Mouse pointer position at start up

I know this may seem beyond lazy but...
Is there any way to change the mouse pointer position at startup? I would much prefer it to be in the middle of the screen rather than way in the topleft corner.
One other question: I still think window minimize/maximize/close buttons (not sure what you would call them) that are on top left for apple and top right for PC are more conveniently located on the right side (and there really aren't many things I could honestly say I prefer about PC). May be it's just me but my pointer spends most of its time on the bottom and right side of the screen. Is there a way to change the position of the buttons?
Sorry if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find it.

The short answer to both of your questions is no.
However, you may be able to use some sort of theme software that will allow you to change the position of the buttons by changing the appearance of the windows. There are, from what I understand, hundreds of themes that you can try. Maybe one of them will put the buttons on the other side of the window. You might check out Shape Shifter.

One caveat, Shape shifter is a system hack and as such may add some instability to the system.
As for the position of the cursor I don't really know unless you can find some sort of third party program that will do it. You might take a look at Version Tracker and see if there is something there.

Mouse Pointer Position Hotkeys

I wall start by saying, as far as all this scripting goes. I only know that it's called scripting.
That being said. Here is what I need : A way to toggle the ability to snap my mouse pointer to predefined coordinates on the screen by pressing a button. At least up to 8 positions. Use of the Num pad would be optimal.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or, if i'm lucky, just hook me up. I'd be greatful.
Thank you in advance... TheEnemy (It's just a name)

Snipping is not part of scripting as are snooping or sniping.
What you are asking is something that aged programmers have been trying to accommplish for decades. It is the holey-canoli grail of computing. Ever since the first mouse was invented we have been trying to acommplish that feat. Unfortunately
the lowly mouse is way too wild and undisciplined to get him to behave in such a way.
I would recommend hiring what we call a "mouse butler". This fellow will place your mouse wherever you like and do so very cautiously.
Short of that, what you ask cannot be done.
============
=============
Seriously now, this is a forum for technicians who use scripting to administer computers. There is no need to move mouses on the screen. Windows does not let us operate the mouse remotely or from a batch file. What you are asking is technically
impossible with a script without special external software.
If you are looking to automate a game then I recommend posting in a gaming forum as some gamers have some pretty cool tools.

Mouse pointer position while using PPR

Hello All,
I have a PPR section in a custom page and what happens in the PPR region is, there is with a button click new Search Fields are added dynamically. The requirement is to highlight the mouse pointer in newly added Search Text fields. I am not that familiar with OAF so any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

on PPR event, set the cursor on newly added field using below code:
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.OABodyBean;
OABodyBean oabean = (OABodyBean)pageContext.getRootWebBean();
oabean.setInitialFocusId("<itemId>");
--Sushant

Mouse pointer jumping around the screen

My mouse pointer has just started jumping around the screen. It vibrates and slowly moves down the screen even if I am not touching it. I have cleaned the sensor but that has not helped. I unplugged it and the pointer still jumped around.
Any ideas what might be causing this as I have not seen quite this problem on other discussions.

HI,
That's interesting... restart your iMac. See if that makes a difference.
Also, do you have anything nearby that might cause interference, like a cell phone or graphics tablet?
May sound crazy, but dust and lint build up on a mouse pad can cause erratic cursor behavior.
You could try deleting this file.
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your iMac.

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!

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

When mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker

I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop (P500-ST5807).
When the mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker. The problem seemed to start after I clicked "hide pointer while typing". I tried unchecking "hide pointer while typing" but this did not correct the problem. I have also tried adjusting the touchpad settings to less sensitive -- this did not help either. I have searched the internet and all types of "cursor flicker" seems to be a common problem.
Would anyone have a simple solution?
Thanks in advance for your help,
yeto

my mouse pointer auto starts links and bookmarks without clicking on them . is there a way to stop this?

this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

As of today 7-19-2011, my mouse pointer has started to flicker & when I move it I see it when I'm not It disapears disappears, this just started a while ago, could it be a jave issue?

I finished posting on games forums, and went to a different page and as I stated in the Question section, my mouse pointer stated Flickering when I move it around and when I stop, it disappears. I restarted my PC thinking that would clear it up, as my daughter was playing a game on the PC for many hours today, and I even checked to see if the browser is up to date and it is, as per Help -> About Fire Fox. This have never happened before & I have been using Fire Fox for a long time, or if it is a plugin? Or if is a Java Issue.

Hello cor-el,
Thank you for the reply, and I did try searching first, when I did not find a solution, I post my question. I did read through the solutions and what to do, and I am using the default theme, so there was no need to disable that option. I did not even get to go through all the options to see what was causing the issue. As soon as I received a message in my e-mail that you replied, I came straight here and when I did, the issue of the Flickering mouse pointer seemed to correct it's self. It just stopped and has not happened again, since and that is why I waited to reply to you, to make sure that it had stopped.
I thank you again & greatly appreciate your assistance.

