My mouse buttons not working correctly

I have my mouse set up to open dashboard with the center button, and spaces with the side buttons and it suddenly stopped working. I have checked it through preferences and it is still set up correctly. My husband and I split the computer into two users and it still works when he's logged onto his side, so I know the mouse isn't broken. Any ideas?

if you open your home folder, do you see a "Library" folder? if it's hidden, spotlight won't find it.
You can try from the Finder menu at the top, there is a "Go" menu. Select "Go to folder..." and type:
Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/
(where <your user name> is your user accout name, for example "Users/dianne/Library/Preferences/")
within this folder now open, you will have files starting with "com.apple.driver...."
one or more of those should say "mouse"
delete those.

Mouse buttons not working correctly

For several days now, my mighty mouse (another does the same thing) is frequently acting with left button like I am holding down option key to select a group, when it should just select a single item (ie, it grabs a group). I can use escape button or right button to stop this, but hard to manage it when working in email, or any area to select. This happens in any program I use. Right button works correctly.
During times that this is occurring, activating the dock will cause the animation to last a couple seconds to bring the dock to top of window.
I have reinstalled with archive, have gone back to another hd with 10.4.11 on it, and it keeps happening. When I reboot, I am coming up in safe boot, and have to do PRAM zap to get it to start in regular mode. What the heck gives?

My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Middle select button not working correctly?

I have a nano second generation and the select button in the middle is not working correctly. I have to keep pushing it and pushing it to get it to work and now it's not working at all. Any ideas?

Try Restoring it. If that doesn't work you need to have it serviced. You can either take it by an Apple Store and make a Genius Bar appointment or send it here:

Buttons not working correctly/consistently

I am working with a template that has 5 buttons on each slide Back, Next, Help, Pause, and Play
The Help button is set up to Jump to Slide with the correct target, but for some reason it doesn't work. In fact, sometimes when I click Pause and then click the Help, it actually resumes instead of jumping to the slide.
This is pretty basic stuff, so I am at a complete loss. The only thing I am wondering about is whether the fact that the lesson was originally done in Captivate 5 could be causing an issue.
Here's the way the action is set up.

I have had issues with buttons not working properly in Captivate 4. When it happens, it is completely random and not consistent. To get my buttons to work properly, I usually just exit out, and go back to the project and then they work.
Sometimes it takes me going back the next day for them to work. There's no rhyme or reason to it. The settings are all correct. I don't change a thing. I save, and go back to the project and the button is working all of a sudden. At least that has been my experience the last couple of months.

'Get Variant' button not working correctly for report

Hi,
I have created an internet service for a custom report. For some reason, when I click the 'Get Variant' button I get a popup, but it does not have any entries to choose from. It is blank. In SE80, the button works correctly. Any ideas?

I figured it out myself. I didn't have the parameter ~webgui set.

Paypal button not working correctly in Firefox but does with IE

On the Donate page of www.jnh-goneriding.org are several Paypal buttons with drop down options. When you choose anything other than the first line and click on Buy Now - when it goes to the next screen it only shows the first line - not the line you picked in the drop down.
This works correctly in Internet Explorer.

Firefox will show the link if nothing is blocking it...
In case an ad blocker, script blocker, or another extension is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

My wireless Mighty Mouse is not working correctly

I purchased a mighty mouse (wireless) for my powerbook G4, and it doesnt work anymore, i mean it works to use as a cursour but the scroll doesnt work and most of the time the right click button doesnt work, it used to work fine then it just slowly died down to where it isnt able to be used anymore, for an APPLE tech my order number is: W21988486, if you can let me know what to do if i can request an exchange for a working mouse or should i visit the local Apple store? thanks -Daniel ([email protected])

It looks like most of the problems seem to be with OSX 10.4+ as mine with 10.3.9 works fine. However, at one time I had the mouse pointer move, but the left click not working. All it took was two new batteries... all the functions (10.3.9 lets me have) came back. Scroll, left and right clicks.
I did test the batteries with a meter that were removed and they had 1.2 volt left in them of the 1.6+ that a new one has. So, my guess is that this little mouse is sensitive to a little power drop, less then I would of guessed.

