Magic mouse clicking sound

I just purchased a new iMac 5K with the Magic Mouse. Every time I click on the mouse I hear a clicking noise. How do eliminate this? I have an older Magic Mouse and it does not make any sound when I click on it.

It certainly is.. I notice that when clicking the left side, it has one distinct "tick" sound but the left has 2 crunchy/clucking sounds. Hard to explain but it doesn't sound right.. I just want to know from anyone else if this is the norm..
Thx..

Modifying default Project Properties? (Mouse click sound, etc.)

Am I able to configure default properties?
E.g. On every slide of every software demo I create, I have to change the following:
- Slide quality - High
- Highlight Box timing - Rest of slide.
- Mouse click sound - Custom
- Show mouse click - Custom
- etc.
Obviously, this is the most time consuming process and it increases my time investment 20-fold.
Have I overlooked something? Google & searching has been no help...which makes me feel like I'm the only one with the problem...which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong!

If you open the Edit > Preferences dialog without having any project open, then go to Defaults > Object Defaults, you can set up some of the things you want. For example, you can change the default duration of highlight boxes. But this doesn't allow you to configure the mouse or slide settings the way you want for all projects.
I think your best option is just to set up a Captivate template with all the slides done the way you want and use that to initiate each project.

No more mouse click sounds for buttons on Captivate 5

I have been working on a project that uses buttons and click boxes. Previously the mouse click played when the button was selected, but now there is no mouse click sound when selecting the button. When closing the application I see a message that pops up saying "Discovering Unreachable Audio".
I also tried to create a new project with buttons and the mouse click still does not play.
I double checked in the properties for the button and the box for "Disable Click Sound" is NOT checked, so I know that this is not the problem.
I am using Windows XP SP3.
Any advice on how to correct this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same trouble. The mouse click will not play despite the fact it is selected. Some mouse clicks will play so I don't know what the issue is. Also if I change it to a custom mouse click it the sound will play.

Reduce Volume of Mouse Click Sound

Any way to easliy reduce the volumne of the clickk sound from the mouse without recording a new mouse sound?

Easy way...no. What I had to do was edit the actual sound files for the single and double clicks. The files are mp3's and are located in:
Adobe Captivate 5 --> Gallery --> Mouse --> Click Sounds
You can open the mp3's in any simple wave/audio editor, select the waveform, and decrease the volume. I brought mine down about 3 decibels.
However, keep in mind this will decrease the volume for every project you do, not just the one you are working on.
Hope this Helps.

CP - Mouse click sound

Hi All,
I am learning how to use captivate and have created a video, I want the mouse click sound, but I can't get it to work.
Can you give me any pointers please?
Thanks

Hi KeithJohnson
Sure, just double-click the mouse object in either the
Timeline or on your slide. There on the Options tab is an option to
assign the click sound.

How do I globally uncheck the property "mouse click sounds" under the captions section

I am doing software simulation and it produces a large number of slides. I want to remove the mouse click sounds. Is there another way to do that other than
select each and every slide and uncheck the "Mouse Click Sound" checkbox?
Adobe you need to provide that option in preferences!

So I tried it...here are the screen shot. I do have the updated Captivate 7....So you can see they are selected and I used the timeline to bring up the mouse clicks box.
I then unchecked the the 'Mouse Click Box'
I clicked on the slide...and this may be where it goes wrong. I did try to exit by hitting Enter, but that didn't work. I had to click somewhere on the project.
Here you can see that slide 2 has the "Mouse Click Sound" box still checked.
Sweet dreams to all ....it can wait until Monday, unless anyone else who is not sleeping wants to chime in

Magic mouse clicking noise

I bought the new magic mouse and it works well as described. But only one thing I can't tolerate--- the clicking noise. I know most mice have clicking noise but for the brand of apple, I suppose they can do something above average.
Do you know there is a way to diminish the clicking sounds? Why don't they use the technology like trackpad, which there is no sound when clicking and so sensitive. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

I find a relatively easy way to diminish the clicking sounds of magic mouse --- free. Use a soft surface item rather than the mouse pad, for example, like a stack of relatively soft paper (you need a lot paper). If you can find a hand washcloth (fold it into a rectangle shape), the mouse is like added a silencer. And it also move precisely. I suppose the sound is coming out from the base and hope this silly way can help someone has the same feeling as me.
Because this clicking sound drives me crazy, I think I have to find a way to kill this sound before I freak out. I think its a little louder than the old mighty one. Now it's all set. I hope one day maybe another smarter way to achieve it. Or someone can create a mousepad with relatively soft surface.

Magic Mouse click not working

I have a magic mouse, with a MBP and 10.6.1 and the wireless mouse update installed.
The mouse more or less works if "Secondary click" is checked. If I uncheck it, clicking does nothing. The mouse moves and scrolling works, but clicking has no effect.
Also with "Secondary click" checked, if any part of my hand is touching the top surface of the mouse, I get a right-click when I click - makes the grip kind of awkward.
Tried re-installing the software update.
Any ideas? Thx.

Not sure why it worked this time, but I deleted
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
from the User preference folder again, and now the mouse is behaving as normal. I did not touch the .globalpreferences file.
I did clean all the system/user caches (using Cache Out X), and then deleted this file again, but now the behavior seems correct
- with Secondary Click deslected, the surface acts as one big single click button
- with Secondary Click selected, it acts as a two button mouse
- in Secondary Click mode, resting your second finger on the contexual side surface while clicking on the single click side surface does not interfere with the single click as it had before
- in Secondary click mode, you need to lift your finger off the single click side when clicking the contextual button side, or it will not register as a contexual click. I presume this is expected behavior, as it is physically a one-button mouse, and Apple opted for a two-finger click to be interpreted as the more common single click request.
Hope this helps some

Magic mouse click problem.

