Share Screen mouse not pointing correctly

I have a MacBook Pro (c. 2007; OSX 10.8.3) connected via DVI port to an HD TV. The system works perfectly when I am using a Bluetooth mouse or an iPhone remote control app.
However, when I Share Screen with another computer, the mouse pointer does not display in the correct position. For instance, when the TV is on and showing the connected computer's Desktop, I can use Share Screen on another computer to control the connected computer's mouse -- but the mouse is in a different location on the TV from the Share Screen computer. I have to use my unconnected computer's touchpad while watching what's happening on the TV.
Basically, the mouse shows up on the TV in the correct position, but it shows up several inches to the left when viewed using Share Screen.
I have turned Overscan on and off, with no change. And messing with the Display options doesn't seem to fix the issue either.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you.

Thanks, I tried but that's not the issue.
I turned off Bluetooth on both the TV computer and the unconnected computer, but I'm still seeing the curser on the Share Screen computer several inches to the left of its true position.
Any other ideas?

I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

I just updated my 4S with iOS 8.1.1 and now my screens are not proportioned correctly - just a bit to long and wide. Is there a way to adjust? Or go back to 8.1?

lisan1234,
I am sorry to hear about the screen issues. To clarify, do you only notice the screen proportion difference when in a certain application? By to long or wide are you stating that parts of the screen images are cut off? Please provide details

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

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....

Why am I only offered share screen and not connect as?

I have one laptop on the network that only offers "share screen" and not "connect as". Can anyone help?

Share Screen does not work well when wifi is turned on.

Hello,
I'm having a minor little problem with Share Screen among 3 machines, 2 Lion OS mac pros connected with network cable, and a 3rd mbp laptop, also LION. I use share screen a lot and I am unable to connect from my main mac pro to the 2nd mac pro (via an ethernet cable) when wifi is turned on.....actually, I can connect, but it gets stuck on the "Connecting" screen and then 10 minutes later, it connects. When I turn wifi off, then hit Share Screen, the connection and response is very fast.
After several hours playing with Sharing preferences....I think it seems like a network thing. I have checked network preferences, and re-ordered them to prioritize ethernet over wifi, powered off all devices including router, and everything else I can think of. btw, the share screen connection from my laptop to the mac pro is fine, even when wifi is turned on on the laptop.
A simple work around is to just turn wifi off, make my connection, then turn wifi back on. But I'm curious and would like to solve this issue. It started after my 10.7.4 client combo update and has been working fine for several months before that, so I'd like to figure it out. Any ideas?
Thanks for all the help on these boards.

Nevermind.
I had a failing hard drive (not the OS drive) in one of the drive bays. A couple of days after I posted this question, the drive (which has been at S.M.A.R.T. status "failing" for 6 months completely died, at which point the computer wouldn't even turn on. After removing the drive, everything with the Share Screen works fine, both over network cable and wifi.

Magic Mouse not working correctly??

I just installed the new Mountain Lion OS and now my Magic Mouse does not work correctly. First after I log in, I have to turn the mouse off and on then then it will move. When I goto the options menu for the mouse none of the addtional features are there for the mouse including the scrolling. Any suggestions?

Hi Hunters Dad. I also had this problem and it turned out to be the bluetooth connection. After I upgraded, the bluetooth connection dropped off system preferences.
To locate your bluetooth connections click on the Apple logo in top left hand corner of screen, select System Preferences and look under Internet & Wireless. You should see Bluetooth there. If you don't, then power cycle your computer (see below). Afterwards go back to the System Preferences and Bluetooth should be there.
To Power Cycle my computer Apple support had me shut down my computer, take out the power cable and all other connections for one minute then plug back in and restart as follows:
press your computer ON button and then hold down the p r command option keys at the same time until the 2nd chime. I also have been having long boot ups since upgrading and the chimes didn't come on. Applecare instructed me to stop holding the keys and the computer eventually booted up. Lo and behold the bluetooth connections were visible and my magic mouse and trackpad now work fine.
Hope this works for you.

