Not the end of the world, multi button mouse problem.

Hi there, I have a Microsoft multi button mouse which works fine in Leopard. I have configured 2 of the buttons for Command+H (Hide), and Command+W (Close). The buttons work fine everywhere except one place, and that's System Preferences.
I have added a custom configuration for System Prefs, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem either. It isn't the end of the world, but it would be nice if it did work.
Thanks,
Anil.

Hi Topher,
I am using the latest driver from Microsoft, and the mouse works fine everywhere else except System Prefs. I haven't tried USB Overdrive because the Microsoft driver has a very nice front end which makes configuring the mouse very easy.
Thanks,
Anil.

I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

Wired Multi-Button Mouse for OSX.5 & PowerMac - Seeking Recommendations

I poked around at the Apple Store on-line and I saw many wireless mice and a few wired mice. I focused my attention on the wired mice because I am not interested in the wireless variety for my desktop and in several of the reviews it mentions incompatibility with OSX.5.
So, any OSX.5 users out there have any feedback on the good, the bad and the untrustworthy multi-button mice?
I like most of the Mighty Mouse features, except for the lack of a right click button (yes I can set the little scroll wheel button for that (and I have) but it just doesn't feel right to me).
Thanks.

Martin,
The Mighty Mouse does have right-click functionality, without using the scroll wheel. I'm not really sure why you think it doesn't. Nevertheless...
I really, really like all of the Kensington products. I have a Kensington Bluetooth Pilot Mouse Mini for use with my Macbook Pro, but I also have a USB "Studio" mouse that is still used with an older G4 tower, and it has delivered fantastic performance. This is a three-button mouse with a touch-sensitive strip in place of a scroll wheel, but I don't think they make this one anymore (unfortunately).
Perhaps the best thing about Kensington devices is the accompanying "Mouseworks" software. The software consists of drivers for most of their products (not necessary in most cases) and a new "preference pane" where the device's buttons and features can be configured and customized, even on an application-by-application basis. Very powerful tools.

If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

TS4002 on my iPad, when I check the "sent" mailbox, I see Emails from 2007, not the latest ones. This problem does not occur on my iPhone or MacBook

On my iPad, when I check the "sent" mailbox, I see Emails from 2007, not the most recent ones. This is not a problem on my iPhone or MacBook.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

Dell multi button mouse

I've attached a Dell mouse, which has left and right buttons, a track wheel, and two additional buttons which usually go back and forward in applications when pressed.
Looking at the mouse System Preferences Help file, it shows that if I have a multi function mouse, then additional options should come up, however these have not appeared.
Is there a way to get this mouse to work correctly? Although it's only for convenience sakes, it would still be nice to have these functions.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Pretty much all mice come with software for OS X to support their scroll wheels, extra buttons and such. I've been using a Logitech MX300 since the day I bought my G5. Works just ducky!

Setup multi button mouse

I have a nobutech bd-ms 140 external mouse that has 5 buttons. Anyway to set the buttons up through Snow Lep setup.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Does your Mac recognize it? (Menubar, System Preferences, Hardware, Mouse)
If it recognizes it as a generic USB two-button or three-button mouse, that's probably all you're going to get.
Unlikely that it has an OS X driver, since it is listed on the manufacturer's website, www.nobutech.com as a Windows USB plug-n-play mouse. No mention of OS X on the spec sheet here: http://www.nobutech.com/products/BD-MS140/specs.pdf

Turn multi-button mouse into single button mouse

I thought I would never want to go back to the single button mouse that Apple preferred until recently.
But now my 3 year old son is learning to use the computer and has a lot of problems with contextual menus popping up all over the screen. Is there any way to turn the right mouse button into a second left mouse button?

Hi, Wim T. If your son has his own user account on the Mac, you may be able to use the mouse's configuration software to set both buttons to do the same thing — in his account only. That would leave your own mouse-configuration preferences undisturbed. And I second Kappy's recommendation of USB Overdrive as excellent mouse-configuration software.

