Spaces can no longer be activated by a mouse button

I used to have Spaces activated by mouse button 4. This no longer works, even though it is still configured as such.
I know that SL is detecting my mouse properly, because button 4 works for other things. For example, I can assign mouse button 4 to "show desktop", and this works. So I believe it is a Spaces issue, not a mouse driver issue.
I have also tried assigning other mouse buttons (3, 5) to activate spaces, and it still does not work.
I can activate spaces using my keyboard or clicking on the dock icon.

Similar problem. I had "Activate Spaces" set to ^0. It stopped working after 10.6.1 update and no matter what I set it to, or whether or not the checkbox under Keyboard Shortcuts is on or off it will not work. Error sound (Ping) and, if in a finder window, selects the first item in the window. I know the key is getting through without getting caught by the right handler.
Is there a way (Terminal? Xcode?) to dig to the definition and see why ^1 will take me to space 1, etc. but only the main "Activate" won't?

Can no longer close tabs by clicking wheel button in FF-4

I have a basic optical mouse and extension Tab Mix Plus. I was always able to close the tab that I was in (anywhere within the page) by clicking the center wheel button. This was very convenient. I can close the tab by putting the mouse pointer on the tab bar and clicking the center wheel - but not as convenient as I have to make sure I'm on the open tab bar.

Does pressing that wheel work otherwise like opening a link in a new tab or starting auto scroll?
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Original iphone works but can no longer be activated for phone use????

I have one of the original iphones that works but I no longer use (as in I paid $700 for it when it first came out). I just gave it to my nephew and my brother tells me Apple and ATT don't support it and he's being told that it can't be set-up as a functioning phone? That the current version of itunes won't support it either? Does this make sense to anyone? Could this be true? I'm on my 3rd iphone version and the first 2 work I just upgraded so now the old phones can't be used? I gave the same nephew a much older flip phone that still works and it has phone service.... Thoughts?

This doesn't make any sense to me either. Are we missing some vital information or is he just mistaken?
Until this last November, I was using a Blackberry Curve. I was visiting a friend and complained about the trackball giving me fits. He went to his kitchen junk drawer and pulled out his very first iPhone 2g and tossed it to me. I've been using it ever since without issue.
If the phone is in proper working order, it should only take a call to AT&T to order an appropriate plan and sim card. The original iPhone is still fully supported by AT&T and iTunes. While iOS support does end with version 3.1.3 and more and more apps do require iOS4, it still affords a very reasonable user experience. So reasonable, in fact, I am reconsidering my original plan of upgrading to the iPhone 4 this month. What can I say? It kicks BB Curve behind and does everything I need using a sweet grandfathered calling and data plan! laugh

I can no longer sync with OUTLOOK = NO INFO BUTTON

I always upgrade to the new OS and now I no longer have the INFO BUTTON to select the parts of OUTLOOK I wish to sync.
What now????

Well, I can sync now! I did lots of things but I think the following were the solutions:
Deleted Microsoft ActiveSync (not in Add/Delete Program list so I just selected it and deleted it.)
Repaired Outlook (Help/Detect/Repair)
Outlook appeared as a choice for syncing for both Calendar and Address Book.
The support article KB02362 was the most helpful.

With upgrading to version 8.0.1, I can no longer scroll with my touchpad or button (Lenovo T61). These was possible prior to the upgrade. How do I fix this?

The touchpad and "little red button" still work on other programs but just not Firefox.

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work. 
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

What can be done to enable multiple usb "mouse" buttons in Solaris 10 ?

My usb multimedia keyboard is recognized as a "combined" usb device.
Two /dev/usb/hidx are created , one with usb keyboard driver attached, the other with the usb mouse driver attached.
Events are generated for the scroll wheel on the keyboard, but not for the cca. 30 extra buttons.
Is there a way to enable multiple buttons support for the "mouse" device ?
The OS is Solaris 10 x86 u3

I don't know how ZAxis... can make those buttons work.
Pressing those keys don't generate any event in xev.
xmodmap -pp shows a maximum of 24 buttons which I cannot map to anything.
On linux there are some drivers and applications one can use to map the keys.
On Solaris, I don't know.

Can no longer open previous project files in the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1)

In the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1), you can no longer access/open projects from the button in the lower left corner. Clicking on that button now merely brings up an index of clips in the current project's timeline. Why is that? And how do I now access my project library? By the way, clicking File>Open Library does nothing.

You should learn about the changes introduced in 10.1, which are very significant and much for the better.
The most important is the introduction of Libraries.
There is no longer a "project browser". Libraries are the containers of your events and projects, and can be stored anywhere.
The older versions had two buttons - the one you mention was already there, and opens the "Timeline Index", like it already did. The "project browser" does not exist anymore, and therefore the respective button does not exist either.
I suggest you follow some great explanations about the new features here:

It says apps are taking up more space on my phone than they actually are. I can no longer download anything to my iPhone. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

please please please help! It says in my iPhone Free Space area on iTunes that the apps on my phone are taking up 9.20 GB when I only have one page of apps (all fairly small ones, too!). I can no longer download anything to my phone because of this, and I need help to bring my "app space" down from the incorrect number.

Hi Lisa,
Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I"m having exactly the same issue. I have about 350MBs of App stuff on my phone but it says it's using 10gigs!!! Have no idea how to resolve this...NE ideas?

Can no longer send mail - strange errors/activity

I'm hoping a guru can help me. This is driving me insane. My mail has worked perfectly for years. Over the past 2 days, it can no longer send mail. I can recieve, but not send.
It first began with error messages saying that it couldn't use Port 25. My ISP doesn't block this port, so I tried using four other mail servers from other email accounts. Again, all give the same error. Now when I try to send a message, they just sit in my out box. When I try to resend, it does nothing. The activity monitor quickly states "Copying message to outbox". That's it.
I'm at a loss. Any help is really appreciated.

Ignore this message, I JUST WORKED IT OUT.
It looks like there is another unsecure wireless network in our building and for some reason my Powerbook defaulted to using that, rather than my own wireless account.
So with this other connection I could surf/recieve but I couldn't send out.
The variables never cease to amaze me.

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

Hi, my mac air is really low on disk space, can I remove itunes (which is huge) to an external hard drive to free up space?...and then run it from the hard drive instead of the mac,even if the mac no longer has space to accomodate the size of the library?

Yes.
Copy your music iTunes Library folder to the external drive and change the Advanced settings in iTunes to point to this new location.
Once you're happy with these changes you can delete the same Library from your User account to free up space on the internal drive.

I can no longer use my original activation key

I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 sometime ago and now I can no longer use it.
This product did cost me quite a bit of money so I would appreciate some assistance.
I've once registered and activated this product once before and it no longer wants to reinstall because it claims it was used once.I still have the original cd and product code with me.
Is it possible for me to confirm my purchase previously without haveing to buy another serial key?
I really cannot afford another.
This product was once active on this account but is no longer showing that I had ever had it. Please help.

Can you post your query on this forum or contact adobe customer service via phone or chat
The Adobe Collage forums will not be of much help to you.
