Fireworks won't recognize mouse clicks on the canvas/I cannot select items.

Recently, Fireworks has been acting weird.  When I try to click on an item on my canvas (with the pointer tool), such as a shape, a bitmap, or some text, I can see the corners light up as I hover over it, but when I click, nothing happens.  I have no problems clicking things in any of the palettes, but I can't select anything on a canvas. 
I re-installed the software (CS5 Suite), and it seemed to fix the problem.  But I just noticed it happening again.  Can anyone help fix this problem for good??  I'm running Fireworks CS5 version 11.0.0.484 installed on a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.7.5. 

Did you turn off Spotify? There are a number of compatibility issues with other software that occur with Fireworks under MacOs. Since FW will not receive any updates and is no longer developed/supported since May 2013, we can expect more and more issues in the future with new OS updates. Sad, but true.

  • My iMac doesn't recognize mouse clicks... HELP!

    Ok, I reset the SMC and PRAM (and repaired permissions)that made the mouse work until I shut down then I would have the problem again when I started up so I would have to zap the PRAM again.  I downloaded Mountain Lion and loaded it thinking this would overwrite any errors but now I can't log in at all. Even zapping the PRAM can't get it to recognize mouse clicks (the courser does move) .  Somebody please give me some advice I have total work stopage and I'm desperate!

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • I just downloaded (updated) Firefox to V 20.0.1 now the "search" does not work, either via the mouse click or the enter key. Windows XP.

    Updated to latest version, V 20.0.1 Now when on the home page the "search" does not function with mouse click or the enter key. Currently running XP Service pack 3. I also have the same problem (after same firefox update at home with my HP laptop running Windows 7.

    You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.<br />
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • HT1338 i upgraded from leopard to snow leopard ( i know i am really behind) but now iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. and the updates keep crashing when they are trying to install...help!

    I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

    Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
    10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
    To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    Safari 4.0.3 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Do you use iTunes Match?
    That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
    Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • When-Mouse-Click does not fire if When-new-item-instance exists

    We are using Forms 6i Patch 12.
    The When-Mouse-Click trigger (at block level) is not getting fired when a When-new-item-instance trigger exists on a given item on which mouse is clicked.
    We need to synchronize keyboard and mouse events such that if the validation on certain key items fails, the cursor should go to one of the specified items as per the validation rules.
    The validation rules are different on leaving from different items. Complex validation rules require cursor to go to a different item than the current item on which the validation fires.
    Since go_item cannot be used in when-validate-item, we are using a combination of key-next-item and when-mouse-click.
    But, this strategy seems to fail if mouse is clicked over an item having a when-new-item-instance trigger.
    Also, we need the When-mouse-click trigger to fire before When-new-item-instance.
    Any pointers to solving the firing of trigger or strategy will be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Sanjiv

    This solution we have tried and it works also.
    However, we end up in another problem in the form. For overall picture, please see my latest post for "Forms Valid status" at Forms Valid status

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

  • Motion keeps crashing when clicking on the canvas

    Hi. Does anyone else have this problem? Whenever I click on the canvas to select and move a object the Motion crashes. When I start my project everything goes well but after I have few layers and some more objects there it goes boooom. I'm really running out of my time with a client and I'm loosing my hair with this. GRRRR!!
    So if someone else has this problem and knows how to fix it, I beg some solutions.. Thanks!

    I'm having the exact same problem. It started yesterday evening. My log file is below (most of it). I had been working all day on something without working in the canvas and recall earlier that day installing the most recent update. Could this update be the problem? I've tried opening older versions of the file, deleting media, etc. Need help!

