Glance clock screensaver no longer moves around sc...

After Lumina Black update download my at a glance clock no longer works as a screensaver. It doesn't move around the screen during standby. Will this cause screen burn-in? Why did the update change this?

I had a similar problem with my screensaver, and ended up telling it to always use a very simple picture folder and only display on one monitor. Before I had it randomly select from about a dozen different screensavers and display on both monitors. Since making the change I haven't had a problem. I never figured out what was going wrong, and neither has anyone else that I have seen. Personally, I suspect a problem with older QuartzComposer savers and some recent updates from Apple, but don't know which update would be the cause (I ran a batch of them at the same time). Unlike you, I did not find anything in my log files indicating a problem with anything. The computer simply froze when it attempted to exit the screensaver, either by manual intervention (moving the mouse) or to go from the saver to screen sleep. If you have one particular saver you've been using, try changing it to something else and see if you still have a problem.

Suddenly my space bar is no longer giving me the hand tool to move around on my artwork window. How do I reset this?

Suddenly my space bar is no longer giving me the hand tool to move around on my artwork window. How do I reset this?

Thanks for getting back. I know my answers seem too obvious at times, but never leave out the simple ones just in case.
So lets look at two things: Keyboard Shortcuts and System Preferences.
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts opens a dialog box. Press your Option key, and the Cancel button turns into a Reset button to get shortcuts back to defaults. Clicking on Reset may fix it.
The second is Preference resets. Hold down cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop. It will ask if you wish to delete the settings file. Answering "Yes" many times clears up the problem.

Tab key no longer moves between text fields on a web page

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.9, my Safari v. 2.0.4 (419.3) is suffering from a bizarre symptom: the tab key no longer moves the insertion point among the various single-line text-entry fields on a page, but rather inserts a tab character within the field! Shift-tab, which used to move the insertion point back one field, does nothing.
Interestingly, when in a block-text field -- such as the one I'm using to compose this message topic -- the tab key takes me to the next field as expected. It also works when the insertion point is in the URL field or Google search field in the browser interface itself. It's only when I'm typing into a web page itself that it doesn't behave properly.
Makes filling out long forms a real pain.
Surely this isn't happening to everyone, or someone else would have mentioned it ... but can anyone reproduce it? Got any suggestions for clearing it up? I'm not running any exotic Safari add-ons, just the usual complement of plug-ins, none of which seem relevant to this problem, which involves normal HTML web pages.
Thanks in advance for any help.
G4 QuickSilver 1.467GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

There were no file changes to Safari in the 10.4.9 update. There were a number of file changes to the System Library, however, these types of changes usually affect applications across-the-board. MacFixit has a special report and related issues and work-arounds on their site. Not sure if you need to be a subscribed member to see the information, however, it might be worth a look.
FWIW, I haven't seen any mention about the problem you reported on their forum, or home page report.
I suggested your marking the thread "answered" as I thought you were complete with the thread given the disappearance of the problem. I'll be curious to see who else posts a similar problem.

Mouse randomly moves around and clicks

Ok, so ive had this problem for a few months now and it has led me to the point where my mac was in storage and i havent touched it in a month or two. What happens is no matter what i am doing my mouse will move around the screen clicking randomly and basically doing whatever it wants. i have looked into the problem and other people have similiar issues but not the same. i can be across the room from my mac with the screen on, and the mouse will still move around and click and open countless folders even though no one at all is even near the computer. today when i took the mac out to see if there was a software update available (which there was) the mouse was not moving around or jumping at all througout the entire update. After the update it is now yet again jumpin around and clicking wherever it wants. Also its not just once in a while it is 24/7 it has made my mac unable to be used because you cant really control the mouse for more than a second at a time. my whole screen is now full of untitled folders.... any help would be appreciated...

Hi - I am having exactly the same problem. I am going to do what Barry said. Apple support says to do the following:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

Can no longer move or copy files between drives (not a newbie issue!)

Copying and moving files between internal and external devices, and external to external devices is no longer working.
*For the first time in my life, I get a "Circle with a Bar through it" when attempting to move or copy files.*
This doesn't happen between the two internal drives at all (though I'm worried it might start). It happens between two HFS+J devices as well as HFS+J and FAT32 devices. I can delete files, create folders, and in some instances where things are acting funny, copy to, but not from the device. A noticed side effect that is now happening is that I can no longer move drive icons (CDs, DVDs, HDs) to their upper-right hand corner position on the desktop, if they didn't start there. They don't drop there, just staying where they originally sat (under a list of desktop shortcuts and files). It does not matter if the drives are USB or Firewire, and this never happened previous to about a month ago.
I have done all the basic stuff -- verify/repair drives, reboot multiple times, mount & dismount, change connection ports, backed up-reformatted-and restored the smallest drive, fixed preferences (not at all relevant), Disk Warrior repair the devices, set all permissions to R/W, check all device related infos, researched on-line for a week... Nothing. I have even taken the devices to PCs, where they work perfectly, and as expected.
This issue is apparently either a corruption, or a bug induced by Software Update, in the part of the system that handles files and file structures, or possibly the _USB and Firewire_ interfaces.
I just need to know where all those relevant parts are in the system folders, so I can attempt to restore them from a backup previous to the last "Software Update," (to be sure. And to bring this one step closer to being solved).
A system restore really is not an option, as that would require nearly two weeks of re-tweaking everything from the system to every piece of software included (updating the system about 10 times via software update, reinstalling 90% of the actual software packages... and then updating those multiple times, looking-up all the serials that get killed, etc.)
I have to correct this fast, as we need to move the files from the work drives to the archive drives before we run out of room. So any help would be very appreciated... even if you only know where a few of the system components are located (it just might be one of those, causing the issue).
---TIA

