Mouse click misses on all programs

Every once in a while, like between every 10 seconds to 30 seconds, the mouse fails to register a click and I have to click again.
It's a bluetooth mouse, but when I try with simply the trackpad I notice it occurs also.
It's not always noticible, because it could be a miss-hit, but when I use a pro program , it really becomes noticible, and with mail too.
I notice that sometimes when clicking on text to change a letter, the whole word is selected and sometimes the whole line.
Is this a mouse malfunction?
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB Ram 1600 MHZ DDR3

System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad
Double-click speed:
Adjusting the speed may help.
Best.

Detecting a mouse click on any (all) child components...

Hey All,
I am writing a number of compound GUI elements that i want to make focusable when you click any part of them. (i.e. a JTextArea inside a JScrollPane, coupled to a JTextField to provide input to the JTextArea).
Is there an easy way to detect mouse clicks on child components of a JPanel?
My current code is:
m_oInputBox.addMouseListener(this);
m_oOutputBox.addMouseListener(this);
m_oScrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().addMouseListener(this);
This detects most of the mouse clicks, but not those on the buttons that form the scroll bar ends or the scroll bar slider when it is present.
Any way tou can detect clicks on these too??
Iso

P.S. It does actually detect clicks on the scroll bar slider - just not onthe buttons that form the slider end caps (up/down).

Recovery Manager missing from All Programs

Hi,
A few months back I installed windows 8 wihtout knowing it was not possible to remove it. I somehow managed to restore my windows 7. But in the process the HP Recovery Manager got removed from the Start Menu. I don't know how it got removed.
My recovery Partition is still there. How do i create the recovery discs without theRecovery Manager or how do I restore the Recoery Manager.
Please suggest
Thanks

Mouse clicks occasionally stop working

I am currently deploying a Java Swing application, and sometimes the end-user encounters an unusual problem whereby they open the application and mouse clicks have no effect. The mouse movement is still tracked fine, as buttons and menus get highlighted as expected when the mouse passes over them. I searched for information about this problem, and learned that a work-around is to click the middle mouse button. This does indeed restore the mouse click behaviour and all continues to work fine after that.
So then I thought I might simulate a middle-button mouse click during my application start-up, in the hope of remedying the problem before any end-user actually sees it. The result is that instead of remedying the problem, I actually cause it to happen every time! The application gets into a state whereby mouse clicks are ignored, and clicking the middle-mouse button restores the mouse click behaviour.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and know of a way to prevent end-users from experiencing this problem? Here's some example code that demonstrates the behaviour:
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(new JButton("Click Me"));
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        try
            // Simulate a middle-button mouse click
            Robot robot = new Robot();
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}Note I'm using Java 1.6.0_07. Any help with this would be much appreciated,
Paul.

            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
            // Simulate a middle-button mouse click again

Firefox missing mouse clicks

I have updated both my desktop (Win7) and my laptop (WinXP) to Firefox 9.0.1 (from 8.0) and both are suffering from this issue.
about 99% of my left mouse clicks seem to get ignored, but middle and right are both perfectly find. Left button operates correctly in all other programs.
The mouse works correctly in the taskbar/menus/tab bar/scroll bar, but stops as soon as I am inside the page display area.
Sometimes if I click continuously for 10 seconds I get an ok click, or sometimes I have to use a different program for a minute and then come back, then I can get 1 or 2 clicks before it stops working.
Currently navigating using tab, and shift+tab.
This is very very annoying, has anyone else noticed this after update? or have any ideas?

