Switches in place of a mouse

HI
have just got a Ablenet Jelly bean switch - but the mac will not recognise it even after restarting
HELP.

slrn...
What little information there is for the "adaptive device" it seems to need Mac drivers and runs under some specific / specialized applications.
It doesn't have any tracking feature but seems to run as a simple answer triggering device. Probably each page that flashes on the screen and a student must respond, by hitting the button, to a correct answer to some quiz.
Reguardless it seems that it in not for your intended purpose. If you can better state what the intended purposes are may be there is something available for the Mac.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

Firewire port placement interferes with Mouse usage

I'm a long-time, ardent Mac supporter. And offer this only in hopes someone at Apple will address this problem. This is more a complaint / suggestion regarding placement of the firewire port than it is a question. However, I would like to hear how others deal with this.
I would like to use an external firewire drive at my office for Time Machine backups, but there is no reasonable way to use a mouse when the firewire cable attaches right in the middle of the left side of the MBPro. I could use a mouse with my right arm extended further right, but this is hardly a natural position AND the desk extension (originally for typewriters) has no further room.
I realize the side ports (left and right) allow the screen/cover to drop nicely to the back of the laptop and thereby maintain a slim design. But basic ergonomic design would suggest the most natural space for operating a mouse should be unblocked by cables (apologies to my left-handed friends).
I for one would love to see Apple give this problem more weight in design considerations. I'm sure it could not have been missed originally, but apparently it was deemed "not that big a deal" by the decision makers. But it certainly has turned out to be a big deal for me. Basically, I need to find a USB drive that I can attach on the left side.

This is more a complaint / suggestion regarding placement of the firewire port than it is a question.

[915 Series] 915P After switch off - keyboard LED and mouse are ON

Hi,
when I switch off from WinXP, keyboard LED and mouse stay ON. Why? Any suggestions, how can i fix this?
Thanks (915P Platinum, latest BIOS, WinXP Pro)

ha... looks like MSI didn't do proper vaidation on either hardware or BIOS.
MAYBE the next BIOS will fix this, or MAYBE it's true hardware "feature". If that's the case, well, just live with it.

Graphic - drawing nodes and edges, place elements and mouse event

Hello, I am new to Java. I would like to do the following:
show graphically a node and edge structure in star format, where each of the nodes, including the centre node, is a string.
The number of edges is varialbe, so I guess I have to divide the 360' arc into equally spaced angles, define the distance at which to place the nodes at the extremity and then draw n-lines from the centre node (also a string of characters) to each of the peripherical nodes (also a string of characters).
Additioanally, I would need a mouse click event, where by when I click on any of the nodes (including the periphery ones), an certain event is triggered, depending on which node I am clicking. Basically, something that recognise that the mouse is on top of a specific String when clicked (to make things more complex, I would need a left click or a righ click with pop-up menu of actions..but I guess, that's the easy part)
thanks to all for the help

My advice is to start learning Java:

... and using existing tools instead of re-inventing the wheel:

Mouse highlights desktop, window screens, causing uncontrollable switching from screen to screen. PLEASE HELP me

When I drag the mouse to desktop, it darkens it.
When I place the mouse on a window screen, it highlights it to a light orange color.
When I open two or more windows, the windows begin switching between each one, the mouse has no control to click on a desired window screen. The windows become smaller, so I can view both panes, sometimes highlighting them. I am not able to view or click on fields due to the rapid switching of the screens. I have to close one window to get anything done. Even then, clicking on links is difficult. I'm so frustrated : (
I switched from one mouse to a previous owned mouse.
I tried -Preferences- expose -- just trying different things.

Oh, try unplugging it then plug it back in. Also go to your system preferences and check your mouse settings. If you are still having problems it could be a bad mouse.

