JFileChooser:Mouse click sometimes not recognized

I have an application that uses JFileChooser. It works most of the time, but sometime, when I click on the arrow next to the "Look in" option for going up in the directory structure, it seems it doesn't do anything. When I move the filechooser dialog window, or click on the scroll bar on the side, it changes the "Look in" properly. Its a nuisance as user doesnt know what's going on. I will appreciate any idea.
I am using jdk 1.2 and swing 1.1.
Thanks!

I'm not clear whether it's a button you are clicking on, or an item in a list. I've not had problems with buttons before, but lists can be problematic.
Either way, it may be helpful to update your JDK. I've noticed that versions prior to 1.4 seemed to have problems recognising double clicks (if the mouse pointer moves in the slightest between clicks, then it's two SEPARATE clicks), which certainly made JFileChooser a bit of an arse for me.
JDK 1.4 does have a reworked file-chooser and apparently (to me) better click-detection, so that will probably solve your problem.

How can i open a link in new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the new window

I want to open a new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the newly opened window. The focus should remain on the window from where i have opened the link.

You can do that with tabs, but not with windows AFAIK.

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

Magic Mouse "click" is not responding but cursor is tracking. Any thoughts?

First check your settings. If all is as it should be, reset the PRAM.

Lots of lags in basic finder operations - mouse events are not recognized

Hi there,
since 10.6.7 I'm experiencing lots of problems with my Mac mini 2,4Ghz Intel core duo / 4 GB RAM / 140GB free disc space. I recently updated to Lion which I hoped would fix some of this problems - turned out to be a dream. Some Time/Apps later all the problems show up again. I already searched the web for solutions and did the following:
resetting PRAM, booting in safe mode, deleting startup items, complete new system installation, and apps, updating software, killing dashbord (read it somewhere), adjusting mouse preferences, checking with hardware test, removing RAM bars to check if there is a problem, memtest, used "lion cache cleaner" for optimizing RAM, deleting caches, switching vom 64 to 32 bit and vice versa, etc. ... no effect!
Activity monitor does not show any unusual peaks (as far as I can tell) in performance (cpu, ram, etc.)
1) Basic finder operations often lag. E.g. opening an external USB drive, opening internal drive, opening upper registers(menues), etc. Sometimes up to 5 seconds delay, which can be really annoying during work. What is more, this happens in almost all Apps when I try to access the file system.
2) iTunes videos from the store lag quite heavy. It's almost impossible to watch a movie due to the hangups
3) Mouse clicks/moves sometimes/often are not (or very late) recognized by finder/apps. (e.g. CS5 Photoshop,when triing to move a layer I often need to use the arrow keys of the keyboard to have an effect, mouse is just ignored & simple movement of files will only happen after I tried it 2-3 times)
4) Entering text in form fields, like logins, community posts, ... is a real pain since it often takes some time until the text shows up. It's like typing and 5 seconds later you can see the machine work by putting letter after letter on the screen.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
Could it be a hardware issue? Grafic-card?
Any solutions?
Would be nice hearing from you.
Pero

Found something... read, that it could be a mouse-usb problem when connected to the keyboard... so what I did was connecting the mouse directly to the mac... and ahhh first improvement... mouse-experienceis much better now... and I think, for what I can tell at this moment, finder operations seem better too.
Never would have guessed that. I take my mini to the office every day where I have a second set of mouse and keyboard... had the same probs there... so probably it is a mac-usb-keyboard with attached mouse - problem.

Mouse clicks do not register

Over the past few weeks for no apparent reason mouse clicks will stop working on my Mac Pro. Generally speaking, clicking will work in the dock, system menu bar and sometimes a click on a background window of another application will bring to to the front. At other times clicking anywhere has zero effect.
The mouse moves around the screen fine otherwise. I generally use an Apple wireless trackpad but once this problem occurs it doesn't matter what input device I use - a wired mouse, my wireless Wacom tablet, etc. - the problem remains. I can tab around within an application, fill in text fields or open files using the keyboard. But even using screen share and taking control of the desktop from my laptop the problem remains: clicking of any kind does not work. So it's not the input devices or their connections.
On occasion I will hit command-option escape and force quit all applications and restart the finder and that will work. Other times not.The system remains responsive - no spinning beachballs etc. In the end I'm forced to restart the computer and everything returns to normal.
Whats-a-going-on? Any ideas?