Three button mouse problems

I have a Kensington model#72123 right and left button with a third middle scroll button. I have Kensington MouseWorks software loaded. The problem is that I cannot get the center scroll button to work properly with Color. When I set a vignette and try to use to middle click inside the vignette shape to drag to soften the edges nothing happens. I don't want to have to go out and spend money on a new Apple three button mouse if this procedure can be done with the Kensington. Any body know whats going on here? Am I misinformed that the soften edges procedure can be done by dragging inside a vignette using the third button? Thanks.

Any body know whats going on here?
Yep. This application suffers from the operator's input through a mouse but control surfaces are still horrendously expensive.
That being said, I read in the manual quite awhile ago that you can manipulate any data with either direct entry or by middle-click and hold while dragging in the data entry box which is what I do all the time when creating the vignette soft edge. I have a Mighty Mouse as well as a Wacom mouse/pen that I use and while they do work by dragging the vignette edge, many times they don't. I find middle click/drag in the direct entry box to far more reliable.
If you want to drag the vignette edge, perhaps you'd have better luck contacting Kensington tech support?

Publish free iBook to only a few iPads, not the world?

Is possible to place a free book in iBooks2 on my iPad, and not in the iBookstore? I'd like to publish a course manual and have it available for only my students on an iPad. What I'm doing by the way is taking a course built in Word and used on an LMS, into iBooks Author and from there adding interactive content instead of on the LMS.

Figured it out. Just export the file from iBooks Author to your computer, then drag into iTunes. Didn't work at first (don't remember why). Synced with iPad and iPhone. Voila - my interactive book is there!!
This is really, really cool! In 20 minutes I went from downloading Author to dropping in some text, adding a movie and sound file, fixing some misplaced graphics and converting to an iBook. Also created a pdf version that looks a whole lot better than the Word version. That's an entire course!!

Is it possible to switch between whether or not the previously clicked button or link remains highlighted when you go back a page?

When clicking on a link in Firefox, it selects that link and takes the user to the connected page. If the user then goes back a page, different situations happen on different (but identical) computers. On some computers, the previous clicked link stays highlighted/selected and then the Tab key goes to the next link. On other computers, going back clears the previous selected link, in which causes the Tab key to start scrolling through item from the top of this page. Is there a way to set Firefox to do this one way or the other? Is this a Windows issue and not an Firefox issue?

You can avoid that by opening the link in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
The you can close that tab with a middle click on that tab after you are done and go back to the tab with the links.

My netflix account used to work, but now it does not. Only the "my account" page is accessible and not the main page. Major problem. Please help. I'd rather run an older version than one that doesn't work.

I believe I was running a 6.3.as.df,msad.f,masdf version of Firefox and my Netflix account was working wonderfully well. I happened to hit the quit button last time, instead of the save and quit button and for some reason, Netflix did not load properly. I cleared the day's history, as usual, and tried again. This usually works. I closed Firefox and tried to reopen it, but it said Firefox was already running, that I would have to restart my computer to solve the issue. I did that twice. Finally, I noticed Firefox was trying to download a new version -- even though I don't recall asking it to do so. Now I'm running 7.0 and my Netflix page doesn't work. I am logged in - great - but I can only access "My Account and Help" page and "Viewing History" but nothing else. Lame! I would love to know how to get this to work. I can't even pull up Netflix's main page on its own. All other websites seem to be working properly. PLEASE ASSIST!

If this were just a Netflix problem, why can I access Netflix through Internet Explorer and not through Firefox? I've been using Firefox to access Netflix for at least the past year and starting yesterday (12/6/11) Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that Netflix exists. I've tried the suggested Firefox "help" which was of no help whatsoever and may even have made life more difficult in accessing other accounts. Anyone know how to contact Netflix or Firefox by phone?

Sound bitrate not the same. Audio sync problem. Clip not segmenting.

Hi. I used FCP to edit various wedding videos. I have never had problems edditing my own videos in NTSC dv or hd. Somone asked me to edit their tapes wich have been recorded in PAL ( european) format. I don't know what amera or format they used but when i try to import them i keep getting the sound out of sync error. I checked and it seems that the sound is ok but would like to get rid of this error just to be sure. I am importing as dv-pal in fcp. any ideas as to how to find out the bitrate or sound type or how to get rid of this error? like i said in NTSC i don't have issues. Also in NTSC when i import a clip it segmets it to 1 clip per shot and for PAL it does not do that . It makes the whole tape one clip. Any sugestions? Thank you.

