My scroll wheel click doesn't work anymore.

So, you know how you can open up something in a new tab in chromium by pushing the scroll wheel on your mouse in? Well, I used to be able to do that until recently and now it just flat out doesn't work.
Is this a hardware issue? My mouse is in fantastic shape and the scroll wheel works fine otherwise. I tried googling this but found some really old threads for xorg files that didn't exist or I don't know how to find.

X doesn't see you pushing it in. I'd check if it works in a different OS (e.g. Windows or Linux LIve CD).
Does the wheel move down when pressed? Maybe you could fix it by disassembling the mouse.

Clicking doesn't work anymore

I have a 15" MacBook Pro dating from mid 2009. Since the update to Mavericks clicking doesn’t work anymore, at least not properly. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes I have to use right-click instead of left-click. Repairing access rights (hope this is the correct translation from German "Zugriffsrechte") helped only partially. Any incompatabilities known in this respect? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Wheel click does not work anymore

Hello, as an internet heavy user I use to open links in new tabs. That was very easy using the mouse wheel click. But since last update it doesnt work anymore neither Firefox nor Safari.
I have a logitech mouse [1] and that's what I have checked prior to send this message.
- Mouse is plenty of battery charge.
- Latest version of Logitech Control Center.
- Mouse wheel click button is OK because it works if I change the action to perform with the wheel click with Logitech control center (e.g zoom)
- Firefox about:config stuff related to wheel click is OK
Any clue or anybody suffering the same sypmtoms?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you may have a potential hardware problem. It would be best to contact apple and have them diagnose what is going on

IMac freezes & Time Machine doesn't work anymore

Hello,
For several days now my trusty iMac (two years old) keeps freezing without a recognizable pattern. Programs like iTunes, iPhoto or maybe even the Finder just stop working and display only the rotating ball - the only thing left to do for me after that is to manually terminate that process or (in the case of the Finder) to restart the whole iMac. I'm really clueless as to where this behaviour suddenly comes from, up until about a week ago the iMac worked perfectly. And now something like this happens every single time I start it.
Another thing that doesn't work anymore is Time Machine. My last automatic backup is from September 17th. After that it just stopped working. Every time an automatic or manual backup is initiated it just says "Searching for backup volume" but doesn't find it, even after several hours of looking. The Time Capsule itself works perfectly, no errors whatsoever.
My iMac is up-to-date, I also already ran the disgnostics of the hard drive program - everything seems to be fine. Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance,
Paul

BAD TV effect doesn't work anymore.

Hi friends.
My BAD TV effect in Final Cut Pro X (release nr. 10.1.3) on my iMac (iOS 10.9.5 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.33 GHz, 6 GB ram ddr3, 1 TB hd) doesn't work anymore.
Clicking a clip and then moving the mouse over the effect does't make it previewing the effect; applying the effect results in a black clip in the Viewer.
It's the only effect not working.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Project is 1280 x 720 at 50 fps.
Media Spec are 1280 x 720 at 59,94 fps (Gopro) and 1920 x 1080 25 fps with a photographic camera (don't know name and model, it's of a friend of mine).
I tried the effect on both media specs. And... sometimes in preview mode (media selected, scroll on effect) it works, but when applied the clip goes completely black. If I uncheck the effect, clip works ok.
It's like FPCX could not render the clip...

Time Machine Just Doesn't Work Anymore

I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.

Marcia,
Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if any of this helps.
Cheers!

Link to a file doesn't work anymore

I repeteadly made this experience: I link some text to a file and upload it via .mac. However, when I change the file, the link doesn't work anymore. Even if I set up the whole thing again and upload it, it doesn't work.
Seems like I get one chance per link and that's it.
Does anyone know how to get the link working again?
Message was edited by: Christian Stahl