Magic Mouse Primary and Secondary Clicks Switched

Recently I picked up a Magic Mouse and have since found some very strange things that I don't know how to fix:
The primary and secondary clicks are switched. As in, under mouse settings when I select the secondary click to be on the right, only the primary click works on the right side and everything else is a secondary click. It is also very annoying because every time I have more than one finger touching the surface it counts as a secondary click. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate feedback.
I looked around in settings and couldn't find anything regarding this matter. I fiddled with some stuff but never got it working properly.
Feedback much appreciated!
--Justin

Looking at another thread in this forum, I see some people who had older apple mice installed before the magic mouse are having this problem with the magic mouse.
I had an older wireless mouse that would take right-clicks before I set up the magic mouse. Unfortunately when I connect the older wireless mouse I can no longer access it's preferences. It only gives me the preferences a generic one button mouse. Somewhere there must be some set of files I can delete and it will forget this old mouse.
I am pretty disheartened after a week of this. One of the benefits to a mac is that I shouldn't have to dig around removing drivers and such

Switch between desktops using mouse wheel

Just a simple question - is there a possibility to switch desktop with use of the mouse wheel on the desktop background? I know it is possible in XFCE, but how about KDE or GNOME?
Why it is important to me - I have simplified changing desktops by setting a 5 pixel margin on the bottom and the right of the screen, so there is always desktop background visible. To switch desktop I simply move mouse to the edge of the screen and scroll - simple, fast and efficient. And funny - this is the main thing that binds me to XFCE, even though my computer is fast enough to handle KDE4 .
Some time ago I have installed GNOME, and later KDE4.1, and tried to find such feature, but I did not succeed unfortunately, even though I spend some time over the documentation and the settings panels. Currently with the introducing KDE4.2 and nvidia-180 driver, which improves 2D graphics somewhat (i.eg. gtkperf gives now 6.5 sec instead of 9.5 that it used to be before upgrade) I'm interested in switching to KDE. Can anyone help me?
P.S. Sorry fo my english

Sure, with compiz you can do a lot more than this . I've installed KDE4 again, but cannot get it to switch desktops the way I wanted. Scroll over pager works on every DE, though it requires precise mouse aiming over the pager. In XFCE I don't have to aim - just move the mouse to the side of the screen (where I have margin set, so desktop is available there) and scroll.
Alt+scroll requires additional movement, which is annoying when for example I do things, that don't require keyboard use (like composing the playlist, browsing the web, changing the GTK2 themes and so on ). I like minimizing things to do to achieve the goal. Therefore I also use cairo-dock, which removed additional mouse click (for raising the menu) when opening the most used applications...
A funny and I think useful feature I found in KDE4 is action bound to scroll over the window titlebar - it moves the window and the user to the next desktop .

CS5.5 Gripes/CS6 Wish List (from the perspective of an FCP switcher)

