Secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec

*Secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec even if still pressed* since upgrade to snow leopard. I have to use extra switches attached via USB being unable to move my arms.
Apart from that Airport works after adding Location, I am still not able to access internet or mail, skype and time machine backups work. Switching to my neighbours unsecured WLAN I have no problems accessing mail and internet.
A guest with a PC was also unable to use my WLAN, he was able to connect (gave him password) but could not use internet.
Any ideas? The "secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec" issue seems not to be posted yet.

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

UNIX Script to enable secondary mouse Button by Workgroup Manager OSX Server 10.6

Dear Apple Pro's
I've got a question. Iam Working in an Educatinial sector (schools) more than 300 mac's. We got 2 Xservers where one is a management server. I'm looking for a longtime for a Unix Script, that can able our secondary mouse button. In the preferences from the workgroupmanger, there is no option for this.
I've have to add an application preference manually but i dont really know how to!. Apple script is not the way were usring ARD 3.3.
Regards,
Roderik

Perhaps it is the Mouse settings in the System Preferences. I don't have a Magic Mouse, and I know it has different preferences, so maybe you can enable or disable the secondary mouse button in that prefpane.
You would have to figure out what the preference is by looking into the com.apple.mouse.plist for a user that has enabled it in the system preferences.
When I'm hunting down plists, I open the user/Library/Preferences folder and put it in List view. Then sort by Date Modified descending so that all changed files pop to the top. Then I open System Prefs and go to the prefpane that makes the changes. When you change the setting in the prefpane, you should see the file pop to the top of the Finder list. However, if it is in the global prefs, you won't see anything changes. There is a hidden global preferences file which you can read in the Terminal with:
defaults read -g
You'd have to just read through the list and see if you can find a setting for mouse secondary click or something like that.
If you do see one change, open it and look for the setting.
The standard way to set preferences is with the defaults write command. Use man defaults in the Terminal to see it's syntax, but basically it is:
defaults write com.apple.mouse keyItem keyValue
Note that you don't need the .plist on the end. You'll have to figure out if the magic mouse has a different plist and what the dictionary keys are.
As an example, if the dictionary key is enableSecondaryClick and the plist is com.apple.mouse.plist, then the defaults command would be:
defaults write com.apple.mouse enableSecondaryClick 1
That's a one on the end indicating 'yes'. You sometimes can also use -bool yes or -bool no, depending on what it is expecting (but I've found 0, 1 and -bool no, -bool yes interchangeable).
Update: googling for "magic mouse disable right-click" I found two possible plists (and there is a setting, but I don't know what it is):
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist + com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist

You're not the only one. There's no real solution yet, but you might want to track

and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26213
Also, maybe add your weight to the bug report. I don't think we've really been noticed yet.

VNC issues: secondary mouse button and pixel depth.

Hi,
Recently I've started to manage a Windows PC running an UltraVNC server 1.0.2 with ARD 3.1. The VNC viewer in ARD 3.1 is very good and stable ( thanks for the reconnection mechanism wich is not present in other viewers ).
But I don't know how to adjust pixel depth for slow connections ( image quality control doesn't work ) and also I don't know how to send a right mouse button click to the remote PC.
Any idea ? Is it possible at all ?
Regards,
Joan

Gee, thanks for the helpful answer, sig.
I eventually found an uninstaller app in the Utilities folder that I was able to get to via the keyboard. Turns out it's the Apple preference pane that isn't taking into account the Microsoft Mouse one. I don't know if that's because MS didn't hook it properly or what, but just in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Can you check the value of property "AllowUserPersonalization" in Visual administration Services → Configuration Adapter → webdynpro → sap.com → tc~wd~dispwda - propertysheet
Also what is the exact version of this portal?

Mouse buttons not responding after software installation.

I installed software from Logitech for my new mouse. The cursor moves, but the buttons don't respond. I want to uninstall the software, but without the "click" feature, I cannot choose "uninstall" instead of the highlighted "Quit" in the dialog box. Is there a way around this problem? The mouse had been working just fine until I decided to install the software.
iMacDVD Mac OS X (10.2.x)

So what feature of the Logitech software is it that you want to keep? I'm not quite understanding you. My guess is though, there probably isn't a way to keep part of this utility. I'm guessing either or, but since I have no experience with this particular software I can't be sure. Could you tell us what mouse and what software in particular you have?

