Monitor problem - cursor slips back onto macbook

Everything's working fine with the monitor displaying, then the cursor slips back onto the macbook, and the only way I've found is to switch the monitor off and disconnect it. Very annoying, has anyone found this, and found a solution?

  • Transport Monitor problem concerning Treo 680 and MacBook

    When uninstalling Palm software from a MacBook, some people have found it impossible to reinstall Palm software successfully again. They also have a problem synching and a message that flashes up about a "Transport Monitor." May I ask someone who has successfully resolved this problem to post detailed instructions before I am forced to check myself into a psychiatric ward? Thank you.

    Hello James.
     Check out the accepted solution on this page.  I have had some success with those directions. If that doesn't work, you may want to see if the Bluetooth modem option is enabled as described in this post.
    Hope one or both of those two links work for you.

  • PROBLEM WITH COPYING ITEMS ONTO MACBOOK AIR VIA FLASH DRIVE

    I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS MACBOOK AIR AND I'M ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MOVING/COPYING ITEMS FROM A FLASH DRIVE ONTO THE MACBOOK. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!! THANK YOU!

    I'm sorry about the caps. I realized that I was typing with my caps lock on, and was too lazy to rewrite this. The thing is that when I try to copy pictures, videos, and music onto my macbook via flash drive, it says it's copying but then when it's finished, the library goes blank. There's no error message with it; my folder goes completely blank.

  • How do you copy time machine photos from a G Drive back onto Macbook?

    I have a white Macbook that was loaded with over a thousand photos. I bought a G Drive external harddrive and used time machine to backup the files. However, now that the photos are off of the copy, and on the harddrive, when i plug in the harddrive, i can no longer find the photos.
    Suggestions?

    If you have a Time Machine compatible version of iPhoto, you should be able to just select the Time Machine icon while iPhoto is open to look back in its history.  If you don't have a Time machine compatible version of iPhoto, you'll need to search for the photos you are looking for by file name while viewing your Time Machine backup.  If they don't appear, make sure the hard drive is indexed first by Spotlight by making sure it is not in the Privacy section of Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight.

  • How do I get Recovery HD back onto Macbook Air?

    While trying to create an image to distrubute at work, I wiped my Macbook Air (11inch i5) while booted to an external HD using Disk Utility. I wiped the entire HD, not a single partition, so the Recovery HD is gone. From the Macbook Air...
    I AM ABLE TO...
    Boot to an external HD with Lion installed from a USB. The external HD was created on a Macbook Pro using the Lion DMG from the App Store.
    Boot to an external HD pulled from a Macbook Pro running Lion.
    I AM UNABLE TO...
    Boot to USB drive with Lion from the App Store (get null set)
    Boot to Recovery HD (as it is gone)
    Boot via Lion Internet Recovery Mode (error -2003F)
    Boot to a Recovery HD created with Lion Recovery Disk Assistant (get null set)
    Boot via Target Mode as I do not have a Thunderbolt cord yet
    Boot with a Snow Leopard disc as these machines do not allow for this
    I simply want to get a base image of Lion and the Recovery HD reinstated. I am absolutely amazed at how annoying this has become. Any and all ideas are welcome and very appreciated.

    I'm in the same boat. I can boot to a Lion disk in an external DVD drive, but it will only display video on an external monitor...

  • Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if I upgrade to Lion and then restore from the external drive?

    I ordered the disk to update to Snow Leopard.  Did that so I could get the App Store.  Did that so I could download Lion.   After I installed Lion my MacBook is super sluggish.  Takes like 6 seconds just to open a drop-down menu in Finder. 
    I have been backing up. Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if wipe my drive using the USB Lion OS stick (which I think I'll have to buy even though I downloaded the new OS online)?  I have been plugging my laptop into the Lacie drive set on "auto" and it's been working great.
    One Genius said yes "you will get everything back" but my Mac buddy says "say goodbye to most of your apps".  Then a guy at the university I asked "do you have a disk image". And I said "what the **** is a disk image?".
    Is the problem that I installed an OS on top of new OS without wiping the drive?  Or, is my MacBook Pro too old? Do I need to buy a new one?

    Any help?

    SA will indeed transfer accounts, files and apps at first start. Can do so even faster if you clone the internal HDD onto the external (just split into a partition large enough to contain it) and then use it as the source. Probably faster than Time Machine too. The safest and quickest way to do a disk image or clone is using CarbonCopyCloner (free), and it will preserve the Lion Recovery Partition too.
    Since you'll have to re--download the Lion installer again, note that you can concoct your very own Lion Installer USB Stick with it prior to reinstalling and not have to pay for the Apple-branded version. See Kappy's tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786371?tstart=0
    As for the sluggishness, I believe that a great part of the cause is that you only have 2GB RAM. Don't know if your Mac can take more but try at least to get to 4GB, if not 8GB. Should attempt this before  messing with the reinstall, as this may get you what you want.

  • External monitor problem macbook pro mid 2012

    Hi everyone i have a really big problem.
    I add a new SSD OWC extreme 6G and a Data Doubler with the original HDD of my macbook pro, i follow all the instructions, i install the latest OSX and install all my apps, till there everything went well and awesome, really fast and i was really happy, but when i connect my external monitor a Samsung SyncMadster T220M my macbook pro freeze but if i disconnet goes back to normal.
    I shutdown and restart, connect again and the same.
    If i shoutdown the mac and connect the monitor and then turn on, the OS does not start and stay loading.
    SSD is the main Hard Drive and the standard HDD is the secondary for DATA
    I follow almost all the advice on http://blog.alutam.com/2012/04/01/optimizing-macos-x-lion-for-ssd/ except the advice only for SSD because i have SSD+HDD
    also i download the app Chameleon SSD Optimiser and turn on everything
    I really need help!!!
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I USE MY MACBOOK PRO FOR PRESENTATIONS!!!

    I had never heard of "Chameleon SSD Optimiser" but I took a look at it after reading your message... I'm not sure that 'turning everything on' was a wise idea... enabling TRIM is fine, of course. I wouldn't think that 'Chameleon' options would have anything to do with your problem, however.
    What sort of adapter are you using with your Samsung monitor? I would imagine that there is either a hardware fault with the adapter, or with either your Mac port or the port on the monitor.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to the first generation Apple TV, then you cannot sync content which is stored on its hard drive back to iTunes.

  • How to get photos from iphoto back onto an SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with a built in SC card slot.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

  • How to get pics in the iphoto app for iphone back onto my macbook pro

    I need to know how to get my pics that are stored on iphone in the "iphoto app for iPhone" back onto my macbook pro's iphoto. macbook was recently wiped out (i didn't back up) during Genius Bar repair

    See this support article  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    The safest way would be to share all photos that are in iPhoto albums to the Camera Roll. When you connect the iPhone to your Mac and open iPhoto you can download the contents of the Camera Roll just like from any camera.

  • When i synced with my ipad all my photos in iphoto on my macbook disappeared.  When I try to sync again, iphoto doesn't recognize the 1500 photos that are still on my ipad.  How do I get them back onto my macbook?

    When I synced my iPad2 with my MacBook Pro, all my photos in iPhoto disappeared on my MacBook but remained on the iPad.  I want to get the back onto my MacBook, but when I connect the iPad, it doesn't recognize that the photos are there.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on.  When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time.  Most annoying, any solutions please?

    When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on.  When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time.  Most annoying, any solutions please?

    If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
    Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea.
