MacBook Pro Display (window) shifts off the screen when I move my mouse

With a slight move with my magic mouse, my entire open window will shift completely off the screen with only a part of the window still visible. I have to click on the exposed edge of the window for it to shift back into place. It's only the window of the program that I have open that moves. The dock and the desktop image stays in place. I'm using an HP external monitor now but it was doing this before I hooked up the monitor. I've tried maximizing and minimizing my window but that does not seem to have an effect. Could it be the magic mouse? Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. The power of Google is truly amazing. Just a little while ago, my husband was going nuts with our computer. I googled the words 'when I move my mouse to the left, the screen moves to the right'. And, Eureka! What do you think was the first thing that popped up on Google?
Well, the answer to my question, of course!:P Which led me right to here. It may not have been me that asked the question, but this did answer MY question!
Apparently this applies to Leopard too. Thanks alot!

  • My 2014 MacBook Pro has a line across the screen when minimizing

    I am having a problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro with the 2.7 Ghz i5 and 8Gb ram.
    When I minimize my screen, irrespective of the program, a white line appears across the desktop and sometimes blinks or stays, then goes away. It does not happen every time...However, I already returned one 2014 MacBook Pro for this issue and now it seems this computer is doing it too. I am running Mavericks 10.9 and to make sure it wasn't anything that I had on the original computer, I did not do a backup from time machine; I reloaded the programs from scratch. I have never had this problem with my macbook air and I have a video of the issue occurring.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    I don't think this is going to do the trick, because the iPad hardware has probably been damaged - but did you try 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.

  • My opened apps don't show a bar on the top of the screen when I move my mouse there.

    When I open an app, for example Reading List or Camera, and move my mouse to the top of the screen, no title bar appears (with an 'X' on the right to close the program, if clicked). Can I fix this?

    To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state, then hopefully achieve the goals you were attempting.
    I advise you hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • I was using my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 and then the screen went blank, I did a hard restart and went to restart again and it won't startup.  The white light comes on and then the computer kinda "clicks" off!

  • I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines how do i fix it?

    I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines. I tried Crtl.command.eject... Did not work. I tried Command.crtl.p.r. way; Didnt work. What is wrong with my mac and how can i fix it?

    NVRAM reset is command, option, P and R.
    Restart the computer and immediately hold the four keys down. Keep holding the keys down, and let the Mac chime three times, then release the keys. Be patient it could take some time.
    That being said what you describe may be a hardware issue, so the NVRAM reset probably won't work.

    If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

  • Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution

    Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution as well, how to fix without changing resolution?  A user needs the resolution set to that for her eyes.
    I see that this was an issue in Reader X and update 10.1.3 resolved it.  What was the fix?

    The scrollbar appears and works but unfortunately the dialog size is still too big therefore the print button ends up being hidden by the windows taskbar. Could you please make sure that the print dialog size is calculated against the work area (desktop size minus the taskbar, there's a win32 API to get that) rather than the whole desktop to fix the issue?
    That would also fix another issue: when the taskbar is sized higher than usual whatever the resolution you have it could still end up covering the print buttons but if you calculate against the work area rather than the desktop area that issue would be fixed as well.
    Please don't leave it unfixed because even if the requirements say 1024x768 if you have higher DPI settings or have a taskbar with a non-default size the print button could easily become unreacheable.

  • My dialog windows appear off the screen...please help

    Many of my dialog windows such as paragraph styles, or when I place items appear off the screen (I see the bottom of the window, but not the top which means I cannot move them around)  - Any suggestions?

    I am having the same issue.  I am using CS6, and my 'Effects' box is off the screen and unusable.  I have tried resetting the workspace, changing the workspace, restarting the program, rebooting the system, switching between multiple and single monitor....all with no effect.  The dialog box is always in the same place; in the upper left of the screen.  Any further help would be appreciated.
    Mac OS X 10.8.2
    InDesign CS6 with the latest updates
    15" MacBook Pro Retina
    FIXED:  As soon as I posted this, I had a thought.  While that dialog box was active, I went to System Preferences>Displays>Gather Windows.  May or may not work for original poster.

  • Software window slid off the screen - can no longer access this software

    I cannot acces my Filemaker Pro database.
    When I open the database, the window has slid off the screen, only the bottom is visible.
    I cannot pull it back on the desktop, I cannot see the fields.
    How can I get it back on the desktop?
    Comments appreciated.

    Here is the area of the desktop where it is.
    I also tried the "assign to" desktop trick, but "assign to" is grayed out.

  • The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

    I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

  • Safari window not filling the screen when launched

    I posted this question in the Safari forum and after a week of waiting and numerous bumps, it went unanswered and completely ignored so I thought I'd post it here. Basically what I am trying to do is have the Safari windows automatically fill the screen so that the scroll bar is at the *extreme* right side of the screen, but it always comes just short of that. The reason why this is important is I want to be able to make one quick swipe of my mouse to the right side of the screen and have the cursor end up over the Safari window's scroll bar. But the windows never open up like that, they open up just short of filling the screen so when I move my mouse to the side, it overshoots the scroll bar which is annoying because I have to drag it there manually every time. How do I fix this?

    Here is how I want it. Notice the scroll bar with no space to its right.
    But here is what it ends up doing. Notice there is now a tiny bit of space to the right of the scroll bar. This tiny space forces me to be careful with the mouse cursor and will not allow me to freely swipe the mouse cursor to the right or it will overshoot the scroll bar. Of course, I can drag the window back to the spot every time I open a new window, but that gets very annoying.

  • Satellite A660-11M how to turn off the screen when I'm downloading?

    i just want to know how to trurn off the screen for save energy and protect the screen,someone tell me please! thanks a lot !

    If you are ready to switch off, put to standby/sleep mode you laptop by pressing alt-F3-F4 or through menu, then I recommend you set in power options "when I close the lid-do nothing". In that case closing the lid will switch off the screen for downloading time.
