Z8000 Left Handed Mouse problem

I recently bought an HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000, the pairing went smooth but when configure as a left handed device found that sometimes switches right/left mouse buttons at random. Actually I´m thinking the mouse is defective. Any other person having the same problem with left/right buttons??

yes I am also having this problem, the left click button becomes right click after few clicks, then it resets back to left button and so on.
Thanks HP, that product is awsome is it designed to work that way?? EXCELLENT WORK!!
I hope someone buys HP to straighten their product support and product quality a little bit.

Expand/Collapse a tree using a Left Handed Mouse not working

I have a couple of forms that use a tree item. If I set my mouse to be left handed I can no longer select a node on the tree or expand and collapse the nodes.
I'm using Oracle JInitiator: Version 1.3.1.17 and Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19 (Production).
Is Oracle Forms Leftist? :)

Hi, stumbled on this today...not a real techie fix but may be useful in your projects...
Left handed mouse setup as per MS Windows Mouse settings only allowed switching of primary and secondary mouse button function...(XP Pro).
Happened upon an NT Workstation and attempted to setup mouse as above, however on this workstation there was an MS Intellimouse set of software (5.2/4.1) in the mouse setup.
I switched the buttons to make it left handed...
Accessed our application and set about navigating the left hand tree, it worked normally single clicking on each node...prior to this the left tree was awkard for left hand mousers.
Installed these drivers on XP machine and same results...left hand tree works fine..
sorry if this low tech but I am a front end user rather than a coder.

Trackpad button for left-handed mouse users

Dunno if this has been documented elsewhere.
When PC style mouse is set-up for left handed use and then disconnected, the trackpad button remains useless and can only be used IF secondary button click is active.

MS

Incredible. I experience the same problem as the people above.
When I change the primary button, to use the mouse with my left hand, and disconnect the mouse, the click on the trackpad changes to a secondary-button-click. That's terrible! I can't even change it back without connecting the mouse again!
This wasn't the case in Tiger, I'm sure. Please Apple, fix this problem!

I am ambidextrous and when I use the mouse with my left hand I never change the buttons.

Left-handed mouse pointer in OS 9?

My Dad recently lost use of his right arm (he is right-handed) and so he now has to mouse left-handed. He is using OS 9 and wants to know if there is a way to change the mouse arrow (pointer) so that it is angled to the right (for a left handed person) instead of to the left (as most right-handed people like)?
Does anyone know of a way to do this in OS 9 and/or in OS X? He actually has two computers one running each OS.
Thanks!

Great going Niel... been searching for hours!
For OSX this plus Application Enhancer +may work+...

Setting up Left Handed Mouse option

I am only able to use the left hand and I am running both Mac OS and Vista VM Ware on my Macbook Air. I am using a wireless Kensington mouse because I needed two buttons to operate Vista.
Being left handed I configure the Apple System Preference panel so that:-
- the trackpad would NOT be disabled when I use the mouse
- the main button on the mouse was the right button (since I cannot use my right hand).
Mouse works fine but since I have selected these options the trackpad mouse is simply disabled! But if I reset the mouse option to left button as main button, then both mouse and trackpad bar work.
THIS IS A BUG that is in the way of disabled people! Can you please provide a fix which allows me to use a mouse for left handed, WITHOUT at the same time disabling the trackpad bar/mouse?

Getting the mouse left-handed

Hello Folks!
Beccouse I am lefthanded I would like to "mirror" my mousecursor. I'm using GNOME 2.24 and gdm as login manager.
I have downloaded once a left-handed mouse-theme from Gnomelook. But this proved to be very inconsistend. Also I could not find a way to get another mouse-theme working on gdm.
Any ideas or howtos???
G.

I used a little program called xcur2png to convert a xcursor theme to pngs and a conf file.. then flip horizontally each png with imagemagick, mirror the focus coordinate in the conf file, and pack everything with xcursorgen...
I didn't find xcur2png in aur though, so here's the PKGBUILD if you need it ...
pkgname=xcur2png
pkgver=0.7.1

Thinkpad L440 - Left-Handed Bluetooth Mouse but Right-Handed Touchpad

I have my bluetooth mouse connected but I want to use it as a left-handed mouse. I can't seem to figure out how to do this without changing the configuration of the touchpad. I want to keep the touchpad right-handed. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Hi Brittneym,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for Touchpad setting on your ThinkPad L440.
Please go to Control panel – Mouse setting and in Buttons menu tick the check box “Switch primary and secondary buttons” this will change the complete setting for left hander users, and after applying those setting go to UltraNav menu and click on “Touch Pad Setting” you will new window touchpad properties in that expand Buttons option on “Left Button Action” set it to Primary Click and on “Right Button Action” set it to Secondary Click apply the settings and click on OK.
You can give a try on the above setting; it worked with USB external mouse but I am not sure with Bluetooth mouse. Check the screen shot from the below link
Dual Touchpad setting
Hope this helps!

Mighty mouse: left-handed

hi,
i want to use my mouse as a left handed mouse.
i configured the secondary button to ben on the left, just worked.
but i notice when i move the mouse up, down, left or right it moves diagonally.
i understand this is because right handed people hold the mouse like this: \ but i hold the mouse like this /, so it moves diagonally.
is there any way to change this?
i could not find anything in preferences, do i need to search better or maybe i can change it by setting one of those defaults write com.apple.whatever by terminal?

I am ambidextrous but I hold the mouse "vertically, like this | " not on a slant, whichever hand I use.
If I do tilt it slightly, I do not see any angle movement - perhaps I automatically compensate for it??
You are asking for some kind of anti-skew option. You might search for some 3rd party software to do it. AFAIK, there is no standard built-in setting for what you are looking for.

