Strange mouse behaviour during sync

As soon as I sync my iPad with iTunes under Windows my mouse starts so behave strangly. I still can use it but a click with the left mouse button seems to partly emulate a right click. If I click in Windows Explorer the context sensitive menu will appear, if I try to switch tabs in Chrome nothing happens at all (if it really was the right mouse button I would get a context sensiteve menu there as well).

Works
thx a lot
joe
/EDIT
no it doesn|t
I have american kezboard lazout >*
I|ll have a closer look
/EDIT 2:
Typing
setxkbmap "de"
(or whatever your keyboard language code is) in a terminal cuts it. For more info, see

  • Keyboard coffee spill resulting in strange mouse behaviour

    Following a coffee spill on her bluetooth keyboard (which presumably resulted in panic and manic button-pressing) when my mother clicks on an item in the dock, the menu appears - as if she had ctrl-clicked.
    Is this just some hard-to-budge coffee on one of the control key contacts or is this behaviour the result of some universal access setting or something that she has activated when panicking over the spilled coffee?
    When clicking on an item on the desktop for example, the context menu doesn't appear then - implying that it's not coffee stuck on the contact (which would cause all mouse activity to appear as if a ctrl-click presumably.
    Any tips for extracting coffee from Apple bluetooth keyboards also appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    G4 iMac USB 2.0 / G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    A user here did this once.
    I took the keyboard apart to get it cleaned out.
    Letting coffee dry in there is not the Suufi way, (From the movie "Romancing the Stone").
    Anyway, washed it out in the sink and let it dry overnight, Put it back together and it worked fine.
    The problem with letting it dry as it is: the coffee will take a month to completely dry and if there's sugar, there's the stickyness. Save the headach and take it apart, clean it up or just throw it away.

  • Strange repaint behaviour with JList & Keyboard actions

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post to the forum. You guys have been a great help in the past and I hope to contribute more in the future.
    Anyways, I've encountered some strange repainting behaviour with a JDialog that uses a JList and a JButton. The dialog is fairly straight-forward and basically this is how it works (like an open file dialog - yes I'm implementing my own filechooser of sorts):
    * JList lists a number of simple items that the user can select from.
    * Once a selection is made, an Open button (JButton) is enabled.
    * <ENTER> key is registered (using registerKeyboardAction()) with a JPanel which is used as the main content pane in the dialog.
    * The user can either click on the Open Button or hit the <ENTER> key which then closes the dialog and runs whatever logic that needs to.
    Now, the repaint problem comes in when:
    1. User selects an item.
    2. User hits the <ENTER> button
    3. Dialog closes
    4. User brings the dialog back up. This entails reloading the list by removing all elements from the list and adding new ones back in.
    5. Now... if the user uses the mouse to select an item lower in the list than what was done in step #1, the selection is made, but the JList doesn't repaint to show that the new selection was made.
    I didn't include a code sample because the dialog setup is totally straight-forward and I'm not doing anything trick (I've been doing this kind of thing for years now).
    If I remove the key registration for the <ENTER> key from the dialog, this problem NEVER happens. Has anyone seen anything like this? It's a minor problem since my workaround is to use a ListSelectionListener which manually calls repaint() on the JList inside the valueChanged() method.
    Just curious,
    Huy

    Oh, my bad. I'm actually using a JToggleButton and not a JButton, so the getRootPane().setDefaultButton() doesn't apply because it only takes JButton as an input param. I wonder why it wasn't implemented to take AbstractButton. hmmm.

  • Strange JTable behaviour - everything is highlighted

    Hello all,
    im experiencing some strange JTable behaviour, and im not so sure why. When i run my program, the JTable appears, but all the cells are highlighted in advance. Also, i can now only select one cell at a time. I have set myTable.setSelectionModeListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);  myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);and my renderer code is below. I call the renderer by using the setDefaultRenderer method with(Object.class,myRenderer).
    I have also changed isCellEditable to return true. If i dont use Object.class, and try to use my own custom class, the JTable is not all highlighted, but it doesnt seem to use myRenderer, and when i click on the header of Column A, all cells from column B and beyond become highlight, which is not normal behaviour. I thought the colum you selected should be highlighted.
    Sorry for the long post, i hope the above makes sense...this is really quite bizzare, and im not so sure why this is happening. Thanks for any advice you can give, regards, Rupz

    Hi VV!
    thanks for the reply - now the table isnt all highlight when loaded, but as for cell celection..thats a different matter. I did have myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true); but no, the cell behaviour is really, eally weird, quite hard to explain, but here goes.
    If i try to select cell D1 and D2 - D1 is selected, D2, E2,F2 and so on become selected. If i try to add D3 to the mix, the entire row 3 is selected, and as soon as i let go of the mouse button, the entire table except row 1 gets selected. really really weird.