{The last link in this post is most relevant, except for your recent finding.}
The reference was to the User permissions, per each; as when these
become corrupted, the simple 'repair disk permissions' and other
basic duties do not find an error with them. That is because there is
nothing really wrong with them from that standpoint.
Another odd error can happen if one is resizing partitions in an Intel
based Mac, and also if one has or had a BootCamp partition and
wanted to reclaim space. But not always. Thankfully, the only time
I tried Windows on a Mac, the media install disc was corrupted so
it just didn't happen. That was Virtual PC and Windows on PPC.
Tiger brought with it the ability to non-destructively resize partitions.
However, it was not thought to be successful in non-Intel based Macs.
The discussion on that matter came up a few years ago, so someone
has undoubtably tried that in a PPC and reported findings online.
When file sharing between user-account created content runs amok,
then the system(s) will not allow the content to be moved or shared.
So, if any shared user-account created content (including drives
initialized or handled without permissions ignored, clones wrong,
etc) are not the problem, then how does one explain these wrong
ful action circles-with-lines, or action disallowed warning symbols?
There must be a simpler answer. Do you have cats which have
access to your computers in the off-hours? They do keyboard.
Some have been thought to have technical skills outside of the
usual coy and cute play-acting people think they are limited to.
I'm sticking to the cats theory for now; the time is 3:21AM here
and I only am up to get a drink and look outside at +5°F. calm.

Exchange 2013 - can no longer move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2013.

Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010. Created Ex 2013, moved some mailboxes OK. Then could no longer move mailboxes. No errors. The Migration email says complete. Synced: none, Total Mailboxes: none.
Tried several mailboxes. Same result.
Ex 2010 is SP3 RU6, (at least it says RU6 is installed in Programs/Features. The build is for SP3 w/o RU6???)
Ex 2013 is SP1 aka CU4.
How to proceed???

After many attempts to fix the issue (move remaining 4 mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013) I contacted Microsoft and we resolved the issue. Here's how.
btw - Thanks for the suggestions from Ed. However, they did not seem to move us forward.
What did work:
1. On the Exchange 2010 box, create a new database. (Someone else suggested this also). Then move the remaining Exchange 2010 mailboxes to this new db. Then after that, move the 4 mailboxes to Exchange 2013 using the GUI on Ex 2013. This only worked for one
of the four mailboxes. The other 3 failed.
2. Apparently, we need to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service on the Exchange 2013 after several failed move attempts to clear cache related to the moves.
3. Then on the Exchange 2013 box, use this Exchange shell command:
New-MoveRequest -identity "[email protected]" -TargetDatabase "Exchange 2013 DB name" -BadItemLimit '500' -verbose
This moved the remaining 3 mailboxes including the Discovery mailbox. It took some time. But we could check the progress using
Get-MoveRequest
The MS Tech was terrific. Really knew his stuff. And all mailboxes are on Exchange 2013. Well, the last one is still moving, but I am optimistic.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had to get this done and the MS Tech made that happen.

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it. When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.
This computer was brand new in June. Is it the humidity??? What can I do. Please help!!!!

No guarantess but try smc and pram resets,

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?

What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

Pages zoom and move around when I attempt to write on them

New to iPad. Primary use for which I purchased it was to read and annote pdfs. I've purchased PF Expert, and am extremely pleased with it so far---not only the app, but the support provided by the developers.
My issue may just be due to my lack of experience with the iPad. It is that when I attempt to highlight a document in PDF Expert using a stylus, the page zooms in and out and moves around. This makes highlighting pretty inconvenient. I would like pages to remain fixed, the way a piece of paper would while I'm writing on it. I have wrist protection turned on in PDF Expert.
Is there something I'm missing regarding technique? Or is there something I can set somewhere that will prevent this form happening.
Thanks,
Eric Weir

anyone fix the problem yet?I cleared my cookies and that didnt work.

Can no longer move a new tab into Pinned App section in FF17

After the update to FF17 I can no longer move a new tab into the Pin As App section without first pinning the tab. I liked how it worked before, where if you put it to the front or between 2 pinned tabs it would just pin itself and place it where you told it to... Is there an option to restore this? If not, no big deal, more of a minor annoyance really.

hello andvarix, the drag&drop behaviour for tabs has changed in firefox 17 - they now move within the tab strip while being dragged. unfortunately the behaviour that you're now observing seems to be a somewhat intentional by-product of this change, it is unlikey that this will be fixed soon. you'd have to resort to the usual method of right-clicking a tab & select to pin it as app tab.
for reference see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787897 bug #787897] (please don't post in bug reports).

Boot drive no longer moves to the top?

I just noticed that when I switch no another start up disk (CCC clone on external FW drive), that the active system HD icon no longer displays itself on the top right side on the desktop. It just stays were it was.
Why would it no longer move to the top? I got confused the other day and almost tossed a bunch of important files that I thought were on the active system drive...
Hope it's just a 10.5.6 bug that will get fixed in the next update.
Anyone else notice this?
Dan-

It's a bug that occurs if you update a bootable volume via Software Update or a backup/cloning app. It's been filed. Boot into each bootable volume, move the boot volume icon to the top, and it should stay there during subsequent reboots.

What's the best way to move around in a document?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but what's the best way to move around in a zoomed in document?
The only method I've found so far is to drag with two fingers, which keeps resizing the document as it moves around.
No Hand Tool? No way to zoom to 100%? No way to Fill the Screen with the document?
Let me know, thanks.

Hi,
Panning is being done with two fingers, i.e. you set two fingers down on the screen and then move them in the same direction.
You can also zoom out by moving the fingers in the opposite direction as when you zoomed in.
Thanks,
Ignacio
