Can't stay in the browser without clicking on the mouse

Sounds crazy. I'll start typing (as in this message box!) when my cursor disappears. I have to click my mouse to put the cursor in the browser (or else I care to) in order to continue.  So annoying, especially when you type a password and it is only showing asterisks, and you will have to start all over again! It happened just after the last update.  Not sure if this is the last update or if I need a new mouse.  I have the Apple wireless mouse.  I am running OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.4, iMac late 2009, with keyboard and wireless mouse.  The situation gets really annoying.  I would like to delete e-mails from 5-10 at a time by holding down the control button.  I'll have to delete one at a time now because I have selected 10, the cursor disappears, I need to reselect all over again.  I'm ready to Chuck all that and just use my MacBook Pro, but I really like my big iMac monitor!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi sharon289,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem with your iMac. It is certainly unusual. To narrow down the possible causes of this problem / clicking on the slider downwards, you can try to boot mode safe (a start more limited mode which load only essential services). You can also try to test in a new test user account and see if the problem persists there as well. You can find information and the steps in the following articles useful:

  • Can we hide/show the mouse with an Action or Script?

    Hi all

    I'm developing a simulation using boxes to click in Captivate 4, on Windows XP. If the user clicks in the right place, the slide continues and shows the user what to do. If the user clicks on the exact spot, the simulation goes directly to the next slide. The problem is, successful or not, when the user moves to the next slide, saved the mouse pointer displayed on the slide. If I hide the mouse, then it remains hidden, even if the user clicks outside the box too many times and the simulation continues to show the user what to do. It's like things on the screen just select or click on themselves.

    I know the visibility of the mouse is used differently in the timeline to other objects. This isn't a particularly big deal, as long as there is a way to control the visibility of the mouse for simulations (one of the main points of sale of Captivate). Is there a way to control the visibility of the mouse with an Action or Script?

    The current settings for my click boxes are:

    clickbox_settings.png

    I tried to assign an Action (several actions, really) to hide, display, activate or deactivate the mouse but the mouse doesn't seem to be available to do!

    action_settings_show_w_droplist_rsz.png

    Am I missing something?

    Jeff,

    No problem, looks like an argument anyway you look at it. With the idea of image of concealment, just to clarify, you shouldn't have to reframe the context if you can get out with the help of the entire background graphic. All your background images are already in the library of backgrounds folder, so if you drag and drop the background image of the library on the slide, you can instantly use it as a picture rather than just a background image object.

    Just a thought, again in the case that it helps.

  • Scroll bar can be moved by the mouse cursor. Scrolling is generally lag.

    When I updated Firefox to version 9.01, my experience of the browser is that its generally slower (current running on an HP Envy 15 ") than the previous version. I tried the Beta 10 and the same problems occur. However, if I restart Firefox in safe mode, all the problems disappear (and so do all the features like bookmarks etc.).

    I ran all the updates to my computer, that I could find including the processor, chipset and drivers mouse drivers. I'm afraid if I don't get this resolved, convert to another browser or try and reinstall an older version of Firefox.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration:

    1. At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Options
    2. Select the Advanced tab
    3. Select the general tab
    4. Uncheck use acceleration hardware sicesdonneessontdisponibles.
    5. At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox (File menu in Windows XP), and then click exit. Launch Firefox normally. .

  • Check the mouse click

    Hello!

    How can I check if the mouse has been activated anywhere in the application except 2 elements?

    I'm building a custom menu and I need to close it by clicking enywhere elsewhere in the application.

    Thank you!

    To add the listener to the System Manager in your main application:

    systemManager.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, checkForMenu);

    When user clicks the right button to display the menu and then clicks elsewhere in the application, the checkForMenu event listener will be called, and then you will need to use the systemManager numChildren property and getChildAt() method in a loop for to inspect the systemManager children and if the type of the child is the type of the component popup that displays the menu, and then close the menu.

  • The mouse cursor disappears when iTunes movie go full screen

    This isn't a question... actually I found a hack solution to this bug and I wanted to share it with other people having the same problem.

    Since the upgrade of the OS X El Capitan, I'm having a problem with my cursor disappears randomly. It is very repetitive if I start a video in iTunes with the enlarged screen and the cursor disappears. Indeed, after entering mode full-screen, iTunes mask the cursor of the mouse that is predictable. The problem is that iTunes may not reappear there again once, for example, when I go to another office for a temporary job.

    Move the mouse does nothing, escaping mode full screen does not come back. It is very annoying. Like I had never had such a frustrating experience prior to a new installation of El Capitan 10.11.3 and update iTunes to 12.3.3, I thought that this is due to the update to iTunes. So, I made another new facility of El Capitan, this time without updating iTunes. But the problem still exists. It is interesting that I had this problem on my MacBook Pro 17 "end 2011 and not with my iMac 21.5" mid-2009!

    After a little research, I found that this bug is not because of El Capitan, and happened randomly in the other years dating back to Tiger and maybe before.

