Extreme mouse cursor lag when using Accessibility Zoom (Fullscreen) in Yosemite

I have a Retina MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite (10.10), clean installed, connected to an external Thunderbolt Display. When I zoom in using Accessibility, I experience a very prominent lag, moving my mouse cursor (either with my Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or the built-in Trackpad) around or when zooming out. It is especially visible when zoomed in on applications like Calendar and Mail. This never happened in Mavericks. My settings are as follows.
I've tried creating a new user account on my Mac and the problem still persists, which leads me to believe it's a bug with Yosemite.
Anyone else have the same problem?

I also have the same exact problem. I have a i5 iMac Mid 2011 with an upgrade to 10.10 Yosemite connected to an external display. I like you never had this issue with Mavericks. Zoom is so painfully slow now that I had to disable it. My iMac has 12 GB of RAM and even with no apps opened, zoom is killer slow.. makes me want to punch a wall-kinda slow.
I think it's clear to say that something is up with 10.10.. some bug.
Apple please fix us zoomers

Mac Pro + Airport Extreme = Mouse Cursor Chaos Display Issues When Dragging

Graphic display issues (mouse lag and latency displayed on the screen when dragging an object (photo, window, application, document, etc.) from the top 50% of the screen to the bottom 50% of the screen. Mouse cursor starts to display serious lag and latency and loses ability to stay on the object being dragged anywhere below the 50% horizon line of any display.
Mac Pro (any model 2007 to current 2009 production) with Airport Extreme installed.
Symptoms:
On any object the mouse cursor selects and then drags from anywhere in the upper portion (50%) of the screen display (no matter the display being used) to the bottom portion (50%) of the screen display, shows great lagging and latency as if the cursor is "hanging on for dear life" or as if the processor were running several intense applications and cursor was not responding.
The mouse cursor fails to stay in concert with the object being dragged anywhere in the lower portion of the screen although is fine in the upper portion of the screen.
Issue only presents itself when selecting and dragging an object from bottom to top or top to bottom of the display.
I have deduced that the issue with this "polarity" (i.e. the 50% horizon level of the screen north and south) is due to some magnetic or waveform interference from the Airport Extreme card and most likely due to its position on the motherboard and/or next the the Intel processor. Also could be enhanced by the Bluetooth card which is also located next to this card.
After checking various Mac Pros (at Apple stores, friends and received via Apple Online store) the common denominator is the Airport Extreme Card. When it is NOT present, no issues are present with display cursor lag; when it IS present, all the above apply.
No one at Apple seems to realize this issue or cares about it. Ditto for Genius Bar Apple Employees; seems to be a mystery on par with the Bermuda Triangle (which ironically is also magnetically-polarity related.)
Still waiting for a Apple Product Engineer to contact me and have 3 tickets open with Apple from 3 different Mac Pros on this. Problem first noticed May 2009 although first generation Mac Pro from 2007 also suffered same issues and just now putting the puzzle together on this relationship.
Any others out there notice this as well? Check it out if you have a Mac Pro and Airport Extreme Card installed inside of it.

Cursor behaviour when quick key zooming

Is there a way to change the cursor behaviour when using a quick key (cmd-space) zoom?
When laying out complex forms i often need to quickly zoom in to accurately position (say) a checkbox i've just place on the page, but if i cmd-space zoom i have to then click the arrow tool before i can continue positioning the element in question.
Not a big problem with one element but if i need to zoom in tight to reposition a number of elements i've selected, the need to click the arrow tool after the zoom causes that selection to deselect. Which means zooming in on each one to position it.
In short, is there any way for acrobat to revert to the current tool after a quick key zoom?

JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) has bugs! I agree. I created my own lookAndFeel extending mostly from MetalUI components. I then made my own RootPaneUI and TitlePane, so I was knee deep in the MetalRootPaneUI code. You cannot fix the flicker problem. When resizing, the new bounds are determined and then setBounds is called on the window, either a Frame or Dialog. The setBounds call forces lightWeight components to repaint(), causing the flicker.
sometimes, when resizing, the resize cursor will not be reset after resizing.I found this one two. I actually fixed this one. In the MetalRootPaneUI.MouseInputHandler.mouseEntered(line:878):public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent ev)
Window w = (Window)ev.getSource();
// change this line to the one below it
//lastCursor = w.getCursor();
lastCursor = Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(0);//should work now
mouseMoved(ev);
}What appears to happen is when a Dialog is closed over a JFrame, the cursor gets screwed up somehow. I was able to recreate the bug. I simply made a JFrame with a button that created a dialog. I then used the titleBar's closeButton to close the dialog. Just after clicking the closeButton, I moved my mouse quickly over the edge of the dialog before it had a chance to disappear. Sometimes I was fast enough and the cursor got stuck. The above code is all I could do to fix it.
The resizing was filckery or slow whether I used the real MetalRootPaneUI or my own. I also tried the dynamicLayout and noerasebackground with unacceptable trade-offs. Luckily my app only has one JFrame. So, I only setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated JDialogs, which are never resizable in my app. This means that my JFrame is the only window in the app that uses the OS TitleBar rather than my own. Although, my JFrame resizes without flickering.

Cursor disappears when using Photoshop, anyone else?

My cursor disappears when using Photoshop, I have to leave the program to get it back. Happens constantly since installing 10.8.3.
Was fine for years, until I upgraded my OS

NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…

Below the image, to the left is the <Tool Overlay> feature. Click on the double-triangle and select <Always>. If you have it set to <Auto> it disappears when you leave the image area.

Noticeable lag when using drawing tablet, streaming video, and simple games

Hi, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Laptop model A335D-S69221. There is a noticeable lag when using my drawing tablet, streaming videos (such as youtube), and games that are not "fast" such as This War of Mine and Don't Starve. All drivers and the system is newly wiped and up to date. When visiting web pages if there are embedded videos it causes a whole system lag until it either asks me to stop script or I close the page. Colors and graphics look just fine. No problem playing fully downloaded videos. The programs themselves work just fine and the lag only happens with the above mentioned activities. Not a virus.
Is this an issue that can be solved by increasing the RAM from 4GB to 6GB or 8GB? Or is it an issue with the graphics card? I suspect RAM but don't want to shell money on the wrong thing. Most of the programs say 4GB is required but it almost seems bare minimum. Is my laptop even worth upgrading?
Unfortunately it takes away my ability to draw and makes gaming progress annoyingly slow. Once the lagging action is complete it works ok but just repeats.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core RM-72 210 GHz
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

Jessica Hennings
this is my personal opinion as a guy who had more than 5 pcs, 4 gaming laptops and other mac books for work in the past.
I believe it is slightly an older model of Toshiba you are using, your drawing tablet relies on your Ram but not as much as it relies on your GPU which would be the graphics card processor. So none of those upgrades will give you a significant change on things you want to do.
I would rather suggest you a newer model for the things you do with your budget than getting rams for your computer. Both of you are processor and graphics card.
If you want to upgrade, Ram is your cheapest option, but check out the slots, usually they have 2 slots, and 2 x 2GB on them, so if you buy a 4GB , you get 6. DDR II is kinda out of date with current programs and software, keep that in consideration aswell.
I do not think any upgrade you spend money on will give you the speed you want to feel.

The cursor freezes when I pinch zoom using the Lenovo Thinkpad T410 trackpad while Firefox is open.

This happens only on Firefox, not other browsers. In Firefox, when the cursor freezes after a pinch zoom, the track point still works.

Hi jaideepdesai,
Do you have the accessibility type in page option turned on?
I think it is [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Inline_autocomplete]
I it is definitely one of these: browser. urlbar.
See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries About:config entries]
By default a new window should open the cursor in the search field on the page. Resetting Firefox will get you back to the default on about:support page.

