Cursor locking up on me.

the last few days i noticed after a short while of using the computer, my cursor starts freezing up and then all the buttons on my mouse do the same, it's a logitec trackball that i've had for a couple of years so i don't think that's the problem. after restart it's good for a bit then it starts doing it again. also notice that the dock starts freezing up too. please help thanks, jim

Try to reinstall the Logitech software. Uninstall first. Don't be surprized if this doesn't help, because Logitech drivers are very good in OS X, but it might help.
Make certain you remove the Logitech preferences, to. Do a search for all of them.

While in iBooks Author cursor locked

I was editing in iBooks Author and cursor locked. Cannot open or close any app.

This is not an iBooks Author problem - its sounds like an MBP glitch, could be low memory, low battery, lag between key clicks, cats walking by... if you say its only happening in iBA, then you need to make tests to see what actions you are doing to invoke the cursor jump.
I also suggest you check out the MBP support group found using the link above for Apple Support Communities.

PhotoShop Elements 5.0 Cursor locks to Hand tool

I use Photoshop Elements 5.0, and sometimes, my cursor will lock to the hand tool and I can't use any other tools. I will exit the program and open it back up, and it will still be locked on the hand tool, but later, it will randomly start working again and let me use the other tools. How can I fix this?

I'd start by checking the space bar on the keyboard. It might be sticking. When (if) you get stuck in the hand tool, try tapping your space bar.
Reason: The space bar is the shortcut that calls up the hand tool.

Cursor locked at startup

Hi,
When I am loging into my DE (compiz alone or xmonad) with and init to 5 to start X directly and some modification to .zshrc
/etc/inittab
x:45:once:/bin/su lymphatik -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
.zshrc
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then

my mouse cursor is locked. I have to switch to another agetty (the ability to switch screen with Ctrl+Alt+F1-6. I actually don't know how it is called). And then when I am going back to this screen the mouse is unlocked.
I modified a bit the innittab according to that http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Speedup_boot but even by reverting everything back it doesn't work.
And the only thing coming close to an error in the log is that my mouse is recognized as an Apple one and then back to a logitech mx1000 the real one.
Please tell me if you also need the X.log

Ok. First off, you are trying to use 2 different shells.
Bash and zsh are 2 separate shell environments with different config files.
If you wanted to start with zsh, then you need to modify your inittab to start zsh rather than bash.
If you wanted to start with bash, then you would need to put that script into your ~/.bashrc file.
BTW, that script is set so that you can start your computer without needing anything like kdm, or gdm, or xdm, or slim, etc.... What the script does is start your X session and then logs out of the terminal. It's pretty slick. So, it means that you don't have to start X right away.
I'm telling you this so that you can make an informed decision on how you want to start things. The way that you have it set up, currently means that the script in .zshrc isn't being used, so that's not an issue.
What does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say?

Imac 2009, 10.7.4, track pad cursor locks up and won't function

My cursor has locked up the past few days.
It won't function at all except to move around. I've had to do a hard shutdown and restart to get things working again. Any suggestions?

Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth. Select the device in the list on the left, then from the action menu (gear icon) below the list, select Update Services. If there's no improvement, delete the pairing from the list and recreate it.

Cursor Locked: Cannot use backspace, up down etc

All,
I am facing this strange issue today of not being able to use any of the scroll functions either in the keyboard or through the mouse. I tried refreshing my SQLDeveloper s/w.
Please help.
I use 1.5.1.
Regards,
Krishnaprasad Rao

The keyboard issue might get fixed by doing Preferences - Accelerators - Presets - Default, but the mouse won't be affected by that.
Else you can reset to factory defaults by deleting the \Application Data\Sql Developer\SystemX.X folder under your Windows profile.
Hope that helps,
K.

RE: Close cursor to release lock?

Hi,
I don't think you will need to release the cursor before the update,
otherwise the cursor will be rendered useless.

Dear fellow users,
Following is a simple code showing the use of cursor "cCursor"
which
contains clause "for update of col_name". The RDBMS used is SQL
SERVER 6.5.
The "sql open cursor cCursor ..." supposes to lock the row for
update.
Since ODBC does not support positioned update with clause "where
current
of cCursor", I am not sure if you have to close the cursor to
release the
lock before updating with the "sql update ..." statement within the
same
transaction, or no need to close it before issue the satement.
Any helps 'd be appreciated.

