HT4930 My mouse suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and Right seem to move fine. Waht's wrong?

My mouse has suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and right movement seems fine. in fact, it's perfect. I tried changing the tracking speed to no avail. it sped up the left and right movement, but "up and down" still remain sketchy. HELP!!

Hi Torrence,
You may have to suffer until you can get to your local artist's products store. There you should be able to buy square metres of fine matt black felt (maybe in a shop selling materials too). This makes an excellent and inexpensive base that looks good too. Have used it for years.
Lay it on your desk and hold it in position with some double sided sticky tape.

Xorg/radeon/i3 lagging when moving between monitors

Hello, I just did a fresh install of Arch on my desktop, and I'm trying to get triple monitors working. My setup is:
1 x DVI-D on R9 280X (primary display = DVI-1)
2 x DVI-D on HD 5770 (left display = DVI-1-2, right display = DVI-1-1)
All monitors are identical 2560x1440 (QNIX QX2710) monitors. I'm using the open source drivers (radeon) drivers, and testing this on i3 (the WM i plan to use). I tried doing this with cinnamon, however I could only get 2 screens going at once, primary and another on the 5770.
in order to get all the monitors enabled, once i3 starts up i open a terminal and run:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 && xrandr --output DVI-1-2 --preferred --left-of DVI-1 --output DVI-1-1 --preferred --right-of DVI-1
This line enables all monitors, which I thought meant it was good. However, it lags. Specifically, it lags when moving mouse from center screen to either of the side ones. It completely locks up for 3-5 seconds, but then it catches up. However, it doesn't seem to lag when I move from one of the side displays to the center.
xrandr doesn't see the monitors until i run --setprovideroutputsource, and it seems to crash my xorg if I setup right screen, then the left screen.
I read online that trying to force accelmethod to exa in xorg.conf.d/ might fix it, however that didn't work. Otherwise, I've read again online that glamor is the cause of this issue. What should I do if that's the case?

Hi ,
I am having the same issue as your reported, but I am on different hardware, so I suspect it is an issue with something else. I think these posts are similar so watch them:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139193
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140572
The system I am having an issue with was built via a derivative of ArchISO scripts and installed onto a machine. I don't believe that alone is the issue, but initially I did think it was something wrong with my scripts / configuration. I merged my /etc of a working system with the one in question and it still does not work.
I looked very briefly at the Xorg logs and noticed that it wants to autodetect input devices, perhaps that could be an issue. The other oddity I noticed is that I still cannot use slim / xfce. Initially I built the system to primarily use that window manager to save resources, but even after unplugging devices and logging in, I would get booted back out.
I will look into Xorg to see if there were any changes with auto-detection as well as udev. Perhaps one of those things is causing an issue.

Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every day. Help?

Hi Gary...
I see you are running v10.4.11 and you have updated Safari but make certain all the system software is up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
If everything is up to date, try resetting Safari from the menu bar.
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try several of the sites you mentioned.
has started quitting
If resetting didn't help, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

My iPad suddenly started displaying "Searching" up in the top left corner and now the ipad reboots itself after about 2-5 minutes.

My iPad suddenly started displaying "searching" up in the top left corner of the screen and the wifi symbol is next to it and I am connected to the wifi. Prior to last weekend it used to display Verizon and everything was fine. After about 2-5 minutes the iPad suddenly reboots itself. Can anyone assist with this. Thank you

Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi KRKabutoZero,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #58042 on A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac.
Do you have access to another Mac? You may want to backing up your files via Target Disk Mode (TDM) as well as running some utilities (Knowledge Base Document #58583 on How to use FireWire target disk mode.
You may want to invest in a utility like DiskWarrior from Alsoft. It is great for troubleshooting drive malfunctions.
As said before, you may also want to bring your iBook to your local Apple Store/Reseller.

Hi Nfrith1,
Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply. The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
Learn what to do if other people can't hear you on a call.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone

Magic Mouse randomly "micro scrolls" when moving

I just bought a magic mouse to replace an older might mouse and it's exhibiting a new odd phenomenon. when moving around in web pages or in Mail, it occasionally scrolls a bit (~5 lines of text worth) in a window. when it does this i don't have any fingers on the touch surface (i've started to experiment to see what exactly causes this behavior) so I'm not "accidentally scrolling".
is anyone else experiencing this same behavior?

Ditto on the complaints. I am very frustrated. I'll be working in Aperture, for example, with an album of several hundred photos I am in the process of rating. As I go to reach for the mouse to click on a particular photo, the mouse activates a scrolling function and POOF!... I'm at the top of my photo album, forced to scroll many rows of photos to get to that one I was about to click on. Google Maps is useless as well. iTunes also sporadically scrolls through music. My productivity is noticeably hindered by this phenomenon. As a result, I find myself grabbing the mouse like a fragile egg- just on its sides to prevent accidental scrolling.

