Having difficulties with my Magic Cordless Mouse

I got home from a long trip last night and updated my software on my new i7 iMac. Then, I needed to change the batteries on my cordless mouse. Ever since, the mouse is recognized (I can move the cursor around the screen), but when I left click, nothing happens. I CAN right click, however, and can control SOME things that way. Any ideas what is going on?
Please help!

You may have a corrupt cache. Restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. If that still doesn't work then do both a iMac SMC and PRAM resets. And finally if those do not help then re-pair the mouse using:

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
Here is a link to drivers:

You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Is anyone having difficulties with the new yahoo mail and mac 10.8.5?

I am using an older intel based imac desktop...it is updated to 10.8.5 I use Safari to browse. I use Yahoo for my email. I know...don't say it. Please. LOL
Anyway, it seems that Yahoo has changed their email system (again) and I am having all types of difficulties. For starters it keeps asking to I want to expand or collapse all. The icon or whatever it is called these days stays right there on my inbox and blocks me from getting to the email that is beneath it. When I try to forward and delete the sender's name, it deletes the entire email. Is anyone else having these difficulties?
Thank you
Paul

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software. I hide the updates until I need them. Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os. I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work. First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark. If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

Tried to restore iPod and am now having difficulties with formatting

Hi everyone,
I had been having problems with my iPod Classic recently and I tried to restore it to factory settings. I believe the restore worked but I had walked away from my computer while it was going. Now, each time that i try to plug in my computer a folder pops up saying that I need to reformat the disk, but it won't let me. I'm not sure what to do. When I unplug my iPod from my computer and am looking through it, in my settings it says that I have 0GB free, yet, I have no music or anything on the iPod. Everything is listed as Other. Any ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I've already gone through the recommended restore and reinstall steps.

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Having Difficulties with the Paste Board Server (PBS)

Hello!
I have having difficulty with the paste board server with extensive use of QuicKeys v3.1.1. I have a repetitive process that draws data from FileMaker Pro 8.0v3 to populate variables in QucKeys via the clipboard. The data is then used by QuicKeys to control automated processes in a FileMaker Pro 6.0v3 solution. After about 8,000 copies, pastes, assign variable, and use variable processes, the pbs dies and is no longer usable in any application. I cannot copy, cut, or past after that. A log out or restart is required to get the clipboard working again.
I found an old reference to this (dating back to December of 2004) on the Mac OS X HInts website. It reads as follows:
I may be an unusual case, but I have a repetitive problem with Apple's Paste Board Server (pbs) dying on a semi-regular basis. The main symptom is the inability to copy and paste between applications. Logging out or rebooting will fix the problem every time, but a less disruptive solution is to spawn a new copy of /System -> Library -> CoreServices -> pbs. Some apps will connect to the new server automatically, though many (notably Firefox and TextEdit) need to be quit and restarted before they start working normally again.
How can you tell if pbs is dead? Open a Terminal window and run:
ps x | grep pbs
If pbs is dead, you'll see something like:
350 ?? Z 0:00.00 (pbs)
22200 std R+ 0:00.01 grep pbs
If pbs is alive, you'd see:
350 p4 S 0:00.29 /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs
22200 std R+ 0:00.01 grep pbs
If you see (pbs) in parentheses, it's dead! Zombied to be technical. If you see the full path to pbs listed out, then pbs is running fine. If you see both, then chances are you've already restarted pbs manually at some point since you last logged out or rebooted.
If your pbs is dead, you can starte a new one. Just open a Terminal window and type:
nohup /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs &
I have tried the above to no avail. When I check the pbs using the terminal command as stated above, I get the ??, but I also get the full path and no (pbs). Starting a new pbs does not seem to work. This info, of course, being 2 years old may no longer be relevant.
My sense is that the constant use of the automated processes eventually reaches some limitation of the pbs and it needs to be reset. I'd love to be able to do this from time to time in the form of an AppleScript or Terminal command during the process.
Any help on this would be much appreciated

Opened a case with apple, they were able to reproduce the error.
"Dear Marly,
I finally was able to get it to go to the point where I could try and purchase the allowance, and I received the same error that you initially reported. Now that we have finally been able to confirm that it is something specific to the account, I am going to open an investigation into what is causing it and report back as soon as we have resolved the issue.

I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop iMac, stops working periodically. The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all. Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

Hello:
Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper. Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

Having difficulties with XML Files and Final Cut Pro

Hi help community!
I am having a problem transfering / viewing / importing XML files from a hard drive onto Final Cut Pro.
I have tried importing and it says:
please choose a translation document file
followed by
ERROR:
No translation templates matching the selected XML were found. Unable to import this file.
I have also tried to convert using 'log and transfer' but in this instance I can see the XML file but its shaded & I am unable to click on it or drag it into the viewing window.
Any suggestions will be hugely appreciated! Thanks

Where did this XML come from? FCP only recognizes XML in the format it works with. It most likely willn not work with FCP in its current form.

Having difficulties with my M-Audio EX-P pedal.

Hey, I use Mainstage 2 for my live shows, and eerything works perfectly. I have multiple sounds across two different keyboards (M-Audio Keystation 49, Keystation 88). I use a sustain pedal which I have been able to assign to both keyboards or one induvidually just by having it plugged into the Keystation 88. I just received my EX-P pedal, and all I can get it to do is adjust volume on the Keystation 88 (as a whole, not any specific sounds). I was curious as to what all I could (or should be able to) do with this pedal. My plan was to be able to use it with my Keystation 49 to affect modulation and other effects I would add within the channel strip (such as Wah). Does anybody have experience with this pedal?

I will try that, thank you. Could I use the pedal through the volume or sustain input and then map the effect, or would I have to have a controller with an expression input?

Having difficulties with transferring iTunes. HELP!

I had to transfer my iTunes Library to my external hdd because I didn't have enough room on my laptop for it. It worked fine after I had transferred it and was using that library on my desktop. I never transferred or copied it to my desktop, I just used it via the hdd. But yesterday, when I went to get into my library, there weren't any songs in it. Then I went looking through my hdd to locate my library, I found a couple back up libraries but not my most recent library. When I opened the backups, they all had the exact same songs with the exact same date added. It wouldn't be so bad to just have these backup libraries if it hadn't been that I have added about 3,000 songs since that date added. Now they're all just on my iTouch and I'm trying to figure out how to get them into my Library without syncing and resetting my iTouch. My question is, how do I get all my songs and movies from my iTouch into my Library without resetting my iTouch to factory settings??
Any and all advice/help is greatly appreciated!!!!
~Felicia

For instance, the size of the ITunes folder is different, and inside the folder some files are not there, and all the music is not there either (in the external HD copied location).
Then the first thing to do would be to consolidate your new iTunes library as well: Open your new iTunes Library in iTunes and
Open iTunes Preferences:
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click Advanced.
Make sure the option to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is selected.
Click OK.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Then check if now your music is included in your new Library.
To see where iTunes stores a song, select the song in the iTunes Browser and control-click (or right-click) it and from the pop up menu select "Show in Finder".
If you see that the songs are inside the new Library, you can delete them from your old library.
The structure of your Library depends on your iTunes Version, so I can't tell you where to look - please post the version of iTunes you are using and the OS:
