DVD and mouse pointer stutter

I recently experienced problems with playing DVDs AND my mouse pointer (trackpad). The DVDs are interrupted with subtle pauses, which make it ratehr unpleasant to watch a film. The mouse too is interrupted, stops in the flow and then jumps back on track. haven't experienced difficulties before, but I had recently installed a USB Modem (+software) to get online, but it never worked. I deinstalled, however, the "stutters" in DVD and mouse pointer persist. I ran Disk Repair - nothing noted. Any ideas?

How did you solve this? I'm getting this on my mouse, my DVDs and, sometimes, on my downloaded video.
I recently upgraded to QT 7.4.1. I've heard there are problems with that upgrade. Any ideas?

Spinning ball and mouse pointer icons look really low res!

Why do the spinning ball and mouse pointer on my 24" look graphically low res?
I know it's only a minot point but it kind of spoils the beautiful look of the screen.

My Mac air book screen automatic change and automatic open different programs during my working it's move its self and I lost my work and mouse pointer automatic dance. Help me to solve
Any one can help me

Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

Rsd? shut down and mouse pointer problems

hello there
So, last week I went to the Carrefour Laval apple store to go check out my macbook because it had shut down 3 times in a row for no reason. The genius checked everthing out, ran some tests, and said everything was a-okay, that I might have simply just xperienced a random, insignificant crash. But, yesterday my computer shut down again as I was surfing the internet. I waited about 1 minute and powered it up again. everything seemed fine. so, about 1 hour ago, im checking my emails, when i go up to the toolbar to select a different website, when my mouse pointer seems to start disappearing on and off constantly. so i close my internet window and this weird loud and quick clicking sound comes from my computer. I open up another safari window, and the sound stops. and this happens over and over again as i open and close safari windows. then 10 minutes later, i am watching a dvd when my computer shuts down again! what is going on? Im so tired of this. i would like to have some advice before i go see the genius again. the thing is i cant reproduce the problem for him, it just happens randomly....
please help me!

Hi there I am having the same problem. I've been experiencing it often over the past month. First thing you should do is download the latest updates and make sure the firmware is updated which you can get from apple.ca/support. If that doesn't work then take it into a certified repari center that is authorized by Mac. In Toronto I go to CPUsed, Carbon or MacLibrary for repairs. My macbook is still under warranty so I am going to take it in. I am also going to extend my warranty for three years. These intels are great but it is the first year so expect problems.
Cheers!

[solved] DWM: Focus and mouse pointer?

Hello, I just went from openbox to dwm.
I really enjoy this so far, but there are two things that I don't like.
Lets say I have two views (1 & 2) with this kind of window layout:
| | B |
| A |_______|
| | |
| | C |
|_______|_______|
Steps:
1. I'm in view 1 and my mouse is over A and it's focused
2. I switch to view 2 (MODKEY+2) and move mouse pointer over B
3. I switch back to view 1 (MODKEY+1) - The focus is still on A, even though my mouse pointer is over B
Is this normal? I would like to set it so that focus always follows my mouse pointer,
I would also like it so that when I move focus with MODKEY+j/k it would move my mouse pointer over that window.
Is there an option or a patch to do this?
I'm using dwm-6.0.

There's one here, but it might require some modifications as it's made for 5.9:
I don't know about the other, sorry.
Thanks! This "wrap" patch actually showed me that my first problem wasn't really a problem for me.
Now the pointer moves always over the last focused window when I switch back to a view.
And yes it applied fine to dwm 6.0.
edit. But it kind of ruins switching views from statusbar with mouse, since the pointer always hops to the center of focused window. But I think I can live with it.

All of a sudden my track pad doesn't work properly and mouse pointer is jumping all over my screen

Help, it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen. This is really annoying.

Great tip! Your suggestion to check for a swollen battery in my laptop is working for me. You should get credit for solving the problem.
On my MacBook Pro (2008), my cursor was out-of-control for the past couple of days, like it was having a sissy-fit. In TextEdit, for example, I would enter text, but the text would no longer be entered smoothly, in sync with my typing. Nor would the text appear where I wanted it go. Sometimes, the text I was typing, say in the last line of the document, would jump and insert itself somewhere above in the document. Sometimes, entire lines of text, or entire paragraphs, would get highlighted and then immediately deleted upon my hitting the next keystroke. Not an acceptable way to work!
I tested this odd behavior in Leopard and in Snow Leopard and in Lion, which are all partitioned on my laptop's hard drive. Since I could not isolate the problem to any one version of the Mac OS, I began to fear that my motherboard had gotten compromised and went defective on me.
Your tip proved that it was merely a swollen battery that was the cause of my problems. I was able to confirm this by removing the original battery (now 4 years old) and placing it on a hard surface. It rocked like a see-saw, ever so slightly, about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch at the far sides of the rocking motion. When I looked at that original, swollen battery from the side, I got further indication that your insight was likely correct, for I could spy the area where the swelling was occurring: it was at an edge in the middle of the battery, and it was separating from the base by about 1/16-inch, just enough to make me wonder why the "springiness" had suddenly disappeared from the central portion of my trackpad.
That change in the touch and the lack of aural feedback (i.e. no "click" sound or feeling) when I depressed the trackpad in the central section, was my first clue that something was wrong. The crazy cursor behavior on-screen was further indication that something was amiss.
I type this reply under A/C power, as the replacement battery, which I had purchased from Other World Computing back in September 2011 for just such an eventuality, is now charging. At first, I was worried that the replacement battery was a dud, for it was stuck on 0% for nearly 10-15 minutes before it began to take a charge. But, 30 minutes of paience has paid off: the replacement battery is now at 15% and getting more powerful by the minute.

