Every keystroke or mouse click results in a 10 sec or more delay before responding. Suggestions??

Each time I type something or click my mouse, there is a delay before the keystrokes are recognized, or the mouse click has any results. This delay be as little as 5 secs but go up to as much as 15 secs. Very frustrating and a time waster if you add it all up.

Recording keystrokes and mouse clicks?

Greetings,
I need to be able to make scripts/macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks with location.
Is this possible with Automator?
Does anyone know of a way program to do this?
It seems so simple.
Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
Automator never would capture those key strokes.
But today I has a break through. This sequence does work:
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to bottom of the file and the cursor is placed below the last line.)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-UpArror to move cursor up one line and select the last line.
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
about 70% of the time this did get recorded correctly (I did maybe 3 recordings and one failed to select). Once it got recorded correctly it worked reliably.
So it seems to be able to capture some sequences but not others. Both sequences work very reliably when I type them but automator can only capture the last sequence.
Thanks for the suggestions. This tool is better than nothing but not anything I would recommend.

Every keystroke and mouse movement, I get an audio notice that I need to shut off. In Safari, the cursor cycles thru every link and metadata field and I get a verbal/audio notice of what it is. How do I shut this option off???

Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.
For OS X 10.7: From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Universal Access ▹ Seeing ▹ VoiceOver: Off
For OS X 10.8 or later: Select

Mouse click results in ending recording

Hi,
My co-worker is recording a sim and while it worked fine the
other day (doing exactly the same thing), it doesn't today. She's
recording an in-house built application and every time she clicks
certain on-screen buttons, the recording just ends.
Is this a known issue? Is there any way to fix it?
Help! If the issue is with the way things are programmed, we
wouldn't even know what to tell the programmer.
Thanks,
Deepali

Hi Deepali
You might be able to work past it by changing the keystroke
used to end the recording session. If you look at your Recording
Options, you change it there.
Aside from that, perhaps use the keyboard to "press" buttons
and not the mouse?

Some websites duplicate their URLs in history stack; cannot return to their parent with a single keystroke or mouse click.

On some websites, when I click on the left arrow or use the backspace key, the browser doesn't return to the parent URL. Looking at the list of currently-accessed URLs, the current URL is duplicated in the stack, so hitting back or left arrow just brings me back to the same (duplicated) URL. For instance:
site x <= current page
site x
parent
This just started happening recently (within the last two or three updates). It happens on several, but not all sites.
Thanks!

This can happen if there were redirects or otherwise forms submitted.
In such a case you can hold down the mouse button on the Back button to open the tab history and select the entry that you need.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Mouse Click Suddenly STOPS working... on all mice

I had a situation today I've never seen before. I selected an item in a folder in the finder to drag and drop, but I couldn't let go. My mouse would not receive a single click/left click. I thought it might be the mouse so I switched mice to an Apple mouse and it wasn't working either. A RIGHT click worked with both mice, but the system stopped recognizing and registering single clicks. I had to reboot to get back control of my system and mice.
Apple Mouse was plugged directly into the front of my G5.
I just updated to 10.5.3 when it came out but I hadn't seen this problem till just now...

I have a similar problem with 2 Mac Minis running 10.5.3. Prior to the update the mouse behaved fine, but now every so often mouse clicks are not registered. On any window the mouse click causes the window to loose focus, but nothing really happens. The only way to deal with the computer seems to be to try to quit all running applications and suddenly the mouse begins to function as normal. Any suggestions for a fix?

Magic Mouse continually shows context menu on all mouse clicks

Periodically the magic mouse gets into a mode where all mouse clicks result in the context menu appearing.
I can't even double click on a application to open.
I can sometimes get the behavior to stop by rebooting the machine (but not always). And there are times if I keep banging on the keyboard in a text entry area the all context menu all teh time behavior will stop.
Originally I thought it was just a magic mouse problem, but I see the same behavior if I swap it out with an old tethered mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks

It sounds like the Control/alt key may be stuck down. The CNTL click is another way to perform secondary click.
You can check for that by starting the Keyboard viewer. System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > check "Show Keyboard and character viewer in the menubar". Then click the icon in the menubar and start the Keyboard viewer. Any pressed keys will be reflected.