Sorry, missed that...
My point remains the same: if your hard-wired devices are known good, then you have a intermittent problem that resides either in the OS or in hardware. The nexts step are along the lines of reseating all the boards, running hardware tests, etc. to try to determine if it's hardware or software before re-installing the operating system.
The other option is to take it to an Apple qualified service guy. If you do that, I'd look for a Mac Pro specialist (someone who works on pro video or audio systems, etc) since most Apple Stores are mostly for iPads, not serious hardware.
Good luck

Wireless mouse and keyboard not recognized

I know that I have had this issue before, but can't remember what the solution is (old age?) My iMac G5 PPC has a wireless mouse and keyboard (the old apple white one). The iMac came with these as an option but WITHOUT the bluetooth card inside. (I still don't know how this works, but it does). Anyway, the mouse and keyboard were not recognized when I tried to get on today. The batteries are good. If I go to system prefs (using an even older wired mouse) there is no bluetooth option (since no card is present). I don't know how to get the computer to try to recognize both. Any help is definitely appreciated.

HI David,
If the iMac didn't come with Bluetooth software/hardware, then are you using a USB Bluetooth dongle?
And open System Profile (Applications/Utilities)
Select Bluetooth on the left under Hardware. You may need to click the gray disclosure triangle so it faces down. What does it say on the right?
If the Bluetooth icon is in your Status Menu Bar (top right in your screen). Click the icon and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then click: Open Bluetooth Preferences and try re-pairing the mouse and keyboard.

MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
Hardware
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Issue description
The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
Click sounds
I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
Tried fixes
- Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
- Disabed XMP -> problem persists
- Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
- Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
- Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
- Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
Conclusions so far
The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
Who can shed some light on this issue?

Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
UPDATE
I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

IPOD 40 gb click wheel not recognized

I put in my ipod n da computer says it not recognized i tried resetting but i cant restore because it says ipod not connected im using a usb cable and i dunno wut to do ne help would be appreciated

I've got the same problem mate. The clickwheel started to ge dead in places like around skip forward track area, (which was annoying to say the least.) But the other day it completely died, now it tries to start up showing the apple logo, then you can hear inside the hardrive spin up then a loud click then it tries this again about 5 times before showing the support website.
Ive probably had the ipod for about 2 years.
Annyoing since its a 40gb ipod and i've barely filled up 13gb. I might take it into see what the shop says but i sort of know its gonna be not worth repairing. Plus the video ipods are looking really good.

Aluminum Keyboard Sometimes Not Recognized By USB Port

I have an Aluminum wired keyboard that occasionally isn't detected by my Macbook in both Windows XP (Boot Camp) and Leopard. This is an exchanged one because the first one also behaved this way. I'm not using the extension cable. I have a USB wireless mouse plugged into one of the keyboard's USB ports and a flash drive. When the keyboard isn't detected, the mouse doesn't work (no lights on the receiver, can't connect), but the flash drive gets recognized. I've also had the keyboard not be detected without the flash drive so I know that it isn't the issue.
When it isn't detected I have to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard multiple times until it randomly starts working. Once it works, it doesn't stop working, though after going to sleep it occasionally disconnects itself on startup. All the function keys work properly and there's no updates available...is there anything I can do about this?

I've seen the very same problem. In my case I have a wired Mighty Mouse attached to one of the USB ports on the aluminum keyboard. Every time I plug it in -- not recognized first time. Second time -- success. Highly annoying.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for the problem.

External hard drive clicking and not recognized by mac will DiskWarrior work?

First of all apologizes if I've posted in the wrong community I couldn't find one that really fit my particular query.
I'll give a quick rundown of what happened and see if anyone can help or suggest a course of action. My Seagate External HDD model SRD0SP0 was mounted to my 2013 MacBook Air when it started to make a loud noise freezing the computer and requiring me to force shutdown the entire system. I immediately rebooted the computer and it started up again fine but when I tried plugging in the drive to the USB it would only spin and beep at regular intervals and then go quite. The drive did not mount to the desktop but I could see it in DiskUtility although the 'verify' and 'repair' options were greyed out. I tried to connect to a PC but it would not recognize the drive either. I left the drive alone for a few months and now when I plug it in it starts to fire up with the whirl sound but that is quickly followed by 5 faint ticks followed by a louder click. It almost sounds like something is dragging and the click is it coming to an end before starting up again. (I have a .m4a recording of the this but I don't see an option to upload) This goes on for about 20 seconds and then a window pops up saying something along the lines of 'this disk is not recognized by this computer' and the options to 'initialize' 'ignore' or 'eject'. I have only ever clicked eject. As before the drive is visible in DiskUtility but the options are greyed out.
I contacted a data recovery agency and their response was:
I would recommend to remove bare drive from the External casing and connect it to a computer directly or via another USB enclosure. If the drive is internally fine you should be able to see and copy the files. If you still get the same symptoms then your clicking hard drive most likely has internal problem with read/write heads and needs head assembly swapped from a donor. It's a very serious problem and recovery procedure in this case requires a lot of experience, use of class 100 clean room and specialized equipment.
If stored files are not particularly important you should replace the hard drive. If you need data from the drive we could recover it for $950 USD.
At this time I am not comfortable taking my drive apart and I can not afford close to 1k in repair costs. From my research on this forum I have seem multiple suggestions to try DiskWarrior but I am not sure that it will work with the problems that I am describing. Before I spend the money has anyone had a similar problem and had success recovering their data via DiskWarrior? Or do I have to resort to the data recovery agency or the freezer technique?

