Mouse troubles w/New OS

After upgrading my operation system to Mac OS X v.10.8.2, each time I turn the computer on it takes several minutes for my mouse to engage.  What's with that?

Whose mouse? USB or bluetooth?

  • Has anyone had trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button lately?

    Hi gang. Since v29 came out, I have been having trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button.
    Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times.
    Has anyone else had any problems? I use an add-on called
    '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mclickfocustab/?src=collection&collection_id=33bf10fa-666d-45a2-9bc9-491ce21671c6 MClickFocusTab]'''''
    I disabled it but the problem was still there.

    ''''' "Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times." '''''
    Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. <br />
    Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
    I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
    I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

  • I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded.  Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

    I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD.  I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

    Question.
    I look for integrated in the legend bloc of diaporama, a widget such as "Accordion" for, with a click, or passing with mouse, open a new legend for each photo. I tried with "Accordion" of Muse, it does not work. I tried copy/paste, mais no result. The widget disappear in bloc legend. disparaître. Have you one solution?
    Thank you,
    Loïc

    Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
    Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.
    Thanks,

  • I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

    I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

    Do you have alot of apps running in background? Tap home key 2 times and there's a list across screen with icons you can deselect them by hold on one and they wiggle touch the minus button and it will deactivate them untill you use them again. Do you have the phone dim after so many seconds or minutes? Is the screen bright all time? Do you go on the Internet or watch video on phone?
    These things can affect the hrs of use.

  • USB mouse trouble.

    I plugged in my old mouse to my new laptop here and it cuts in and out. The computer makes that little chime noise and then again and again cutting in and out. It has done this 2 two other mice. One of which was brand new. Is there anything I can do. I just got the computer 5 days ago for gaming and I can't use the mouse. It is pretty much useless without it.

    Have you tried another usb port??? , also try another device in that usb port, it sounds like there may be a loose connection on the port, what OS and mouse are you using they may not be compatable.

  • DVI connected external monitor now having mouse troubles

    Hi Everyone, I'm new. I recently bought a 27inch imac and a DVI adapter to hook up a second monitor. When the second monitor is plugged in and on everything is ok. When the second monitor is unplugged everything is ok. When the second monitor is pluged in but turned off my mouse skips LOTS. Like it lags a bit then will shoot off to the side of the screen. I tried other mice (apple and microsoft) and different mouse pads/none/paper and no difference. I rang applecare (before I realised it was to do with the monitor) and they told me my mouse was stuffed.... Im convinced the imac gets confused when anothe monitor is connected. Others on mac rumors are having trouble also... Any ideas please?
    Cheers
    Jaidan

    Hello,
    I can confirm this problem on my iMac 27" of Mid 2010.
    At first in June, when i bought it, i had no problem whatsoever connecting my external Samsung 226bw. It worked like a charm.
    After some time, maybe a month of daily use, the iMac refused to wake up the external monitor after waking from sleep mode. Now the problem only got even worse, as it now refuses to power up the external monitor when booting too.
    The funny thing is it springs alive after a random period of time. (between 2 to 4 hours)
    When the iMac is in its 'Im ignoring your external monitor, Sir' mode, my magic mouse is very jumpy and laggy, like described earlier on in this thread. When the monitor comes alive, the mouse behaves normal.
    Now i've been looking into this problem quite some time now on the net, and all i can find are mostly confirmations of people having the same problem.
    There are some suggestions here and there on what to do, like resetting nvram or the SMC, deleting windowserver preferences files etc, but none of them seem to solve the issue.
    Strange thing is that Apple doesn't move a word about this? At least an acknowledgment of some sort, letting us know they are aware of the problem and maybe try to fix it.

  • Bootcamp trouble with new hardrive

    After i got a new harddrive, due to the defective harddrives in the 2009-11 iMacs and Apple had to exchange them free of charge, I've been having trouble installing bootcamp in my Windows 7. Everything went smoothly with the partitioning and the installing of W7 and naturally I've had previous experience in doing so, so no trouble there. The problem arises when I try to use the OSX install dvd to install bootcamp. The disc kept spinning for a while and then just ejected it again. So i tried installing manually by downloading bootcamp from the support site. After finding the appropiate version (4.0 < ) I tried using the setup.exe as prescribed in the bootcamp installation manual, but to no avail. Apparantly the version is not the right one. So I deciced to try an older version (3.3) but got the message "The Boot Camp version currently installed on your system does not require this update." which was weird since i hadn't installed any Boot Camp!
    So far I have tried 3.3, 4.0.4255, 4.1.4586 and 5.0.5033 but neither of them seems to work. Have installed some of the non-Apple drivers, but i still can't communicate with neither my apple keyboard, my magic mouse or my OSX partition to name a few.
    Truly hope anybody has experienced the same issues AND gotten around them.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have a Late 2009 or older iMac, you need these Boot Camp drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 You can be sure that these drivers will work with your iMac, because Boot Camp 5 drivers are only compatible with Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs and newer

  • Mouse Troubles

    Hi everyone, I've been having troubles lately with my mouse. You see whenever I'm in Safari it'll track, but won't respond to clicking, so I'll try to click on something but it won't respond. After I quit out of Safari it'll only track, and do nothing else. The only way it'll work again is if I restart the computer. When this happened I replaced the mouse, and it still didn't work. Any suggestions or experiences?
    Details: -Downloaded new Safari about 4 or 5 weeks back.
    -Mouse won't scroll down ever (since first day I've had the mouse)
    -I haven't updated my mouse or keyboard software

  • Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

    I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
    When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
    Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
    Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

    Hi, marksaner
    You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here. 
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • Trouble connecting new iMac to exisiting PC/Linksys network

    I just bought a new iMac and am having trouble connecting to my existing Linksys wireless network. My PC connects wirelessly fine, and the iMac connects if I use the Ethernet connection. However, it says I have "Incompatible Security" when I try to use the built-in Airport wireless connection.
    My network is WEP encrypted. I use one of the encryption keys for my PC. I was using 10 128-bit hex. Is there anything special or unique I need to do for the Mac? For example, for the Mac do I also use the 10 or 26 character key, or just the "Passphrase" (as described by Linksys)? Searching the net, I have found old posts suggesting I need to use quotation marks or $ sign in front of the key, but that advice seems outdated.
    BTW - I am having the same problem with my new iTouch.
    Your help is appreciated.
    null

    Thanks for posting back when you found the solution.
    Just to close things up as to why this would be a problem:
    WEP allows for 4 different keys to be configured. Key 1 is used to encrypt the data sent out from the device (either client or access point). When data is received, either of Keys 1-4 can match what is received.
    Since OS X only uses Key 1, if Key 1 on your access point doesn't match, it won't be able to decrypt anything that the access point sends back.
    The other keys are very rarely used.
