Brush line jumps away from cursor?

Every time I use the brush, pencil or eraser tool, it jumps a couple of cm away from the cursor. The line then continues, and although the cursor shows up in the right place and the line itself is fine in terms of responsiveness and pressure sensitivity, it appears away from the cursor.
The other tools are fine- even the lasso tool draws a line in the right place. I assumed my monoprice tablet was just incompatible with flash, but the same thing happened when I tried my wacom tablet (bamboo pen and touch). Both tablets still work perfectly in photoshop.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for both tablets in turn, and even uninstalling and installing flash again, but theres no change. I also tried messing with the tablet settings, and removing all wacom preferences, but nothing worked.
Any ideas?
(I am using an up to date version of flash pro cc, with windows 8.1 on a laptop with an intel i7 processor, 16gb ram and dedicated graphics)

Hi Julian,
Can you please confirm the following .

When I touch the trackpad the cursor jumps away from the bubble.

I thought this might be a bug, but I'm not sure anymore. I have Sophos for Mac and it hasn't noted any problems. What happens is that when I initiate a tap on the trackpad the cursor jumps away from the item or bubble I am trying to tap. It is annoying but not bothersome enough to ruminate about. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem?

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Cursor Jumps Away from the Address Bar

When I start Firefox, the cursor jumps from the address bar to the search box; usuallly, this happens right after I type in WWW. I fix this by to the address bar; sometimes, it jumps back to the search box and I have to finally take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to click on the address bar. This is a frustrating time waster.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Press the escape key to stop loading the page if you do not want to use that home page, but want to open another page via the location bar.
Many websites use an onload event to set focus to a specific search field or input field.

X230: Pointer jumps away when lifting finger from touchpad

Guys I'm having this issue with my touchpad, when I slide towards a button on the screen and lift my finger up to hit the click button, in most of the cases I mis-click because it seems the pointer jumps away when I lift my finger. This is very irritating.
This was default with clean install Windows 7. So I installed the drivers i.e. UltraNav, but that made things worse! Now it seems like the resolution has dropped and the mouse cursor is twitchy. I played with the UltraNav settings, made things a bit better, but yet still worse than the default configuration I had with Windows 7. Oh yeah, the jumpiness of the cursor remained after lifting finger from touchpad. So I removed those drivers again...
What to do now? Seems like a software issue, but that jumping drives me nuts.......

I find that touchpad is most usable with latest ultranav drivers, medium senisitivity and whatever 2finger gesture things you like.
In Windows settings have enhanced pointer precision checked (important) and mid-high pointer speed.
Still though, it feels horrible to use

Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

Hi Guys,
     In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted. Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
     And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
     Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series. The solution is at this link:

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?

Problem of running the jump query from the result line

Dear expert,
I have a problem when running a jump query from the result line. Apparently, the values of the caracteristics haven't been sent to the jump target. However, the configuration in RSBBS seems to be good as the jump works well from the other lines.
Does anyone have some ideas on that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are supposed to bring across characteristic values to your target, then you will not be able to jump from the result line. The configuration expects that the values of the characteristic marked as being used in the jump are filled with unique values. When you use the result line as a source for your jump, the values in the result line will most likely be based on the sum of multiple characteristic values.
Hth,

I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?

What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown.

Lines jump/scroll up/down in Entourage and Excel (MS 2008)

In Entourage and Excel (since the last MS Office 2008 update I believe), the tope line jumps or scrolls up (out of view), then back down into view. WhenI try to scroll up to see top line, it jitters in and out of site (up/down). It is hard to type on or work with the first line in an email message or an Excell worksheet. Also, when i move the cursor vertically (mid window), it also jitters up/down.
I do not recall exactly when this started, but it may have been when I agreed to update MS Office from a prompt a while back. Funny thing is I never recall MS Office having 'updates' before (I surely could be wrong on that!)
The jittering is driving me batty. I have rebooted system to no avail.

