Using the mouse in windows
Okay this is going to be a simple answer I know, so don't roll your eyes. But when it asks me to "right click" how do you do it on this mouse? If I click the right side of the mouse it just moves all of my documents apart and back together again. Same if I use the left. Help thanks Deb.
make sure you only have one finger on the mouse when you click the right side of the mouse. The button/scroll ball in the middle is set up by default to bring up Expose ( all the open windows) Even a slight touch with a second finger on the mouse can cause the mouse to NOT right click properly.
All of this applies on the MAC and Windows side but I'm not sure what the default windows set up is.

How to dismiss the spelling dialogue without using the mouse
I'd appreciate the right tip from anyone on how to dismiss the spelling dialogue in Mail without using the mouse. (I'm one of those guys who likes to use the keyboard as much as possible.) Here's the scenario:
I open a new message in Mail, type my text, press Cmd-Shift-D, then (because I have it set to check spelling when I "click send") up pops the spelling dialogue. That's fine as far as it goes, but many times I don't need any corrections because either I don't care or because the words are fine but just not recognized by Mail. So until now what I do is use the mouse to click on the far left one of the three round buttons in the upper left corner of the dialogue. I would like not to have to use the mouse, but pressing Esc or any other keys I try doesn't work to make it go away.
Your advice is welcome! Thanks.Well, that window is actually a floating window, which means that it is meant to hang around. Notice that if you move Mail to the background (without hiding it), the spelling window hides itself, then shows itself again when you bring Mail back to the front. Floating windows are kind of in their own little world, meant to float above windows while not interfering with keystrokes sent to the frontmost window.
I would argue that it shouldn't be a floater, because nobody's going to want it around once they're done checking spelling. But that's kind of a matter of opinion, and obviously Mail's designers thought differently.
BTW, in the course of writing this, I discovered something -- if you click in the spelling window, so that you could type in the field there, Command-W will actually close the floater. But, of course, that still requires a click in the window with the mouse. -
Drawing connected direct lines using the mouse
Hallo all,
What I want to do is, to draw connected lines on a graph using just the mouse...
First I will define min and max values for (x,y) -graph range- using the property node...
Then using the mouse I want to draw frequency ramps over time like in FMCW modulation... For example it will just draw the ramps by connecting several points marked by my mouse clicks on the graph. Moreover I need the (x,y) values that I click on the graph...
Thanks,
OgulcanHmm, this does not sound very clear. Do you want the cursor to follow the mouse even when the mouse button is up. If you have multiple cursors, which one should be followed? What should happen if you move the mouse outside the window? How do you release the cursor from the mouse when done?
I think it is much easier if you just drag the cursors via the normal mechanism. It is most direct and intuitive. See attached LabVIEW 7.1 example. For another example of moving points, have a look at this older thread..Message Edited by altenbach on 06-28-2005 10:13 AM

Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete files without the need to use the mouse? In OS X Mavericks.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete files without the need to use the mouse in OS X Mavericks?
my question is precise
Not exactly........
Cmd-Delete deletes a selected file without a mouse.
What you want, I think, is a way to select the file (presumably in Finder) without a mouse so that it can be deleted.
If you open a new Finder window - Cmd-N you can navigate with the up/down arrow keys as you navigate a file is selected , once selected it can be deleted with cmd-delete.
If while navigateing with the up/dpwn arrow keys you encounter a folder you can delete the folder with cmd-delete or open the folder with the right arrow and proceed to naviagte and delete. -
Firefox will not let me use the mouse to click on a product so i am having to use the tab key. Please help me to be able to use my mouse to click the box.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

When I open the web browser I cannot see the whole page and I cannot move the image sideways and must use the mouse scroll to move up and down.
Try the following:

User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

Since yesterday, when I installed a firefox update, I cannot use the mouse to select pages. When selecting an drop down menu, I need to use the keyboard. When opening a file, it does not allow me to select the forefront window. Basically, the mouse is useless. This happens in different webpages and these pages work well in Chrome or Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Pls fix. Even for posting this question, I need to use the keyboard to use the drop down menu below.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?OMG!! It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader. If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.

