Expanding (or contracting) just with the mouse

Wondering if there's a way to activate in X a feature which I liked a lot in Logic 9?
Holding down the left mouse key in the Timeline just under the Cycle Bar and moving the mouse up or down it was possible to expand or contract the Arrange view laterally
(The same function as achieved by holding CNTRL + ALT + left or right arrow, which works fine in LPX)
Anyone found a way to do this in X
Peace

Just sorted myself out with this, sort of....
If you hold down Option while left-clicking and dragging the mouse you get exactly this.
Not quite as convenient as just dragging but hey!
Not the most esoteric point for LPX but may be of hlep to someone

My mouse and trackpad arent responding the click on finder, i can use multitouch but not 1 touch. Aswell when i go to the findertab at the bottum with the mouse, app icons Does Not expand.

My trackpad is responding the click on finder, i can use multitouch but not leftclick/1 click/touch. Aswell when i go to the findertab at the bottom with the mouse, app icons Does Not expand. I had no problems with it before, but I'm very confused.

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

HT1338 When I connect my Macbook Pro to my Dell DLP projector, either via cable or wirelessly, I just see a dark screen with the mouse and mouse trails only, can any one help?

jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

Is there a way to switch the right Ctrl with the mouse's rick click tab in the new X1 carbon?

Hi,
I just bought my new X1 Carbon and I was looking for a way to have the tab with the right click function (generally it is showed as a small window with the mouse arrow on it in bigger keybords) instead of the right ctrl button.
Thank

You should be able to do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/ Menu Editor] add-on.

I can't drag files with the mouse

Just installed Mountain Lion. After about four days I can't drag files with the mouse. Not across the desktop or from Finder window to Finder window.

I have the same problem, I have posted the below here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4152036?start=0&tstart=0
I have exactly the same problem on Mountain Lion- I go to drag files from the finder to another finder folder or the desktop and when I go to release the mouse button the file stays in a "hover" state, as if I hadn't released the mouse. It then follows my mouse cursor around forever. Very frustrating.
I have rebooted several times - any ideas?

Drawning text/images in a JPanel and then resizing/moving it with the mouse

Hello ebverybody!
I need to be able to draw some text objects in a JPanel and then resize/move it with the mouse... How could I do that!? Same for some images loaded from jpg files...
Should I just paint the text and then repaint when the mouse selects it? How to do this selection?! Or should use something like a jLabel and then change it`s font metrics?!
I need to keep track of the upper left corner of the text/image, as well as the width/height of it. This will be recorded in a file.
The text/images need to smoothly move around the panel as the mouse drags when selectin an entity.. not just "click the entity, then click another point and the entity appears there as if by magic...":)
Please, tell the best way to do that!
Thanks everybody!

I know what you mean! This happened to me as well!
And one thing that I found useful is, if you want to directly select a layer without selecting from the layers pallete and without having autoselect enabled, just hold Ctrl and click on in directly in the image. This saved me a lot of time!

Why can I no longer scroll with the mouse when using Pages?

A few days ago, I realized that I am unable to scroll within a Pages document with the mouse. The scroll bar is not there. The scroll feature works fine, and after trying to figure this out myself with no success, I thought I'd ask here. I have Pages '09 and I'm using OS X 10.9.5.

Thanks. That's not the problem. Scrolling works in everything else except Pages. I used to be able to scroll just by using my finger up or down on the mouse. Now, I can't do that. I tried setting the scroll bars to "Always", but then I have to physically click on the scroll bar and move it up and down. Not like it's that much hassle, lol, but I got used to just scrolling with my finger on the mouse.

Spotlight does not show the path or location of a file anymore when hovering with the mouse over the file

in Leopard Spotlight used to show you the path /location of a file when you stayed with the mouse over the result. As sometimes I just look for the location of a file not to open it like a mp3 file. It would be nice to have a opiton in spotlight to contorl or right click a file and then give the option to say show in finder. that only works when you have your results show up in finder first and takes a bit longer. or maybe in the new prieview window to show the loaation or give you opitons what to do with the file
Just an idea to spotlight even better

When you hover over a file in spotlight list (or select with up/down arrow) you can also hit command-R to open the folder where the file is located. Kind of like 'Show Original' for aliases.
But yeah, Apple really needs to just show the directory path on the hover pop-up by default. Obviously, when you do a search you'll most likely get several files with the same name - we need to see the locations to tell them apart. One of the main reasons to do a file search is to simply find out 'where the file is located' - not necessarily open the file. Seems pretty shortsighted to not show the file location in the search result.

