Dual 23 inch mouse disappears on Left monitor only

Running Leopard 10.5.2 with Dual monitors. ATI Radeon 9800 card AGP on Dual G5 Mac 2.5 MHz
I can see everything fine on both monitors and can drag windows to both monitors. The only problem is that the mouse disappears on the left monitor. But if I'm good, I can grab windows there and move them (pain in the ***).. I just can't see the mouse !!!!
Can anyone help me here ?

We went through a similar discussion with the placement of the Dock with multiple displays, and found by experiment that the dock is placed on the specified edge of the main display (bottom, left, right), unless that edge was extended by an adjacent display along that edge, in which case the Dock was placed on the edge of the Extended Desktop.
I think Capt Fred is saying something similar for this as well.

  • How to resolve arrow mouse disappeared in second monitor ?

    We have a MacPro 1.1 with ATI Radeon HD 2600.
    It is not constant.
    Thanks

    If you have two displays set NOT to mirror, they are combined into one huge "extended desktop".
    The most frequent problem with a disappearing mouse cursor in that case is that the cursor has moved off the edge of one display, and over to the other display.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area."

    Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area." There is enough text in the sidelet that the user cant read it all before it disappears on its own. Then they have to move their mouse off the hit area and back on it to see it for another 5 seconds. How do I fix this?

    You should tell which version you are using. If you are on CP7 or earlier, look in the Properties panel of the slidelet, not the slidelet area (that is the rollover area, blue rectangle): change time in Timing accordion.
    If you are on CP8, for the same object (slidelet)  change its time in the Timing panel that is now no longer in the Properties panel.

  • Opening bins on Right Monitor instead of Left Monitor

    I have a dual monitor set up.
    On my right screen all I have is The Source and Program Monitors as well as the Timeline.
    My Left monitor has the Browser which holds all my Bins, Folders and Footage.
    I mad a few bins in the Browser and when I double click one to open it, it opens on the Left Monitor and I have to drag it over to the Right Monitor. I want them to open on the Right Monitor so I don't have to drag them over.
    Is there a setting somewhere that I can make this happen?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The only was I know of is to move your Project pane over to that monitor.
    I'm curious why you'd want this though.  Seems the common layout is monitors and timeline on the right, with bins and effects on the left.

  • Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

    Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
    I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
    To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
    What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
    Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source.  What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
    Some other information:
    - Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
    - If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
    - The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
    Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

    Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
    Here's what I did to test:
    Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured.  I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video.  It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop).  I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results.  I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
    I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver.  Very annoying.  I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
    I have 2 other things I can try:
    1.  Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
    2.  Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/).  I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
    Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

  • Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

    thank DK

    By force-restarting, you killed the update, which was still in progress. (The restart was part of the update process, and the actual installation of the update would have happened after that.) You'll have to start over, including re-downloading it, I'm afraid.
    As for why this might have happened, if it had truly frozen at the end of the download, most likely there's something corrupt in your system somewhere that caused it to hang up. You should repair the hard drive with Disk Utility, then go download and install the update manually from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    That way, at least, if something goes wrong, you don't have to re-download the whole thing.

  • Can i monitor only J2EE Application

    Hi All,
    Can i monitor only the J2EE application runnning in the application server , like only the application threads , memory used by the application etc.

    You won't lose your data. Simply migrate all your data files ( you can select data, appliations, settings) and just choose the data. Then install FMP and Bento manually and you should be able to pick up where you left off.

  • Touchpad Mouse Disappeare​d

    Hi,
    My Touchpad/mouse stopped working earlier today. It was working this morning and when I got home it wasn't.
    I'm currently using a usb HID compliant mouse.
    I have a Pavilion Dv4-4270us.
    First I went to device manager and tried updating the drivers. Nada.
    Restarted. Nada. Not only that, but the mouse disappeared from the device manager.
    Downloaded Synaptics Driver from this model's page on HP's site. Installed. Nada.
    Restarted. Nada.
    Is there a physical button on the computer that shuts the mouse?
    Does that make sense?
    Otherwise, how do you suggest I get my mouse back?

    Hello ShmungerWOS,
    Take a look at this document, which provides troubleshooting steps for using and configuring the TouchPad for Windows 7.  Please let me know if this helps resolve your issue.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone 4 (verizon) not syncing. After back-up, it stops and disappears from left nav

    every time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook, iTunes verifies it then starts step 1 (of 4), the back-up then stops and disappears from left nav. I have iTunes 10.4.1

    Dear all,
    Today I tried my iphone on an other window XP computer (a computer where no itunes was installed in de past). And I made another account for itunes on that computer after installing itunes. The connection was perfect and my iphone could syncing with itunes, no problemes at all. After that I tried my iphone on my own computer with the new account for itunes, but there was the same crash and restart as in the past (problems in sector one of the harddisk?). Now I'm sure for 100% that there is a computer problem and not an iphone problem, caused by interrupting the syncing procedure by myself through using the iphone. I hope the problem can be solved in the near future, cause I can imagine that I'm not the only one who tried to do this.
    Greatings,

  • Mouse freeze or mouse disappear

    Anyone have there mouse freeze whan applications are terminated?
    Anyone have there mouse disappear in documents or when entering data in web fields?

    Mouse doesn't disappear, but it often freezes (it is democratic, because it freezes with apple's e non-apple's applications). The only chance I have is to shut down the computer. After the restart of the system, sometimes I had to restore from backup mail and/or iTunes ("the folder seems damaged") and Safari settings. Sometimes I had to repair not only disk permissions, but the disk, too. The freezing succeeds with Apple's and non-Apple' mouses, on iMac and on iBook. No crash log appears.
    It seems to me that this freezing begun after 10.4.6 realize: may be a patch is necessary to solve this .....

  • Mouse disappears

    mouse disappears after closing a program. could nothing do only to shut down the macbook with the on/off button. can anybody help?

    Hello dogfolife,
    Welcome to  Discussions
    Yes it is most annoying! The issue is also covered in these two recent topic threads the problem seems to be the way a web-site is coded & the way Safari renders it, at least that is what I have found when I have checked the sites with the http://validator.w3.org/ just copy & paste the url into the field & click "check", if you are interested in checking.
    For me the curser disappears close to the toolbar by the back & forth buttons, as it seems to for others.

    Hope this helps some.

  • My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

    My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.
