Cursor behaving erratically

Since a few days back I am having a issue with my cursor. The little arrow seems to have life of its own. The cursor jumps across de screens sometimes even performing clicks.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina with Maverick 10.9.1 installed.
How can I fix this issue?
Thank you,
D

Hello Diegooriani,
It sounds like you are getting some erratic cursor behaviour on your MacBook Pro. I recommend taking a look at the following information from the article named:
Portables and Magic Trackpad: Jumpy or erratic trackpad operation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1449
The Apple Magic Trackpad and built-in trackpads on Apple portable computers work on a principle called coupling capacitance. As your finger moves over the surface, the trackpad evaluates the change in capacitance between two layers of measurement electrodes built into the surface of the trackpad and translates that to cursor movement.
Verify only one part of your finger is touching the pad. You cannot use a pen or other object--the trackpad is designed to work only with your finger. Also confirm that you are not resting your wrist on or very close to the pad. The trackpad may interpret this as your finger touching it and make the cursor move in that direction. If you suspect either of these is causing the cursor's behavior, try raising your wrist in the air and touch the pad with only the tip of your finger. If the symptom goes away then, you know that one of the above is the cause, and you should adjust the position of your wrist or finger.
If you have sweaty hands or if moisture collects on the pad, this may also confuse the trackpad. Wiping off the trackpad with a cloth or tissue usually fixes this issue. If the issue goes away when a piece of paper is put between the finger and trackpad you may want to consider purchasing a Teflon applique to fit over the pad to prevent the moisture from having direct contact with the trackpad. Before installing the Teflon applique, confirm the trackpad is clean and dry. You can use a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth, not onto the trackpad itself to clean the trackpad.
Oil or lotion can also cause the same issue. Do not use hand lotion, or consider purchasing a Teflon pad to protect the trackpad. Before installing the Teflon pad, confirm the trackpad is clean and dry.
Jewelry may also cause interference. Try removing rings or bracelets and see whether the jumpy or erratic behavior disappears.
Apple has had some reports of this behavior related to power supplies made by a third party company. If you are using one of these power adapters, unplug it and try running from the Apple battery to see how the trackpad behaves. Also try using the Apple AC adapter instead of the third-party AC adapter. If the trackpad behaves normally while running from the Apple battery or adapter, there is most likely an issue with your third-party adapter.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Two symbols, have same code, yet one behaves erratic. Both stage and symbol timelines used.

Here is a link to the problem site using edge: http://pbpromos.com/test-edge/
Basically, there is a random or erratic behaviour with the symbol/box on the right when you go into and out of it by pressing the button on the bottom which makes it scale out and in. The symbol/box on the left always behaves like it should no matter how many times you press the bottom button scaling it out/in. However, for the symbol/box on the right, it skips animation steps at random times by pressing the bottom buttons. When you first load the page, the right symbol/box scales out/in properly and may take a few times to reproduce the problem. Sometimes you have to try also going in and out of the symbol on the left and then try the symbol on the right to make it show this erratic behavior.
MORE DETAIL:
The symbol all the way to the right ( Merchant Dashboard ) is not behaving like the one on the left. When you go into them with the bottom button, the symbol scales out towards you making it bigger and pushes the symbol on the left out. When you press on the RETURN button on the bottom it should scale back by playing the animation in REVERSE. It does this by playing the stage and symbol timelines in reverse all the way to the start of their respective timelines. This works fine for the right symbol if you try going in and out several times, however, the right symbol behaves eratically when trying to go in and out multiple times. Yet they both have identical code.
If you try going in and out you will see what I mean.
There are three timelines. The stage timeline and the two symbol timelines. To scale out when you press the bottom red button, I play the stage timeline and the symbol's timeline. Here is the code at the stage level triggered by the buttons which are found inside the two symbols:
Right button (CLICK): "DASHBOARD LOGIN"
sym.play("Dashboard");   // Label at the symbol timeline
sym.getComposition().getStage().play("Dashboard");   // Label on the stage timeline
Left button (CLICK): "REDEEM VOUCHER"
sym.play("RedeemVoucher");   // Label at the symbol timeline
sym.getComposition().getStage().play("RedeemVoucher");   // Label on the stage timeline
When the stop(); is reached and the symbols scale out, I display the "RETURN TO MERCHANT AREA" button. When this is clicked this code is executed within the symbols:
sym.playReverse();
sym.getComposition().getStage().playReverse();
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

ok, I stand before you, head bowed in humiliation, begging for your forgiveness :-)
I'm not sure what is going on but I found the font problem (or at least it seems so).
Somehow (and I don't know how but I think I've been "duplicating the same folder content each time I start a new page to test and make changes (since the problem, I have been scared to touch anything that WAS working).
Well, it seems that the "duplicated" folder was missing my "CSS" folder in every one!
That explains why, even though the fonts and all the settings in Edge showed everything as being correct - they were; all except the CSS page that loaded the fonts!!!
Again, I humbly apologize - I really do try and find the problem BEFORE posting here; this one just eluded me :-)

