Stutter noise and flashing mouse pointer upon starting or restarting

Hi,
Please help me with an issue:
Upon starting or restarting computer, pointer starts flashing with a stutter noise (at the same rhythm) also pointer selects items randomly, or won't select any.
One temporary but not permanent fix is if I deactivate then reactivate Adobe Shockwave via Firefox.
Thanks so much,
Lynn

Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

Strange noise and flashing lights -- can this be battery/power-related?

I have had two occurrences of a very strange sound and never-before-seen flashing of a light on my TiBook. Here is what happened:
I recently got a new battery (a NewerTech Extend 4800) for my 3 year-old PowerBook. I carefully followed the directions that came with the battery and installed it, then plugged in the power adapter to charge it up. I then started the computer so I could see the battery’s progress. Upon start-up, a “whooo” sort of sound came out of the computer for a few moments and the little sleep indicator light flashed several times (as did the apple light on the back of the computer lid). Nothing appeared to be out of order and the computer started normally otherwise. I was able to monitor the battery’s progress and since everything seemed to work normally and no one I talked to seemed to think I’d damaged anything, I just used the computer normally for the next two weeks with no problems.
Then last night the computer just shut down all by itself – I did not put it to sleep and it is not set to go to sleep on its own (my power saving setting is only set to dim the screen), nor did I click “shut down.” I thought perhaps somehow the power cord had not been attached and the battery had run down, although the new battery has been warning me properly when the battery is getting low, so that doesn’t make sense. It would not wake, so I restarted it. Upon restart, the same noise and flashing light situation occurred again.
I called the company that sold me the battery and the tech guy’s suggestion there was to reset the PMU and he gave me an Apple article to instruct me on how to do that. I have done that, but there is no evidence that that has solved whatever the issue was. I am hoping that someone can identify the sound and lights pattern and advise me as to whether it is some more serious issue, or if it’s nothing to worry about. It has been suggested to me that it is possibly a power adaptor issue, but since I’ve run down and recharged the battery without incident several times in between the two occurrences, that doesn’t seem logical either. Is there a known signal a computer makes when there is some power/charging issue?
Thanks for any help you have or for at least posting if you have had a similar experience. So far, no one I’ve talked to has ever heard of this before.

Hi ChloeB,
Your description of the "moaning" sounds at startup sounds like something I'm dealing with. I came across the following post by EWW in the "My Powerbook Won't Start Up". I recommend the link and wish to specifically credit EWW with the posting, as I found it helpful. The URL is

Hi, limberlingo, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2 (Oct. 1999 and later Macs)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
Your Powerbook is not detecting any good RAM at startup. This may indicate that your RAM (all of it — do you have one module or two installed?) has gone bad, or that it isn't seated properly. The first thing to try is reseating it: remove the module(s) and then reinsert it(them). Then try starting up again. If that doesn't do the trick, and you have only one RAM module, it's probably bad and will have to be replaced. A single RAM module having intermittent problems before failing completely (as it apparently has now) would account for all your problems.
If you have two modules, it's much less likely that both of them have failed or loosened in their slots simultaneously. Post back with results of your testing.

There's another thread I found where one of the causes of a three-tone warning was found to be a pinched ribbon cable coming off the bottom of the trackpad. You can find that in the thread titled "Solution to Freezes Caused By Ribbon Cable" - - the information provided by Marc Posner, Anthony Brade and others.

Hope this helps.

Flashing Mouse pointer when sharing desktop

I have a problem when sharing my desktop - The Flashing Mouse pointer makes me ill. It's like a seizure-inducing strobe and gives me instant nausea.
I read that this flashing is by design. If this is the case, can anyone suggest a workaround or an alternative version of Lync/OCS since I need to share my desktop as part of my job so this is a real problem for me.
Thanks
Tom

When others control your desktop, it is unavoidable to see the flashing mouse pointer.
If you just want to share specific programs, you can choose share program only.

Acrobat 9 flash/flex form scrolling and hand mouse pointer problems

Hello.
There is pdf file with embeded flash swf file inside. Main business logic has been implemented on flash: there are drop-down interactive menu and navigation links.
I've noticed 2 problems related to Acrobat (flash movie itself, standalone, works correctly):
1. Scrolling over drop-down menu doesn't work: mouse wheel doesn't scroll content of drop-down form menu. So, I have to manually click on scroll bar.
2. Hand mouse pointer over links losses "hand" icon. Hand icon shows for short period and then disappears but should be visible while mouse pointer is over a link.
I managed to test these problems on Windows, MacOS with Acrobat Proffessional 9.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.1
So, Is there any way to resolve these problems?
Thanks in advance

I'll take a look at these. #1 is a known issue with Flash Player and is already being looked at, haven't heard about #2 though.

Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have.

This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

As of today 7-19-2011, my mouse pointer has started to flicker & when I move it I see it when I'm not It disapears disappears, this just started a while ago, could it be a jave issue?

I finished posting on games forums, and went to a different page and as I stated in the Question section, my mouse pointer stated Flickering when I move it around and when I stop, it disappears. I restarted my PC thinking that would clear it up, as my daughter was playing a game on the PC for many hours today, and I even checked to see if the browser is up to date and it is, as per Help -> About Fire Fox. This have never happened before & I have been using Fire Fox for a long time, or if it is a plugin? Or if is a Java Issue.

