Mouse doesn't work in Classic

Although I've owned 10.3 for a while, I just started using it full time. However, I have some documents that require me to use OS 9. Here is the problem:
When in Classic, the "click" of the mouse doesn't work on the Classic application or Classic menu. The mouse works fine in OS X or if I restart in OS 9.2.2 it also works. I got Classic to start using only the base extensions and that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas?

Hi Lauren:
Sorry, but I've got nothing to suggest. As long as you're not launching Classic from the Advanced tab of System Preferences (which by default would turn off the Extensions), I can't thing of any reason why the apple mouse wouldn't work properly in Classic. And as long as the software for the microsoft mouse was installed under OS 9, it should work properly as well.
The only thing I can suggest is Disk Utility: select your hard drive, then from the File menu, select "Fix OS 9 Permissions".
Hope you get things working again.

  • [SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work

    I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
    I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

    Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
    Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you!

    sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
    All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
    Mac also is platform and OS.
    Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.

  • RDP 6.0 Vista lefthand Mouse doesn't work

    When i connect to a Terminal client  with my Windows Vista my left hand lefthand Mouse doesn't work correctly (switch to right hand).
    With Windows XP and RDP 6.0 i haven't these problem.
    what goes wrong?
    Regards
    Walter

    First off, I can state with 99.9% certainty that this has *nothing* to do with USB vs. PS/2 mice, and since you don't have custom mouse software on the client, the driver on the client is irrelevant to the equation. The version of Remote Desktop you are using is the most up to date available, so upgrading won't help you.
    I suspect (this is just a theory as I lack a mouse to test it with presently), that the problem is not that Remote Desktop doesn't recognize the presenter mouse.  Rather, the Presenter mouse software that does the custom button swapping is only designed to work with the Presenter mouse.  It ignores the emulated mouse that Remote Desktop uses on the server to forward mouse clicks from the client, so Presenter settings don't get applied.
    Does the server's mouse software completely remove the check box to swap mouse buttons, or does it just offer an additional means of swapping mouse buttons?  If the check box still exists, you should be able to use it to fix the Remote Desktop problem.  If it doesn't exist, I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of solutions. The only possibility I can suggest is that while the client mouse software is not causing your problem, you might be able to solve the problem using the same weird mouse software that is causing the problem on the server.  As a test, you might try turning off mouse button swapping on the client, installing the Presenter on the client, and using the mouse button assignment mechanism it provides.  If it is bypassing the usually mechanism for swapping mouse buttons, it is possible that the Remote Desktop client won't detect the swap, and will pass the clicks on to the server inverted.  It's not an ideal solution, since in order to make it work in the long term you'd need to get another Presenter mouse for the client, but try it out to see if it *can* solve your problem.
    I will look into providing a mechanism to solve this more easily in the future (even if it is just a checkbox to allow you to force a swap), but any solution would not be available for quite a while I'm sorry to say.

  • Just upgraded to snow leopard and my intellipoint mouse doesn't work, does it not work with the later versions of the OS

    I just upgraded to snow leopard and now my intellipoint mouse doesn't work, I tried downloading a new driver and it installs successfully except an extension but it still doesn't work, is this typical of the OS higher than 10.4? Is there any way I can get around this problem?

    You need to check with the mouse's developer and see if it's supported or not. That information wouldn't be known by users on this forum.

  • Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

    Hi,
    I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
    I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
    which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
    but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
    work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
    I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
    when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
    so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
    ¿Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Allan Jones,
    I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
    but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
    Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
    for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
    is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
    special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
    they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Sometimes my screen starts to move on my iMac.    It's like it's trying to turn the page and it gets off center and the mouse doesn't work when it happens.  It usually lasts about 15 seconds or so and happens often.

    Sometimes the screen on my imac starts to shake like it it trying to "go to the next page".   When this happens it usually freezes up for 15 seconds or so and the mouse doesn't work.

    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. 
    Otherwise, work through each of the troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document as necessary.

  • Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

    Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.

    OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
    By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
    Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    Can you fellows/chaps <!--buggers--> at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?

  • Fit the window with mouse doesn't work after new update 10.9.2

  • Keyboard & mouse doesn't work when restarting from battery dying.

    When my battery dies, I go to put it back on the charger. Once it is done loading the main log on screen, neither the keyboard or mouse won't work for a good minute or so. Once the screen turns black, then comes back, it works. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Try plug an usb keyboard and a usb mouse. If the problem persists, you may reset the SMC and nvidia/PRAM memory.
    If that doesn't do it, run the Apple Hardware Test .
    Cheers,

  • I got Mavericks and now clicking my mouse doesn't work in many apple programs, is there anything I can do to fix this, and is Apple working on a fix for it?

    Clicking buttons doesn't work in calendar, preview, or updates, and it also doesn't work in fullscreen videos viewed on youtube.  Right click seems to work like a left click, but not for everything.  Clicking the mouse works in other programs.

    1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Mouse doesn't work in dropdown windows

    I can click on the menus in the command line with my mouse, but once the new window opens, I have to use my tab key, arrow keys and Enter key to navigate within that window.  The mouse simply doesn't work. 
    I'm running Windows 7, and working, of course, in the Cloud version of InD.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Adesso wireless mouse doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

    My Bluetooth  Adesso iMouse S100 doesn't work in Mountain Lion. It barely moves and constantly halts as if its driver is continuously interrupted. It is unusable. It worked beautifully in Snow Leopard.
    I don't believe the problem is in the mouse, but just for completeness the batteries are full strength. The Bluetooth control panel signal  strength for the mouse ranges from -50 to -48, which may be low but I'm  pretty sure was the same in Snow Leopard.
    Has anyone experienced and have a fix for this problem?
    Thanks.

    A mouse pad solved the problem. The Ikea Lack table I'm using is the source of the problem. Its table top surface is apparently scattering the mouse's laser and not reflecting it back properly. I have not experienced this problem with any other table I've used, wood, Formica, et al.
