InDesign CS5 and Magic Mouse driving me nuts...

To get rid of the circle/target thingie go to:

View>Extras>Hide Content Grabber

I found out that circle is called the "Content Indicator". You can turn if off by going to View/ Extras/ Hide Content Grabber.

FWIW, I abandoned Apple mouse since the disastrous Mighty Mouse - and, judging by this post, they didn't get any friendlier.

It made me discover a totally amazing mouse though - Microsoft (yes) Natural Wireless Laser Mouse - and I'm very happy about it. A friend of mine who stopped by said it's an "orgasmic experience" to use it - and I agree with her.

It's a relatively old mouse and by now there's a lot of other mouses similar in shape and convenience of various brands. It's the kind of mouse that is much taller than the classic mouse and fits your hand, well, naturally. Strongly recommend!

Thanks,

Leo

I don't have a mouse (except the one that visits the kitchen) Use a bamboo and a trackpad. But would suggest you try turning off the multi-gesture support in the InDesign prefs (will dissable pinch scaling and rotation of objects which i find happens involuntarily on a laptop)...*does it help?

How do you use your Bamboo in InDesign? I'm trying hard to, but can't find a comfortable way of using it, especially when selecting/moving objects or drawing frames …

Btw the BTT tip helped me a lot ;-)

Its as simple as to turn off inertia for the magic mouse and everything works like a charm.

I gave up using Apple funny mices when came the one having a little ball above: I tested it 1 day, then put it back in it's bag, and I bought "normal" mices from other manufacturers. My last one is a Logitech MX1000: not as beautiful as the Apple MightyMouse, but much more efficient!!!
