Mouse doesn't click what's onscreen in Windows 7 Large Text format

This is an odd issue we've discovered. We are using Windows 7 Enterprise, and a few of my coworkers have changed screen resolution to LARGE text (Right click desktop > Screen Resolution > Make text and other items larger or smaller > Larger - 150% > Apply). When they do this and attempt to use InDesign CS5.5 (7.5.1), their mouse is essentially useless within InDesign. When they click on something within the application, it either doesn't respond at all or does something different. What we've deduced is that it's showing a visual-only larger version of the interface, but the mouse itself is still clicking through a smaller text version of the application that our eyes cannot see. This only occurs with InDesign - not Illustrator or Photoshop.
Has anybody come across this, and if so, any workarounds?

Thanks, Peter. I did check the Adobe page for known bugs and either glossed over this one or it wasn't there. In any case, setting Windows 7 to operate 'Best for performance' turned off all the bells & whistles and now InDesign works fine. It tested the individual settings and it turns out that selecting 'Use visual styles on windows and buttons' is what makes things wonky. Thanks for the tip!

Magic Mouse doesn't click sometimes

Heyho,
vor kurzem habe ich mir den neuen iMac zusammen mit der Magic Mouse und dem Wireless Keyboard gekauft - so schön der Computer anzuschauen ist, so gut arbeitet er auch. Top!
Meine eigentliche Frage bezieht sich aber leider auf ein Problem mit der Magic Mouse; sie klickt manchmal einfach nicht. Ich möchte beispielsweise in Safari ein Tab schließen, klicke auf das x - aber es klappt nicht. Gut, wenn ich dann 2, 3, 4 Mal klicke, irgendwann klappt's dann - aber das kann nicht die Lösung sein.
Wie lässt sich dieses Problem denn lösen?
Oh, und wenn ich schon diese eMail schreibe; Macs, die am oder nach dem 6. Juni gekauft wurden, sind ja für ein kostenloses Upgrade auf OS X Lion qualifiziert. Was muss ich hierzu aber tun, damit der Mac App Store "erkennt", dass das bei mir der Fall ist?
Ich hoffe, man kann mir helfen
Schöne Grüße aus Bayern,
Manuel Rankl

Kennt niemand eine Lösung oder teilt denn niemand das gleiche Leid?
Was das Upgrade mit Mac OS X Lion anbelangt, hat sich natürlich schon erledigt.

New laptop with InDesign CS6 installed will not allow mouse to click within the fly-out windows.

At first, it wouldn't allow me to click on the Selector tool either; had to press "V" on the keyboard to toggle to it. I can open and close the fly outs, but the mouse doesn't recognize anything clickable within the window itself, from the pages, to the styles etc. I checked the other CS6 software, and no problem in either Photoshop or Illustrator (didn't go beyond those). It's a new computer so there are no old version issues; we've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, including any updates and fixes out there. Any ideas? I'm dead in the water here....

Success! Found the answer here:

On the start screen, my trackpad mouse doesn't work

My mouse will move around, but will not click on anything. I have to type my user name and hit enter to select it, because the mouse doesn't click on anything. If I want to turn the computer off or anything else that requires a click on the start screen, I just can't do it. Does this happen to anyone else?
Thanks!

Try to press the trackpad little harder when you are logging in. It will register the click.
Tap to click becomes operative once the OS starts up and the preference settings are accessed.
That is how my MBP works.
Best.

[SOLVED] Awesome WM - Mouse Doesn't Work on Client Objects

I am new to Arch and awesome and I haven't tampered with the default rc.lua but my mouse doesn't do anything when used on windows(clients). It does in fact work everywhere else e.g. the root window, the menu-bar... Below is the relevant part of my rc.lua, even though its the default.
clientbuttons = aweful.util.table.join(
aweful.button({ }, 1, function(C) client.focus = c; c:raise() end),
aweful.button({modkey}, 1, aweful.mouse.client.move),
aweful.button({modkey}, 3, aweful.mouse.client.resize))
aweful.rules.rules = {
{rule = {},
properties = {keys = clientkeys,
buttons = clientbuttons}}
The client specific keyboard rules do in fact work so its just the mouse related client rules.
Has anyone had this issue or have any suggestions about how to go about debugging it?

