Logitech mouse new problem

- i have a logitech basic 2 button mouse working for years on my g4 desktop
- yesterday the screen would not come back from sleep (computer was still on) so I had to restart using front button
- now the logitech mouse both buttons will only work like control (right) click - (showing info window)
things i tried
- tried to reset logitech prefs
- tossed the prefs (several times) (both root and user folders)
- tried update/reinstall of sotfware
- nothing helps
- another logitech mouse has same problem only on this computer
- login to a different user - NO PROBLEM! mouse is fine
- both keyboard and mouse work fine on another mac
- maybe some OTHER USER related pref should be tossed???
any ideas would be appreciated.

That was the default Apple mouse driver. Since you are using a Logitech, at the moment you have no need for the preference file for it. If at some point in time, you get an Apple mouse, it comes with the software you would need.
You said you already reinstalled the Logitech mouse software and that didn't work... something happened when the computer woke from Sleep. At this point, you might consider an Archive and Install but make sure you have all your important data/images/video and documents backed up first.
Did you Repair Disk Permissions as I suggested above?
And try the Logitech Support page: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support_downloads/&cl=us,en

  • New Problem with my mouse

    I use an eMac running Tiger. After upgrading to the newest version of Tiger, I have an intermittent problem with my mouse. It will suddenly only 'control (right) click'. This happens whether I use an apple single button mouse or a Logitech two button mouse. The only way to regain my 'left click' capability is to restart the computer.
    Is there a driver that I need to install with this new update? I've never had this problem before.
    Thanks!

    In other words:
    Since upgrading my G4 eMac to the latest iteration of Tigger, I have been having a problem with mice. Don't matter if it is the Apple one-button mouse or a Logitech two-button mouse.
    What happens is that I lose my 'left click' capability. That is to say, my mouse will only 'control click'. When having this intermittent problem, if I have the Logitech mouse installed, the left button acts as a 'right click' button. If I have the singlt-button mouse installed, it will only 'control (right) click'. Thus, it becomes hard to properly use the 'puter.
    I have to cuss a bit and then restart the 'puter for things to be temporarily put back on track. So far, nobody knows the answer to the problem. Any Mac geniuses out there?
    Thanks!

  • Having trouble with momentary delays while scrolling and typing, new problem that seems to be getting worse every day. Mouse?

    Having trouble with momentary delays while scrolling and typing.  It's a new problem that seems to be getting worse every day. Mouse? Internet connection? It's driving me nuts!

    Hi
    Did you find a solution ?
    I have the same problem on my iPhone 4

  • I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

    Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

    You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
    Here is a link to drivers:
    Logitech Drivers
    You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • 10.4.9 - Problems after Sleep with Logitech Mouse

    Hi there -
    since installing 10.4.9 I'm having problems with my Logitech Mouse after waking up my iMac G5 from Sleep.
    The mouse will behave erratically, almost as if buttons are continually being pressed. For example, if I click any items in the Menu Bar then it behaves as if I immediately clicked again.
    This weird behavior will continue until I hit the Apple or Command keys on the keyboard, after that all is fine.
    I'm using the LCC drivers 2.1.3 and under 10.4.8 all was fine.
    Anyone else seeing this behavior? Anyone have any tips how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim Tschirner;
    I had something similar happen with my Mighty Mouse after the last security update. One of the switch started misbehaving immediately after the update. I took the mouse into the Apple store and discovered that is was a problem with the mouse and not the update because it did the same thing on their Mac.
    Have you tried the mouse on another system to be sure it is not a problem with the mouse?

  • Logitech mouse scroll not as smooth as trackpad

    Hello all, I have Logitech G700s mouse for my new Macbook pro 15" Retina (2013 Haswell).
    When using my Macbook with the built in trackpad, scrolling is super smoth and very easy on the eyes. But when using the Logitech mouse, scrolling is very (choppy, stuttery, jitter - whatever you want to call it) just not as smooth as the trackpad. Is anybody else having the same problem?
    I tried with and without Logitech drivers. Logitech drivers actually did help a bit, but scrolling still not as smooth as the trackpad. Is this something I will just have to deal with? or is there a fix? is it the mouse problem?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Right Logitech mice aren't the best at scrolling. I have 2 of their mice and both work OK accept for the scroll wheel. They work but they jump around. Moving the wheel forward sometimes makes the system think it is first moving backwards. I find the Wheel scroll detents very weak and any pressure applied to it can cause it to think it has move forwards or backwards without really moving it at all. Just something I have gotten use to over the 2+ years I used them.

