Mouse 'clicks' itself! Help!

My Macbook's "mouse" clicks itself!
Sometimes when I'm typing, my Macbook's "mouse" will click itself and put the cursor wherever the mouse happens to be at the time. If it is behind it, it highlights everything I have already typed, and when I type the next letter, it all gets deleted. This is getting ridiculous. Help?
It is NOT set to "tap to click," it just sometimes randomly clicks itself.
I'm not the only one with this issue (someone over on Yahoo forums has the same).
Help?

Hi loveistheonlyway and welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds very much like you have a hardware issue with your MacBook. If it is still under warranty or if you purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan, contact Apple (800-275-2273) and see about getting a repair set up. Alternatively you can carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store for the repair. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar> first as otherwise you may spend a long time waiting to talk to a Mac Genius.
You can do the same things if you are out of warranty, but you may have to pay for the repair.
Best of luck.

Draw with single mouse click, help me!!!!

I am using this code - as you understood from it- to paint with the mouse click.
please help me either by completing it or by telling me what to do.

You can't save a graphics object like that and then paint on it.
What you need is to use a BufferedImage, paint on that, and then paint that to the screen.
See my paintarea class. You are welcome to use + modify this class as well as take any code snippets to fit into whatever you have but please add a comment where ever you've incorporated stuff from my class

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

HELP - mouse click no longer working - Tiger bug?

Hi Guys,
I had a weird issue with Tiger (10.4.10) on my PowerBook G4 this evening. I was dragging a file to the trash, and "dropped" it onto the dock by mistake, just missing the trash. I was slightly to the left of the trashcan. I expected the icon to jump back to the desktop, as the place I had dropped it was invalid, but to my surprise, as I moved the pointer across the screen with the mouse button unclicked, a ghost version of the icon was still attached to the mouse pointer.
I was unable to click on anything, as the OS still believed for some reason that I was dragging this icon around. I used the keyboard to reboot the laptop, and when it came back up, the mouse click was not working - I can drag around, but can't click on anything. This is with the on board trackpad. I also have a bluetooth apple mouse, which exhibits exactly the same behaviour.
I've rebooted several times (and shutdown and removed the battery), zapped the PRAM. Nothing has helped. I've tried logging in as a different user, but the click still doesn't work with the on-board or external mouse. It's like something within the OS has been corrupted, but I don't know what I can do. I have loads of data on the laptop, so I am not rebuilding. There is something on the help pages about resetting my PowerBook PMU, but I don't think this should be required.
This is a major, urgent issue for me, as I can't use the laptop until I figure out how to resolve this.
Anyone - please help
Thanks,
Robin

Thanks for the feedback. Since resetting the PMU fixed the problem, it's not a bug but some conflict in the original setup.
If you want to report this to Apple, either send Feedback or send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

My iMac doesn't recognize mouse clicks... HELP!

Ok, I reset the SMC and PRAM (and repaired permissions)that made the mouse work until I shut down then I would have the problem again when I started up so I would have to zap the PRAM again. I downloaded Mountain Lion and loaded it thinking this would overwrite any errors but now I can't log in at all. Even zapping the PRAM can't get it to recognize mouse clicks (the courser does move) . Somebody please give me some advice I have total work stopage and I'm desperate!

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Applescript help pt 2...Mouse Clicks & Click Lock?

Hi all,
Second challenge for me, it would be great to be able to use voice commands for mouse clicks. Most specifically I would like to be able to do a click-lock so that I can draw with a trackball and not have to hold down the button. It would be nice as well to be able to single and double click...
I tried to figure it out based on the help I got in the last thread but could use a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks!!!

I suggest you take a look at this it has an example of the Systems Events 'click'
I actually had seen this but it ties the click event to a specific button. When I tried to program just a click event w/o a button or target specified it did not seem to work.
I would need something like "click current mouse position"....
You should also re-think the click and hold idea. A click/hold/drag/release, is really just a select/copy/paste if done with menus.
What I need to do click lock for is to control drawing in Adobe Illustrator. I need to be able to use alternative tools to the Wacom Pen, because no matter how good a tool is if you use it enough hours you will get hand fatigue. I want to be able to draw part of the time with a large trackball, and in order to make that work the mouse button has to be held down continuously while drawing.

Making the mouse click by itself

If you are trying to use an automator workflow with a software that is
not included in the automator list (and therefore there are no prebuilt actions for you to choose), but all you need to do is manually open
the program yourself, place the mouse over the START button in the software,
and you just need automator to click the mouse at a predetermined time,
is there a way of doing that....just making the mouse click over a spot you
have left the mouse, at a predetermined time?
I know how to save the workflow as an ical plug in to trigger the workflow at a specific the time, but I have no idea if I can just make automator "click the mouse" button by itself any place you just leave the mouse.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

QuickTime Broadcaster is scriptable, and has commands to start and stop broadcasts:
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">     tell application "QuickTime Broadcaster"
          if (exists document 1) then
               start document 1
               delay 30 -- ...or however many seconds
               stop document 1
          end if
     end tell
</pre>

HT201361 After taking the screenshot clicking on my trackpad just acting like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Could you help!

After taking a screenshot command + Shift + 4, clicking on my trackpad is like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Please help!

Maybe your trackpad battery is running low? If not I would suggest just restarting your Mac. Post again if those things don't fix your problem and some more involved problem-solving can be attempted.

I need to get mouse click???? Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to wait & get a mouse click into textframe and again the process should continue.Please help!!
Actually I can get cursor position. But every time the user will have to run the script again and again.

