Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved
the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3
Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Jumping mouse cursor movement with secondary monitor
Mouse cursor movement is interrrupted or jumps as soon as a secondary monitor is connected to my iMac. Either mouse movement direction is affected. Typically cursor movement stops for about a second while moving mouse further. Then suddenly cusor jumps either forward or backward.
As soon as secondary monitor is dicsonnected, cursor movement is perfeclty in synch with actual mouse movement.
I would very much appreciate any hints to solve this issue.
Thanks

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail. The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8
Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original. Hasn't shut off again.... yet. Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other. Thanks.

How can I correct Unstable, erratic mouse cursor movement
I currently have a dual boot setup with Windows 7 Pro 64 and XUbuntu 64 bit XFCE desktop. On random occasions, the mouse pointer will begin to float and or will not stay positioned on the spot selected. This occurs with or without an external mouse attached. The track pointer will not control the mouse and neither the left nor right keys just below the keyboard function. The drifting will stop sometimes when the center key at the bottom of the keyboard is pressed. The touchpad and its keys seem to work correctly. I have turned off both of these in the BIOS and have not had any problems. It seems to me that the problem may be with the keyboard. Any body have any experience with this sort of problem?
Hi
Thanks for your post
To help you further on this issue please share more details
1. erratic mouse cursor movement is happening in win 7 or ubuntu
2. please share the touchpad driver version & bios version

Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project
why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project
Hi
Seems very long time.
When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
• I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
• 10Gb - might work but slows down
• 5Gb - slow and instable
• less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.

What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?
As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD. If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over. There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process.

Why does auto brightness has a bug in iOS 7.1.1 . The brightness switches automatically to higher in bright places but not returns to lower brightness in dark places but when you lock and unlock it becomes normal
Hello,
Same problem for me. Really a pain in the *** this bug ! Does Apple fixed it. I'm really suprised noone reports this problem and apple does not adress this.
Because of that, I cannot give it anymore to children because it hurts the view. Really a shame on the part of apple !

why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.
The created program is not performing a command I have written when it tries to connect to the internet, it must be Labview that is doing it. How do I stop this from happening?
Any help would be very appreciated.It looks that way..
"When LabVIEW starts it contacts the service
locator to removes all services for itself. This request is triggering
the firewall.This is done in case there were services that were not
unregistered the last time LabVIEW executed- for example from VIs that
didn't clean up after themselves"
This is not yet fixed in LV2009.

Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.
I am also having this issue.
I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience! -

WHY DOES MY MAC BOOK PRO SHUT OFF ON ME? SO FAR THE INFO I GOT 4 IT IS A MAC OS X VERSION 10.7.3 THE PROCESSOR IS 2.4 GHZ INTEL CORE 2 DUO MEMORY IS 2 GB 667MHZ DDR2 SDRAM I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD IT IS BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED SORRY I HOPE THIS HELPS THANK YOU
Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say. It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence. I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC. If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right... please don't post in all caps! It's very irritating. -
i have an late '09 27" iMac upgraded to yosemite (I've accepted all upgrades from apple along the way). i have my alternating backgrounds & screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. so why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored? i have been to yosemite many times and do love the scenery there, but i'd like to be in charge of my screensaver. i've tried looking for the photo by name/name fragment, but of course, if apple doesn't want us to find it, we won't find it. i don't like apple preventing me from setting up background/screensaver to my liking. apple makes the computer for the rest of us.
You're welcome.
have you noticed for yourself if these photos are always mixed with one's selection via system preferences?
Actually no. What I have always done was this: I have a collection of custom desktop pictures I made a custom folder for the pictures & placed them inside the Machintosh>Library>Desktop Pictures folder.
Then I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver>Desktop, clicked on the plus sign to add my custom picture folder.
Restarted my comp.
Never had any issues by doing the above. I have always done it this way since the Tiger OS.