    Only new change I had made in my MBP Preferences system , was in the part of accessibility, and it was related to Zoom. I had always used this feature, but I put the Zoom Style 'full-screen'. This time (after the new installation of El Capitan), I had changed to 'Picture-in-Picture'.

    I changed the Style of zoom "full screen" even once, and the problem resolved.

    If this does not work for you, can be debilitating, other options, such as 'Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom' or 'Use of scrolling with keys of change to zoom movements,' can solve the problem.

    We all know that it is a bug, and he has been there for a long time. I found that many people had reported it to Apple, but the problem persists.

    For those of you who want to use the zoom "Picture-in-Picture" style, or set the zoom style full screen does not solve the problem of their mouse disappears, I will mention a few ways to recover the mouse cursor. The following solutions are applied to a mouse cursor disappeared after entering the movie to iTunes (or any other application) full screen.

    1. Move the mouse until the switching Office brings back the cursor. Now, you can switch the desktop computer and do whatever you want. (It's easier work, at least for me).
    2. Use Alt - Tab to switch to another program; This will bring the mouse cursor.
    3. Press Ctrl + F2 to activate the Apple menu. (You can also move your cursor away to top left and click to activate the menu.)
    4. Press Ctrl + up arrow (or swipe up with 4 fingers on the touchpad) to activate the control of the Mission.

    You can also find other ways to retrieve the cursor of your mouse.

    Hope this can help you with the mouse pointer disappears.

    In MBP El Capitan the pointer of the mouse is where you assign to ' picture in picture ' or 'full screen '.

    If you miss your mouse pointer, accessibility-> display "Shake mouse to locate" check to find your mouse pointer. It should be there.

    Note: you have posted in the discussion of the Mavericks, should have used the ElCapitan discussion...

  • The mouse is out of order at startup

    It takes about two minutes to move my mouse quickly in front of my computer responds.  How can I fix?

    Hi CEHorton,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. what type of mouse you are using? Is it wireless or wired?

    Method 1

    This can sometimes happen if the mouse driver is out of date or is in need of an update.

    I would say Hat you visit download of mouse manufacturer's website and install the latest driver for the device and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    See also the Microsoft article below and try them the steps if you are using a wireless mouse.

    Troubleshoot the incidents of the response to the mouse or wireless keyboard

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/838398

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is originally from the mouse does not respond.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • The mouse starts to spin and the.

    When using my mouse, it constantly off and then turn it back on. The computer plays the little noise when something is plugged into a usb port and then again as if back in and being out.

    I've tried several different usb ports on the computer in the back and front. Curiously, it may solve the problem, but only briefly. After a day or two in a different usb port, it will start to close and turn it back on.

    I can even pick up the mouse and shake it or move it, and he'll do it too. I know its off because the sensitivity settings are on and 4 have little led lights on it which light up. These are turned off when it stops working.

    The mouse is very unpredictable, that he will work for a whole day or maybe even more without any problem. Or the exact opposite and turn on so frequently its unusable.

    I tried repeatedly to plug it into another computer to see if the problem persists, but as far as I can tell it does not persist and/or mouse "behaves" when he's in another computer.

    I looked at pilot info and tried to find another driver but have no luck. The computer and the mouse are 20 months old and has a (Dell) warranty of 2 years. But the driver info is dated (2006).

    Someone can help me or have any ideas as to what is the problem and or if my mouse is replaced under my extended warranty?

    I would contact Dell on the replacement warranty.

  • How to stop a brake if the mouse pointer leaves the scene?

    Hi all

    I have a big dot on the screen which can be moved around the mouse. I simply put an invisible button in the article with:

    {We (Press)}

    this.startDrag ();

    }

    {We (Release)}

    this.stopDrag ();

    }

    But if I move the mouse outside the stage area by dragging the element and release the mouse button release is not detected and the trail remains on and I have to get the pointer to the scene and click and hold the button to stop the operation slide.

    Is it possible to disable a brake when the mouse is released outside the bounds of the scene, perhaps using a different method that does not rely on a button?

    Any help is appreciated!

    Just change your bit of code and you will get it. I pasted the source code update have look on this

    {We (Press)}

    this.startDrag ();

    }

    {On(Release,releaseOutside)}

    this.stopDrag ();

    }

  • the button of the mouse to ebb in IE 4

    I tried searching the forums for this and got results much more 2 000. I crossed a little and decided to ask because I found nothing. I want to disable the mouse button as a shortcut for the back button in Internet Explorer 4. It's the most boring _ that I've ever seen, and not to have a way easy to disable this is stupid. I don't see anything about that in the mouse options. Does anyone know how to disable this shortcut?

    HA, I just can't believe that they censored that. Was not an offensive word at all. Jeez I think I'll pass the OS.

    Hi TheRev81,

    Have you checked directly Web site of the manufacturer of the mouse?  There should be software specific to your mouse that you can install to program the mouse buttons to do what you want, or nothing if you prefer.

    Example, for the Microsoft mouse, is what made the intellipoint software.

    Thanks and good luck!
