MacBook Pro retina (2013). Yosemite was doing fine; but after I upgraded it to El Capitan, I get white screen showing up every few minutes during regular coding and browsing. I searched online but most white screen problems of Mac users happened during the upgrade, but mine is during regular use. Anyone knows how to debug problems like this?
EDIT: some more clues --- 1. the pointer is still visible and I can move it around as well; 2. I can even take a screenshot of the white screen; 3. when I swipe up on touchpad I still get to "show my desktop", but after I swipe down the white screen comes back.
It sounds like there is a scheduled job that starts up in the background and runs an incompatible app. What does your console say when you reboot?
You need to remove 3rd party internet related software that isn't fully compatible with El Capitan and then reboot.
Also, did you try the fixes recommended
here.
Specifically
1) enter single user mode and run /sbin/fsck -fy
2) boot into safe mode
You may also need to remove these items (tuntap, a VPN software):

I have MacBook Pro M1 Max, with two monitors, one 34" as the main monitor and one 24" as the side monitor which I use vertically, after upgrading to macOS Ventura this issue started to appear! When
I tried to watch a video on my main monitor when I switched to full screen, it was showing it sideways!
I'm a software developer so I have multiple browsers, I tried on all of them, and sometimes one was rotating but not the other, but after some time, all were rotating!
I tested Youtube, Amazon Prime, HBO on browsers, and then even the Apple TV app, they all show the videos sideways in fullscreen mode!
But it was happening only on the main monitor, not the side one, not the laptop's internal screen!
Interestingly, the image was showing normal if you moved the mouse pointer on that screen, but as soon as you stopped the mouse, the video go back to the rotated state!
One thing I found out about this was that if you restart the OS, the issue goes away, but after a few times of Sleep/Awake circles, sometimes same day but definitely the next day, it'd come back, and I have to restart the laptop again and again!
SOLVED!
It was frustrating! I called Apple support, and first, they offered to restart the OS and boot in Safe Mode and see if this happens in that mode too, I tried and it was happening in Safe Mode too!
Then the next solution was to reinstall the OS, so I backed up the data as a precaution and reinstalled the macOS Ventura, and it worked the issue has gone away!
So I leave the issue and solution here for future reference.
Here is the link to Apple Support for reinstalling the OS:

I have XQuartz 1.20.11 (xorg-server 1.20.11) on an M1 MacBook Pro (installed via MacPorts) and am trying to display IntelliJ running on a Linux box via ssh/X11.
The IntelliJ windows appear with oddly rendered text that's unreadable—the white background turns black, and there are white outlines around the black text. If I click outside of an X11 window and start typing, then the IntelliJ window looks normal. But as soon as I touch the trackpad, IntelliJ becomes unreadable.
I tried taking a screen shot, but it comes out looking normal even though the window is nearly unreadable. So I've attached photo of the screen.
X11 windows from other applications display fine.
As mentioned in an XQuartz thread, setting
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false' clears up the text but results in extremely slow display.
Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting or a solution?