  • "Network disconnected during sync."

    We are getting a strange error
    "ERROR",CNS-9107,"07/17/2006 12:03:40","Network disconnected during sync. "
    while synchronizing our Oracle Lite PocketPC application with Mobile Server. This only seems to be happening when we are uploading inspections with photo data, have anyone else experienced this problem?

    During the 'Sending' phase from the client, a packed binary file (created by the composing phase) is being uploaded to the server, where it is then unpacked and the data put into the in queues.
    During 'recieving' the server is creating a packed binary download file from two main sources - the out queue data for the user, and real time queries for any complete refresh items.
    Have you set trace logs to SYNC for an example user? This should tell you whether or not the read of the out queues or complete refresh queries are at fault (you should see a list of publication items, and then the trace for each one in turn as it is processed). If the log shows that it is stopping on one publication item (normally a complete refresh), particularly where you have a long download time, then the query may be timing out.
    If the sync log shows that all PI's have been processed successfully, then the problem is probably related to the send of the packed binary file. Have a look at the sync history for the user, in terms of record and byte count downloaded - is this excessive? Publication items containing BLOB columns (like images) set to complete refresh could be very large
    On the client you should find a file(s) <USERNAME>olres.bin and/or <USERNAME>_olres.bin If you find them, the download at least started. When you say that the user cannot re-sync, do you mean that they get the same error reported? if so try deleting these files and see what happens (a server side error will be within the download file so will not go away until you kill the failed download files), if you still get the error quickly after removing the files, something has broken the activesync connection. If re-cradling the Pocket PC device to re-establish the connection works, then the problem is definitely in the activesync set up.. If it does not, is there anything in your network software that is restricting file downloads or packets?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • LV 8.2 mouse behaviour oddities and annoyances ...

    I'm seeing some strange behaviour in LV 8.2 when using the mouse: (Windows 2000 and XP).
    Try this:
    Switch to a block diagram (any one will do)
    Spin the scroll wheel a few times
    Click and drag to draw a selection box
    When I do this, the mouse cursor is not lined up with the box:
    It appears to be offset vertically by the same distance which I scrolled.  Interestingly though, the selection actually behaves normally - the visible box is not the box used for the actual selection:
    This also happens horizontally if I hold the mouse over the horizontal scroll bar and spin the wheel (hope everyone already knew this trick )
    Does this happen on other platforms?  It doesn't appear to happen on the front panel.
    I must admit to being rather frustrated with the changes made to the mouse behaviour with every new release.  It's usually subtle, but it's very frustrating when you work with LV every day and get totally used to its quirks (and even appreciate them in some cases), only to have it all change with the next release.  For instance, in 8.2 it seems any time you click on a resize handle, the object shrinks - even if you don't move the mouse (I use a track ball, so this is easy to do for me).  I use this technique to check the size of things all the time, and it's very annoying to have to undo something I never actually did.
    Also (and this is probably related), there is actually what I would call a bug when you do resize things.  Try this:
    Drop a rectangular decoration on a front panel (or anything resizable)
    Click on one of the resize handles, but don't move the mouse at all - note the size in the pop up tip strip
    Move the mouse 1 pixel in a direction that would enlarge the decoration.  The object actually gets smaller!
    Perhaps there is some good reason for this, but given that it's a totally different behaviour than in older versions, was it really a compelling enough reason to change it???
    Sorry, just a little morning venting ...
    ... looking forward to 8.2.1 so I can get back to enjoying LabVIEW,

    I agree that as someone who uses LV every day it can be frustrating to find all these bugs/changes from previous versions, but there are some perks to the newer versions.  Some old bothersome things fixed and replaced with new, somewhat less bothersome things.
    It is however, unfortunate that you seem to be the one who finds a lot of these things
    Of course.  In fact I'm only using 8.2 because we are really keen to use Projects, XControls, LVOOP classes, etc., along with some bug fixes (most notably this one).  You're right though, I have been very "lucky" since starting with 8.2.  I can't take much credit though - all I've done so far is port our big (~2500 VIs) project to 8.2 and work out the kinks, along with checking out XControls.
    Hopefully I haven't given the impression I'm seriously angry or upset  .  I'm still a big LabVIEW fan, and NI is definitely one of the best companies out there in terms of support ... (I'll be expecting my cheque in the mail shortly )