I have been a Final Cut Pro user for more than 10 years (starting with version 1.2 on a 500 MHz G4). Final Cut Pro X is a disaster, but that’s a well-covered topic for a different forum. After experimenting with Premiere Pro CS5.5 for a few months, I am ready to make the switch for all of my future projects.
I make a living editing video. I don’t, however, work for a big company, and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on third-party software or hardware. Much of my work is shot on DSLRs and delivered online. That may put me in the category of “pro-sumer” to some, but I wouldn’t be making the switch if I didn’t require a more professional alternative to FCPX to do my job.
I also don’t think “pro” has to be synonymous with clunky and ugly. (I’m looking at you, Avid.) When Final Cut was young, it was fun, intuitive, and sturdy. It became a robust, professional NLE over time. I think Premiere Pro is on that path now.
I like the look, the feel, and the functionality of CS5.5. It’s not quite Apple-slick, but it’s very much at home on a Mac. Overall, it’s an upgrade to FCP7 and a very strong alternative to FCPX. I have high hopes for CS6.
But this is not a comprehensive review. It is just a list of negatives: my gripes, wishes, and personal preferences. My list of positives would be much longer, but my concern right now is with CS6 and the improvements that I hope it delivers. As I am new to Premiere, it's quite possible that I am mistaken about certain functionalities or lack thereof, but I thoroughly researched each point in the help docs and forums before posting this.
My primary system is a 3.2 GHz iMac 21” (2010) with 8 GB RAM, 512MB VRAM (ATI Radeon HD), running Mac OS X 10.7 with external Firewire 800 drives and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI external display.
MAJOR ISSUES
Hardware acceleration support for ATI GPUs
There are rumors that Apple will be switching back to nVidia, but all recent iMacs have ATI and only ATI cards.
Background rendering (or at least improved rendering options)
Background rendering is probably FCPX’s most impressive feature and Adobe needs to catch up. However, even if true background rending can’t be achieved, there should be an auto-render option (after a set idle time), partial rendering (if you cancel a render, keep everything that has been rendered up until that point), and more render options (e.g. render all and render selected). Regarding that last point, I think the whole work area concept should be dropped. It makes sense for other apps, particularly for animation, but it just gets in the way of more important timeline functions while offering little functionality beyond being a clumsy way to control the area to be rendered. At the very least, have a way to hide it.
Full-screen preview
Maximizing the program frame just isn’t the same (although the grave accent key function may be reason enough to switch to Premiere). Full-screen preview isn’t just a nifty function for demo-ing sequences. It’s a big part of the way I work.
DisplayPort/Thunderbolt out to HDMI
It may be that a third-party card is required for proper color correction on an external display, but there’s no reason this feature shouldn’t exist.
Thumbnail images/show frames bug
This one drives me crazy. I’ve tested this on 3 different Mac systems with various hardware configurations. Thumbnail images in the bins and frame images in the timeline seem to be recreated every time a project is opened, even though the thumbnail image files in the media cache folder don’t actually appear to get rewritten. It’s as if there is no cache at all (even for the most recently viewed bins and timelines segments). It can’t be an intentional functionality for saving hard drive space because the cache files continue to take up more and more space.
Open multiple projects simultaneously
I know that you can cut and paste between projects but being able to open multiple projects at the same time is a very useful feature of FCP7.
Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad scrolling
Premiere Pro is a cross-platform system and impressively so, but there need to be a few Mac-specific interface adjustments, the most important of which is support for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad scrolling. I use a Magic Mouse. (It’s an irritating device sometimes, but once you get used to it, it’s hard to live without it.) When I’m in a window, I expect a flick up or down to scroll up or down -- in every situation, every time, including the timeline. Unless I stop using all other Mac apps, I will never get accustomed to the timeline suddenly flying left or right when I want to scroll up or down. Also, here’s a chance for Adobe to fix a problem that FCP7 shared: When you scroll up or down in the effect control window using the mouse, the drop-down effect controls sometimes twirl all over the place if the mouse happens to float over them. As it is, it very easy to throw settings into random disarray without even realizing it just by scrolling through the pane.
The timeline: selection indication, icons, and general improvements
It is very difficult to discern at a glance what, if anything, is selected in the timeline. Transitions always look selected! Audio tracks should be a different color or otherwise more distinct. There should be an option to show frames only without any text. The icons for track options are small, crowded, and ugly. Some of the editing icons are too similar, namely edit and ripple edit, although the excellent status bar at the bottom of the application goes a long way towards making up for this. Simply put, the timeline could use some polish. Don’t be afraid to steal from Apple on this one. Keep the tracks; just make it easier on the eyes!
