Can anyone explain an error sound and erratic control of wireless mouse

Hi people. I have a 21inch iMac from September 2013, just before Apple gave iMac a minor hardware update to the processor.
Within 9 months of  purchase i have had this weird problem.
The problem is the  "sound you get from the iMac when you press a key on the keyboard and its an error". Well... that error sound sometimes continues as if constantly pressing a key.
Even though I've just switched on the computer this sound occurs.
To add to that odd problem i have strange control over the wireless mighty mouse.
If i go to the task bar at the top of the screen and select the Apple icon and attempt to shut down or any selection for that matter, the cursor jumps from one selection to the other. And there are occasions when the Macintosh HD icon on the right of the desktop is highlighted in blue as if i have selected it.
Batteries in mouse are new Duracell and from the same new packet.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • Can anyone explain this error??

    This program splits an int array to two arrays: one containing only even numbers, and the other only odd numbers. The two arrays are returned by the split method as array of two arrays, with the first containing only the even numbers and the second containing only the odd numbers.
    The source code:
    class OddEven
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] input = {10, 5, 6, 1, 2, 17, 9, 4, 33, 11, 9, 8};
    // splits the array into two arrays
    int[][] output = split(input);
    System.out.print("original: " + input.length);
    for (int i = 0; i < input.length; ++i) {   
    if ( i % 2 == 1);
    System.out.print(" even: " + i);
    if ( i % 2 == 0);
    system.out.print(" odd: " + i);
    public static int[][] split(int[] ori) {
    int i,even = 0,odd = 0;
    // The result is a 2d array with result[0] containing even nos and result[1] containing odd nos
    int result[][];
    for(i = 0; i < result.length; ++i){
    // Even
    if( i % 2 == 0) {
    result[odd][even] = 0;
    even++;
    // Odd
    else
    result[even][odd] = 0;
    odd++;
    This is what i should get when it is run.
    D:\> OddEven
    original: 10 5 6 1 2 17 9 4 33 11 9 8
    even: 10 6 2 4 8
    odd: 5 1 17 9 33 11 9
    However, i keep getting the onr error "package system does not exist" for the line "system.out.print(" odd: " + i);".
    I really don't know why. Can anyone help me please??
    Priya

    It should be
    System.out.print(...), like you've used in all the other lines. Look at the capital "S"!

  • Can anyone explain Diff between except and Not in.?

    Hi experts,
    Sometimes "not in" function is not working.Can anyone tell me the reason.please
    Query 1:-
    Select POL from table_1 where pol not in (select pol from table_2)
    Query 2:-
    select pol from table_1 except select pol from table_2
    Getting output from Query 2. Query1 dosen't displaying output.
    Thanks and Regards

    While using Except
    the resultant result is given after removing duplicates
    the resultant result shall include NULL values as well as present in the source table
    While using NOT IN
    the resultant result is AS IS from the source table (no duplicate elimination)
    But, it DOES ignore the NULL values.
    The following code should explain in a better way!
    declare @tab1 table ( id int)
    insert @tab1 select 1
    insert @tab1 select 1
    insert @tab1 select 2
    insert @tab1 select 2
    insert @tab1 select 3
    insert @tab1 select NULL
    declare @tab2 table ( id int)
    insert @tab2 select 2
    insert @tab2 select 2
    --using NOT IN
    --duplicates returned/NULL ignored
    select id from @tab1
    where id not in (select id from @tab2)
    --using NOT EXISTS
    --duplicates returned/NULL also returned
    select id from @tab1 t1
    where not exists(select id from @tab2 t2 where t1.id=t2.id)
    --using Except
    --duplicates Eliminated/NULL returned
    select id from @tab1
    EXCEPT
    select id from @tab2
    Thanks,

    Open "_webapp._mapviewer._index.java" file from your webserver response root.
    In tomcat this file will be under "....\Tomcat\work\localhost_8080\".
    In that file, come to the line number 58, and you can find out what is the problem, I think you may have some basic syntax problem.
    If still you are stuggling, then just cut and paste that particular set of code, then others can understand the exact problem.

  • EFax. Can anyone explain how this works and on what printers?

    HP and eFax are rather mum on how this works. Can you set the 6500a + to save incoming faxes? What are the printers that can use this?

    Hello mistercrowley,
    Currently eFax is only available on the Hp Photosmart eStation e All in One Printer C510a. The OfficeJet 6500a Plus has the standard analog fax.

  • Error: Can anyone explain

    You must install a Solaris patch to run the native threads version of the
    Java runtime. The green threads version will work without this patch.
    Please check the native threads release notes for more information.
    If you are embedding the VM in a native application, please make sure that
    the native application is linked with libthread.so (-lthread).

    This worked for someone
    I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
    About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
    Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
    I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
    Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

    when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates
