VNC issues: secondary mouse button and pixel depth.

Hi,
Recently I've started to manage a Windows PC running an UltraVNC server 1.0.2 with ARD 3.1. The VNC viewer in ARD 3.1 is very good and stable ( thanks for the reconnection mechanism wich is not present in other viewers ).
But I don't know how to adjust pixel depth for slow connections ( image quality control doesn't work ) and also I don't know how to send a right mouse button click to the remote PC.
Any idea ? Is it possible at all ?
Regards,
Joan

Gee, thanks for the helpful answer, sig.
I eventually found an uninstaller app in the Utilities folder that I was able to get to via the keyboard. Turns out it's the Apple preference pane that isn't taking into account the Microsoft Mouse one. I don't know if that's because MS didn't hook it properly or what, but just in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Mouse buttons and keyboard randomly stop responding on secondary display

Hey,
I'm facing this weird problem after a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard:
In about half of the cases I'm switching to application windows on a secondary/external display the mouse buttons and Macbook keyboard are unresponsive. I have to keep clicking/pressing for some time or have to switch between applications to get them working, until they'll fail again after some time.
I tested it with two different external displays with VGA and DVI adapter, different screen resolutions, I tested the mouse and mouse software, both keyboard and mouse work fine with the same applications moved to the primary laptop screen, trackpad works fine too.
This occurred after the upgrade to Snow Leopard on a 2008 unibody Macbook. Updates to 10.6.2 didn't solve the problem.
I'd be happy if anyone could help me with this issue.
Thanks

You do not provide the full model number but if it is an AMD processor you are seeing the start of video issues that plague that series. The freeze is caused by bad video memory which is a part of the video card in turn part of the motherboard. I have been getting a high percentage of people who do not respond back to posts so I am not going to write everything about your issue; it could be a book. I am happy to help further if you have any questions. There are some repair options but at the end of the day, you might want to consider a new laptop.

Secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec

*Secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec even if still pressed* since upgrade to snow leopard. I have to use extra switches attached via USB being unable to move my arms.
Apart from that Airport works after adding Location, I am still not able to access internet or mail, skype and time machine backups work. Switching to my neighbours unsecured WLAN I have no problems accessing mail and internet.
A guest with a PC was also unable to use my WLAN, he was able to connect (gave him password) but could not use internet.
Any ideas? The "secondary mouse button automatically releases after 3 sec" issue seems not to be posted yet.

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

UNIX Script to enable secondary mouse Button by Workgroup Manager OSX Server 10.6

Dear Apple Pro's
I've got a question. Iam Working in an Educatinial sector (schools) more than 300 mac's. We got 2 Xservers where one is a management server. I'm looking for a longtime for a Unix Script, that can able our secondary mouse button. In the preferences from the workgroupmanger, there is no option for this.
I've have to add an application preference manually but i dont really know how to!. Apple script is not the way were usring ARD 3.3.

Roderik

Perhaps it is the Mouse settings in the System Preferences. I don't have a Magic Mouse, and I know it has different preferences, so maybe you can enable or disable the secondary mouse button in that prefpane.
You would have to figure out what the preference is by looking into the com.apple.mouse.plist for a user that has enabled it in the system preferences.
When I'm hunting down plists, I open the user/Library/Preferences folder and put it in List view. Then sort by Date Modified descending so that all changed files pop to the top. Then I open System Prefs and go to the prefpane that makes the changes. When you change the setting in the prefpane, you should see the file pop to the top of the Finder list. However, if it is in the global prefs, you won't see anything changes. There is a hidden global preferences file which you can read in the Terminal with:
defaults read -g
You'd have to just read through the list and see if you can find a setting for mouse secondary click or something like that.
If you do see one change, open it and look for the setting.
The standard way to set preferences is with the defaults write command. Use man defaults in the Terminal to see it's syntax, but basically it is:
defaults write com.apple.mouse keyItem keyValue
Note that you don't need the .plist on the end. You'll have to figure out if the magic mouse has a different plist and what the dictionary keys are.
As an example, if the dictionary key is enableSecondaryClick and the plist is com.apple.mouse.plist, then the defaults command would be:
defaults write com.apple.mouse enableSecondaryClick 1
That's a one on the end indicating 'yes'. You sometimes can also use -bool yes or -bool no, depending on what it is expecting (but I've found 0, 1 and -bool no, -bool yes interchangeable).
Update: googling for "magic mouse disable right-click" I found two possible plists (and there is a setting, but I don't know what it is):
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist + com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist

How can I disable right/left mouse buttons and scroll wheel in PDF?

Hi all,
I want the user to have to click on "forward" and "back" buttons that I've created in the PDF, in order to move around in it. Is there any way to disable the mouse buttons and scroll wheel from allowing users to go back and forth?
Also, a separate question: I want the user to click on embedded images and receive either a pop-up comment, or be re-directed to another page in the PDF. Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks for your time!

You can achieve what you want in Question 1, just not via scripting. You would need to create a plug-in in C/C++ that would be installed on the client machine. Other than that option, try67 is correct - there is no way to achieve this from the document-level.

Lenovo Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with Trackpoint: Middle mouse button and scrolling

I got this keyboard (KU-1255).
Unfortunately, it generates bogus mouse button events if I click the middle mouse button and use the trackpoint:
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" disabled, the middle mouse button is released as soon as I move the trackpoint while still pressing the button!
Expected behaviour: The middle mouse button is pressed, the event created. Moving the trackpoint moves the cursor normally. Releasing the middle button creates a corresponding event.
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" enabled, the button is registered as pressed, then scrolling occurs as I move the trackpoint and the button is released if I release it.
Expected behaviour: No middle mouse button event is registered if I move the trackpoint. Pressing and releasing the middle mouse button is only registered if I click the button without moving the trackpoint.
When will there be a firmware update available for the keyboard, like for the SK-8855?
Since I am also using Linux, I would be really interested in fixing this in the firmware, not only getting a new Windows driver.

