Mouse actions changed in lion

HELP!! Now, my scrolling on my magic mouse is opposite in lion. It used to be that when I moved my finger down, the page scrolled down. Now it's opposite. Any idea how to change it back?

I just completed the Lion upgrade and am finding all kinds of Wierd and Unexpected (and undocumented) changes like this.
It's really annoying to suddenly discover that things like scrolling direction have been changed for you... without bothering to tell you.
Oh, and by the way... I see nothing in the control pannel to allow change of direction -- only speed
I should add... after looking at the MacTrast screen shot -- my control pannel looks just like it always did... nothing at all like the one in that screen shot ... no "point and click/gestures"' at the top. I suspect that since I don't have a magic mouse configured for this iMac I have no options.
Fortunately, I actually use a Kensington Trackball, and Trackball Works allows (has always allowed) you to select the scrolling direction.
Why Apple decided to revers the definition of up and down is beyond me.

Change dock settings and mouse actions in accounts?

After creating accounts for my class periods I changed the appearance of my/the administrator's dock and the actions of my mighty mouse to enable right click. After logging out and then logging back in as one of my class periods my changes did not carry through.
Please tell me there is an easier way to change the dock and mouse actions than having to log back in as the administrator, going to EACH account, changing them so they can access system preferences, log back in as the class period, make the changes and finally go back in as the admin to take off their access to system preferences. Yuck...
Also, when a student is logged into their period is there a way to switch to the admin account temporairily? For example, if they try to open an application they don't have privileges for shouldn't it prompt the admin to type in the password instead of requiring that I log out? Thanks for any help!

Download and install the Server Admin Tools from Apple. It is intended for OS X Server but works fine on the regular version of Tiger.
Then have a look at Workgroup Manager. It allows you to set all sorts of preferences for any number of accounts. Think of it like Parental Controls on steroids.

Essbase 11.1.1.3 mouse actions don't work with options turned on

I have a user who has "Enable double clicking" selected in his global settings for mouse actions. However, when he tries to use the mouse to zoom in, it doesn't work. Nothing happens as if he did not have "enable double clicking" selected. He is on Windows 7, Excel 2007 and Essbase add-in version 11.1.1.3. I have several other users with the same configuration and their double clicking works fine. We went through and disabled all other add-ins besides the Essbase add-in but still have the same results. We also uninstalled and reinstalled the add-in but that didn't help.
Any thoughts on what could possibly be causing this?
Thanks!

Thanks Robb. I tried those options but it didn't work, but I'm posting here the final resolution in case anyone else encounters the issue.
I had the local desktop support check out his PC and it turns out that the Windows 7 screen resolution was causing the issue. The only reason it was caught is because his desktop sharing software also was not working correctly.
Within the display settings Windows 7 allows you to display text/icons larger without changing the resolution. The user's display was set at 150%. After changing to 100% (default) the desktop sharing and Essbase double clicking are working.

Can (mighty) mouse buttons work w/Lion?

My wired USB Apple Mouse (aka Mighty Mouse) worked fine with 10.5.8 - Sys Pref / Mouse let me assign functions to the left, right, top/scroll, and side buttons. I just upgraded to 10.6.8 and immediately to 10.7.5 Lion, and although the Sys Pref / Mouse window provides similar settings to 10.5.8, three of the five functions don't work.
The Left button is ok, and the Scroll ball (on top) scrolls ok. But the Right button acts just like the Left button, and the Top ball/button push and the Side buttons push don't do anything at all. Thankfully, there are no bizarre problems like the cursor leaping around, and I can hit Control - Left (Primary) button and get the Right (Secondary) button action.
I like my old Mighty Mouse and hope I don't have to get a newer / aftermarket one. Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry for the duplicate post, I am on two different threads concerning this problem. I had contact with Apple Support through the complimentary support for purchasing Lion. They took note that the wired mighty mouse worked with my Macbook air running Lion 10.7.4, that my Wacom pen and tablet could be programmed to right click on my Macpro running 10.7.5 from the App store but seemed stuck on the requirement for a clean install even though I related clean installs from this discussion forum have not worked.
Out of curiousity I tried the USB Overdrive shareware:
http://www.senlick.com/html/01.01.html
My wired USB mighty mouse now works with Lion as it did with Snow Leopard, again to me this points to the release of Lion on the app store.
I am going to write the Apple support case handler again and let her know, I have not heard back from them since November 1, hopefully they are working on the problem.

Or it's better use 9i or 10g jdeveloper? or other tchnology?

The cpu resources are only limited once the cpu's are 100% utilized. It is highly unlikely that dom0 will try to use 100% of a cpu, let alone all cpus. Only when there are no idle physical cpus would you run into issues.
You may want to try reducing the number of vcpus in the windows guest. I have seen reports from users claiming that having more vcpus in a windows guest causes it to run slower.

Can an iMac 10.6.7 snow leopard with wired MOUSE be upgraded to LION OX?

Hi can you help, Can my iMac OS X 10.6.7 that uses a wired mouse be upgraded to Lion OX if so how could I zoom the screen with my fingers as I dont have a magic mouse or magic pad? Also can my iMac work okay if I got rid of the mouse for the pad. I bought the iMac just 2 mnths before the new ones came out pity but love it anyway as I have had 3 windows PCs and 2 laptops but nne of them are as good as the Apple iMac.

