Moving cursor moves screen around

I'm sure there's a simple solution to my problem, I'm just not sure what I did to cause it. I am using a Kensington wireless keyboard and mouse with my G5 and when I pressed several of the keys such as Shift/Cntrl/Alt (not sure which combination) while also pressing one of the number keys it caused my screen to enlarge beyond the display area and now when I move the cursor, it moves the window around on the display and it's driving me nuts! Thanks for any advice you can give.

Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

    How are you moving the cursor with three fingers on a track pad? That would be normal.

  • Page is slightly oversized for screen and cursor moves screen

    I have a Macbook, OS X and suddenly the page is a little too big to fit screen and moving the cursor causes page to move within the screen.  I'm not real computer literate, so bear that in mind when responding.  Thanks.

    To prevent this being accidentally activated in the future go to System Preferences>Keyboard>KeyboardShortcuts>Universal Access and uncheck all the boxes.

  • Cursor moves screen

    Something happened today and I don't know what I could have done - now when I move the mouse, the entire screen moves up and down and side to side.
    I'm using a microsoft 2-button mouse.
    Any ideas???

    You have activated zooming!
    To zoom, hold the control key while you operate the scroll wheel of your mouse - is that the effect you are getting?

  • Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

    hi every one,
    I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
    So can any one help me out with this.
    EXAMPLE..
    I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE'  without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES''  will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
    THANKS & REGARDS.
    Mahanta.
    POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

    Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
    Extract :
    <i>User Actions on Screens
    There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
    Filling Input Fields
    Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.</i>
    So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

    In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

    the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days after installing 3.6.3

    Hello Jim.
    It's probably one of three things:
    #your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
    #you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
    #or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Mouse moves both cursor AND screen

    This is something new, and it just started a few minutes ago for no reason that I can see. It's simply that when I move my mouse, the whole screen moves. The cursor moves as it should, but the screen moves in the opposite direction from the cursor. I can still manage to operate the computer, but it is much more difficult to do so.

    A double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

  • W500 Issues. Cursor movement, Web page aborts, uncontrolled scrolling, random page loading

    Dear Reader and / or Correspondent,
    I am experiencing issues with my Lenovo laptop computer and my Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. My issues’ are many and they all revolve around the phenomenon of either a ‘floating’ cursor that wanders across the screen; or, ‘jumping’ pages or windows that appear unasked for and uncontrolled.
    The cursor moves across the screen even when it is not controlled by the user. It moves like it had a will of its own. Sometime sit refuses to move at all. But if a enough time is allowed it will resume submitting to the user’s direction. On other occasions, it leaps about the screen as though it had a mind of its own. If left on its own it will wander about the surface of my desktop or inside a lit or activated Window.
    Coincidently, the windows or the ‘screens’ or the ‘pages’ displayed on the LCD panel of my laptop will randomly change their content or size. If I am surfing the Internet the pages or the screens may float or leap to or transition to a prior screen iteration or to a completely new screen or to a web page that I last visited several week prior all of the
    This erratic behavior began after I installed all of the recommended software updates, improvements and security downloads from Microsoft and Lenovo last week. I was acting in response to their instructions to upgrade my software defenses following the release of the STUXNET malware.
    Since this phenomenon began my last week I have been unable to use my Lenovo laptop in a professional and relaxed manner. It is constantly forcing me to correct its random maneuvers and unpredictable behavior. It is a great burden and it is very inconvenient.
    By the way, this unpredictable and troubling behavior occurs when I am composing correspondence, visiting web sites and playing computer games. Just typing a simple email is a challenge because of this wayward behavior. I never know where the cursor will travel to on my laptop’s screen, when it will move and how often it will occur.
    Suffice it for me to say that: “… it’s a real pain in the butt.”
    Can any of you recommend a solution to this problem? Have you ever experienced anything like this issue? Is it a software issue? Or, is it a conflict between two or more software applications? Does the problem occur because a file has been damaged? Is a piece of hardware causing this error? Have any of you experienced a similar set of challenges?
    Coincidentally with this cursor error I have lost the ability to access my email account. My account exists and the email is in the account. But my laptop will not link to the mail servers (Yahoo and ATT.net). My Outlooklink to my email account does not work either.
    My laptop is a LENOVO W500 ThinkPad.
    My operating system is a Microsoft Vista Business 64, Service Pack 2 operating system.
    My laptop is configured as follows:
    CPU: T9400 @ 2.53 MHz Core2 Duo Centrinos
    Video card: ATI FirePro v.5700 with 512 MB
    Memory: DDR3 4GB.
    Mice: HID and IBM ThinkPad Ultranav Trackpoint and Touchpad.
    My antivirus and security software is as follows:
    Antivirus and Internet Security software: AVG v. 11.0
    Malware Defenses: Malwarebytes
    SuperAntiSpyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy

     COuld you please advise me what the possible source or cause of thee issues is ?
    Thank you.

    HI, Ed and ~Bee —
    Ed, a tiny complement — maybe — to ~Bee's successful solution...
    I also use both an Apple Bluetooth and an older cordless LogiTech mouse. I keep them separated — except when I need to use the latter to help "re-connect" my Bluetooth mouse. I've noticed that if I forget and leave them near each other, my cursor begins to "skitter" something awful! Moving the LogiTech mouse a few feet away solves the problem.

  • Moving apps between screens

    I'm having trouble moving apps between screens. I can move one app but then if I try and move another, I drag it off the side of the screen but the screen doesn't change. The only workaround I have is to move an app to the dock, change the screen with a swipe, then move the app out of the dock back onto the new screen. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I thought this was broken on my iPad after upgrading to iOS 4.2. After messing around, I found that if I move an icon around on the screen and hold it at the edge of the screen for a few extra seconds, with the edge of the icon slightly off the screen. Then the screen will change.
