What causes my synaptics mouse to become uncontrollable in Photoshop elements?

What causes my synaptics mouse to become uncontrollable and keep scrolling in Photoshop elements?

This appears to have been due to a bad video card.

Hello every one. Please let me know what is the best mouse to use in a Photoshop? Thank you very much. Alex.

My ArtZ II is on a Win2K supplemental computer. I think that the main reason that I keep it around is the 12 x 12 ArtZ II.
Next workstation will probably force that comupter into a closet and my beloved ArtZ II will probably go with it...
Even on my laptop out on the patio, if I have to do almost anything in PS, or Painter, I'll go grab my Intuos 2 and hook it up, even though it's a 9 x 12 and a bit big for the patio table (works fine on my various desktop situations though). I cannot be without my tablets, though I am not a fan of the Wacom mice that I have tried (2 still in the box). Best mouse is my Logitec cordless (hated its keyboard and got rid of it in a second), which has nice weight, the right feel for my hand and is just great. Still, I only use it for the duties that the Wacom is not the best at. If I open up PS, or Painter, the mouse sits idle.
Good luck to the OP,

What causes a slow mouse/cursor response on a fast machine?

I have a system that has always displayed poor cursor redraw performance with certain adobe applications. All rendering and other effects are fast, but basic mouse selections and button knobs are extremely unresponsive. I have searched and searched and can not seem to find out what causes the mouse cursor speed issues. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would slow for such basic Interface interactions? Do I need to change my hardware, settings, displays, BIOS, etc?
Any insight into what the mouse redraw/refresh is called in terms of computing would help me search for a solution. And if you have a solution as to why my mouse cursor acts drunk and sluggish when interacting with the Adobe UI's in premiere and after effects and sometimes Photoshop I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank You. I attached a screen shot of a very basic selection interaction that is dog slow. The selection box redraws like there is a lag in some process associated with the square box overlay.

Your answer is in this part of your specs:
> (driving two 30 inch dell monitors)
It takes a long time to draw and redraw the pixels to the screen(s) with such large monitors.
We can mitigate this by making some changes in how our UI is drawn to the screen, and such changes are a rather high priority for use to work on for the near future.

HT4463 I am trying to open photoshop elements but it is telling me a need an app to do so. What do I need in order to open the photoshop elements 11 that I have purchased and downloaded on my laptop?

I am trying to open photoshop elements 11 which I purchased and downloaded but it is telling me I need an app to do so. What do I need in order to open photoshop elelements 11 and where to I find it?

From where did you purchase Elements? If you didn't get it from the Mac App Store, from where did you get it and what is the file format, or just the full name of the file?

Why are my photos on recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, shown as touching their neighbours both above, below and at sides, and in effect have become a wall of photos! What has gone wrong?

I have recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade to PSE 8 which I have run for a year or two. Whenever I add photos to PSE 13, they appear as normal except that there is no space around each individual entry and all photos are crammed together and appear as a wall of photos. Why is this? What has gone wrong?

Moving the discussion to Photoshop Elements forum.
Thanks,

Backup.tly in photoshop elements 10? what is it?

What is the backup.tly file for in Photoshop Elements 10? I recently switched to a new computer and tried to resotre (what I thought were) my back up files for photoshop elements, but it did not restore correctly causing me a ton of work. I had been using "backup.tly" to "incremental" backup faithfully about every week for over one year, but when it came time to utilize my back up files (because I switched to a new computer) they wouldn't restore corrctly.

