Weird colors, mouse moves whole screen... what?

my niece got on my mac and started hitting buttons. before i could stop her she did something that i've, so far, not been able to un-do. all of the colors are different, almost inverted-like. the icons seems a little bit bigger, and when i move my mouse, the whole screen shifts with it since everything is too big now to fit on my monitor. what did she do and how do i get it back to normal?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, and turn off both the Zoom and White on Black options.

    It looks like zoom is turned on. To turn it off, open System Preferences > Universal Access, and turn Zoom off

  • Capture border, mouse movements and screen area showing incorrectly

    I'm using Captivate4 on Win7 Pro 32bit to record a web demonstration on IE8. Setting the capture area only records a portion of the selected area, and portions outside (and including) the red boundary line. Mouse movements and clicks are also off. I've disabled hardware acceleration and tried a few different screen resolutions.
    This occurs in every recording mode and in every capture arrangement - application, predefined, or custom size. Full screen recording captures the correct area, but the slides are very large and cursor actions are still off. The border disappears when Hide is checked, but the area captured is still completely different from the area selected.
    I've included screenshots of both the capture area selected and the actual area recorded.
    If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it - thanks in advance!
    Area selected for recording:
    Area captured during recording - cursor out of place, overlap on the left, missing area on right and bottom:

    Change your computer screen resolution to match what you set in Captivate, and you will capture everything.
    I had to change mine from 1920x1080 (on a 13" laptop) to 1280x720 which is the maximum in Captivate. As soon as I did that, the entire screen was captured as intended.

  • Simple back and forth mouse movement changes screen to open tabs

    Current version.
    Intermittent problem always either this issue or works fine from initiating ff.
    Several tabs are open. Simple left right movement of mouse suddenly replaces current page with previous and then the next previous.
    I wonder if it is malware but have performed a full malware scan, no issues.
    The mouse is a Logitech Expert wireless mouse.
    Thank you

    You do have the Logitech SetPoint extension installed. I wonder whether it recognizes certain gestures as cues to go back/forward in history, or to switch among open tabs, etc.
    You can check whether it has any relevant settings on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, check whether the Logitech SetPoint extension has an Options button.

  • Mouse moves both cursor AND screen

    This is something new, and it just started a few minutes ago for no reason that I can see. It's simply that when I move my mouse, the whole screen moves. The cursor moves as it should, but the screen moves in the opposite direction from the cursor. I can still manage to operate the computer, but it is much more difficult to do so.

  • On my Cinema Display the screen is blurry and shifts with mouse movement.

    I have had this screen for a year and a half and only use it once a week in my remote office. This morning I noticed blurring on the screen and the whole screen shifts up/down, left/right with mouse movement. Please help. I am getting a headache.
    Thanks In Advance,

    Press Command-Option-8 once or twice.
    You have Zoom on. It is controlled in "Seeing" in "Universal Access" system preference, and by Control-Scrollwheel.

    hiskebdb,
    If it happens when moving an object/text, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,

    or by the Adobe Color extension, see this post #2 byhexxstatic with the solution,

  • When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black

    When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black  and reappears when I go to another tool??? 

    Hi 25Z4P,
    Could you please take a screenshot of the problem you're encountering. I'm sure it is a black screen like you're describing, but it would be helpful to assess what is happening.
    Thank you.

  • Opening mov files - weird color patterns + freeze

    Hi,
    Suddenly when opening mov files, quicktime shows weird colors instead of a video. It also takes a long time to open, and quicktime then hangs. I don't know what I installed that could have caused the problem. I tried reinstalling but that doesn't help.
    I use vegas as video editor, and there I can still import quicktime movies without problems.
    It used to work before on my xp64pro!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    wouter

    it might be worth checking to see if you can just get away with disabling Direct3D accleration on the PC. it's also probably worth checking your video drivers too.
    the following document has some nice pointers in those regards. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting techniques apply.)

  • Whole screen is dragging with the mouse

    I have a 23" cinema display - whenever I drag the mouse the whole display moves with it, not as the actual monitor, but the desktop on the screen - the menu bar and everything moves off if I move the mouse up and the menu bar moves down if I move the mouse down !
    It looks a little lacking in sharpness
    I have restarted / run tech tool pro etc to no avail - running the latest version of 10.4 with a G5
    and have been to the displays in system preferences and all is set as it should be, I believe.
    Is there a file that could have been corrupted ? Any help appreciated.....

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, and turn off Zoom.

    OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.