On Equium A100-337 WLAN connection security screen is not displayed correctly

My computer use to connect to a specific wireless network without any problems automatically. However, now when trying to connect to the same network, the security key screen I am presented with is not the correct type. Instead of two lines of encryption there is only one. When I enter the correct password I get a message to say I am connected to the network but cannot access the Internet. The wireless router is working fine.
Do I need to reset something on my computer or change a setting?

Hi
May I ask what wireless configuration tool do you use???
Did you try to refresh or to reconfigure the WLan profile on the router and on the notebook?
Try this. Disable the encryption on router and try to connect without the security settings. If it will work you can set the encryption settings back.
You could also try to reinstall the WLan driver.
By the way; did you use any firewalls??? Sometimes enabled firewall could has a bad influence on the WLan or internet connectivity.

Share screen button not appearing when remote from office

When I am in the office connected via the local LAN the share screen button in Finder is displayed. When I am at home anc connected via broadband I can still see the server and shares but I have no share screen button. Is there a preference that needs to be set somewhere to enable the remote share screen or is it more likely to be a firewall issue with a blocked port?

For sharing the screen of remote computers when screen sharing is enabled and the "Share Screen" button does not show up, an alternative is to launch screen sharing via Safari using the numeric IP address of the remote MAC. The issue you are having is most likey caused by the presence of one or more firewall in the network path. Here is a brief video demo on using Safari to launch screen sharing...

An connect to other Macs via Share Screen, but not RemoteDesktopAdmin

Please help. I can connect to other Macs on the network via Share Screen, but cannot get a connection using Remote Desktop Admin. Just keeps being stuck on verify. Running Lion 10.7.3 with latest Remote Desktop Admin. All Macs are on the same local ethernet network. All was fine before update to 10.7.3.

Thank you Dave for responding. I did check the above as you mentioned. In the end, I decided to roll back my mac via timemachine to it's pre `10.7.3 upadre state. Not sure why it took me so long to think of that ... perhaps it was just tooo obvious Anyway, all is now working, and for whatever reason, re-installing the 10.7.3 combo update didn't break Remote Desktop Admin the second time now. Not a clue way it worked , but glad it did.

VMware Player and mouse not behaving correctly with the vmmouse driver

I'm running Arch on VMware Player and having problems with the mouse behavior.
- Arch is updated, 32 -bit
- VMware Player 6.0.1
- Host is Windows 8.1 64-bit
- XFCE 4.10
If I install xf86-input-vmmouse, the following happens:
- If cursor touches the edge of the screen when scrolling a window with the scroll bar, scrolling stops. If I continue pressing the mouse button and moving the mouse (and not touching any edges), the scrolling starts working again after two seconds.
- When opening any new window, hovering and clicking will register only after two seconds. This is very noticeable when opening the application menu and trying to launch any app - first click never works.
Uninstalling the vmmouse driver fixes the above problems. The mouse "feeling" gets very bad though, it seems jumpy and the acceleration is crazy and can't be tweaked to be satisfactory with the mouse settings. With vmmouse the mouse feels otherwise just fine.
Installing or uninstalling Open-VM-Tools doesn't do anything.
I tried this, but it had no effect: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … s_expected
Happens both in fullscreen and windowed, scrolling behavior happens every time, hover/click lag is not so predictable (seems to happen 50 % of the time).
Might there be any easy fix for this?

