Mavericks Temporarily Locks my Cursor - especially in Safari & Mail.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody 17"
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Memory.
Everything was running fine - However, because I tended to have issues with Wireless Internet - thought the New upgrade would be better.
So, I did it - Upgraded to Mac Os 10.9.4.
Since then, I have had many issues - The worst is the temporarily locking the cursor. If I am in Safari and want to type in a new URL - I can move my cursor there - but will not let me type. I cannot open a new tab - fill in a form- or quit the app. I cannot copy a url or any other text - cannot do bookmarks - or even open my book marks - I do not get an error message and the App does not crash....THEN a few seconds go by and like magic - i can move the cursor and click happily away, How often does it happen? Every few minutes.
I thought it coincided with the Automatic Notifications - so I turned that off (do not Disturb) - but the issue is still happening.
Frustrated, I Searched on line and saw that were issues with Sanyos - So I unistalled that today. Still have the same issue happens.
I am not a heavy app user - primarily Safari and Mail. I do not have more than 5 web sites open at once - and those are not large multimedia sites.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening and how to repair?
Is anyone else having these issues?
Thank you in advance for any insight and assisatance

Hi Linc,
So I cleared the Console log and waited for the problem to happen again. I was beginning to think - "wow all i had to do was clear that log and things worked smoothly again" until today - When I opened Google Docs on Safari. It was so bad It locked my computer completely and I had to force a shut down.
Now I am trying to look back at the console log to grab the data which could be helpful.
I know I was on my computer yesterday from 8am-9am and again at about 130pm -till about 3:30 then put it to sleep until about 8pm. I opened Google Docs approximately 10pm had to force quit computer around 11:15pm - If you tell me what to look for I will - Or other things that may help...
Right Now -My computer is now running extremely HOT - at 430am...
Here are things I see on console - but may not be relevant:
When I look at the Data - I see tons ( And I Mean TONS) of this line: ( I mean every few seconds- IS that normal? )

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How to 'lock' my cursor to one of my two monitors?

Hello all, thanks for reading my question!
My 'problem' is the following: I recently started using a second monitor on my iMac [OsX Yosemite - 10.10.2 / i5 - 2,7GHz / 8GB 1600MHz DD3]. The additional monitor is a Samsung 40" Television screen that I have been using with my old Windows PC. My input-devices are the standard wireless keyboard and magic-mouse, and in addition to that I am using a Wacom Graphire4 with Bamboo-drivers since it's not compatible with the latest version of OsX. The only software I installed to streamline this setup is called 'CatchMouse', which I use to center my cursor on either one of my monitors.
What I would like to be able to do is lock my cursor to either one of my screens, and use my shortcuts to switch between them, without the possibility of my cursor jumping to the next screen as soon as I get too close to the edge of my screen. I have tried to change the alignment of the two screens in the preferences-menu, but that still didn't prevent my cursor from 'jumping' from one screen to the other. Is there a workaround for this, or perhaps additional software?
The reason I would like to do this is my Wacom, I use it in absolute positioning (meaning that the top-left on my input-device is the top-left on my screen) and the second screen 'sorta' ruins that experience for me..... There's always a chance I am overlooking a very basic setting, apologies in advanced if this turns out to be the easiest thing to do on a Mac besides hitting the Power-button.... Perhaps some of you have the same 'problem' and know a workaround for it, I will of course continue my quest for a solution on the rest of the interwebs and post it here if/when I do find it, but any extra help from here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for now!

You need to contact Adobe support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations. I don't believe they work weekends though.

After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer. now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810. Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store. Suggestions?

I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000. There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site. It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

Facebook account temporarily locked

Hello, Yesterday my friend has logged into his facebook account from my BB-8520 curve. Later on when I tried to sign in to my account, it reads your facebook account has been temporarily locked. Then I tried it from PC, it asked me to change my password and I did it. Today I tried again to logged into my Facebook account from my blackberry with the new password. The same message it shows: 'Your facebook account has been locked temporarily.' Can anyone please let me know the solution ?

The issue you are facing is as a result of the IP you are using in accessing your fb account. If fb notices a new IP accessing your account, they might temporarily lock your account pending when you verify it. If you'd like to know more on this case study

It's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details, iTunes accounts don't get 'suspended' or 'locked'. Emails from iTunes/Apple tend to be personalised (e.g. have your name after 'dear', not just 'dear customer') and they are written in proper English.
You could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

I have tried unchecking the "Automatically check for updates" in the Software Update control panel. Of course, then you have to remember to check manually periodically for security updates etc. So far, the annoying banners seem to have stopped, but maybe just because I have not waited long enough for them to come back.

Safari, Mail, iTunes and Skype won't open

Hi there Apple-Support-Team,
a few days ago I did an update of Safari, suggested automatically by Apple, but wasn't sure if the update was successfull (I had to leave the house).
Now all applications with internet connection (Safari, Mail, iTunes, Skype) won't open anymore. Not from the dock or the application folder. I checked my internet connection which seems to be working.
I've seen quite some reports in this forum but I am not sure if I'm having the same trouble as the other users. I get no error reports or anything else, the apps just don't open.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Many thanks
Mexximexx

Welcome to the forums!
Did you restart your Mac after the install?
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.1 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.1 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.1, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program? Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone. I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.

I have the same problem on my iMac. Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk. I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it. I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago! I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences. Very frustrating.