Mouse cursor dissapears in The Pan|Zoom component

When using the Pan|Zoom component found at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/ inside a mx:Window in my AIR application, the custom mouse cursors (draghandOpen, draghandClosed) are not shown. The mouse cursor just dissapears when rolling over the ImageViewer.
From the Pan|Zoom code:
                case "mouseOver":
                    // cursors
                    if (_client.viewRect.containsRect(_reciever))
                        CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
                    } else
                        CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
                        cursorID = CursorManager.setCursor(_iconHandOpen);
This works fine when running the source at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/ as an AIR application. Why won't it work in a mx:window?

I found the solution here: http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/how-to-get-a-custom-cursor-in-an-air-wi ndow/
The problem was fixed by changing CursorManager.setBusyCursor() to myAIRWindow.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();

Cursor lagging when detecting networks

My mouse cursor is very very laggy when I turn on my airport and while Leopard is detecting networks. Sometimes, if the wifi network signal is weak, when I mouse over the network with the weak signal, it lags more (during 5 sec or something).
It is quite annoying to be honest...
Any of you experience the same problem?

Same hear. 15" MBP bought July of last year. Are you running 10.5.1? I was told by a Genius Bar guy that some models made around the time that I got mine have a slightly different card and that might be the issue. I don't have a solution, just commiserating.

Macbook lag when using Parallel Desktop

I always use Parallel Desktop since when college portal website only can be accessed by Internet Explorer, so I installed Windows Xp. The thing is it really uses a lot my RAM memory, only 20 MB of Ram is free. In Parallel Desktop configuration, I have changed the RAM slot for virtual machine, I just allocated 1064 MB Ram, and it ticked for " the best performance" or in other words I let the processor to do the adjust automatically so my Macbook can run at its best performance. I have also changed the processor in virtual machine to 2(dual-core) but still my macbook lags when I run Parallel Desktop. My HDD is 160GB and I have occupied more than of it, like 60 GB left. I have a lot of vital programs so I wonder if this thing is a major cause of this lagging problem. Any advice what should I do to speed up my macbook performance back?

If you want your Mac to run better, turn Parallels down to 1 core and bump the ram down to 512Mb. Having the RAM up high and the cores up high will allow Parallels to grab more of the resources, thus slowing down the whole computer. Limit parallels to less, you shouldn't give it 50% or more of your machine unless all you do is Window stuff.
Check your graphics config too, if your not playing games in Parallels, turn off 3D graphics and only give it 16 or 32Mb VRAM.

Inland external usp mouse malfunctioning when used with HP Pavilion dv6-2155dx laptop.

I have a external usb mouse I have been using with my HP laptop for over two years now and it has always worked without a problem. This week it suddenly stopped working properly. Often it does not work when I click on it even after several tries. Due to disability with hands it is too hard to use the pointer on the pad on my laptop. I need to use a mouse.
I am not sure if it is a bug from a recent software update or an issue with my snyaptics program (which is what I suspect). I am older and my computer knowledge is not so good anymore.
What can I do to diagnose to see where the problem is. I cannot afford to take my laptop in for service right now.
Thanks

Hi Richard61,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand that your mouse is not working properly. Here is a document onTroubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 7, Vista, XP). Have you tried a different usb mouse? Have you tried it in a different USB port?
It is not the synaptics program as that has to do with Touchpads, not the mouse. If you believe it was an update, you may be able to do a system restore back to when it was working correctly. You could try running MS Fix It to help resolve issues and look for updates. You should also run the HP Support Assistant to aid with updates and resolve issues. Please let me know how it turns out.

Display lags when using Projector Setting

Using the projector setting, I'm noticing a slight lag when I open/close any of the applications (ie: there is a momentary pause before the window either appears/disappears). Any way to fix that?
The external monitor is a Samsung Central Station (1920x1080) and connects to the laptop wirelessly via a USB/UWB dongle.
Cheers!
