Two small issues for mankind

	Two small issues for mankind by David Roth Weiss on May 27, 2008 at 8:21:56 pm The following two tiny gotchas are eating up lots of my time lately. 1) My USB mouse has several episodes each day wherein it suddenly loses some of its functionality and I have unplug it from the USB port and replug it in to fix it, even a cold or warm boot will not reset it. Anybody got a more permanent fix? 2)Flash swf files always try to open in LiveType (is a mistake) and even do so after I set the "Open with" to open with MacProjector (Flash Player) everytime. Anyone know where to go behind the scenes to change file associations at an even deeper level than the Open with window? TIA, David David Roth Weiss Director/Editor David Weiss Productions, Inc.

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by Jeremy Garchow on May 27, 2008 at 8:26:26 pm 1) Try trashing your USB mouse prefs. 2) When you get info on a flash file, click the 'change all' button to change all the swfs that you currently have and any future ones.

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by Jeremy Garchow on May 27, 2008 at 8:53:27 pm Do you have a special mouse or did you install any software for the mouse you have or is it just an apple mouse? Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by David Roth Weiss on May 27, 2008 at 8:56:17 pm I have a very special mouse, or so I tell him/her every day so it won't just up and quit on me... Its a Logitech cordless and I don't think I had to install drivers, but I'll check now. What were you thinking? David Roth Weiss Director/Editor David Weiss Productions, Inc.

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by Jeremy Garchow on May 27, 2008 at 9:02:28 pm Well, if you had to install software, I am sure that there's preferences for it. ALso, if it needs software and you haven't installed it, that might be part of your problem too. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

I think when I installed Leopard the mouse was simply working so I neglected to install the Logitech drivers. They're in now...

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by Eric Susch on May 27, 2008 at 9:46:59 pm Your mouse may not be getting enough power. If you're using a USB hub make sure it's a powered hub. I had a similar problem with my keyboard when I first switched from a G4 to a G5 and a powered hub fixed it for me. ____________________________________ Eric Susch www.LetsKnit2gether.com www.EricSusch.com Follow me on twitter @EricSusch Come and see our presentation at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas.

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by David Roth Weiss on May 27, 2008 at 10:02:31 pm Not using a hub Eric, but I suspect you're right and the Mac isn't sending a boatload of power around via the onboard USB ports.

You dont need it anyway, it will detect it as a regular mouse without the drivers." THNX for the heads-up David. So far, I'm not sure if I detect any issues, but I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled for any and I'll lose the LCC asap if its a problem. David Roth Weiss Director/Editor David Weiss Productions, Inc.

	Re: Two small issues for mankind by Rafael Amador on May 28, 2008 at 5:37:39 am Hi David, I think that the drivers for your mouse are include in Mac OX. At least mine (Kengsington) I don't need to install them anymore. BTW, have you check the BATTERIES of your wireless mouse? Some times need to be changed. Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1 G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme PMBP 17"Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD JVC DTV-17" SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170 ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