My magic mouse behaves erratically with intermittent problems - slows down, right click doesn't work, disconnects for a few seconds then reconnects. Anyone suggest what I could do to fix this?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Macbook Pro (mid 2012) inbuilt Track pad behaving erratically after fresh install of Yosemite 10.10.2

I recently did a fresh install of the OS from online recovery. Mountain Lion was installed which I immediately upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2. The trackpad started behaving erratically after two days. I seems that it started since I plugged one of my wifi router on the lan port. The trackpad is impossible to move as it seems to have a mind of its own. An external mouse connected works fine. Any help please !

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

How to fix: photos are behaving erratic or connected to each other

Please help as I'm stymied! My Mac PS CS5.5, vs. 12.1 is behaving strange when more than one photo is open. I don't like tabs, so I've turned that off in preferences. I need to have several photos open at once, and like to spread them over the desktop to see them all at the same time. When I click on one photo, the others are behaving erratically: some are changing to show the same photo I clicked on or part of it. It's as if each window is connected. How do I turn that off or otherwise fix the problem, so that I can view each individual photo and even make changes to it, without it effecting the other open photos?
I have already tried rebooting and deleting the settings file by booting PS while holding down the command, option, and shift buttons. And I checked for updates, but looks like I have the latest.
Thx, Cindy

Thanks for your answer. I tried fixing the following, but it didn't fix the problem.
This is a brand new copy of Photoshop. Previous copies have worked fine on this computer. I just went to preferences/performance and changed the memory usage allowance up to 89%--think it was at 70%, and made an external drive with 1000GB extra space another scratch disk. Then re-launched PS. Problem is still there and happens even if I only have two photos open, plus no other software besides internet browser open.
The mac is a fairly new tower with 6gb ram. Not sure how to find out which video card I have, but I did purchase the upgrade.
Thoughts?

Mac book pro trackpad and arrow keys behaving erratically

Hi,
Over the past few months I've noticed my track pad and arrow keys not working as they should and the problem has been getting worse until a few days ago the trackpad stopped working all together only for it to come back to life for a few hours then get worse again.
Symptoms:
The cursor keep sticking, you can't drag it smoothly across the screen.It'll suddenly jump to the top of the screen or you can only move it left and right not up and down.
The main click stops working, it'll turn into a right click button so everytime you click I get a sub menu pop up.
When I use the arrow keys to navigate a sub menu the highlight jumps around as if it's possesd.
Sometimes I'm not touching anything and the cursor will move on it's own!?!
I've tried resetting the PRAM but it doesn't work. Everytime I restart the mac book it works fine for a little while then gets worse again.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what's wrong with it?
Thanks
Chris

The possible cause could be your List is too lengthy. What you can do is don't refresh the list when they press the key down but put a Button beside. Once they selected the value in the dropdown then hey click the Button to get whatever needed.

Thanks - how would I do that?
I am thinking that another possibility is the FirstOrDefault
command that runs in the FocusItem method. I think that it is causing any arrow key (up/down) interaction to behave erratically, but I don't know what to use in its place.

IPad keyboard behaving erratically.

I am using a new 10w USB charger for my iPad and when I try to use the touch keyboard it starts behaving erratically. I touch a letter and other letters appear and when I touch the delete button more letters appear? When i unplug it the keyboard is fine, is this a problem with the charger?

I would try another charger now. Borrow one if you can or take your iPad and your charger to an Apple Store.
If the iPad keyboard behaves erratically with another charger, it could be an issue with the iPad. If you switch chargers and the problem goes away, then I would assume that the charger is the culprit.
Does this make sense to you?
You can also try this and see if it makes any difference. Do this while the iPad is not plugged in and charging. Reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How can I move an original Version from one Project to another Project?

How can I move an original Version from one Project to another Project?

From the Aperture User Manual:
To move an image into a different project
Drag the image [from the Browser] into another project in the Library inspector.

Open just one project at a time

Is there any way to just load one project, instead what happens now, whcih is loading ALL my projects each time I open Final Cut pro X.
Thanks
PS
Any news on an update?