Anatomy of a PSE backup:
- It's a folder with the name of the catalog
- It contains renamed copies of all of your picture files (to avoid problems with duplicates). They are named B000..... plus the original suffix : jpeg, tiff, mov, mp3, xmp... Those files are the backup of your media files -- the catalog itself is a database file : catalog.pse10db, which is copied and renamed catalog.buc in the backup folder.
- It also contains the backup.tly file you have noticed : it's a file containing the cross reference between the real and full path original media file, and the renamed versions in the backup. PSE recognizes this file to undertake the restore process.
What about incremental backups ? They are identical in structure, which means you must create a new folder for each backup, whether full or incremental. How does this work? Practically in the restore process, you point first to the last (most recent) incremental backup (which contains an up to date copy of your present catalog), then you have to follow the on screen instruction to point to each incremental backup folder so that the files are correctly restored.
I suspect your problem is that your incremental backups were not done on a new folder each time.
When you want to move computers, you have to use a full backup.

What is the cause for the mac to become slow

what is the cause for the mac to become slow?

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

SQL Causes server to swap and become unresponsive, What is it doing?

SQL Causes server to swap and become unresponsive does it have the same effect with other users??
WARNING - script causes my servers to not respond, requiring reboot after 30 mins
Only run on a server/vm where a bounce is ok
The script creates a table
Runs an anonymous block to put 160mb in a single clob
Runs a simple select with some REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_SUBSTR
This has been raised with Oracle support.
Their conclusion is lots of single block reads are causing the server to hang.
I do not think this is the reason and would like someone else to run it, to see what they think!

Hit CTRL+C to cancel, ENTER to continue...HANG!
Now I am lost!!
As Iggy points out from the strace, the OS is returning an error back to the Oracle foreground process, is this not handled?
Or is it normal for oracle to ignore this error, and ask for more memory?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Elements 13 - top menu causes mouse to become erratic

when clicking on a top menu item (ie file or edit or image, etc.) the mouse pointer becomes erratic until the menu is closed. It is so bad as to be unusable. This only happens with Elements 13. Any suggestions?

HI,
It would be helpful if you could provide us with the following information:
1. Which OS are you working on?
2. Are you using wireless of wired mouse?
3. Please try clearing preferences of PSE13 editor (keep pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift while launching editor) and see if the issue still exists.
Thanks,

What causes a macbook pro to suddenly become slow?

I have only had my macbook pro for a year. Well recently it suddenly became very slow to the point where every few seconds the spinning beach ball looking thing came up (loading icon)... and it would stay there for a good 15 seconds then go away for like 5 seconds... what causes this?!?!?! and what can fix it??!?!
HELP!!!!! It also has 350gb left of hard drive space and 2gb of ram... whats the issue

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

What caused the iBook problem?

I'm writing this for my wife, as she's unable to use her iBook for more than a few minutes before it locks up.
I'm serving in the military overseas. My wife and I both use Apple products to chat, email, etc. When I spoke to her yesterday, she was frantic. Her iBook G4 apparently started making a strange noise and then stopped working altogether.
I asked her what she had tried, and she explained that she spent over an hour on the phone with Apple support (I knew AppleCare might come in handy). The first support person she spoke with was, for lack of a better term, an idiot. This was confirmed by the third support person she spoke with. I'll explain later.
The problem was that when she tapped her spacebar to wake up the computer, it didn't wake up completely. She got a grey screen, Apple logo, and that was it. I told her to be patient, that maybe it was reseting after an update (that was before I knew about the 10.4.6 update being available).
Her computer auto-updates every Monday.
I had her turn off the computer by holding down the power button. I then had her disconnect the power cord and remove the battery. I did this on a hunch (just in case the computer had a heat problem). She reconnected the power cord, pressed the power button, and it was back up and running - for about 5 minutes.
Then the computer began making a not-so-funny noise again, and the spinning-beach-ball-of-death reared it's ugly head and wouldn't go away.
The first support person had her use the install/boot disk that came with the computer. That was Panther. We're using Tiger. Bad idea.
When the boot/install disk did not appear to be working, the first support person had her abort, and she was prompted with little phrases like "are you sure you want to quit, doing so now may damage your files" or something like that.
He just had her keep clicking "OK" and eventually got tired of talking to her and told her the hard drive was bad and that she was SOL.
The second support person was apparently too busy to troubleshoot any further and cut directly to "sorry, you're SOL".
The third support person was a little more helpful in that he talked her through connecting the iBook to her G5 PowerPC iMac to attempt pulling the files over to the iMac (she had already resigned herself to the fact that the iBook hard drive was on it's last leg).
She had asked the first support person about doing this and he said that if the files were corrupt on the iBook, they might corrupt the iMac, and that it was a bad idea. Not a very bright guy, considering the files would be copied to a folder, and wouldn't overwrite the iMac's system files.
She started to transfer files and the iBook froze again. She repeated the steps I had her do earlier, managed to get a CD in the the drive, copied a few folder successfully to the CD, checked the CD to see if the files were there (success!) but then the iBook died before she could get the CD out. She's working on holding down the track pad button while rebooting to see if it'll spit out the CD as I type this.
So, in addition to wanting to know how to resolve the problem, I'd like to know what caused it.
What caused so many people to have alleged hard-drive problems within a day or two of each other?
Is this Apple's first virus?
Is this the work of a disgruntled Apple employee working in the updates department?
Is this an evil Apple plot to force us to by MacBook Pro's that won't run Virtual PC?
Will running the 10.4.6 hurt or help the situation?
Why is there such inconsistency in Apple support and aren't they supposed to log their trouble-shooting steps performed thus far?
My wife has been using Mac's for over 9 years. I've only been using them for 2 years. Up until now, I've had a lot of confidence in Apple to be a solid platform, even if not the fastest platform. This experience is not inspiring me to purchase another Apple computer.