Conforming audio
The ability of CS5.5 to work natively with DSLR footage is awesome, but it’s not fully DSLR native if it has to pre-render a major component of the footage before it can play, even if it’s just the audio.
Media loading
When launching a project, it can take a long time for all the media in the project to “load” as tracked in the status bar. I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but since the program is able to determine which source media files are missing before this step (and gives you the option to reconnect them), what is it doing and why must it load every clip in the project, even those not in use by any sequences?
Page up/page down and arrow key commands
For starters, the current page up/page down key functions should take the CTI to the next cut in the sequence, not the next cut in the track that happens to be targeted, which can be way down timeline. In FCP7, I frequently navigated cut to cut with the up and down arrow keys. I’ve avoided customizing the keyboard commands to match FCP7 -- I would rather endure some hardship and learn the proper Adobe commands -- but this one is flat-out backwards. The page up/down keys should page through the timeline (left to right and right to left), while the up and down arrow keys should take over the clip to clip function (assuming the targeted track issue is fixed). Currently, the down arrow takes you to the very end of the timeline, a function already duplicated by and better suited for the “end” key.
Bin management and clip relationships
Deleting an item from a bin should not delete it from the timeline, but this is part of a bigger problem, which is the whole master file versus instance versus subclip versus dup clip thing. There aren’t any good indicators regarding the relationships of these clips, and there are few ways to adjust them. If clips are going to be connected, then they should be fully connected. For instance, changing the name of a clip in the bin should change it in the timeline. Adding an effect or trimming should affect the corresponding clips between bin and timeline. Otherwise, the clips should just be completely separate instances. I haven’t been able to find an option to turn a clip into an independent instance, although I have to think it exists. Also, editing an instance of a title does change every other instance of that title throughout the sequence. I would prefer to be able to edit them separately without having to duplicate them in the title editor.
Bin effects
Related to the above, it should be possible to add effects to clips in bins or keep effects on clips added to bin from timeline. It would also be nice to be able to group effects together in bins for a specific project. The effects window is better suited for global collections.
Clearer visual indicators that a clip has been adjusted in the effect controls panel
Even with the effects panel visible, you have to take a close look to see if there have been any adjustments to the standard settings. An indicator on the clip in the timeline itself would be useful.
Snapping should include the CTI
It should also include the blade tool, although the Cmd-K option to cut at the CTI position does make this less of an issue.
Smoother scrubbing
Scrubbing is pretty awful. While this is understandable with native footage, FCPX somehow manages to make this silky smooth at full resolution.
Color correction shape mask and better color correction in general
Simplify the primary functions of the 3-way color correction effect. Keep all the rarely used adjustments out of the way. I use Magic Bullet for some purpose, but I’ve always done most of my color correction within FCP. Put the most common adjustments front and center (or up top, as it may be). The highlights/mid-tone/shadows drop-down is inconsistent in what controls it pertains to.
FCPX’s color correction is actually one of its more underrated features. The way it allows you to layer corrections is dead-simple yet as powerful as anything in FCP7 or Premiere. Stick with the 3 wheels, but rely less on hard to control tonal ranges and add simple keyframe-able shape masks for secondary color correction.
Better support for shared media access
AVID is king in this arena and Adobe needs to improve. It should be possible for multiple editors to safely work on the same project files and share media over a server.
MINOR ISSUES
More vertically compact playback/edit control area in source and program panes
Make room for either a taller timeline or bigger previews. The virtual scrubber and shuttle controls are the nifty things you drag with the mouse the first time you ever use an NLE and never touch again.
Larger icons in icon view
Remember size and position of bin windows
Playback resolution setting indicator
There should be an always-visible indicator of the playback res setting in the preview pane that’s easy to adjust without right-clicking.
Better markers for sequences and clips
Include colors and more keyboard shortcut control.
Clip sliding with keyboard commands