[SOLVED] [Gnome 3] Move/resize with alt+mouse button not working

Hi,
Anyone have any ideas why I can't move or resize windows in Gnome 3 with the alt key + mouse button?
From what I've read it should be possible to do this in Gnome 3, or have they removed it?
The alt key works fine for other tasks, like alt+f4. By looking at xev the keyboard seems to generate a correct alt key as well:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 74162047, (-380,478), root:(2169,522),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Both the middle and the right mouse button works fine for other stuff, like pasting and opening menus.
Anyone have any ideas?

I suffer the same problems. metacity is already installed. Any idea what else I might look for?
And did it reactivate Alt+right-click to resize?
For geoffm and anyone who stumbles across this, as per http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … dows-again, you used to be able to use the gconf editor, but now it's (from the command line)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences resize-with-right-button true
This nearly did my head in back when it changed.. now I just have to find out how to change the behaviour that seems to have cropped up in latest gnome 3.10 update, where you have to click the _left_ mouse button to finish/stop the resize.. Quite annoying

Left mouse button not working and can't access hidden dock

This is really weird and just started happening in the past few week or so. My mouse pointer moves and I'm able to select menus and pull down menus with the right button but the left button does not do anything. Also, I have my dock hidden. When I move the mouse pointer towards the bottom of the screen the dock does not appear.
If I reset the Mac Mini everything goes back to normal again until the next time it happens. I have tried swapping to different mouse and the same thing happens. The weird thing is that if I connect to my MacMini from another computer using Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing) the right mouse buttons function properly from the remote Mac. This allows me to properly restart the MacMini. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Aleric,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

My mouse is not working correctly

I downloaded Lion and now my mouse doesn't work right. The rolling ball rolls in the opposite direction and the side buttons don't work anymore. Do I need to reset under system preferences--mouse? If so what settings should it be/ or is it something else?
Thanks

Edge S430 - Touchpad, Trackpoint & Mouse Buttons Not Functioning Correctly

Hi.
My new Lenovo S430's Trackpad works most of the time but sometimes just suddenly stops working and I have to restart the laptop using keyboard navigation Often this happens when the machine is under load like an antivirus scan or similar. Sometimes the Trackpad is also sluggish to respond, like it ignores the first touch.
The Trackpoint and mouse buttons (the ones above the Touchpad) work for the first 3-5 minutes after boot up and then suddenly stops working and doesn't start again until it's restarted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling most of the drivers (for various other issues) on the machine but it hasn't helped.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi there.
First of all, I'd like to say that Lenovo Customer Care have been extremely difficult to deal with and quite unhelpful; They are no longer returning communications and have seriously damaged any faith I had in Lenovo as a brand and the extended warranty I bought is useless. I cannot recommend their products to friends or collegues as a result.
Now that that is out of the way, what I've gleaned from the hours spent trying to get through to customer care and the minutes talking to them is that the problem is in one of three places:
1. Microscopic crack in motherboard (highly unlikely, but still it's a hypothesis thrown around by my computer tech friends)
2. The keyboard and touch pad connectors are improperly seated or faulty
3. The RAM modules are improperly seated or faulty
As far as I know there is no solution to problem 1 IF it is indeed the cause. I tend to apply the following process to try to cover both possible causes 2 and 3:
1. Remove keyboard and connectors from laptop
2. Remove and replace RAM modules
3. Remove touchpad connector (it looks like a tiny connector like how the two keyboard connectors attach to the motherboard)
4. Replace all connectors very carefully and ensuring that they are fully installed
5. Replace keyboard
That SHOULD do it in theory. It's worth pointing out that I haven't had to do this with my laptop since January, but the trust is broken. I used to have to do it at least once a week since I got it and it was a nightmare, especially in the middle of a busy college term.
I hope that helps.

Y50 touchpad let/right buttons not working correctly.

When I try to do a left or a right click my touchpad will only register it half the time. Sometimes have to click around 5-10 times before it will work. I can usually get the left click to work after only a couple of clicks, but the right click hardley ever works. I feel like the whole thing needs to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and got it replaced?? I bought it 4 months ago and its been not working pretty much out of the box. Honestly, although I love this comp, I completly regret buying it and wish I would have went with the toshiba I was looking at.

Hi Wheatleylabs,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you facing issue with touchpad in your Lenovo Y50 laptop.
Try to update the driver to the latest version and check for the issue, after the driver update if still the issue perstists then it might be issue with the touchpad as you have mentioned that its been only 4 months hence you can contact the Lenovo support and get it replaced, or you can also contact the nearest service center.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin. S
