Using mouse to scroll in notes locks up system

I just received Captivate 6 and noticed there are new up and down arrows on each line of the notes.  When I use my mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down the notes scroll bar, it locks up the presentation and I lose everything and have to start over.  I am also having issues with the audio not coming over when I publish although it is on the slide when I play the slide in preview mode.  Is there a fix to these issues I am having?

Interesting. If you are going with a screen control and mouse, you can
take the slider into the control editor, grow the thumb horizontally,
shrink it vertically, and then shrink the housing, the background behind
the thumb. This tinkering will make it harder for the slide to jump
around when initially clicked on. You will need to hit the thumb, but
that should have very little bump.
Another approach is to use a real pot or HW knob. A couple years ago I
was play
ing with iMovie and purchased a USB knob. By setting the
increment, min and max for a numeric, and configuring the knob to
produce up and down arrow keys, you can tab to the appropriate numeric,
then turn the knob. It is easy to set the knob to set the rate of the
keys sent, so you can also use the spring loaded lower ring to do a
constant velocity increment, turn the ring farther, and increment
faster, release and stop.
These knobs are not very expensive and can be found on the web. Mine
was from a company called Contour, not sure what their name is now.
A similar approach would be to use a USB joystick. There are some
joystick VIs on devzone I think.

  • Mouse/Trackpad Scroll Options Not Independent

    I'm using 10.7 on a MacBook (late 2008 Unibody). 
    I am getting used to "natural" scrolling with the trackpad (slide up/page down) with Lion, and understand the reasoning behind it (to match iOS--I have an iPhone, so I'm already familiar the the slide up/page down scrolling).  However, because of the behavior of scroll wheels on many computers I encounter frequently and habit, I want to keep my scroll wheel with the traditional setup (scroll wheel down/page down).
    When I go into System Preferences->Mouse and uncheck the "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" box, the mouse returns to traditional scrolling (down/down).  Unfortunately, my trackpad now starts behaving in the same manner (down/down), even though the "Scroll direction: natural" box in the remains checked under the Trackpad pane (it should operate up/down with that setting, but doesn't).  If I quit System Preferences and then relaunch it, the "Scroll direction: natural" box is now unchecked, even though I did nothing to it.  If I recheck it, and then immediately go to the Mouse pane, the "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" box remains unchecked.  However, both trackpad and the mouse now use the "natural" (up/down) scrolling, when only the trackpad should.  If I quit and relaunch System Preferences, the box in the Mouse pane is now checked, even though I did nothing to it. 
    It seems that the scroll preferences for the mouse and trackpad should and were meant to be separate and independent, since they each have the box under their individual panes, but they are not operating separately.  Are there any ways to fix this so I don't have to change the preferences every time I switch from the trackpad to the mouse?

  • Bluethooth Mouse can scroll but not click

    Hi All,
    I was searching around the disucssion groups and I hope I did not miss a solution for my problem - so, if I double the problem submission I apologize!
    I have a weird issue and apparently Apple support cannot help as well.
    I recently bought an iMac 24 and added to it the bluetooth mighty mouse as well as the bluetooth keyboard, both worked fine and I love the functionality (once you know the keyboard shortcuts) and the design.
    After a week or two the bluetooth mouse kept scrolling but did not accept any left or right click anymore. I deleted it from the bluetooth device list, set it new up, but it did not help! I talked to Apple and they assumed the mouse was broken and offered to send a new one, which I received next day. The new mouse was installed next day and worked since then. This morning I was setting up some copy processes to a new external HDD and all over sudden, the bluetooth mouse keeps scolling but does not accept any click anymore. I set it new up, reinstalled both keyboard and mouse in different install orders, but nothing works - still the mouse only scrolls but does not accept click.
    Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be and can be resolved - any help is HIGHLY appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

    Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook.  For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number. 
    My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007.  I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp.  If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM.  But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue.  I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working.  I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine.  I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized. 

    Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
    Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
    Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

  • Mouse will scroll up, not down.   Any fixes?

