Mouse doesnt work when logging in

A couple of days ago I turned on my computer, and there was another profile, labeled "Guest Account" next to my name. My mouse will move around, but will not click on anything. In order to log in, I have to start typing my name, and then hit enter to select my profile. Once I am logged in, my mouse works just fine. I did not tell it to activate the "guess account", and it wont let me turn it off. I also dont know why my mouse randomly chooses not to click while Im on this screen. I am running OS Lion. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? :-/

Why this path doesnt work when there is "!DOCTYPE" element?

Hi, I need to extract contents from an xml file, which looks like
<hr />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//ES//DTD journal article DTD version 5.0.1//EN//XML" "xyz501.dtd" > 
<article docsubtype="fla">
<item-info>
<jid>YANBE</jid>
<aid>12941</aid>
</item-info>
</article>
<hr />
And I have tested with this path "//article/item-info/jid/text()", but it doesnt give me anything. But I noticed that when I remove line 1, it does extract the content "YANBE"...
why the path doesnt work when there is that DOCYTYPE element? How should I get around with this please?
Many thanks!

The extract of XML you gave is not valid (Line 1: <hr/>) but besides that ... I think your problem is in the DTD.
Somewhere in the DTD it probably 'sneakily' defines a default attribute which in reality is a default-namespace for one of the elements. This means that in your XPath handling, you will have to map a prefix to a namespace-uri (NamespaceContext [1]) and use this newly defined prefix in your XPath expression.

My time capsule doesnt work when its conneted direct cable modem, and it start working from netgear router

I just bought a Airport Time Capsule, time capsule is connected direct from wan to cable modem (it doesnt work). when i connect it to lan port 1, it start working. normal process i know is from cable modem to wan port. 2nd i notice, network is on bridge mode. so my question is how do i make it to work from modem to wan port.

What model is the modem? Is it a pure cable modem or a combined modem router?
This maybe important as the current model TC does have issues with some of the popular cable modems.. SB6121 or 6141 being often the ones complained about here.
If it is a pure cable modem (most will have just one ethernet port). Then power down the modem for 20min. This allows enough time for the MAC address of the first device connected to be lost at the ISP end so it is ready for a new router.
The TC must be in dhcp and nat mode.
Please factory reset the TC and start over.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
By default the TC is in router mode after a reset.
Restart the modem.
The power up the TC and run through the setup utility.
The TC should then be accepted as the main router in the network.
If this fails check the WAN ip address. If it is 10.x.x.x or some other private IP you did not turn off the cable modem for long enough.. Try again only this time leave it off longer. (Some ISP it is just 5min.. some 15.. some will require 60min or overnight).

Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi Apple,
iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi,
If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
3. Click "Reset.
4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.

How do I get 3rd party photo software to work when logged in as myself?

As someone who works with expensively in photography, Aperture is one of my main software programs for processing photos, Now, with Apple apparently no longer supporting Aperture in the near future, I need to find a replacement. I have spent years avoiding anything made by Adobe except Reader, but bit the bullet and purchased an out of the box (not monthly rental) version of Lightroom, When I opened it after downloading, it didn't work. I kept getting an error message about the modules not changing properly. After searching for an extended period of time for how to contact Adobe tech support by phone, I was left to attempt to find a fix through their support community similar to this one. I received a couple of emails that attempted to help, but none of them worked, or allowed me to use the program at all, until it was suggested I log out and then log back in as another user to see if that works. So I did that and redownloaded the software as the new user and it worked perfectly.
But when I logged back out and then back in as myself, I was back to the same issue as before and I still can't use it as myself. This is highly problematic, given the number of photos I have access to when logged in as myself. Besides, I want to be me, not a different person.
Is there anyone out there that can give me a "For Dummies" explanation of how to get the stupid software to work as myself instead as someone else? I already tried several times to uninstall and then redownload the program, but that didn't help. (God, I hate Adobe software!)
Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Frank:
You make good points. Please allow me to make a couple myself:
1. I am a serious photographer. And the first place I go with my RAW files is Aperture. I love Aperture. I also understand that it's not going away, so I will continue to use it. But if all the articles appearing in photography-related publications are correct, it eventually will be far behind newer versions of other photography software. It would be similar to something like if all my friends were using Mavericks OS, but I continued to use Panther OS. They would be far ahead of me in ability to do terrific stuff. Should the prognosticators prove correct about Aperture, then I will eventually need a replacement to stay current. In reading a plethora of articles, many of which were comparative from one photo app to another, I reluctantly decided to go with Lightroom. I dislike Adobe, hence, my reluctance. But it seemed the best of a series of poor replacements for Aperture. I didn't want to pay Adobe an annual fee equal to the cost of a single out of the box Lightroom product, so I did go out of the box in this instance. And my thought is that while I will continue to use Aperture for the near future, it might behoove me to practice on Lightroom so I am familiar with it if I eventually abandon Aperture.
2. Your second point is that this is an Apple forum, not an Adobe forum. Point taken. I have always gotten terrific assistance when I come here for help. I went to the similar community in Adobe and the responses I got there were not as functionally helpful as what I usually get here. And since it seemed that it was eventually found to be a user issue, rather than a software issue, it would seem that a community of Apple users would be of more assistance than a community of 3rd party software users. So I came here. And what do you know? It seems that the information I received here was far superior/helpful to what I got over there. It turns out my faith in the Apple community was well-placed.
When I get back home from work this evening, I'm going to take the info I received from Leonie and yourself and attempt to resolve my user issue. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse doesnt work with mac os x 10.4.5?

