HT201822 Pointer Problems

Hello! For a couple of days I started having problems with my  mouse (it happens the same while using USB or not!). The pointer moves by itself everywhere and it is really difficult to work like this. Can anyone help? I checked the Disk Utility and everything is ok. I already updated the software. What can I do more?
My laptop is a MacBook Pro and the software Mac OS X.
Thank you so much!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below.
Portables and Magic Trackpad: Jumpy or erratic trackpad operation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
You can also get around it by using a USB or Bluetooth mouse and making sure that you are enabling the "Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" feature

  • Null pointer problems. Need help

    I have a class that scrolls text across the screen. the class is a Jpanel and uses a thread to produce a scroller effect. The panel is created and called in the constructor and uses a String Array.
    This application is now a client and its server sends over a new String array as an object to the client uses stream sockets. I wish to use this new Server string array but since no array exists until it connects i suppse thats the reason im getting null pointer exceptions.
    What can i do to solve this problem?

    Do you get a stack trace printed to the console window? Look at the stack trace. It tells you in which line of your source code the NullPointerException occurred. Go to that place in your source code and find out what happens. Fix the problem in the source code.

  • 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

  • Business Intelligence and performance point problem

    Hi Everyone,
    Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and  Performance Point content
    list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
    doesn't exist.
    A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
    clearest way to set this up.
    Thanks,
    Dominic

    Hi Dominic,
    According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
    Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
    For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
    For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
    For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
    For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

  • Pointer problem in Photoshop Elements 9

    When in Photoshop elements 9 (under Windows 7 Home Premium), I try to modify a jpg picture by "distorting" it, the pointer changes to something that looks like three very small hands, with a finger pointing up, instead of becoming a small arrowpoint, as I could see at a friends installation. This triple hand makes the tool almost unusable, because you cannot "grab" e.g. one of the corner squares to distort the picture. Also in other tools the pointer, when travelling in the image area, the pointer, which is normal outside the image, becomes a very small "something" in triple. Can someone tell me where I went wrong in one or other of the settings.  By the way as I am using the "Dutch" version please explain step by step what to do because the translation of the technical terms from English to Dutch is not always obvious ... . Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Try changing the Windows Text Size (this is one problem that occurs only while running PSE in Windows 7 or Windows Vista). To change the text size:
    Choose Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display.
    Choose Set custom text size (DPI) in the menu on the left panel.
    Type in 149 or 151 into the Scale to this percentage of normal size field.
    Press enter and click OK.
    Choose to shut down and then restart your computer to make the change.
    This should work. If this doesn't work, delete the PSE preferences file:
    First of all, close all running windows of photoshop elements.
    Click Start>>Search. Type "%appdata%".
    Here. open the folder named 'Adobe', and then Photoshop Elements>>9.0>>Editor
    Here, delete the "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Prefs.psp" file.
    Now launch PSE and see how that works for you.

  • Acrobat 9 flash/flex form scrolling and hand mouse pointer problems

    Hello.
    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.

  • USB Pointer problems with Preview slideshow view

    I often give talks for which my slides are in PDF format (typically produced using LaTeX). Under Mountain Lion I could open the relevant PDF in Preview Slideshow View and click between slides using a Logitech pointer (Model R-RB5). Since updating to Mavericks, however, the pointer will no longer advance slides. It seems to work as expected to move between pages if Preview is not full-screen, or if it's in full-screen mode, just not in slideshow mode (and full-screen mode isn't ideal for giving talks). All seems to be fine in Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview for one or two reasons, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

    My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

  • Streaming .flv cue point problem

    I’ve been working with Flash video with synced slide
    presentations since February, which have been exclusively download
    streaming, all based on the presentation available at the adobe web
    site:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/vidtemplate_corppreso.html
    My issue has come up when using this template with streaming
    flv’s, the buttons that I use to reference the cue points in
    the video and slides on the timeline do not work reliably;
    sometimes they will shuttle the video and slides to the correct
    point, usually they move the slides on timeline to the appropriate
    spot and the video jumps back to the beginning. Besides this
    sizable problem, the presentation plays the way it is supposed to.
    Is there a setting in the component inspector that I’m
    missing? Should I re-encode the video with Navigation cue points?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • LAPAC1750 Access Point Problem

