Left hand user

Hi
I'm using a T410 and I'm using left handed mouse configuration. I've installed MS wireless laser mouse 5000: it's working fine, touch pad buttons works fine too, that is - the buttons are configured for a left hand use. The problem is with the buttons of the track point: they are configured for a right hand you only, and i don't know how the fx it.
Please advice
thanks

Restart of the eMac cleared it up. Was having problems with the two Airport Extremes working correctly. That was an amperage problem with my circuit protector - a whole nother story!

Feature request: Add left-handed users support for Show Pointer

Show Pointer is a very useful tool for precise movements and operations on the touch display.
However, the way it currently works is optimized for right-handed people (as the button is on the left side and you maneuver with the right hand.
As there are very many left-handed people among creative individuals, I'm kindly asking to add left-hand support to Show Pointer, which would effectively mirror the user interface of the tool (button on the right side).
This could be configured in the Photoshop Touch setting panel.
I would really appreciate someone from Adobe reading this and adding this to the product backlog. Thanks.

If I'm ever asked to give input, I'll be sure to +1 for you.

Irratic magic mouse behavior: Left handed user

Hello,
I have a magic mouse that I use on the left-hand side of my MacBook Pro and experience irratic mouse behavior and unexpected jumpiness - i.e. while working on a PowerPoint presentation, the screen jump to a different slide even when I'm not touching the mouse. The screen often jumps on its own even if I'm not typing or using the magic mouse. I've tried several fixes, including:
Setting up my preferences to Ignore trackpad when mouse is present
Setting up my preferences to Scrolling without intertia
Tryinf a couple of apps (Mountain Tweeks and MagicPrefs)
I'm wondering if my continued issues have to do with the fact that I'm using the mouse on the same side that I plug in my computer power cord and speakers.
I've search extensively for a solution to this issue and have been unable to solve it. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi shelleyfromely,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
If the "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" option is not enabled in the Bluetooth System Preferences, the Bluetooth icon will not display in the menu bar. Enable this option in System Preferences, then check the status of the Bluetooth icon in the upper right menu bar. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear in the menu bar, restart your computer.
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mousefrom the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Where do you switch phone for left handed users

Want to set up phone for a lefty so items are listed on the right side of the screen not the left.

I don't think you can. I've read a lot of reports from upset lefties in relation to the way they use their iPhone. I think it's an oversight in design... a big one really.
I would love to be wrong though! Maybe someone else knows?

Apple Watch does it make provisions for left-handers? either a mirror image version, or the ability to rotate the display 180º allowing it to be worn on the right wrist and controlled with the left hand?

Does the apple Watch accommodate left-handed people? is there a mirror image option, or can the display be rotated 180º, allowing the watch to be worn on the right wrist, and manipulated with the left hand? Just wondering if you have thought about that?
Thanks,
Rick
PS: none of the "communities " accessible to me seemed appropriate for this question, so I am posting here, hoping someone will forward it on to the proper place in Apple.

There's a option when setting up the watch to set it up for left handed users. That and the easily user revisable straps will accommodate lefties.

Will there be a left handed version of the Apple Watch?

In the hopes of being accessible to all people, will Apple consider making a version where the crown will be on the left side of the watch for the left handed users?

Although I love the design of the new Watch, I was really disappointing watching a 10min video with only right handed people using it. I hear that Apple explained that is a way to flip the screen though the "crown" will be at the bottom rather than the top. Rather poor solution in my opinion.
Apple has the best designers and nobody has thought about left handed people, that counts as 15% of the population. A specific and unique Watch for left handed would be the real revolution here.

Thinkpad L440 - Left-Handed Bluetooth Mouse but Right-Handed Touchpad

I have my bluetooth mouse connected but I want to use it as a left-handed mouse. I can't seem to figure out how to do this without changing the configuration of the touchpad. I want to keep the touchpad right-handed. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Hi Brittneym,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for Touchpad setting on your ThinkPad L440.
Please go to Control panel – Mouse setting and in Buttons menu tick the check box “Switch primary and secondary buttons” this will change the complete setting for left hander users, and after applying those setting go to UltraNav menu and click on “Touch Pad Setting” you will new window touchpad properties in that expand Buttons option on “Left Button Action” set it to Primary Click and on “Right Button Action” set it to Secondary Click apply the settings and click on OK.
You can give a try on the above setting; it worked with USB external mouse but I am not sure with Bluetooth mouse. Check the screen shot from the below link
Dual Touchpad setting
Hope this helps!

Right or Left Handed Clickwheel???

Can the click-wheel be set for right or left handed preferences? I am right handed, but the click wheel on my ipod seems to be set for a left handed user... to scroll down a list I have to rotate the wheel clockwise. That seems completely backwards to me, and is very akward to use. Can anyone help??? Am I the only one with this stupid problem???

"to scroll down a list I have to rotate the wheel clockwise."
That's the way they all are. Seems natural to me. Maybe you'll get used to it - I don't believe there is a way to reverse this.

HT1338 I am a 20 year Mac user. I just downloaded a book for the first time using iTunes. When I go to "Books" in the left hand margin of iTunes and click on the new book I downloaded, nothing happens. It gets hi-lighted, but it doesn't open?

I am a 20 year Mac user. I downloaded a book from iTunes moments ago. in iTunes, under the left hand margin "Books" when I select the book and double click on it, it doesn't open. How do I read this book? It won't give me an option to open with other apps, but isn't there a built in app?

iBooks can not be read on macs, only on iDevices.

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

Trackpad button for left-handed mouse users

Dunno if this has been documented elsewhere.
When PC style mouse is set-up for left handed use and then disconnected, the trackpad button remains useless and can only be used IF secondary button click is active.

Incredible. I experience the same problem as the people above.
When I change the primary button, to use the mouse with my left hand, and disconnect the mouse, the click on the trackpad changes to a secondary-button-click. That's terrible! I can't even change it back without connecting the mouse again!
This wasn't the case in Tiger, I'm sure. Please Apple, fix this problem!
This is a user to user forum.
You can contact Apple from the link bottom right or file a bug report:

I am ambidextrous and when I use the mouse with my left hand I never change the buttons.

Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

My Green iPhone 5c "creaks" in the bottom left hand corner, would this be up to get a replacement? And if so, would I be able to get that replacement without AppleCare?

Recently I have noticed that my green iPhone 5c makes a creaking noise when I press in the bottom left hand corner, or sometimes when I press the home button. I was wondering if this would be up for replacement, since I got this around Christmas of 2013. I do not have AppleCare either, so I was wondering if I would be able to get replacement without it as well.

None of us users here can tell you what Apple will do. Apple will examine your phone and if a hardware defect is determined, your phone will be replaced free under warranty.

Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder? The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos. When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down. It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually. This little app works perfectly!
Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize. I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event. But I can't for the life of me find it! Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up. I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
Help!

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

Greetings all:
I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
W. Keith

Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
Kind regards,
Willam
