Curser always jumping back to the top of page

My curser is always jumping back to the top of the page.  I will be half way down the page and it just jumps right back to the top.  Is this a setting I can change?

The other problem occasionally seen is a swollen battery.
This can push up against the bottom of the trackpad and make it wonky, but usually the result is RANDOM movements.

  • Every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • I cannot click on 'reply' on a website where you can post comments. I try to reply to someone elses post, it jumps back to the top of the site!

    I have 'Yahoo' as my home page, and from there I see articles which I usually like to respond to and make comments. That I can do quite easily, but if I try to post a reply to someone else's comment, the page jumps back to the top and the 'reply' option does not open for me to post my comment. This does not happen all the time, but it is happening quite often now. I have RESET my Firefox browser thinking that was the problem, but it still persists.
    Thank you for your help.

    The first thing you can try is to clear the cache and cookies.
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • When I open a new link and then switch back to the original page why does it go all the way back to the top of page?

    Scroll to the middle or bottom of a page with many links (like ebay) then close the link and when it returns to original page you are sent all the way back to the top of the page, why does it not switch back to the area of the page I was originally viewing?

    Try here:
    Tools > Options > Applications
    Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
    Does it work?
    Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
    Tools > Options >General tab
    pick "Always ask me where to save files"
    All good now?

I always use me keypad to scroll down but within two seconds the page pops back to top of web page I was on? using latest safari browser. It doesnt do this when I use Chrome... i prefer to use safari,, is there something i can reset? Thank you

    Is this happening to a webpage that requires a cookie or cache?  It is possible either cookie or cache is corrupted.  Cookies are frequently used to manage your passwords securely.

  • Pages jump back to the top if I start reading before they finish loading.

    I found that someone had a similar bug about 8 years ago (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292286) but obviously, firefox has since been updated considerably, so the fix (download Mozilla 5.0) isn't appropriate anymore.
    It only happens on slow loading pages, and only intermittently.

    It is possible that some JavaScript runs on a specific page that modifies the content or sets focus to an element on the page and in such a case there is probably nothing to do about this.
    Does this happens on long pages?
    Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?

  • From time to time Firefox will not allow me to scroll down a web page, when I scroll down it will jump right back to the top of the web page. Any ideas?

    Sometimes when on firefox when I try to scroll down a web page it will immediately jump right back to the top of the web page as soon release the mouse button. When it starts happening it will do this on all open tabs on all web sites.
    Just closing Firefox and reopening it does not help, only way I have found to fix this is to reset my computer.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

    My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words.  To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine.  I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything.  Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
    Advice?

    I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles.  I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine.  ***.

  • How can I get my Albums back at the top of the Library Panel?

    I recently upgraded to 3.3.2 and among the many new and sublty annoying features, all the smart albums which I created and which used to be at the top of the Library panel now appear at the bottom below the Projects.
    Why someone thought this should be moved is beyond me... and I am hoping there is a way for me to bring it back to the top.
    In some of my Aperture libraries I have literally hundreds of projects and rely on smart albums to quickly organize photos across them. Having to scroll to the bottom of the pane is a pain!
    Does anyone know how I can bring the ALBUMS back to the top of the Library pane?

    Create a folder (new Folder), call it "My albums" or similar, and drag it to the top of your projects section in the Library Inspector panel.
    Then drag all your albums there.
    You will have to set the projects to be arranged manually, or let the name of this folder start with a character that bring it to the top, if you want to sort by name.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • When I have a message open in Hotmail I can't scroll down the message for more than a second before it springs back to the top; this is accompanied by the website eating my download limit at about a MB every 30 seconds...how do I stop this?

    Hi, thanks for helping guys! When I use hotmail, and only have my inbox and cover sheet displayed, everything is fine. But, when I open a message it won't let me scroll down without springing back to the top- if I repeatedly try this it eventually lets the message scroll down. More troublingly, even if I just leave the message open it continues to eat my download allowance at a rate of about a megabyte every 30-40 seconds- so, leaving normal messages from trusted contacts open has resulted in me using a massive chunk of my restricted download allowance. I've gone back to using Firefox 3.6 and the problem has disappeared.

  • When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it

    I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.

    Hi sayla,
    When you reloaded your software did you do a clean reload (deleting all data)? http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
    If so, you might try doing a resettofactory using the following instructions. http://bit.ly/fMW9I4 This will reset to factory default.
