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?

This issue just happened out of the blue. The last thing I did was create a new comp and import an Illustrator file. Working on CC2014. Its like the mouse's left click wont be working at all... but that's not the case. Cant even drag the comps in the composition, or move the layers around....
Now the issue affects everything I do in After Effects, even on a new comp with just a plain solid
Deleted cache,
reseted workspaces,
open/close after effects
restarted computer
newcomp with just a solid and nothing.
plugged unplugged wireless mouse
changed to wired mouse
the issue is still there
Curiously, after writing this post , publishing, and going back to after effects, the mouse will work, but for a couple of clicks or so then wont work again. This only happens on After Effects

Its an Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 with an i7 k2600 clocked to 4.2ghz w 16gbRam at 1333mhz
Dual GPU , gtx 760 and gtx 780ti
Running Windows 7 ultimate.
The keyboard is a Genius G110 plus a wireless mouse Genius also.
Adobe guys tried resetting cache (different than deleting) and user preferences, creating new user, disabling both video cards . The issue was still there.
BTW!, After I switched windows in Win7 environment ( from after effects to the browser) the mouse drag worked again. I could move objects in comp window, scale; move sliders on time line and drag projects to folders in project window... everything fine until i pressed ANY key, say, shift key or ctrl key.
Probably we will never have the answer for this, since i had to format the C drive (i have work to do). Currently i'm installing CC again. So if problem persists, I'll ditch the computer through the window. -
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,

frame.pack();

try

Robot robot = new Robot();

// Simulate a middle-button mouse click again

For some unknown reason this option has died. I have not changed anything and checked that the setting is correct. How do i get it working again. I work across a number of tabs at a time and have now lost a session and cannot recall all the websites concerned.
You can check the browser.sessionstore.* prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset user set (bold) browser.sessionstore.*prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/restore-previous-session
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible). -
Firefox mouse gestures suddenly stopped working.
My back or forward page now only see to reload the page instead moving back or forward a page. This was working fine seemingly no changes. The other odd thing is that when browsing a site like Reddit, once the back gesture is done and it is within the same site, the previous page displays for a split second then back to the current page. I hope this makes sense. All other gestures work even in Chrome.

It just happened suddenly may be after updating to ff 7.
I have tried Safe Mode.
I have tried installing older version of FF.
I never had Grease Monkey or Tab mix plus.What type of mouse? Or is that a laptop touchpad issue?<br />
Does it use the Windows mouse driver, or did you install a mouse driver program? <br />''If it is more than a 2-button mouse with a scroll wheel, it probably needed to have its' own software installed.'' -
I've gone through all the Googling and support forums I can handle.. They all tell me to the same things. I have done everything required and quite honestly Home Sharing was working for quite some time. So I don't think I changed anything.
The only culprit I can think of is the wireless network. We had to call Comcast and reset our service, and they gave us a new modem. Our router is also new.
Is there a setting in a router that lets multiple devices connect but blocks each of them to each other? That seems to be what's happening.
Apple TV2 can see our connection no problem and can download trailers (downloading movies never works though!!!), we have two Macs and two iPhones and all are on our wireless and none can connect to one another using Home Sharing.
Please help!! This is an odd one!!I believe this is true. Alas, I wrote this a while ago and the link is dead. I can't totally remember what the issue was.
But, looking through the PDF for the Linksys e2000, searching for 'filter multicast' I see this:
Filter Multicast The multicasting feature allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time . If multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate computers . Select this option to enable the filter . This option is disabled by default.
And in my settings it's been enabled. So maybe try that.
Filter multicast is under Securtiy>Firewall after you log in as admin.
Why it's disabled by default I do not know.
Good luck! Hope this is the solution!! Apple should warn people of this feature conflict to Apple TV buyers. -
Why did my outgoing email suddenly stop working on all devices?
While sending an email: On my Powerbook, message contained "connection to the outgoing server failed.
While sending an email from I Pad: MobilMe account expired.
On the I Phone: Just said failed
Does having a .mac extension on my address have anything to do with it.Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If you did then you can set up an iCloud account using it. Your signature says you have 10.4.11 - is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for full use of iCloud but you can set Mail up manually on Tiger to access your iCloud email on a migrated MobileMe account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
If you did not migrate the account it has been closed, and all the contents deleted, including everything on the iDisk and any emails you had stored there.
If you only have Tiger you cannot reactivate the address.
If you have Lion or an iOS5 device you can sign into System Preferences> or Settings>iCloud with the @me.com version of the address to reactivate that address; you cannot reactivate the @mac.com version by any method. -

