Gestures with regular mouse

it is possible to use the nice safari gestures (and also system wide) with usual mouse?
thank you.

If you have a mouse that has additional buttons (i.e. something like a Razer Mamba) you should beable to script the additional buttons.
What I would like to know is if there are any key combinations or shell scripts that can be used.
It's possible... just need help with those commands.
These programs also look like possibilities:

(Haven't tested either personally though)

Why is Photoshop CC 2014 nearly crash with Wacom and fix itself when I move my regular mouse?

I have Photoshop CC 2014 (completely updated through Creative Cloud). I am currently using a Wacom Intuos 3 9"X12" with the Intuos drivers all updated. Everything is updated. I am working on Windows 8, on a computer with 8 GB's of RAM. I have never had this problem before using Photoshop until just recently. Before I updated Photoshop CC 2014, I was having trouble putting in text into my files. I would go to edit or add text, and it would say that the text function was unavailable. I was pretty ticked, since I'm in school full time for animation and NEED Photoshop to work as fast as possible and this was making things harder. So, I updated. The text thing got fixed, but for some reason, whenever I use my wacom tablet to draw, it will work for a little bit (like two minutes) before it pretty much freezes my computer. It gets laggy and doesn't show anything on screen. I have waited almost two minutes before. But, whenever I move my REGULAR mouse (trackpad or USB mouse) it catches up with what just happened (including going from layer to layer if I clicked on those to get things moving). It makes it REALLY hard to work with this, and it's increased my worktime by at LEAST 45%, since I have to constantly fix this with a move of my regular mouse. During that time, I cannot click on anything with my wacom pen or use the hotkeys on the keyboard (the default ones).
It, so far, doesn't seem that Photoshop CC has it, but I cannot update to that version. I always get to 75% or something REALLY fast, and then it says there was an error. I just don't know what's going ON with my programs. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall or something? My computer is set to optimize weekly, and I've done multiple scans to make sure I don't have a virus or something. Everything in clean, and I'm not overloaded on stuff, either. I usually only have two or three programs total open, Photoshop CC 2014 included. It ends up either being Photoshop and Firefox or Photoshop, Firefox, and iTunes to listen to music. I use a second monitor, as well, to make my flow go faster.
Help ASAP would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Can you use a regular mouse with a MacBook Pro?

I have difficulty using the mouse that came with my father's Mac desktop. I just ordered a MacBook Pro and I'd like to know if
I can use a regular mouse with it?

Yes any brand mice work with all Mac computers.

Can't turn off swiping with Magic mouse

I have the magic mouse with a brand new 27 inch iMac, running OS 10.6.2. The magic mouse is almost unusable in any spreadsheet because the sheet will suddenly shift left and right because of my tendency to have two fingers on the mouse. This is true in Excel as well as Google's online spreadsheets. So I decided to turn off two finger swiping, but it still does it! Do I need to revert to a regular mouse or is there an easy fix?

I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem with the Magic Mouse: I cannot disable the lateral scroll feature. This is terribly frustrating whenever coming across a page that extends beyond the width of the screen: It is virtually impossible to scroll vertically without some concomitant lateral scrolling!
I've spoken with Apple Care about this... and the techs there were "surprised" that lateral scrolling could not be disabled! Their advice: wait until some 3rd party utility comes along to solve the problem!

How to set up gesture on Magic Mouse for Launchpad ?

I wonder is there any gesture to open Launchpad on the Magic Mouse like on the Magic Trackpad ???

...which suggests the answer to your original question is 'no'!
If you want to use LP with a mouse, you'll need to click it from the Dock icon or Applications folder.
You could try 3rd party tools, like Better Touch Tool, which has some support for Magic Mouse gestures, but I don't use it myself so couldn't say whether that includes support of an LP gesture. Still, its free to try out, so easy to find out (let us know if it does!).

New iMac user. My mouse doesn't seem to work properly on websites. I just want to be able to click and have it do whatever I've clicked on automatically, for example "print" or "open link". Has anyone else had problems with their mouse?

Has anyone else had problems getting used to their mouse and how the clicks work or don't work on the internet? I click and it doesn't automatically do what I click on. So frustrating!