    I'm a new mac guy having bought an imac a few months ago.
    I've been working on this regularly up to and including a lot today. All of a sudden, just a moment ago, my mouse (the USB one that came standard) will scroll up on web-sites but not down. Make that in all settings, not just web-sites.
    Unlike the PC mouse I was accustomed to, I don't see a way to clean anything on this one. I feel it's too new to already be worn out but maybe these things have a very short life.
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    Hi Clayton: I have seen this issue pop up a few times on here. This is what Apple has to say about cleaning the mouse. I don't have first hand experience doing this, but it looks fairly straight forward on the little instructional video.

  • Mouse touchpad scroll settings not saved on reboot windows 10

    The scroll settings are not been saved when rebooting the laptop. Just recently updated from windows 8.1 to windows 10. All was working before the update. The driver version that is 19.0.12.95, driver date 15/07/2015. Also as you can see on the inserted picture that in the test area it is black so no testing can be done. 

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I read your post about the Windows 10 update, and wanted to assist you!
    Have you tried installing updated drivers using the HP Support Assistant, or the Windows Update?  Please review the following document, to see if it helps:HP Products - Where Do I Find Windows 10 Drivers and Software for My Model? If you are still having trouble, then I recommend using the Go back to an earlier build option, in your System Settings:
    HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 10
    Once you are back to your original Operating System, check to see if you are experiencing the same issue. If not, then you may consider holding off on the Windows 10 update for a few weeks, until drivers can be updated. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.
    Have a great day!

  • Does Toshiba lock the system at factory?

    Hi,
    ok - further to my previous post trying to reinstall the OS using the recovery CDs on a replacement hdd in a Satellite A30 (I tested and eliminated the possibility of partition and gb size problems)
    I have a question if Toshiba locks the system so I can't actually replace the hdd and won't be able to use the recovery CDs. I went into bios to autodetect the new hdd and the option was greyed out and couldn't be selected.
    Any experience with this? Cheers
    NJ

    Hi,
    usually they are not locked, I dont know how you can imagine it, just by seeing some bios option. Did you already tried to exchange the HDD?
    If no, just do it, the HDD will be recognized by the system and you would be able to use it since toshiba DOES NOT lock their systems.
    I know it because I have now about 5 machines from toshiba and by every machine the HDD was replaced so I never had any problems with it.

    P.S.: And please forget the bios, you wont really need it.. :)

  • Issue with Adobe Muse parallax jitters with mouse wheel scrolling vertically.

    Hi all,
    I'm learning Adobe Muse for the first time to put together a wedding website (http://mattandsangeeta.businesscatalyst.com/index.html), so bear with me as I'm a novice at the software - though I do have the most up version, Adobe Muse CC 2014.
    So far, it's been an excellent platform, and for the most part the site functions incredibly well. However, one key flaw I've noticed in it is the parallax scrolling speed when using a mouse.
    The parallax portion of the site jitters badly, and while we've found a few improvements for the issue (the best was making sure there was nothing that had scrolling set to "0"), I'm still at a loss for how to get smooth scrolling transition speeds. Every forum Adobe has seems to be showcasing the features, and not troubleshooting this particular issue. A lot of posts are similar, but none seem to be resolved. I've noticed that other parallax pages are smoother with the mouse wheel scrolling down, so I'm hoping it's just an issue with Muse that has a setting or snippet of code that can remedy the issue.
    What makes me realize it's the mouse wheel scrolling, and not the site itself, is because whenever I access the site on my surface pro tablet, the parallax runs buttery smooth with touch control or even trackpad control. Same when you click the middle scroll button and pan down. Without any mouse wheel scrolling, it looks great! But with a mouse wheel, it hiccups constantly and ruins the effect.
    So, is there any way to smooth out the steps that the mouse wheel scrolling seems to be causing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Thanks for the link, however that specific thread was one of the ones I referenced in my original post.
    In the beginning of the thread, it's clear that coding can fix the issue, though it's not recommended. More telling is that the response you referenced indicates that the issue is claimed to have been either fixed or mitigated In updated releases of Muse.
    As you pointed out earlier, however, Firefox displays the parallax a little better than Chrome, and much better than Internet Explorer. I'm assuming that Adobe Muse Creative Cloud 2014 release attempted to this issue.
    So my question kind of remains: am I missing a setting that would make the scrolling more smooth, or is it simply just a limitation of the browser / software / parallax combination?
    Thanks again for the responses.

