Issue: Beeping on mouse-click

After a few minutes, whenever I click the mouse the computer
beeps. Dreamweaver MX 2004.
I've tried rebuilding the site cache and find that I need to
restart DW whenever this happens. I'm usually using CSS and
templates for relatively simple sites.
Has anyone experienced this? Suggested fixes?
Thanks.

This usually means that you have a modal window open -
perhaps behind the
foreground page. Have you tried minimizing things or
Alt-tabbing to find
it?

Strange issue with left mouse clicking freezing other inputs on the Mac

I'm having a strange issue with my game. I'm using Flash CS6 and a Mac.
I've got a character that I move around the screen with keys, and you can click the left mouse button to make him throw something. The weird issue is when I click the left mouse button a lot, it seems to stop any other inputs from coming in, so for example, if I hold the right arrow key down while I'm doing a left clicking, and then let go of the right arrow key, the character will keep on moving right for a few seconds, until it finally get's the key_up event and stops.
Even not using any mouse event handlers, so the mouse is doing nothing in the game still causes the key inputs to be delayed just by left clicking, any ideas?
I've just tested the .swf on a PC and there was no problem, the mouse clicking was not causing any issues, so it's something peculiar to the Mac.

Hi,
This could be an issue if you were using Safari 5.1+ in 64bit mode. This should go away if you run Safari 5.1+ in 32 bit mode. You can change this by
1. Go to /Applications
2. Find Safari->RightClick->Get Info->Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' check box.
3. Relaunch Safari 5.1 again.
Thanks!

Firefox missing mouse clicks

I have updated both my desktop (Win7) and my laptop (WinXP) to Firefox 9.0.1 (from 8.0) and both are suffering from this issue.
about 99% of my left mouse clicks seem to get ignored, but middle and right are both perfectly find. Left button operates correctly in all other programs.
The mouse works correctly in the taskbar/menus/tab bar/scroll bar, but stops as soon as I am inside the page display area.
Sometimes if I click continuously for 10 seconds I get an ok click, or sometimes I have to use a different program for a minute and then come back, then I can get 1 or 2 clicks before it stops working.
Currently navigating using tab, and shift+tab.
This is very very annoying, has anyone else noticed this after update? or have any ideas?

My current issue is that if the simulator is frozen (system time is cycling within a 100ms window) mouse clicks on buttons are getting lost.OK that's an entirely different kettle of fish. Firing an action does require that the mouseReleased be later than the mousePressed, and that both be over the button.
Consider ths scenarion in any normal application that doesn't interfere with the system time. The user presses the mouse over some other component, drags over to the button and releases it. Next, the user presses the mouse over the button, drags off the button and then releases it. This isn't supposed to trigger the button's ActionListener#actionPerformed.
With the system time looping, how does the runtime know that this isn't the case?
I can see the button border change when I move the mouse over the button,that's rollover, triggered from mouseEntered. timing is not an issue.
but the mouse click is lost (button does not get depressed).See above.
Sometimes it works fine for a few mouse clicks and other times several mouse clicks will be lost in a row.See above.
It seems random.In a way, it is.
This seems to be more prevalent with buttons than capturing a mouse click on a panel where I do 2D drawing. Not sure why.Could be just human susceptibility to guesswork, or may actually have something to do with the occasional additional processor cycles involved in the custom painting. Since you haven't described the frequency of repainting nor its complexity, that guess is my susceptibility to guesswork ;)
When I put the simulator into Run mode, it works perfectly, never missing a click.Of course it will.
Anyone out there have any insights into what might be going on under the hood inside Java/Swing with mouse events and the system clock?See above.

Mouse click point is not accurate

Has anyone ever had an issue with the mouse click coordinates not being accurate? For example, when I click on my canvas with the Rectangular Selection Tool, the point being clicked is actually 10 pixels below where the mouse is pointing! It causes much unnecessary headache...
Thanks for reading!

How about giving some relevant information (see link)?

If you work on CS4 you could rotate through the Screen Modes (hit F three times) to correct the issue, which occurs when opening or creating a file in Full Screen Mode.

Mouse clicking issues

For the last 2 weeks or so I all of a sudden have mouse clicking issues on a 2009 iMac. The mouse (I have tried 3 different ones from apple and Logitech) seem to be able to open files etc. on a click. I have to click repeatedly to get it done. When I run the disc utility it mostly goes away. Now, I run the disc repair every morning to make it go away. Annoying. I have seen other people having similar issues - it sounds like a OS issue????