I just bought a Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse in japan to use with my powerbook running os x 10.4.5...the mouse doesnt seem to work with the native bluetooth system. so I plugged in the supplied reciever and could get the mouse to move the cursor, but only that. buttons dont work. I down loaded some kind of device manager from the logitech web site but just as the apple bluetooth manager it does not "discover" the mouse.
I noticed that the system requirements for the logitech device manager is osx 10.3 - 10.4.2 so im wondering if my system is to new for this product.
all this i found out after i bought the mouse, and it is a little irritating...it said it was mac compatible on the box...
should I be waiting for an update from logitech or apple concerning this problem.
or is there an easy fix/ anyone else have this problem?
thanks

Hi, © ! — or do you prefer Ulfur?
What model? "A Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse" covers a lot of territory. For example, I have a CordlessOptical11 mouse that's several years old — and IrDA, not Bluetooth. This Logitech page contains a chart defining the name and "device model string" for each product, based on the M/N stamped into the bottom of your mouse. Better safe than sorry: Logitech's support — particularly for Mac folk — can be somewhat challenging. [1]
From there, you might try to confirm that you have the correct driver from Logitech's Support »» Downloads »» Mice page —
— but, Oops! — unfortunately, it may only link to Windows-compatible drivers.
Logitech has used their own patented RF technology for years — and some of their "Bluetooth" products "may not" actually provide Bluetooth functionality in Macs. (OK, that was tongue-in-cheek: I really mean "do not.") The mice usually work, though.
AFAIK, Logitech Control Center 1.6.2 is their latest driver for USB mice. (They have other mouse drivers, too.)
However, as this page explains, their V270 Bluetooth mouse supposedly doesn't require a driver separate from what's provided by Apple.
You may want to search this forum for differing views on this. Also, go to this Logitech user forums page and click to select the Macintosh forum. I won't deny you the (dis-?)pleasure of reading about others' experiences...
[1] Sorry, I don't mean to be as discouraging as I've probably made things sound. Most Mac folks have actually had pretty good experience with Logitech USB and Bluetooth mice — but Logitech Support's attitude toward Mac users could be improved. Please check things to confirm what's what — then post back, and I — or someone else who's using an MX900 or MX1000 or V270 or whatever Logitech mouse — will try to help further.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Sincerely,
Dean
[2] The links I've provided all work within Logitech's US website (I just tested). If appropriate, you may want to start fresh from the Logitech home page and find comparable international pages.

LoadVariables, works in DE, doesnt work when published

Hi guys,
I need some help with a Flash App I've made, it uses
loadVariables to load in values from an ASP.net page, it works fine
in the development environment, but when I publish the App as a swf
file it doesnt work.
My code is this
loadString = "
http://www.mySite/myPage.aspx?functionId=getQuestions"
+ "&rand=" + randomNumber;
aspxInterface.load(loadString);
aspxInterface.onLoad = processQuestions
the processQuestions function then assigns the returned
fields into flash variables.
I know that the link stored in loadString is correct as I can
go to the webpage and see the variables on there. And I know my
code is right as it works every times when I test the movie in the
development environment.
Does anyone know if there could be anything that changes
between developing and publishing that I am not considering? Or
anything else which might help?

