Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is a very technical term for your Mac’s ability to retain stored data even when the computer powers off. Sometimes this memory can get jumbled and cause your computer to do strange things–like make your cursor jump all over the screen. A reset of your Mac’s NVRAM could resolve the issue. Leaping, spring, saltation, bound, bounce; An abrupt transition 'a successful leap from college to the major leagues'; - jump, saltation; A sudden and decisive increase 'a leap in attendance'; - jump; The distance leaped (or to be leaped) 'a leap of 10 feet' Derived forms: leaped, leaping. Important: To ensure your current and upcoming releases work properly with Gatekeeper, test on both OS X 10.9.5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10. Note: The changes in this section also apply to OS X 10.8.5 if Security Update 2014-004 for OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 has been installed.

MacBook Pro :: Spilt Water - Screen Pitch Black When Turned On

OS X :: Screen Saver / Turned Black

Just got an iMac yesterday. Today when I turned on the iTunes screen saver, the screen turned black, and wouldn't respond. I held the power button for several seconds until it turned off, and then turned it back on. Everything was ok until I went to configure the screen savers. As soon as I picked the first one, the preview screen turned gray, and the wheel started spinning. I used force quit on it, and tried loading a different screen saver, and same thing happened.

OS X :: MB Stutters Blue Screen When Turned On And Shuts Down

I'm desperately trying to get my 3 year old macbook to cooperate - it operates fine although it has been very slow lately but occasionally it will freeze and flash a blue screen, then either just remain frozen or shut down. When I try to turn it back on, it responds as normal, but as the desktop, wireless bars, etc start to load, the pinwheel comes up and then the screen flashes blue, and the whole process of loading the desktop starts over. This repeats endlessly until after turning on and off a few times and waiting about ten minutes it will finally turn back on- something is clearly up and I'm afraid I am going to lose data.

MacBook Pro :: Cursor Keeps Jumping All Around?

My cursor keeps jumping all around. Someone said it had something to do with the wireless bluetooth app but I disabled it and I am still having the same problem.

PowerPC :: EMac Turned On And Stuck On Logo Screen

I am a high school teacher and in my lab, for the first time, I have an eMac (1 GHz G4), that, when I turn it on, all that shows is a grey screen with an apple in the middle. I tried doing a 'mac-boot' to no avail.

Why didn't I think of that?

A much better option than Free Ruler is PixelStick. It isn't in the way as much as Free Ruler, and it lets you measure angles and distances along an angle too.

Yeah, I've been doing this for a while now. It's so fast and easy for web design. I also didn't think it was a hint, but it can save tons of time. I'm glad others will know about this now.

A+

ditto for using it for years and not thinking it was hint-worthy.
Note: the hint requires at least Leopard. The coordinates aren't shown in Tiger.

Bonus tip: hold down the spacebar after you start dragging, and you can move your entire selection around without starting over. Makes it easy to get the positioning exactly right.
I formed this habit in Illustrator, and at some point I must have tried it as an automatic reflex when taking a screenshot. Was surprised and delighted that it worked. I believe this feature was added in Snow Leopard.

Hey that's really cool. That seems tip-worthy to me in and of itself.
Rob

I agree. It's a great tip, and some great tips here in the comments.
I love the part about holding down the spacebar after you start dragging.
I just tried PixelStick and I'm grateful to have learned of it here, in these comments.
Thanks!

PixelStick is my favorite measuring tool, but, honestly, i never thought to use the screen capture..
I think that's a really good tip, thank you!

I love the spacebar trick - very neat! And also really pleased to have found out about PixelStick - I won't use it for everything but I think I'll certainly use it enough that I've already given it a space on my Dock!

I never thought of using modifier keys for screen capture, but hey, it actually works:
shift: horizontal or vertical selection only, depending on the movement you were making
option: use a centered starting point
option-shift: like shift with centered starting point
space: move it around
so cooool ... thanks .....

cool !
I use the screen zoom feature for handicapped people and have set it so holding down 'ctrl-alt-cmd' and using the scroll-wheel zooms the screen. Maybe good to zoom in first to measure more precisely.
I use screenshots a lot and was blown away by the modifier keys working !!

Hi guys,
I've recently created a small app that is just amazing when it comes to measuring items on screen. It's workflow is a lot better than a standard ruler. Check it out at http://pixf.it
It automatically finds the edges of the item you want to measure offering you a choice of copying the dimensions to the clipboard in a couple of different formats. Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers!

Along with a few tools that you have to buy, you can still measure pixels on the Mac with its stock application. There is a Grab utility, you can capture screen selection, it will create window with an image of selected area (not saved to the disc yet), then you can go to Edit -> Inspector and it will show dimensions of selected area (it will also show dimensions as a tooltip during selection process). Good thing is that captured image isn't saved to the disc, you can just dismiss it. Not great, but does the job. It also supports delayed capture which is good for capturing popup menus and such.

I second the recommendation of PixelStick. Its an awesome, light and handy little app for anyone measuring (in any app or in maps) and working with colors.
