Mouse Shadow gone

Hi there,
I have a problem, this existed in 10.4 too: I use my MacBook Pro with an external Display as the main screen. Okay, now when I unplug the screen while the MBP is running it switches back to the notebook display as main screen and everything works fine. But my mouse shadow is gone then, that is really annoying since I dont want to restart everytime I do this. When I plugin back the display the shadow is back, but as soon as I unplug it is is gone again.
What can I do? I know that's minor but it annoys me.
Bye,
Luka

sigh welcome to my world, I'm still looking for a fix too.
There was a way to fix this in 10.4 (I went into a game called BioFilm that replaced the mouse cursor and then when you quit it would have the shadow) but it seems that this fix has been "fixed" in Leopard.

No Mouse Shadow after Standby in Clamshell Mode

Hi,
I have a 2.6 Ghz MacBook Pro with a 256 MB GeForce 8600 M-GT running the latest Snow Leopard. I have a 24" monitor attached to my laptop and am running it in clamshell mode. As soon as it goes to standby and I wake it up, my mouse shadow is gone.
What can I do? That wasn't happening in Leopard. In order to get it back I have to logout and then login again.
Thanks

Hello,
unfortunately this didn't work for me. I deleted both files and it still doesnt work.
Same thing when I am running two displays and unplug the external display. Then my mouse shadow disappears, too.

Mouse Shadow

I'm recording in 1024 x 768 mode. When I convert the SWF to
an AVI file, there is a mouse shadow on the screen and sometimes a
"marking" from the mouse when typing in an input field. Is there a
way to get rid of this?

Welcome to our community, Wendy
Perhaps it's related to whatever you are using to convert to
AVI? Maybe acquire a different tool?
Cheers... Rick

One finger scrolling option for mouse is GONE from preferences?

The one finger scrolling option for mouse is apparently GONE from the mouse system preferences? Why do they move/hide this stuff every other system update? Grrrrr!
I turned off the one finger scrolling option in mouse preferences a while back before my last system update to OSX 10.8.5 because it screwed me up in Photoshop/Illustrator. Recently using Chrome I found I couldn't scroll down windows now on some web pages because the scroll bar at the right doesn't show up very well. I usually use Safari and it works there so it's a Chrome problem. However, I want to turn the one-finger scrolling back on for some things from time to time. When I tried to check the box in mouse preferences, to my horror, that option appears to be gone. What?!? Help!
*totally waiting for a simple answer that I overlooked. I hope.

Did you look in the Zoom menu (press F10 to make the menu bar appear)?

Middle mouse button (Mouse button3) gone

Dear support community
I have a huge problem. I am working on a 3D project where I really need my middle mouse button!
My co worker came by today and helped me. He plugged in his mighty mouse and have assigned the middle mouse to "Application switcher" He then left ofc with his Mighty mouse, and did not assign the middle button back to "button 3" and now every time I use my middle mouse button on my regular USB mouse (Razer Krait) I can't use the middle mouse button, without the Application switcher coming on all the time. I have searched for over an hour now on Google and more and no answers or solutions to my problem at all.
I am not in the position to go out and find, or buy a mighty mouse and plug it in, just to switch back the button 3 function, and it is weekend now, so no co-workers around before Monday, and my project is due to monday
This is how it looked like (images from Google) NOTE this is just a random dump. Mine was set to "Application Switcher"
Now when the Mighty Mouse is unplugged it looks like this.
I can't belive it has to be so hard? FYI yes i did used to have an mighty mouse of my own, but it is broken and gone
Thank you.

Hello,
I just have this problem. I found the culprit file : "com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist" in Home / Library / preferences.
Don't know if it's a problem to delete it, but you can create a new account in the System Preferences Panel (Users and Groups), and then copy this file from the new account to your usual one.
After you can delete or not the new account.
So, the middle button can be use in applications like Davinci Resolve, etc.
Hope it 'll help...

Auto-scoll (middle mouse button) gone/not working in Firefox 20/Windows 7 64-bit?

duplicate of [/questions/956896]
I recently upgraded both my work PC and my home PC to Firefox 20.0.1. My work PC (Win XP 32-bit) works fine, but my home PC (Win 7 64-bit) no longer allows me to auto-scroll when I click the middle mouse button (it does nothing). I have tried restarting Firefox with all addons disabled, as well as a totally fresh install, but haven't had any luck. To clarify, the mouse wheel itself still works as it should, it's just clicking it in to auto-scroll that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this?
##EDIT##
Please delete this (double post)

Did you check the setting?
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Have transferred from old computer to macbook air and have lost ability to scroll with mouse has gone to scroll bar. Can I fix this

Have transferred data from my old computer to new MacBook Air. New computer now uses scroll bar like older version. Can I return the MacBook Air to scrolling with mouse pad.

Open Mouse or Trackpad preferences in System Preferences and be sure the scroll setting is correct.