Hi Robk64,

Do you have the Tiger Install Disc?
SOL?
Her files probably won't fit on a CD; unless she has less then 700Mb.
1."Is this Apple's first virus?"
Negative
2. "Is this the work of a disgruntled Apple employee working in the updates department?"
No, I don't think so. Apple tries these out to try and avoid problems with their updates. Things happen that are not expected. They wouldn't put anything out unless they thought it was ready.
3. "Is this an evil Apple plot to force us to by MacBook Pro's that won't run Virtual PC?"
First off, look at #1 and think about what platform is notorious for virus problems (Mac has had not had any virus out breaks so far). There have been some "malware/macro" software that was meant to mess with Apple Computers. The most recent that was was over exaggerated was nothing special; MacWorld worked pretty hard to get it to effect their machine. As long as you know what you are downloading and where you are getting it from, you should have no problem.
If you want VPC to work on a MacBook Pro; don't look to Apple. You should talk to Microsoft's Mac Department because Apple announced the Universal Binary switch a long time ago (with developer help) so that software companies could make the switch easier. If anyone is to blame; its Microsoft [they are busy working out their problems with Vista; I am guessing it will be awhile before you see VPC for MBP;) ]
"Will running the 10.4.6 hurt or help the situation?"
My opinion would to just reinstall Mac OS X after backing up the hard drive. That would probably fix your problem. Once OS X is installed; update the software.
"Why is there such inconsistency in Apple support and aren't they supposed to log their trouble-shooting steps performed thus far"
Once in a while Apple's personnel may make human errors. The second one you talked to may have seen her work-up and just reiterated what was said. They have resources we don't, but they can't really go beyond them because they can't see the product, and they are just call support. You may have to send it in.
So in 9 years, you have had this one problem. We can't really tell you what is wrong with the computer because we can't see it ourselves; we can only give suggestions/ideas. Tell them her story, explaining her situation (military etc) and then see if they can help. She may want to bring it into her local Apple Store/Reseller. She can make a reservation on the website or at the store. She can get better feedback in person.
Just some of my thoughts,
Jon

Mac randomly crashes, screen turns green and white, and it works fine upon restart. What causes this and how can I fix it?

My MacBook Pro 13 inch (I've had it for about a year and a half) has started crashing randomly. It happens about once a week and it will happen when I'm in the middle of either watching a video, typing a paper, playing a game, etc. The computer clicks loudly and the screen becomes a series of green and white lines. It works fine upon restart, but it's still annoying whenever it happens. What causes this? Is it fixable?

