Safari and mouse cursor

I cannot use my cursor on my comcast home page. they think I need to update my browser. Do I need to add memory to get one since my computer is older? I have updated everything I can so far.

Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.
For OS X 10.7: From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Universal Access ▹ Seeing ▹ VoiceOver: Off

Safari and Mouse Gestures

Safari does not have mouse gestures properties. It is hard and boring to use scrollbar all time.
Please update our Safari-s.
I love Safari and I want to use it all time. Thank you

Problem solved; I reset NVRAM. Annoying though.

Safari and Mouse-wheel "click" function.

Hi.
I have this problem when i click on my mouse-wheel i can't fast scroll like i can in Internet Explorer.
Is there any setting for this or something?
I'll explain what i mean if you have problems understanding exactly where i'm going with this.
In Internet Explorer i always "click" on my mouse-wheel button to enable a faster way of scrolling up/down websites by just dragging the mouse up/down.
In Safari this option doesn't seem to exist.
Please help.

Hi Kenny79 and welcome to the Apple discussions forums!
Well the answer is unfortunately NO, their are no settings you can change, and this feature is NOT included in Safari for Windows as of now anyway.
Though, I can add that i miss that feature too !-).

Mercury Transmit and mouse cursor

Hi Folks
Trying to get Speedgrade set up correctly with my Aja Kona card and Mercury Transmit. Since I lose my desktop video window with MT, I can't adjust masks with the widget anymore since the controls appear on my Mercury Transmit output screen. I've tried using SHIFT-X to move the cursor to the MT screen but it just sits there in the middle of the screen and I can't control it. Am I missing something or is there probably something flaky with my setup?

Hi,
it's working for me, but this is really slow so I'm not really able to work with it (I'm thinking to buy a Tangent control panel for this).
I have the latest update of Speedgrade CC 7.2 + Quadro 4000 + AJA Kona 3G.
By the way, someone could tell me why the cursor is so slow on my output monitor (it takes around 1 second to answer the mouse motion) ?
Many Thanks

System hangs, but mouse cursor is moving and music keeps on playing

Hi,
I'm experiencing very odd behaviour with my MacBook.
System hangs suddenly. I can't switch to any programs, but music keeps on playing and mouse cursor moving. It stays like this forever unless I force laptop to shutdown (by pressing the power button over 5 secs).
Few things that I've noticed when system crashed:
- I had a lot of programs running (Photoshop, Firefox, lots of small apps)
- I used Expose or alt-tab
- iTunes is playing music
Can anyone recommend some tests or tricks that I could run before sending it to the Apple service?

You might be right about having less apps to consume RAM. I've upgraded my RAM to 2GB because I knew this would be on issue.
Maybe I just have to start looking for better performance. Something that can house more RAM. 2xQuad Core Mac Pro for example

- When this problem occurs again, go to the Apple Menu and activate Force Quit. Then, quit applications that may be hanging.
I tried to point out that mouse cursor is moving but system doesn't respond to any clicks.
I'll try the Main Menu and keep eye on RAM consumption. I'll post to this thread if it hangs again.

Every keystroke and mouse movement, I get an audio notice that I need to shut off. In Safari, the cursor cycles thru every link and metadata field and I get a verbal/audio notice of what it is. How do I shut this option off???

Mouse cursor jittery and broken after latest OS X update

I just updated my iMac (27", latest model, running Mountain Lion) with the most recent Software Update, and I'm now having big problems with my mouse.
The mouse cursor jitters wildly any time I move the mouse, jumping several centimetres back and forth (above-left and below-right; it doesn't seem to flicker randomly, just between those three positions. It flickers rapidly between the arrow cursor and the text selection cursor. When I stop moving the mouse, I will often get the wrong cursor (such as an arrow, or a text selection cursor on its side) instead of the correct text selection cursor. I've been stuck with the sideways text selection cursor for the entirety of this post, for instance.
This also happens in Photoshop when I'm working on images; the cursor will flicker between the arrow and whichever Photoshop tool I'm trying to use, and it will jitter wildly back and forwards. As you can imagine, this makes Photoshop unusable, which is a major problem for me.
It doesn't happen when I'm using stuff like the menus, or Control Panel, or the Safari bookmarks bar.
This happens whether I'm using a Magic Mouse via Bluetooth or a USB mouse, so it's not the mouse itself that's the problem.
I'm using the mouse on the same surface as I previously was with no problems (a wooden desktop with a matte finish), but the same thing happens when I try the mouse on other surfaces such as paper or a mousepad, so it's not the surface that's the problem.
Please help! This makes my Mac virtually unusable, at least for all the tasks I need to use it for. Any suggestions?