Marquee shrinks when releasing mouse button

I am editing at 100%, with square pixels, and no feather.
EVERY time I release the mouse button in CS6 (fully updated), the Info window shows the marquee dimenstions shrink by either 1 or 2 pixels (and I see the marquee visibly move as well). This make it IMPOSSIBLE to accurately to certain kinds of editing. I have to go back to my old CS3 to be as productive! (Current workaround: edit at 200%... but I can't see all I need that way.)
I am definitely not moving the mouse, because a) it is EVERY time, b) it is never more than 2 pixels, c) it is always a shrink, not an increase, and d) I use a trackpad: my finger is off the pad and no movement is possible, then I let go of the button and the numbers change.
Is there some workaround/fix, or is this just another bug?
TIA

I have now re-tested on a 2013 round Mac Pro D700, OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 (the latest).... and with TWO versions of Photoshop newer! PS CC 2014.
The exact problem remains in Photoshop CC 2014, albeit not all the time. (I guess that's progress?) But often enough to harm productivity, and it means I have to carefully watch and remember the XY numbers to use the marquee tool. It's nice and accurate before the mouse button is released... it just needs to KEEP the same values on release, and it shouldn't be difficult to insure that's the case. But it sometimes shrinks them.
Increase the zoom higher, and the problem happens less, but still sometimes. Zoom in far enough (300–400%) and the marquee tool starts to work reliably--except then I can't see the whole image I'm trying to select.
Also (related?) I have a retina (high DPI) display and the marquee isn't rendering accurately even before release: it's shifted by one retina pixel up or down. This is most obvious at 200% zoom, where you try to select full pixels and see them cut in half instead.
There's no justification for using different math (?) the moment the button lets go. This is a really basic tool, and I pay every month for it.... but the years go by with no fix. The software that charges my credit card seems reliable at least
Who should I contact to suggest the marquee tool be made to function at 100% zoom? Do I have any recourse available when a bug remains in three consecutive years of Photoshop? (I know the answer: choose a new career.)

Enabling back/forward mouse buttons in Dolphin

Hi,
I am new to Arch and am not completely sure yet on how to go about providing a solution that I found. I've searched the Wiki and the Forums for this issue and wasn't able to find a solution through any Arch site. I was, however, able to find a solution posted on the KDE forums and would like to share it with anyone who is suffering the same issue.
The original forum post can be found here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=85430. I will summarize it here though for convenience.
First, you must install xautomation which can be downloaded at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7312 and xbindkeys, which can be installed using Pacman.
Next, create a text file named .xbindkeysrc and save it to your home directory. The content of the file should be:
# For the benefit of emacs users: -*- shell-script -*-
# xbindkeys configuration #
# Version: 1.8.0
# If you edit this file, do not forget to uncomment any lines
# that you change.
# The pound(#) symbol may be used anywhere for comments.
# To specify a key, you can use 'xbindkeys --key' or
# 'xbindkeys --multikey' and put one of the two lines in this file.
# The format of a command line is:
# "command to start"
# associated key
# A list of keys is in /usr/include/X11/keysym.h and in
# /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
# The XK_ is not needed.
# List of modifier:
# Release, Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock),
# Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll).
# The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can
# use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events
# By defaults, xbindkeys does not pay attention with the modifiers
# NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock.
# Uncomment the lines above if you want to pay attention to them.
#keystate_numlock = enable
#keystate_capslock = enable
#keystate_scrolllock= enable
# Examples of commands:
"xbindkeys_show"
control+shift + q
# set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard)
"xterm"
c:41 + m:0x4
# specify a mouse button
"xterm"
control + b:2
#"xterm -geom 50x20+20+20"
# Shift+Mod2+alt + s
## set directly keycode (here control+alt+mod2 + f with my keyboard)
#"xterm"
# alt + c:0x29 + m:4 + mod2
## Control+Shift+a release event starts rxvt
#"rxvt"
# release+control+shift + a
## Control + mouse button 2 release event starts rxvt
#"rxvt"
# Control + b:2 + Release
# dolphin go back
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L'"
b:9
# dolphin go forward
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L'"
b:8
# End of xbindkeys configuration #
You then need to create an autostart entry in /home/user_name/.kde4/Autostart named xbindkeys.desktop containing the following code:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=xbindkeys
GenericName[en_US]=
GenericName=
Icon=
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=
Name=
Path=
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop
Now just reboot your computer and you should have back/forward mouse button functionality in Dolphin.

I know this thread is really old but I got the mouse buttons working using this solution (I have a 9 button mouse):
Firs make sure you have xmodmap installed on your system:
# pacman -S xorg-xmodmap
Then create the following shell script: ~/.kde4/Autostart/xmodmap.sh
#!/bin/bash
xbindkeys -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
then make the script executable
$ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/xmodmap.sh
Restart KDE and hopefully the forward and backward mouse buttons should be working.

Lenovo Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with Trackpoint: Middle mouse button and scrolling

I got this keyboard (KU-1255).
Unfortunately, it generates bogus mouse button events if I click the middle mouse button and use the trackpoint:
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" disabled, the middle mouse button is released as soon as I move the trackpoint while still pressing the button!
Expected behaviour: The middle mouse button is pressed, the event created. Moving the trackpoint moves the cursor normally. Releasing the middle button creates a corresponding event.
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" enabled, the button is registered as pressed, then scrolling occurs as I move the trackpoint and the button is released if I release it.
Expected behaviour: No middle mouse button event is registered if I move the trackpoint. Pressing and releasing the middle mouse button is only registered if I click the button without moving the trackpoint.
When will there be a firmware update available for the keyboard, like for the SK-8855?
Since I am also using Linux, I would be really interested in fixing this in the firmware, not only getting a new Windows driver.