Left hand user

Hi
I'm using a T410 and I'm using left handed mouse configuration. I've installed MS wireless laser mouse 5000: it's working fine, touch pad buttons works fine too, that is - the buttons are configured for a left hand use. The problem is with the buttons of the track point: they are configured for a right hand you only, and i don't know how the fx it.
Please advice
thanks

Restart of the eMac cleared it up. Was having problems with the two Airport Extremes working correctly. That was an amperage problem with my circuit protector - a whole nother story!

Cursor/Mouse is stuck in top left hand corner by apple icon HELP

My cursor is stuck in the upper left hand corner and will not budge. I've restarted from the OS disk, looked at system profiler - usb profile and the mouse appears. This means it should be software related, not hardware related. I've restarted the cpu multiple times logging in under differnt users and have replaced the mouse & keyboard it's attached too with backups. NOTHING WORKS! My mouse is stuck in the top left hand corner barely touching the apple icon. When I click the mouse, the drop down menu appears so it is communicating with the cpu. However it just will not move/track anywhere! I'm an almost 20 yr mac user having survived a few 'sad mac' faces in the Mac Classic, Performa, & 8100 days, but have never run across something like this before.
HELP PLEASE!!! Would love to know a fix for this, or even what has caused it. In lieu of that I suppose I'd be okay with re-installing my system software as all programs & sensative info is on a seperate HD.
FYI I can't reinstall by rebooting via OS disc because the mouse doesn't work. Any help here?
FYI I do not have (not sure what it's called exactly) the function/preference turned on which allows me to move the cursor with the keyboard & can't get it turned on now as I can't navigate the system preferences windows in a functional manner.
Thanks & PLEASE HELP,
Phillip

Phillip,
I had this problem recently with a 3-year old Mac Pro intel, which was eventually replaced by Apple due to myriad other problems. When the frozen mouse happened, there was nothing I could do. Very frustrating to have the screen boot and the cursor is up there stuck, on the top left corner of the screen. Frozen. I called support several times. They were amazed. At one point they had me buy a cheap USB mouse (I was using a wireless mouse from Logitech and they thought there might be some kind of conflict). The USB mouse didn't work, either. Neither did an Apple mouse when I went out to buy one.
I ended up driving 70 miles to take the Mac to an Apple Store. I think they reinstalled the (Leopard) system in some secret way, because when the mouse was frozen so was everything else and I couldn't open the disk drive to put the OSX disk in there.
Why I'm here right now is that the same thing happened today with my NEW 3-month-old REPLACEMENT MAC PRO using its brand new wireless mouse, and I was hoping to find some insight. Again, a frozen cursor after the boot. Same top-left corner of the screen. Unlike you, when I click the mouse nothing happens -- no drop down.
Luckily, when I hard-rebooted by holding the button in, the mouse cursor came back. This time. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off. Been there done that before. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat 9 flash/flex form scrolling and hand mouse pointer problems

Hello.
There is pdf file with embeded flash swf file inside. Main business logic has been implemented on flash: there are drop-down interactive menu and navigation links.
I've noticed 2 problems related to Acrobat (flash movie itself, standalone, works correctly):
1. Scrolling over drop-down menu doesn't work: mouse wheel doesn't scroll content of drop-down form menu. So, I have to manually click on scroll bar.
2. Hand mouse pointer over links losses "hand" icon. Hand icon shows for short period and then disappears but should be visible while mouse pointer is over a link.
I managed to test these problems on Windows, MacOS with Acrobat Proffessional 9.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.1
So, Is there any way to resolve these problems?
Thanks in advance

I'll take a look at these. #1 is a known issue with Flash Player and is already being looked at, haven't heard about #2 though.

I have a problem closing tabs in Firefox v3.6.13. The first tab on the left hand side (ie the page that opens when I launch Firefox) won't close when I click on the red x.

I can't close the left hand tab except by exiting firefox. When i launch firefox the original tab stays open when I click on the red x, even if I have other tabs open.
i can alter the website displayed on the left hand tab but it still won't close and leave other more recent tabs open.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Irratic magic mouse behavior: Left handed user

Hello,
I have a magic mouse that I use on the left-hand side of my MacBook Pro and experience irratic mouse behavior and unexpected jumpiness - i.e. while working on a PowerPoint presentation, the screen jump to a different slide even when I'm not touching the mouse. The screen often jumps on its own even if I'm not typing or using the magic mouse. I've tried several fixes, including:
Setting up my preferences to Ignore trackpad when mouse is present
Setting up my preferences to Scrolling without intertia
Tryinf a couple of apps (Mountain Tweeks and MagicPrefs)
I'm wondering if my continued issues have to do with the fact that I'm using the mouse on the same side that I plug in my computer power cord and speakers.
I've search extensively for a solution to this issue and have been unable to solve it. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi shelleyfromely,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
If the "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" option is not enabled in the Bluetooth System Preferences, the Bluetooth icon will not display in the menu bar. Enable this option in System Preferences, then check the status of the Bluetooth icon in the upper right menu bar. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear in the menu bar, restart your computer.
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mousefrom the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

Hi guys I have a iPad 2 I recently upgraded it from iOS5 to ios7. Since then it only uses the 8ta network but in the top left hand corner it says no service with 3G next to it how am I able to fix this? Could it be a hardware problem?

Since I upgraded my iPad from iOS5 to ios7 my iPad will only work on one network.
However in the top left hand corner is says no service with 3G next to it.
I took it to Apple istore in clearwater mall and they couldn't help me.
Please advise me on how to sort the problem out.
Kind Regards

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
