Mouse button not register all clicks

I have a problem with my mouse, sometimes when I click, it doesn't click. This usually happens in the dock, when I open up 2 programs, I have to click out of the dock before I can open another program, otherwise it won't recognize the click. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes! I just started having the same problem. The same thing happens in other places too - I have to click out of a program or window then click back in so it will register. Also, sometimes it seems to think I'm double-clicking when I'm not. At first I thought it was my mouse so I plugged in another one but it still happens. I haven't changed any of the mouse settings. I hope someone out there can help us, it can get pretty annoying and slow down a lot of tasks.

Mouse does not respond to clicks for 10mins after startup

When I start my iMac I have to wait at least 10mins before it will respond to any mouse-clicks, the mouse will move but not register any clicks. The same is true for the keyboard; it does not register any input for at least 10mins.
This has only started happening since I upgraded to Lion.
It is a third-party mouse (Labtec) and a Mac keyboard, mouse plugged into keyboard, keyboard plugged into Mac, I've tried a diferent USB port to no avail, I also have a pen tablet connected, again this registers movement but not clicks, this is connected to a different USB port to the keyboard/mouse.
After approx 10mins. all previous mouse-clicks or keyboard entries register. I've tried disabling USBOverdrive but this makes no difference (and I have it running on my Macbook without issue)
Interestingly though, if I restart the iMac I don't have the same trouble, it's only when I start it from not having been used for a short while or if it crashes and I have to force it off with the power button (this happened while typing this message for the first time since installing Lion, blue and white stripy screen).
24" iMac, Mac OS X v10.7, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB memory.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
NB Just crashed again, white screen this time...

See if changing the batteries helps.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

Why does my right mouse button automattically paste when clicked? The option should be there, it should not paste whatever has been coppied without me clicking

If I copy something and then put the pointer on a location where pasting is possible (navigation bar for instance) the right mouse just pastes whatever is in there without my clicking on paste. Very annoying and I will quit using the browser if it does is stop. Here is an example. I will misspell the next word and then right click on it to correct and you can see what happens. It will paste whatever I have copied previously and not fix the error. Speling It is also possible to copy text by double-clicking it and holding down the mouse button until the
That is it. All the text after Speling is pasted when I tried to correct. Same thing if I high lighted text and tried to right click to copy....just more pasting of the same thing. Help please.

Another user reported that this is a feature of the FastestFox add-on. Can you check its Options or, if necessary, Disable it and see whether that is the cause in your case?

Left mouse button not working and can't access hidden dock

This is really weird and just started happening in the past few week or so. My mouse pointer moves and I'm able to select menus and pull down menus with the right button but the left button does not do anything. Also, I have my dock hidden. When I move the mouse pointer towards the bottom of the screen the dock does not appear.
If I reset the Mac Mini everything goes back to normal again until the next time it happens. I have tried swapping to different mouse and the same thing happens. The weird thing is that if I connect to my MacMini from another computer using Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing) the right mouse buttons function properly from the remote Mac. This allows me to properly restart the MacMini. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Aleric,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

Buttons not working, all of a sudden?

Nothing has changed, no editing was done, and all of a sudden, buttons not working. I trued exporting from Flash again, with the same pblish settings. Bit Action Script seems to give me a message now saying it wont export as a button. Tried AS 2.0 and 3.0, but i made original files in 3.0
thoughts???
thank you!

Either convert that symbol to a button symbol so that you can use the code you showed, or assign it an instance name and place the following code in the timeline...
yourMCName.onRelease = function(){
getURL("page2.html","_self","GET");
Where yourMCName is whatever instance name you assign

Accordion widget buttons not hot all the way across

I have discovered that the accordion buttons are not hot all the way across. They are only clickable on the right and left sides with a dead spot in the middle. Is this a setting or a bug?

I figured out the problem, actually. It's that I have the Course Companion
Widget on all my screens and it's laying on top of the widget. I didn't
know it could block the interactivity. I thought it ran in the background,
basically. So I have to make it smaller and move it off to the side to keep
it from blocking the buttons.
Thanks for your response!

