Mac Freezes when using mouse scroll wheel (logitech)

Hi there,
I have a logitech MX1000 mouse + the same iMac Alu's at home at work.
In any Finder window if I scroll with the wheel down the file/folder list + open/save dialogs the whole system freezes, sometimes it recovers on its own after a few seconds othertimes (this depends seems to depend on how much I've scrolled) if I change spaces it recovers and catches up with its self.
It happens on both my machines almost every Finder window I scroll in, scrolling works fine in PathFinder, but I still have to use Finder for open and save file dialogs.
Is there a solution?
Or is it Logitech's fault?
Cheers
--Rob

Hello rob:
If that is the only thing that causes a freeze, I would suspect the mouse.

Use mouse scroll wheel to change numeric control

Does anyone know if and how I can use the mouse scroll wheel to change numeric control values?

Another option would be to change the timeout. This would avoid the timeout event every ms when the mouse has not "entered" the contol.

Using mouse scroll wheel

Hi,
I've set up some buttons on my site to act as a scroll bar (here) and perform as follows...
on(press) {
     this.onEnterFrame = function() {
          if(content._y < 95.2) {
               content._y = content._y + 10;
is it possible to use the scroll wheel of my mouse to do the same thing?
I'm using Flash MX, so can only publish up to Flash player 6.
Thanks

I just coppied the syntax from above for my reply. My actual syntax has -138.6 rather than 200.
I've put the syntax into my action script layer on the root level. When I trace the content._y value, it gives me it's initial position, but when I scroll it doesn't appear to do anything.
I've not had access to a windows machine to edit my flash for a while, hence me taking so long to reply.
I've attached what I've done.
Thanks

Mac Freezes When Using Skype and Watching Video

I have a Mac (OS X Ver. 10.6.8 Build 10K549) with 4 GB Memory and 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Processor. My Mac freezes, and requires a hard reset. **Everything** freezes, keyboard and mouse click no longer works. Sound may continue. This happens all the time I use **Skype** and sometimes when I watch **video** online. This happened before when I was using Mavericks. It reached to a point that I could not use my Mac. I basically installed **Snow Leopard** back again. Problem was solved until the last two days. I deleted and re-installed Skype. This did not solve the issue. Unfortunately, I could not find a solution to my problem after a research in these pages. Thanks.

I had the same problem but it seemed to stop after I installed a program called Caffeine that prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. I haven't had a freeze-up as long as I have it enabled.

Why does my airbook mac freeze when using external hard drive

This is a recent development, my MacBook Air freezes when I attach my external CD drive and I have to do a hard restart (hold the power button till it turns off). This never use to happen. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Hi
Can anyone suggest what is happening and how to get around this? In worst case is there a way to move the files outside of imovie that will still allow them to be properly displayed within imovie?
I don't think that it can be done that way - BUT I KNOW that it can be very destructive
most probably end up as un-reparable.
The move of projects and events - works so much better in iMovie'09

Mac freezing when using install DVD Leopard

Hi ALL,
I was rebooting my Mac whit the original install DVD OSX LEOPARD 10.5x
I liked to run repair permissions from it because I think that I have some problems running the system.
BUT, after I reboot and holding down the C-key, select the language, choose from the menu bar "Disc-utilities and select "Repair Permissions" the progress bar started moving.
After a while nothing happens any more ... the mouse is still moving, but can't select anything in the Menu Bar or quit the process.
I hat to shutdown my Mac by pressing the power button.
Can any one tell me why ... it happens, or what should I do ?

Hi D:
From what I have read, permission repair is best run from the internal HD as all the latest OS X updates are applied.
Incidentally, permission repair under OS X 10.5 takes forever. I now run OS X 10.6 and the tims have improved significantly.
In any event, you will get differing opinions, but running permission repair is, IMHO, a waste of time. I admit I do it after software updates, but that is a "hangover" from the old days when permission repair was like a +"magic bullet."+

Mac freezes when using Core Image apps (iMaginator, Lineform-) but-

… not with Apple Core Image apps like iPhoto or Aperture.
The computer freezes and after rebooting and checking the logfile, it says :
Sep 14 20:06:46 PowerMac-G4 kernel[0]: ATIRadeon9700::waitfor_rbspace: Overflowed block waiting for FIFO space. Have 2, need 5. RBBM_STATUS 0x8401c100
I've upgraded my G4 AGP with a Radeon 9800 pro. It seems to be a driver issue or a Core Image bug. After talking with an expert from Strange Dogs, it could be a driver issue concerning especially the G4 AGP and the 9800 pro. Does some one know something about this problem ?
Thank you very much.