Recently trackpad and pointer on screen are not synched up- pointer jumps away erratically

Recently trackpad and pointer on screen are not synched up- pointer jumps away erratically

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Constantly losing focus away from code view in CS6 OSX

DW constantly loses focus away from the editing pane in code view, and instead seem to focus on another part of the interface. Two big problems with this:
When I expect to still be in code view, and the first thing I do is hit Delete, DW wants to DELETE MY FILE - and worse, the confirmation pop-up is automatically focused on YES, so if I hit enter, the file is gone before I may even notice what happened...
I have to keep going back to my mouse and finding the exact line and spot in my code where I had my cursor (and can still see the cursor there, just not focused), and click to reclaim focus.
I've noticed this happens on several occasions:
When I do Command+S to save, and then Command+U to put, the put command focuses on the "Files" component of DW and does not return to code view like it should,
if I switch between apps with Command+TAB and then return to DW, again my focus is lost away from the code where my cursor still sits, but does not respond (again, it seems to think I am trying to manipulate the file, like delete it upon Delete key),
sometimes, complately randomly when I highlight something, same focus loss...
This is extremely annoying (on top of the already laggy and poorly designed custom chrome).
OSX 10.8.2 and latest DW CS6.
Anyone know how to fix this, or is this just another bug Adobe is ignoring?

So looks like Adobe released a DW update, yet this is still not fixed.
Unbelieveable how this is not a priority, along with optimizing the terrible UI experience (it has gone backwards in speed and funcionality from previous versions).
This is also not a problem on Windows, just OSX - which used to be Adobe's target market... time to find alternatives to CS.

Hi
1. In comp controller in wdDoInit I get the list of countries and write them to a local node.
2. This node is mapped to a view in a different window.
3. When I press enter, a pop up window is created. The values mapped from the comp controller to this view are presented to
the user in a nice table.
4. When the user selects a line in the table, the method writes back the value to my input field.
Quite straight forward.
The problem is that when the user enters a valid name into the input field before even pressing "Enter" the framework
returns "entry is not in the set of values".
Frustrating.

Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons. Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings. They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store. It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity. The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network. These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address. Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker. In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone. Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location. So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go. Not great for privacy & security. When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy). But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

Want Time Capsule far away from my modem. How to add to existing Airport?

Hi,
I have a dome-shaped Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) connected to a Comcast modem. I want to leave it as it is, but I would like my Time Capsule (TC), to be located far away from the modem, to "join" or "extend" that AEBS network.
I had it set up that way at one point, but then switched out the TC drive to a new 2 TB and then connected it directly through Ethernet to my two MacBooks to back them up more quickly. (FYI, I upgrade MB drives a lot and they aren't always recognized immediately by the TC, sometimes have to delete a sparsebundle and start a new backup--why I have to do that for it to work sometimes, no idea). But after backing up my new MB drives over Ethernet, I can't now for the life of me seem to get both the AEBS and TC onto one AEBS network. My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
I know how to use my Mac pretty well, but I only mess with setting up Airports or TCs once a year at the most. I don't know how all of the moving parts work or work together. Various dialogue boxes will confuse the ** out of me. YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability. Only since replacing the drive and turning off the TCs wireless settings to make it work over Ethernet, has the TC no longer been willing to join the AEBS.
I don't want to be a networking master, I just want to be able to configure my network quickly and easily so my less valuable (to me) AEBS will be in my living room with my modem while my entire electronic life is backed up safely in the attic to my TC that stay out of sight from thieves, etc. You'd think Apple would have built-in this ability MUCH more easily than they have! What's the point of having your only backup sitting right in the living room in the middle of all products you're backing up? If your laptops are valuable enough to steal, so is the shiny white Apple box underneath your TV. And then you have no data, no photos, no memories.
OK, done editorializing. Anyone know how to walk me through getting this BACKWARDS TC/Airport setup running? And anyone know how I could then revert to Ethernet if I want a faster connected backup sometime and then jump right back to my BACKWARDS wireless setup? Tremendously grateful for any help!

My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
When configuring the TC with the AirPort Utility, you just need to hold down the Option key before making the selection in order to get access to the "Join a wireless network" choice.
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
First off, WEP is no longer considered secure, so it is highly recommended that you use either WPA or WPA2 for security. However, if you must use WEP, you would have to change the Radio Mode on the TC to one of the non-"n" choices in order to configure it for WEP 64- or 128-bit.
YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability.
Again, holding down the Option key will provide this option. It was not removed with any of the firmware updates.