  • Logitech Mouse (MX 1000), Logitech Control Centre 2.3.1, Leopard and iTunes

    I have installed Leopard ever since it came out in Late Oct. On my Mac mini (PPC), I use a logitech mouse (MX1000) with the latest software from Logitech. Everything was fine until this morning, whenever I use iTunes if I move my mouse pointer anywhere near the volume slider, it automatically moves the slider to the far left (no volume). So now I cannot control the volume or even skip tracks because as I mentioned, if the mouse pointer is anywhere near the volume slider it moves the slider.
    I am wondering if anyone with a similar setup of mine is experiencing the same problems as me.

    Hi, all!
    Just a "me, too" to add to oceans' comments about SteerMouse.
    I tried then purchased it recently, primarily because it provides what I consider superior mouse tracking speed/acceleration control for my Apple wireless mouse, well beyond the built-in drivers. When I switch to an older Logitech mouse (OpticalMouse11), SteerMouse enables some handy programmable functions I'd never been able to manage before. Thus, worth it to me... [1] 
    Of course, the new Logitech Control Center 2.0.0 is free, so I'd suggest trying both to evaluate what provides acceptable performance.
    Regards,
    Dean
    [1] I'd guess the tried-and-true USB Overdrive would also be excellent for this case; I simply haven't tried recent versions because Bluetooth support hasn't been added yet. But it's been the favorite of many Mac folks for years.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • What is wrong with my 2730p? (Lag, Mouse Device Problems)

    long story short, i have been having tremendous usability issues with my laptop, including mouse problems and tremendous lag (both with and without the hdd), and missing/broken system files which sfc/ scannow fails at fixing.
    the system in question has an L9400 cpu, 4 gigs of ram, vista business and linux mint 11 installed in a dual boot configuration to a toshiba  mk1633gsg mini sata  hdd, and there are also many livecds and liveusbs that are used with this pc.
    an hp technician on another forum has informed me that these issues may be indicative of a failing hdd, and it has been made apparent by many other users on some other forums that toshiba hdds have a pretty bad reputation ... however, after removing the hdd and running the system from a livecd, i have surprisingly encountered many new problems:
    (the following occurs with the hdd removed)
    a linux mint 6 live cd which works perfectly fine for all other tested systems gets stuck while loading the os. it either gets stuck while loading "acpi modules" or " /casper/vmlinuz" or, if it can get past those, the os loading progress bar gets stuck at approximately the same place each time, where it will stay motionless until the system quits on its own and spits out this error: "isolinux: disk error 01, ax = 4200, drive 9f"
    the laptop can boot from a linux mint 11 livecd about 50-60 percent of the time. the other 40-50 percent of the time, it also gets stuck at loading "acpi modules" or " /casper/vmlinuz" BUT if it can get to the screen where there is a progress bar, it tends to load the os completely.
    while running from a linuxmint 11 livecd with the hdd removed, in a very well conditioned room, suddenly:
    with about 15-20 tabs open, after watching a few youtube videos, i lost ctrl-v paste.
    then i lost right click functionality,
    then i lost the ability to alt-tab into other open programs,
    then i lost the ability to click on anything other than what is within the firefox window (i could click on all of the browser buttons, all of the tabs, all of the links but i could not shrink or minimize the window or switch to another program).
    then there was lag when saving a txt file to a portable hdd.
    this is utterly bizzare. with the ram passing 8 hours of memtest86 without errors and with the hdd removed and with only about 20 tabs open, what could be causing these problems?
    furthermore, with the hdd attached:
    in vista and linuxmint 11 (both installed to hdd), the mouse problems are currently:
    the right mouse button becomes unresponsive after about 3-7 tabs are opened in firefox OR after a large video file is opened in vlc,
    the left mouse button will randomly lose functionality after about 10 tabs are opened OR after a large video file is opened in vlc (the lmb will randomly work in some windows and not in others or it becomes completely unresponsive),
    usb mice which used to work perfectly fine are no longer recognized and
    the pen may not work at all upon boot.
    furthermore, there have been 2 longstanding mouse problems that have been with this pc for as long as the current hdd has been in use;
    the left mouse button becomes completely unresponsive in flash games (while still working outside of the game) when a moderate number of targets appear (5 enemies),
    and the pen has the strange tendency to connect the leading points of successive dashes and lines shortly after those lines are drawn (eg: if i draw a lowercase t, with one line going downward and the other going from left to right, the resulting figure will look like a cross for about .25 seconds before it suddenly and inexplicably transforms into a 'number 4' shape with a very thin line connecting the leading edges of the 2 dashes), thus making it completely useless for drawing and handwriting recognition.
    prior to the hdd scans, these mouse problems would occur without fail about 15 seconds (and no sooner, strangely) after the enter password screen appears on vista or immediately upon boot in linuxmint and there would also be incredible lag associated with every mouse click in both vista and linuxmint (including an extra lag of about 7-30 seconds every 3 seconds in vista).
    this is the 2nd hdd to fail in this laptop in 2 years, albeit both hdds had a few years of use.
    the following TESTS have been conducted:
    ran the embedded hp hdd and memory diagnostics , passed with no errors , had no effect
    the hdd passed seatools' long test , and the ram passed 8 hours of memtest86 with both sticks of ram connected. i have not (yet) attempted to run memtest with the reverse orientation or with each stick by itself.
    here is the crystaldisk info report:
    [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/l9ql.png/]l9ql.png[/URL]
    the hdd instafailed both smartudm and the 'toshiba smart' test (from hirens boot cd 15.2 )due to not detecting an ide drive.  
    the toshiba error was: 'NG device defective' ...
    the smartudm error was: 'error, ide drive not found'
    here are the temps accoding to CPUID  HWMonitor 1.23:

