Does anyone know how to make the mouse motion just NORMAL?

Hi folks. Alright I am a new but I love my Mac. The one thing I just can't get past is the feel of the way the mouse works. It is tooooo smooth. I feel like when i go slow with the motion, it covers less ground as I move, then when I speed up my motion, it feels more in time with the motion. I realize this is pretty hard to explain but does anyone know what i am talking about? Sure it is more precise but I really hate it. Help?

David DeCristof:
I have been looking for a solution to this for quite some time, and I want to personally thank you for using a little humility to recognize that no, Macs don't behave the same way as other (not just Windows) graphical user interfaces when it comes to the mouse pointer.
I downloaded and purchased (well worth the funds for me) "USB Overdrive" and now I have a pointer that moves around the screen like I'm moving my hands around the screen. So natural this way. So thank you very much for mentioning those haxies or preference applets or whatever you want to call them.
Now my Mac is 10 times better!!!
As an old Amiga user, and then Windows user, it has been so disorienting to work around the desktop with Mac OS's non-customizable motion preferences. It often had left me asking myself just what part of the OS is "more friendly?" Sure, it's a rock solid OS, but friendly? C'mon.....Sheesh...You mean after I find a THIRD PARTY HAXIE to make it that way?
Well, now I have nothing to complain about.
By the way, my Speed setting is at 160 dpi, and the Accelertaion is set at 90%, in USB Overdrive. And this feels just right for me.
Now if only I could make my pointer WHITE instead of BLACK, (yes I guess I'm racist...) and make it about four times bigger without making it look like a lego...

Does anyone know how to stop the mouse from clicking on its own?

The curser is moving all over the screen, clicking, selecting, opening new tabs, and I'm not touching the trackpad. No external mouse connected. This started three days ago. It works fine while not on the internet. Once online, it begins.

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).

My subscribed calendar does not display in today view in iOS7. Does anyone know how to make it show up?

I have a subscribed calendar on my iPhone. The today view in notification center shows that I have an event at xxxx and tomorrow view says I have x events but the calendar day view does not display any of the events. I need this so I can easily see which rooms my events are in. Dows anyone know how to make the subscribed calendar show up in calendar day view?

Interesting. May have uncovered a bug. It seems that limited duration events will display, but all day events wont on mine. (iPhone 5). Does that compare to what you are seeing (unfortunately, I have nothing in a subscribed calendar until the week end, so difficult to check. I do seem to recall seeing an event from one this past week end on the iPad, however).

Use the Settings app.

Is Auto Lock set to Never? Change it to less time.

Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mail? Mine won't and hasn't for some time.

I have been having trouble for some time sending e-mails by Safari - no problems with Mail - Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mails?

When we first got our new iMac we were able to send e-mail through Safari - somewhere in the last 2-3 years it stopped and we got the failure to deliver message. We then sent e-mails through Mail - it works well and we have gotten used to doing this. However, every once in a while I retry send e-mails through Safari and we still get the failure to deliver notice. This has also happened when we try to forward some e-mails we receive (not all; most get forwarded).

HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

Hi All
Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
Many Thanks

Holy crap, this fixes the issue. At least temporarily it has. I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along. I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago. Thank you, tbirdvet. You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

I have a late-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite. (Standard configuration).
My problem is that I downloaded a fan control application and it worked perfectly, but it started to get annoying so I deleted it.
Does anyone know how to reset the fan speed back to factory settings (Maybe a command in terminal?)

OB52 Posting Period Close: Does anyone know how to automate the close?

Does anyone know how to automate the FI Period Close (trans code OB52)? Currently, the business users go into the screen and open and close any periods manually. For the MM period close, we are able to do so because we found the program to use in the batch job. For some reason, the FI side shows the program SAPL0F00 but this is only a view and will not allow a batch job to be created. Does anyone know of the actual program used for the FI period close?

Use program RFPERIOD_OPEN. It may help. For further details you may check the following thread.

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?
I basically managed to learn how to invert parameters which allows me to be as default in the clean guitar channel and if I switch the first button on the midi foot controller I switch to crunch, but at this point I tryied so hard to programm the second and third button to switch, only through a button in one step, to a third channel for distorsion or a 4th channel for solo guitar but I couldn't figured out how this work can be done!
I would appreciate if anyone could help or share this experience with others who are experiencing the same problem.
Cheers.

If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup.