Captivate 8 - Mouse Click/Audio Narration Issue

I receorded my software simulation, then added recorded narration to each slide afterward. When I go to preview my course, each time the mouse click happens, the audio narration volume is decreased slighly before, during, and slightly after the mouse click. I wish I could say it was by a neglible amount, but on certain slides it nearly "covers" my narration completely. I can't seem to find anything in the Adobe Captivate forums about this specifically, which is surprising! So that leads me to believe there is a setting somewhere. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi there
The fact you don't see references to this in the forums is indicative of the fact that (at least for me) this is the first such report I've seen of this specific behavior. It could be that it's a bug. Following that, I'd strongly urge you to file a bug report on it using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
The behavior you are describing is consistent with what I might expect of the Background Audio and Slide narration.
If you aren't using Background Audio, perhaps try clicking Audio > Import to > Background so you get the dialog. Then configure the dialog so you clear the option for reducing the volume.
Once you have done this and clicked Save, click Audio > Remove > Background and see if that fixes anything. If not...
Try clearing the preferences and publish again,
My crystal ball is on the fritz and my psychic skills are nearly non-existent, so I can't tell whether you are using the Mac or the PC version. But if it's the PC version, here is how you clear the preferences.
Close Captivate
Right-click the Shortcut icon and choose Properties
From the Shortcut tab, click the Open File Location button
Windows Explorer should open - From there, locate the Utils folder
Double-click the CleanPreferencesWin.bat file
Restart Captivate and test
Cheers... Rick

Erratic Mouse Clicking

I have an iBook G4/933. Mouse click will work sometimes after booting up but only briefly and loses function seemingly without any pattern. I have booted with a Tiger disc and the mouse click works briefly, if at all, regardless of internal or external mouse. Have managed to repair permissions and repair hard disk while booted from CD. Have used an external "known good" Apple USB mouse and doesn't help. Have also zapped PRAM and reset PMU multiple times and no help. I can't blame a faulty OS install if the mouse isn't functioning properly while booted from Tiger install disc. If the internal clicker is to blame and is bad, would that also disable an external USB mouse click? I'm really stumped on this one and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There is an Apple article that might be of help:
Portables: Jumpy or erratic trackpad
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=17228
See if any of the suggestions in this article are helpful.
I don't know to what extent trackpad problems would affect the external mouse. But you could go to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Trackpad and check the box that says "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" and see if that will at least let you use an external mouse.
Please post back if none of this helps.
Good luck!

Mouse clicks and keystrokes

When I edit mouse click in mouse properties, it
doesn't always make the sound when it's checked (ticked), and
sometimes makes a mouse click sound when it's not ticked. If you
run it through again, it often responds differently. The same thing
happens with keystroke sounds, though less frequently. Is this a
common problem, is it my computer, or is there some way of fixing
this problem?

Keyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.

"Command + Mouse Click" Keystroke on Layers using CS4

I always use the "Command + Mouse Click" keystroke to create a "selection" and isolate an object on any particular Layer. It's always worked on previous versions of Photoshop.
However, for some reason this keystroke no longer works in CS4. It does work fine in Channels though but not in Layers.
Is anyone else having this issue?

OMG, you are the king! I'm sooo used to version 5.5 to CS1 where I can use the same keystroke outside the image icon boundaries. Thanks!

New HP wireless mouse turning off every 30 seconds until clicked

I just bought a brand new mouse...HP x3000 Wireless Optical Mouse Black and it keeps shutting off every 30 seconds or so and I have to click it to get it on again. Is this a battery saving feature? And how can I turn it off? Thanks

Mouse clicks occasionally stop working

I am currently deploying a Java Swing application, and sometimes the end-user encounters an unusual problem whereby they open the application and mouse clicks have no effect. The mouse movement is still tracked fine, as buttons and menus get highlighted as expected when the mouse passes over them. I searched for information about this problem, and learned that a work-around is to click the middle mouse button. This does indeed restore the mouse click behaviour and all continues to work fine after that.
So then I thought I might simulate a middle-button mouse click during my application start-up, in the hope of remedying the problem before any end-user actually sees it. The result is that instead of remedying the problem, I actually cause it to happen every time! The application gets into a state whereby mouse clicks are ignored, and clicking the middle-mouse button restores the mouse click behaviour.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and know of a way to prevent end-users from experiencing this problem? Here's some example code that demonstrates the behaviour:
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(new JButton("Click Me"));
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        try
            // Simulate a middle-button mouse click
            Robot robot = new Robot();
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}Note I'm using Java 1.6.0_07. Any help with this would be much appreciated,
Paul.

        try

            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
            // Simulate a middle-button mouse click again
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();

}?