    clicking the health tab of the free version of hdtune (to check the SMART status) causes the program to become unresponsive.
    ran windows memory diagnostic, passed with no errors  , had no effect
    ran vista disk check ... had no effect ... found bitmap errors, crosslinked files, orphaned files ... can produce logs if desired
    ran sfc /scannow ... found numerous missing and broken dlls ... more info in this link:
    http://www.pchelpforum.com/xf/threads/hardware-tests-for-malfunctioning-laptop-2730p.154894/#post-99...
    the operating temps are not the highest they've ever been ... between 37-40 degrees celcius
    ac adapter voltage (checked with multimeter) is perfectly stable and within parameters ...
    pc wizard 2012 crashes immediately upon starting and restarts into debug mode ...
    another disk check, following a hard shutoff, has resulted in more stabilized behavior; lag and mouse problems only occur if a certain (small) amount of system resources are used (3 tabs in firefox before problems start occuring).
     is it possible that some other problem is causing the hdds to fail? i'm wondering if there may be a capacitor problem or something ...
    there are some new problems:
    i get this message: 'Non-System disk or disk error' (with the main hdd connected) despite the fact that no external drives are connected. usually, turning the pc off and on again resolves this, but i wonder if this is indicative of a bigger issue.
    also, it is really difficult to boot from usb for some reason; despite attempting many methods, hirens boot cd had to be burned to a cd before i could use it.

  • Logitech mouse thumb button doesn't work with Firefox upgrade

    After upgrading to the latest version of Firefox, my Logitech mouse works, but NOT the thumb button, (which I have configured to be a double click).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • A new problem: cannot drag anymore

    In addition to all recent MacBook Pro problems (keyboard dead and USB not working after wake up) I am suffering for a new problem: I cannot move files with the mouse or trackpad anymore.
    I can select a file, but drag operation does not start. I didn't do anything recently (e.g. installing new stuff) that could lead to such a problem.
    Moreover, even after a restart the issue remains - so I'm definitely stuck.
    Any idea or suggestion?

