Strange problem: using a mouse isn't responsive.

Its a hard problem to explain, basically I just switched from PC to mac.
I love my macbook, the trackpad works great, however when i use it with my intellimouse explorer usb while in mac it seems not very presise when the tracking speed is up high (the way i like it) nothing like how responsive it is when booted up in windows with bootcamp.
I dont know if anyone has heard of this problem before, or has any solutions. But any suggestions would be appricated.

In the System Preferences Control panel for the mouse/trackpad there's an option to ignore trackpad when a mouse is plugged in. See if there's any change when you check/uncheck it.
One other thought - did you install the Intellimouse software? I think Microsoft now has a Universal Binary for its mouse drivers.

  • Problems using right-mouse click functionality in a Captivate added to Articulate?

    Has anyone experienced any problems using the right-mouse click functionality? It's working fine when I preview the project, or view the published Captivate SWF or HTML file, but it's not working when I insert the published Flash file into Articulate and then try it in the published Articulate. I'm using AS2 and Flash Player v10. When I try to right-click it's bringing up the Flash Settings menu you can click on. I've been into my Flash Manager and told it to always allow content from the folder my Articulate is in but that hasn't made any difference. I'm viewing the Articulate on my C drive and I have read that that can cause problems - does anyone have any ideas? If I left-click it recognises it as a click but doesn't recognise it as the correct click action, so just keeps on bringing up my failure caption and won't allow me to progress.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    The right-click functionality in Captivate is 'in' the JS-file, that is called by the HTML-file that will open the SWF. But if you insert the SWF-file in Presenter (Articulate or Adobe) the right-click functionality will not be there, because you are not using the JS-file. BTW: this was also explained in the thread where you posted this same question before. Please, do not post the same question in 2 different threads

  • Strange problem with Mighty Mouse scroll ball

    Hi,
    yesterday suddenly my Mighty Mouse start to have a strange mood. Using scroll ball to go down in a page I haven't problem, but trying to go up don't happened nothing! The problem seems to be software, because the hardware seems to be good.
    What can I do?
    Bye

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
    Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
    TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
    "Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
    Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
    Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
    Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.

  • A strange problem using the zip files

    I'm currently working on a university project with another student in which we use zip files (using the java ZipFile , and ZipOutputStream classes), we write certain data to a zip file (and verify that it is there by checking the disk). and later we read the zip file, and write it back , appending some data at the end of the file.
    although we see the changes actually take place on the disk , in one of the cases when reading the data we don't see the data we have appended before (although it is physically written on the disk).
    testing has revealed that this has something to do with the rename command or java being unsynchronized with the data actually on the disk (caching problem?).
    we use this code to preform the process:
    ZipFile zf= new ZipFile( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip");
              BufferedInputStream input= new BufferedInputStream(zf.getInputStream(new ZipEntry("data")));
              // create a temporary new zip file.
              ZipOutputStream zipst= new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".tmp.zip"));
              BufferedOutputStream output =new BufferedOutputStream(zipst);
              zipst.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("data"));
              // stream the contents of the old file into the new file
              //(we do it this way because of the inability of the java zip file interfaces to add to an existing zip file)
              int current = input.read();
              while(current!=-1){
              output.write(current);
              current = input.read();
              output.write(entry.getBytes(false)); // add the new entrys.
              output.flush();
              zipst.closeEntry();
              output.close();
              // erase the old file.
              File toErase = new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip");
              toErase.delete();
              // rename the temporary file to the old files name.
              File toRename = new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".tmp.zip");
              toRename.renameTo(new File( ((Integer)lexicon.get(keyword)).intValue()+".zip"));
    we use:
    1. j2sdk 1.4.2_05
    2. running under libranet linux.
    any help will be appreciated

    the data does indeed get lost in the course fo rewriting the file, e assume this is some sort of synchronization issue with java and the file system.
    addig enteies to an existing zip file would have been great, if we had it a few weeks ago , we had to make do without this ability , and all of the code is already written and mostly working (except for the problem I mention) and we don't really want to rewrite the zip file access.
    additional testing has shown that the data gets lost when we use the rename command.
    very strange...
    thanks for the input

  • Strange problem using flash in dreamweaver

    Ok so i'm experimenting with flash on my site.  The banner came out perfect.  It went onto my site just as easy.  So then I wanted to play around with other flash buttons.  So I made a flash link to my blog page. It worked great in dreamweaver.  Then I testest it with IE and firfox and still it worked great.  So I uplouded it to my site and no matter what I do it doesn't show up on the page.  I looked in the code view and it's there it's just not visible.  Does anyone see what I did wrong.  It's right under the welcome message in code view.   http://www.markspetcare.com/ 

    Your problem may just be a matter of file naming but it could also be a targeting issue.  The swf seems to be occupying the space assigned to it.
    As a general practice, you should never include spaces in filenames if you plan to use them on the web.
    If changing that doesn't fix the problem, then does your file load another file?  If so, it's possible you didn't load that file to the server or are not properly targeting it in the Flash file.