I'm experiencing a really weird and frustrating issue with the Android Emulator on macOS Monterey.
I have "tap to click" enabled on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2015 15"), and it works fine in all other apps. But somehow, when the emulator window is active it seems to miss almost every other tap. If I click hard instead of tapping, it catches every click. The tap sensitivity in the Trackpad settings is set to "light".
So, it seems that the emulator window is somehow less sensitive to tapping than all other apps. I don't even know how this is possible, is there even such a thing as app-specific tap-sensitivity??
What's more, it's not only the emulator window itself that has this issue, but the emulator settings window as well. If I tap the "Enable clipboard sharing" toggle, it misses about 50% of the taps. If I click hard, it catches them 100%. If I try the same in some other app (tested with the "System Preferences" window), it catches 100% of the taps.
I have tested and tested this again to make sure I'm not biasing the results, but there really is a difference, and it's driving me nuts. I think it appeared after updating to Monterey, but not 100% sure of the exact timing correlation.
Any ideas??
My problem was really similar, I am using MAC with apple mouse, so I could fix it by disabling the mouse wheel on Android Emulator Extended Controls.
Hope that help
I've noticed the same issue some time ago. Unfortunately, I didn't find any solutions.
However, there are a couple of good enough workarounds:
Launch the emulator in a tool window. Anyway, this is a default approach for modern versions of Android Studio. To enable/disable it check Preferences -> Tools -> Emulator -> Launch in a tool window.
Use alt emulators. For instance, Genymotion doesn't have such an issue.
I ran into a simmiliar issue for me and the solution that i found was enabling "tap on click" to in the "system preferences" -> "trackpad".
I am new to the Android Emulator, but am experiencing the same issue in Ubuntu, even though I have tap-to-click disabled in the OS. I hate tap-to-click, so having an ultra-sensitive-to-touch Android screen emulated on my laptop is beyond frustrating.
Looking at the documentation, I came across the SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER method, which states:
The input source is a pointing device associated with a display. Examples: SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN, SOURCE_MOUSE. A MotionEvent should be interpreted as absolute coordinates in display units according to the View hierarchy. Pointer down/up indicated when the finger touches the display or when the selection button is pressed/released. Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of the pointing device. Some devices permit touches outside the display area so the effective range may be somewhat smaller or larger than the actual display size.
In reading that, I've come to believe this may actually be the default behavior due to touchpad events being interpreted through the SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN method, rather than SOURCE_TOUCHPAD or SOURCE_MOUSE.
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution as much as a workaround:
I plugged in a mouse and tested the pointer up/down movements over the screen, which this part of the document suggests should register as a press. However, with the mouse it only responds to clicks. So it suggests to me that it is indeed properly interpreted as a SOURCE_MOUSE controlled pointer and not a SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN controlled pointer.
So unless we can find out how to make the AVD properly interpret a touchpad as a touchpad, and not a touchscreen, using a mouse seems like the best solution.
For reference, I'm including this link to the AVD manual: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator
UPDATE: Somehow over the period of about 18 hours and several restarts, my AVD no longer does tap-to-click on its virtual screen. It would be very hard to pinpoint exactly what changed because I've been updating packages frequently since I'm running a pre-alpha release of Ubuntu, but I think it's from using X11 instead of Wayland.
Which got me thinking, you could try changing your display server from Cocoa to X11. Thankfully, MacPorts, the MacOS version of the FreeBSD Ports Tree, makes it fairly easy to cross-compile software. It contains build recipes for multi-platform unix-like software, much like HomeBrew but often allowing for more customization.
That tap issue was annoying enough it's probably worth giving a shot.
(from macports website) The X11 windowing environment, for ports that depend on the functionality it provides to run. You have multiple choices for an X11 server: https://www.macports.org/install.php
I would build them in this order:
MacPorts: X11 - If you build it, you'll have a bunch of libraries already
MacPorts: QEMU - use make configure menu to select GTK3+, if there's no option for X11, try this build flag with make after you install X11 (pointing it at your X11's lib dir):
make -L/opt/X11/lib -lX11
Lastly, MacPorts: Android Platform tools

I have a strange issue whit my emulate touch functionality on Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.110 m.
I'm using laptop + monitor (both Dell) and running Windows 8.
The issue is that while Chrome is on my secondary monitor and touch screen emulation is enabled I cannot see a touch screen pointer (black circle) nor any kind of pointer, but when I move my Chrome to my main laptop display it would show. I tried disabling laptop display while using external monitor and it is the same, I cannot see the pointer. This was not a problem with previous Chrome version.
Did anyone had similar issues with this version?
Thank you
EDIT:
I've change the laptop, updated to win10 and updated Chrome to 50.0.2661.87 m version and I still have the same issue (colleague of mine has the same problem as well).
A colleague of mine "solved" the problem by enabling Windows' Mouse pointer trails at minimum length. I find it too annoying to work with the setting enable, but it does work if you really need it.
Mouse settings
They did some changes in recent version of Dev Tools and some options are now gone. Ensure you have "Mobile" or "Desktop with touch" selected, as you can see on the screenshot.
I toggled into full screen mode on QGIS 2.2 on my Mac, and now the menu bar won't show and I can't toggle out of it. From the documentation, it looks like it should toggle with F11, but it's not working. I've seen people having similar trouble on Ubuntu and Windows 7, but nothing for OSX. Any ideas? I appreciate it.
Just spent close to an hour with this problem- QGIS 2.2 on mavericks. Really vexing! I tried reinstalling (after trashing the previous version as instructed in the install notes), tried removing the hidden .qgis2 folder in the home directory, tried disabling all spaces on the machine (I started with 8 desktops), tried all permutations of Apple-F, ctrl-F, apple-shift-F, etc...
Finally, and simply, the answer was this:
F11 is documented as the toggle key, but in my mostly stock setup this was bound in MissionControl to 'display the desktop'. I rebound that function to F1, and then with QGIS up, hit F11 (on my MBP I need to also hold the fn key otherwise it's 'volume down') and I was out of Full screen mode.
Hope it works for you!