    I have a device (Sony Xperia Z1 Compact) which cannot connect to the Access Point. The device can connect to other Access points (tried Motorola, Fritzbox, Cisco) without any problems.
    It does not matter what setting I configure on the LAPAC1750. It does not work for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.
    Any idea?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did Linksys ever get a resolution back to you?  I noticed they have not posted any new firmware since June (stil 1.05.00), and from other threads on other products it seems this is typically resolved with a firmware update.  I bought three LAPAC1750s to install in our large home on each of our three floors, and every device (PC and Mac laptops, iPad, Kindle Fire HD, iPod, iPhones) can connect to them EXCEPT my HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.4.  Shows same behavior you are seeing, will try to connect and then just disable it.  Same behavior on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

  • ZFS mount point - problem

    Hi,
    We are using ZFS to take the sanpshots in our solaris 10 servers. I have the problem when using ZFS mount options.
    The solaris server we are used as,
    SunOS emch-mp89-sunfire 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440Sys
    tem = SunOS
    Steps:
    1. I have created the zfs pool named as lmspool
    2. Then created the file system lmsfs
    3. Now I want to set the mountpoint for this ZFS file system (lmsfs) as "/opt/database" directory (which has some .sh files).
    4. Then need to take the snapshot of the lmsfs filesystem.
    5. For the mountpoint set, I tried two ways.
    1. zfs set mountpoint=/opt/database lmspool/lmsfs
    it returns the message "cannot mount '/opt/database/': directory is not empty
    property may be set but unable to remount filesystem".
    If I run the same command in second time, the mount point set properly and then I taken the snapshot of the ZFS filesystem (lmsfs). After done some modification in the database directory (delete some files), then I rollback the snapshot but the original database directory was not recovered. :-(
    2. In second way, I used the "legacy" option for mounting.
    # zfs set mountpoint=legacy lmspool/lmsfs
    # mount -F zfs lmspool/lmsfs /opt/database
    After run this command, I cant able to see the files of the database directory inside the /opt. So I cant able to modify anything inside the /opt/database directory.
    Please someone suggest me the solution for this problem. or anyother ways to take the ZFS snapshot with mounting point in UFS file system?..
    Thanks,
    Muthukrishnan G

    You'll have to explain the problem clearer. What exactly is the problem? What is "the original database directory"? The thing with the .sh files? Why are you trying to mount onto something with files in it in the first place?

  • 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!

  • Pivot Point Problem - CS3

    Using cs3 with Windows7, it's been hit or miss lately on whether or not I can adjust the pivot point when doing select, edit>transform>rotate.  Working with a photo yesterday, on several occasions when I tried to adjust the pivot point the entire selected area would move; other times, I was successful in moving the pivot point.  I was working with a .png file but encountered the same problem after converting it to a .tiff.  Even more frustrating was the fact I could adjust the pivot point on one area selected on the photo, but not a different area on the same photo.
    Anybody have any thoughts on this problem?

  • Mouse pointer problems in JRE 1.4.0

    Does anyone else see a problem with JRE 1.4.0 when using the 3D style mouse pointers in Windows 98? If I use the default 3d mouse pointers that came with Windows, the menus and other areas of the java GUIs draw a square any time you click on something. If I set my mouse pointer to the Windows Standard I do not see this problem.

    I am currently having this problem in plugin 1.3.1 which
    is what we will be implementing. We have to update the
    video drivers on a number of machines to correct the problem.
    I tried the 1.4.0 and it seemed to clear up but we won't use this version until a full general release is available.
    Another fix is to turn off the mouse shadow.
    We are running windows 2000.
