Mighty Mouse Has NOTHING Mighty
Am I the only crazy one to think that either OS X or more likely Mighty Mouse is a drag...
Right clicking with the index finger raised is one thing that one can get use to but it is more or less random whether OSX/Mighty Mouse understands that one have actually right clicked. Plugging in a logitec mouse takes care of the problem and right click remains a right click instead of a fifty fifty percent chance of getting the right click...
I have 3 Mighty mice and they all show the same problem...
My only question to Apple should they read this is:
HOW HARD, on a scale from 1-2, can it be to NOT publish a hardware that SIMPLY does not work reliably...
This is bad advertisement for your coming Iphone
To ensure a right-click, I now click pretty close to the right edge of the mouse. Otherwise, the mouse often misinterprets it as a click.
If the Mighty Mouse hadn't come in the box with my Mac Pro, I would not have bought it at all. Cheaper traditional mice work much better. The one innovation the Mighty Mouse has going for it is the scroll ball, but even then, Apple has pulled us back 10 years to where we used to have to clean the mouse ball or it would skip or stop working.
The Mighty Mouse is one of those Apple products that causes the more religious and less reasonable Mac users to constantly apologize for and rationalize the Mighty Mouse's irrational behaviors. If the Mighty Mouse was a Microsoft product, the Mac religious would have slammed the design decisions as "typical Microsoft incompetence."

My screen on my mac book pro is black. I can see the mouse, but nothing on the screen
Please help! My computer has been perfectly fine! I get home and turn it on, and it boots up just fine, but my screen is black. However, I can see the mouse but nothing else. What do I do!?
Try resetting SMC and NVRAM and then reboot.

Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off (hold the power key down for 7 to 10 second). Boot and hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.

when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help
I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

My computer's hardrive went bad an I had to get a new one. Now my computer has nothing on it and I had to reinstall itunes and i have no music or anything. So now I cannot sync my ipod or anything. Is there anything i can do to get all of my stuff back?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
OSX 10.6.8 iMac - Bluetooth mouse has quit. Batteries are good and the mouse works on Maverick laptop. It seems something is wrong in the operating system. I can't do a Safe Boot from the keyboard. Your thoughts, please.
Hi ManKan70,
If you are experiencing issues with your Bluetooth mouse connecting to your iMac, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

The USB cord needed to transfer photos from my iPhone 5 to Windows XP has nothing to do with the charging cord which appears to have an USB 'end', but apparantly is not, as it will not fit into any USB port on my PC?
An iPhone 5 comes with a single cable. It is a USB to Lightning connector cable that is used for charging, for syncing, and for transferring photos from the Camera Roll to your computer. There is no separate cable for charging.

I put something in the search bar such as "making centerpieces for baby shower" or I put it into google. Then a bunch of matches come up, I click on one that looks good, but immediately it goes to "re-direct" and a web site comes up that has nothing at all to do with the search like an auto shop or something.
I would need more details for this, as you have mentioned rulers move ? Are you referring to rulers on page in design ?
You can move a guide lower down the page , ruler marks will be displayed on ruler but that will not stop you moving the guides.
What happens if you uncheck rulers from top view options ?
Thanks,

The new tab goes to a website that has nothing to do with the site I am working with.
hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Imac mail open and mouse has frozen on screen...please advise?
The Mac uses an "All devices active" philosophy with pointing devices and keyboards.
If you have additional pointing devices attached, especially a graphics tablet, it is still directing mouse operations at the same time as the mouse you have your hand on. The end result is the SUM of commands from all such devices. -
I am trying to sync my iphone 4s to my windowns Itunes account. When i try to do it, the sync wants to remove all of the content on my phone and replace it with what is on my laptop, which has nothing yet. I am trying to move all of my purchased and uploaded content from my phone to the computer, but don't see the setting to do that.
Have you tried contactint the app's developer?
