Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time? Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop. It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work. What should / can I do, if anything?

Hi,
Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

CAN PHOTOSMART 5510 WORK IN BOTH MODES-USB AND WIRELESS TO PRINT FROM I-PAD OR I-PHONE 4S.

SEPPLES86,
In order to print from your I-Pad or I-Phone you would need to be connected through wireless. Air Print works when your printer and device ( ipad or iphone) is connected to the same WI-FI network.
Here is a link to a post with a lot of good information concerning Air Print.

Is it safe to plug and unplug USB and Firewire cables with the computer on?

Is it safe to plug and unplug USB and Firewire cables with the computers on? I have a Mac G4 and a newly purchased IMac and I use one printer for both computers. Should I shut down the computers when I unplug the printer and connect to the other computer? How about when switching firewire drives.
Is there an easy way to have both computers connected to the same printer? I have an Epson 1280 printer.

Yes, you can unplug a printer without shutting down the computer, but if you are switching the printer to another computer then you should first turn off the printer, unplug it, re-connect to the other computer, then turn on the printer. This will assure that the printer will be properly recognized.
If you have your computers networked via Ethernet then you can leave the printer connected to one computer and share it with the other via the network connection. Printer sharing is turned on using the Sharing preference in System Preferences. You will need to Add the printer on both computers so you will need the appropriate printer driver installed on both computers.

USB/Firewire ports were designed to be "hot" plugged. You can safely plug and unplug devices without usually having to shut down the computer or the device. Some devices, such as external HDs, digital cameras and iPods need to be "ejected" first, so as not to damage their formatting or data.
You can network your Macs wirelessly or with an ethernet cable and then set the printer connected to one computer to be shared with the other computer.

Permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8

This is likely a newbie question. I am new to OS X, but I am familiar with Linux/Unix Terminal usage.
I have a permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8.
I cannot use basic commands on the Terminal, such as mkdir, on my own home directory. I get an error message saying the operation is not permitted.
I have traced the probable culprit down to default ACL permissions settings.
So after hours of research on Google, I found out that ACL are turned on by default in OSX 10.5.8.
But I don't know how to safely use it yet, so I need help.
I'm not quite familiar with ACL, so I need to know how to add myself safely and securely to modify my home directory.
The command is with chmod. Can this also be done via the GUI?
What is the option for chmod to modify my home directory?
Is it:
*$ cd ~*
*$ chmod +a "user:john allow write" .*
*$ chmod +a "user:john allow delete" .*
Alternatively, if I use the "chmod -N ." command on the home directory, will that safely remove all ACL? Or is that recipe for a major security hole in my machine?
Thanks!

There are many people on this board that know way more than I do. Sometimes there is the tendency to copy/paste some kind of boilerplate response though, especially if there isn't quite enough information about a particular problem, so just keep trying.
You should be able to add anything you want to your user directory without the use of any ACL entries. The purpose for the *deny delete* entries on the system created folders would probably be to reduce customer service calls about "accidentally" deleting some of the folders that the system expects to be there - it does not affect creating items.
To verify that there aren't other attributes getting in the way, open the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, copy/paste the following command(s) into the window (there is a trailing space), drag the problem folder(s) from a Finder window to the Terminal window (this will paste the path), press return and post back with the results:
/usr/bin/who am i; /bin/ls -leO@d
These commands will display the ownership and permissions, including any ACL entries and extended attributes.
On my Leopard user folder the permissions are drwxr-xr-x+ with an ACL entry *group:everyone deny delete*. These permissions allow read/write for me, read for everyone else, and an administrator authentication will be needed to delete the folder. These are similar to what you posted earlier, so maybe there is something else going on in there.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

HT201442 My Ipad needs to restore and my PowerPC with OSX 10.5.8 can't

My Ipad needs to restore and my PowerPC with OSX 10.5.8 can't

That's correct. You need to upgrade the OS on your Mac if you can, or you need to use a Mac that is running 10.6.8 so that you can restore your iPad. There is no other way around it. You could make an appointment and an Apple Store and ask for their help, but you will not be able to backup your iPad so you will lose everything and have to start all over again.