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

When I'm filling in the form on a website Firefox jumps down past the next block and I have to go back using my mouse cursor

For example on Find-A-Grave when filling in the form to add a memorial there are several blocks that you fill in including location. For some blocks you type in the information and others are pick one of the preset selections. I generally hit the tab key on my keyboard and goes to the next block except when it comes to the preset selection blocks. If I use the tab key to go to the next selection it skips right past the next selection to the selection below that. For example, after I fill in the year I hit the tab key and type u for the United States under the country selection. But in order to get the next block to appear I have to hit tab again (but only when using your browser). Your browser then skips past the state selection to the county selection. Then when I pick the state using the cursor it does it again and drops down to the Bio past the county selection.
When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem. I merely hit the tab button on my keyboard and it goes to the next selection rather than as your browser does that is skips to the block below.
Is there some reason you have it set up this way because it is quite annoying to have to go back up each time using the mouse cursor rather than continuing to use the keyboard to fill in everything (typing, tab key or using the arrow keys). To say the least it slows the whole process down a lot. No, it is not my computer. I've had the exact same problem using another computer. No, it is not the find-a-grave website. I just used it as an example. Using your browser forces me to stop using the keyboard to fill in a form and use the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse, etc when it shouldn't be necessary when filling out a form on a website.

Are you having the problem with just the one site? Others?
Please post some public linkss.
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

[Solved] Login freezing with busy mouse cursor and black screen.

After installing some recent updates I have suddenly found a problem when starting the login manager for Cinnamon.
After booting I am greeted with a black screen and a "busy" mouse cursor - like a stopwatch. I can't ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X.
What fixes it is - if I ctrl-alt-F2 to a new console and kill -9 the Xorg process. This causes X to restart normally. I have to do this every time now
I don't know if this is systemd related or what, but it only seemed to happen after the updates below.

Could you explain what happened or why this fixed it please?
Thanks for your help.
I don't know the details to be honest, but the title of your post basically describes my situation with GDM when I used accountsservice >0.6.25, so I figured it was worth a shot, since the symptoms were the same.
Also, Cinnamon depends on accountsservice if I'm not mistaken, so it didn't seem unreasonable that the update broke Cinnamon too.
I'm glad it works now. Let's hope a updated, working version of accountsservice is released soon.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

if you have startup issue, you can boot into Safe Mode to uninstall the problematic software to go back into Windows.

How to change mouse cursor during drag and drop

Hi Guys,
Iam performing a Drag and drop from Table1(on top of the figure) to Table2(down in the figure).
see attached figure
http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e80060d9d3.jpg
Have implemented the Drag and drop functionality using "Transferable" and "TransferHandler"using the java tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo
Now My problem is that ,I want to make the 1st column in Table2(ie: Column2-0) not to accept any drops so that the cursor appears like a "No-Drop" cursor but with selection on the column cell during a drop action.
Also when I move my cursor between "column2-0" and "column2-1",want to to have the "No-Drop" and "Drop" cursor to appear depending on the column.
How can I achieve it using the TransferHandle class.Dont want to go the AWT way of implementing all the source and target listeners on my own.
Have overridded the "CanImort" as follows:
public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
     JTable table = (JTable)c;
Point p = table.getMousePosition();
/* if(p==null)
     return false;
int selColIndex = table.columnAtPoint(p);
if(selColIndex==0)
     return false;*/
If I execute the above commented code,The "No-Drop" Icon appears in "column2-0",but no cell selection.Also If I move to "column2-1",which is the 1st column,Still get the "No-Drop" Icon there,also with no cell selection.
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))) {
return true;
return false;
Thanks in advance.....
Edited by: Kohinoor on Jan 18, 2008 3:47 PM

If you found the selection column based on the mouse pointer, then based on the column, you can set the cursor pointer as any one as below :
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Hi! My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook. So frustrating!

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5. My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse. And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!