Hi, I have tried the following code:
byte b1 = 1;
byte b2 = 2;
byte b3 = 4;
byte b4 = 8;
byte results = 0;
results |= b1;
results |= b3;
results |= b4;
System.out.println(results == (results | b1));
System.out.println(results == (results | b2));
System.out.println(results == (results | b3));
System.out.println(results == (results | b4));And the result is:
true
false
true
true
However, I noticed that it's important to assign the bytes the values of the bits right to left:
0000 0001
0000 0010
0000 0100
0000 1000
The first byte should have value 1
The second should have value 2
The third should have value 4
The fourth should have value 8
So that the | operator works.

Help on right mouse click in swing GUI.

I am working on a swing GUI interface which has Panels. One Panel contains two sub panels. I want to add the Right Mouse click feature to the panels. How should i go about achieving this? Please provide sample example if any.
Thanks in advance.

anyPanel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
   public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
      if(e.isPopupTrigger()){
          // right clicked
});

OSA script help in ARD...mouse click

Hello,
Lets say I want to use ARD (3.6.1) from my macbook air to click on a specific part of the screen on a 10.7.5 mac air.
I have found this osascript but it does not work. Lets say I want it to click at {330,220} in Pages.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Directory Access" to click at {x,y}'
I have tried changing "Directory Access" to the program I am running, "Pages" but that does not work. I am also running command as root.
Any suggestions?

If you google around, you can probable find allot of unix scripts out there to do most of what you can do in Directory Access. (enable root, enable/bind to a directory service, map attributes, extra) and they would be faster and more reliable then trying to perform that action at the finder level with emulate mouse clicks.
FYI Not all process support the to click at funtion of applescript.
Another option some times is to script actions by the GUI elements which isn't relient on the window being in exactly the right spot to work. BUT again it's easier to do allot of this stuff at the unix/command base level.
What are you trying to do with Directory Access?
If you want to use applescript, have you tried some thing you know should work like:
activate application "AppleScript Editor"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "AppleScript Editor" to click at {0, 0}

NSView subclass and mouse clicks

I wrote a relatively simple program. It's got a single visual component on the window, an NSView subclass with drawing delegated out to another class called Arrow. Anyway, it uses a timer to trigger calls to drawRect which in turn "animates" a layer. I have a 100x100 layer and a velocity & position which get updated each time through depending on how much "real" time has passed. As the layer bounces around the screen, the animation seems smooth and everything looks good. If I start clicking in the window, however, things get wonky. The animation stutters (probably expected) and the position sometimes gets set back to the origin (0,0, bottom left corner of screen). I wonder if there's something I can do to stop mouse clicks from affecting the view, I have no set up anything to use the mouse clicks AT ALL so I don't really know how they can affect anything in the code I wrote. If this isn't enough info to answer the question, I'll post the xcode project.

The end result is going to be a very simple 2d game with maybe 8-10 things on the screen moving around at any one time. My next step is to try out openGL but using these CALayers seemed a lot simpler. However, since you say any event will block, I expect that will happen to opengl as well. I'll dig some more in the examples. It seems I followed the pattern from the crash landing demo (although I'm doing it on the mac itself, not iphone/simulator) to set up the rendering.
When you suggest using core animation, are you talking about just telling it the start/end position and the speed, and letting it handle everything in between? I don't think that will work for my case because eventually I will have to handle mouse/keyboard events to alter the movement in real-time. Am I missing something?
Thanks again for your help.

Response to mouse click by combo box list and underlying clickable label

Hello,
we developed a label responding to a mouse click by opening and thereby displaying an associated help text. The label extends a project specific hierarchy of labels and thus implements MouseListener, of course. Now we encountered a strange problem: It occurs when a combo box is placed above such a label in a panel. By clicking the combo box a selective list drops down and covers the label. As soon as a mouse click is performed on a list item directly covering (i.e., right in front of) the clickable label not only this item is selected but the help screen associated with the underlying label is displayed, too. So the mouse click is processed twice: as proposed by the combo box and unwantedly by the label. This behaviour could not be reproduced on other components being placed below a combobox. So the label itself seems to be the cause but we cannot imagine what could exactly be the reason for this double reaction. Perhaps anyone heard of something like that?
We are currently working with IBM Visual Age for Java 2.0 (Java version 1.1.8 with the according Swing version). The clickable label reflectively calls methods of a model to determine whether help is available and if so later on to open this help text.
Any help is appreciated!
Danilo

Thank you for your response. I tried both to check the focus and to consume the event. But I had to learn that labels are not able to catch the focus. I also was not able to consume an appropriate event of the combobox. So I finally solved the problem by extending JButton and implementing ActionListener. Thus my labels are actually buttons but I changed their appearance and behaviour so one cannot distinguish them from labels.

Lose Mouse click after resuming local session (from RDP)

After posting this thread, I was told to post here.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/lose-mouse-click-on-session-resume/e4ca4acf-4f96-4a1f-9e76-4c3665d1253e?auth=1
This gist of the problem is that when I resume a local session on my PC after I have had an RDP session open from home, occasionally, my mouse click function is gone. The cursor itself works, the keyboard works, but the click does not. Only a reboot fixes
it.
I have replaced all my computer components, reloaded Windows 8.1 Enterprise, and replaced my keyboard and mouse. The problem persists.
One item of note, I have 3 monitors and after resuming a session my display might take 30-45 seconds to become functional due to all the windows I have open. I notice that this happens after some time has passed since my last reboot and usually when lots
of windows are open.
Still, after all the hardware replacements, reloading of Windows, it seems to be a bug. Where do I go from here?

Hi,
Please check if mstsc.exe process has already ended completely:
Open task manager -> Details tab, to see if mstsc.exe list there
Meanwhile, please check and install all available Windows Update in order to keep it's latest.
In addition, please perform a Clean boot to see if it's caused by some third party software or service conflicts:
