The whole darned screen moves when I move the cursor.  Help!!!!!!

After a full-on ten-fingered assault on my keyboard by a three-year-old, my Screen Display area seems to have outgrown the display. Every time I move the mouse the display moves from side o side to accommodate. It really stinks, since I can't see what is on the eft side of the screen when I have the scroll bar visible. Help!!!!!

Try "applealt(option)minus(-)" until the screen is back to normal...

  • Screen moves with cursor

    My daughter has a g4 and just the other day for no apparent reason, the desktop seems to be about 10-15% too big for the screen. when you move the cursor, the screen/display moves around as the cursor moves. As you aproach the edge of the screen with the cursor, the desktop picture actually moves in the opposite direction to give access all the way to the edge. it's kind of strange.... I have tried to adjust any settings that I could find. It is set at the highest resolution. Lower res just makes things bigger and fatter.....
    help!

  • Screen Moves and Cursor Jumps

    I have searched all day for answers and tried about everything, to little avail.
    I bought a new MacBook Pro the day when Lion was released and then upgraded to Lion a few days later, and updated with 10.7.1. This morning my screen started to jump from one desktop (space) to the oher, so I deleted all but my main space. Then it kept trying to switch screens again, but could not (sometimes it jumped from main screen to the Launchpad or Mission Control. My mouse also started to jump all over the screen.  I tried many recommendations I found online and the screen jumping has now slowed down. The mouse is still very erratic, and often jumps from one side to the other.
    1. I have turned off all the hotspots
    2. Ran "Verify disk-permissions" and "Verify disk". No problems - no need to repair.
    3. Tried different mouse connections USB and Bluetooth and cleaned the mice.
    4. Turned on and off ten times.
    5. A few other techniques which I don't recall now.
    What to do? This is driving me nuts so I am now using my PC with Windows. How sad!

  • Not being able to hear application audio on quicktime screen recording when using headset

    Can someone tell me how to still hear the computer audio (like the application sound) on while using quicktime screen recording when using headset?
    Someone help me please or tell me another application to do this with.

    hi paula
    your problem could be hardware/software. lets hope its software issue first and i'd like you to do these:
    if you have personal files on volume c, copy/backup them. shut down your computer, press one key recover button to perform clean windows installation. then check if the issue still persists.
    if you don,t want to use okr, you can use windows restore to restore your computer to previous restore points but if it's windows/virus issue, it may not help.

  • When I enter full screen for a game or video using Firefox the whole "screen" moves to the left, leaving a white space on the right side of my monitor, but the mouse still acts like the image is where it should be, why?

    I have the latest Firefix update, and I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. It's annoying, specifically for games because I have to make sure the cursor is to the right (by a certain amount) of the item I wish to click. This issue is only in Firefox, I have tried in Internet Explorer *shudder* and there is no problem, I do not have any web browsers currently installed.

    Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • How do I disable the screen from moving when I move the cursor on an ipad?

    When I move the cursor, sometimes the whole screen moves.  I need to disable this.  Suggestions?
    The zoom is already turned off under system preferences.
    Sincere thanks!

    Pogopossum & Julian Wright,
    I am using iteleport.  But regardless of the app, what I would like is that I can move my finger/cursor around the screen to select things without having scrolling (moving the entire screen up/down/left/right).  This is something the ipad does regardless of the mirroring app.
    Thank you!
    Sounds like you have zoomed in. Can you see the clock and battery at top?
    Three finder double tap drag down to zoom out.

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

    hi every one,
    I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
    So can any one help me out with this.
    EXAMPLE..
    I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE'  without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES''  will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
    THANKS & REGARDS.
    Mahanta.
    POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

    Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
    Extract :
    <i>User Actions on Screens
    There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
    Filling Input Fields
    Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.</i>
    So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.
    Regards

  • Is there a way to make the quality of quicktime player better. when I take a screen movie of a demonstration video the quality when exporting to final cut is poor???

    is there a way usinig quick time player when recording a screen movie of product demonstration better quiality?

    FCE works in standardized broadcast frame sizes and frame rates. If your screen recording is not exactly the same pixel dimensions and frame rate as the sequence you are editing in, FCE will try to force it to fit, and that forcing may distort and reduce the apparent quality of your recording.
    Have you tried to render your clips on the sequence?
    Most people that are creating tutorials, etc. use dedicated software. If you have to do this a lot, then you might want to consider software such as ScreenFlow, which consolidates screen recording, editing/manipulating of the screen recording, and re-compression of your project for delivery in one application.

  • How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

    for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

    You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
    Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
    Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
    Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
    If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

  • Why is the screen bluring when i stream a movie I rent fron itunes?

    Why is the screen bluring when i stream a movie I rent fron itunes?

    What is the year and model and screen size, amount of RAM in your iMac?
    Do you use a broadband Internet connection? Do you use WiFi on your iMac with wireless router or Airport router?
    Internet streaming data speeds are dependent on how many users are streaming data on the same network at the same periods of time as you are.

    I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

  • Safari status bar disappears.  I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.  I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser.  Any idea how the rectify this

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

  • Something I have inadvertently done has removed the menu bar, the toolbars. The screen 'rolls' down when I move the cursor to the top of the screen otherwise it is in full screen all the time.

    I was working on an email last night and must have set something on which I do not want. When I state firefox, it comes up full screen but without any menu or toolbars. Even when I move the cursor to the top of the scrren to reveal what is there, there still is no menu or toolbars showing.

    If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: command+Shift+F).