Hey, what os version are You using ?
It's possible that it's hard drive but also its possible that is just ram.
Get same software for disk test and check whats the time for accesing data.
Also you might check ram, easest way is to open any file document and just copy any text with cmd+c cmd+v
to the moment the ram would be almoust full then remove all text. if it crashes then it seems that its ram

Mac freezing when using Photoshop or other Adobe programs

Hey guys I'm having some issues with Photoshop and some other Adobe programs (After Effects, Premiere). These programs are on version CS6 and work fine until maybe 10-20 minutes later it freezes the whole computer. I can't move anything, it just freezes. It's only with Adobe programs, that's why I'm here.
Help?

If the whole computer freezes, you're looking at OS, hardware, or low level driver problems.
The most common cause is bad RAM. But we've also seen it caused by bad motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and power supplies.
Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere share very little code.
So what you're saying is that programs that move a lot of memory and use the GPU extensively are causing the machine to freeze.
That still means it could be the RAM, CPU, motherboard, or GPU.

Screen page keeps moving or bouncing up and down slightly when I use my scroll wheel on my mouse, it only happened after updating to 6.0

I just updated to Firefox 6.0 with my windows 7 64bit OS. As soon as it was installed, pages began making quick moves up and down just a half inch or so when I use the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX620 mouse. When I use the scroll wheel, it does scroll, but when I stop scrolling, the page bounces up and down a half inch a few times before the page stops moving.

I found a temporary fix, go into Logitech Setpoint and uncheck the box "Enable Smooth Scrolling" in the pointer and scrolling settings. It will make scrolling slightly less smooth but at least the web pages stop bouncing up and down on their own.

Use of mouse scroll wheel in Forms 6i runtime

Is there any way to make the mouse scroll wheel work in Forms 6i runtime? Does it work in some areas and not in others? Ultimately, the user would like to use the scroll wheel to navigate through rows in a block instead of dragging the scrollbar. We also have data in a particular row and column that has scroll bar. I'm hearing that in some instances it works, don't know if I believe, not sure if it's workstation dependent. Client workstations are generally XP.

I think (can't ckeck at the moment) that an animated gif will only run when deployed on the web (you need the JVM)
As I said, I think this is the case but can't confirm it at the moment.

Lightroom Freezes with Mouse Scroll Wheel

K, bit of an odd one here....
My lightroom appears to work perfectly except when i use the scroll wheel on my mouse, it seems to lock up.
I am using Win7 64bit with Lightroom 3.4.1
When i check my task manager; windows seems to think that lightroom is running perfectly.
I have tried a fresh install of lightroom and also a different mouse but keep getting the same faliure.
Help would be appreciated.

I suggest it is most likely computer/os/driver related and not to do with Lightroom.
Hopefully a Windows person will pick this up.

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
Does it have to do with the disk utility?
I already did the disc repair job

Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

Is it possible to use the scroll wheel of a mouse in list boxes?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the scroll wheel in list boxes? LABview (6i under windows 98) does support the use in diagrams, for instance on case statements, but it does not appear to do much on the front panel apart from scrolling the whole thing up and down (and when pointing on the vertical scroll bar left and right).
Is there a quick and easy way to get the scroll bar to work on list boxes, for instance by calling windows dll's? If so anyone ever done this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Erik van Dijk

Erik,
Yes, it is possible. Anything is possible. LabVIEW is a programming language.
However, the scope and ease of implementation may be beyond the amount of work you want to do. This must be accomplished through Windows API. This means the use of windows dlls and or Active X.
Good luck.
Also, try looking for toolkits. Someone out there supposedly has a toolkit for doing this sort of thing.
