Squeeky noise as cursor moves over dock

All of a sudden, anytime my cursor moves over the dock a squeeky, almost static like noise, comes fromt the speakers -- speaker volume does not affect the volume of the noise -- always rather low -- speed of the cursor does affect the frequency of the noise. There doesn't seem to be any noise associated with other movement or activity - just the cursor on the dock.
Any suggestions?

The fact that turning off the dock features changes the sound means that it is processor intensive. The question is what has changed to make this so?
There were reports of power supplies causing the type of distortion you describe and it was audible on systems used for recording music and manipulating it.
I have never heard the distortion on my system but I've got the revision B power supply.
Some of the users who had the problem recorded it and made quicktime recordings that were posted. It was faint but audible. The sounds changed with usage of the system.
I don't know if this is what is happening to your system. I don't think so but if some process has changed due to an update or something it is possible for strange sounds to come out of a computer for no apparent reason.
So, now what? You could try cleaning caches, repairing permissions, repairing the disk, etc. My guess is that they will have no effect. If it is the power supply problem it is hardware and not software. If it is a changed/corrupted file I would say try an archive and istall or an erase and install.
Another thought. Have you reset the pmu? If it is the power supply that could fix it.

I have Norton running and it let me install these without the usual warning!
None of them show up as "running" on the windows process list.

I just upgraded to 10...and now links and buttons black out when my cursor moves over them, and my entire window goes black whenever I scroll.

I just upgraded to Firefox 10 and had to go back to 3.6 because 10 doesn't seem to work on my computer. I have a windows 7 pc. After upgrading, whenever I moved my cursor over a button or link, that link blanks out or a black bock appears over it. Additionally, whenever I try to scroll, the entire window goes black until I stop scrolling.

Hi Nester88,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps!

Since the new upgrade, Firefox opens as an opaque windown which dissolves as the cursor moves over it. It also seems to be affecting other programs.

Other programs include Spider Solitaire and like games which have trouble loading.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?

Is there a way to remove the text that appears over dock icons when the cursor is over them?

Is there any way to remove the text that appears over dock icons when you hover over them? Or at least make it time out, or become more transparent?

You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

How do I make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another textbox?

I'm trying to make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign when the user rolls the cursor over another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the first textbox. I've tried the following with various setting, and it's just not working for me.
Display a different button on rollover
You can create a hot spot in which clicking or mousing over an object displays another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons, and use the Show/Hide Button action to show and hide the target button.
Create an object to be used as the source button. In the Buttons panel, click the Convert Object To A Button icon.
Place the image you want to be used as the target button, and convert it to a button.
Select the target image and select Hidden Until Triggered at the bottom of the Buttons panel.
The image needs to be hidden in the exported document so that it can be displayed when the source button is moused over or clicked.
Select the source button and create two different actions, one to show the target image and a second to hide the target image.
If you want the image to appear when the mouse hovers over the source button, use the On Roll Over and On Roll Off events. If you want the image to appear when you click the source button and disappear when you release it, use the On Click and On Release events. In either case, use the Show/Hide Buttons action to display and hide the target button. See Make buttons interactive.
Use the Preview panel to test the buttons.

Here's more information about what I'm doing.
1. create text box with a little text
2. turn it into a button (Button 1)
3. create another text box with some text
4. turn this into a button (Button 2)
5. check "Hidden Until Triggered" for Button 2
6. For Button 1, select "On Roll Over" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 visible on roll over).
9. For Button 1,, select "On Roll Off" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into crossed-out eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 invisible on roll off).
8. Export to PDF with modified smallest file size and include bookmarks and hyperlinks and include appearance for interactive elements.
Both buttons are visible in the PDF, and nothing happens with roll over and off.
What am I doing wrong?

Event Precedence - Mouse Move or Cursor Move on Graph?

Since LabVIEW 8+ introduced cursor events (grab, move, release), is there a conflict that would occur between a mouse move event and cursor move event since a cursor move involves a mouse move? Or, since the cursor move requires the left mouse button to be down, does that allow LabVIEW to differentiate which event is occurring? I have some code I am writing to draw a box on an intensity graph (using the new plot.images property for graphs) so as to extract a region of interest. At first, I want a cursor to follow the mouse as it moves over the graph. Then, I want to draw the box region when I grab the cursor (with left mouse key down) and drag it. Differentiation of these two event types will allow me to unambiguously accomplish this task.
Thanks,
Don

Moving a cursor will interleave mouse move and cursor move events.
However, you can easily keep state of mouse up/down to distinguish what to do in this particular case. See attached draft (8.20).

HELP! Continuous Object Motion When Mouse Moves Over - ActionScript 3.

