Middle-mouse paste function stopped working after last update

I think FireFox was updated last night. Ever since then my middle mouse paste function doesn't work any more.
I haven't installed any addons or changed settings either.
I'm talking about: about:config > middlemouse.paste = true
I've tried toggling it etc. but nothing I can do changes it. Any ideas?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Middle mouse click no longer works after recent update

I noticed after updating about 3 days ago that clicking the scroll wheel no longer acts as middle click on my MX Revolution mouse from logitech anymore. Pressing on the scroll wheel use to act as middle mouse click, now it just switches between scroll modes. I would like to have the former functionality returned as I really like to be able to open links in new tabs and paste with just one click.
Does anyone know how I could get this functionality working again on this mouse? All other button functions work as they did prior to the update that changed my scroll wheel click behavior.
Thanks for any help with this matter and please let me know if any other information is needed to diagnosis this problem.

Does this mouse work with other OS/PC ?
After a simple reboot or pacman -Syu, do you backup to roll back ? Can you mention which packages/files were updated?
Yes the mouse works in windows, but logitech provides a configuration utility for it and so I use that set it up. In linux there is no such utility to configure the mouse. There use to be btnx and that worked great but it's no longer in the repos or AUR so I don't use that anymore. I haven't done pacman -Sc or pacman -Scc in a while so I should still have the packages to roll back, but I'm not sure what package update caused this.

My Logitech K750 numeric keypad stopped working after last update-numbers only

After the last Mountain Lion update, the number on my numeric keypad will not function. They work for my login, but then become inactive. I have tested the system with an Apple keypad, same thing! What happened? Is there a keyboard setting that needs to be reset?

Dianefromblaine,
Thank you. My K750 number pad stopped working on my iMac. The keyboard and number pad 'do' work on a different Mac, so I suspect it is some setting on the iMac. I did a Safe Mode start, reset the SMC, and repaired the disk permissions. The dongle was plugged into an USB Hub. It is now plugged into the iMac USB port. The keyboard has a 90% charge, but still does not work. Then suddenly it started working again, but stopped after about one month.
I found your "Accessibility>Mouse and Trackpad" suggestion and deselected "Enable Mouse Keys". My number pad works again.
Thanks.

Command line option "-save-to-folder" stopped working after last update: Any workaround?

Running FF on Linux, I was using the -save-to-folder option at CLI to write a copy of the webpage to file with JS content rendered. Worked great until the recent update (to v.27.0.1).
Typical format was: firefox url -save-to-folder filename
When things break, the fixes sometimes happen quickly, sometimes not. In the meantime, anyone have a workaround?

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210953&p=12955762#post12955762]?
It will depend if your Linux build was compiled by a third party. Typically if a function like that stops working, uninstalling might be a good option, but maybe not in this case.
The full list are [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options] is this one custom perhaps?
There is an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-file-to/ Save file to] that adds a dialogue, but you may want to stick to linux. There is a customize shortcuts [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ add on]

Screen sharing stopped working after last update

Hello all,
I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot,
Luis

Problem solved!
After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

Ducking stopped working after last update

I had a project I created last summer where I used the ducking feature throughout. It was working great. The sound clip was at full volume, ducking was selected, and as desired and selected all other clips were reduced to 15% volume.
Today I opened the project and played through. The portions where ducking was selected are now functioning the OPPOSITE as intended. The sound clip itself is ducked and all the other clips are full volume.
When in iMovie and click the gear for the clip, it says next to the "ducking" checkbox, "reduce volume of OTHER tracks to 15%". It's in fact reducing the volume of itself to 15% and having NO effect on the other tracks.
Is there a solution to this?
Please, I already know of several workarounds... what I want to know is what caused this and if there's a real solution.
Thank-you.

Hello sparky,
I have encountered the same problem (although I cannot say if it is due to a recent update).
And unfortunately, I do not have any idea what might have caused this or how to resolve it.
What makes this so weird is that I have other iMovie projects on the same machine using the same type of source files (DV video clips and separately recorded voice-overs in WAV format) where ducking works flawlessly - with the same settings.
I would really be grateful for a hint on what's happening here and how one might resolve this problem - it's a total show-stopper, as I cannot complete the project without pre-mixing all audio outside of iMovie, which would take ages.

TC guest network stopped working after last update

Hi, I got the new 2TB TC. And it was working fine. Since I updates it to 7.7.3. The guest network stopped assigning IPs. I can see it and change the settings but I can't join it anymore. It was working fine before.
I Am setting it from iOS devices not a Mac.
The TC is in bridging mode.
I Also tried restoring it to default settings.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thank you.

I had it working right out of the box when I bought it, there was no double NAT warning or error message, unlike now I have to ignore the double. NAT error message for the light on the TC to turn back to green again.

Camera connection kit stopped working after last update

After the recent update to ios 8.1.3 my Apple Camera connection kit has ceased to work, any one got any ideas why and a possible solution?

Is this a genuine Apple-made CCK or a third party one?

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

My wifi stopped working after a update last year and I have updated since, can this be fixe

MMy wi fi stopped working after a update early last year and I have just made do since then by using i pad at home. I was going to upgrade my phone but need to clarify if it was the upgrade that broke my wifi and can it be fixed? I have heaed of Apple replacing phones affected by this problem. Please help

Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced. I have not heard of Apple replacing long out of warranty iPhones.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A

BoardMaker plus 6 stopped working after OS update

I was worried about this, I still haven't upgraded. But while doing research I saw that there is now an online version, I wonder if it's the same ...
