If you have an older LogiTech mouse you may have to program it to use Alt+arrow-left as keystrokes instead of Back, or use the system settings.

I suggest you do one of two things:
1. Upgrade to Office 2011 for OS X.
2. Try the freeware, Libre Office.

Magic Mouse stopped right clicking right after 10.8.4 update

My computer just performed the latest update to OS 10.8.4 and now my "Magic Mouse" won't right click, even though right click says it's enabled. Please help!

Try deleting the .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart
If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop. If not, put it back.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Samba stopped working again after most recent security update

This is not the first time that Samba has stopped working for me after applying an update to Mac OS X.
I installed an update that 'Software Update' offered to me a day or two ago, and it has caused Samba to stop working again. I can't access the disks on my Powermac from any of my PCs (WinXP and Vista) again.
I tried turning the firewall off. I tried turning SMB file sharing off and turning it back on. I tried disabling and enabling each of the users for SMB access. Still doesn't work.
Under 'Sharing', I have 'File Sharing' enabled. Under its 'Options', I have 'Share files and folders using AFP' and 'Share files and folders using SMB' both enabled. I have my account enabled under 'Share files and folders using SMB'. I also tried disabling it and enabling it. Under Network setup, I have location 'Home' selected, because of previous problems with Samba not working if 'Automatic' was selected.
Ideas?
Thanks,

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Using the back button logs me out of a site, only happens with FF, just updated to new version 16.0.1

The site I am referring to is one using Wordpress & a member management plugin called: S2member. This issue only happens in FF, I tested it in Chrome, but not problems. Just started after the new update.
Hoping its a bug you can help with.

Only Firefox 9 seems to have that problem. Firefox 8 and Firefox 10 (beta) and later work. It helps a bit if I disable javascript.options.methodjit.content, but then it still takes 4 seconds compared to 0.2 or 0.3 seconds with the other Firefox versions. So that looks like a bug with the JIT compiler.

Mouse cursor jittery and broken after latest OS X update

I just updated my iMac (27", latest model, running Mountain Lion) with the most recent Software Update, and I'm now having big problems with my mouse.
The mouse cursor jitters wildly any time I move the mouse, jumping several centimetres back and forth (above-left and below-right; it doesn't seem to flicker randomly, just between those three positions. It flickers rapidly between the arrow cursor and the text selection cursor. When I stop moving the mouse, I will often get the wrong cursor (such as an arrow, or a text selection cursor on its side) instead of the correct text selection cursor. I've been stuck with the sideways text selection cursor for the entirety of this post, for instance.
This also happens in Photoshop when I'm working on images; the cursor will flicker between the arrow and whichever Photoshop tool I'm trying to use, and it will jitter wildly back and forwards. As you can imagine, this makes Photoshop unusable, which is a major problem for me.
It doesn't happen when I'm using stuff like the menus, or Control Panel, or the Safari bookmarks bar.
This happens whether I'm using a Magic Mouse via Bluetooth or a USB mouse, so it's not the mouse itself that's the problem.
I'm using the mouse on the same surface as I previously was with no problems (a wooden desktop with a matte finish), but the same thing happens when I try the mouse on other surfaces such as paper or a mousepad, so it's not the surface that's the problem.
Please help! This makes my Mac virtually unusable, at least for all the tasks I need to use it for. Any suggestions?

Hi EleanorJLH,
You may want to test to see if the issue persists in a new test user to help isolate the possible causes. You may find the following article helpful:

Why does the Back button require two mouse clicks?

I've just upgraded to ver. 9 and now the Back button requires two mous clicks/

I might not have used the word "Normal". "Typical" maybe. I suppose "Normal" is acceptable in the context of "SNAFU".
Wait until you make an edit on one of your own posts to fix a stupid typo, then later look to find the typo back and you can no longer edit it. And what's up with that messed-up Javascript that shows up at the top of some quoted messages?
These forums are barely usable, but a bright spot is the color-managed photo attachment capability (i.e., you can upload an image with a non-sRGB color profile and the server will convert it). I suppose if anything Adobe could have been expected to get that part right.

How do i get the back button on my android device to function right?

How do i get the back button to got back to the previous screnn I was on?