Edge S430 - Touchpad, Trackpoint & Mouse Buttons Not Functioning Correctly

Hi.
My new Lenovo S430's Trackpad works most of the time but sometimes just suddenly stops working and I have to restart the laptop using keyboard navigation Often this happens when the machine is under load like an antivirus scan or similar. Sometimes the Trackpad is also sluggish to respond, like it ignores the first touch.
The Trackpoint and mouse buttons (the ones above the Touchpad) work for the first 3-5 minutes after boot up and then suddenly stops working and doesn't start again until it's restarted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling most of the drivers (for various other issues) on the machine but it hasn't helped.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi there.
First of all, I'd like to say that Lenovo Customer Care have been extremely difficult to deal with and quite unhelpful; They are no longer returning communications and have seriously damaged any faith I had in Lenovo as a brand and the extended warranty I bought is useless. I cannot recommend their products to friends or collegues as a result.
Now that that is out of the way, what I've gleaned from the hours spent trying to get through to customer care and the minutes talking to them is that the problem is in one of three places:
1. Microscopic crack in motherboard (highly unlikely, but still it's a hypothesis thrown around by my computer tech friends)
2. The keyboard and touch pad connectors are improperly seated or faulty
3. The RAM modules are improperly seated or faulty
As far as I know there is no solution to problem 1 IF it is indeed the cause. I tend to apply the following process to try to cover both possible causes 2 and 3:
1. Remove keyboard and connectors from laptop
2. Remove and replace RAM modules
3. Remove touchpad connector (it looks like a tiny connector like how the two keyboard connectors attach to the motherboard)
4. Replace all connectors very carefully and ensuring that they are fully installed
5. Replace keyboard
That SHOULD do it in theory. It's worth pointing out that I haven't had to do this with my laptop since January, but the trust is broken. I used to have to do it at least once a week since I got it and it was a nightmare, especially in the middle of a busy college term.
I hope that helps.

[SOLVED] [Gnome 3] Move/resize with alt+mouse button not working

Hi,
Anyone have any ideas why I can't move or resize windows in Gnome 3 with the alt key + mouse button?
From what I've read it should be possible to do this in Gnome 3, or have they removed it?
The alt key works fine for other tasks, like alt+f4. By looking at xev the keyboard seems to generate a correct alt key as well:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 74162047, (-380,478), root:(2169,522),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Both the middle and the right mouse button works fine for other stuff, like pasting and opening menus.
Anyone have any ideas?

I suffer the same problems. metacity is already installed. Any idea what else I might look for?
And did it reactivate Alt+right-click to resize?
For geoffm and anyone who stumbles across this, as per http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … dows-again, you used to be able to use the gconf editor, but now it's (from the command line)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences resize-with-right-button true
This nearly did my head in back when it changed.. now I just have to find out how to change the behaviour that seems to have cropped up in latest gnome 3.10 update, where you have to click the _left_ mouse button to finish/stop the resize.. Quite annoying

Trackpad not registering hard clicks since 10.6.4 update

My trackpad cannot register "hard" clicks now after the 10.6.4 update. I can use the touch-sensitive trackpad functions without depressing the pad, but that limits my usage. For some apps, I want to press down the pad, instead of tapping it lightly. I have to press it down several times just to get it to respond. I think the culprit here is the 10.6.4 update or the update to the trackpad.
I recently erased my hard drive and installed 10.6.1. With 10.6.1, it was still working fine. The problem with the trackpad started when I updated to 10.6.4.
Any help out there?

I would post over in the MacBook Pro forums:

where those gurus hang out. You could also stop down to an Apple store or AASP if available.

Mouse buttons not responding after software installation.

I installed software from Logitech for my new mouse. The cursor moves, but the buttons don't respond. I want to uninstall the software, but without the "click" feature, I cannot choose "uninstall" instead of the highlighted "Quit" in the dialog box. Is there a way around this problem? The mouse had been working just fine until I decided to install the software.
iMacDVD Mac OS X (10.2.x)

So what feature of the Logitech software is it that you want to keep? I'm not quite understanding you. My guess is though, there probably isn't a way to keep part of this utility. I'm guessing either or, but since I have no experience with this particular software I can't be sure. Could you tell us what mouse and what software in particular you have?

Help! My Keyboard and mouse will not work all of a sudden on my G4

I am having a problem with both my keyboard and mouse. I have a graphite G4 and recently had to run disk warrior on i. I have had endless problems with this computer and even have a 2nd hardrive on it since it only came with a 10Gig. Needless to say it is all I have right now. I am running os x 10.2.2 on it and a few days after I recessitated it with disk warrior my keyboard and mouse suddenly went dead while I was on the internet. I tried pluging the two into different usb ports both on the tower and also into the flat panel mac display that it came with and nothing. I plugged in my wacom tablet and that works. i then tested the mouse and keyboard on my husband's dell laptop and they work. I cannot reset the PRAM b/c the keyboard won't work! What do I do??????

Besides removing the battery, you can do a PMU reset which will zap PRAM. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
You only describe your Mac as a G4 graphite, which I believe is a G4 AGP. Here’s a diagram showing the location of the PMU reset button.

Why does the HOME button Not act on clicking?

You have to press harder to get action, so why have a misleading Click ?

Usually in this type of switch, the click occurs FROM the contact itself...
In this case, no. Trying to click softly results in about one in five clicks causing an action. In normal use (like my Mac mouse or other buttons in pressure) results in about half of audible clicks
resulting in actions.
It's a minor annoyance, but still annoying to hear-feel the click yet still have to do it again