If the drive is making clicking sounds then it will probably fail. That's evidence of a mechanical issue. DW isn''t going to fix that nor will Disk Utility. Only replacing it with a new drive will fix it. While you can you should make a backup.

My Blu Ray drive in the lower bay is sometimes not recognized since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I have a Mac Pro (2.6 GHz Quad Core Xeon, 6 Gb RAM) that I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. In the top optical drive bay I have the Apple super drive that came with the machine. In the lower bay I added a Pioneer Blu Ray burner. Since upgrading to 10.8, sometimes the Blu Ray drive is not recognized. I discovered this morning that a restart doesn't solve the problem...I have to completely shut down, then restart, and then the drive will appear.

You paid for a license to use Mountain Lion & that license is forever tied to YOUR Apple ID. You cannot distribute Mountain Lion in any way shape or form. If you were to sell your computer, with Mountain Lion installed, as I've already provided, the new owner will never be able to update or restore OS X, should the need arise. You will have sold the new owner a huge bag of hurt.
Good luck.

Middle click sometimes not working

Sometimes, the middle click does not work. It has just started happening. I open up xev and spam middle click and it shows up for a while, and then stops showing up. It keeps on repeating this pattern.

When-Mouse-Click does not fire if When-new-item-instance exists

We are using Forms 6i Patch 12.
The When-Mouse-Click trigger (at block level) is not getting fired when a When-new-item-instance trigger exists on a given item on which mouse is clicked.
We need to synchronize keyboard and mouse events such that if the validation on certain key items fails, the cursor should go to one of the specified items as per the validation rules.
The validation rules are different on leaving from different items. Complex validation rules require cursor to go to a different item than the current item on which the validation fires.
Since go_item cannot be used in when-validate-item, we are using a combination of key-next-item and when-mouse-click.
But, this strategy seems to fail if mouse is clicked over an item having a when-new-item-instance trigger.
Also, we need the When-mouse-click trigger to fire before When-new-item-instance.
Any pointers to solving the firing of trigger or strategy will be appreciated!
Regards,
Sanjiv

This solution we have tried and it works also.
However, we end up in another problem in the form. For overall picture, please see my latest post for "Forms Valid status" at Forms Valid status

Left mouse click does not work

I have a mid-2010 Mac Book Pro 15", 8GB, Samsung 840 500GB SSD, w/ Mountain Lion.
About four to six months ago I started having issues where the left mouse button would stop working when I left the computer on unattended (but not asleep) for extended periods of time.
I have both a bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse connected most of the time, but when the issue occurs the button issue extends to both the external mouse and the on-system touch pad.
The issue started at about the same time that I took my system in to be repaired after the harddisk started failing. The system has since had the OS reloaded (twice) and the replacement harddisk has since been replaced with and SSD, so I if the original service is to blame, it is a peripheral issue (damage, firmware update, etc).
Here is where it gets really crazy... rebooting does NOT fix the issue. Shutting down and restarting does NOT fix the issue. Hard power off (holding the power until it hard-off's the system) then restarting DOES fix the issue.
The problem is reproducible, and since I've now demoted this laptop to being my television PC, it gets left on idle all the time (and hense the problem occurs all the time).
To the best of my knowledge I have all the latest patches and firmware loaded.
I suspect this is a low level firmware/hardware bug, but have no way to confirm and have had no luck with finding answers here or via the store.
Any assistance is appreciated!!

I can left mouse click any other program successfully. I can only left mouse click Firefox one time and then it refuses to work. I set the default mouse structure and pressed apply. It does me no good. There must be another cause for no other program has problems except for Firefox.
