Mouse buttons stopped working

Hi, I'm running the 64-bit version of Arch on a desktop (custom-built from components), with a Radeon HD 4670 graphics card using the catalyst-total package.
Everything was running fine until earlier today, when I plugged in my phone to download pictures. It's worked fine before and hasn't caused any problems (it has a micro-SD card that acts as a mass storage device in file managers). This time, after plugging it in, my mouse (wireless, USB) lost the ability to send button presses (or the x-server lost the ability to receive them, or to process them, or something). Moving the mouse works to change the cursor position on the screen, hovering it over different items makes the cursor change appropriately, wbar expands like normal, and tooltips show up. But clicking/scrolling does nothing.
I've tried rebooting, a full system update, and reinstalling different packages that would be related to the problem. (xorg-server, xorg-input-mouse, catalyst-total...) Any ideas on how to get my mouse working again? It's a bit hard to edit photos, etc.
Thanks!

I don't think, that evdev has something to do with the xf86-input-mouse. But I belive, this is a real issue, because my good old configuration stopped working (buttons aren't customized) today as well. Looks like the reason is hidden somewhere in yesterdays pacman -Syu .

[SOLVED] Mouse buttons stopped working

I have a Logitech Marble Mouse (connected via a USB to PS/2 adapter). It has no scrollwheel, so I set up the small "extra" pair of buttons to toggle "scroll mode" in certain applications (like Firefox & Chrome). When activated, moving the trackball scrolls the page up/down/left/right instead of moving the pointer.
It's been working fine for months, but a week or so ago, the scroll buttons suddenly stopped working. The settings are contained at the very bottom of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.org, and the only other file in that directory matches "ThinkPad HDAPS acceleromer data", so shouldn't affect the mouse settings.
(The buttons that don't work are "B" and "C", which both activated scroll mode:)

I've tried playing around with the button-mapping, even jumbling 4 5 6 7 to 5 4 7 6 (which, I thought, should invert the movement of the pointer), but none of this has any effect. I've checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and I don't seem to have any mouse-related settings there... and I've read the wiki, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!
Can anyone help? :-)

Synaptics TouchPad V6.3 PS/2 Mouse buttons stopped working HDX 16 Notebook

This is the third time that the mouse has died. The first machine I got from HP lasted a month then the mouse died. The replacement machine lasted 3 months before it died. I used an external mouse for 1.75 years before I sent it in for repair on the $200 extended warantee that I purchased because I didn't get it fixed under the standard warantee.
The repair was done in August of 2011 so a little more than a year and 1/2 later seems like another failed mouse.
Does anybody know if it's the mouse that fails or the motherboard. HP sells the top cover with the mouse integrated into it?
I can't remember what was replaced the last time. I think it took a motherboard and top cover with integrated mouse pad.
Notebook: HDX 16, Product Number NK133AV also known at Model 1200 series. Vista 64bit Home Premium
Discharged the power in the machine as per other posts I've read. Uninstalled and reinstalled the Synapics Driver and nothing has changed the buttons still don't work.
The touchpad seems to have all it's functionality it's just the 2 mouse buttons that have died.
The device manger shows that the mouse is working properly as a Synaptics and as a Standard HID compliant mouse.
Anybody have any ideas for a solution to this problem. Is there anyway to test the ps/2 port on the motherboad and /or to test the mousepad itself?
My old Dell still had a working mouse when it was retired after 6 years for an upgrade to this machine.
Thanks for any help

Hello jbarsanti. I understand your mouse's buttons aren't working properly.
What is the product number for your notebook? This will allow me to find information regarding your specific version of the notebook. This document can show you where the product number is located.
Have you opened the notebook to verify that the keyboard's connection to the motherboard is secure?
If the connection is secure I would suggest performing a Microsoft System Restore to restore the notebook to a point prior to the issue. If this doesn't resolve the issue then you may want to consider a recovery. The recovery will take your notebook back to factory conditions. If the issue persists after a recovery you can say with 99% certainty that the issue is hardware related. However, all data that you do not back up prior to the recovery will be lost. This document covers the recovery process.
If the issue persists after a recovery you'll likely need to replace that top cover which contains the buttons. In order to locate the proper information and parts I'll need the product number that I asked for above. Once I have that information I'll go ahead and provide you with information regarding the repair in case you need to go that route.
If you have any questions let me know. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

You're not the only one. There's no real solution yet, but you might want to track

Also, maybe add your weight to the bug report. I don't think we've really been noticed yet.

ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse buttons stop working

I'm back using a USB mouse since my Lenovo Win 8.1 mouse stopped left clicking.
New batteries and the following:
I have tried a second Lenovo Bluetooth mouse new out of the box with similar results.
And I have done the delete device and add device, uninstall software, reinstall all to no effect.
Am I doomed to having a cable on my desktop or a dongle occupying a USB port?
The problem just seemed to happen in the middle of using the mouse.
I also did a Win Reset without success.

Hello,
I've been using a Lenovo N700 Mouse with my W530 and while it took a little getting used to compared to my old mouse (Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000), it's working quite well for me.

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....

How can I get the middle mouse button to work with the toolbar button?

Yesterday firefox stopped responding to middle-mouse clicks made in the bookmarks toolbar. Middle mouse buttons still work in web pages.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Today my M-Audio iControl play button stopped working on my Mac Book Pro after I unplugged the USB cord.

Hello,
Today my M-Audio iContol play button stopped working after I unplugged it from the USB port and then plugged it back in. I have a Mac Book Pro Mac OS X 10.7.3 and I only use it for Garage Band. The iControl will only play a very short snippet of a song then shuts off? (Like a millisecond) My space bar works fine as well as the GB play button using the mouse. I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!! One more thing, I plgged the iControl into my other Imac and it works fine so the iControl is ok.
Thanks!

I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!!
In MacOS 10.7.3 the User LIbrary is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder "Go" menu:
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.

Mouse Clicks stop working randomly

So far I have noticed several times on my Quad Core 27 inch imac that the mouse clicks stop working. This is with two different mice, plugged in together, so I know it's not mouse or driver related. It happens to both of them whenever it does happen.
The only correlation I can make is that it usually happens when I am on a website. I might even have noticed a correlation with "flash based" modules and components on websites, but this could be speculation at this point.
Apple, I love you, but having to hard restart my $2000 computer because the mouse is inoperable is unacceptable. Figure this out. There is no excuse for this. PC's don't do this. I've never had a computer do this in my entire life and words cannot describe how frustrating it is, especially when you are in the middle of trying to get some work done...
-Matt

Try hitting the escape key on the keyboard (ESC). I've noticed that some property sheets, dialogs, and context menus can get 'lost' if you change focus to another program intentionally or accidentally, or if an application 'steals focus' (fairly rare in OS X). You may have to Command + Tab between applications to find where things are 'hung up'. Flash seems especially bad about hanging after a right click tries to call up a context menu.

My middle "Home" button stops working at least once a day! Can I get a replacment?

I got my iPhone in October of 2010 and for the past 2 months witch it is now June 2011, my middle button stops working for up to 2 hours sometimes and it happens EVERYDAY! It's very annoying and also another problem whenever I recive or am calling someone it makes this horrible buzzing noise and it makes it hard to hear the person(s). I want a replacment because this is annoying and stressfull. Is there anyway I can get a new phone...? Please help!!!

The basic warranty is for 90 days. If you purchased AppleCare for your phone at the time you bought the phone, that's good for 2 years.
In either case, call your local Apple Store and make an appointment to take the phone in for a repair. If there's something wrong with it, they'll fix it. You won't pay anything if you purchased the AppleCare. If you're lucky to get an Apple Store employee who is in a good mood, you won't pay even if your phone is not covered by a current warranty.

Hello Kimbo1991,
It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I dropped my Iphone in water and the on/off button stopped working, how do I fix it?

I dropped my phone in some water and it was only in there for about two or three seconds. I grabbed it and dried it straight away and made sure to get in all of it, and it was fine, everything worked. But about an hour after the on/off button stopped working, so i have to use the home button to unlock it and have to wait for the screen to turn off after 1 minute of leaving it. I cant turn it off and dont know how to fix it. Will it go away on its own, do I have to send it off to get fixed? This literally happened like two hours ago, and my phone is a bit more than a year old. Can anyone help me?

Make an app;ointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. You can get an out of warrnty replacement for an iPhone 4 for $149.
If you had just done it, the advice would have been to shut it off and put it in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a week. Unfortunately, since it's been powered on for several hours, since then, it may have been permanently damaged. You can try the rice trick, but be prepared to pay for a replacement at some point down the road.

Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

My back button stopped working, so how to fix it?

The back button stopped working. I can still use the keyboard substitute though. I have tried deleting places.sqlite and resetting some of the settings people suggested in config:about. Nothing has worked.

You can try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