  • A brand new W540 and the Ultra Dock humms, black out external screen, won't recognize mouse and some

    Just received a W540 and an Ultra Dock. Here is my first impressions.
    During setup ... tried to connect my speakers directly onto the laptop.... HUMMMMM! (really loud humming sound, until Windows loads ...sounds like a short somewhere ...). Ok, obviously sound is not the main focus of W540.
    After a little while... boink! ... and the external screen goes black accompanied with the "Windows detected something disconnect"-sound. No matter what I clicked on the keyboard, or how much a moved the mouse, the external screen wouldn't turn on again. I had to flip up the screen on the laptop, and tada, Windows reported that something connected again, and the external screen turned on again. Turns out that I need to keep the laptop screen open at all times now, and now and then both screens disconnect and connect again. Not completely a showstopper, but somewhat annoying. Ok, how to fix - enter "lenovo ultra dock black screen" in Google and see that a bunch of people have experienced the same thing. After some reading, I found this official support page "LENOVO THINKPAD PRO DOCK AND THINKPAD ULTRA DOCK ARE CAUSING DISPLAY ISSUES ON EXTERNAL MONITORS" (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248). Seems to fit my situation perfectly. Just download the fwdphb03.exe program and follow the instructions. But does fwdphb03.exe even start?!? NO!
    Just a brief flicker and no application nor instructions to follow. In addition, I am Administrator on my machine. Please make applications that at least attempt to work....
    I have an Aten mouse and keyboard switch (KVM) (CS-1784 to be precise), which have been working seamlessly for years on all other machines I have (VMWare images with different Windows versions, Raspberry Pi and Mac). Connecting the KVM with it's mouse and keyboard renders a working keyboard and a dead mouse (remember - switching to one of the other machines renders working keyboard and mouse instantly).... <rant on>pheeew, starting to get a bad feeling here. OBVIOUSLY we have a lot of cool hardware like USB 3 and DisplayPort and what not, but WHAT DOES THAT MATTER, when the Lenovo folks can't program this stuff properly?</rant off>
    The W540 comes with a lot of Lenovo software. Much of it is really good and useful. But what happened when you try to log in to Windows? For some reason Lenovo want to inform you that the Num Lock is on when you see the standard login screen. The message something like "Num Lock is on - your password may be entered incorrectly". All in some black background, covering OVER the login field in Windows !!!! Hey, the laptop has a numeric keyboard, I don't need this message. Luckily others again have experience the same thing. At this page http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T540p-numlock-warning-at-login/td-p/142... I get the tip that I need to rename the tpnumlk.exe to something else. Gone was the stupid message.
    My advice to Lenovo - don't include stuff that harvest a lot of complaints and that obviously is going to annoy your customers. Even if the machine was one with a small keyboard and no separate numeric keyboard, I would NEVER EVER want to have some ugly black box covering over the standard login field…  I can’t even imagine that the developer of this tool, use it (nor like it)! That is exactly why bloatware gets its reputation.
    I would of course understand all this if I were talking about cheap machines and some wacko docking station. But I am not.... This is state-of-the-art, 2014, expensive-style laptop from the same manufacturer.
    PS! At the end of this session, Lenovo tells me that there is a problem with the powersystem, and that it want to reduce power to sustainable levels....

    can you connect the device in _*recovery mode*_ ?
    JGG

  • Firefox wont let my mouse click on the top part of a web page it wont let the mouse curso recognize a link and wont let me click on links in about the top 2" of a web page

    if I am looking at a webpage doesnt matter which one and I move the cursor to a link in the top 2" or so of the page it will not recognize that it is a link and let me click on it the cursor stays just as the arrow and doesnt switch to the hand to let me click and open the link

    that was it I somehow figured it out right after I posted the question up here all I did was right click on the gray part of the tool bar and unchecked yahoo so it wouldn't show up thanks for the help.

  • My search media bar brings up the stuff I want when I search for it but won't let me click on the results for anything.

    Hi guys, I've been having troubles with my search bar for searching media in itunes. It worked a while ago but now when I search it brings up results and the results I want but it won't let me click them for anything. I can't go to the song, album or artist or add it to the song queue. It's really annoying to go through my library and search for a specific song without using the search. Please Help!
    Thank You!

    you said you turned your phone off. was it a reboot, or an off? Ive noticed that if the memory is low and you have
    a lot of apps or processes running, it really causes the system lag. Try holding down the top button and home button at the same time. Then wait until it has powered down. In 60 sec or so, restart it the same way. Should fix your issue. There is an app I use called Lite Scan. It allows me to see what is running and it will free up 30mg at a time. Not much granted but enuf to keep the system from going to a crawl.
    as far as your device in itunes goes, open itunes, without your phone connected. look in the advance settings and make sure everything is as it should be. Back up your data and try again. good luck
