USB mouse to top right of screen = Mission Control!!

It's really quite frustrating! Whenever I move my USB mouse towards the top right of the screen, Mission Control opens.
I am often trying to open another tab in my Internet browser and every time I go to do it (mouse to top right of screen) the desktop shrinks and Mission Control opens. It seems to me to be like 'Gestures' that you can get with a Magic Mouse or a Trackpad but I use neither!
Is there a way to disable this? I've searched in all aspects of System Preferences but with no joy.

Your welcome!
You should also change your ASC profile to 10.8.5 instead of 10.6.2

Last time that happened to me, I deleted my prefs file to fix it.

Which iOS version is the iPhone running?

HT4199 In the middle of using wi-fi on my Mac Book Pro, I lost contact. When I click onto the empty wi-fi icon, top right of screen I get the message Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. Any clues anyone?

In the middle of using wi-fi on my MacBook Pro, I lost contact. No other apple devices (iMac, iPhone or iPad) are affected. When I click on the empty wi-fi icon (top right of the screen) it gives the message: Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. has anyone any clues?

Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. has anyone any clues?
Unfortunately, this message is almost always an indication that the internal AirPort card on the Mac has failed and will need to be replaced. This is a job for repair shop.
If you have a recent Mac, a Hardware Test may reveal this as well:

In an album, many pictures would show on the screen and double clicking one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger photo shows and along the bottom severa smaller ones. Options which used to be at the top right of screen no longer show. Whel

In Aperture album about 16 photos would show on screen and double clicking on one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger image shows with about 7 photos at bottom. Options for controlling this no longer appear at top right. How do I correct this?

Do you mean the "View" controls are missing in your Toolbar?
To add these controls back to the Toolbar, use the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar". Drag the View Controls back to the Toolbar.

Acrobat X page shows small page image at top right of screen. Need to remove

Acrobat X on Windows 8.1. Recently Acrobat has started showing a small representation of the current page at the top right of the screen. I don't need this and would like to kill it permanently in all files. For example apart from blocking some text, it prevents me deleting a page unless I x it off. I have looked through all menus and searched on-line. Help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi jonrichco,
This representation appears while scrolling up/down a PDF file. You can just close it by clicking at the 'cross' mark on the right side of this small window.

Adium Question (I think!) - Flag in top right of screen

Hi,
I was playing around trying to change my settings in Adium, and somehow managed to get a "flag" icon to appear in the top right bar of my screen (next to the volume/time/battery indicators). I think it came from Adium, but I'm not 100% sure!
If I click on the "flag" I have various options to do with showing a character palette.
Any ideas how to get rid of this?
Thanks in advance.

hi
System Preferences > International > Input Menu tab
at the bottom is a clickbox "Show input menu in menu bar" - uncheck it.
BTW i happen to like this menu up there - it makes it quick & easy to 'Show Keyboard Viewer' - which is the equivalent to 'Key Caps' from the old days (i.e. show what characters from a given font are mapped to what keyboard key combinations)...
cheers

X6 - flashing envelope at top right of screen?

Have a new X6 and I have a constantly flashing envelope on top right hand side of screen. Think it might be a notification that the SIM is full. If that is correct how do I deal with it please? If I am not correct what does this symbol mean please?
Solved!

Try going to messaging-options-settings-other-select memory in use to E mass memory or F memory card ! Should stop your flashing envelope for good

Numbers at top right of screen

I installed the latest versions of quicktime/itunes (as of 7-2008) and whenever i view any video on either program, i get a two digit counter at the top right hand side of the screen which changes from yellow to red periodically and seems to count at random. I uninstalled itunes and upgraded quicktime to 7 pro but the thing is still there. it's even there when i play the PC game "WALL-E", which i assume must be because it uses quicktime for the movie sequences. How do I get rid of the **** thing?

I've never heard of this happing...you might have more (the computer) wrong than meets the eye.

Airport icon in top right of screen

my airporst icon in the top right of the screen has disappeared. any suggestions on how to bring it back?
Was it removed in an update or something sinister like that?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ and open it from there; there may also be a checkbox to display it in the Network pane of System Preferences.

Blue Envelope Icon (Top Right of Screen)

I've had this blue envelope icon on the top right of my screen with the red star in middle (indicating a new unread item). I have marked all my emails in the inbox as read and have (accidentally) deleted all my calendar items from both Outlook and on the Blackberry itself.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this icon?
Thanks!

Brand new iPhone 4 top-right hand screen hangs!!!

I hav jus got an iPhone 4 and has been using it for the past 3 days. There is one problem which I hav noticed, that is my top right screen got hang in some applications like message, Facebook and whatsapp or even notes. I am unable to press e.g write message icon, or refresh the most recent, top news icon... Anyone got any suggestion to resolve? I hav tried to do a double hard reset but no avail... To go back for 1-to-1 replacement is the last thing which I want to do as the replacement set will affect the reselling price of the iPhone as experienced buyer can tell the difference between brand new and replacement set.

i got the phone off of ebay, the guy was a trusted seller 100% feedback and sold loads of them with no complaints. he said if i go to the apple store because its brand new they would replace it but i am not sure they will. is there any other way to prove that its sim free or on a fixed network?
thanks

I am using Mail for emails and I seem to have two different windows that switch between the two. The emails are the same but the second window opens when I click on any details and I cannot see the top of my screen with control icons for internet, file

I am not very tech savy and apologize in advance if my question is not clear. I use the Mail application on my mac and I have two users on my computer, one for gmail and another for my work email. All email addresses appear in the mail application on one page. When I open my email and click on a message it often goes to the other user screen and cuts off the top of my screen which shows the bar for Chrome, file, edit, view, history etc....Still functional but very annoying. How do I choose a user screen and stop having it switch back and forth.
Thank you.

yesterday i swapped the usb port, and then it works fine..
the problem is only on the right had side USB port, can my USB be malfuncitoning, or is it a software issus, I also tried a different mosue, and the result is the same, terrible lag on the Right hand side USb port, and works fine on the Left hand side..

I lost my locator URL bar and my google window at top right of screen

Can not type a new address as there is no longer a Locator (URL) Window at top center of my browser. I can't type the address of a web site, and that's serious. Not so serious my Google search window at right top corner is gone, but if I had that I might find a way to recover the locator bar. HELP!

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