Hi Sung, Thanks for your reply.
Leonardo:
If I understand your msg correctly, I'm wondering if
the data model as you described is complete.
You state that you have MaintenanceType, Maintenance,
and MaintenanceOrder, but don't you need
MaintenanceOrderLine?MaintenanceOrderLine is what I'm calling Maintenance. A Maintenace record is used just to link a MaintenanceOrder to a MaintenanceType
>
Otherwise, you say that you removed all Maintenance's
in step 2). How did you form a list of all
Maintenance's in step 4)? How do you form this
list?
was raised due to unique constraint violationAt step 3) I'm using a view object, MaintenanceTypeView, to create a list of checkboxes, one for each MaintenanceType.
At step 4), for each MaintenanceType selected in the form, I'm creating a new Maintenance using:
//All codes of maintenance types, that already have a
//respective maintenance record in the db, have already
//been remove from the maintenancesToInsert list at this
//point
for (Iterator iter = maintenancesToInsert.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
MaintenanceViewRow maintenanceRow = (MaintenanceViewRow) maintenanceView.createRow();
maintenanceRow.setMaintenanceTypeCode(Integer.valueOf((String)iter.next()));
maintenanceView.insertRow(maintenanceRow);

Keyboard / Mouse not working correctly all of a sudden

I spilt a little of my drink on my keyboard, but I dried it up with a towel immediately and it seemed fine. I probably was pressing multiple buttons while I was drying it off though. After I got done, the keyboard and mouse are not working right. I can only type my password into the OSX logon screen, then I can't type anything anywhere. When I left click with my mouse, it opens a dialog box instead of clicking (unless I'm clicking on a menu).
What should I do to get it working right again?
Thanks

Also, when I open Word and could type in it one time, it just showed boxes even though I was using times new roman.

Screen Flows Not Working Correctly

We are using OPM 10.2.
We decided to extensively use screen flows because we had a requirement wherein the user should be allowed to navigate back and forth on the OPA screens.
If we do not use screen flows the following screnario occurs..
We've a rule which is satisfied if all attributes on Screen1 Screen2 and Screen3 are known.
User enters details on Screen1 and Screen2, but he wants to navigate back from Screen3 to Screen1, he reaches Screen1 by hitting browser Back twice, but when he again hits
Submit on Screen1 he's directly navigated to Screen3 skipping Screen2. This is because all attributes on Screen2 had been collected in first iteration.
We used screen flows expecting that this would force the required screen order, but it is also behaving in similar way.
Does it have any thing to do with the way the rules are written.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi user1002818,
The reason that the screens aren't being displayed again is because then engine has the data which was collected on those screens - from a rules point of view there is no need to display them again. To enforce a particular forward/backwards flow we have Interview Flows, which it sounds like you've already started to use.
One of the reasons that OWD doesn't support an OOTB 'back' button is because navigating backwards in a session has the possibility of invalidating data 'upstream' in the interview. e.g. I fill in some personal details on one screen, on screen 2 I say that I have children, and on screen 3 I create children instances. When I navigate back and change my previous answer to 'I do not have children' what happens to the children instances which I've created? Semantically my session is now invalid. It's a choice left up to the customer/project as to how they want to manage their session validity (delete the data, show the data and ask the customer if it's valid or just do nothing).
One way to achieve what you want to do would be to author rules as normal and manage the screen flows via a simple push/pop stack implementation which keeps track of screen submissions and data entered on those screens. This will give you the flexibility to both delete invalid data or display it to the user again as you wish
Could you tell me which project it is that you're working on at the moment please? I'm working on large UK project at the moment and the OPA team is providing support to achieve something very similar.

Splash screen does not display correctly

Hello everyone. I have a class which shows a spashscreen. When run from the main method it display the splash correcly.
I have a login module. When the login is sucessful , I call the splashcreen module. Here the problem arises. It just gives me the white background. The image is not there.
I also encounter this sort of problems when calling other panels from my mainpage. The panels have a background. When called for the first time they appear distorted. When a second time they are called( by clicking the menu button from my mainpage) everything displays correctly.
I am very confused with the above problem because there is simply no error in the coding. I can't see where the problem lies.
Please Please Help me! I'll be indepted to you all!

This is my class that I've written that works fine. Feel free to use it.