“Opt-,” (that’s Option-comma) should cause a clip collision, not overwrite. Either that, or “,” and “.” should slide, while “Opt-,” should overwrite. Opt-arrow should only extend an adjoining clip if in the middle of two clips. Basically, this whole arrangement should be re-thought.
Project browser should auto refresh/sort.
Option-drag on a Mac should always be copy, not move.
Copy is currently command-drag in the project browser.
Stop auto-save from interrupting adjustments in timeline.
Ideally, the auto-save should just be a background function, but it should at least wait until you’re not in the middle of dragging something.
Add ability to select a cut directly and add default transition.
CTI control
If you move the CTI while it’s in play mode, it should continue to play from that spot after you release the mouse, not stop there.
Show number of frames being adjusted during keyframe adjustments.
Enable/disable specific effect parameters/keyframes.
Clearing an effect should clear keyframes as well.
Or have an option to clear both.
Position controls
There should be a preference to make the default position 0.0 x 0.0 (as opposed to 50% of whatever the resolution happens to be), and include a reset button.
Through-edit indicator in timeline
And a quick way to join clips, such as a right-click menu option.
Border controls for images
Auto save location preference and functionality
In FCP7 I set the number of auto saves to keep to the maximum of 100 and Premiere can go even higher. I have always used this feature as an additional backup and archive system, which has come in very handy. Those files add up, however. So, I prefer to auto-save to an external drive. Also, auto saves in Premiere continue to occur whenever there are unsaved changes. This means that if you make a small adjustment and then leave Premiere for a while, it will keep auto saving the same iteration, which is not only inefficient but leads to my next point….
Tame the bouncing dock icon on auto save
While using other apps, there’s no need for the dock icon to bounce every time Premiere performs an auto save.
More/clearer control over cache locations
There should also be an option to reset the cache/render file locations to their defaults.
Export source range
When exporting, remember the last-used setting of the export source range (or just dump the whole work area thing as I previously suggested). It’s too easy to cut off a portion of the video when the export defaults back to the work area every time.
Larger timecode display
After spending hours and hours editing, the current timecode for clips and sequences is something you want to be able to track without squinting. Use the letters h,m,s and f instead of colons.
Simple slug
Creating a black matte works okay, but it involves a few extra steps.
Snapping toggle
FCP allows you to quickly toggle snapping while dragging a clip. Upon releasing the clip, the snap toggle returns to its original state. Premiere could use this fucntion, but I suggest something simpler. Holding down the “S” key should always turn snapping on regardless of toggle state, while releasing it returns it to however it was set before.
Ability to dock the audio meters along top
I like to give my timeline as much horizontal space as possible. I’ve noticed a lot of users keep the toolbar up there, myself included. I think it would be a good place horizontally aligned audio meters as well.
More detailed tool tips or hover explanations in preferences
For example: The options regarding XMP data should make it clear that the original files will be modified by Premiere. This caused me problems in other applications. (After researching these settings, I understand that various Adobe applications use this information to share resources, but it’s still very unclear what the specific benefits are or what functions are lost without this option.)
More detailed support documents
The online support documents on the Adobe site very good. They are nicely arranged and easy to search, but they could be more detailed and offer fuller explanations. (Peruse the support forums and you will discover all kinds of debates that could have been easily cleared up with one concise line in a help document.)
Icons and button design
Icons and buttons are often too small, too similar, and too crowded throughout the interface. Take some style tips from Apple on this one.
NEW FEATURE WISH LIST
Footage auto-analysis: shot recognition, color correction, and color match
If only Apple had just added these features and others to the FCP7 framework. Adobe can do it better though, by using smart folders in addition to the traditional bins that we know and trust (anything besides those dreadful iMovie-style “events”).
Effect previews
In the 64-bit era, there has to be a quicker way to preview effects.
Ability to render in alternate formats
Namely ProRes or DNxHD. This would save me considerable time on exports by allowing me to select the “use preview files” option.
PluralEyes functionality
Okay, I suppose I should just purchase PluralEyes...again.
Many, many more effects!
How about starting with the missing vignette effect? Just because an app is “pro” doesn’t mean you should have to custom build every effect.
Many, many more looks!
Will most of them be cheesy looks I would never touch? Sure...but give me some templates to play with before I tweak the look down to my exact specifications.
More speed!
FCPX, for all its flaws, blazes on any modern Mac. This probably comes back to hardware acceleration, but while Premiere Pro on a Mac isn’t slow, it doesn’t blow you away.

