Screen moves with the mouse !

Since few weeks the screen of my iMac G4 800mHz( Flat Panel 17") acts curiosly: It moves along with the mouse mouvement.
When I move the cursor to the right, the screen moves few pixels to the left.
Inversely, if I move it to the left, the screen moves to the right.
Same thing in the vertical axis.
I tried to change the resolution and the problem persists.
What should I do ?

It sounds like you have accidentally activated zoom.
You can disable zoom in System Preferences->Universal Access preference pane.

My Screen Moves with my Mouse

My 1 year old got to my keyboard and banged away for a few seconds before I could reach him. Now my screen is expanded and moves with the movement of my mouse. I have no idea what he did and can't seem to fix it. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello Jenni
Pretty smart for a 1 year old, hold the control key and roll the scroll ball down
or try ⌥⌘8 (option command 8)

How do I create an object that moves with the mouse?

I don't use Flash a lot, so things like this confuse me...
I'm trying to code so that an object, mostly likely a circle, moves
around when the mouse moves. Also, I want it to disappear when the
mouse leaves the screen. Can anybody help me do this?
Thanks.

circle_mc is the instance name of the circle, so just change
it to be whatever you want it to be.
One thing with that, you may want to have the image centered
within the stage of the movieclip, otherwise it will appear to be
following the mouse by the corner of it.
This ain't no carny show, so your shenigans declaration is
void unless you can get a majority vote and brought your
broom.

Every time I move my mouse, my entire desktop moves with the mouse!!!!!!

Wow - I have no idea what's going on. I was surfing the net and all of a sudden when I move my mouse everything I see moves with it. I've tried restarting, shut down, etc. I tried restarting with Disk Warrior holding down c and then it disappears - but Warrior says my disk is too severely damaged to repair? So I restart again and when my desktop appears all my icons shift off the screen. Again, I move my mouse and everything moves with it -PLEASE HELP!!!

It sounds like your display is zoomed. Open System Preferences, Universal Access window. You will probable see that "Zoom" is set to "On". You can either turn it off there, or use the hotkey combination cmd-option-8 to toggle Zooming. See there is also a hotkey for zooming in and out. You must have hit the "zoom in" hotkey inadvertently.
If you click the "Options" button, you see the settings that are causing the window to relocate. At the bottom, you probably have "Continuously with pointer" selected.
I should mention that 10.4.9 has two odd glitches that cause the display to shift around, these are probably soon-to-be-implemented features in 10.5.

All of a sudden my diplay appears to be larger than the screen. The display scrolls with the mouse. How to correct?

My screen scrolls with the mouse to show the entire display. Looks like the display is larger than the monitor. Have no idea what teh cause ws but have been unable to correct. Any suggestions?

Went to universal access, turned off zoom and it corrected the problem.
Thank you.

jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

My Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move thumbnails with the mouse.

For some unknown reason my Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move the thumbnails with the mouse to change the order of a PDF document. I've tried reinstalling. I'm at my wits end on this one...

Try updating to version 9.5.2. I seem to remember that one of the earlier updates did this and a later update rectified the issue. I don't have that issue with 9.5.2

Premiere Elements 13 issue with the mouse on MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
When I select a clip of video and move to a different place in my time line, Premiere Elements 13, will not release the clip from the mouse.
The clip follows my mouse movements and goes to other places in my time line.
I try to delete these extra insertions, but the mouse will not release the clip.
Action I’ve taken: I’ve re-installed Premiere Elements 13. Problem remains.
This issue has consumed too much of my time and does not go away. It ruins my video.
Help please.
Thanks

I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
So thanks! Problem solved!

When I select a single object in a layer and try to move it with the mouse, everything goes with...

I've been having this problem where I can't use the move tool with the mouse properly. I'll go and select a single item on a layer and then try to move it with the mouse (move tool). I've done this before and still do it all the time on Photoshop on my other machines. However, on my laptop it won't work. I grab the single object I want to move and the second I move it, it defaults to moving every single layer in my file. The only way to get around it is to use the arrows, but that's becoming laborious and frustrating.
Any ideas?

I know what you mean! This happened to me as well!
And one thing that I found useful is, if you want to directly select a layer without selecting from the layers pallete and without having autoselect enabled, just hold Ctrl and click on in directly in the image. This saved me a lot of time!

When I try to open I Movie the screen appears with the message creating thumbnails and all my projects have disappeared. Then everything freezes and I have to force close my Macbook Pro

When I try to open I Movie thes screen appears with the message "creating thumbnails" and then freezes. None of my events or projects appear in the libraries. I cannot close I Movie or my computer and have to force shut down my Macbook. This is a sudden occurence.

You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and it strews stuff all over your hard drive in places the migration assistant is not programmed to look. Now you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
after which you can go around and manually remove all the bits from Applications, the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help with this; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files.
Then you can reinstall from scratch. Let us know if you need help finding the library folders.

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.

Google seems to change their login security occasionally, and apps that assume it will work a particular way get left out in the cold till they are updated, since the login process is hard-coded into the app.
Here is the automated e-mail I received today from Google when tried to upload a movie using iMovie.

System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing is where you can turn it off!

Suddenly I cannot move messages to files by grabbing them with the mouse. I have used the programme for years but this has only happened once before. I have restarted my computer but it still does not work. I think it is a vital and necessary function.