Hi all,
Couldnt find any solution yet for my problem.
It is always either not click or in click(can see the dragging box).
No problem with connecting & tracking.
I'm using iMac

Hi decavalera,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having an issue with the clicking on your Magic Mouse, please follow the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
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.
Have a great day,
Joe

Magic Mouse Click Pressure

I Just recently bought a Magic Mouse and noticed, I was clicking too hard on the LEFT side of the mouse, So, now I see a little more space on the RIGHT SIDE you know what I mean?, this action could be Broke or damage my Magic Mouse through the years? Now, I´m pressing on the RIGHT SIDE, to avoid lots of Drag an Drops! Any ideas?

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

Mouse click sounds

I searched the topics and was unable to locate the answer.
WHat I am looking for is this:
Is there a way to switch the sound of a NEXT and/or BACK (or
whatever button) from the click to a custom sound?
I know I can go into the GALLERY / MOUSE / CLICKSOUNDS and
copy the sound file I want and then rename it.
That would work, but I would really like to change it on ever
3rd or 4th slide's next or Back buttons.
I have tried changing the audio properties on the button but
double click the button and then picking the AUDIO tab and
assigning a sound....but, what that does is when it gets to the
slide, it plays the sound without picking the button.
Thanks in advanced!
dog!

Hi defcon789
Most of the time a button or click box is programmed to jump
to a specific slide as opposed to continuing. Assuming that
continuing is okay, you could insert an invisible object with the
desired click sound attached. Then clicking the button would result
in the desired click sound. I suppose even if you are jumping to a
different slide this would be possible by inserting a blank slide
preceding the slide where you want to link. Then link to that slide
instead. Then assign the sound to that slide so it plays just
before the desired slide appears.

Magic mouse clicks unresponsive after 10.9.1 upgrade

Hi Everyone, I have just updated my Mac to 10.9.1 this morning and since the update, I am having issues with Apple's Magic Mouse. Everything seems to work fine but clicking is very unresponsive and I now have to click 5 - 6 times before a "left or right" mouse click is actioned.
I am using a Mac Pro
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 6 GB of Ram
Anyone else experienced this issue?
I have used fresh batteries and reconnected the mouse but still have the same issue.
Would appreciate any help.
REgards
Tony

Try the following, after I reinstalled Mavericks (did not help), I stumbled upon this:
System Preferences>Accessibility>Trackpad and Mouse>Trackpad Options>
Uncheck "Enable Dragging" [without Drag lock]
This was checked by default on my Macbook Pro 13" 2011.
Good luck

Magic Mouse Clicking Problems

Hello, I've just noticed that the far right side of my Magic Mouse stopped to trigger a proper click, thus I cant really make right clicks any more, only if I press it down quite strongly. My Magic Mouse is now a few months old and I've actually never experienced any problems before.
I could imagine that dust and dirt accumulated in this small slit that goes around the mouse prevents the click. Is there any way to open the Magic Mouse in order to clean it?

I got exactly the same problem, but the folded paper solution did not work.
¿Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
Regards

Mouse Click Sound

Hello, I am trying to create a simple flash game which
involves shooting. I have scoured the internet for a couple of days
to try to find a way to make a gun sound when the mouse button is
clicked, but to no avail. Could someone please point me in the
right direction. I am using Flash CS3. Thanks for your time,
Dave.

dindelus,
> I have very little 2.0 knowledge and even less 3.0, so I

What you'll need, in any case, is an instance of the Sound
class -- and
I'll show you the AS2 syntax. Presumably, you already have an
instance of
your button symbol (i.e., and instance of the Button class)
on your Stage.
That button will need an instance name so that ActionScript
can pick it out
of the crowd. We're going to assign a function to the
Button.onPress event
of that instance, and that function is going to invoke
Sound.start() on your
sound instance.
As an aside, the following realization may actually help you
in terms of
reading through the ActionScript 2.0 (and 3.0) Language
Reference. Just
about everything in ActionScript may be described as an
object, and objects
are defined by (usually) namesake classes. Classes are
effectively blue
prints for the objects they define, and you'll tend to find
one or more of
the following three categories when you look up a class:
properties
(characteristics of the object), methods (things the object
can do), and
events (things the object can react to).
So to start, here's an instance of the Sound class.
var s:Sound = new Sound();
At this point, that arbitrarily named variable, s, is an
access point
for all the functionality described by the Sound class, which
among other
things, contains an attachSound() method. This allows you to
pull sound
assets from the Library at runtime, so first,
right-click/Command-click on
your asset in the Library, choose Linkage from the context
menu, and give
the asset a unique Linkage identifier. Think of this as a
kind of nickname
ActionScript uses to pull the asset to the Stage. Then use
that Linkage id
as the parameter of your method:
s.attachSound("gunshot");
In two lines, then, we've created an instance of the Sound
class and
associated it with a sound clip. Now for the button event:
myButton.onPress = function():Void {
s.start();
Badda bing, that's it.
Now, you might want to have the sound appear without the
necessity of a
button beneath it -- though you could, certainly, put a large
button over a
large portion of the Stage. If you just want a free-for-all
sense of
make-the-sound-no-matter-where-the-mouse-is-clicked ... that
might go like
this:
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("gunshot");
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onMouseDown = function():Void {
s.start();
Mouse.addListener(listener);
Much of that is the same, as you can see. This time, a
generic Object
instance acts as liaison for the Mouse.onMouseDown event --
which kind of
makes sense, as you can't really have an instance of the
Mouse class (the
Mouse class represents interactions with the mouse). Again, a
function is
assigned to a relevant event -- you'll see this event if you
look up the
Mouse class entry of the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference
-- and the
Mouse class itself is subscribed to this Object (named
listener, by chance)
thanks to its addListener() method.
