will take forever to do anything on the 2nd programme when it eventually opens.
also the mouse wanders! I dont have to be touching it or doing anything near it, it just wanders across the screen which is getting very annoying.
Please could somebody help me?

Hi kiri_tc,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that your G580 Laptop is not performing as expected and the cursor is moving erratic, re-installing the Touchpad driver should resolve this issue and let me know the OS (Operating System) that is installed in the computer and the country where the computer was purchased, also the Type of G580 for providing the steps to resolve performance issue and exact touchpad driver link. Below is the link to locate the model number and Type of the computer which is mentioned on the sticker at the base of the Laptop.
How to find the Serial Number (S/N) and Type of your computer
Hope to hear back soon
Best Regards

Keyboard and mouse problems

Within the past week I have had a lot of trouble with my powerbook. About 6 months ago I put tiger on it. Now when I use my computer it seems like it freezes up. Only certain keys work and the mouse will no open anything except for the drop down menus. Any ideas.

Turn your laptop off and then turn it back on.
