Mouse-click with red circles

In many tutorial videos (Photoshop or Lightroom) you can see red circles appear after mouse clicks.
When I use the software it didn´t show up.
Do I need a special mouse software ? Is it on Mac or Windows ?

Some of the screen recording applications used to create demonstration videos can highlight the pointer during the recording. There are also utilities that highlight the pointer live, for example when you do a classroom presentation. On the Mac, you can use the Mouseposé utility for this.

Unit totally locked up. now get startup sound and blank screen with red circle with line thru it.

My Macbook is about 4 years oId. I was doing an Excel spreadsheet(apple office suite), went for a short break, on first keystroke the unit totally locked up with the spinning beachball. My mouse could move that around but that was all it could do. After about 4 minutes, needed to force quit it by holding down start up button. let it sit for a couple of minutes and then tried to restart it. I now get the start up chime followed after a short spell with a grey screen with a red circle with a red line though it right in the middle of the screen. tried about 3 more times with the same result. I hope it isn't dead because my project was about 95% complete and just about ready to print.
Any ideas how to revive the ol' girl?

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately more serious then that. took unit to the apple repair techies and needed to replace hard drive. It had a total catastrophic failure and none of the info was recoverable That is a bummer as my last project was quite time consuming and almost complete. Good news I guess is I now have a much larger hard drive memory. Also had them put in much more RAM so now she is purring like a kitten again and a lot faster. Hopefully it will be a while before the swirling beachball of death appears. Thanks again for trying to help.

Simulate mouse clicks with keyboard

Hello,
I'd like to create a little tool in JAVA that would simulate a mouseclick when I pressed a key on the keyboard.
But that should be valid even when I have any other program as active (selected).
Can that be done in Java or Java can only listen to events generated when the java application is active?
If you have working code that would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Nuno Vidal

Ok... have never done anythong with JNI before, can
you give me an insight?The way I would do it would be to write a system wide keyboard hook, (which you can't do in Java and should do in C++)into a JNI dll as smg123 said. Then you will have that method notify your java program on a key press and from your Java program you can use the Robot class to send a mouse click or since your already using a native code you could write a C++ function to do it and invoke that from your Java app.

Right-mouse click with two fingers!

It appears that the new 17" MBP has a setting that allows you to right-mouse click by having two fingers on the touch pad and pressing the mouse button.
Besides being an absolutely fantastic trick, it's the final feature I want for my 15" MBP that makes it complete. (Well, I would have liked a real delete key as well.) So, when can we see this feature added to the 15" MBP?

Why does my music on my ipod has red square with a red circle around it

why does my list of music on my ipod have a red square with red circle by it

Red square in red circle cannot play songs
Remove Red Circles with Square in middle
SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing red circles with squares in them?

my music isn't playing, it's only coming up with red circles with squares in it, and most of it is purchased music not just downloaded...is there anyway to fix this??

I talked to an apple care specialist and they helped me fix this. Go to itunes, and uncheck sync music and then apply. Then after the songs been deleted from your device, check sync music and apply and all your music will be downloaded again!!! Hope this helps!!!

Recording keystrokes and mouse clicks?

Greetings,
I need to be able to make scripts/macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks with location.
Is this possible with Automator?
Does anyone know of a way program to do this?
It seems so simple.
Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
Automator never would capture those key strokes.
But today I has a break through. This sequence does work:
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to bottom of the file and the cursor is placed below the last line.)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-UpArror to move cursor up one line and select the last line.
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
about 70% of the time this did get recorded correctly (I did maybe 3 recordings and one failed to select). Once it got recorded correctly it worked reliably.
So it seems to be able to capture some sequences but not others. Both sequences work very reliably when I type them but automator can only capture the last sequence.
Thanks for the suggestions. This tool is better than nothing but not anything I would recommend.

Send a mouse click?

Does anyone know how to generate a mouse click with lingo? I
need a 'genuine' mouse event - not sendsprite(x,#mouseup)
Cheers

If your project is Windows only, Gary Smith (the fellow who
brought us
BuddyAPI) has posted a beta version of baMouseClick which
will do just
what you need. Though it is Windows only...

How can I read the data from PS/2 port in order to store timing of mouse click?

I am using LabView 5 and later.

Another method would be to use an event. The event would start a timer, or store a timer value based on the event. Of course, this is only available in LabVIEW 6.1, so you would have to upgrade.
The only possible issue with this is that you would have to deal with the resolution of the system clock, which isn't that good in Windows systems.
Let us know some specifics, and we may be able to help more. It would help to know why you are doing this, or what your exact requirements are (i.e. timing precision, what you are trying to time the mouse click with, etc.)

Type anywhere in JTextArea where mouse clicks

Is it possible to start typing anywhere where the mouse clicks with a JtextArea ? I have an application that needs to allow users to start typing at the position where mouse clicks. Be default, JtextArea starts at (0,0).

Well, this might not be the cleanest way, but you could create a mouselistener on the TextArea (or subclass it), and
1) check to see if the clicked position refers to a valid offset in the textArea. If so, you don't really have to do anything, since the basic functionality of the thing should drop the caret in just where you want it. ModelToView() will help you figure out where in the document the mouse clicked.
2) if not, figure out how many lines down/ tabs over need to be appended to the document to get the cursor where you want it, then insert them
3) move the cursor to the end of the document.
this might not be all that clean, especially since fonts vary in width. there are a number of ways you can find out how wide a string is in a given font, though.
hope that helps

I am unable to click and drag some songs to a playlist I just created. There is a red circle with a line diagonal through it when I attempt to drag it to the playlist?

I am unable to add some songs to a playlist. There is a red circle with a line diagnonally through it that appears when I click and drag to the new playlist.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

HT1363 My ipod click wheel will not go into disk mode. All I get is the red circle with the X in it

The only thing my ipod will do is display the red circle with the X in it. I can not put it in disk mode, it won't work. It's the 160 GB classic with the click wheel. Is there anything else I can do to make it work again?

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode, the Hard Drive is likely damaged and beyond repair. You'll probably want to have it replaced either by Apple or a third party service center.
Here are Apple's repair prices.

I have reviewed all written responses about the number in red circle that appears on ical icon and all of them mention an envelope in the bottom left-hand corner with an invitation. I have the number but no envelope. How do I remove it?

I have a number in a red circle on the ical icon at the bottom of the desktop. I know from reading previous (quite old) posts that there should be an envelope with an invitation in the left-hand bottom corner of the ical page. I don't have the envelope. My partner recently got a new Mac and was trying to join our calendars and it caused some problems for me so she discontinued that merge. We are no longer connected (by Mac, I mean). This may have caused the problem but now I don't know how to get rid of that number. I can't find any event that she added to my calendar to click on to perhaps get rid of it. Any ideas?