It turns out it was my mouse all along (R.A.T 7). I was able to fix the issue with the following post:

New iMac user. My mouse doesn't seem to work properly on websites. I just want to be able to click and have it do whatever I've clicked on automatically, for example "print" or "open link". Has anyone else had problems with their mouse?

Has anyone else had problems getting used to their mouse and how the clicks work or don't work on the internet? I click and it doesn't automatically do what I click on. So frustrating!

Hi ndearborn0273!
This is most likely just a settings issue with your mouse that you are able to change through the System Preferences. I have an article for you that can help you set this back to default, and that article can be found right here:
Mac Basics: Set your preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
Specifically, you will want to pay close attention to this section of that article:
Customize your mouse
The Mouse preferences pane looks different depending on what kind of mouse you use. These settings let you set the sensitivity of the mouse to control how fast the pointer moves across your screen when you move your mouse, and adjust for your double-click reflexes. Other controls may be available, depending on the type of mouse you're using.
Open System Preferences.
Choose View > Mouse, or simply click Mouse.
To control how fast the pointer (cursor) moves across your screen when you move the mouse, click Point & Click and use the Tracking slider to adjust speed.
If Double-Click Speed appears, you can use the Double-Click slider to adjust speed.
If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use the Scrolling slider to adjust speed.
To change gesture settings, click the More Gestures tab. You can enable and disable gestures for swipe and Mission Control.
Judging by your post, I believe your secondary click setting is set to use the left side of the mouse. The default set up for a former Windows user to be most comfortable would be having the secondary click set to the right side of the mouse, as is shown in the picture I have inserted above. Note that these settings will be explained by the little video on the right hand side of this window as you hover over the description of the action on the left hand side.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how. Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
Open System Preferences
Go to "Security & Privacy"
Click the lock and enter your admin password
Click the Firewall Tab
Go to "Firewall Options..."
Find KodakAiO
Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
Click "Show in Finder"
Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
or
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

While viewing web sites the screen suddenly jumps like it is resizing itself. Doesn't matter what site I'm on. Also I have to click links/back button at least 2 times to get it to respond.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Mouse won't click!

This is driving me crazy. I have a wireless bluetooth mouse made by Rocketfish. It won't left-click, but the right-click works for some things. To me it seems like the right-click has taken some of the functions that the left-click used to do. I can select menu items, but I can not click any buttons. So here is the situation.
From the login screen I can r/c and select my profile.
Type in my password and hit enter. That gets me into the desktop.
Immediately I get a message telling me about my computer haveing been restarted after an unexpected shutdown and a iCal notification about an appointment last week. I can't do anything with either of these windows. They don't seem to function like normal windows, so close all doesn't work. The only way to close them is to click the button in the window which I can't do.
So now I am trying to reset the mouse or look at help topics using the combination of the mouse and keyboard, but any window that pops up is hidden by these other two windows, and I can't see what I need to see. Nor can I click on any of the options.
I've changed the mouse with a USB mouse, and even used the mouse off my PC. All do the same.
I tried booting in safe mose, but that didn't fix the problem.
I read somewhere about booting from the disk, but I don't know how to do that. Also someone suggested restarting the disk utilities or something. When I tried that, I got to the point where I needed to click the button and could go no farther.
I have a sneaking suspicion my 11 year old was playing with something she shouldn't have like the universal access stuff, but she won't admit it and I don't know how to fix it.
I'm an old PC user, so if you guys have an idea how to fix it, please be gentle with the mac-lingo. Also keep in mind I can't click on anything, so keyboard shortcuts are a must.
Thank you for your help.

Hello again:
While you are asking people +"did you read"+ - did you read my post about an archive and install?
Are all of the USB devices you tried non-Apple?
Since your keyboard seems to work, try resetting the PRAM and SMU (I cannot link to the specific knowledge base article re: SMU as your profile gives no indiction what Mac model you have).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

By the by, since none of us have seen a similar problem, all of us are trying to troubleshoot YOUR problem from long range. It is unhelpful to blame Apple for something that is localized to your system. It is also way out of line to tell an experienced (volunteer) poster to +"Keep their trap shut."+ Your attitude will have you asking questions of yourself since no one here will bother to help you if you display that kind of hostile behavior.