DVD and Power Point

Is it possible to put a movie on DVD Studio Pro and also put a Powerpoint data file. My client would like to be able to watch the movie but also be able to pull off all the powerpoint slides and either print out or put on his computer to print out at later date. I wasn't sure if you could do this on a DVD.
Thanks

Thank you so much for helping me on this. I hope you can answer a few more questions as I am really struggling here. Thanks for the thread.
I made a folder and put the items in there.
I was able to check dvd-rom and select the folder off my desktop.
(I would have loved the step by step guide but that no longer appears available.)
I highlighted the disc in outline (assuming that is what is meant by upper left). Then I highlighted the disc in the inspector.
I then pressed the F3 key and as far as I can tell, nothing happened. I don't know what is meant by (...to get layout as in the image.") I don't see that the files appear in the template I'm using for the menu. I don't see the files in the outline or graphical view so I am stumped. I sure hope you can point me in the right direction from here.
Thanks
Barbara

I've upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion and now my screen resolution and mouse pointer are messed up. My dock doesn't show up on the screen and the login is half off the screen on the right. Only seeing the top left quadrant screen.

I have already tried changing the resolution in system preferences. It didn't do anything.

Please confirm what Mac this is - this is the iMac (Intel) community, but your profile says Mac Pro.
If the latter, provide some info about the monitor.

Fluttering top 20% of screen and bad mouse pointer.

I just opened the box of a Pavilion p6-2378, and connected to a monitor (trying both VGA and DVI modes separately). Top 20% of screen keeps fluttering, and mouse pointer is a large black box and difficult to follow. Video card diagnostics dreport no problem.What else can I try before returining the product?

Hello tarti,
That sounds like a strange issue. So putting a second monitor and different cable on the same result. It may be the port on the computer that is the problem.
Your computer has both VGA and DVI ports, have you tried both?

Games/Programs/Mouse pointer Stuttering and Freezing

Hi people
I've recently (5 days ago) built a new PC. I have had loads of problems with it.
First of all after building it, i installed windows XP Professional SP2. Although the PC worked, it was stuttering.
Whenever i performed a task (opening a program, extracting a zip/rar, loading a web page...LITERALLY ANYTHING..) the mouse pointer would pause/stutter/lag for a brief second then return to normal. It would do this several times depending on the length of the process that the computer was dealing with. If i was downloading a file, the mouse pointer would do this until the file was completely downloaded. Sometimes it would simply freeze on the screen and you could see a "Ghost" of the mouse as it rolled over things/selected things.
I even tried doom 3 and the game did the same. A pause every second or so. This also affected the sound causing it to loop sentences (which is why i think it's a mainboard prob.)
I followed the MSI manual and spoke to friends to try to sort this out. I installed all the relevant drivers for the Graphics Card and then went to install the NForce drivers. When i did this and then restarted, Windows wouldn't load anymore. Frustrated, i reinstalled Windows.
Reinstalled, i tried reinstalling them again. Same result. Another reinstall later and i decided to consult the MSI website. It advised updating the Bios. I consulted a computer savvy friend and he suggested the same thing. I did this and then damn thing wouldn't boot anymore. It got stuck on the boot up screen. Very pissed off, i tried reinstalling windows... AGAIN.
Still no luck. It simply wouldn't boot from the hard drive. After 2 days of worrying, i managed to reset the bios back to v1.0 and another reinstall of windows and i was back to the start.
I have left it for now but am incredibly worried about installing the new Nforce drivers or updating the bios again. It was a bloody nightmare.
Now you know my story... here is the question.
"Does anyone have ANY IDEA WHY THE HELL MY COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE FREEZING/STUTTERING?"
My housemates reckon that it could be an IRQ conflict. If that isn't the case, what else could it be? Any ideas would help. I'm not very confident with computer hardware problems and don't know much of the jargon that goes with it.
I've searched the forums and i can't find anything that is too similar although the "USB IRQ Conflict" problems seem possibly relevant.
Cheers

I've done a graphic card test and that is ok apparently, I've done 3 FULL formats of the Hard disk and all the drivers that i have installed are all the newest out there and are all the correct ones. As you can also see, i have a 450w power supply which should be adequate enough to handle the system.
Hmm... This is a bugger of a problem. Thanks for the advice though.

Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select

Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7

Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
Tom

Thanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom

Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once

when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?

This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

There is pdf file with embeded flash swf file inside. Main business logic has been implemented on flash: there are drop-down interactive menu and navigation links.
I've noticed 2 problems related to Acrobat (flash movie itself, standalone, works correctly):
1. Scrolling over drop-down menu doesn't work: mouse wheel doesn't scroll content of drop-down form menu. So, I have to manually click on scroll bar.
2. Hand mouse pointer over links losses "hand" icon. Hand icon shows for short period and then disappears but should be visible while mouse pointer is over a link.
I managed to test these problems on Windows, MacOS with Acrobat Proffessional 9.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.1
So, Is there any way to resolve these problems?
Thanks in advance

I'll take a look at these. #1 is a known issue with Flash Player and is already being looked at, haven't heard about #2 though.