As long as your iMac meets the system requirements, you can buy Lion - having a wired mouse has nothing to do with the operating system; it just will not allow you to use any gestures. But I can't see why you just couldn't use it as you always have. And, as long as your iMac supports bluetooth, I'm sure you can buy a trackpad if you like - then you'd be able to use gestures.

How to disable mouse actions for Spotlight?

Spotlight causes me problems, because it is activated, when the middle button of my three-button mouse is pressed. Many X11 and Windows applications have some functions for the middle button and then Spotlight grabs it and nothing else works as it should. Hence, I would like to disable all such mouse functions in Spotlight and other mouse bindings and use mouse only as a pointing device, as it originally was intended to. How can this be done - I cannot find any such hotkeys etc. defined in System Preferences.

ArNo,
the central button can be programmed to do anything from System preferences ->Keyboard and Mouse-> Mouse. Use the drop down box to select "none" if you dont want the middle button to do anything.
If you use a lot of x11 apps that require a different set of actions than the normal mouse environment, I would consider creating a separate user account and turn on fast user switching in system preferences->accounts.
Then you can customize the user environment (mouse actions, etc) to be utilized differently for each unique operating environment.

Mouse wheel changes edits

I couldn't find the answer to this in any of the help topics, but I made some edits to a PDF in X Pro, and I can't make it "stick." When I use the mouse wheel, it shows me the before and after edits. What's causing this and how can I get the edits to be the only page? This happens even when I save the document while on the new edited page.

Hi Paul,
assume you have a form with (at least) these two fields:
1. P70_EMPLOYEE_ID (standard Text field)
2. P70_MGR (select list)
All you need to do is specify
onchange="$x('P70_EMPLOYEE_ID').focus();"at HTML Form Element Attributes of item P70_MGR. Then everytime a value is selected from the select-list the focus/mouse pointer changes to P70_EMPLOYEE_ID

When mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker

I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop (P500-ST5807).
When the mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker. The problem seemed to start after I clicked "hide pointer while typing". I tried unchecking "hide pointer while typing" but this did not correct the problem. I have also tried adjusting the touchpad settings to less sensitive -- this did not help either. I have searched the internet and all types of "cursor flicker" seems to be a common problem.
Would anyone have a simple solution?
Thanks in advance for your help,
yeto

Turn off your printer.
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
Turn on your printer.
Any difference?
Here are some more tips from Apple Support article.

Annoying - mouse wheel changes values in LOV when page scrolling

When I use the mouse wheel to scroll down the page after selecting a value from a Select List LOV, focus remains in the LOV and the LOV value changes automatically. Does anyone know of a workaround how to take focus off the LOV after selection? This has been annoying me for years especially in the Application Builder (which we can't do much about I suppose). Can this be done in my apps?...and please don't suggest not using the mouse wheel to scroll down the page...
regards

Stop Magic Mouse from changing numerical entries

How do I stop my Magic Mouse from changing numerical entries in apps on my Mac Pro? When I'm using a program such as Adobe Illustrator, if I click on an entry field, say the dimensions of a rectangle, and enter the values in on my keyboard, if I happen to slightly drag my finger on the mouse when I grab it again, the numerical entries in the dialog box I was last typing in will change due to the scrolling feature of the Magic Mouse. How do I stop this from happening?

Well, I did manage to write a udev rule that assigned the mouse to event9, but for some odd reason it didn't work with evdev. The man page for evdev says that evdev only uses event*, but I don't understand why event9 doesn't work then. But the phys-thing worked. My mouse-section in xorg.conf now looks like
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Phys" "usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input0"
Option "Buttons" "8"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 8"
EndSection
At a first glance this seems to work as I want. However, if I understand correctly, the phys is tied to a specific usb port? Which means that it will change if I plug the mouse into another port. But since I rarely unplug the mouse anyway, this is a much better solution than having to change xorg.conf all the time.

In Request type, what is the difference between action 'Change user' and 'Assign object'

Dear All,
I have used only 'Assign Object' for my 'Change User' request type. But the standard request type has 'Change user'. So, could you suggest , what additional purpose does Change Object serve
Regards
Plaban

HI Plaban
not sure if you answered your own question here?
Change User - by itself would allow update of address data, user parameters, defaults, etc
Assign Object - as you mentioned roles and profiles.
However, if assigning, I think you need to have both actions: change and assign
I recall (ages ago) that change was only the user details and not the role or profiles. As a result, there were a few threads where people had to update the action for the request type of provisioning would not occur.
This is something you could test
Regards

From iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I used to send embedded documents rather than as an attachmentfrom iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I found the solution on another post by user rbii:
You can add this using Automator:
- Run automator, select File->New, chose Print Plugin
- From the PDFs part of the library drag "Render PDF Pages as Images" to the workflow on the right, set resolution to 200.
- From the Photos part of the library drag "Import Files into iPhoto" to the workflow section.
- Save the workflow
That should get you back this feature."
Save the workflow as "Save PDF to iPhoto" and you'll get that option back on the list. Hope this helps!
