Screen does not refresh unless i move the mouse

I have a samsung screen plugged into my laptop via VGA cable.
When I am browsing the screen seems to hang unless I constantly jiggle the mouse. If my mouse is back on the laptop screen, the screen freezes until the mouse comes back over to the other screen

I noticed this behaviour after upgrading Firefox 4 to Firefox 5.
I resolved this problem by checking my Add-Ons.
One add-on was invalid with Firefox 5 and I just uninstalled that and my other add-ons (except FireBug) and everything was good again!

Nothing will load unless I move the mouse or type.

Ive used Firefox for quite a long time with no problems, upon updating last week to Firefox 4 Ive been encountering a pretty annoying problem.
After having Firefox open for anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes a problem will arise that pages, images, gifs, video, anything will not load unless i move the mouse or type. Its literally as if a pause button is hit and even the little animated loading icon on page tabs will freeze up and only animate if I move the mouse/type.
So far I have:
-Uninstalled/Reinstalled
-Updated/Removed Addons
-Ran in Safe Mode
Nothing has worked so far, even all the searching has only come up with tons more people with this problem and no solid answers.

It's a plugin. I disabled everything I didn't use, and it went away.

this worked for a while but now the problem is back.

I think you are in "full screen" mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes. Does that solve the mystery?

Login Window: Screen does not refresh correctly after waking 10.7.2 iMac and MacBook.

I have a client who brought to my attention that when we wakes his iMac and MacBook after the screen dims or sleeps at login screen, that sometimes the screen does not refresh correctly and you must use the cursor to basically "clear the screen." I have witnessed this myself and elimiated all third party products and this still happens. I am starting to believe that is is a bug in 10.7.2. Has anyone witnessed this or have any suggestions on how to remedy? Thank you.

Thanks lynque. It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem. I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential). I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

Since the last upgrade, aol email does not download unless I touch the e-mail icon

Since upgrading to 7.1.1 my email does not download unless I touch the e-mail icon. This affects both the I-pad and the I-phone 5s

I did the update on my iPad, but not on my phone and my AOL email hasn't been pushing to my phone or my iPad for the last couple of days. This started happening prior to me upgrading. I hoped that it would at least help my iPad, but it hasn't. Everything was fine until late Thurs or early Friday....May 1-May 2. I called AOL yesterday, and they said that they would have upper level techs see if they can find out if it's a server problem, etc or anything else on their end, and get back to me. Probably won't hear from them until Monday, at the earliest. It happened very suddenly with my "push" nolonger working for me on both devices.

Please I need to know what do I have to do.

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

Actually as Roam said, you can keypress, Option + command + 8
But i think wat you asking is that you dont want the screen mving when you move the mouse. Right?
For that you can, goto, System Preference -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> More Options...
Once you click more option, you'll get a window. Look at the bottom of the window for 3 options with bullet buttons. SELECT "ONLY WHEN THE POINTER REACHES AN EDGE" and click "DONE"
Viola!!! You're troubl's are over!!!

Firefox stops operating unless I move the mouse curser....HELP!

Firefox will stop operating unless I continue to move the mouse.
I have read where MANY others have the same problem. Lots of suggestions but nothing concrete.
If there is a fix, what is it or is there more than one issue/setting that needs to be checked and modified

Sorry for trouble try to re-install ff using the steps below
Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

When I try to refresh page, page doesn't seems to refresh unless I move my mouse ? Oo

Ok, this is strange... I use FF4 on my dell xps m1530. When I refreshed page with F5 , the page tab starts the refresh animation but freezes immediately after if mouse is in still. The page refreshes after I move the cursor. It is irritating because I often refresh pages. Is there another with this problem ?

MacBook does not startup unless I reset the PRAM.

Several times now I have turned on my MacBook and been greeted by a dead, blue screen. The computer does not load Mac OS X from this state. If I reset the PRAM (by forcing a shutdown and then holding CMDOPT+PR when the computer turns on) Mac OS X loads. Why does this happen?
I have made some modifications to the computer that may have influenced its performance.
1. Upgraded to 2GB RAM.
2. Uninstalled extra languages using the program Monolingual.
3. Disabled Dashboard.
4. Disabled Spotlight.
5. Disabled Journaling on my harddrive.
6. Repaired disk permissions.
7. Cleared logs and caches and ran Cron Scripts using the program Ultimate Task.

I think I have some other information, or hypotheses which i'd love other users to share information on.
I notice, that when i have this problem, that in System Preferences/Startup Disk that the MAC OS X system is not selected/highlighted.
Also, I was thinking, perhaps this is due to having bootcamp/windows installed ?
So 2 questions:
Do users experiencing this problem have Bootcamp installed with a windows system on their mac
and
After getting the dark grey screen and starting up (by resetting PRAM), does the System Preferences/Startup Disk that the MAC OS X system is not selected/highlighted ?
If this is the case, I guess we have a bit more information to go by...
If users that are experiencing this issue do not have bootcamp installed, then at least we can rule out bootcamp (since it is a beta).
If users are reporting the same nonselection of the system volume in system preferences, then at least we're talking about the same problem.

JMenu Bar does not show unless I resize the window

Hi, I have just a simple problem. I am trying to just have a blank JFrame with a JMenuBar at the top with the JMenu "File". I have the following code, but once I run the application it is just a blank frame with no Menus. Once I grab the frame and resize it with the mouse, it appears. What do I need to do to have the menu bar be shown once the application runs?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class ProgramWindow extends JFrame
private JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
private JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
public ProgramWindow()
setSize(300, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
setJMenuBar(jmb);
jmb.add(fileMenu);
Container c = getContentPane();
c.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setConentPane(c);
public class Program
public static void main (String[] args)
ProgramWindow pw = new ProgramWindow();
}

Normally you poop up and decorate frames/dialogs before you set them
visible. Otherwise you have to revalidate() them after you' ve added
some components to them. (resizing them does that for you as you have
noticed).
kind regards,
Jos

With Firefox 35.0 maximized, my windows taskbar does not appear when I move the curser ot the bottom of the screen

With all other applications running maximized (full screen) the Windows taskbar pops up from the bottom when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen, but now with Firefox. Why not, and how do I fix this?

Are you in fullscreen or maximized for Firefox?
There is an entry that show toolbars when in fullscreen you can check if its on in the about:config page, but if you have never been there before do not worry about this troubleshooting step. (I do not know if you have or not :-))
With those hypothesis it is possible to see if this happens in Safe Mode if you have any add ons or extensions that may affect this feature: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