The image suggests an issue with the graphics board.
The issue may happen more when your machine is generating additional heat, as when you're watching or processing video, or gaming. I can't say for certain, of course, but certain things will reduce the chance of the problem recurring:
1. Keep your machine as cool as possible. When there's additional heat, turn up the fan, or use an app like HD Fan Control to reduce the heat. Use your computer the way you see fit, but be conscious of heat.
2. Back up on a regular basis. Logic board problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, so backing up is a good way of safeguarding your data.
3. Look up "Logic Board Woes" on Google for a comprehensive discussion of the issue.

What causes "low" or hard to hear calls?

Well, this is a first post for landline question.
First I would like to say, I have local calls with Verizon and long distance with Att&t. We have 2 providers because well.. it was set up like that almost 20 years and we decided just to leave it as is. I think there is only 2 major providers here in the state of RI, Cox Communications and Verizon.
Comcast used to show ads here, but one year just disappared and I don't see Att advertising locally for internet service here either. I think Att became just a wireless company in this state.
The question I have is that both Incoming and outgoing calls have been a mixed bag over these past few years. The calls all do go through and we do have a dial tone. The problem is with the calls itself. Sometimes it would be to quiet so that we can't hear the other person on the other side or they can't hear us clearly. We don't get much calls nor do we really make to many calls. It is just a number for friends and relatives to contact us. Sometimes hanging up and redialing fixes the problem.
Does anyone know what causes a call to be to soft or quiet on one end? its not a huge problem and it happens only a few times I would say about 10% chance. It hasn't become a problem yet, just becomes annoying when it does happen. Especially since we don't use the phone that much.
What we tried:
1. Using different phones throughout the house during the problems and all phones seem to have the problem. Tried both cordless and wired connected phones quality remains bad so we tell them we will call them back or they should call again and that normally fixes the problem. There was one time I remember it didn't work but assumed since they were dialing from a cellphone it was just a cellphone problem on there end.
Also.. No one in the house hold owns a cellphone of any kind, so if anyone wonders why we still have a copper land line. It is because we found no use for cellphones yet.
I would also like to add this house was made in the late 1930's, there is no NID box anywhere in the house. I have tried to look for it but it does not seem to exsist. It looks like it comes from the pole direclty to the house Which leads over to the electic panel where all the circuit breakers are. Some of the wiring looks bad so I don't even bother touching it. At one point the previous owners had a alarm system on the basement windows and it even has a fire alarm on the side of the house interestingly...
For people who have experience with phone systems... Somewhere in the basement there is a ringer. When we get a phone call. The basement litterly starts rining like a phone is connected somewhere, even if no phone is connected to the basment. Does anyone know exactly what that box or what device causes rining? I probally should find a way to dial the home phone to figure out where it is coming from. That thing is loud as heck if I can find it I would disconnect it or at least find a volume to turn down the ringer.
The basement is filled with a bunch of old wiring from an old alarm system that the previous owner had installed 20+ years ago. When we moved in we saw all this disconnected wire and all these wires rerouted.

Since we haven't heard back from you on the private board we escalated this to or have received a form submission, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist.

What causes the 4002 error in iTunes?

I keep getting the unknown 4002 error, what causes this and how do I fix it?

I have received a 4001, 4002, and 4010 error numbers. I cannot find anything from Apple that describes each of them and what the difference is. And, of course, I cannot find anything from Apple Inc. that tells us how to resolve it or when they will fix it.
All I do know is iTunes Match is broken and does not work. I also know I cannot listen to my songs that are in the cloud, so what good did it do me for Apple Inc. to build server farms all over the place? None that I can tell.
I have resurrected a long-put away iPod to listen to my music because the songs are on a hard drive, not some cloud-like thing. And this I also know: I will never buy another Apple product again. They have become too big, too arrogant, too corporate-centered, and far too selfish since Steve Jobs left the company.
Good bye, Apple Inc.