To check the audio sample rate easily in the browser just scroll the blue bar at the bottom of the browser. If you haven't rearranged the columns it should be around the middle somewhere.
Curious, is your audio out of sync in the viewer as well as the timeline/canvas? If it is in sync in the vieweruse Shanes multi-clip sequence trick to create a sequence with the correct settings. Control click on one of the clips, choose make multiclip sequence, then delete the extra muticlip sequence folder from the browser. As long as all of the imported clips have the same settings they will all fit nicely into this new sequence.
But... if the clips are out of sync in the viewer then you have a problem with the way they were captured.
You used the word import. Just to clarify, are you importing clips from a disk or hard drive that SOMEONE ELSE previoulsy captured? Or are you using the term import to describe capturing the footage into your computer from the source tapes yourself. Import and capture are two totally different things.
If you are importing data that someone else already captured and the audio is out of sync then you need to either recapture the tapes or get him to recapture them because they were no doubt captured with the wrong settings. If you are importing yourself, find out what camera they were shot with and get the settings.

Snap, Crackle, & Pop! Not the cereal but rather, Audio problems.

My 12 minute short has developed annoying audio Snaps, Crackles, and Pops. I saw a work around from a 2005 archived discussion that involves applying a blank title which works but now there is a pop at the end of each sequence that I insert.
Is there anything a bit more current as in, did Apple fix this audio glitch yet (not for me ...on imovie6). If not, is there an effect that I can set to last for 12 minutes so I can sync our voices to the footage of the animated characters and not have this distraction? Also, sometimes when I play the movie thru, the sound that is there gets out of sync with the video. I stop the movie and start up again and it corrects itself.
I have a maintainance program to repair permissions, dump cache, ect and have done that. Also re-installed the OSX software from a clean hard drive wipe and then upgraded to Tiger 10.8 (which the movie was created in). Any ideas?

Hi, Can you apply a very quick fade in and or fade out on the audio clips that are generating the noise. This works with Avid Express Pro, not sure if this will work with iMovie but you can give it a try. Are you monitoring the audio from the internal speaker, headphone jack, or are you running it through a mixer / amp / monitors, you could just be "clipping" audio (signal too hot) or the problem may be from within your external audio gear set up ( a bad patch cable, etc ) Hope this helps.

I see I'm not the only one with Cloud problems....

I did a search to see if others were having problems with the Cloud service. I started getting error messages on my desktop but didn't give it much thought because I don't care all that much about the desktop. But today I keep getting a message from the Cloud app....well I guess it's the Cloud app. It tells me to sign in...which I attempt to do....then it says I'm locked out and to go online and change my password. So I do that....still have the same problems on my phone....whatever I'm doing ...it stops and here comes the stupid app I guess asking me to log in to the Cloud. I use the new password and it still doesn't work. Then I checked the Cloud on the desktop...can't sign in to that either. So I have now attempted to call the number that has come up on my phone and on my desktop to call.... 800-922-0204...and after being redirected to some other number I've been on hold for over 15 minutes.
So anyway, now I see that lots of people are having Cloud problems and the really irritating thing is that the responses from the Verizon people are just no help whatsoever and they have this fake cheery sound to them...like they want you to think nothing is wrong and I haven't been on hold forever etc. etc.
Why not just admit that Verizon is having lots of troubles...looks like for at least a month but maybe several months....with the Cloud service?
Just admit it lol....
And then when it's fixed let me know. But then I guess they couldn't charge me for it if they admitted it.

This sucks. I go in with a phone problem, they transfer everything to the cloud to do a factory reset only to decide they will have to send me a replacement phone. So I spend the afternoon trying to get my photos and stuff off the cloud, only to constantly get an error. I don't want the cloud, I want my stuff and to disconnect. They have me on hold for 10 minutes, try 100 things again over the phone, then ask if I want to wait while they get a guesstimate on when the cloud will be up. I said no, they will give me a guess and either they will be right or they will be wrong. She was surprised by that answer!

Not the end of the world, multi button mouse problem.
