In mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. It doesn't "land" where I think I'm putting it. It usually "lands" somewhere below where I "click" it to be.

In Mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. When making revisions to what I have already typed, the cursor doesn't "land" where I "click" it to be. It seems to land somewhere below the spot I click on. It seems to have a mind of its own.

Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around since Lion was installed on your computer? Never happened until Lion.

Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around while typing since you installed Lion? Never had any problems of that sort prior to Lion. I have an older machine. I believe it is a 2008 MacBook Pro. Especially happens with Yahoo. I am baffled.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I am also having trouble with my cursor freezing after installing Mavericks. Never did it before. I called tech support at Apple and they had me restart computer and mouse together from a complete shut down. So far has seemed to work.

I am having trouble with my cursor freezing between applications after installing Mavericks. Called Apple on my 3 year warranty and opened a case. They suggested a complete shut down of computer and turning off mouse. Then a reboot and turn on mouse. So far iit has seemed to work. Hope this continues??
Hope it helps others.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

Having trouble with lingering cursors.

RHEL 5.2 Server
Java: Sun JDK 1.6.0_16 (64-bit)
Tomcat 6.0.20
Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3)
JDBC: ojdbc14.jar
I'm having a problem with running out of cursors. I've searched for them with these queries:
{noformat} SELECT a.sid,       b.status,       b.osuser,       b.machine,       to_char(b.logon_time, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') logon_time,       a.user_name,       a.sql_id,       a.sql_text   FROM v$session b,       v$open_cursor a WHERE a.sid = b.sid   AND a.user_name = 'APPUSERNAME' ORDER BY upper(a.sql_text),         b.status; SELECT count(a.sql_text) count,       a.sql_text   FROM v$session b,       v$open_cursor a WHERE a.sid = b.sid   AND a.user_name = 'APPUSERNAME' GROUP BY a.sql_text ORDER BY count desc,         upper(a.sql_text);{noformat}
The thing is, whenever I track down the SQL shown by these queries in my Java app (a webapp running under Tomcat), the Statement objects are always guaranteed to be closed by a finally block. Statement.close() closes the current ResultSet object and all of the Statement objects I've looked at have only one ResultSet. I am at a loss for how it's possible for these cursors to still be open. They seem to linger even though their ResultSet's must have been closed.
One thought I had was that it might be possible (though unlikely) that there are some transactions that are not properly doing a commit/rollback before returning the connection to the pool, and the next threads that get the connection may have their queries be considered part of that unfinished transaction until one of them does a commit/rollback, and if so, possibly still be considered as open cursors in the system until the transaction is committed/rolled back? Does that make sense? Is it a possibility?
Any other ideas as to why closed ResultSet's could be showing up in v$open_cursor?

OK. I managed to find an operation that when repeated can consistently drive
up the cursors and get the ORA-01000 again.
Checking for the open cursor count:
{noformat}
SELECT a.sid,
       a.value,
       b.name
FROM v$sesstat a,
       v$statname b
WHERE a.statistic# = b.statistic#
   AND a.statistic# = 3
   AND a.value > 0
ORDER BY a.value DESC;
SID                    VALUE                  NAME
1074                   299                    opened cursors current
1073                   42                     opened cursors current
1096                   28                     opened cursors current
1083                   7                      opened cursors current
1084                   7                      opened cursors current
1097                   4                      opened cursors current
1080                   2                      opened cursors current
1093                   1                      opened cursors current{noformat} This query:
{noformat}SELECT count(a.sql_text) count,
       a.sql_text
FROM v$session b,
       v$open_cursor a
WHERE a.sid = b.sid
   AND a.sid = 1074
GROUP BY a.sql_text
ORDER BY count desc,
         upper(a.sql_text);{noformat}shows an update statement with 246 records in v$open_cursor. However, they all have different SQL ids. The SQL in question is dynamically generated in Java, but it is using a PreparedStatement. The parameters being plugged are different every time (it's changing data in a different row each time).
The statement.close() on this UPDATE is guaranteed to run from the finally clause; the same as all of the others I've tracked down.
I can't tell for sure that a commit is being done after the update, though it looks like it is. The code for transactions is not as nicely encapsulated and linear as it is for specific SQL calls.

Only had my iPhone 5 a week and already I'm having trouble with the home button? Any soloutions

Sure. Take it back. If you got it from new it has a warranty.
Or describe the problem fully in case we can help. "Having trouble with the Home button" doesn't give much of a clue....

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Having Trouble With E-mails That Involve Animation

This is too weird. When I receive an e-mail that has animation in it it comes through freeze framed in Mail. It does not matter if it is in my .Mac account or Verizon account. Just for the heck of it I forwarded it to myself using the Verizon account and opened it in Safari. I also did the same thing with my .mac account. I opened it on the web. Bingo, I had animation. I am also having trouble with WMV's. Why can I not get any animation in Mail? Is there something I am doing wrong? any way to correct this?

OK, from the sound of your post, you have a limited knowledge about email. Let me see if I can help. I would guess that you have a Windows machine that you have used in the past. Your email address must be a "pop" address. That means that your internet service provider has a server where your mail is sent. This is different than a web mail address, that is accessed remotely with a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari. You must then be using an email program, such as Outlook Express, to go get the email onto your local machine. Any email program can do this. Open up the accounts tab in Outlook Express, and write down the settings. There will be one for the incoming server, and one for the outgoing server. Now, on your Mac, you can use the email program provided, such as Mac Mail, and put the settings in there. You can now send and receive to your Mac using your supplied email address. You can use another program such as Thunderbird to do this if you want. You don't have to use Mac Mail.
Getting your old email off of the Windows computer is a bit harder, so hopefully you don't need to do that. But if you do, I can direct you on how to do that also.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

E-Mailing Photos from iPhoto - Having trouble with resolution

I am having trouble with emailing pictures from i-photo. When I email pictures as attachments they end up being low resolution versions and the receiver can not print them. I can not figure out what sort of setting I must have set. Please help.

MMVP
Welcome to the Apple user assistance forums
1 - how are you selecting and attaching the photos?
2 - what is the resolution of the photos in iPhoto?
3 - if you are using the iPhoto e-mail capability (recommended) you select a photo(s) and click mail - there you can choose actual, large, medium or small
4 - this creates an e-mail message in the e-mail client of your choice (iPhoto preferences) - if you are using Apple mail in the lower right hand corner under the e-mail there is a menu where you can set Actual, large, medium or small
Be sure that both selections are set the way you want them - if either is se tto small you will send a small (low resolutin) photo

Having trouble with e-mail

I recently bought a macbook for college, and I am having trouble with my e-mail. I have an account on outlook express that works well, and i just wanted to know if there is any way that I could access it from this laptop.
I am going to college and they send me important stuff, so I need that address. If it is not possible then what kind of e-mail address should i make (yahoo, etc.)

Having trouble with First Class mail

I'm trying to use my email at school (Benito Juarez Community Academy) and also set up Gradespeed but having trouble with both.
In composing mail, the screen will only accept a line or so and no more. I can mail that but message is incomplete. Also, can't get into Gradespeed. All I get is a multicolored pinwheel that is a security check but never stops spinning.

Where can I find the SSl function on the iPad mail - I am having trouble sending out e-mails on my AOL account on the iPad - no trouble with the MacBook Pro?

Under the line where it has the SSL button, is Authintication set to password? and the line below that, is there a server port number? A typical outgoing server port number is 25.

In mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. It doesn't "land" where I think I'm putting it. It usually "lands" somewhere below where I "click" it to be.
