Whenever I click on my wireless mouse, a menu drops down containing several choices, and blocks the item that I clicked on.

I have an iMAC with the Yellowstone OS installed.  This problem existed on the previous OS as well.  Whenever I click on my wireless mouse, a menu drops down with several options on it.  This menu then blocks my ability to click directly on the desired item.  This is very irritating.

Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.  Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.

  • All drop down lists flicker on and off while typing or right clicking.

    All drop down lists in Firefox, whether it's the menu drop downs, the autocomplete drop downs in the URL bar or the Search field, or even autocomplete drop downs in website form fields, flicker on and off as I type, or when I'm right clicking a link to open in new window or trying to copy a link. I can sometimes get what I want by waiting for it to flicker on and clicking at just the right moment, but it often doesn't work at all. I have a fresh install of Firefox 13.0.1 with no running add ins, plugins or other 3rd party tools. (The troubleshooting info says I have the Adobe Create PDF Extension enabled, but it's not)
    None of the suggested fixes I've found in the forums seem to apply here, cause they're all related to add-ins that I don't have.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • I type into the Google box & when the suggestions appear in the drop-down they don't go into the box when I click on any of them

    On 3.6 if I start typing in the Google search box & get a drop-down list of suggestions & click on one of them that item appears in the box. With the 4.0 beta when I click on it the list goes away leaving whatever I typed in the box. Why?

    Any more on this? I've downloaded the latest version & still have the same problem with it. Is this a glitch on Firefox or something between Google & of Firefox. Just to check I reloaded 3.6 & checked. Google search works fine just like it used to. Why does Mozilla seem to be ignoring this? I don't think I'm alone on this, at least not according to this forum.

    I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
    The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
    That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
    Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
    I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
    The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.
    See here, "How to fix the Apple Magic Mouse!":

    My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?

    Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
    My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.

    Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries.

    In your Keychain under 'login' delete the VeriSign certificates and then quit and restart all browsers/itunes/app store.

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • Some times Safari crashes and quits the first time I click a link

    Hello there
    As the title says, some times Safari crashes and quits the first time I click a link on a webpage (after opening one or more bookmarks). Upon reopening Safari, everything is fine.
    Is there a fix?

  • Firefox fails to load many of the websites that I click

    Since two days ago my firefox browser can't load many of the websites that I click.
    I've read the suggestions from Support, cleared my cache and cookies but it didn't help.
    Now I'm thinking of refreshing Firefox or uninstall it and download a new one.
    But I'm asking the community to help me first with a suggestion before I do one of
    those two last resorts. I'd appreciate any help that will make it unnecessary for me to do
    one of those two actions.

    Hi there,
    I have the same issue: FireFox is not showing all images on the page.
    Noticed this in FireFox 5.0. Now I installed FireFox 5.0.1 and still have the same issue.
    The missing images do not even appear in Tools > Page Info > Media.
    The images are usually accessed using DIV tag with a CSS class which contains background-image style. Often, when page opens, the DIV is initially hidden, and JavaScript displays it. Sometimes, jQuery.html() adds such DIV tags, and images rarely appear. Sometimes they do, but more often they do not.
    If I install FireBug and use Inspect Element to find such a DIV, it is there, it contains the CSS class, the definition of the CSS class contains background-image style. If I click the icon to disable this style, and then click it again to enable it, the image immediately shows up.
    Seems to be caused by some optimization which does not detect images like these.
    Hope this helps you reproduce it.

    That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • When using google I am transferred to other web search sites and not the sites I am clicking on.

    While using Google I am being connected to other search sites and not the sites I am clicking to go to.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    It has nothing to do with Firefox -- it sounds like the sites you're trying to go to are already taken down. If that's the case, try clicking the Google's results' "Cached" button, or just try the other results Google gave you.

    When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

    You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

    Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.
    Settings > General > Keyboards > turn Auto-Correction Off.
    Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.
