Mouse button no longer works

I just reinstalled my 10.7.5 operating system on my star up disk. All went perfectly except now when I press the the little scroll button in the middle of the mouse it no longer invokes Mission Control as it has before I did the system reinstall. I botted from  the back up (back up done before the system reinstall) of my start up disk & it works as properly. Both my startup & its back up are configured as shown in pics below. Any ideas?

Also, how do I choose between CDE and GNOME from only
keyboard (modify some files, etc) in case my mouse
does not even work any more?You should be able to navigate in the dtgreet login screen with the keyboard.
Shift-tab, arrows, and spacebar should get you to the menu to choose your login environment.

  • Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • Play/pause mouse button no longer works since update?

    I have a mouse with several buttons, one of which I customized to be "Play/Pause". This was great for iTunes -- if I was in Firefox or something, I could click it and immediately play/pause the song.
    However, with the new version of iTunes, this button no longer works, neither outside of iTunes nor inside. The button still works with other programs that it used to (eg, VLC), so it's specific to iTunes.
    My hopes aren't high, but is there any chance of solving this?

  • Left mouse button does not work after last upgrade on one computer.

    Second request -- left mouse button no longer works after latest upgrade. Uninstalled and reinstalled - did not help. Only affected my office computer. Left button works on other three search engines and other programs -- need suggestions...

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Mouse back/forward buttons no longer work in v29

    firefox 29
    windows 8.1 update (1) - IE all M$ updates installed
    logitech M570 mouse
    my mouse back and forward buttons no longer work in v29. i tried FF safe mode, i tried with logitech setpoint 6.5 enabled and disabled, resetting setpoint. i don't want to "reset firefox" because i just did a fresh windows install and fresh firefox 28 install before upgrading to FF29 a few days later.....
    BTW the back/forward buttons work in all other installed programs as well as FF28 in my windows 7 machine.
    thanks in advance for any replies....

    apologies for another reply. also, the back/forward icons (to the left of the URL area) work just fine. it's only the mouse buttons that don't work and after years of using them, i REALLY miss them!
    thanks

  • Function Buttons no longer work

    Installed Leopard. (Had a painful time).
    The Fn Buttons used to work with tiger:
    Fn F4 -> volume, Fn F2 -> Brightness, etc...
    These buttons no longer work.
    How do I fix it ?
    Do I need a driver or something ?
    Ajay

    System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > keyboard.
    Make sure the 'Use all F1 & F2 as Standard function keys' has been ticked or use the keys without the fn key.

  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

    Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • HT2188 home button no longer working after upgrade to io6 on my iphone4...any ideas to fix this problem

    home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device.  phone no good without a home button

    The button's broken.  S**t happens.  Apple will replace your phone.  If in waranty it will be free of charge.  If not, you will pay $149. 
    You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

    my ipod touch will not stop crashing, its pretty much un usable now, is it worth resetting to default settings and clearing everything. Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You can't do it
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

    Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
    I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
    Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
    I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
    THANKS in advance!

    Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

  • Yahoo mail page sign-in button no longer works

    I suddenly can't sign into my yahoo accounts on my iPad 1.  It seems the sign-in button no longer works, when I tap it or use the "go" button, nothing happens - no error message, nothing.  I've re-set the iPad and I still can't sign in.  I can get to all of the other Yahoo web pages, just not my mail.  I can sign into other websites no problem.  Any suggestions?  Is my iPad now completely obsolete?
    I can sign in without a problem on my iMac.
    Thanks,
    Kathleen

    Reset your iPad. This will do no harm and you will not lose any data. See if that works. If not, clear Safari and then try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