Position Cursor on GRAPH either by dragging it OR entering the dsired position in the Cursor legend

I've written a VI that allows the user to import a dataset, view it on a graph, and then use cursors to "filter" the range of data that I'm interested in, by sending the cursor.index values from the first graph to an array subset function which feeds a second graph. The problem is that I'd like to provide the user the ability to position the cursors on the first graph both visually - by dragging - (for "course" control) AND by entering the desired values directly into the cursor legend (for fine control). The problem is that I cannot find a way to do this, since I have to have the Lock Ring set to “Lock to Plot” in order to capture the index information. According to the documentation, the only way to be able to position the cursors via the Cursor legend is to set the Lock Ring to “Free”, which means the index values are rendered useless, since the cursor is no longer locked to the plot. If I leave the Lock Ring in "Lock to Plot", and enter a value in the cursor legend, it does move the cursor, but not to where it should. If I enter a value an x value of 9.0 for cursor 1, the cursor goes to 10.2638. The next time I enter 9.0, it goes to 9.82794. I don't understand what the issue is. Is there a way around this?

Yes Rudi: What I want is for the operator to place the cursors by dragging them (just eye-balling it). The, if they see that the Y cursor (horizontal) is at 10.234, and they want to make it 10, they could simply enter that value in the cursor legend, and the cursor would be placed exactly at 10. The only way to do this seems to be to select the “Free” option for the cursor. However, in order to use the first graph to set the boundaries of the second graph, I have to use the Cursor Index from the first as an input to the Array Subset that feeds the second graph. In order to use the Cursor Index, the first graph has to have its cursor Lock Rings set to “Lock to Plot”. Am I making this any more understandable, or just rambling?

Urgent ! help ! Pop-up panel invalidates graph cursor to snap to plot point.

I used PlotXY in the graph control with cursor attribute of '"sanp to point" and produced a plot. Everything is OK before popup a pop-up panel. After the pop-up panel removed, the cursor can't snap to any point of the plot. I tried "SetPlotAttribute (... ATTR_PLOT_SNAPPABLE, 1)","SetPlotAttribute (..., ATTR_PLOT_ZPLANE_POSITION, 0)", they don't work. I don't know how to solve this problem. I need your help! Thanks!

You are using an undocumented data structure for the multiplot. (one x, two y, e.g. as seen here).
Each plot needs it's own x!
If you do the following, things work just fine. (same if you use bundle, of course)
... and please add a wait to that while loop. It is actually not even needed. Cursors lock even back in edit mode, of course.

Placing a cursor in multiplot graph to display all values at the cusor location

We are currently using NI based DAq system which uses LABVIEW 7.1.We would like to know whether it is possible in LABVIEW 7.1 to place a cursor in a graph having multiplot that will disply all the values of parameters at the cursor location?

If I understand the question correctly, yes, LabVIEW can display many parameters of a cursor, including the cursor position (in X and Y coordinates), the array index of the point to which the cursor is locked, the line and point style and thickness, etc. You can also read or set how a cursor locks and whether a cursor is visible or not as well as other properties of cursors. All of this is done using property nodes in LabVIEW and can be done with multiple plots and multiple cursors.

ITunes Locking Up When Using External Hard Drive

Has anybody else had any trouble with ITunes locking up for about 30 seconds at a time. The music keeps playing but the cursor locks up and you can't click, use hot keys, etc. I'm using a 150GB external hard drive to store my music and while it's locked up the hard drive is crunching something, almost like ITunes is looking for something. All of my files are organized, no viruses or spy-ware that I can find. Doesn't happen with any other audio program, just ITunes. I've watched the CPU usage on Task Manager when it happens and the only thing that is running is ITunes. Please help!

I came across your post because, I have been having issues for a while with the same description, except that I am using separate partitions on my main drive.
What I noticed is that if I set my podcast downloads to go to my NTFS main partition, there is no lag... but the moment I set it to my FAT32 partition, the lag starts back up.
I believe that the issue is with the slooow write time to FAT32 in large drives. (And in my instance, the move command apple does to put the podcast, which writes to the FAT32 partition and removes the NTFS temp download) Do you see the same lag or alot shorter if the drive is formatted to NTFS?
I don't really have any space currently to format my partition to test the issue, but I the fact of the downloads speeding up when set to my NTFS main disk makes me think that this issue could be lessened by using FAT32.
a side note for me, I'm considering reformatting my drive to NTFS, after backing up due to the advancement of ntfs3g in linux, so this could solve my problem at least.

Suppress warnings re exclusive locking

We're using ASE 15.7 on Windows but this may apply to other platforms. Certain stored procs where we're locking a table in exclusive mode inside a trans generate warnings: (number 12103, Severity 10)
Table 'x' in database 'y' was not locked in 'exclusive' mode because a covering lock in 'exclusive' mode was found.
I guess I have 2 questions - are we doing something wrong that's causing this and is there a way to suppress these? According to the docs it's informational.

