I can't drag any object with trackpad or mouse. Please Help

Since yesterday, like a bolt out of the blue, mouse and trackpad stop working properly, in the sense that I cannot drag any object in my desktop or in any application neither with the mouse, neither with the tackpad. Moreover, when I lunch Mercury I get a massage stating that some Java routine cannot be opened and Azureus refuse to start. My computer use last version of leopard and all the updates available, last java upgrade included. Everything else seems to work properly. Any idea of what colud be wrong and what can I do ti solve this irritating issue? Thanks.

I can't think where else to look for this gremlin...
How well backed up are you and do you have a clone of your system prior to the drag & drop problem? If you do, I'd erase your internal and copy over the good clone. Or, restore from a previous date from Time Machine.
If not, you ought to run off a SuperDuper clone now. (SD is free for cloning) Then, do an archive & install. After you have everything you need back, delete the volume with clone since it is corrupt and run a good clone from your trouble free system

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I tunes will freeze when it says waiting for sync to start . I can not put any media on my device ! please help !!!

    Please help me figure out why my iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I wish to prevent wiping the device clean if possible.
    thanks,
               Brian

    I have had exactly the same problem before, I have followed the guide as suggested to the letter and still no joy, each time (3 times now) that I have reinstalled the latest version of iTunes it is recognised and syncs with my iphone but with the next reboot of my computer it is gone again.
    Try to refer this article about [how to transfer iPhone contents to computer|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/Howto_transer_or_backup_iPhone_contents_toPC].
    Hope it works you out.

  • Can't compile PHP5.2 with Oracle ORA support, please help!

    Hi peoples,
    first post on here - hope someone can assist.
    I am compiling PHP 5.2 on RedHat Enterprise 4 AS intel 64bit with oracle ORA and LDAP support compiled in. I am using Apache 2.0.52-28 installed from RedHat RPMs.
    I am using the following configure line:
    ./configure with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf with-oracle=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 with-ldap=/usr enable-sigchild enable-libgcc
    The only oracle related messages I have found during the configuration are:
    checking for Oracle (OCI8) support... no
    checking Oracle OCI support for PDO... no
    However I am told these are newer methods of Oracle communication protocols and not related to what I am trying to achieve.
    After building and installing PHP 5.2, reconfiguring apache httpd.conf and restarting httpd I find that the output of phpinfo.php shows no mention of oracle whatsoever apart from the Configure Command section at the beginning confirming that yes, --with-oracle= was specified.
    I have tried setting ORACLE_HOME=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 environment variable before running ./configure but to no avail.
    I have also tried adding various Oracle environment variables to my startup scripts for Apache, also to no avail.
    Any ideas? I am really under the pump to get this sorted as it is for a new production server here and I am limited timewise to get it up and running.
    Cheers
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    I have php 5.2 installed on a RH 64 bits so our configurations are almost the same (I use Apache 1.3 and Oracle 10g).
    I compiled 5.2 from source succesfully with this instruction:
    ./configure with-config-file-path=/opt/apache with-libdir=lib64 with-oci8=/opt/oracle/orase/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --enable-sigchildReplace the required values to match your system and try to see if it works for you.
    Let me know how it goes. Any additional problem, I'm glad to help.

              //this.em.getTransaction().commit();
    If I do not call em.flush(), no error throws, and program is executed succesfully. BUT nothing is saved to DB. IF I used em.flush(), I got errormsg - "No Transaction", but the Dao is already annoted with @Transactional.
    Reading through the JPA is no problem.
    I tried different solutions heavily, but no result. Pleaes anyone point out what's the error and why object can not be serialized to DB.
    Thanks very much

    Hello,
    You might try posting on a different forum (possibly a Spring forum) as this one is more specifically aimed at TopLink/EclipseLink which you are not using.
    It appears the em is not associated to the transaction, but I can't suggest much other than point you at an EclipseLink Spring integration demo such as described here
    http://www.vogella.de/java.html
    or http://blog.springsource.org/2008/07/17/using-eclipselink-on-the-springsource-application-platform/
    which might show settings that are missing or incorrect.
    If you switched to using EclipseLink as the JPA provider i would suggest uploading the log file as that might detail how or why it is not being assocated to the transaction.
    Best Regards,
    Chris

