Pointer Moves So Does Screen View

Booted up today. Screen is "zoomed in" and whever I move the pointer using the touchpad (no mouse) the entire screen moves: when I move the pointer to the right the screen view moves to the right. Track to the left anf the screen moves to the left. Help!!!
Also, I'm unable to access the Dock under this condition.

Hi Paul,
Select "System Preferences" from the Apple Menu, select "Universal Access", make sure that "Zoom" is turned off.
Hope this solves your problem.

Full screen view is tiny. Why?

I used to watch movies,etc. in iTunes in full screen view all the time. Now when I choose it, the display is tiny. No matter what I choose, music video, TV show or movie, my full screen view will not work. Help!

Had the same problem and found the fix on another thread.
Play a movie and view full screen, with the postage stamp sized video.
Hit Command (Apple)-3, it'll return to full-screen view.
Command-2 will adjust to actual size.
Annoying little thing huh?

Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode

Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!

Welcome to the Discussions!
"When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

Unable to view movies in full screen

I am unable to watch movies in full screen mode. When I try and select it, I am simply taken back to the itunes window, but the movie audio continues. I can watch the movie at any other size. What's going on?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

The Full Screen icon does not appear in Firefox 16.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and command+shift+F does not close the full screen view.

I accidentally entered full screen view and was unable to exit. The Firefox Help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen+mac&r=0&as=s says I should see a Full Screen View icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Firefox window. That icon not there. I cannot find it. It does not appear in either the full screen or non-full screen views.
Further, the Help article's advice to exit full screen view by using the keyboard sequence command+shift+F does not work. I had to unplug my iMac and reboot. Firefox then opened in non-full screen view.
Ideally, hitting the Escape key would cause Firefox to exit full screen view.

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

HT1553 my macbook pro is frozen and does not move from loading screen. Can you help?

Call Apple Support and schedule a appointment for a hardware check, or take it into a Apple Store.
We can't help you with that problem.
Good Luck

Have just upgraded to Lion. In all applications a box now appears that encloses topics, etc on the screen. It is a problem as it also randomly moves around the screen. Have no idea what the purpose is and want to get rid of it. Scroll does not work.

Just upgraded to Lion. Scroll does not respond. Have tried altering preferences. Will not fix. In all applications, including this page, a box appears and seems to randomly move around the screen, resting wherever I begin to work. How can I turn this off and get scroll to work normally?

Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.
(Command - F5).

Final print size does not match screen view.

Hi
I am having problems getting my final prints to match the screen view. Most recently I have had this problem: I have an image that is sized to 5X7. I have it on a 5X7 template in the print module of Lightroom. The image dimensions in Lightroom say 5X7. I print on 5X7 paper (I actually measured it to be sure). ON the screen they look perfect, match the the templates and measure out fime with the onscreen rulers. Without fail a portion of the print is cut off on the final print. The long side of the print is the most effected. This is not just limited to 5X7's, it happens across the board. Is this a common problem or I am I doing something wrong? In the 5X7 example above the print comes out 5.2 X 7.3 give or take. I am using Lightroom 5.3 on an iMac running OS 10.9.1. The printer is a Canon Pro 100.
I welcome any help with this.
Thank you
Joe

If the problem is that the printed image is being scaled larger, this is a very common side effect with borderless mode settings in print drivers. Typically, (though sometimes you can prevent this where alternative borderless options are given) - an extra unrequested scaling % ensures that any physical mis-registration or inaccuracy of the paper size, does not leave any accidental white edges.
That's nothing to do with LR's end of the process, if so.

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Levels, full-screen view, File Move

I'm coming from PSE7 and want to update due to lack of raw support for a new camera. I'm currently trying out LR4 (as well as PSE10) and hope to found out how (or, whether it's possible) to do some things I've used a lot in PSE:
- Auto-Levels / Auto-Color / Auto-contrast? (I tried Auto Tone; in my limited experience it works brilliantly maybe 1 out of 5 times, and makes an overexposed mess of the rest. :-)
- File Move? I'm used to using Folder View in PSE to select and move pictures from a single import folder to chronological & subject-based folders in the library. (My library isn't keyworded; I got started using a chrono folder structure and it's worked fine for me.)
- Full screen view? What I've found so far: switch to Loupe view, "F" to maximize the LR window, Shift-Tab to hide all the GUI surrounding the image, "T" to make the grey toolbar below the image vanish - 3 steps and still there's ~3/8 inch black space on at least 2 sides of the picture. (Impromptu Slideshow is no better). Conversely, in PSE you just hit F11 and it switches to a fitted view where the image truly fills the screen in at least one direction. Is there really no way to do this in LR?
I'm really impressed with the editing capability but the fullscreen view issue might is frustrating, possibly a dealbreaker for me. (OTOH PSE10 has crippling performance in Folder View, so I have a tough choice...)
Or am I perhaps missing something, and these functions are here in LR? Thanks!