  • A strange problem about mighty mouse's trackball

    My mighty mouse's trackball works very well on OSX, but it failed to work on Windows, it worked very well on Windows XP and 2008 previously, what is the problem? Thanks!

    Solved the problem myself. It's weird that the bluetooth caused the problem, I installed the bootcamp correctly, and my mouse work properly except trackball, and I found that the bluetooth driver is not properly installed. But how come my mouse could still work? Hate Windows...

  • Strange problem using webutil "WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.GET_HOST_NAME"

    in a form in with a use (and work fine) some function of webutil (like client_get_file_name etc) i have try to use this function :
    :B0.HOST_NAME := WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.GET_HOST_NAME;
    where b0.host_name is a char filed of 256.
    when i try to execute this forms dons not work this lasty function and appear this error :
    wuc-015 your form must contain the following BEAN : getclient info ???
    i don't understan why ??
    in the same form all other function of webutil works fine, only this ??
    a solution ???

    I've got it
    quotation from the Webutil install guide:
    the Form has instantiated the WebUtil PJCs. This means that you cannot call WebUtil
    functions before the Forms UI is rendered. This would include triggers such as PREFORM,
    WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE and WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE for
    the first block in the Form.
    Likewise you cannot call functions after the UI has been destroyed for instance in POSTFORM.
    If you do need to use WebUtil at Forms startup, it is recommended that you create a timer
    with a short duration (say 1ms) in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger, then make the
    WebUtil call in a When-Timer-Expired trigger.

    Yep, as you found, there were some changes in how the 1.6 handles the loading of array classes. This issue has been corrected in the 1.2 version of the RI. We still need to backport said fixes to 1.1.

  • Strange problem using closure

    The attached code works perfectly when placed in a frame on
    the timeline.
    However, when placed inside a function in a class it
    generates:
    TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
    where "var toggle:Function = toggleClosure();"
    Any ideas what could be the cause?

    got it...
    changing "function toggleClosure():Function"
    to "var toggleClosure:Function = function():Function"
    did the trick. :)

  • Strange Problem - Cluster of References

    Hello guys
    I had a strange problems using a cluster with references.
    How to reproduce the problem:
    - open a blank VI;
    - create two graphs in the front panel;
    - in the block diagram, create references for both graphs;
    - connect these references to a bundle (not bundle by name);
    - create an indicator for the bundle;
    - run the VI once;
    - right click on the bundle indicator and change it to a control;
    - delete references and bundle;
    - select the control in the front panel, go to EDIT, CUSTOMIZE CONTROL;
    - change to strict type def;
    - save this control as Control1.ctl;
    - connect the control to a unbundle by name;
    - right click on the unbundle by name and select one of the two graphs as an item (doesn't matter which one you select);
    - create a property node and feed its reference terminal with the reference from the unbundle by name;
    - use the property "Label.Text" in the property node;
    - create an indicator for the the property node;
    - run the VI;
    - the indicator will show the correct label for that graph;
    - perfect!!!
    If you save the VI and run it again, everything is fine.
    But............... if you close it, open again and run.... you will get an error 1055 "Object reference is invalid".
    Why it was working before closing?
    Find attached the VI and the Control.
    Thanks

    Let see if I can answer before I have to start working.
    Do a quick experiment.
    Use a Type cast to cast your ref as a U32 and show that value on the FP.
    Save the VI run it and record the number on the FP.
    Mod the vi save it clsoe it open it and run again. The number should have changed.
    That is the issue you facing, the ref number changes so you need one that is valid when you run.
    How I do it;
    I use an Action Engine (see this Nugget to learn what an Action Engine is) that servse as a GUI controller and lets me get at refs where even I need them. The following is a case study.
    First I collect all of th refs I will need and bundle them in a type def. I sue a state machine to do the bundling if there are a lot.
    THe bundled clsuter get passed to an GUI Controller Action Engine
    Inside the Init I check the refs to make sure they are vlid. THis has saved a lot of wated time chasing invalid refs.
    If they were valid I cache the refs.
    For major mode changes that demand a lot of GUI punching I create sub-VI to do the dirty work.
    When ever other codes needs a ref to the GUI I have a method that returns the refs.
    THe following shows another VI using those GUI refs.
    I hope that helps,