Help please.

Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

Have you tried to edit your settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse?

Mouse Buttons and Modifiers

Why is there so much confusion about mouse buttons and modifiers?
Looking over past postings there seems to be differing opinions about
how the mouse buttons work with modifiers in mouse events.
My specific question is how to use ALT as a modifier.
Using InputEvent.BUTTON*_MASK, *=1,2,3, you can determine which button
is pressed, and this works fine as well with SHIFT and CNTRL modifiers.
However, when ALT is held down both buttons 1 and 3 also set the
BUTTON2_MASK. I suppose that this is a mechanism designed to support
three button functions with two button mice. Holding down ALT lets you
produce a middle button signal. Great - if you want it!
Is it possible to disable this functionality so that ALT and the three
buttons can be used independently with no ambiguity?

There is the MouseEvent.isAltDown() that returns a boolean value, so do:
public void MousePressed(MouseEvent me)
boolean mClick=(!me.isAltDown && ((me.getModifiers() & me.BUTTON2_MASK)!=0))) //middle mouse button
boolean altClick=(me.isAltDown && !((me.getModifiers() & me.BUTTON2_MASK)!=0))) //alt left or right click
}Note: this code is untested, but it should work because I've done Alt-click and isAltDown worked for left and right click.

I can't remove Yandex Elements from the Open menu list with right mouse button and Tools menu although I removed Yandex. I think it slows down Firefox.

I downloaded Freeyoutube downloader from internet and somehow got yandex installed in my computer with toolbars on firefox.Despite I removed Yandex from my computer Yandex elements still stays in open menu when right mouse button clicked and in the Tools menu. I tried to uninstall Firefox, remove yandex registry from windows registry and restart computer, and then reinstall firefox, Yandex elements still hangs there. Firefox is now running very slow compared to the running before Yandex.

Iphoto ver 8.1.2 unable to open iphoto. can hold down mouse button and 1 page of iphoto will open. click anywhere on screen and iphoto closes

Cannot open iPhoto. It's on the toolbar, but will not open. I can hold the mouse over the icon and hold the mouse button down and iPhoto will open to a thumbnail photo, but if I click anywhere on the page, iPhoto closes. iPhoto shows open on top of page, but practically all selectable items are gray.

It sounds like the window might have slipped down below the Dock or similar. Try change your screen resolution and (SystemPreferneces -> Displays) and that should force it back into reach. The return the resolution to whatever it was.

IMac 21.5 inch mid 2011 white screen when I wake it, holding down mouse button and sweeping the screen restores the desktop. Any one else had this and what was the solution?

When the Mac is awaken from sleep mode the screen is white. I can hold the mouse button down and sweep the screen and the desktop reappears and everything works as normal..This just started and I am concerned that some hardware, video card or video memory is failing. Has anyone else had this problem and what was the solution?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Issue in disabling button and retaining search results of query bean

Hi,
I need help in 2 issues
1) I have a query bean and an advanced table attached to it. I have enabled table actions and put a button inside that. The requirement is the button should be enabled only if a record is present in the advanced table. If for a search parameter, no results are displayed in the advanced table, the button should remain disabled. The moment the results are populated in advanced table the button should be enabled. Please let me know how this can be achieved.
2) In the advanced table there is a column of type Link. On clicking this link i am forwarding the control to some other OAF page AA. I am retaining AM here. From this new OAF page AA user can move to some other OAF pages B or C. All these pages have different AM. There is a link called return to original page on page AA which takes user back to the search screen. When user goes to page AA and comes back to search screen without going to page B or C the search results are displayed on the page, but when user goes from page AA to page B or C and finally returns to the search screen, the data in search results along with search criteria are lost. The search screen is completely blank.
I need to display the search results/search criteria no matter what navigation user is doing. Is there a way i can save the search query that got executed on the click of search button. I can re-execute the query when user comes back on search screen.
Please let me know how to achieve these 2 functionalities.
Thanks,
VG

For (1)
I guess you want to select single/multiple rows after the table is populated in table and perform an action using button.
If that is the case then do not put button under table actions. Instead put it under multiselection region. Then button only gets displayed when rows are populated.
If that is not the case then get a handle to button (use findChildRecursive, findIndexedChildRecursive may not work) and disable/enable it.
For (2).. If you are on r12 below can be useful :- (taken from 12.1 framework guide)
Using Search Persistence
In the past, if a user performed a search and then drilled down to a details page, search criteria was lost when
the user navigated back to the Search page, unless the developer retained the AM or created a custom
implementation to persist the search criteria. As of Release 12, developers no longer need a custom
implementation to persist search criteria, as the query region now has an automatic search persistence
mechanism in place.
Generally speaking, you should still retain the AM in favor of using the automatic search persistence
mechanism for performance optimization reasons. However, if retaining the AM presents a scalability issue
because the underlying view object (VO) had hundreds of attributes, then you should you turn off retainAM and
allow the query region to automatically handle all the search criteria binding and use the automatic search
persistence mechanism.
Note: If you retain the AM state, the automatic search persistence mechanism will not be active. The search
persistence mechanism is automatic only if the AM state is not retained.
When a user selects the Go button to initiate a search on the query region, the OAQueryBean automatically
caches the search criteria on the user session. After the user drills down to the detail page of the Search
results and then returns to the Search page, the OAQueryBean restores the search criteria from the cache and
re-executes the query using that saved critieria.
Note: Since the query is re-executed, any sort, navigation or transient UI state of the results table will not be
preserved. Saving the entire table state presents high overhead which is what this particular feature is trying to
avoid.