FCPX has suddenly started crashing when trying to import media

I updated FCPX to 10.0.8 a couple of weeks ago and everything has been fine until today (I'm fully updated with Mountain Lion as well) . Now every time I try to import media, FCPX crashes. This occurs right after I hit the "Import Selected" button -- and occurs regardless of type of media, where I'm importing it from, or how many clips. I get a very long error message -- I've attached just the first part of it (through Thread 0) below. The entire error message runs through Thread 37.
The only thing I did right before this happoened was to delete some old unused applications that were not even on the system HD (they were on a different internal HD - drive A). The applications included very old versions of Final Cut and iMovie that had not been opened in a couple of years. After I did this, FCPX suddenly started to recognize another internal HD (drive C) as a camera for the first time, and tried to import a bunch of old home movies, which it has never done before. And ever since then it started crashing when trying to import new media -- even after I "ejected" drive C.
Any ideas? I'm at a total loss and in the middle of a big project for a client, and could really use some help. Thanks!

I'th Mountain Lion as well. *and FCPX 10.0.7

Update: the problem is definitely with the internal HD "drive C". Before restarting FCPX after the last crash I unmounted the C drive -- then restarted FCPX and was able to import media just fine. I thought I had tried this already, but I guess not.
So, what did I change with my C drive when I deleted the old apps off my A drive? There is both an iMovie events and projects folder on the C drive -- but FCPX has never tried to import them until after I deleted the old iMovie app (I still have the most recent version of iMovie on my system drive -- but have never used it to open these old folders). I read on another thread on this forum that if I "hid" these folders, FCPX would not try to recognize them, so I moved them to within another folder on the same drive -- but FCPX is still trying to recognize and show them when the Import Media window is launched -- and still shows the C drive as a camera.
So, what can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] Windows lag when moved...?

Using Xfce, with and without composite, the windows lag when being moved. It's like the whole window isn't held together properly; the window movement is kind of choppy, but still smooth, if that makes any sense.
This makes for a rather bad experience. And I'm clueless as to what causes this. It's certainly not my HW:
CPU: i5-2500k
GPU: GTX 460
RAM: 8GB, 1600mhz
Also, even more disturbing, is that when moving a window there seems, if you look closely enough, to be a white after-effect where text and the pointer was a few moments ago. As an example: If I grab a window and move it in a small circle, this happens.
Any ideas? Running nuts here...

Okay I'll try but I can't guarantee the completeness. Here are all the steps I managed to recollect:
First install:
compiz, compiz-decorator-gtk, ccsm, compiz-fusion-plugins-main
the decorator and plugins are somewhat optional but will provide you with gtk window borders and more options.
then edit the following paragraph in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
<property name="Client0_Command" type="array">
<value type="string" value="compiz"/>
<value type="string" value="ccp"/>
</property>
(This replaces xfwm4 with compiz as the default window manager for Xfce)
Then after running
sudo nvidia-xconfig
add the following line to the "Device" section within /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
also add
nvidia-settings -l
to your autostart.
Now open up ccsm and within "General Options" on the tab "Display Settings":
tick the option for "Sync to VBlank"
UNtick the option "Detect refresh rate"
drag the slider for the refresh rate to match the refresh rate of your display (60 Hz in my case)
Go back to the main page of ccsm and open "Window decoration". Insert the following line into the "command" field:
gtk-window-decorator --replace
(This will provide you with your gtk borders on compiz otherwise you would have to use emerald)
On the main page of ccsm tick "Move windows" under "Window Management". (Otherwise you won't be able to move windows around at all)
Restart your system and it should load compiz now. If compiz is acting funny you can always temporarily switch back to xfwm by running "xfwm4 --replace".
Note that you will have the best video experience with mplayer (no GUI).
Consider using vdpau as video output with the corresponding codecs if you don't plan to play 10bit H264 videos, otherwise stick to xv.

Magic Mouse a bit sluggish when moved diagonally?

Hi,
I just connected a Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro, it appears to me that the tracking is a bit sluggish when moved diagonally, that is, when i move the mouse diagonally it appears to object to the notion and instead move either vertically or horizontally for a moment and then kick in moving vertically. This is more apparent when moving short distances than long ones.
Is it possible my magic mouse is defective? or that it requires additional setup/calibration?
Thank you.

Ditto on the complaints. I am very frustrated. I'll be working in Aperture, for example, with an album of several hundred photos I am in the process of rating. As I go to reach for the mouse to click on a particular photo, the mouse activates a scrolling function and POOF!...

Dreamweaver cs5.5 suddenly started crashing when it starts or right after it opens...

OMG so frustrating, my dreamweaver cs5.5 has started suddenly started crashing either during the splash screen or right after I choose a web site to work on.
YES I have red the forums and tried EVERYTHING, deleted my preferences, made a new account, re-installed three times, editing the registry, done it ALL. It seems to open now in a temp Guest acct with Admin privileges but I can't access any of my web site files, it's really not usable this way...what can I do?
It crashes during this... even though I have cleared the site cache several times.....
How can I have this expensive of a program just not work.....HELP, I have tons to do and can't use my software!
Please someone help!
I even CALLED Adobe and tried to PAY for help.... this is shocking to me after spending tons of money on Adobe software..
Thank you ahead of time.

Here's exactly what was at the bottom of my bum css file:
/* Extra small devices (phones, less than 768px) */
/* No media query since this is the default in Bootstrap */
/* Small devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) { ... }
/* Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) { ... }
/* Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }
So they were completely empty...I just stuck them in there because I wanted to add stuff in there...not sure what I will do now..
Interesting just FYI this is a web site which is utilizing Bootstrap...so these MQ came directly from the getbootstrap.com web site...