My current issue is that if the simulator is frozen (system time is cycling within a 100ms window) mouse clicks on buttons are getting lost.OK that's an entirely different kettle of fish. Firing an action does require that the mouseReleased be later than the mousePressed, and that both be over the button.
Consider ths scenarion in any normal application that doesn't interfere with the system time. The user presses the mouse over some other component, drags over to the button and releases it. Next, the user presses the mouse over the button, drags off the button and then releases it. This isn't supposed to trigger the button's ActionListener#actionPerformed.
With the system time looping, how does the runtime know that this isn't the case?
I can see the button border change when I move the mouse over the button,that's rollover, triggered from mouseEntered. timing is not an issue.
but the mouse click is lost (button does not get depressed).See above.
Sometimes it works fine for a few mouse clicks and other times several mouse clicks will be lost in a row.See above.
It seems random.In a way, it is.
This seems to be more prevalent with buttons than capturing a mouse click on a panel where I do 2D drawing. Not sure why.Could be just human susceptibility to guesswork, or may actually have something to do with the occasional additional processor cycles involved in the custom painting. Since you haven't described the frequency of repainting nor its complexity, that guess is my susceptibility to guesswork ;)
When I put the simulator into Run mode, it works perfectly, never missing a click.Of course it will.
Anyone out there have any insights into what might be going on under the hood inside Java/Swing with mouse events and the system clock?See above.

I am using FireFox 4. Where is the "Bookmark All Tabs-" feature. I would like to save my Tabs for a later session. The selection is not on the menu when I right-mouse click or go to the Bookmarks feature of the Menu.

Missing "Bookmark All Tabs…" feature which was in previous versions of FireFox 3.x. If you right-mouse click on a neutral part of the Browser window, there would be choice of "Bookmark this page" or "Bookmark All Tabs…". I have been unable to find it either in the sub-menu or the BOOKMARK selection from the Menu Bar.

What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.
Tank you for your understanding !

HT4623 I clicked on "update all" on my app , however my TRX Force app has yet to update and keeps asking me to retry. Yes, I am connected to WIFI and yes, I am updated to the latest version of itunes. anything else I may be missing?

I clicked on "update all" on my apps and all updated but my TRX FORCE App. it kept asking me to retry even after I connected to WIFI and downloaded/updated to the latest itunes. Am I missing something else? This was an expensive app that I use everyday for my line of work. ??

It says that the feature I am trying to use it on a network resource that in unavailable. It then asks me to enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi'
That's perfect, thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I just remembered I have a couple of screen snaps online to explain how
it's done:
1. place your base image and name it in the inspector
2. from the smart objects palette grab the head action item, the one
with a question mark in its upper, green half - the 2nd one from the
left. Drop that into the pages head section.
3. in the inspector set the action to run OnLoad and select the base
image that you named in the first step and set the other parameters.
This was done in the days of GL6, but not much had changed in GL CS.
Anyway you might also refer to GL's online help. It describes how to set
up all the actions that ship with GL.

Mouse Click Suddenly STOPS working... on all mice

I had a situation today I've never seen before. I selected an item in a folder in the finder to drag and drop, but I couldn't let go. My mouse would not receive a single click/left click. I thought it might be the mouse so I switched mice to an Apple mouse and it wasn't working either. A RIGHT click worked with both mice, but the system stopped recognizing and registering single clicks. I had to reboot to get back control of my system and mice.
Apple Mouse was plugged directly into the front of my G5.
I just updated to 10.5.3 when it came out but I hadn't seen this problem till just now...

I have a similar problem with 2 Mac Minis running 10.5.3. Prior to the update the mouse behaved fine, but now every so often mouse clicks are not registered. On any window the mouse click causes the window to loose focus, but nothing really happens. The only way to deal with the computer seems to be to try to quit all running applications and suddenly the mouse begins to function as normal. Any suggestions for a fix?

Magic Mouse continually shows context menu on all mouse clicks

Periodically the magic mouse gets into a mode where all mouse clicks result in the context menu appearing.
I can't even double click on a application to open.
I can sometimes get the behavior to stop by rebooting the machine (but not always). And there are times if I keep banging on the keyboard in a text entry area the all context menu all teh time behavior will stop.
Originally I thought it was just a magic mouse problem, but I see the same behavior if I swap it out with an old tethered mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks

It sounds like the Control/alt key may be stuck down. The CNTL click is another way to perform secondary click.
You can check for that by starting the Keyboard viewer. System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > check "Show Keyboard and character viewer in the menubar". Then click the icon in the menubar and start the Keyboard viewer. Any pressed keys will be reflected.