  • My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

    My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience?  I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Mouse scroll wheel not working correctly.

    Just installed Firefox 4 and my mouse scroll wheel is not working correctly. When opening the program, I can scroll as normal for about 5/10 minutes. Then, suddenly, the mouse scroll wheel no longer works. I've since found that it is actually scrolling outside of Firefox. E.g. I had Outlook open and it was scrolling through my Outlook even though Firefox was the open window. I checked this multiple times and it always seems to be the case.
    Checked about:config as advised, everything looks correct on the mousewheel settings (i.e everything is set to default). Mouse drivers are up to date. No problems with any other programs. This issue started occurring in Firefox 4 beta. I switched back to 3.6 so I could continue scrolling. Updating to Firefox 4 caused the issue to recur.

    It seems a lot of people are having problems with the Mighty Mouse's scroll ball. I actually thought I was done for after just a few weeks of using my first (wired) one. But here I am years later with my wireless variant, beeing perfectly happy with it (in case you don't know, the wireless Mighty Mouse is a much better option due to it's laser based tracking system). In my experience, getting rid of fluff that interferes with the ball is quite easy on both types. Try blowing really hard directly at the trackball (optionally while you press it down with some pointed device) a few times. Rotate it and repeat as needed. Alternatively roll the mouse upside down on the microfiber cloth that probably came with your Mac.

  • Mouse Scroll is not working in safari

    Hi
    After instlling Safari on my Win 7, could not use mouse scroll to navigate through the pages (scroll up and down).
    Went through few posts and found the solution by installing "Microsoft Intellipoint latest software ver."
    Downloaded directly from Microsoft Download Center & now IT WORKS.
    Got the idea from PhDj's post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2390501?start=0&tstart=0, wanted to write in the same post but it's archived, thanks PhDj's.
    Have fun.

    thanks

    Enable the "Video chat enhancements" lab in Gmail or select 'enable high resolution video' in your Chat settings in iGoogle or Google+. The Video Chat Enhancements is under "Labs" in your Gmail Settings. It works fine.

  • My iMac mouse and trackpad will not scroll or swipe.  as far as I can tell, the settings are correct.

    I've had this Imac for a year and have had no problems until the mouse and trackpad both stopped scrolling a few weeks ago.  I'm guessing it is some setting that is causing this since both are not working but I'm about to toss this out the window cause Apple makes it nearly impossible to use the software without the ability to scroll and swipe.  I have checked the obvious settings.  Please Help!!

    how do you try to scroll ?
    some people are used to trackpads scrolling when they move their finger out in the right side or the likes
    with newer macs one scroll by placing 2 fingers beside eachother and moving them up and down

  • [X300] Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines Setting does not stick

    I often use an external mouse (no additional driver needed). After every reboot, the setting "Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines" in Control-Panel -> Mouse -> Wheel is reset to 1 (I am using Vista). This is really annoying because it slows down scrolling extremely.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    I think its caused somehow by the ALPS touchpad driver (The X300 has a really bad one, the Synaptics pads built in previous Thinkpads were WAY BETTER).

    wfaz wrote:
    VPN User ...
    Have you made any progress?  I am having no luck getting the X300 touchpad to scroll with MANY applications: Photoshop, Illustrator, Access to mention some.  I use Windows XP - another user has complained that with Vista he does not getting scrolling to work with iTunes, Live Search.  Plus, wheel events are not handled by the Remote Desktop, so anytime you are tunneling, you don't get touchpad scrolling.  I have been expecting a new UltraNav driver for months - but nothing yet.  I think I have tried every combination of touchpad and trackpoint settings possible, but maybe you know something I don't.
    WFaz
    I am sorry but the problem you describe is a completely different one. Personally, I don' t care for these few applications, especially iTunes and further rubbish. Fact is, the quality Ultranav2 Driver is much much worse compared to the Ultranav1 which uses a Synaptic touchpad. Responsiveness, accuracy, supported applications, bugs are much worse with the Ultranav2 used in X300.
    AFAIK adding applications to support the touchpad needs just adding them to some list in registry or what. But as I said, I never cared for that. The problem that the driver resets mouse settings when using it, I find much more disturbing.

  • Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

    Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches.  It only seems to have affected my email messages.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