  • OS X mouse behaviour

    I have a number of Windows, Linux and UNIX systems which I use via a KVM switch, with a Dell PC keyboard, a Microsoft optical mouse, and a HP 20" display.
    I use virtual machines running on each of the above (VMware Player on Windows and Ubuntu Linux, KVM on Red Hat Linux, Hyper-V on Windows Server, Zones on Solaris), and they all work consistently.
    I've now added in a mid-2011 Mac mini (i5 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM, Radeon 6630M discrete graphics, OS X Mavericks), and everything works fine except mouse presses in OS X.
    I'm not sure whether something is malfunctioning or whether the OS is being a little bit too smart for me, but either way it's almost unusable as it is, and I could use a bit of help, if that would be OK...
    The main issue I have is when I try and move a window by dragging on the title bar; sometimes the window maximises, sometimes it does nothing, simetimes it minimises to the dock (I unchecked that setting, to stop that). I've found that if I press and count to three then mostly I can then drag the window, but sometimes it stops and then maximises/minimises/does nothing.
    I've also found that if I drag a folder to copy it, sometimes it springs open before I drag it, sometimes it drags and drops just fine, and sometimes it drags and springs open in the destination folder. It's all a bit unpredictable.
    I also need virtualization, and am looking at VirtualBox and VMware Fusion to support the facility, so that I can run Linux and Windows virtual machines on my Mac (I need them for work). But the above behaviour persists inside VMs which I run on the Mac, so I never quite know what's going to happen when I press on a Windows window's title bar. This really makes it pretty much unusable for me, and I'm having to revert to my Windows 7 system to do my work.
    What I really want is for a press on the window title bar to immediately grab it so I can move it, which is the behaviour of other operating systems.
    Does it sound like something is wrong, is that just the way it is, or is there a way of configuring/tweaking the mouse behaviour to suit?
    Thanks for looking!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, it looks like something is acting a bit strangely.
    All I want to do is to press and hold the mouse button on the title bar to drag the window, just as I would on any other OS.
    I'm not looking to double-click (which OS X can be set to do minimize, but I've disabled), not a sticky click and release (like accessibility features might allow), not press a keyboard modifier key as well, and not to press, hold, and wait a while.
    You're right that the next logical step is to connect a mouse directly, and that's what I'll do.
    I'm going to try connecting the mouse directly, but that really goes against the KVM concept of using a single keyboard/monitor/mouse to control multiple computers. My KVM sends as a USB 1.1 standard mouse, down the same cable as the keyboard, and it works fine with other systems. (I've even got a magic mouse, but that's no good, as it hasn't got a middle button, which I need for my UNIX & Linux VMs.)

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • Disk could not be read from or written to during syncing to iPod touch

    Hi there,
    I just got the iPod touch 16gb. When I try to sync videos to the iPod, it will ultimately stop and give me the error about disk not be read from or written to during syncing. In addition, when the iPod charging battery logo and the whole screen for that matter go blank, iTUNES displayed an error message of Device has timed out. Thus, I have to close and reopen iTUNES to sync new music or video files. This didn't happen with my iPod video 30gb. It seems like the device times out so quickly. It is annoying. Anyway, please offer any suggestions. Thank you.

    I'm having the same synching problem. It looks like file size is a factor. Most of my music library transfered over ok, but only after I de-selected podcasts and videos.
    The movie file I'm testing with is 1.2 GB. It gets about 7/8's of the way, progress stops, and then a dialog opens saying that the disc can not be read from or written to.
    When moving just music the Touch consistently gets through 263 songs (2.38 GB) of 275 songs (2.70 GB). It seems to miss the long audiobooks.
    Interestingly my 1st gen 2 GB Nano is also having the same error "can not be read from or written to" when I synch my podcasts. In disc mode I can copy over the 1.2 GB movie no problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to stick some movies on the Touch.

    I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
    In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
    Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
    Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
    Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
    Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
    I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
    I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

    How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)?  My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone.  I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)).  Any help would be appreciated.