    Have you guys checked the settings of the keyboard and mouse on the system preferences? sometimes you gotta set them up again in the case of a different profile.
    hope this helps

  • Logitech mouse right click  relaunching Finder

    I have been having a problem with any and all of my Logitech devices on my MacPro. Every once in a while (I hate every once in a while stuff!!) when I right click when I am in Finder or in a regular window on the desktop, the Finder re-launches immediately. This happens as soon as I right click, but only, it seems, when the machine has sat idle for 10 or more minutes. It can happen a few times a day. It resets any open Finder windows to the default home folder. In all programs, the right click works perfectly as it should.
    The Apple mighty mouse doesn't do this at all, but two LX7's, my MX700, and MX1000, along with an old wired Logitech mouse I have all do the same thing. I have tried dumping the logitech prefs, uninstalling the control software and reinstalling it after a restart, using the factory default settings, and it still happens. The only thing I can relate it to is that it seems to have started when I tested out a Logitech keyboard on this machine, but then went back to my Apple board. I have also done a system reinstall since, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions that might help me nail this thing?

    I see what you are getting at now, but the same mouse (and for that matter all the other Logitech mouses) work fine on my laptop and wife's iMac using the same LCC and mac OS (intel and ppc).
    It has to be some level of command conflict between the OS and the LCC, but what and why only on this one computer, and what can be done to remedy it. Yes , if you only use the Mac OS software, there is no problem, but as it is unique to this computer, there is something somewhere that is causing this. The question is "what can I purge/change" to correct this. It could be in the LCC, it could be in the OS.
    Thanks; Rick

  • Mouse navigations problem with Sun Java 1.5.0_*

    Hello gurus,
    We need to move from JInitiator to Sun Java Plugin; according to the Forms10g Client Platform Support (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html) one of the certified version for Forms 10.1.2.0.2 of the the Sun Java Plugin is 1.5.0_06 and Internet Explorer 6.0, we have tested also SJPI 1.5.0_09 and we get the same mouse navigation problem reported in the following Oracle Forum threads.
    Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
    Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
    Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
    Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
    Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Regards,
    Victor.

    You need to use 1.5.0_12 or newer. The client SOD is not up-to-date on this specific point. A lot of navigation problems was fixed in this very release.
    The Management team should change this in the client SOD, wonder why they still refer to 1.5.0_06. For Applications, the first 1.5.0 to be certified was _12.
    Also make sure, that you are using the latest Patch 3 for 10.1.2 (10.1.2.3). This patch also contains fixes for a lot of these wellknown issues.
    Hope this helps,

  • Printing, new problem, tiny size, not cured by any steps identified in support.

    A new problem a few weeks old. When I print from Firefox, the result is a very tiny image printed at the top part of the page. If I change the settings, it chops each page up into 4 pages and prints a quarter on each page. I do not have this problem if I print from IE, so not a printer problem. I have been through every single step in the help topic on printing problems and any step suggested in answer to a forum question. No joy.

    If Firefox is not using the whole sheet of paper, this can be caused by having extracted the wrong paper size settings from Windows when reading the print driver data. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
    Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.
    Any improvement?

  • Logitech mouse causes shaking?

    I have a Logitech® MX™1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. A few days ago, iTunes and Palm Desktop started shaking, as though there were an earthquake. I ran DiskWarrior and rebooted, but it did not help the problem. I tried using my Wacom tablet, but it had the same problem. When I switched to the Apple Mouse, the problem abated.
    Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I have the latest Logitech drivers already.

    I just ran across you post and I've had this problem as well with my Logitech Laster MX1000.
    I love the mouse- cordless and all, but with my Intel MacBook have to wait for Logitech Control Center 2.1.4 (June 2007 maybe?) according to Logitech.
    But I get this problem you describe and others too -- it might have to do with the location / position of the recharger (transmitter) - I had mine close to my router / internet modem-- think maybe there is some interference.
    It gets bad sometimes-- cannot have the menus highlight; the dock freezes-- all cured by just unplugging the Logitech mouse and using the trackpad.
    Perhaps others can comment here?
    Thanks,
    Steve Schulte