How to get the position of a selected cell in a table without using the mouse event?
Dear All,
I have a question about table:After clicking the cell of a table, the cell is into the edit status. How to know the row number and column number of the cell, when I click a button?
The link below is using the mouse down event:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=260102&query.id=55917#M260102
Is there any other way to do it? Having tried to using the "edit position" property, but it seems not working well.
Thanks for any suggestion.

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.
First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on. -
When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.
Nothing other than updates (using Mac Software Update and Firefox Update) has been done to this computer (it's a 2002 Power Mac G4-Dual 1.25GHz).When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long.

Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before
help! Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before ><
In the past I was just able to go into the mouse control settings in control panel and reduce wheel scrolling to 1 page at a time. Now i'm not able to scroll one album at a time anymore, even though my mouse control panel is still set to scroll at one page at a time. Its skipping two albums ahead now and I can't pin point to the album I want now unless if I click on it. I haven't used ituens in awhile so it must be something new on the last 2 updates, I don't see anything in the perference menu.
thxI can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

Captivate 4 - Use the mouse and keyboard at the same time.
Hello, good people.
There is a way, in C4, to use the mouse and the keyboard at the same time?
An example, in software simulation:
"Hold the Shift key and click with the mouse in the other object to select it too..."Hi all
I also understand the need for such a feature. Not saying I need it myself, but that I do understand it.
What really needs to happen here is for everyone else that would need to use such a feature to request it from the Adobe Captivate Development team. See, the thing is, it's like a big election system. The more folks that request a specific feature, the higher it ranks on the Adobe development radar.
So anyone that wants to see this feature should request it using the link below.

How to select rows or columns of tables without using the mouse?
2nd post ever! Yeah! \m/
In Excel, I can select entire rows or columns of data WITHIN TABLES--i.e., not selecting entire sheet rows or columns--by going to any cell on the perimeter of the table, holding down shift+ctrl, and clicking a direction arrow. So for example, if I have a table in columns D-G and rows 1-5, I can highlight row 4 by going to the first or last cell of that row, holding down the shift+ctrl, and hitting the appropriate direction arrow. You might think this is superfluous given that you can use the mouse to select cells. But that becomes cumbersome with large tables, and this method can be more efficient even with small tables.
Similarly, it's often useful to navigate tables, particularly large ones, by moving from any cell within the table to the end or beginning of that row or column by holding down ctrl and hitting the appropriate arrow key. In Excel, this ctrl+arrow key method also allows you to skip blank cells, which is another very useful navigational feature.
I tried numerous combos involving shift, ctrl, command, alt/option and the arrow keys. Haven't found a way to do any of this yet.
Anyone?Hi Josh,
Numbers is organized differently than Excel, and the navigation tools are different too. Many of us miss our particular favorites from spreadsheets past, but this is Numbers, not a clone. The biggest adjustment is to go from huge monolithic sheet-tables containing virtual sub-tables to a simple blank sheet with small tables, sometimes many per sheet. Navigating is no big deal in these small tables and neither is getting from one small table to another, using the Sheets pane.
Selecting a particular Table is as easy as clicking on the table's name in the Sheets pane. Selecting a particular row, or column, or ranges of rows or columns is done by clicking on the table's row and column labels, left side and top side once a cell is selected in the table.
Numbers is weak at handling large Tables and documents that are large overall. We know this and many of us still prefer it to the alternative when the tool fits the task.

I downloaded the most recent version of firefox and since then when I type a web address into the address bar, I can no longer just press enter to get to the website I want, Instead, I have to use the mouse to point to the arrow at the end of the address bar and click on it.
Driving me nuts! Never had this before!Success! I disabled the AVG search and now I can press enter to get to a web page! Thanks for the quick response!