  • I Can't See any album art on my ipod Please help

    For some rerason all of my album artwork won't show up on my ipod anymore. The only way to make it show up is to put the album art on in the library before putting it on my ipod but I have over 1700 songs and it is not worth deleting them to do that. I tried clicking the box to show album art so that it won't show covers and then reapplying it but that won't work. I used to be able to put album art even on files that were already on my ipod. Is that still possible?

    there is a work around. i had the same problem

  • Problems with my wireless mouse please help!!!!

    Hi I have a wireless mouse with a magic charger and the mouse keeps losing contraction when I'm using it and the battery pack keeps popping outP

    Read these notes I made recently.   Pay particular attention to the quality of the batteries.   If you are using dime a dozen batteries they usually are too small and do not connect properly.
    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
    Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.   I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.   Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.   Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
    Note.  Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.  
    The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.   Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ...
    Turn off the device.
    Remove the batteries,
    Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves.
    Replace or renew both batteries.
    Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired.
    Click the mouse to activate it.  The green light becomes steady.

  • I can't drag data objects to human task

    Hi,
    I am newbie using SOA, BPM and Jdeveloper.
    I am following a tutorial to learn how to create and implement a process, but I get stuck when I need to create the human tasks.
    When I create the human task, I can't drag data objects to the parameter table.
    I delete and begin the tutorial a several times. And the issue persist.
    I don't know if I miss a step, but I read and implement the tutorial carefully.
    Any advice or someone have a good tutorial for begginers in that Platform.
    Systems Specs:
    Oracle Databse 11g R2
    SOA 11.1.1.6.0
    Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.6.0
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jose,
    If you're doing this using the Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g tutorial, I'd need more information.
    I doubt that this is the case, but just on the outside chance that it was the result of some procedural mistake you made, I created a short video that steps you through this.
    If you'll export your project and store it on some file sharing site that I can get to, I'll be glad to take a look at it for you.
    You haven't gotten to these steps in the tutorial, yet but after just looking at it I noticed a couple issues you I believe that you'll run into: 
    The way it has you changing the role name from "Role" to "Requestor" will not work.  If you follow the instructions, you will not be able to create new instances (nothing will appear in the Applications link).  The reason is that there is a bug so that when you deploy the project after changing the name in Organization to another role, the deployed project keeps the original name (Role in this case) but your role assignment can only be set to the new name (Requestor).  Before you get to that step, make sure that you have added a new Requestor role in the process.
    The tutorial was written for 11.1.1.3 and if you're on a release after the 11.1.1.5 feature pack you will see that the data mapping is done completely differently.  Look at the video I have in the link above before doing this step.  While this step in the tutorial will be confusing, you can figure it out if you note the "Input" and "Output" tabs at the top of the Data Associations dialog.  You just need to drag the object on the left (e.g., "hello") over to the object on the right (e.g., "helloObject").
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

  • Can't Drag and Drop with a Double Tap using Single Finger in Lion?

    I installed the Mac OS X Lion two days. But I can't drag and drop with a Double tap using Single Finger, which I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    If I choose Three Finger Move, then Swap Between Pages goes back to "Scroll left or right with Two Fingers" that only works with Safari, but doesn't work with Chrome or Firefox.
    I tried literally every setting in Trackpad and also checked if there was a override settings and there is no overrride setting.
    Would be thankful, if you guys could suggest me what to do?
    ======================================
    My Machine Configuration:
    Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010)
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
    4GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 320m
    Mac OS X Lion (Installe on a updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Hey Serge many thanks for telling me how to do. now its working like previously
    I just cheked the Dragging under Trackpad option and unchecked Three Finger Moves. now I can drag and drop with a double tap using single finger.
    Thank you guys. You are the best

    I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