  • There are some strange problems when i used swc files in my as3 project

    Hello everyone,
            My development environment:  fdk4.0,  flash cs5.5,  I publish fla file by using flash cs5.5,   publish setting is  fp version :10.0&10.1 ->swc. I imported swc files to my as3 project and  complied them by using flex sdk4.0. When i run my project,fp was crash.   when i republished on fp 10.2, the project works. Is there any reason?
            another strange problem, for example   a MovieClip's aslink named "A" in swc, it has a textfield named "subText".  I write code like below:
                            var mc:A = new A();
                            mc.subText.text = "test";  
             when mc called "subText" , fp throws null property error, it can't find  subText..  very small number of movieclips have this problem,  I sloved this by duplicating a new one and rename it.
             but i don't  know why ? 
              thank you for your reply.

    I should have figured that out from your original post. I think there is a possibility that your bookmarks/history database (places.sqlite) has a corrupted record. Rather than take drastic action on that immediately, could you do a test? The test is to exit Firefox, rename your existing database, and restart Firefox. Firefox should import your last bookmarks backup. You then could check whether the problem remains or whether you got a clean restore of bookmarks. After the test, assuming you prefer to retain your history, you could undo the procedure and try restoring your bookmark backup into the database to see whether that overwrites the problem record. If not, then we would go back to possible drastic action.
    '''Test procedure''':
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places_20130614.sqlite. Keep this window open.
    Restart Firefox. By design, Firefox should import your last automatic bookmark backup.
    If you return to the Library dialog, how does it look?
    '''To reverse the test''' (but preserve a backup of your history/bookmark database):
    Exit Firefox
    Delete the newly created places.sqlite file
    Right-click copy and paste the places_20130614.sqlite and rename the copy to places.sqlite
    Restart Firefox and open the Library dialog. Should look like it did a few minutes ago before any changes.
    ''If the test showed no corruption,'' try to restore your last bookmarks backup. The procedure is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Does any of that get us closer to a solution?

  • Strange problem in executing procedure using dblink

    I have this strange problem coming in the execution of a procedure accessed using dblink. I will try to explain the scenario. We have one procedure in our schema which is executed using a dblink from another database as we have a integration of systems. This was working fine but after we did a fresh export and import of this schema as we migrated our database to a new better configuration DB server, the execution of this procedure is hanging when it is executed from the dblink from the other database. I hope, I have been able to explain the scenario.
    I hope, my question is clear.
    Please, help in solving the doubt.
    regards

    No starting version number.
    No current version number.
    No indication of whether the link is valid and you can SELECT across it.
    No error message of any kind.
    Nothing from your alert log.
    No indication of whether you have a global names issue.
    Please do the research required to identify the nature of the problem, check the related docs at metalink, and if you still have a problem give us the rest of the story.
    Then perhaps we can help you.

  • After last Moutain Lion update, suddenly and sporadically I cannot move my files using my mouse.  I only get a "ghost" image.  Moving items to the trash is, of course no problem.  Does anyone have a solution?  I've updated my permissions...no go!

    Cannot move icon files using my mouse or cursor after installing Mountion Lion's last update.  After rebooting several times, this sometimes fixes the problem.  I've tried checking and updating my permissions, but this hasn't worked.  What's happening?  I haven't backed up so I can't go back to Lion.  Has this happened to anyone else?  What can I try?  Thanks!

    Try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
    Repair
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Now download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

  • Strange problem with SSL Sockets using more than 10 Clients

    Hi
    I�m using Jsse ( JDK 1.4.2_06 ). I have coded a Client/Server Applikation acting over SSLSockets or over unsecured Sockets. If I use unsecured Sockets everthing works fine, but if I use SSLSockets for the Connection and about 20 Clients, the Clients often can�t connect to the Server and the following Exception was thrown:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    Could it be that there is some strange problem with SSLServerSockets relating to this phenomenon?
    If I use only a few Clients the Exception occurs never or only sometimes.
    Has anyboby an idea what is happaning there?
    Regards Chrisli

    Hi
    From the description of your scenario, you have coded your own server side of the application. I would advise that you consider moving your application to run under Tomcat framework and test if you still get the same exception.