You hit the nail on the head, Peter.
I recently started giving Premiere Pro CS5 a try, and was shocked by the amount of bugs and usability issues. I'm not even going as deep as you in the features, but the most glaring evidence of the lousy interface is that timecode offset bubble that appears everytime you move a clip in the timeline... the bugger appears just under your mouse pointer and won't go away, so if you try to just move a clip down a track quickly, and let go of the button ONTO the bubble, it acts as an obstacle and your drag/drop fails ! seriously, Adobe... don't tell me nobody has stumbled upon this one during beta-testing ?
Ditto on the autosave that basicly interrupts anything you're doing. No background saving in 2011 ? At first it bothered me to no end so I disabled the autosave. And then a few hours later, Premiere crashed, and didn't even try to recover my work. I lost 2 hours of intricate work. I put autosave back on, and learned to endure the constant, annoying save dialog. And it's not like the save process is instant... even the simplest of projects takes 5 to 10 seconds to save... on an SSD... come on... let me work already...
Of course, a headache-inducing implementation wouldn't be complete if the autosave didn't trigger even 30 seconds after a manual save. If I choose an interval of 5 minutes, just autosave 5 minutes after a manual save !
In thumbnail view, you can reorder the clips manually. It's all fine, but you can't reorder them by name or date or length, unless you switch to list view and of course, lose the thumbnails.
Dragging and dropping a clip in thumbnail view is a chore, because the palette doesn't scroll when the mouse reaches the edge. You know, when you want to move something at the top all the way to the bottom... so you have to drag, let go, scroll one screen, drag, let go, scroll one screen... it's a joke. Even the timeline can do it. Heck, it's a software standard, nowadays.
Renaming a clip and pressing ENTER takes you back to... the top of the folder !?! How many times I've renamed files that were at the end of the thumbnail view, and for each clip, I had to scroll back down. Time waster.
Want to locate a clip from the timeline, in the project ? the locate function takes you to the folder. But not to the file, you have to navigate towards it manually.
Ditto on the up/down arrows. I haven't found a way to jump from cut to cut like in FCP7. How often do I need to jump to the starting/ending points ? much less often than jumping to a nearby cut.
How come I can't reorder filters in the effects pane ? sorry, I can actually reorder the filters... provided I take them from the bottom and move them up. Moving effects down doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
Conforming happens more or less anytime. Without reason. And even if the Media Cache is already full of conformed files.
When moving the boundaries of the work area, no timecode/offset appears. You need to let go of the button and THEN hover, then you'll know the exact time/duration.
Try scrolling up in the timeline, it scrolls to the left (which is stupid, it should scroll up). Now scroll up on the tabs of a palette : they scroll to the right !?!
Can't select an active track. Direct consequence : copy-pasting a clip overlaps anything that's on track 1. Say I want to duplicate clips on the same track... I can't do it.
Copy-pasting between projects doesn't keep the transitions, only the order of the clips.
Have you tried doing a frame freeze on a reversed clip and setting proper in/out points for the freeze ? Good luck.
"Duplicate" command, when you right click on a thumbnail, is way too far from the cut/copy/paste commands at the top, even though they're quite related.
The other day I transcoded footage with different audio parameters. Just the audio had changed. Upon opening the project, Premiere wanted me to locate the files, which I did. And it failed miserably. Instead, I opened the project ignoring the missing files, and then re-linked them. I pointed Premiere at the first missing file, and had to confirm the replacement. Premiere saw all the other missing files in that folder, and began prompting me FOR EACH SINGLE FILE !!! two hundred and forty three of them, precisely. Can't I have a "yes to all" button in 2012 ? and why does the relinking work inside the project and not when you open a project ?
That was just from 3 days with Premiere Pro CS5. I still can't believe it. Just to think people bashed Final Cut Pro X, praising Premiere in comparison... Sorry, but they both have serious issues. And Premiere doesn't even have the excuse of novelty.

