How to fix a slow mouse in Elements 13 editor

I purchased Elements 13 as my new camera was not supported by Elements 11 which I was currently using. The organiser works fine and I Like the new interface but when trying to use the image editor the mouse has terrible lag. Its almost impossible to select anything in the menu.
Elements 11 works fine and I can happily merge and align several RAW files without problems and the efficiency scale never drops bellow 100. I have an I5 machine with 8Gb of ram and windows 8.1. I assume the problem lies with Elements 13 as no other software is effected and the machine is really quick. I have found several other comments about the same problem but no solutions. Any idea's?

You might try the Elements forum for more specific advice. This forum is for Photoshop.
In Photoshop you just make a new document (square, 200 - 300 pixels), draw your star (shape tool has a star in it), fill it with black, then go to Define Brush Preset. If elements can do it I'd guess it's pretty similar.

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

How to fix a slow running IMac in system 10.9

I am having problems with my IMac running system 10.9. All of a sudden it is running very slowly. I have cleared the cache and restarted several time without any luck. help!!!

bdiakow wrote:
... I have cleared the cache
How did you do that?
There are many potential reasons that a Mac may be running slower than expected, but more information is required to begin troubleshooting, much more.
Back up your documents and everything else important to you before proceeding. It is premature to conclude your hard disk is failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify anSMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

How to fix my slow wifi on my Macbook Air?

Hello!
I have been having issues with wifi on my late 2010 Macbook Air. I have OSX 10.9.4. I notice that my wireless issues are fine if I'm within 10 feet from my wireless router. If I boot my same MBA using Windows, I have no issues what so ever and can even go outside and have great speeds. I have tried different browsers on the mac side with no change, I have also tried different networks with no change. I have used my fiancé's MBP and she has great connectivity throughout the house. So, I have ruled out a network issue and a hardware issue as the internet is fine on my MBA when using the windows side.
I do have to mention that my screen was replaced a little over two years ago and did read that some people who had repairs done to their laptops sometimes found that their antennae was not properly hooked back up, but again, I'm ruling this out because I believe I would still have connectivity issues on the windows side of my MBA?
I have done some research here and tried disabling BT with no luck. I also tried fixed 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz channels with no luck either. Also, in my research, I found a neat app called EtreCheck and have posted those results below. Any tips or trouble shooting I can try from here would be greatly appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How I fixed my slow speeds

This may not work for everyone, but I have been experiencing some slow speeds both wired and wireless in my office. I fixed it by doing the following:
1. Open up a windows pc to the command prompt (start -> run -> cmd )and type: ipconfig -all
2. Make a note of your DNS servers.
3. Go to the "Network" section of your system preferences. Under TCP / IP, add in those DNS servers on the Mac.
This fixed some of my problems!
Good Luck!
Colin

this one is a known fix. this works for me and for the customers i support. but if you are running wireless, you may want to access the channel, popwer and mtu settings of your wireless router

How to fix iMac slow login

My 2009 iMac stuck at the login page and hungs there for ever, I usually power it off. How can I fix it?

Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help ...

Once you are in Safe Mode, click the Apple  top left in your screen.

How to fix the SLOW speed & FREEZING of Firefox 5

Firefox 4 worked very well - I was so pleased!l But since downloading the update to Firefox 5, the browser loads sooo slowly and freezes often. I've re-downloaded, restarted, and have to "end program" often. Is there a fix?
OS: Windows XP
Computer: Samsung Netbook N110
If no fix, can I download Firefox 4 again?

LTurner,
Here are a few numbers from SWMBO's U110, running on AC mains:
Cold boot to login screen: 50 seconds.
Login screen to desktop: 20 seconds.
Shutdown from start menu to power off: 20 seconds. (after waiting for system to settle, and some normal use)
Launch FireFox: 8 seconds.
It seems pretty snappy to me. HDTune shows that the little HD isn't all that fast, but for My Lady's use, it's plenty fast enough. You may have very different requirements and expectations.
A few top-of-my-head (or elsewhere on the anatomy) things to check. Some may not be available, I haven't dug that deep.
Both cores enabled in BIOS.
Hard drive mode in BIOS.
Running on AC or battery.
Power plan settings re perfomance.
DMA enabled in Windows (control panel, hardware manager, IDE controller properties).
HD full/nearly full or needing defrag (your clean install should have ruled this out)
Unknown/unexpected services, process, or applications using HD or CPU (check w/task manager)
I'm curious to know how your experience compares with the above. It's always possible that you have some rogue stuff running, Windows is mis-configured, or even that the machine is defective in some way.
From here, it's a nice little machine. (well, as nice as any Vista box can be...) YMMV.

How to fix my slow, freezing Macbook Pro (2012 version)?

Hi! I bought my macbook pro in Jan 2013, it is the Mid 2012 version. Since yesterday, it is running super slow, and freezes constantly. I've deleted a lot of files from my computer and transferred them to a usb to clear out some place on the disk. Still, the mac is lagging and color wheel shows up for nearly anything I do on the computer.

Boot into your Mountain Lion Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to both repair permissions (there will be some that cannot be repaired - you can safely ignore these) and then verify your hard drive. Repair if necessary.
The type of slowness that you write about can sometimes - sometimes - be caused by a failing hard drive. Let's just hope you pass the verify test.
Call back,
Clinton

How to fix extremely slow render in AE CS6?

Hi,
we've just upgraded from CS4 to CS6.
A composition that used to need 9 minutes to render, needs 2 hours now.
AE is updated and we don´t use the option "Render Multiple Frame Simultaneosly"
We've tried to delete different layers from the composition and the only way to improve rendering time is deleting wiggle expressions. Even if we transform these expressions to keyframes, the render lasts hours.
We need our wiggle expressions, how can we solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep. Doesn't work. Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes. Have tried all four corners with same result. Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result. Any ideas as to how to fix?

You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day. Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion. The problem remained. After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today. Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained. As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
Thank you again, so much!