Setting the position of the mouse pointer

Hi,
I want to explicitly set the mouse pointer to an definded location, e.g. when a window is opened.
Is there a method I can invoke or a work around to set the mouse pointer to, say, posx = 100 and posy = 150?
Are there any other manipulating methods such as pressing the mouse button?
thanx,
SirRuberth

yes.
You can do all that and much more with the java.awt.Robot class
(new in java 1.3)
void mouseMove(int x, int y)
Moves mouse pointer to given screen coordinates.
void mousePress(int buttons)
Presses one or more mouse buttons.
void mouseRelease(int buttons)
Releases one or more mouse buttons.

The mouse pointer does not appear when starting my TM2-2190sa

On startup the usual screen display appears giving Mail, Web and Music options but there are no icons at the foot of the screen and no mouse pointer to move to click on anything. It is configured to boot Windows 7 after waiting 15s but this is no longer happening.
Any ideas ?

Hi there
When you look at Edit > Preferences > Recording > Full Motion Recording do you have the mouse enabled there?

How can I get mouse pressed and mouse released positions on the desktop whi

Hello All,
I am generating a Frame using Swing API. My requirement is I need to capture the mouse pressed and mouse released positions, whenever user drags the mouse on desktop region (i.e. outside of the Frame). I require these points to find the rectangle region user has generated starting from mouse pressed to mouse released position. I need to pass that rectangle to Robot class in order to capture that desktop region.
Can anybody help me out how can I achieve this using java on MAC, Linux and Windows platforms?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
VPKVL

Just want to know the hint how it can be achieved so that I can move further on that lines.
Your thoughts ?They use JNI with the OS API.

Buggy mouse cursor position (Jumps around to random spot on mouse click)

I've only noticed this annoying quirk in photoshop CS4. This only happens when using the tools in photoshop, and not in any other programs.
When using the tools in photoshop, every so often, some times more often then others, the tools will jump to a random place on (and many times FARE off) screen on mouse click. As in the tool is no longer where my mouse is, but is registering elsewheer.
A few examples. Working with the pen tool to line something, click a control point to set it, go to click to set another one and that point is now being dragged around well off my screen even though the mouse pointer is on screen.
Using the brush tool to color something in and click and the brush is coloring fare above my curser.
Select something and the selection is jumping here and there each time, go to crop? Click and drag and the grabed part jumps off screen.
It is random as to when it wants to jump, and where it wants to jump. Some times it happens all the time, others every so often, or times not at all,.
No settings are ever changed reguarding the mouse, it's just random and ONLY in photoshop with using it's tools. My mouse it's self is not jumping, just where the tool is drawing/putting down whatever is.
This jumping also seems to be a rather common thing, as I stream my drawing live at times and when it starts doing this I've had many people comment and remark that their copy also does the same thing. Posting a journal entry about it also resaulted in a lot of replies with people facing the same thing.
Is this a bug in CS4? People have told me to check my mouse settings under the control panel but that shouldn't have anything to do with it when every other program I use does not do this yet photoshop does. Flash don't, dreamweaver don't, illustrator don't. Painter, bryce, max, etc etc none of them do it. Only photoshop and only when I am using a tool. It's effects are still random.

Hi,
I have the same problem as well. I don't think it's related to the mouse hardware at all- on mine the mouse curser stays in the same position but Photoshop registeres is elsewhere! If I let go (of holding the mouse button), the mouse is still where I left it. I've had this problem since Photoshop CS4 x64 but the problem still happens on Photoshop CS5 x64 (it was fine at first but after about a month of use now CS5 has started having the same problem).
I've had the problem for a while (almost a year now) and is really annoying! I dont have any tablets, and I've changed my mouse a few times. I am using a laptop with Windows Ultimate x64. It only happens in photoshop, it's fine in Adobe InDesign.
Hopefully someone might come up with a solution!
Thanks to anyone who can help me/us

Weird mouse pointer behaviour

Since this morning OSX won't register the position of my mouse pointer. All the hover triggered events (link highlights, Expose Hot Corners) won't work. OnClick events do work correctly, but it is kind of annoying not being able to use hot corners.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Something is up with the 10.5.6 update. Bluetooth mice pointer is erratic, but buttons all work fine. Mouse is fine (Great: ROCKETFISH) on all other Macs. Mail.app, SyncServer and other non desrcript and arcane named processes are sucking the goodness out my MacBook 2.16 Mid 2007. Fans are going much more than it ever did...battery is being drained by processes I never evoke. Crashes from BAD_ACCESS plagued me on 10.4.11 so I took the plunge....bought Leopard....and spent days trouble shooting all the messes it casued...had to search for Mail.app update....never showed up in the software updater process....that is not acceptable....I have bought new hard drives, thinking it was a faulty drive...not enough free space.....nope. Spotlight was eratic at one point. I run Disk Utility and ONyx regularly and often the permissions are wrong on a big scale....run it again and the same ones are wrong again....run it off the Installer Disk....Get everything apparently tickety boo....then the Bad Access thing reals its ugly head again....I am tired of being a beta tester...this is not my bling thing toy...it is my living and I spend more time doing trouble shooting than work....Genius guys are a misnomer....Apple is starting to drop from the top of the tree and is looking rather fetid mixed with the compositing leaves....enough CRAPPLE give me the good Mac stuff once again....System/Finder 3.7 wasn't this bad. Who needs a million bells and whistles if you can't the 'trailer hitch' to work? Tech tool shows all is well.