I usually use a code such as...
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, backKeyGo);
function backKeyGo(e:KeyboardEvent):void
    if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.BACK)
     e.preventDefault();
     if(options_mc.visible == true){
       //i use the above line in case the options menu has been clicked
         options_mc.visible = false;
         //them i remove any event listners that the options menu may have added
        }else if(options_mc.visible == false){
         //add your code here to go back to previous page , frame etc
         //remove any eventlistners

The back button is there but never works. It didn't open in a new tab or window but the back button isn't functioning. I just downloaded Firefox 5.

Actually, all my details are in that looong question I asked. ; )
I am ready to go back to 3.6 or whatever version I had because 4 and 5 have had these issues. I tried 4 before but now that I have 5 and the same issue, I remember that I saw this before.
As I was typing this note, I looked up and saw the back button is actually working on this site. Weird.
Also, there isn't a button next to the back and forward so I can see my history. Where is that, now? Sometimes, I want to go back 3 or 4 pages at once without loading each page the slow way. Awww, what am I saying? You all know what I mean. :\
I am using Windows 7 and have been using Firefox for years, so I am familiar with it and it is my only browser of choice so I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode]

All of a sudden it seems firefox has forgotten where it is all the time. All my bookmarks and rss feeds are gone and a lot of times it forgets my saved usernames and passwords. The back button has ceased functioning as well.

It just started out of the blue, its like it just forgot everything I've done since I downloaded it years ago. Plus the back button doesn't work anymore. It's like it has constant amnesia.

Sounds that some SQLite database files are corrupted.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

Why does Safari refresh the page when using the back button?

Safari didn't use to do this.
Even on these forums, when you hit the back button to go back exactly where you were at, if there are new posts, the entire page may have changed. I knew exactly the next post I wanted to look at before the page was refreshed. Now, I can't even find the post I wanted to read unless I scroll through the entire list again.
I need to be able to go back to the page I was just on and not have it refresh.
I need to go back exactly where I was.
Safari can't even go back properly as it wants to go back near the top of the last page I was on.
I need it to go back exactly where I was at.
I have no idea what the engineers are thinking about this one.
FireFox works properly when going back to the prior page.
I have long lists on pages I work with.
For example:
1. through 1,000.
If I am on reference number 500 on the previous page, when I hit back, it goes all the way back up to around 20 in the list.
I have to then scroll manually page down to 500 where I was at.
This is tedious, cumbersome and unnessesary.
Safari was much better before it was updated to this horrible behavior.
I don't know of any preferences you can change to change this odd behavior.
Anyone know of anyway to stop this horrible behavior in Safari?
This is like reading a book, but when you go back a page, the entire page may have changed and I have no idea where I was at.
Pretty $iss poor in my opinion.

Yes, that is correct.
However, you can also use the mouse or trackpad to swipe back a page and it still refreshes the last page.
Safari never did this back in Snow Leopard and maybe some versions of Safari in Lion.
However, Safari in Mountain Lion always does this.
It is very cumbersome using the "open link in new window" or "open link in new tab".
It was much better just being able to click the back button or swiping to get back exactly where you were on the prior page.
Hopefully more people will send Apple feedback on this.
Thanks for sharing.

Clicking the back button now causes a drop down of past sites to show up in addition to moving back a page. It won't go away until clicking somewhereIrritating

Whenever I click the back button, the browser will go back a page and also open a drop down of past pages. This drop down won't go away until I click somewhere. It is irritating and it never used to have this functionality. In fact, my laptop at work does not do this. I am using 37.0.2. Is there an option somewhere to disable this? I don't mind having the drop down, but not EVERY time I click back.

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Is there a way to control the "back button"?

i've got a simple animation intro, ending with the very last
key frame being static with links. then the links will bring up
another page in the same window. but i was wondering if there was a
way in flash to control the back button to bring the user to that
very last key-frame, at the end of all the animation. thereby
skipping over the intro-animation.
also:
i have an html intro page, where you can go to the flash
introduction, or the peoples' old website, or to a Flash-Player
download window. i was wondering if there was a way to create a
link to that end key-frame in order to by-pass the animated flash
intro.
thanks for your help

gotoAndPlay(32) if you have a continuos animation after that
frame and you want to continue it; the number within the brackets
is the number of the frame you want to go to. Or else if you want
to go to a particular frame and stop there, gotoAndStop(32);