Hey D.,
You can organise your projects into folders in the Project library area ... but when you start FCP X it will still load those projects.
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/#ver79aa468d
If you truly want to prevent FCPX from loading those projects at all then you can to manage that yourself at the Finder level, again by simply organising those projects in folders. Look in your user's Movies folder (~/Movies) and you'll see a folder called "Final Cut Projects" ... if you simply create a new folder called "Final Cut Projects (Inactive)" then you can move projects that you don't want to be loaded in there. The same goes for your Events with the "Final Cut Events" folder.
Apple recommend this in their document here :
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
And as Innocentius notes, there's a super simple 3rd party app available from Assisted Editing called "Event Manager X" which puts a straightforward graphical interface on the process, its only 5 USD :

Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

This is a strange situation. The bullets below outline the situation:
The project does not display any images
When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
I tried the following basics:
Fixed permissions
Rebuilt the database
Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
Found the images in my Aperture library
I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
Any idea how I can fix this?
My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.

One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

I'm using ver. 3.4.5. After having a problem importing some photo's I now have all my library showing up in the one project. I'm worried about just deleting this project in total. Any help would be appreciated

After importing a small group of photo's I noticed that aperture didn't create a project for them as usual. The only place I could see them was in last imported. While last importwas open I selected the photo's and told aperture to creat a new project using the selected one's. I named the project with the date using all cap's so I would know which one it was. What I have now is my whole library showing up in this one project. If I import more pictures It does two things. A new project is created as it normally does. These new thumbnails also show up in the problem project. I tested to see what would happen if I deleted one old picture while the problem project was open. It went to the trash. It was also removed from its original project. If I ignore this what seems to happen when importing at this time is that a new project is created that you can open, it acts normal. The file only contains the correct amount pictures. If I then go to the problem project the thrumbnails show here also.
About 6 mos ago I switch to Aperture from iphoto. I never combined the two libraries. I have around twelve thousand photo's. December 1st I backed up my imac with Time Machine. I don't want to back up again until I get this problem in check.
Thanks for any help, Dale

Hi Andy,
I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5
No the one with the caps seems to be working normally.This project with the caps now has four files. Originally I created it with about fifteen. I deleted eleven of them and edited the remaining four. The four files each have one version and its original. It wasn't until after I completed this work that I noticed the privious project when opened and scrolled had the entire library in it.
The test I did went like this. With the problem opened I deleted one file that I new existed prior to this problem. I than opened that project that I new it was from to see if it got deleted and found it gone and moved to trash. I think that tells me that if I delete all the files in the problem project I'll be in trouble. I also have inported to projects each with one file that I edited. They are working fine. I took a look in the problem project and this last
two imports show the thumdnails in it.
Currently on my Hard Drive I have 275 GB free space. My photo's take up 138 GB. As I said on Dec. 1st I backed up the system using time machine. So all of Dec. and part of Jan. inports won't be on it. I could work around the problem project and move those file to a safe place. I think it best not to back up the system with Time Machine until I'm confident the Aperture is runing properly. I'm happy that I control these system backups manually.
I'll need to find out how to copy the Aperture library to another place. I'm sure I can poke around and fined out the process.
Thanks Andy for the come back!

Copying a single file from one project to another????

Hello,
New to Mac from a PC, tried search with no results. I have a single image I would like to display in 2 separate projects in Aperture. (As I will be writing to a disc and print later). How do I copy the image from Project A to Project B, making is available to both??? Thanks in advance!

There are two different ways to do this.
The first way is literally exactly what you are asking for but may not be what you really want. You can copy the image (and corresponding master) by holding down the option key while dragging the image from one project to the other - make sure the drop target is the actual little yellow project box and not something inside the project box. When you do this there will be two completely separate copies that have nothing to do with each other. If you make an adjustment to one the other will not change, if you delete one master the other will still be there.
The second way may be what you actually want - if you create any type of album within or even outside of a project you can drag any images from any project into it - no copies are made but the image will "show up" in that album no matter what project it happens to live in. This is usually a better way to group images together from multiple projects no matter what the purpose.

Can EJB and BC exist at the same time in one project?

having to use ADF's BC and EJB to access data in both way due to the special requirements, but I am always getting the deployment failure.
can Ejbs and BC components exist at the same time in one project?

thanks for your reply.
I considered to separate the BC and EJB as the separate project. I just use the EJB component to implement the dynamic tree menu, whether a little make a mountain out of a molehill if you as a separate project.

How can I order more than one project to save on delivery costs?

Is it possible to order more than one project (book) in iPhoto at the same time to save on delivery costs? I have several to order and I dont want to get hit for £5.99 three time if possible. I cant see how to do it or even if this is possible. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Andy

You can only order identical projects on one order. If they are different then a seperate order is required