IMac mouse has gone wonky

I have the original round mouse that came with my iMac and in the last week or two it has started to 'skip' -- the cursor will get hung up for a second and then move again, but rather jerkily. Earlier this evening the cursor stopped completely, although it seems to work reasonably well now -- if I use the mouse on the upholstered arms of my desk chair! Someone suggested it might need cleaning, but I can't figure out how to get it apart to do so -- I tried Mac Help and it wasn't any help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

The original Apple Pro mouse cable frays in the chord just as it exits the mouse, over time, and shorts out causing symtoms similar to yours. You can't see the fray by looking at it thru the exterior covering. This can happen to third party mice over time too.
Mine does it. I plugged it into a different port, so the chord exits the mouse in a different direction, and have had very few freezes since. Once I get over my frugalness (cheapness!) I'll buy a new one.
So, try a known good mouse to see if that's the problem. If you still have trouble post back!
Cheers!

Drop shadow gone on export

Sequence avc-intra 720p
Stills moving, some w/ drop shadow.
Export to BMD 10bit mov - no drop shadow
Export to mp4 .h264 - no drop shadow

Are you using Maximum Render Quality in the Export Settings window? If so, try an encode without it. Using MRQ forces 32-bit linear color rendering, which can have some bizarre/unexpected results when it comes to partial transparency, such as with a drop shadow. However, we're told that this is "higher quality" and "more true to light in the real world."
If you think it's nonsense as I do, please file a feature request for an option to turn it off here: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Macbook Pro-Mouse and Keyboard cable

So i have a macbook pro running OS X
Specs: 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo
           4 gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
           250 gb 7200 rpm
           Dual body design year: 2008
My problem is that the keyboard and mouse have gone out several times and I have found that the sticky note under the battery works for awhile but the cable supplying the keyboard and mouse eventually fail due to a failed design for a machined slot for the cable. I have first replaced this by buying a new topcase only to have the problem fixed for a year. Today i have installed a new cable that i purchased online only to have the keyboard and mouse instantly work again flawlessly. Has apple determined this a faulty design and will they compensate for my misfortune so i can possibly buy a new laptop or should i just switch back to Microsoft? Thanks

I'm just guessing, but I suspect you have a better chance of winning the state lottery than of Apple giving you the price of a new MBP for your old machine with its array of do-it-yourself band-aids. This is probably true even if your state has no lottery.

RDS Mouse settings

Hi
I am testing RDS on Server 2012 R2. Everything is working fine, but I need to disable the setting "Enable pointer shadow" since it's making the mouse lag.
I have found the following blog, and the setting is working fine, but it's applied the second time the user logs in.
http://chireven.blogspot.dk/2013/09/jerky-stuttering-mouse-pointer-in-rdp.html
Isn't it possible to have this setting applied at first login?

Hi Lasse,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, you can try to edit the registry key as you have mentioned as it will disable the mouse shadow. There is one article for server 2008 R2 but you can refer for information.(Quoted from below article)
The GPO setting would be
•Key: HKCU\Software\Control Panel\Desktop
•Value Name: UserPreferencesMask
•Value Type: REB_Binary
•Value data: 9E1E078012000000 (This changes based on the options you enable/disable, this value disables mouse shadows only)
Optimize Windows 7 / 2008 R2 Visual Effects for Virtual Desktops (mouse shadow disable)
Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. Also please backup the registry setting before making any changes to original,
as it's not receommended by Microsoft.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Scroll wheel gone haywire

Recently the scroll wheel on my mouse has gone nuts. It just won't scroll smoothly at all, but jumps up and down all over the page or the website I'm trying to scroll through.
The odd thing is, it's done it on two separate computers, with two completely different mice(?). And it happened around the same time. I'm wondering now if some update may have screwed this up so it doesn't work any more.
The mouse at work is an Ativa optical mouse and the one at home is a Microsoft optical mouse, I believe. Both systems are Tiger, though here at work it's on a G5 Dual Intel. The home computer is the G4.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this odd change, or if by some weird coincidence it's just happened on my two computers. If this is a known issue, is there a known fix?

If run in Single User Mode it's little danger, in fact it has cured many Problems, but you can do all those yourself step by step if you want a longer drawn out way to do them.
it sounds like it only fixes "startup problems,"
Nope, that is usually it's purpose, but it can right so many other problems.
Also, what "cache files" is it clearing out?
Practically all of them, but new good ones will be recreated on the first bootup.
That sounds like something I might actually need. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen to all my OS preferences and settings etc.
The only way it vould possibly mess any settings up are if thse files are already damaged.

Mouse pointer problems in JRE 1.4.0

Does anyone else see a problem with JRE 1.4.0 when using the 3D style mouse pointers in Windows 98? If I use the default 3d mouse pointers that came with Windows, the menus and other areas of the java GUIs draw a square any time you click on something. If I set my mouse pointer to the Windows Standard I do not see this problem.

I am currently having this problem in plugin 1.3.1 which
is what we will be implementing. We have to update the
video drivers on a number of machines to correct the problem.
I tried the 1.4.0 and it seemed to clear up but we won't use this version until a full general release is available.
Another fix is to turn off the mouse shadow.
We are running windows 2000.
