OS X :: Floating Desktop - Entire Screen Moves With Cursor

Feb 21, 2009

My adorable cat Ari, decided to sit on the keyboard of my ibook and now I have what I can only describe as a "floating desktop"--the entire screen floats or moves with every move of the cursor. Cursor to the right, page moves left, cursor up, page down. While his entire bottom was on about half of the keyboard, he seemed to be mostly on the volume key, because I could hear the blip, blip, sound that key makes.

MacBook :: Cursor Moves Erratically And Screen Gets Bigger And Smaller Without Touching The Trackpad?

Dec 5, 2014

Just recently my cursor started moving erratically and it's difficult to click where intended.  The screen gets big and small without my touching the trackpad.  What's wrong - is it a virus or a malfunction in the trackpad?  I have an OS X 10.9.5

OS X :: Cursor Moves To Yes On Pop Up Menus

Mar 21, 2010

Every time a menu pops up asking me to choose yes or no, the mouse automatically moves to the yes like it's ready for me to click. I'm pretty sure I set it to do this a while ago, but I forgot how to change it back. It's late, I'm frustrated, and this is bothering me. A few searches didn't get me anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or how to change it back?

Software :: Entire Moniter Display Moves With Mouse?

Jul 3, 2008

I have a Mac Mini and suddenly, with no action on my part that I can tell, when I move my mouse the entire display screen moves.

It is a rather nauseating experience and is making it impossible to work on the computer. I can't find any settings to make it stop.

Does anyone know how to make it stop? I'm using a Mighty Mouse - I've tried switching to a USB mouse - but it still has the same effect.

OS X :: Trackpad Moves Cursor But Cannot Click

Aug 18, 2009

I have been trying to do some research on this, but it seems so specific, and all the trackpad stuff is about the ones on the new macbook line. I have a MacBook that I got towards the end of 2006. Here is a link to the tech specs. I have the 2.0Ghz one.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP23

As soon as I turn on my computer, if I use the built in trackpad and mouse, I can move the cursor around, and the keyboard still works, but if I try to click anything by either tapping the trackpad or hitting the buttons, it won't click. However, if I shut the computer down and plug in a USB mouse and then restart the computer, the USB mouse works. If I even slightly brush the trackpad or hit the mouse button on the computer, the USB mouse will stop working and I have to restart again.

MacBook Pro :: My Trackpad's Cursor Moves On Its Own

Apr 13, 2012

My trackpad shows no visible change, however my cursur moves on its own, clicks on things, drags icons, and at other times refuses to move. Sometimes for a moment it will work, but then it is back again.  I highly suspect malware. My computer worked fine, there is no sign of hardware damage and I reset my Pram.

OS X :: Cursor Moves Automatically To Install Button

Aug 31, 2009

When I try to run an app which requires Rosetta, the install Rosetta dialog box appears which is fine. However, the cursor automatically actually moves to the dialog box and positions itself right above the Install button. It doesn't actually click it but it kinda freaked me out to see it happen.

OS X :: Static Background Of Normal Size And Cursor Cannot Moves To An Icon?

Jan 24, 2010

Not familiar with the mac at all, as this post will demonstrate On the desktop, the background is now expanded and when you move the cursor, it navigates by an annoying combination moving the cursor and moving the background until an icon is under the arrow. I screwed around with the display and some other preferences, but i cant figure out which setting I need to modify to get it back to a static background (of normal size) and a cursor that moves to an icon.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Get Widgets Floating On Screen

Mar 22, 2012

Prior to Lion, if I clicked on my Dashboard, my widgets would all appear "floating" on the desktop. Post-Lion, if I click on Dashboard, my widgets appear on a separate screen with a blank background. Is there any way to get the widgets back to "floating" on the desktop. (I'm sure floating is not the technical term.) I don't have a ton of widgets -- just the basics. I need the calculator widget to appear on the desktop so I can use it when looking at a spreadsheet. (It's not an urgent issue, except that I am working on my taxes -- and it would make life easier.) I am very new to Lion, installed only a couple weeks ago. Running Lion 10.7.3

Software :: G4 Blue Screen With Floating Yellow Satellite

Sep 18, 2010

A friend of mine, who's new to apple computers, is using an old powerbook g4 (15" inch) running OS 10.4.9. Everything was normal (except for the screen which is screwed up in the bottom half. But suddenly now as soon as it boots up, it doesn't show the apple logo, but shows a blue screen with a yellow satellite kinda looking graphic, floating around. I can hold the shift button and boot into safe-mode, but I have no clue of what to do, as I don't know what went wrong.