This same scenario has happened to me sporadically over the past few months and seems to be increasing. I have the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks. Got it 3 years ago for use with my G4 PowerBook (1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, OS 10.4.8). First I thought it was the batteries, but then realized that if I'd just wait a few minutes the problem would usually go away. Nothing new electrical on my desk that would cause it. Gets really annoying. The mouse becomes sluggish and the clicks are non responsive (a right click will open a sub-menu window, but then no other clicks work. Trying to move the mouse around on the screen gives spotty results - stops and starts - as if I'm moving it on a reflective surface. After multiple clicks the window goes away. I can disconnect the USB transmitter and have complete control with the mousepad.
Sometimes the problem won't occur all day long. Other times it comes and goes multiple times during an hour. A restart will usually get it out of that overly annoying loop.
I bought a new Logitech Mouse a few days ago, thinking mine was wearing out, but the same thing happened within minutes.
I can only think there's some conflict with an OSX update. VERY frustrating. I don't want to go back to a wired mouse.
So I, too, am eager for a solution.
Thanks,
-Scott

CTO Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive Issues (beeps, clicks, freeze, hang)

The other threads on this issue have gotten completely out of hand with most new posters not bothering to read the older posts. So we still get "It's the optical drive" and "It's a problem with all 7200 RPM drives" or "It's all MacBooks that have the problem." Those posts aren't helping any of us with the specific issue noted in this subject fix our problem and gather helpful information. This thread is only for those experiencing issues with the CTO Seagate Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive. If you don't have that drive and are having problems with your new MacBook Pro, please start a new topic or look for an existing one that matches your issue.
_CTO Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200 RPM Problems_:
1. *The drive beeps intermittently*. Unusual sound and not typical of any other hard drive I've ever used in a MacBook Pro or PowerBook.
2. *The drive clicks/clacks quite loudly*. This is much louder than typical drive behavior.
3. Most importantly, *the drive freezes or hangs* in conjunction with the other sounds. It causes games to freeze for a second. It causes HD video to hang momentarily. It brings whatever task you're doing to a complete stop for a second or so, several times per hour.
4. These issues all occur while the MacBook Pro is sitting on a desk, untouched and unmoving. It's not related to any specific user input or action.
Troubleshooting
1. SMS: The built in SMS may conflict with the G-Force technology in the Seagate drive. While it's odd that Apple chose to use the drives with G-Force, disabling SMS has not fixed the issue.
2. *OS X*: It's been suggested this is a problem with OS X and its power management. However, users have reported the problems continue when booted into Boot Camp. This would seem to eliminate OS X as a factor.
3. *Normal Behavior*: Several users have said this is normal behavior for 7200 RPM drives. Apple themselves have reportedly told this to users calling for a fix. I can only say I've used 7200 RPM drives in my MacBooks exclusively since they were available and I've never had this issue with any of them. This is not normal behavior, especially the freeze/hang associated with the beeps and clicks.
4. *Change Energy Saver Settings*: Set Energy Saver so the drives won't sleep. This has not fixed the issue for me. I always set the drives not to sleep as a matter of practice (necessary for HD video & Aperture work) and the issue remains.
5. *Problem with all MacBooks regardless of drive*: This is total b.s. We've got several MBPs here at my company and none of them have the issue.
_One Solution_
In May, I purchased a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420AS 500GB 7200 RPM from NewEgg.com. Note that this is a non G-Force model of the same CTO drive. I had been using it in an external FW enclosure. I decided to swap the drives. *With the NewEgg 500/7200 drive in my 2009 MBP (3.06GHz), all of the issues are gone. The drive doesn't beep, doesn't click, and never, ever hangs or freezes.* It's whisper quite and very, very fast. I literally can't hear it unless I put my ear on the case.
The CTO drive, now housed in a FW800 external enclosure, continues to have the same problems. It no longer beeps, but clicks and clacks loudly, and still hangs and freezes. This would seem to entirely isolate the drive as the problem and remove the MacBook Pro from the equation.
Some posters in the other thread claim that Apple engineering has reviewed the problem, witnessed the beeps, clicks, and freezes, and had labeled them "normal behavior." If true, this is unacceptable. It is impossible to do any professional work, or even play a game for that matter, with a drive that constantly hangs or freezes. We have to stay diligent in pursuing a fix. Be polite, be friendly, but be persistent.
Message was edited by: KBeat Fixed typo, added one more troubleshooting step.

