Internal mouse

Internal mouse first works when you turn computer on but the minute you double click it it stops working correctly - it either freezes or it highlights everything and won't let it go. An external mouse does the same thing. I can't get it to work long enough to check the mouse preferences.
Any help, please.

I am have the same problem with an iBook G4/933. Mouse click will work sometimes after booting up but only briefly and loses function seemingly without any pattern. I have booted with a Tiger disc and the mouse click works briefly, if at all, regardless of internal or external mouse. Have managed to repair permissions and repair hard disk while booted from CD. Have used an external "known good" Apple USB mouse and doesn't help. Have also zapped PRAM and reset PMU multiple times and no help. I can't blame a faulty OS install if the mouse isn't functioning properly while booted from Tiger install disc. If the internal clicker is to blame and is bad, would that also disable an external USB mouse click? I'm really stumped on this one and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Disable 2009 macbook internal mouse

ok so i need to have my trackpad replaced and i have already seen the apple bar about this, but at the moment with crazy hours of a uni student i simply dont have the time to have it replaced right now. So my question is, is their anyway i can disable it. I am using an external mouse at the moment but sometimes i accidentally touch the trackpad and i need to restart the computer.
I have read other posts on disabling trackpads but i dont have the option to press "ignore trackpad when mouse is present." please HELP thanks everyone

Hi freya34,
I believe the following article may be what you are looking for:
Mac notebooks: Enabling the "Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" feature
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3608
The option to enable or disable "Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" on your Mac notebook can be found in System Preferences:
OS X v10.7 Lion or OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accessibility.
Click the Mouse & Trackpad pane.
OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Universal Access.
Click the Mouse & Trackpad pane.
Cheers,

X300 USB mouse (and bluetooth mouse) stutters

Hi,
I have a X300 which works really great apart from one really annoying problem:
The internal mouse works great (UltraNav) however when I connect an external USB mouse (Logitech or Microsoft) the mouse sometimes works great but may times it stutters very badly.
I am running Vista with 802.11N (tried G with the same problem), Kaspersky and Firefox.
I thought that I might have a problem with the USB mouse conflicting with my WIFI so I bought the Lenovo Bluetooth Mouse - only to see the same problem.
One thing I noticed was that even if the external stutters - the internal Ultranav works like a charm - no stutter at all.
Any ideas?

This is still happening, no one else having this problem?

PS2 mouse goes crazy on T8000

Hi there,
When i trie to use a Trust optical mouse with my T8000, this mouse goes crazy. The "internal mouse" in the keyboard keeps working perfectly... but that's who wants to use that?
Ideas anyone?

Hi
It is not easy to explain why this happened. In my opinion you should try with another external mouse. Try also to disable internal mouse while you use an external one.
Check also BIOS settings. There is an option called Pointing Device or something like that. Try to change from Auto-selected to Simultaneous.

Multiple DnD in JTreeTable

Hi Folks--
two weeks ago I started to implement Drag and Drop for my wonderful TreeTableComponent, that is based on a JTreeTable described in an article by sun. It didn't took me long to figure that dnd is not the easiest thing to do for a JTreeTable. So I browsed this forum and found many other people who have or had the same problem. Since the given answers didn't help me so much, I thought it would be good to publish my implementation here:
After two weeks I managed to implement dnd in the right way (as I belive). Here's my solution.
1. disable internal dnd function by setDragEnabled(false)
2. set your own transfer handler that manages dnd for you (derive from TransferHander or simply create an instance of TransferHandler)
3. add a mouse listener and a mouse motion listener to your treeTable to tell the transfer handler to start the drag
4. revert order of mouse listener that you mouse listener is called first -> this is importent to keep selection on all previously selected nodes (prevents internal mouse handler of tree changing selection to the node you just clicked onto)
5. set selection mode of table and tree to make multiple selection possible to the user
add this where you init the table:
('table' is instance of a JTreeTable derivative)
        //disable internal dnd functionality, because we need our own implementation
        table.setDragEnabled(false);
       //attach transfer handler
        table.setTransferHandler(createTransferHandler());
        //since we have a transfer handler, we just need to attach mouse listeners
        //to initiate the drag inside of the transfer handler
        DnDMouseAdapter dndMouseAdapter = new DnDMouseAdapter();
        table.addMouseListener(dndMouseAdapter);
        table.addMouseMotionListener(new DnDMouseMotionAdapter());
        //revert MouseListeners order so that our MouseListener is called first
        //this is important to give drag n drop first priority and prevent the
        //internal mouse handler of tableUI changing the selection.
        MouseListener[] mls = table.getMouseListeners();
        for (int i = 0; i < mls.length; i++) {
            if (mls[i] != dndMouseAdapter) {
                table.removeMouseListener(mls);
table.addMouseListener(mls[i]);
//set multiple selection
table.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(getSelectionMode());
//set selection mode for tree
final JTree tree = getTreeTable().getTree();
tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
The idea for the mouse listeners I got from sun's swing tutorial. So here's the code for dndMouseAdapter and dndMouseMotionAdapter:
class DnDMouseAdapter extends MouseAdapter {
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
            firstMouseEvent = e;
            e.consume();
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
            firstMouseEvent = null;
    class DnDMouseMotionAdapter extends MouseMotionAdapter {
        //define diplacement of five pixel for as drag
        private static final int PIXEL_DISPLACEMENT = 5;
        public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
            if (firstMouseEvent != null) {
                e.consume();
                //if the user holds down the control key -> COPY, otherwise MOVE
                int ctrlMask = InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK;
                int action = ((e.getModifiersEx() & ctrlMask) == ctrlMask) ? TransferHandler.COPY : TransferHandler.MOVE;
                int dx = Math.abs(e.getX() - firstMouseEvent.getX());
                int dy = Math.abs(e.getY() - firstMouseEvent.getY());
                //define a displacement of at least some pixel as a drag
                if (dx > DnDMouseMotionAdapter.PIXEL_DISPLACEMENT || dy > DnDMouseMotionAdapter.PIXEL_DISPLACEMENT) {
                    //starting to drag...
                    JComponent c = (JComponent) e.getSource();
                    TransferHandler handler = c.getTransferHandler();
                    //tell transfer handler to start drag
                    handler.exportAsDrag(c, firstMouseEvent, action);
                    //reset first mouse event for the next time
                    firstMouseEvent = null;
    }I hope that helps! ;-)
Any comment is apprechiated!
Kind regards,
Patrick

I'm absolutetly devastated!!
I spent hours looking for advice on a treetable component after someone mentioned the idea not too long ago, in another thread might I add.
And I just spent the last 2 damn weeks implementing myy own. I feel heart broken! JTreeTable v1 was even very similar tomy first bash...but I gave on using the JTree as the renderer as it just looked lame... the way I did it anyway.
So just today I finished my own impl, with a new JComponent derivative soley for the rendering of the tree-like column.
Any clue as to when they intend to make it a standard JFC Swing component.
Bloody marvelous! So annoyed as it was a serious road-block to my current project! And asmuch as it was fun, I didn't choose to do for fun. AAAAAAARRRGGH!!
ps. congratulations, if you feel at all like how I felt half an hour ago, you must be very chuffed.

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

and this:
http://macdailynews.com/2005/08/02/apples_new_mighty_mouse_provides_audio_feedba ck_for_clicking_and_scrolling/
and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Hi Ted,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...

Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

My mac mini only shows a steady power light and fan noise when powered up. No video or sound and no commumication with wired keyboard or optical mouse. Tried replacing internal battery and resetting PMU/SMC but nothing seemed to happen. Any suggestions?

You've already done the two things I would have suggested.
If your Mini has an internal battery then I assume it's a G4. That means you've gotten a lot of good years of service from it, and it's old enough that it's certainly not covered by AppleCare anymore, and it's probably not worth spending money trying to repair it.
You should be able to tear it apart using instructions from ifixit.com to get the hard drive out, and then put the hard drive into a nice USB or FireWire enclosure (I like the ones from Other World Computing, macsales.com) so you can transfer your data to a replacement Mac.
I hope someone has another suggestion for you.

The cursor on my iMac freezes, and I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard ... it is internal. How do I fix this??

The cursor on my iMac (Panther 10.3.9) freezes to where I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard. How do I solve this problem?

Sorry to say but your imac g5 logic board has bad caps. This was a problem apple had and issued a out of warentee fix but that has now expired.
The cost to get this repaired is more than what you could find another used imac for.
I would suggest you get some details before you rush to make a diagnosis. You have absolutely no information to base this on. I see you're hitting up on numerous threads all over the place. Quality, meaning several good posts with reliable advice, is much more worthwhile than quantity.

Mouse Jitter when hovering over layers in PS CC. *Internally screaming*

Whenever I hover my mouse over my layers, the icon switches between a mouse/arrow icon and a finger pointing icon. The mouse also jitters making selecting a layer SUPER ANNOYING. I've seen other people with this issue, but no solution yet that I can find...I'm using Photoshop CC on a brand new Mac Book Pro Retina, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8 GB memory and running OS X Yosemite 10.10. Photoshop and OS are up to date. Please help! This issue is driving me insane and making me unnecessarily stress out at work...

I'm still completely lost. Apple was of no help. My friend who has an iMac running Yosemite 10.10 and PS CC and said he couldn't replicate the issue on his monitor. So I have no idea what it could be, it's a brand new computer!
I usually use 2-3 monitors at once, and I'm not exactly sure why I didn't try this before, but the mouse doesn't do this behavior if the layers panel and Photoshop are on the same monitor. For example if I have photoshop running on my Cintiq tablet and the layer panel is on a different monitor I will get that jitter. If they're on the same screen I don't get the jitter. I've tried this on all screens to rule out the Cintiq being a cause. I've also tried a different brand new mouse as well as a mouse smoothing program to rule out the mouse as the cause. I don't know if that at all means anything to you?

Mighty mouse international

i have a macbook purchased in the US. i want to buy a wireless mighty mouse tomorrow in london.
anyone know if:
1) compatibility will be seamless? i'm assuming it should be.
2) since so many people are having problems, if i need to return/exchange the mouse, can i do it in the US?
i've been looking at other bluetooth mice in these forums and it sounds like all of them have mixed reviews.
thanks in advance!

Hello cb:
There should be no incompatibility issues. To be absolutely sure, ask whomever you purchase the mouse from and be sure you can return it if you encounter a problem.

Design Fault: Bluetooth mouse metal internal spring/latch

I bought 2 of original BT mouse when it first came out. Recently within a month of each other the metal spring/latch falls out when you open the mouse to change batteries. I can't work out if it should be glued back in or what. Carefully re assembling the mouse to close it usually results in the entire mouse being locked shut so that I have to open it by prying it open with a knife.
