Every time you surf to a website, your Mac checks with a domain name server (DNS) to match the name of the website with its IP address. Without the IP address, you won't reach the site. The default for most Mac users is the DNS run by their internet service provider. That's ok, but not perfect.
With the new OS X El Capitan release, Apple has included a very helpful according to some users, but at the same time extremely annoying for others, mouse pointer zoom feature.
If you have found yourself in the past looking at your Mac's desktop in search for your mouse's pointer, and you haven't been able to pinpoint for seconds on end, Apple has implemented a new accessibility feature in OS X 10.11 El Capitan designed to help you locate it with a simple mouse pointer shaking gesture.
However, if you are a gamer or you just don't like having your mouse shaking on screen, the new 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' El Capitan feature is granted to drive you crazy right after updating your Mac to OS X 10.11.
If a mouse pointer shake is the one thing that would make you downgrade to Yosemite and give up on all the performance boost and multi-tasking goodness of El Capitan, you don't have to do it because Apple has made sure that disabling the 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' feature is very easy.
Disabling the El Capitan mouse shake feature is one click away in the Accessibility prefpane
As you can see in the recording embedded below, to stop your mouse pointer zooming on your Mac's screen, you have to open the System Preferences application. Nuvavult mac os.
Next, you have to click on the Accessibility preference pane, go to the Display sub-menu and then uncheck the 'Shake mouse pointer to locate' option under the 'Cursor size' slider.
Once you unchecked it, the mouse pointer will stop zooming in each time you move your mouse from side to side, and you will once again be able to enjoy all the new features of El Capitan on your Mac.
Leave us a word in the comments section below if you have any other tips or tricks about the new features added by Apple to the OS X El Capitan release or if you have any questions regarding the El Capitan mouse cursor zoom feature.
