Mouse errors

I am having issues with my trackpad on a 2007 Macbook Pro 15". Was working fine until the other day - maybe my kids hit a keyboard combination.
Anyway it's driving me nuts.
When I single click a file on the desktop it activates it and moves it around... if I click in finder window on the left, it moves the file away like you are dragging it, even when you are not. Same with the dock.. when you click something in the dock, and let go, it's like it's still connected, and moving the mouse deletes the file from the dock, like you are dragging it.
It's like the single click attaches the file or icon to the mouse, and then when you move the mouse, it drags the icon. If I click on a window it does the same, attaches itself to the cursor and moves around... a double click frees it. If I move my mouse over a finder window with files in it, it selects all the files when I move the mouse over, without any clicks.
I have tried a mighty mouse as well as the trackpad, both work the same.
Is there some setting that has been activated??? Any ideas?
Thanks, Russ

I also found this article on the problem, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2527877.
many folks there say that the problem was fixed when upgrading to 10.6.5, but I am running that and still having the problem

    If someone can solve it, great. But at lease tell me how I can stop the stuff from popping up in the console.

  • Magic mouse errors gesture

    Hi all,
    I've bought the new magic mouse, thinking that it will be probably more efficient than the mighty mouse.
    I really like the mighty mouse but i needed to change several times because of the ball which was out of order quite fast. ( i must have used 5 or 6 of it!!!).
    After understanding the magic mouse have not all the functionalities of the mighty mouse (only 2 buttons), i've still found it quite interesting, until 2 or 3 days ago when it began to have strange behavior.
    I can not hardly move folders, or mails for example from one mailbox to another one.
    It is really difficult to select a part a document.
    I am really surprised the item is working so badly.
    Does anybody have also some gesture errors?
    Cordially

    I am having the same problems. Slow track speed, loss of communication with the computer. I even moved my computer to my desktop and it has made no change. Hopefully Apple will see this and update the firmware or something to make this mouse work.

  • Cursor mouse error

    Hello!
    I have a problem with photoshop cs4 cursor mouse. When I click, the click isn't exactly where I had clicked. Is more down.
    What can I do?
    Tks!

    Hi Pedro, this has been discussed before at this forum. A short summary: The problem occurs when you are in full screen mode and the rulers are visible. When you open a document or a Smart Object or create a new document the cursor is displaced by about 10 pixels. You get rid of the problem by hitting the f-key. This changes the screen mode and forces Photoshop to redraw the screen.
    This seems to be independent from the graphic card you use, so I assume this is a bug and hope that Adobe will correct it soon.

  • Magic Mouse Error

    I have just bought a magic mouse and have done the necessary updates - however on system preferences it will not now allow me to click on 'Mouse' to make any changes. If I hover over the icon it says - "your access to this preference has been restricted" I am the only user on this Mac and am the administrator. I have tried going to to the reseller and they couldn't help...

    Hi
    I have tried both suggestions - even downloaded a bit of software called MagicPrefs which has worked for a while and then...it has now locked me out of that application!!

  • Mouse or cursor lib error....

    Following on from my thread "newbie install report and questions", this is the mouse error I'm getting:
    In KDE Control Center -> Peripherals -> Mouse:
       There was an error loading the Module.
       The diagnostics is:
       /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kcm_input.so: undefined symbol: XcursorLibraryPath
       Possible reasons:
       An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
       You have old third party modules lying around.
       Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message.   If        this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.
    This is a clean install so don't think there are any "old third party modules lying around"!
    Any ideas?
    Cheers, Renners

    I'm not using kde but looks like it's some kde bug since people from other distros also experience this (just did a quick search for error message with google).
    But I found no solutions so far. Meanwhile you should be able to use xset to setup your mouse settings if you need it.

  • Magic Mouse will not pair

    I have installed fresh batteries, tried repeatedly to connect via BT with no results. I get the no mouse found message. It had been working great until I booted up from OS10.4 on another drive. Suggestions please? My DLink BT module is lit, then goes out.