My revision is 0006APM2 also. I would like to know this info as well especially since some posters are not having this problem.
That said - I think there is a business strategy behind all this. Apple is saying there is no problem so that they don't have to recall ALL drives in whatever spec, revision, etc., since that is an extremely expensive resolution. Instead, I think they will quietly fix it in an update and all of a sudden you will notice your drive isn't clicking and hesitating. Perhaps if there are drives out there that can't be corrected in this manner, they will issue a recall/replacement. Being in the software business, I tend to think it will play out this way. The few hotheads that actually return their machine will pale in comparison to the cost of a recall - especially if the affected batch of drives was large in scope.
I think if everyone sits tight it will get fixed. If not, the drive is only a $100-$150 component of this expensive computer and it can be user replaced. I do however strongly encourage anyone with this problem to report it to Apple regardless of the outcome.

Captivate 8 - Mouse Click/Audio Narration Issue

I receorded my software simulation, then added recorded narration to each slide afterward. When I go to preview my course, each time the mouse click happens, the audio narration volume is decreased slighly before, during, and slightly after the mouse click. I wish I could say it was by a neglible amount, but on certain slides it nearly "covers" my narration completely. I can't seem to find anything in the Adobe Captivate forums about this specifically, which is surprising! So that leads me to believe there is a setting somewhere. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi there
The fact you don't see references to this in the forums is indicative of the fact that (at least for me) this is the first such report I've seen of this specific behavior. It could be that it's a bug. Following that, I'd strongly urge you to file a bug report on it using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
The behavior you are describing is consistent with what I might expect of the Background Audio and Slide narration.
If you aren't using Background Audio, perhaps try clicking Audio > Import to > Background so you get the dialog. Then configure the dialog so you clear the option for reducing the volume.
Once you have done this and clicked Save, click Audio > Remove > Background and see if that fixes anything. If not...
Try clearing the preferences and publish again,
My crystal ball is on the fritz and my psychic skills are nearly non-existent, so I can't tell whether you are using the Mac or the PC version. But if it's the PC version, here is how you clear the preferences.
Close Captivate
Right-click the Shortcut icon and choose Properties
From the Shortcut tab, click the Open File Location button
Windows Explorer should open - From there, locate the Utils folder
Double-click the CleanPreferencesWin.bat file
Restart Captivate and test
Cheers... Rick

Issues with mouse clicks/jumps after using CleanMyMac App.

Since using this app. my hitherto slightly slow responding iMac has required multiple mouse clicks and is less/unresponsive.
Anyone else used this software?
As yet have not approached CleanMy Mac.
I have reinstalled Mountain Lion (download) not clean install.
Any suggestions? Is there a separate app for mouse that I can reload. Im guessing a minor chunk of code was deleted along with rubbish.

Uninstall CleanMyMac and do not reinstall it.
CleanMyMac is one of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing system corruption that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Get rid of it and test your Mac for operation. If it does not perform normally, the possibility that Cleanmymac resulted in system corruption must be considered.
The vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site are the direct result of having used garbage like that. Never install such junk on a Mac.

Issues with "wait until mouse click"

when I put wait until mouse click it doesn't register mouse down or mouse up. Because of that, my game is sloppy and skips some scenes if I accidentally hold down my mouse for more than a split-second click. Is there any way to manipulate the wait for mouse click behavior so it works only when the mouse button is released?

Hmm, I wonder if he figured it out already, since he didn't even answer your question. He seems to be talking about the built-in "Wait for Mouse Click or Key Press" behavior in the behavior library. Sometimes those behaviors can become overly complicated for the simplest of things. I recommend you just go ahead and roll your own frame script, as EtchK was implying. It's pretty easy, you just need two short handlers:
on exitFrame
go to the frame
end
on mouseUp
-- do whatever
end

