Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

  • Why does my mouse move slowly?

    Why does my mouse move slow?

    Check the setting for tracking speed. You'll find that in System Preferences > Mouse.
    Note that tracking speed has variable accelleration associated with it; it responds to the speed of the mouse movement as well as the distance. When the tracking speed is set to fast, a slow movement of the mouse will yield an approximate one-to-one response from the cursor; but if you flick the mouse quickly, the cursor will fly across thre screen.
    If you're using a non-Apple mouse, and it came with its own software, check in that control pane for a similar setting.

  • 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?

  • Why does the mouse 'run' to the lower right side of desktop and freeze when a SmartBoard is plugged into the USB port.  Running 10.8.5.   Sometimes the pointer has a cloud under it but it always freezes.

    I run SmartBoards connected to iMacs running 10.7 and 10.8 throughout my school.  On one of these computers the mouse has recently started freezing the minute a SmartBoard is plugged in to the USB port.  The mouse 'runs' to the bottom right side of the screen, a cloud often is under the pointer, and it is not longer interactive.  You can move the mouse upward a bit with the cloud following some of the time but it does not work.  Once the SmartBoard is unplugged the mouse works normally.  This particular computer worked fine with the SmartBoard until recenlty.  Any solutions or ideas?

  • Why does the mouse button let go whenever I stop moving?

    Any time that I try to drag something I run into this problem. I can start to drag, but if I ever stop moving the mouse, even if I'm still holding the button down, FCP just unclicks the mouse button automatically. Why could this possibly be?

    What are all 4 Mighty Mouse buttons mapped to? Starting with left, then right, then scroll ball button, then side buttons. I only ask because it could be possible you are activating a different button when you stop, and the mouse switches to THAT function, thereby letting go of the left click function.

  • Why does the curser move across desktop without touching the track pad?

    The curser has started to move across the screen without touching the track pad. There's no mouse connected. All networking connections are turned off. As the curser moves across the desktop, it opens new folders??? It will open as many as a dozen new folders before it stops at the left side of the screen and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired last month! Any help to figure out a fix would be appreciated.

  • Why does the mouse change the font size on my lap top?

    When browsing on my lap top, I mistakenly change the font size with the integrated mouse on the computer. This is not a problem when using the external mouse. I notice that expolorer typically has the screen size displayed in the lower right hand corner. I need to know how to avoid this problem. Thanks!

    If you press the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel then you change the page zoom.

  • Why does my mouse move, then stop, then catch up again?

    As I move my mouse, it will suddenly stop and then catch up again.
    I'm on 10.7.4 mac mini 2.3gb with 8gb ram, anda second monitor attached to the thundrbolt port.

    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts? Click on the Disk Usage tab, how much free space?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • Why does (the object "move" is currently not availible) dialoge box pop up when I run action script?

    when I run actions in CS6 it does nothing close to what Ive recorded , "move" dosnt work, "reflect" dosnt work  ,"copy" dosnt work ? and when I record simple moves it places shapes in compleately different areas then where I recorded them Ive try'd breaking the set up into the smallist possible actions ,with function keys and without . Ive try'd reconfigureing all types of presets in all sorts of combo's its driveing me nuts can anyone esplain ?!?!?

    my first command is "open" and it opens my file  my second command is copy and the first dialog box opens and states that ( the object "copy" is not currently available ) and as long as its still in the clipboard from building the action after i hit continue it pastes the two objects it said the copy wasn't currently available for ...if the clip board is loaded with other stuf two of those pop up instead, next command is rectangle tool witch seems to work but where I record it is not where it shows up when i play back its in different areas everytime time i play back ,then the next command is shapemodes "crop" function witch cropped ounce then not but left the object i was cropping in lines view instead of pixel preview and rite now it just has the rectangles i made appear with solid white and a black stroke but when i recorded my little rectangles were clear with a small black stroke they're also way off to the side on playback ,then the second dialog box pops up and tells me that the object  (?)"reflect" is also currently unavailable but it doesn't matter because they're white anyway's ..... any ways it goes on like that ,I have plenty of time between moves to let the program think.... 

  • Why does the mouse scroll no longer work in Firefox 4?

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 and suddenly my mouse scroll no longer works. It works fine for other programs and IE also Chrome, just not Firefox 4. How do I fix this? If this cannot be fixed, how can resort back to the old version?

    Spoke too soon. It worked fine for 10 minutes then died again. Closed and re-opened Firefox and it's working again. If this keeps up I will end up back with Chrome or IE. Way too inconvenient for me to stay with a browser and lose this functionality.

  • Why does the Page moves up and down slightly while loading?

    The page jumps (jerky) up and down while loading. The movement isn't great but is more than enough to lose your place while trying to read the part already loaded.'''bold text'''

  • Why does the Apple mouse drain so quickly?

    I'm not sure if this question is in the right place. I bought a iMac back in January and I've been changing the batteries like every few weeks. My question is why does the mouse drain so quickly?
    The batteries in the keyboard have been in there since I got the computer. I think I should buy a wired mouse and just plug it into the back of the iMac. I'm getting sick and tired of having to change the batteries so often.

    Hello:
    Battery drain is a function of how much the device is used (no surprise to you).  I find that my mouse batteries last less - probably because I type so slowly, I use the mouse for anything I can.
    Let me give you a suggestion based on my own experience.
    I use rechargeable batteries and a 15 minute battery charger.  I currently have a drawer full of Energizer 2450 mAh rechargeable batteries and an Energizer 15 minute charger (works for AA and AAA batteries).  Rechargeables last less time than Lithium batteries - I think the reason is different voltages (1.2 vs 1.5).  I obtained all of the batteries and the charger - new - on eBay at a very reasonable price.
    By using rechargeables, you are never without a fresh battery more than 15 minutes, and you are environmentally friendly to boot!

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

  • Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it?  It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

    Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it?  It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

    You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.