I just started using iWeb last night for the first time and ran into the same (or similar) problem. I did it kind of backwards but that shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. I also came across another problem with text which was not supposed to be a hyperlink but ended up being one and one I couldn't turn off.
I created a text field, typed in some text, then made the text an active hyperlink and attached the link to a file. That first one worked OK. Then I copied and pasted that text field about ten times, changed the text slightly and set each text field to another different file link. I then published and tried the links using Safari. The first few links worked fine and the files were automatically downloaded to my downloads folder. However, clicking on the last few links downloaded files from the other previous text links instead of the ones they were supposed to even though the inspector shows the correct files. I even tried doing new text fields and new links but they still don't work correctly.
The other problem is that I created some more text fields to be used as descriptions for the file downloads by copying a hyperlinked text field. I realized after the copies were made and I had spent some time changing the text that these text fields carried over the linked hypertext attribute. Since I didn't want to type everything out again from scratch, I just turned off the hypertext link attribute in the inspector. However, after I saved the web site and then published the site, I discovered that the text was still linked to a file download. I went back into iWeb and that hypertext checkbox was now checked. I turned it off several times but every time I publish, it turns it back on by itself.
I am going to create the entire page over again from scratch and try the method of dragging files from the finder to initially create the link (got that from the help file).
Also it would be nice to have better/more file download features in iWeb such as being able to access a file picker where the web user could select files s/he wanted to download instead of requiring one button per file. Also, some way to automatically compress into one download a selection of several files.

All of a sudden, report doesn´t work anymore

Getting really tired of this whole SCOM-thing the last days.
Now the reporting doesn´t work anymore. We changed NOTHING.
State went from Zero to Healthy 4:14 PM on friday last week. Alright.
But a few hours later, when nobody was here anymore, it changed to EROR.
How can that happen?
Reports are EMPTY suddenly. You can't start report-tasks anymore. They disappeared.
We checked:

- Display name is wild numbers+characters, is this normal?

Hi,
Generally these errors are caused by improper SQL SRS configuration, to confirm SRS is initialized correctly, are you able to navigate to http://localhost/reports or http://localhost/reportserver?
Are you upgraded to SP1 RC yet and have you the latest versions of the MP' as a lot of these reporting issues have been resolved?
Also re-check all your SRS accounts have the relevant permissions and all permissions in IIS are correct?
You could try resetting the SRS configuration and re-install Reporting.
1. COPY the ResetSRS.exe file in SupportTools folder of the OM 2007 media to
C:.
2. Open a Command Prompt and change your path to C:.
3. Type "ResetSRS.exe MSSQLSERVER" where MSSQLSERVER is your SQL instance
name.
4. Then open Reporting Services Configuration Console, select Web Service
Identity and click Apply.
5. Finally, reinstall your reporting service by running OMSetup.exe again.
In addition, please provice the event ID under event vierwers, so that we could analyze it further.

Hope this helps.

Artwork doesn't work anymore

I all used to create artwork in Photoshop CS4 then dragging them to the artwork window in iTunes (9.2.1). Suddenly it doesn't work anymore. All I get is a black image, and if I go in Infos, my image is a very small dot that I can barely manage to click and delete. My image resolution in Photoshop is that same as before, 8 bit, RGB, usually around 4 '' x 4 '' at 72-100 dpi. Jpg format in general.
Was there an update at one point what changed to way artwork can be import or translated in iTunes. It's getting annoying

There are a few other threads on this. I too usually use photoshop to clean-up/scan/create almost all of my cover art. So not being able to drag and drop- especially when this feature has always worked before, is a huge pain/problem.
You can no longer drag drop or even cut & paste art from photoshop into itunes. Also, you can no longer copy art FROM itunes into photoshop.
I hope this is something that apple will fix, but I wonder if they even care that this is a problem...

Reveal in Finder, doesn't work anymore

Using iMac 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Since I have upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.1 and 9.4.2, using menu «Reveal in Finder» (original or modified photo) doesn't work anymore.
This menu was working fine beforehand.
Could it be related with the last upgraded version of Java (version 7, upgrade 9) ?
Thanks for your advices.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Pinching in Safari doesn't work anymore..

In ML it was possible to pinch and get an overview of your tabs.
As I discovered recently this doesn't work anymore.
Pinching to get tab overview doesn''t work anymore and pinching to zoom in/out either.
Any solutions or thoughts on this issue? Perhaps involving the recent Safari update in ML?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Internet links doesn't work anymore within my Outlook

My internet links within my Outlook doesn't work anymore when I click on the link (I got a system problem). Anyone who knows what settings I need to do?
Thanks

That being the case, I think the default setting must be corrupted. See here on how to reset: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/706
Or open control panel, go to Default Programs, and then Default settings. Change the file association for Interner Explorer. See if that works