MacBook Pro :: Add Entire Contents Of Desktop HD?

Nov 27, 2009

I have been meaning to put windows onto my MBP for some time now but I have never used bootcamp and know nothing about it. Well the windows desktop that I bought for my mom two years ago died and she already bought a new one. Well I took the hard drive out of it and I was wondering if I could use the windows that is on that hard drive to make a partion on my MBP? Is that even possible? Am I even making sense?

PowerPC :: Screen Locks Up But Mouse Still Moves?

Sep 10, 2010

This is sort of a double post, but since this problem is way down in the original thread and pretty much a different problem (with no replies) I figured it might be worth a new post.

So...

On this 1.25ghz Tiger emac we picked up, the OS loads, and everything seems to work for a minute of so, but then the mouse stops working.

Actually the pointer still works, but I can't click anything, almost like the desktop is frozen. This does have a swollen capacitor, so I'm, not sure if that's the problem or if I just need to reload to OS.

PowerPC :: IBook Screen Moves With Mouse - OS 5.2?

May 17, 2008

I have a G4 iBook with a 1.07 MHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 60GB HD running Leopard OS X 5.2.

It has been running like a charm, and suddenly, the screen image starts moveing with the mouse - the desktop, all open windows, websites, everything.

You can drag it to one side or the other, and still open and close applications, use them, use the web, send and received emails - everything, but the screen moves around with the mouse, and it is driving me crazy!

I have tried resetting all the settings - Power, Display, Appearance, etc.

I have reinstalled OS X 5.2

I have run Disk Warrior and got some errors:
"User differs on "Applications/ical.app/Contents/MacOS, should be 0, user is 502", and then several similar error messages regarding "Resources", always with "should be 0, user is 502"

In Macintosh HD/Users/oBookg4/Library/Preferences/ , Disk Warrior detected that "the Property List data is damaged and cannot be repaired"
"XML parser error:
Unexpected character at line 1"

Mac Pro :: Whole Screen Flicker For Split Second / Multicolored Snow Covering Entire Screen

Oct 14, 2009

I am using the pair with an early 2008 Mac Pro octo 2.8. Previous card was a 8800 GT, and previous monitor was a dell 2405WFP. No issue there (other than the 8800's fan noise).With the new setup, I occasionally get a whole screen flicker for a split second, and just now when I woke the display from sleep I got multicolored snow covering the entire screen, like this:

http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink
(iphone photo, all I had handy)

Has anyone seen this with either the EVGA card pushing some other dual-link 30" display, or the 3007wfp-hc driven by some other card? I don't really have an easy way to test this myself, as it is pretty intermittent the two arrived around the same time, so I'm not sure which is the cause, but I haven't seen any problems like that in XP so I'm leaning towards the card (drivers, perhaps). I don't spend much time in XP, though, so I'm still not sure.

MacBook Pro :: Mouse On Randomly Moves From Center Of Screen To Bottom?

Sep 29, 2009

So I love my 1 1/2 month old 13inch MBP.

The thing is that recently at random times throughout my day when I'm, using my Mac...my finger will be on the glass trackpad and i'll be doing something like say surfing the web or using w/e application...Well, randomly the mouse on the screen will disappear from its current location, say for example on Firefox's toolbar, immediately to the bottom of the screen. It's never the top of the screen, or the sides since it normally just causes the dock to rise up...

I'm really concerned to see what's going on here. I rarely had this problem with my old Whitebook, though admittedely did happen a few times.

Perhaps a water spill/damage? Though consider to have been very careful with my new Mac. I'm sure the glass trackpad on these new Macbook Pro's has water damage sensors right? Anyway I can see it/observe it myself.

I used to love taking apart my old whitebook but these new MBP's seem impossible; that or i'm just too scared since I do love how the machine was built.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can't See The Cursor On The Log On Screen?

Apr 16, 2012

I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with an anti glare screen.  I am running Lion 10.7.3. It is being used in bright sunlight in southern greece very sucessfully apart from the fact I cant see the cursor on the logon screen to select the user I want to log in as. Setting the cursor to a larger size using the universal access options works really well once I have logged in but at the moment I have to dash for the nearest shade to be able to see the screen to log in.