Hello cor-el,
Thank you for the reply, and I did try searching first, when I did not find a solution, I post my question. I did read through the solutions and what to do, and I am using the default theme, so there was no need to disable that option. I did not even get to go through all the options to see what was causing the issue. As soon as I received a message in my e-mail that you replied, I came straight here and when I did, the issue of the Flickering mouse pointer seemed to correct it's self. It just stopped and has not happened again, since and that is why I waited to reply to you, to make sure that it had stopped.
I thank you again & greatly appreciate your assistance.

Premiere, Media Encoder and Flash Cue Points - bug?

I've been encoding a number of FLV On2 VP6 videos recently and using the new Media Encoder. For this project we need flash cue points (nav and event). I've discovered some weird things in Media Encoder - it's been duplicating cue points (or maybe the export from Premiere is buggy with cue points?).
I've seen the first couple of cue points getting duplicated with the first letter of the name capitalised and moved a frame on in time - very weird.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
Paul.

OK, I think I've found out why - not a bug - user misunderstanding!!! (although tricky to find!)
Some of my source footage was created in After Effects. It turns out that there were a couple of cue points in the AE comp that had similar names to the cue points in Premiere - the AE comp was saved out to an AVI (with metadata enabled I think).
Premiere wasn't seeing this metadata and the cue points, but Media Encoder was (and it couldn't be deleted in ME - just kept coming back).
So - moral of the story - be careful with metadata!!!
I guess that Premiere should really show this embedded data though?
Paul.

Fluttering top 20% of screen and bad mouse pointer.

I just opened the box of a Pavilion p6-2378, and connected to a monitor (trying both VGA and DVI modes separately). Top 20% of screen keeps fluttering, and mouse pointer is a large black box and difficult to follow. Video card diagnostics dreport no problem.What else can I try before returining the product?

Hello tarti,
That sounds like a strange issue. So putting a second monitor and different cable on the same result. It may be the port on the computer that is the problem.
Your computer has both VGA and DVI ports, have you tried both?

Blinking/flashing mouse pointer

I'm working with the demo version of Adobe Captivate 3, and
so far I'm liking it a lot. The problem I'm having, though, is that
in full-motion capture mode, the mouse cursor blinks constantly at
a high rate. It makes it hard to see where I'm clicking.
The pointer theme is Windows' default, and I tried disabling
hardware accelleration.
What is going on here?
Josh

I don't use full-motion capture mode, Josh, so I may be no
help (Captivate really isn't designed to be used as a full-motion
capture device - IMHO). But obviously there is a problem, so let's
try to troubleshoot it.
Have you tried a totally different mouse scheme (Windows
Control Panel > Mouse)? To see if it is an issue with the colors
in the OS, try changing to 16 bit color mode (Control Panel >
Display > Settings). If that is no help, I think the next thing
I might look at is the color scheme of your desktop ... as in
switching to Windows Classic color scheme. That will eliminate a
few millions of colors from each slide (screen capture). Any help
yet? I am just throwing out what suggests itself, and as you can
see, I am treating it as a color or display adapter issue ... could
be entirely wrong, but we gotta start somewhere.
~regards

My speakers are making a stuttering noise and the mouse is flickering random software glitches

Hi
as soon as I boot my speakers are making a stuttering noise unless I turn them down to nothing. this noise will continue while I work if I turn my speakers up.
But if I watch or listen to anything the noise is gone.
The mouse flickers and links on the desktop open without me wanting them to.
When I go under the Apple Icon TRHS the menu flickers and behaves strangely.
What could be happening ?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Mvdw

Thanks for your replies, I have done a re-boot from disc utilities and repaired and verified disc and permissions.
This cleaned it up. But then I logged into LinkedIn using Safari ....the program froze when asked to link to one of my contacts. All of the bugs then returned. Only the combo of LinkedIn and Safari cause the problem . Other browsers work perfectly.
I would like to eliminate all bugs this combo causes - does anyone have a fix ?

HT1338 My mouse pointer just started going crazy from the track pad

It's making all kinds of movements and actions on its own. Bluetooth is disabled so it not another device. any ideas?

Turned out to be the battery. I never would have guessed that one!
When I first started hearing reports of "exploding" batteries, I didn't believe it either. But I've since learned that, though not common, it's also not amazingly rare.

Weird noise and the MacBook doesn't start

Heyya guys!
A friend of mine has this MacBook white and for some reason the computer doesn't start... i don't even get the Apple logo and there is something strange on the combo drive... It sounds like it's trying to eject something or read something but there's nothing inside....
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Does your friend have the original install discs for the computer?
If so, have your friend insert Install Disc 1 and boot the computer with the C key held down. Once the Installer loads, choose a language, then from the Utilities menu, choose *Disk Utility*. If your friend is using Boot Camp to run Windows, have him/her click on *Macintosh HD* in the left-hand column. If Windows is not being run, have him/her click on the top-most hard drive icon, which will have the capacity of the drive listed.
Once a drive is selected, click the *Repair Disk* button. Record any errors that can't be repaired, if any.
If the install DVDs aren't available, have your friend try booting in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting.

DVD and mouse pointer stutter

I recently experienced problems with playing DVDs AND my mouse pointer (trackpad). The DVDs are interrupted with subtle pauses, which make it ratehr unpleasant to watch a film. The mouse too is interrupted, stops in the flow and then jumps back on track. haven't experienced difficulties before, but I had recently installed a USB Modem (+software) to get online, but it never worked. I deinstalled, however, the "stutters" in DVD and mouse pointer persist. I ran Disk Repair - nothing noted. Any ideas?

How did you solve this? I'm getting this on my mouse, my DVDs and, sometimes, on my downloaded video.
I recently upgraded to QT 7.4.1. I've heard there are problems with that upgrade. Any ideas?
