  • Magic Mouse too Sensitive Under Mavericks

    Sensitivity is an issue with all Apps under Mavericks.  The slightest touch is detected as a swipe or scroll.   I can't find any preference to adjust this.  Any suggestions?
    The sensitivity was fine under Mountain Lion.

    I am finding it increasingly frustrating to work in Mavericks and one of the issues is this magic mouse touch sensitivity!
    I am a graphic designer and I do a lot of layout work with the mouse. When I am fine tuning layouts and dragging and dropping in Adobe Illustrator I find a LOT of issues where things are sliding around left/right and up/down at the slightly twitch of my finger. This is not pinned to this specific application though. I find the same experience across all applications where I have to drag, drop, and place things on a screen as well as with regular scrolling where there is some "wiggle" in a window when trying to scroll up and down. For instance, on Chrome the screen regularly moves a little left to right just when my finger is sitting on the mouse not really moving. It's noticable on Chrome because it has the "bounce" effect when you scroll past the boundaries of the website you are view
    This is extremly frustrating!
    This is not related to the tracking or the scrolling speed. It is something different entirely.

  • How to remove duplicate POP messages in Mail under Mavericks

    Hello
    I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
    My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep ALL my mail (even the trash) so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails in around 250 subfolders. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
    A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. I left it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it...
    The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then planned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
    The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. I also rebuilt all the folders again, which doesn't seem to have resulted in any further loss of messages as far as I can tell. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
    1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
    2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
    So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size, because of the 'hidden' messages), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some corrupted email somewhere, which probably caused the original email haemorrhage, and may still be causing the inability to remove duplicates. Mail is so slow as to be almost unuseable.
    I figure I have a number of options:
    1. I could live with the situation and just archive most of the Mail in my inbox, with the side effect that there will be a bunch of messages I have never replied to that are missed.
    2. I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of Mail I was using a week ago, and then redownload the recent emails from my various accounts. That would still leave me without those thousands of emails I lost on my local machine.
    3. I could find another way to deal with this. Can I get the remove duplicates script working? Should I revert to the version of Mail from a week ago, download ALL the messages again, but do it in a way that allows me to find the duplicates and remove them? Should I move to another email program altogether (which would presumably be massively disruptive to my work!)
    Anyway, apologies for the essay length of this request, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!

    hi Eric
    thanks for the tip, but I don't think that solves my problem, which is that Mail apparently hides the duplicates, so they're still there, you just can't differentiate or remove them. I actually *need* the duplicates there so I know I've got everything, but then I need to be able to move the ones I know I've dealt with from my inbox to an archive/trash, and/or remove them completely so Mail isn't totally bloated

  • How to find out what is under the mouse pointer in a StyledDocument

    Hi all!
    I have a DefaultStyledDocument in a JTextPane.
    styles = new StyleContext();
    doc = new DefaultStyledDocument(styles);
    JTextPane p = new JTextPane(doc);
    i than add a view strings to the document using insertString, some of them using a style with an icon.
    The question now is: can i somehow determine which icon ( or at least which object, inserted by insertString ) is under current mouse position, without setting the caret to this location? or can i trigger an event when the user clicks on such an icon?
    thanks in advance for your help

    Use this method :
    public int viewToModel(Point pt)
    and take a look at my answer in this Thread. I think it can give you an idea :

  • When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.  Is this a bug in Mavericks?

    When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. 
    This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks).  So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports).  So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks?  Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format.  Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
    Thanks guys,

    I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs. 
    I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
    I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

  • How do you print comments in pages under mavericks?

    How do you print comments in pages under mavericks? Earlier if show comments was checked, all the comments were visible and could be easily printed. Now only those comments are visible on which the cursor is pointed but even those do not get printed! 

    Thanks to all for to the 'older Pages' suggestion. I don't have the last Pages on my mac anymore (although this is probably just me being really, really dumb), but the suggestion inspired me to try another very similar work around - which was also successful. Just in case anyone's in the same situation as me, am sharing it here!
    For absurd reasons I won't bother to explain, I've also got a version of Word for Mac. I prefer writing on Pages, though, so all my documents (and their comments...) are Pages files. In the really unlikely event that you've also ended up with both Pages and Word (I know...) just export to a .docx file, open it with Word, and print from there. It retains all comments, track chages, etc. This seems really obvious, but I hadn't thought of it...
    This can also be a work around for the lack of 'Compare Documents' and/or 'Merge Documents'.
    Of course this would all be much better if it were actually just in Pages...I hope this helps, and thanks!

  • Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

    Hello All
    Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
    The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
    I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
    Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
    Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
    name?
    thanks
    Pawel

    Hi Pawel,
    I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

  • Printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks

    Anyone experienced problems printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks OS X 10.9 ?
    According to Epson I have the latest drivers installed for the 7900, V9.04
    I have 2 MACS - a MacBookPro running under Mountain Lion and I've updated my MacBook Air to run 10.9.
    No problems printing the same file from the MacBookPro.
    On the MacAir, I certainly see the printer; can send a file to it - but it prints and is terribly garbled.  I see supply levels on the MacAir too.
    But the interaction with the Driver is strange - it keeps reverting back to my HP 2100, Updating the settings in the printing Presets doesn't stick, etc.
    the print is an almost total mess - it's the right size and you can see the image and some parts are fine - but the rest of it looks like it's done with drastic motion blur (so that looks like the driver is scrambling something).
    If nobody else has seen this, then I will start by deleting the driver; re-installing it all and so forth - but just interested to see if anybody else out there has had trouble with it.