Hello! I'm working on a school project. Below is an image of what I am working on.
My cursor in this movie is the heart. When I move my mouse over Hello Kitty she jumps -- but only once. How can I get her to keep jumping when my mouse is over her, and make her stop jumping when I pull away? Here is the code below. If you can help that would be great!!!
Also, because I am new to ActionScript I might have messed up with the motion of the animation. Hello Kitty used to jump continuously without me doing anything. Then I copied the motion code into my ACTIONS layer and put stop(); in the Hello Kitty object code. So, she doesn't jump all the time anymore, just when my mouse moves over her... but she only jumps once and that is the problem. I want her to keep jumping as long as my mouse is over her. Please HELP! THANKS!!!!

I won't be around much longer today, so on just a hunch I'd say if you comment out all of what you showed in your first posting, use what's below, and get rid of anything that might be stopping the kitty from jumping, it might work... though it might not...
HKITTY_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
HKITTY_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, kittyJump);
function kittyJump(event:MouseEvent):void {
HKITTY_mc.play();
HKITTY_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, kittyStop);
function kittyStop(event:MouseEvent):void {
HKITTY_mc.gotoAndStop(1);

The balloon tips which appear when the cursor hovers over text has been disabled or is now a small box with no text

There is a balloon tips dialogue box that appears when the cursor hovers over text or information box. For example, if you move your cursor over an empty box while filling out a form the little box appears next to the cursor and says "Enter name."
The balloon is no long showing information or any text. The balloon pops up but is too small to have text in it. How do I turn this back on?

Try disabling the Google Toolbar extension and see if that is the cause.

After moving and resizing control, some controls don't redraw properly as the cursor passes over them.

I have a top-level VI with three panes (two splitters). One of the panes contains nested tab controls. One of the tab pages contains six XY-graphs, a table and some decorations.
I use a subVI to resize and relocate the tabs and contained controls. All this is working fine, and everything looks fine after the resizing is complete.
The problem is when the cursor passes over certain controls (the chart legends and the table column headers for example), they redraw with gray boxes. The problem only occurs after enlarging the window from its minimum size. It goes away if the window is resized back down to minimum.
Anything that causes the window to redraw, like another resize or minimize/restore, properly refreshes the screen.
Has anyone seen this problem, and have a workaround?
The problem exists in development environment or built in LV 9.01 or LV 2010.
Thanks!
Matt Dennie

Thanks again for taking a look at my problem.
force redraw - This is apparently only available in LV2010. I did give at a try, but it did not prevent the problem, nor did it correct the problem once the gray boxes appeared.
disable updates (on a graph) - This apparently only applies to 3-D graphs, which is not what I am using in this case.
disable front panel updates - I tried disabling updates before moving/resizing the front panel controls, then re-enabling updates afterwards. The problem is exactly the same as before. Once the move/resize is complete, passing the mouse over the table column headers or the graph plot legend results in the gray boxes.
I would appreciate any other suggestions you may have.
Again... the problem is not that the moving and resizing don't work. They work fine. But once the resizing is complete, passing the mouse over the legend or table column headers causes gray boxes to appear.
Thanks!

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/2c232f1e4d12129e
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My wifi icon will not move over on ipad2

my wifi icon will not move over on ipad2

Thank you guys, hopefully this isn't going to be something i have to do on a regular basis. Another question, when i shake my phone close to my ear i can hear a slight rattle inside my phone. I don't recall hearing it when i first got it but then again i never tried to listen. Is it the Accelerometers inside my phone? Is it normal to hear it? It's not a crazy rattle but you can clearly hear something inside moving around. Is this something i should be worried about? My phone works fine except for the battery icon thing but i'm still worried by the noise. I have the apple protection plan...

G570 opening anything Cursor passes over

I need help. My wife's Corei3, Win8 based, G570 has begun to act erratically. The system will open every app or program that the cursor passes over and will not access the far right or left screen options to allow me to shut it down. I eventually have to remove the battery in order to shut it off. It is unusable in this condition. If you allow the cursor to stay on one icon it will continue to open that application until you move it.
I have run Malwarebytes, AdAware, Spybot S&D and have Norton 360 installed and operating. I thought it may have had something to do with one of the Facebook game apps that she'd been playing. This had happened before and I ran the above programs and it pointed to Facebook as the problem. This time, it hasn't found anything. I can't get into the Control panel to get into the area to unistall programs. I was kinda wondering if it could be an issue with the Macromedia Flash.
Any ideas? Could this be a hardware issue or a driver issue with the touchpad?
Thanks

hi johnmcd348,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
If you have Windows 7, try to:
1. Boot into Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing F8 during startup. If the problem persist, there's probably a problem with the Touchpad or the Touchpad's left/right clicker.
2. To isolate the issue, try to remove the Touchpad cable (you need to remove the keyboard first - see page 47 of the hardware maintenance manual on how to remove the keyboard)
Touchpad Cable:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
After removing the touchpad cable, put the keyboard back in, power on the PC and use a USB mouse. If everything works ok, you will need to replace the whole Top Cover (keyboard bezel) that includes the touchpad. - part #: 90200980.
Hope this helps.