Help please.

Custom Automatic Release for Billing Documents

Dear SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to make an automatic release after billing document has been created under our custom condition. I could not remove POSTING BLOCK option in VOFA since only some conditions could make these billing documents will automatically released.
Through the following thread (http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018810) says that it is posible to create the billing document and change manually the option to "automatic released" in the header but I still could not find how to do that.
Could you please advice me, is there any user exit that is possible to put our condition and make auto release of billing document? or at least how to create billing document manually via VF01 and change the option not to block payment?
Thanks.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi JP,
As I mention before, only in certain condtion the billing doc will automatically released so it is not always automatically released, that is why I could not turn-off POSTING BLOCK indicator in VOFA.
I finally found exit (USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK) that I could use to change the billing doc indicator for automatically released although it is not satisfied me 100% since this exit has been run twice (before and after save) and one of my auto release is to compare the net value in the header (before save, net value in header is still 0).
Thanks all.
Regards, Charlie

Why does the mouse button let go whenever I stop moving?

Any time that I try to drag something I run into this problem. I can start to drag, but if I ever stop moving the mouse, even if I'm still holding the button down, FCP just unclicks the mouse button automatically. Why could this possibly be?

What are all 4 Mighty Mouse buttons mapped to? Starting with left, then right, then scroll ball button, then side buttons. I only ask because it could be possible you are activating a different button when you stop, and the mouse switches to THAT function, thereby letting go of the left click function.

The right click menu pops up after I push the right mouse button, instead of when I release it.

I am using an extension All-In-One Gestures. It works on my other installation of Firefox 4 - particularly, the right-click menu pops up if I click right mouse button and then release it so I can perform gesture or turn the wheel instead of getting a right click menu.
But on this installation (basically the same addons and OS), the right-click menu pops up on pushing down the right mouse button so the right-button+wheel gestures do not work, and the menu stays there while I am performing the gesture which is rather annoying.
So I though maybe there is some obscure configuration option to toggle to make right-click menu pop up after the button release? Or is this entirely the extension's fault? Note that it does work as expected on other installation...

You have to enable in Firefox
-> Options -> Content -> Activate JavaScript (yes) -> More
-> Allow scripts the following actions
-> Inactivate or replace context menu (yes)
in order to allow All-in-one-Gesture to block the immediate appearance of the context menu.
If you forbid Firefox JavaScript and/or the manipulation of the context menu by use of JavaScript, All-in-one-Gesture cannot work properly.

When dragging and dropping files in Lion Apple Magic Mouse will not "let go" of file even after button is released

When selecting file or drive icon or text, the mouse will not release the item. Pressing esc will release item but only back to original location.

I presume drag lock isn't checked in System Preferences, but it sounds like maybe it's been set elsewhere, like by a corrupt prefs file? Can some OS X guru provide a Terminal command to disable drag lock just to be sure?
I have a problem, also on a new MBP 2010 i7 /10.6.4, that isn't the same but might be related. The time required for the system to "release" an item selected by the pointer is exceptionally long. And if I try to click elsewhere before the pointer has been released, it only serves to extend the time. It's annoying and reduces productivity.
Speed settings in Sys Prefs has no effect, and no other hardware is attached, using just the trackpad.
I hope there's a setting that can be changed via Terminal; can anyone suggest the right terminology for the parameter(s) that need to change?

Mouse buttons and keyboard randomly stop responding on secondary display

Hey,
I'm facing this weird problem after a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard:
In about half of the cases I'm switching to application windows on a secondary/external display the mouse buttons and Macbook keyboard are unresponsive. I have to keep clicking/pressing for some time or have to switch between applications to get them working, until they'll fail again after some time.
I tested it with two different external displays with VGA and DVI adapter, different screen resolutions, I tested the mouse and mouse software, both keyboard and mouse work fine with the same applications moved to the primary laptop screen, trackpad works fine too.
This occurred after the upgrade to Snow Leopard on a 2008 unibody Macbook. Updates to 10.6.2 didn't solve the problem.
I'd be happy if anyone could help me with this issue.
Thanks

You do not provide the full model number but if it is an AMD processor you are seeing the start of video issues that plague that series. The freeze is caused by bad video memory which is a part of the video card in turn part of the motherboard. I have been getting a high percentage of people who do not respond back to posts so I am not going to write everything about your issue; it could be a book. I am happy to help further if you have any questions. There are some repair options but at the end of the day, you might want to consider a new laptop.

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!