  • Multi-display windows under Mavericks

    Under 10.6.8, it has been my habit (and pleasure) to open very wide terminal windows across as many as three displays in order to see the results of somewhat wide database queries without text wrapping, which affects readability and cuts the number of lines visible on the display window at once.
    Under 10.9.3, when I adjust a window over towards another display so that the window would be on both displays, the window is "ghosted" until I let go of the drag bar, and if the move has not fully adjusted the window to land entirely on the display it is moving into, that half of the window promptly disappears.
    Am I missing something about window positioning under Mavericks? Or, is there any way to regain the previous, multi-display-friendly window handling in Mavericks?

  • Series of 8 characters appearing under my mouse pointer

    i have a mac... mid 2007. no problems with it ever in the last 7 years. today...about 2 hours ago...i started to see a weird series of 8 strange unidentifiable characters appearing under my mouse pointer on my screen... it just moves right along trailing my pointer around. does anyone know what this is...and how to get rid of this annoying pain in the butt. i checked thru my mac downloads looking for any weird downloads...but i see nothing out of ordinary...and i am normally pretty cautious about links and weird ads online and i never click on them. my mac had 500 gig hard drive...and i still have 400 remaining after 7 years. anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this problem. i thought it was the mouse batteries or the mouse itself so i swapped around with another... but its not the mouse. please help. thanks.

  • Main display blank after sleep under Mavericks

    I use a NEC Multisync LCD 2690 as my main display, and a small Hansol H550 as a secondary one; when waking up from sleep, the NEC is blank and everything is crammed up on the Hansol. Under Lion, I could go to the System Preferences, choose Monitors and Detect Monitors to force the displays to correct themselves but this feature is absent under Mavericks; any idea how I could correct this without having to perform a complete restart each time the Mac Pro goes to sleep?

    Found the so-called missing feature: in System Preferences, choose Monitors and hold down the Option key to get the Dectect Monitors button. Still, loosing the main display after sleep is a BIG bug...
    P.S. I’m working with a French system, the naming of the features might be slightly off.

  • Problems to print contacts with specific fields under Maverick.

    I am unable to print contacts with specific, selected fields like `firm´ or `position´under Mavericks. The selected fields will not show up in the printing preview and not be printed at all. Any ideas?

    Thanks, John! It seems you guessed correct, partly at least. I turned some of the problamatic fields off and on again an these are showing up now and I can print them. Great!
    However, I can see the field "firma" (German = company in English) in the previewed sample card but not in the pull down menu "Add Field". That means, I am unable to turn it off/on. The intersting thing: The field is visible and selectable even in the printer dialog were you can select the fields you would like to print but it remains unprintable.
    Again, many thanks, John! 

  • IPhoto under Mavericks

    Got major problem.  Can't order previosly published projects under Mavericks.  Nothing else has changed so it looks like a software problem.  Anyone with any ideas?

    Created a number of books in iPhoto and ordered them from Apple store via the software link.  No problems except now that I have upgraded to Mavericks, I can't reorder the books since I keep getting a message at the end of the uploading to the Apple store which says "An error occurred uploading your Order" and asks if I wish to cancel order or retry.  I have retried a number of times but to no avail.  I have tried ordering from my MacAir instead of my iMac but still not luck.  I have restared with the shift held down to move to safe startup but still no luck. I have reinstalled iPhoto but still no luck.  It would be great if the Apple store could just reprint my books since nothing has changed and I just need more copies but this doesn't seem to be an option.

  • Intel Fortran compiler broken under Mavericks

    After upgrading to OS 9 on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, and installing Xcode 5.0.1 on both, my Intel Fortran compiler (vs 12.0.5) no longer works.  I have updated the command line tools.  When I try compiling a source file it fails with the message:
    ifort: error #10001: could not find directory in which g++ resides
    There is a compiler option to specify the location of g++ "-gxx-name=" but this doesn't help - same error message.  I'm not sure if I need to set a system variable or if I need to go back to an earlier version of Xcode.  Has anyone managed to get their Intel Fortran compiler working under Mavericks?

    I haven't found this topic in the other Categories, so I'll reply here:
    I'm having the same problem!!! Leopard has crashed ifort 32 bits! So I can't run my programs on my macbook core duo (32 bits), although it's ok with the ifort 64 bits version. But I really REALLY need the 32 version working on Leopard. Anyone has any clue about how to solve it? I've tried some 9.1 ifort's versions and the new 10.1 version. You can find evaluation versions on the intel's site.
    Please someone help us.

  • Mac Book Air 13 (october 2013) under Maverick /Flash Player 11 not active after installation

    I live in France and installed Flash Player 11 (last update) on my brand new Book Air.  Several times. Installation apparently succeeds, but it seems that nothing is effectively installed (I checked on the Adobe help site which confirms that). Indeed, I have nothing active and cant't hear audios, read graphics.... on web sites. I have messages saying " module manquant" (missing plug).
    I have checked Safari which correctly admits java and other plugs (security).
    Would my Book air be too weak for Flash Player (I have Intel 1,3 Mgz Core I5 processor). Would an older version of Player then help under Maverick ?
    Thank you !