Hi David,
You aren't doing anything particularly wrong.
If you were writing your own reporting client using the Open Client SDK, or perhaps using some existing client that had some features for defining error handlers, you avoid seeing the message by using an error handler that did not output it. If you are using a general purpose client like isql, there currently isn't a way to directly surpress output of the message. There is an open feature request for that, CR 234335. However, it has been open since 2001, and I don't expect to see any action on it soon. (You could open an incident to express your interest in it and increase its priority if you wish). However, there is also a way to just avoid the message in the first place.
The message is output when you use LOCK TABLE to request a lock that you already have.
You can avoid it by checking master..syslocks to see if you already have such a lock and only calling LOCK TABLE if you don't have it.
if not exists (
                    select id from master..syslocks
                    where id = object_id("t1")
                    and type = 1
                    and spid = @@spid
begin
      lock table t1 in exclusive mode
end
------ demonstration:
create table t1 (c1 int)
go
begin tran
lock table t1 in exclusive mode - - create an existing exlusive table lock
go
lock table t1 in exclusive mode -- try to get another exclusive table lock
go                                               -- this outputs the message
if not exists (select id from master..syslocks
where id = object_id("t1")
and type = 1
and spid = @@spid)
begin
lock table t1 in exclusive mode
end
go                                                  -- this does not output the message
rollback tran
go

Update cursor is faster or normal update in a cursor

Hi
oracle 10.2.0.1.0
Is update cursor faster or an update statement within a cursor ? Also , owing to fact that update cursor locks the rows unlike a norma update statement.

ok. I need to update rows with in pl/ block only ( with in cursors l)If you can do that using a single SQL statement (cursor), so much better.
If you code an explicit cursor for updating, and use a loop fetch a row, check it, and then conditionally update it - you are generating a lot of work and I/O.
Let's say there are a 1000 rows output by that cursor. This means a 1000 loop iterations for fetching (ignoring PL/SQL internal optimisation). It means executing that condition in PL/SQL a 1000 times. If 500 of these rows match the condition, then it means executing 500 SQL update statements.
If the cursor in future returns 5000 rows, what happens to scalability and performance? You now have 5x the number of loop iterations! And how many SQL update commands will be fired off in that loop?
This approach simply does not scale.
The optimal approach is to create a single SQL update statement - add the conditional logic code in PL/SQL as predicates to the SQL statement. And then execute a single update cursor for updating the contents of that table. And not 100's or even 1000's of individual single-row update statements as the case is when using a PL/SQL loop.
SQL is always faster than PL/SQL. The less PL/SQL code and the more SQL code you use to crunch data, the faster it will be.
The rule is quite basic and simple: Maximise SQL and Minimise PL/SQL.

Can i position my cursors in a mixed signal plot with my mouse?

i can move the cursor in the plot via the cursor controls with no problem. but it's a very slow and arduous process. i'd like to be able to just grab the cursor with the mouse and position it where i want to.
i can grab the cursor with my mouse now, but when i move it, it's like the cursor is locked to the position on the plot and moves the whole plot, which i don't want to do.
i just want to be able to position the cursor a little faster or quicker than with the left/right/up/down buttons that are avialable now. it would be great to be able to click my mouse at a point in the plot, and snap the cursor to it, or just grab the cursor and put it where i want to.
if anyone has any helpful suggestions or hints, i'd appreciate it.
i'm running labview 8.6 on vista and xp.
thanks for your help,
chip
Solved!
Go to Solution.

james and baji,
thanks for your input, but i guess i'm not very clear in my question. first of all i don't see a cursor locked property to use, so i'm a bit confused on that point.
but my problem is, i'm using a mixed signal plot, it has say three plots on it. the scales for the x is 1435 to 1455 while the y scale is 0 to 500. there are three plots displayed. using the cursor control buttons (the four diamond pattern controller for up, down, left right) i can position the cursor crosshairs at any point on the displayed plot window, whether on a plotted point or anywhere on the displayed scale.
but when i grab the cursor, and move it anywhere, i move the whole display along with the cursor, and all my scales change on the plot window accordingly to where i grab the cursor and move it. but the cursor stays locked onto that spot and the plot area moves. what i want to do is have the plot area stay where it is, and move the cursor only, not the whole plot..
what i'm trying to do is pick an xy coordinate with the cursor and write that point to a file. i can do that using the cursor control buttons, the cursor moves freely anywhere in the plot window, even though it takes a long time (holding the shift key speeds up the cursor).
unfortunately, i can't download any of the demo vi's you guys have left, my firewall won't let that happen.
thanks for your help though,

Plug it in; XP Pro locks up

When I plug in the shuffle dock to a USB 2.0 port, here's what happens: a window pops up showing the contents of the shuffle and it is recognized as drive i:, next, the mouse cursor locks and immediately the entire OS locks, and must be restarted by turning off the PC by holding the power button in for 7 secs. In other words, the shuffle locks up the system.

Meaning all my about 20 USB devices? Or external hard drives? It's already easier to just open iTunes first and accept that the Apple software doesn't cut it.
I don't mean permanently disconnect them.
Just to troubleshoot the issue.
Geez.
Sounds to me like you have a drive letter conflict.
