Mouse/Dock/Menu Issues

About 6 months ago, I had weird issues with my mouse that affected the dock, hot corners, menu actions and hyperlinks. I repaired permissions repeatedly, threw away preference files left and right and just when I thought it was hopeless everything returned to normal ... until recently.
The one preference file I can't find though is one for keyboards and or mice- is the fact I can't find that file the key to this issue? And if so how do I restore it or recreate it without a complete system reinstall, especially since I didn't have to resort to that last time?

Hi Aviwolf,
Did you Verify and/or Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions?
There are more than one file(s?) that contain that info, depending on what tab you use.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Let us know what is happening.

Need help with Flash Dock Menu

Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a dock menu componant for my website in CS3. I've seen loads of them out there but they all seem to only stop scrolling when the mouse is moved in to the center of the movie - I want to build one exactly like the one in the link below, where the mouse will stop scrolling once the mouse is settled over the image you want to select.
http://www.mtoolcomponents.com/flash-slideshow/flash-dock-menu.html
I even want to create something a bit simpler where there are no reflections and the images don't get bigger on rollover.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or know how I can achieve this?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

I am trying to create the menu. I have figured out how to
create the extra button as well as where I will need to change the
link for each button but if you download the menu from above (link
included in previous post) you will notice that the first two
buttons are mimicking each other. I need the second option to be
FAQs independent of the first home button

How can I get to home screen from car dock menu when an app is running?

Just upgraded to the RAZR MAXX from a Droid 2 Global.
When the phone is mounted in the car dock and an app is running (Navi, Music, etc.), how can you get to the main home screen of the phone rather than the car dock menu?
Follow me......
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* If there are NO apps running, pressing the BACK key from within the Car Dock Menu takes you directly to the Home screen.
However.....
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* Navigation(or any app, for that matter) is running.
* Pressing MENU key takes me to Car Dock Menu.
* There's no exit option available to exit from car dock menu.
* Pressing BACK key takes you back to the app that's running, not the home screen.
* Long press of HOME key only takes you to an app list screen, not home screen.
* Only way to get to home screen is to repeatedly press the BACK button exiting out of the Car Dock Menu and cancelling all apps that are currently running.
On my Droid 2, I was able to quickly exit the Car Dock Menu simply by pressing the BACK or exit button, regardless of which or how many apps were running. They would still run in the background, showing on the status bar.
Anyone know of a work around? I couldn't find any settings to change within the Car Dock menu to change this. Stopped by three Verizon stores and they all say we have to be missing something, as they couldn't figure it out either. One rep told me it was a new "nanny" feature so that you couldn't access your apps while driving, however when I pointed out that you could access the home screen if no apps were running, he wasn't sure what to say.
Any help?

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

Clear Recents in Show Recents Dock Menu

Hello,
Its probably been there for ever but I have only just noticed the "show recents" after right clicking a Dock menu item, this is brillaint, but how can I clear them?
I've tried clicking them while holding down modifier keys but I can't seem to get rid of them, I have also tried using the clear menu command under the Apps File menu Open Recent, but this does not work, and there does not seem to be anything in the Dock- System Preferences, so any ideas?
Cheers.

The number of "recents" is determined in System Preferences > General tab > Number of recent items:
You can clear them on the menubar,  > Recent Items > clear menu

Starting Facetime (MacBook Air) from Dock menu causes program error.

When opening Facetime from the Dock menu, I get an error message. Something like: "there was a problem, please close the program". The only option is to close it, btw, and it does not help. But when I start the program from the launchpad menu, it works just fine. How can I make the Facetime icon in the Dock menu work?

Exactly the same problem ! just cant launch Facetime from the dock. From Finder or launchpad works fine.

HT201730 dock menu gone

After installing some software, I have lost my dock menu. I am unable to pull it up by running my pointer over it, changing the hiding option on the apple icon menu, or modifying dock preferences. Mac OS X version 10.6.8

Boot into your normal account and try a Dock reset.
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

Whenever I click on my wireless mouse, a menu drops down containing several choices, and blocks the item that I clicked on.

I have an iMAC with the Yellowstone OS installed. This problem existed on the previous OS as well. Whenever I click on my wireless mouse, a menu drops down with several options on it. This menu then blocks my ability to click directly on the desired item. This is very irritating.

Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.

Need to remove default dock menu item and add new.

Hi ,
I am working on Carbon application on Xcode . I need to remove default menu item attached to my application dock menu like ( Remove from Dock , Open at Login , Show in Finder ).
I also need to attach new items to my application dock menu and want to handle its event.
Thanks in advance,
Sunil Adhyaru.

Well, this is a programming question more than a question on how to use the Leopard environment (you might want to post to one to the programming forums).
However, basically, you can't remove the Dock menu items that the Dock itself adds (add/remove from dock, etc.). You can add your own menu items, however. Use the interface builder to create a nib that has a menu in it -- call it something catchy like MyMenu.nib.
Then in the application property list file (Info.plist) add property called "AppleDockMenu" and set the value to a string that's the name of your nib file (without the .nib extension).
Subsequently, you treat that menu just as you would the menus in your menu bar. That's all there is to it.

Mouse-over menu problem in iWeb, 2nd try

This is a 2nd attempt to ask for help: I want post one more time 'cause I realized – due to the useful feedback of one member of this forum (Cyclosaurus) - I can now explain my mouse-over problem a lot better:
I’ve got mouse-over menus that mess up in this weird way - but only when the browser is refreshed. And then they work fine again when browser is refreshed yet again. (?!) And it only happens in iWeb.
I worked with a programmer who wrote html code for me, creating a mouse-over menu system for my (iweb-generated) site: www.petersolon.com As a stand-alone thing (as stand-alone code) the menu system works great-there's nothing wrong with it-as you can see:
www.petersolon.com/default.html
But when the code is introduced into iWeb and uploaded, this weird refresh problem occurs. (I didn't do a very good job of describing the problem in my recent post: “MOUSE-OVER MENUS….etc”)
Anyway, the mouse-over system starts out working fine but then, after refreshing the page (the problem occurs more freq. on some pages vs others), the string of menus jump to a spot they shouldn’t move to. They do this:
http://www.petersolon.com/MenuProblem.html
And it only happens in iWeb.
The whole navigation system then gets totally messed up. I can’t tell you how many hours we spent fiddling with the code, trying to pinpoint the problem.
What I know for sure is, the problem is related to:
1. browser refresh
2. iWeb generated code (mixing with "outside code")
3. position of my primary navigation menus vis-a-vis a graphic they sit on top of.
Any help would really be appreciated, thank you much Peter