Mouse clicks blocked improperly when stage resizes

Hi everyone,
Been working on this for a while with no success. would really appreciate your help.
We have the following issue: 1 main flex application is loading another flex application swf using a swfloader placing the child app in the same security domain, but in separate application domains from the parent. There is an '...allowDomain(*)' between the apps and the stage scaling is set to no scaling.
The problem is that when the stage is resized (window size increases or it goes to fullscreen) the child app 'grows' a large invisible area that blocks mouse clicks from reaching the parent app. This area far exceeds the child app's width & height and can be seen only when doing 'right-click' --> 'show redraw regions'. When scaling the window slowly back to the original stage size that the flash player started out with, those areas grow smaller and eventually disappear. If i load the child app when the main app stage size (window size) is already very big (or in fullscreen), this issue does NOT appear.
Thanks in advance,
Uri

Sounds like a bug. If you have a simple test case, please file a bug.

Mouse clicks won't work on the browser - any suggestions?

Following an upgrade of Firefox last year, I can't get the mouse clicks to work on the browser. Doesn't matter whether it's left or right buttons. The radio buttons and links get highlighted when you hover the mouse over the links or the buttons but they won't work when clicked. They work on other browsers (Explorer and Chrome) but no longer on Firefox. I'm using it on a Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 7

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Mouse clicks retina

Since upgrading to the latest 10.8.2 update, left mouse clicks via the track pad or usb mouse and the mouses position on screen are not recognized. to remedy the issue, I often have to open and close the laptop's display multiple times before the computer recogized position or left clicks. Right clicks are always recognized.
I do many presentations using my machine - this is super frustrating!
In addition, sometimes the mouse click will get stuck in the down position - regardless of mouse device plugged in.
So I unable to release objects that are being drag'n dropped. Browser windows especially.

I'm assuming you have already rebooted the unit at some point and tested. If you have then I would also look at resetting the SMC and testing again. If there is still a problem then I would test in a new user on the Mac and see if the issue ocurrs there also.
If it does then boot to your Recovery Partition and test it there. If none of this makes any difference then you may have to look at reinstalling the OS to see if that makes a change. It sounds HW based right now but it could quite conceivably be SW related as the issue only started after an update.
If you do end up reinstalling the OS then test it right away in 10.8 and make sure everything is fine. If it is then you could go online and manually download 10.8.1 and make sure it's fine there also. If it is again then I would possible avoid 10.8.2 as it would appear at that point that it was the cause of the issue.
If you do all of the above and even after the reinstall there is a problem then you would need to try erasing the HD and reinstalling. If after that there is still an issue then it is a HW problem and you will need to take the Mac into an Apple Store or Service Provider to get it serviced.

Mouse 'clicks' itself! Help!

My Macbook's "mouse" clicks itself!
Sometimes when I'm typing, my Macbook's "mouse" will click itself and put the cursor wherever the mouse happens to be at the time. If it is behind it, it highlights everything I have already typed, and when I type the next letter, it all gets deleted. This is getting ridiculous. Help?
It is NOT set to "tap to click," it just sometimes randomly clicks itself.
I'm not the only one with this issue (someone over on Yahoo forums has the same).
Help?

Hi loveistheonlyway and welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds very much like you have a hardware issue with your MacBook. If it is still under warranty or if you purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan, contact Apple (800-275-2273) and see about getting a repair set up. Alternatively you can carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store for the repair. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar> first as otherwise you may spend a long time waiting to talk to a Mac Genius.
You can do the same things if you are out of warranty, but you may have to pay for the repair.
Best of luck.

Mouse clicks don't work

I have set up a menu with auto action buttons and for some reason mouse clicks don't work. I can click multiple times on a button without anything happening. However, navigating with arrows on the keyboard works fine.
Is there anyway I can enable my mouse to work.

Hi,
Are you testing your DVD in DVDSP simulator? If som try building the disc in your hard drive and test runing the VIDEO_TS folder with DVD player to check if the issue is there too.

Mouse clicks not working on published air app, works fine when debugging/testing

So I have an issue where when debugging my Air application, it runs fine and mouse clicks work and everything. When I publish the application and install it, it plays fine but clicking does nothing.
We have an older version which is working when we publish it and we're trying to add things in one step at a time, but I figured I'd see if anyone else has had this issue. A bit frustrating.
Thanks!

FIXED!!!!
We're using Dropbox to share files and it turns out that two people having project open at same time is a bad idea when doing final publish! It creates conflict files and effects the final package or something of that nature.
Glad we got that one figured out!