    Also, I checked the Console when the pair failed and got this message:
    11/11/11 11:05:01.640 AM Bluetooth Setup Assistant: Pairing failed with 'Dirty Mouse': error 0x22

  • Form with only 1 text field + ENTER: Error 404

    I have several JSP pages with forms to enter/edit data. As long as I use the mouse to click the submit buttons, I get no errors. If the form has more than 1 text field to enter, i can also edit one of these text fields and press the ENTER/RETURN key which has the same effect as the submit button clicked with the mouse. But if a form just has 1 text field, I get the following error when I press the ENTER/RETURN key (instead of clikcing the submit button with the mouse):
    Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    This is the same case on all JSP pages that only has 1 text field: they work when using the mouse by pressing the submit button but fail when using the ENTER/RETURN key.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this?

    I believe that text inputs can have their own action
    attribute, so providing the same value there as in
    the form may help (though by default it should defer
    to the form's action).
    So try something like:
    <form action="x.jsp">
    <input type="text" name="..." action="x.jsp"/>
    </form>
    That doesn't help. The addresss bar is also always the same as the jsp pages are displayed in a html frame.

  • RS480M-IL: PS2 post error

    Hello everyone,
                         I just recently purchased a RS480M-IL. It is working fine; however, I'm getting a PS2 mouse error not found. I'm using a USB mouse. While an adapter from USB to PS2 would fix the problem. I don't understand while would this be an error?

    Since Bios 1.4 was released in late August, I assume you flashed to that release.  Did the problem occur with the prior Bios?  Did you remember to disable the "Flash Bios Protection" function with "Boot Sector Protection" Bios setting and change the Bios Write Protect Jumper for flash?  Also, it's sometimes best to clear CMOS after a flash.  Did you clear CMOS?
    I downloaded your Manual to see what options are there for Mouse and PS/2 vs. USB.  I see two of interest.  Have you tried alternate settings?
    Resume by PS/2 Mouse  [Disabled/Enabled]

  • Can't remove album rating from an album

    For some reason I can't remove the album rating from one of my albums in iTunes 7.6. I can change the rating, but if I swipe the cursor all the way to the left (which removes all stars on other albums) I get weird, hollow stars that then revert to a four-star rating when I play a file.

    That was it. One song had a rating (probably dues to a random mouse error lol - I usually don't rate songs).
    Thanks.

  • Problems after cleaning my notebook

    I cleaned my cpt with wet piece of cloth! Started my nightmare, cpt was not able to boot keep getting USB drive errors mouse errors or keyboard errors on BIOS.
    After finally boot but keep turning off itself. Dont know what to do!

    Computer or notebook cannot be cleaned with wet piece of cloth. Wetness is very dangerous for electric components. I am afraid some electronic parts are wet now and this is the problem.
    Who knows how you done this?
    Anyway leave it for a while or try to have it dry again and check if you can use it again in hope it will work properly. Hopefully you have not damaged board electronic.

  • Generating category tree failed! on secmon reporting

    This morning I wanted to create a new report in the security monitor of our vms 2.2 server.
    I selected reports and the definitions> create > ids alarms report and then proceeded to the try select some specific signatures from the ids signature dropdown menu below. In the part where the signature categories are meant to appear, there is an error message.
    “Generating category tree failed!”
    If I point at the error with the mouse
    “Error while building the SETI category tree”
    I have attached a jpeg file that shows the error message.
    Is this a bug and if so, how can we fix it?

    Once again, I guess I should search the bug database before opening new conversations. Many apologies for that…
    I found the bug in the bug database at Cisco. The bug is entitled
    “SecMon: cannot create report based on signature ID” (CSCsc31745)
    According to the bug:
    The report section tries to grab the latest signatures to include in the "IDS Signature" section, it does this based on the latest signature level then the latest service pack number. If there is say, 4.1(5)S197 AND 5.0(4)S197 installed on the VMS server, the report will try to use 4.1(5)S197 because its SP number is later. This fails and the "Generating Category Tree Failed" error is displayed. (auto signature download is responsible for that!!)
    The Workaround is to replacement a Java file that resolves this issue which can be obtained by opening a TAC case and referencing this bug ID.
