Trackpad keeps "bouncing" the mouse pointer when I tap to select (MacBook Pro, 15" Retina, 2014)

Hi, I got a brand new 15" MacBook Pro a week or so back and had problems with the trackpad - when I tap to select an item the mouse pointer "bounces" off the item I'm trying to select. It happens randomly - not every time. Very irritating. Supplier got me a replacement machine, and it's doing the same thing! Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I migrated all my data and settings from my old Mac Pro (2011 model, also running Mavericks) via Time Machine - could that have an impact? Not using any non-Apple power supplies or other devices. Any input would be welcomed.

Migrating user from one machine to another should not be a cause of your symptoms.
Curious two machines in a row. Did this happen before you transferred data/ or di you check.
You have 14 days to return/exchange if you are not satisfied.
You could Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 but I don't see it.
Did you try making adjustments to trackpad settings

Photoshop CS4 is not tracking the mouse pointer when using various tools.

We have windows 7 Pro 32 bit using adobe CS4.
Core i5 and core i7 processor
4GB installed RAM
ATI 1GB 4570 Graphics card.
Also on various other hardware spec the same error.
The tool brush, pen or erase etc is not following the mouse pointer smoothly. There is a delay and if you attempt to draw quickly e.g a circle you instead get a jagged linepolygon shape. The writing is trailing the pointer by less than one second.
We have tried installing on a pc with no other software to test if there is a conflict and get the same error.
Can anyone advise what the resolution is.
Thanks

When I click on an action, nothing happens unless I keep moving the mouse pointer. This has only happened since I upgraded to version 6. Interestingly, the some situation is with the "SafeCentral" software.

This happens every time I click on a button or text that does something like, after entering some information then clicking on say, a button to "Continue". The screen freezes and the little symbol on the left hand side of the tab stops rotating, but starts as soon as I move the mouse. If I stop moving the mouse the screen freezes again. I also have installed on my computer the application, '''SafeCentral''', which I know uses Firefox. This problem has only been encountered since I updated to version 6 and also when SafeCentral update the Firefox version they use.
Wired or what!
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Michael Murray

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I think you have identified the problem straight away, well done!
I first encountered the problem a couple of months ago with an update on Safe Central, (protected environment) software. SC uses the Firefox browser. I won't insult you by explaining what the program does, I'm sure know better that I. I didn't have this problem with Version 5 of Firefox, so I conclude the easiest way to solve this issue would be for me to uninstall v. 6 and reinstall V. 5. As I only use SC for online shopping I can live with this miner irritation. I also notice the Trend Micro Toolbar, though it appears on the Firefox screen, does not monitor the web sites or check email addresses.
So the TM boffins also have a problem with V.6, but I wager they aren't aware of it yet. Just in closing, I also use Chrome and Internet Explorer that work perfectly well. The problem defiantly lies with Mozilla.
Kind regards
Michael

How can I shut off the automatic login when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

Ever since I updated to Yosemite I have been forced to enter my password whenever I turn on my MacBook Pro. I went to System Preferences/Users & Groups and see that the automatic login option is set to off, but it is shaded and I can't use the dropdown menu, even though I've unlocked it.
Is this a common issue? Am I just going to have to get used to signing in every time? I'm the only one who uses it, and it's a little annoying.
I've tried searching for help in the discussions and also on google, but I'm not finding any answers.
Help, please!

Did you turn on FileVault when you upgraded to Yosemite? If it is on then a login password is required (sort of obviously). You can tell whether it is on by going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click FileVault at the top and see if the words "Turn off FileVault" are in the button. I'm the only one who uses my Mac also, but the remote possibility of it being stolen makes it worth it to me to have FileVault turned on and a password required.

I am trying to find the best all in one printer for my macbook pro with retina display. Any ideas?

I need something that doesn't require a disk for setup.

Based upon your criteria an HP 100 Envy all in one would fit. The drivers are downloaded from Apple.

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

Hello alexandrefromfrance
Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.

If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

May macbook pro with retina display now tells me 6 hours remaining when 100% charged, when i first bought it it used to tell me 8 hours left.. help?

when i first bought my macbook pro with retina it used to tell me 8 hours left when it was 100% charged, now it tells me 6 hours left.. help?

This is a Fault of the newer Mac's Power management scheme. There is a LONG Thread on it somewhere on this forum.
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then let it up. Then wait a few seconds and press it again. The system should start back up. If it doesn't then you have some type of hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple to be fixed or replaced.

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.

Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

Hi,
Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

I would suggest a new feature:The possibilty to change the mouse pointer icon when you hover on an active link by any other one icon I select.

Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

Is there a way to keep the mouse pointer in my window

I would like to change the cursor so that it can not go outside my application window until they exit the program. Is this possible?

Just because you disagree with its usage does not make
it an invalid question. Suppose you had an
application dedicated to real-time monitoring of a
high-pressure system. In our hypothetical example,
accessing other parts of the system without first
properly "dismissing" the application could be
potentially hazardous - people could get hurt. In
this case, would it not make sense to make the
application "system-modal"? Furthermore, it would be
a convenience to the operator if the mouse pointer
were trapped in this critical application.
How would one go about trapping the mouse cursor
inside this application?Yes, it would make sense to make this application system-modal. And it would also make sense to not allow any other applications to run on the monitoring system. For such an application, then, it would occupy the entire screen and there would be no way to swap away from it to any other application. Which is what several people suggested for this rather non-critical application, I believe.
But in the ordinary case, where you are running on a system that does allow multiple applications to run, trapping the mouse cursor in a single application is bad manners and an alternate solution should be sought.