Hi ndearborn0273!
This is most likely just a settings issue with your mouse that you are able to change through the System Preferences. I have an article for you that can help you set this back to default, and that article can be found right here:
Mac Basics: Set your preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
Specifically, you will want to pay close attention to this section of that article:
Customize your mouse
The Mouse preferences pane looks different depending on what kind of mouse you use. These settings let you set the sensitivity of the mouse to control how fast the pointer moves across your screen when you move your mouse, and adjust for your double-click reflexes. Other controls may be available, depending on the type of mouse you're using.
Open System Preferences.
Choose View > Mouse, or simply click Mouse.
To control how fast the pointer (cursor) moves across your screen when you move the mouse, click Point & Click and use the Tracking slider to adjust speed.
If Double-Click Speed appears, you can use the Double-Click slider to adjust speed.
If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use the Scrolling slider to adjust speed.
To change gesture settings, click the More Gestures tab. You can enable and disable gestures for swipe and Mission Control.
Judging by your post, I believe your secondary click setting is set to use the left side of the mouse. The default set up for a former Windows user to be most comfortable would be having the secondary click set to the right side of the mouse, as is shown in the picture I have inserted above. Note that these settings will be explained by the little video on the right hand side of this window as you hover over the description of the action on the left hand side.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Interesting and useful gesture with the Magic Trackpad

I just discovered something that might be useful to others. I often am dragging small projects between HDDs, in/out of folders, etc. from within FCPX. I use a Magic Trackpad alongside my MB Pro. I just discovered that if I click and hold steady with one (index) finger, I can use the next two fingers and easily scroll a long list of Projects to get where I'm trying to copy or move the selected Project.
Before with a mouse, or the trackpad, I was always tryiing to hit that sweet spot in the corner which would auto scroll the list. I find it hard to do and especially on a track pad. The method above is so much faster and easier, though it does require holding the index finger rock steady while sliding the other two fingers.
This seems to work on the large trackpad of 2009+ MB Pros also though it's harder due to size, placement, etc.
This click with one finger, drag with two technique seems to work in other apps, and other parts of FCPX. I just had not cought onto it until the scenario I described above.

maybe I don't get your description a 100% but ... ??
to scroll in the Project list, no 'click'n hold' needed - just the usual 2fingers scroll.
and I wouldn't use the index-finger for a 'click'n hold' - just click with your thumb - and let it stay on the trackpad - and move one or two fingers, as needed.
(my wrist rests on the table, right thumb lower left of MTP, fingers hovering, clicking, touching, smearing )
interesting method is a 'mouse-less' usage of FCPX demoed here:

I work with a child who is not able to move his neck. to see the ipad, it has to be placed high above the table (eye level). he needs access with a mouse - is this possible?

I work with a child who has physical disability and cannot move his neck. The ipad needs to be eyelevel in order for him to see it, but he also is not able to raise his hand and would need mouse access... is this possible?

I'm sorry but the iPad does not work with a mouse, there is no cursor on the iPad and the iPad was designed as a touch screen device so a mouse will not work.
I really don't know what to suggest other than this new device, and it might be worth a look. I assume that the child can use his hands for a keyboard.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from A

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

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?

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.

Help, please - I need a box to pop-up when user hovers over a field with their mouse??

I created a form with several drop-down fields / questions. I would like to create a box that pops up when the person who is filling out the form hovers over the question/ field with his or her mouse. The box would contain additional information about the question that the person might consider before they select the answer. I don't want to clutter the form (and not all form-filler-outers will want or need to see the additional information) so I want it to pop up when the person hovers over the question with their mouse.
Can someone provide some help with how I can do this?
I'm still new to this.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
To follow on from radzmar, here is a summary of the features that are available/restricted depending on how you deploy your form.
There are two ways to apply Reader rights, one is using Acrobat Standard (v9) or Acrobat Professional (v8). The other is using an Adobe server product called LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.
You don't need script to apply the Reader rights to your form. Once you have applied the rights, users with Reader will be able to save the data in the form, however there may still be other restrictions in place, like attaching documents to the form or exporting XML data.
There summary is also available in PDF, with screen shots, here: http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
Hope that helps,
Niall

Scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work anymore

Suddenly scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work any more. Left clicking and cursor moving works normal. I have checked the system preferences for the mouse and find nothing strange or unchecked. Any ideas?

Also tried the universal access thing. Doesnt work.

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).