Mighty Mouse Bluetooth Connectivity

Hi,
I have a wireless Mighty Mouse and a new MacBook. If I turn on my mighty mouse first, then turn on my MacBook, the mouse works fine, but if I forget to turn on my mighy mouse until after I have already turned on my MacBook, it will not connect automatically!!??
When I had a Windows PC, I had a wireless keyboard and mouse from Logitech. Even if I turned on my PC first, then turned on my mouse or keyboard, it would automatically start working, but now I am using my Mac, unless I turn on my mighty mouse first, my Mac will not find it. Why is this and is this normal??
I have just purchased a wireless Apple keyboard, I have not used it yet, but will the same thing happen with this also??
Please help. Thank you for all your help with this annoying matter.

Hi again Dai Bach,
Thanks for your help mate.
I was wondering, you use a wireless mighty mouse as well. I have now own 2 mighty mouse, my current wireless one and a wired one I had with my old Windows PC before I switched.
I am having great difficulty using the right click, which you are supposed to be able to do with the mighty mouse instead of control clicking to get the contextual menu up. If I do use the right click, it very rarely works, if it does work, I am amazed, but I can never repeat it!!!
I have to resort to control clicking with the mouse to get the contextual menu to appear, which sort of misses the point of having the mighty mouse in the first place!!! If this was the first time it had happened, I would say it was a problem with my mouse, but this is the second mighty mouse I have had and the same thing happened with my first one.
I tried changing the mouse settings to see if the mouse hardware works correctly. I went into the keyboard and mouse system preferences and switched the primary and secondary mouse buttons over so it was configured for a left handed person. The left click and right click actions then worked perfectly, but when I put the mouse back to the standard configuration, so the primary click was the left mouse button and the secondary cllick was the right, the right mouse button stopped working when I wanted to right click something!!
Why does the right click work when I have it set as the primary button, but not work when I have it set as the secondary button? Do you or anyone else have any ideas? Does this happen to you too? Is this a well known problem?
Cheers. Thanks for all your help.

I triend to implement the code from the post:
TabPaneDrag drag = new TabPaneDrag();
centerPane.setOnDragDetected(drag);
centerPane.setOnMouseDragReleased(drag);
rightPane.setOnDragDetected(drag);
rightPane.setOnMouseDragReleased(drag);
public class TabPaneDrag implements EventHandler<MouseEvent>{
    Node start;
    Node end;
    @Override
    public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
        if(arg0.getEventType().equals(MouseEvent.DRAG_DETECTED)){
            start = (Node)arg0.getSource();
            start.startFullDrag(); //allows events to fire on nodes besides source
        } else if(arg0.getEventType().equals(MouseDragEvent.MOUSE_DRAG_RELEASED)){
            end = (Node)arg0.getSource();
            if(end != start){
                ObservableList<Node> startWrapper = findWrapper(start).split.getItems();
                ObservableList<Node> endWrapper = findWrapper(end).split.getItems();
                int startIndex = startWrapper.indexOf(start);
                int endIndex = endWrapper.indexOf(end);
                // Remove/Add the TabbedPanes to the new order
                endWrapper.remove(endIndex);
                startWrapper.remove(startIndex);
                startWrapper.add(startIndex, end);
                endWrapper.add(endIndex, start);
            start = null;
            end = null;
But it turns out that the Java method findWrapper() can't be found I must implement it manually.
Can you give me some idea how to implement this code?

No usb mouse/keyboard detection on K8n Diamond

My logitech ultrax wireless media desktop ( infrared combined reciever, only one usb port) does not be detected with a computer reboot .
When i switch in the bios" usb mouse detection" at disable ( or !!) enable, it works for a while but a few reboots later is stops working again.
Already updated and reinstalled the driver.
someone with the solution ??
Thanks

Hi,
My first question is...why so many re-boots?
I have a wireless USB K/B and mouse similar to yours.
If my system ever froze (it no longer does this btw) on restarting the PC the K/b would not be seen in BIOS startup.
You can solve this by doing the following after turning off your PC.
Simply reach around the back of your PC and switch off the PSU power switch for at least 10 seconds.
Then turn it back on and power up the system using the regular power switch on the front of the case.
Voila...the system sees the keyboard...without the need for a CMOS reset.
It all has something to do with the PSU maintaining power to the USB ports/devices when the PC is shutdown...this is for components such as USB modems/routers or similar devices.
It takes a PSU power down to reset the relevant USB component circuitry.
Meanwhile, there might be an issue with your system stability if you keep having to reboot.

Magic mouse swipe between pages not working "only" in finders and preferences

Hi community,
I'm a new comer in this mac world like I just bought it less than a month ago and I'm already having trouble with it.
My apple magic mouse cannot swipe between pages "only" in finder and preferences. I mean it works perfectly fine with Safari and stuff but when it comes to finder, I cannot move between folders by swiping with one finger. Ironically, it works fine if I change it to two finger swipe option by sacrificing 'Swipe between full-screen app' feature as it uses two fingers. Apple customer support that I talked to could not figure it out and I'm hoping to find answers here. I mean it's really awkward as it works with two fingers but not with one finger. Plus, one finger swipe works fine in Safari and other apps.
I did what I can - restarting, -switch on and off the mouse, - PRAM reset, - trying in serfdom, -remove and pair up again the mouse, -run repair permission in disk utility.
I use Mac Mini late 2014 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and this just happened all of sudden.
Please help!!

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!