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Okay so. I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset which has been working great since I got it a couple months ago, well today it suddenly stopped working skype says my mic is muted and it's not, I can hear myself through the headset which means it's on and at least working but apperently it's my computer that's not picking it up and I have no idea what it possibly could be, I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Also skype kept moving the mic volume thing all the way down but I don't know if that's related at all.When I make a call my mic doesn't work. Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing problems. Skype is slow and often won't even hook up. Tried my wifes mac with same result, my blackberry phone same result. I've become aware of how dependend on SKYPE i am.

I have a white macbook, about 4 years old. Every time I use it, after five minutes, the mouse and touchpad stop working. You can still hear the click but it doesn't actually click anything on the screen, effectively freezing the computer. I have to just shut it down. What can i do about this?!? Thanks
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?
My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?
if by camera you are referring to iSight, here is how to troubleshoot:
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Standalone iSight cameras
The instructions in this section apply if you have an iSight camera that is not built into your computer but attaches to the computer via a FireWire cable.
Make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
Incomplete cable connections are the most common cause of hardware problems. Follow these quick instructions to make sure your iSight cable is completely plugged in.If your iSight camera continues to function improperly, continue on to the steps below.
Turn the computer and the camera off.
Unplug the FireWire cable from your computer and the camera.
Wait a few seconds.
Firmly, without forcing, plug the cable back in to the camera and the computer.
Caution: FireWire ports are keyed so the FireWire cable can only be inserted one way. Make sure you are inserting the FireWire cable into the FireWire port in the correct orientation.
Restart your computer.
If the green light on top of the iSight is not lit, turn on the camera by gently twisting the lens.
Launch iChat AV.
See if a different FireWire port works.
Some Macs have more than one FireWire port. If your computer has another FireWire port, disconnect the iSight camera from the current port and plug it into the other one. Restart your computer and test the camera before continuing to step three.
Check to see if other FireWire devices work.
If you have another FireWire device, such as a video camera or an external hard drive, try plugging it into your computer to see if it works. If your other FireWire devices work, this means that your computer's FireWire port is working correctly. If your other FireWire devices don't work, there may be an issue with your computer. Contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
Determine if there is an incompatibility with another FireWire device.
If more than one FireWire device is connected to your computer, there may be an incompatibility between two of the devices. To rule this out, disconnect all other FireWire devices from the computer, including external hard drives, CD/DVD drives, other cameras, and FireWire-based networking equipment, such as hubs and repeaters. If your iSight camera works normally when you remove other FireWire devices, plug them back in one at a time to isolate the cause of the issue.
Make sure the FireWire cable is good.
Follow these steps to test the FireWire cable:Information about your iSight camera should appear in the FireWire Information field. If you see the iSight camera in this field, your cable is good. Once you've confirmed the cable you are using is good, use it to plug your iSight into your computer. If the green light on the top of the camera does not light up immediately (within a second), there may be an issue with your camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
Important: Do not send your iSight camera for repair until you have tried each troubleshooting step.If the FireWire cable that came with your iSight camera didn't work, try another FireWire cable that you know works. If this cable works, there is an issue with your iSight's FireWire cable. If your camera is in the limited warranty period, fill out an iSight Service Request to receive a replacement cable.
Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.
Click More Info. System Profiler opens.
In the System Profiler window, click on the Devices and Volumes option.
Click the disclosure triangle, if necessary, in the FireWire Information area.
Check to see if there is an issue with your camera.
If information about your iSight appears in System Profiler but the camera still does not work, follow these steps:Video from your iSight camera should appear on screen. If the screen is blue or black, there may be an issue with the camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
Open iChat AV.
Choose Preferences from the iChat menu.
Click the Video button.
Twist the front of the iSight camera lens to open the iris barrier. The green light on the camera turns on when the iris barrier is open. -