Arrgh! I was so sure I'd tried that already, but you're right
it worked.
Still seems strange that I can't put the full URL in,
probably a security feature.

Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2. Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB). Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost". I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
Weird. Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

Panel.visible=true doesn't seem to work when logged in.

Hello,
I’m tryin to make a flex application. When a user logs in there appears an extra panel. I’m trying to make this work with pnl.visible=false and when logged in pnl.visible=true. But somewhere there must be an error cause the panel is not seen, when logged in. On the base state you have a login button which shows the loginstate when clicked. There you can give username and pass and a button which starts the function checklogin(event). All the code in this function works, except the pnlmonbeheer.visible=true., because when you log in successful and you go back to the base state and you then go to the ‘statetoeristingelogd’ state, the panel is still not visible. Here the code:
private function checklogin(evt:ResultEvent):void
                        if(evt.result.loginsuccess == "yes")
                        _user = this.username.text;
                        currentState = "";
                        this.lblwelkom.text="Welkom " + _user;
                        pnlmonbeheer.visible=true;
                        if(evt.result.loginsuccess == "no")
                        mx.controls.Alert.show("Invalid username/password");
The other button on the base state leads you to the state ‘statetoeristingelogd’. The panel ‘pnlmonbeheer’ that I want to make visible is on this state and is set invisible because of visible=”false”.
<mx:State name="statetoeristingelogd" basedOn="statetoerist">
                  <mx:RemoveChild target="{button3}"/>
                  <mx:AddChild relativeTo="{panel2}" position="lastChild">
                        <mx:Panel visible="false" x="0" y="348" width="250" height="111" layout="absolute" title="Beheer Monumenten" borderColor="#DEE438" backgroundColor="#B9BBBC" backgroundAlpha="0.7" id="pnlmonbeheer">
                             <mx:Button x="8" y="6" label="Toevoegen" width="115" click="showaddmon();"/>
                             <mx:Button x="133" y="6" label="Updaten" click="showupdatemon();"/>
                             <mx:Button x="8" y="39" label="Verwijderen" click="deleteRow();"/>
                        </mx:Panel>
                  </mx:AddChild>
Somehow the panel stays invisible
Can someone help me please, thank you in advance..


hi,
enterState="pnlmonbeheer.visible=true"
add this event in your state as following
<mx:State name="statetoeristingelogd" basedOn="statetoerist" enterState="pnlmonbeheer.visible=true">
if pnlmonbeheer becomes visible then it means pnlmonbeheer dont have visibility from the function checklogin because it may be not added yet to the stage during the state change so you may set its visibiliy on enterState event
regards

Fn key can not work when logged in as a specific user

I use fn + (F1-F12) to control my MBP(adjust brightness etc). This setting works well for more than a year.
Recently, when I logged into my user account, I found I can not use fn+(F1-F12) to adjust setting anymore. When I press fn + f1, the result is equivalent to just press f1 without holding the fn key.
The fn key can work well when I am in the login screen, but after I type my password and press enter, the fn key will not function anymore. Even logout can not help.
If I log into another user (guest or newly created user), the fn key can work well. If I log into my account first, then another user, the fn key will be disabled until I reboot my machine.
It seems that my user account launched some weird applications that disabled my fn key.
I tried to disable as many login items as I can, but the problem still remains.

Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately I can't try your solution on the computer where the problem occurred because it is used in another course for the moment and is therefore not available. But I tried to recreate the problem on another computer. I created a restricted account and when logged in on that account I opened my VI and it worked fine... (all subVI:s were found). By default, the restricted account had Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read permissions for the MAX folder. So, I then unchecked the Allow-boxes in an attempt to recreate the problem, but the VI still worked on the restricted account. Then I checked the Deny-boxes for the permissions mentioned above, but the VI still worked. Since I couldn't recreate the problem I don't know if your solution is the right one, but at least I can draw the conclusion that it is possible to run my VI from a restricted account.
But I will try your solution on the computer where the problem occurred when it is available and I will let you know whether the problem was solved or not.