When I select a single object in a layer and try to move it with the mouse, everything goes with...

I've been having this problem where I can't use the move tool with the mouse properly. I'll go and select a single item on a layer and then try to move it with the mouse (move tool). I've done this before and still do it all the time on Photoshop on my other machines. However, on my laptop it won't work. I grab the single object I want to move and the second I move it, it defaults to moving every single layer in my file. The only way to get around it is to use the arrows, but that's becoming laborious and frustrating.
Any ideas?

Do precise sliders adjustments with the mouse wheel

I would like to be allowed to use the mouse wheel to move sliders in small increments/decrements. E.g. 1 by 1 for Recovery and Blacks and 100 by 100 for Temp in Develop module. To be also fast, I should just need to hover with the mouse over the slider, and then use the wheel (with no need to click). Leaving the mouse to use two hands and hit Alt+arrows just doesn't cut it.

Nicolas,
if you have to do a click at first to give them the focus, then you have to do a de-click afterwards as well or at least hit the enter key. Otherwise following shortcuts will be eventually misinterpreted because the focus still remains on the slider.

Tabs always "snap" when adjusting them with the mouse

As you can tell I am a new poster to this forum, and I am getting up to speed with Pages '09.
However, I am a long time user of all versions of AppleWorks, from ClarisWorks to AppleWorks, and I know a bit about them, okay.
Unfortunately, I find some things annoying with Pages '09, but please note that I also find the positives are well in advance of those, by miles or kilometers if you will.
As my subject suggests, when one is adjusting the tabs with the mouse, the tabs always snap to the closest whole number position of the ruler setting. I believe that this feature is wrongly implemented, especially if you don't have another option to over-ride it.
I know that I can fine tune the tabs using the Inspector and the Text tab settings for Tabs, but having to use this feature slows you down, A LOT!
This post is really just a way for me to "let off some steam," so to speak, as I know that there really isn't much that anyone can do about it, unless that this feature is reprogrammed.
So what about it Apple engineers, such a small feature, such a big time saver.
Much regards
Felix Macri

I have to thank all the people who commented on this seemingly "small-time" item.
It would seem a bit unfair that such a solution would require that someone other that Apple would have figured it out and then posted it.
Seems like we are fending for ourselves here.
Maybe because this program is such a complex beast, that some of their features slipped through the cracks in regard to updating their documents.
Whatever.
We have the solution by someone's ingenuity. Viva the collective minds of the rest of us.
Much regards

Interactive Form jumps back to the cursor when scrolling with the mouse

In an interactive form over multiple pages, the user should enter some fields and will then scroll down - usually with the mouse's scrollwheel. As long as the cursor is in an active field, adobe reader keeps jumping back to the place the cursor is active... So it is not possible to scroll down.
Scrolling down by sidebar works fine.
As a workaround, I can place the cursor outside of any entry field (just by klicking any text within the form) and scrolling down works fine again.
I guess this is a "feature" and not a bug - but it is driving our users crazy!
Any suggestions or ideas about how I could get scrolling to work will be highly appreciated.
Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 8.1.2
Adobe Reader 9.4.0

Hi Nicolas,
I am using 8.2.3 ADLC with 9.X reader (for sure this may not be any version dependent as such)
I didn't find any such behavior, and I never heard about it earlier.
Some how I feel this is not a feature nor bug in adobe, its something with your form. may be there is a set focus cdoe somewhere or so.
can you send me the form to test it in my local pc ...?
cheers,

Navigating with the mouse: Differences between iDVD 4 and 5

Hello,
I just finished making a DVD with iDVD5. Everything, slideshows, movies and menus were in the right place and playable but I was surprised to find that I could only navigate using the up/down arrows on the control panel or the keyboard. Last time I made a DVD I used version 4 and I could select a movie from the finished DVD with the mouse.
Is this a feature change between versions 4 and 5 or a settings choice I have failed to make before burning in 5?
Thanks for any help.
Will Percy

John,
Thank you for responding. I've been having some trouble with Safari and OmniWeb (not being able to play QuickTime content,) which I think coincided with my installing Flip4Mac software. After disabling all the plugins except those for QuickTime normal service resumed. I haven't had time to slowly switch plugins back on to see which is the culprit, but I wonder if this problem had any bearing on my iDVD question? I should also burn another DVD to see if the problem has been resolved.
Thanks again for taking the time to offer help.
Will

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?