My novice impression persists - I feel that LR is like a great sportscar, but with the random missing bolt in say, the steering or shift mechanism...
I came from PSE to Lightroom myself. Of course, there is a learning curve, you and I both wanted everything to be as identical as possible between the two programs, as they both were made by Adobe. But the programs aren't identical, they are quite different. And while I can see how there are features in PSE that might help in LR, I would never go back. I accept that LR won't fill my screen, and that's ok with me. I accept that there is no auto-fix in LR, and that's ok with me too, because I think (based on my experience) I can produce a better photo than any "auto" can do.
Regarding auto-fix ... many people create presets for specific situations. For example, if you are shooting photos in a studio and in general you'd like a little more contrast and make the color temperature a little more yellow, you can set up the preset to do that so you never have to. Similarly, in my case, I shoot a lot of old buildings and landscapes, and my photos always need more contrast, a little vibrance, some sharpness, a little color adjustment, a certain camera profile and a partridge in a pear tree, so I have a preset to do that. It's not auto fix, its actually quite different, but it leaves me with many fine photos that need little else. As I said, its different, but it is useful in its own way.
Since you use the analogy to a car "random missing bolt in say the steering of shift mechanism", I will use one as well. Not keywording your photos seems to me like buying a Porsche, and then choosing to never go beyond 2nd gear. You are missing a huge amount of the power of the Library Module.

Does Safari for PC have full screen view option?

I am new to Mac (better late than never and am trying Safari on my old PC. Have not yet found a full screen view function in Safari. Explorer toggles from regular screen to full using F11 (and the top slides into view with the pointer, like the Dock on a Mac). Cheers,
Tom, Berkeley, CA

Hi! The little icons in the upper right hand corner (minus-square-x) are the screen resizer buttons. Click on the square and it goes to full screen, click on it again and it's back to its smaller size, the minus puts it to the bottom of the screen and the x quits the app. All is just like windows users are used to. Position the window to the upper left and then drag the little triangle in the lower right corner allows you to set the screen size to how you want it to be each time you start the app. Tom

Movie that will automatically open in "fit to screen" view mode?

I'm wondering if it's possible to save a video in quicktime pro that will, when opened in any normal version of quicktime, automatically open in the "fit to screen" view option. In the visual settings tab of the movie properties, there is an option to automatically open into full screen, but this isn't what I want - I want it to open in the normal (non-fullscreen) quicktime window, but to automatically resize to fit the screen size of the computer it's being viewed on.
I'm pretty sure that there isn't any easy way to do this, but it's pretty important, so if it requires some scripting or something, that's fine - i'm not a programmer, but i'm willing to do whatever i need to, to make this work.
Thanks!

The "Presentation" option is a bit confusing as there are "user" settings that each viewer could have set (double size, Fit To Screen, etc) in the QuickTime preferences and all of them will play with the "on screen" controls feature of version 7. So "full screen" is different because of the dozens of display settings that may be used and the same for "fit to screen".
If you set the file dimensions too large for a small display setting the viewer will not be able to use the QuickTime controller (it could be "off screen).
I just checked all my AppleScripts and Automator actions and none include "fit to screen" options. No luck there.
If you set the movie dimensions (Visual Settings) to the "fit screen" size this would work on your display but maybe not on mine. To do that just open the Movie Info window with your file set to fit screen dimensions, note the size and adjust the file dimensions to those new values and "Save As".
Easiest method for your workflow would be to send instructions for viewing to the end users.
Keyboard shortcuts for QuickTime file display:
Command-0 (zero) = half size
Command-1 = normal size
Command-2 = double size
Command-3 = fit to screen
Command-F = full screen (presentation mode)

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.
