Desktop seems to do its own thing when mouse is in use.

Intel core 2 duo
OS 10.6.8
Keyboard and mouse seem to have a mind of there own. They scroll through things on their own and keyboard is not fully functioning. Recently moved it from one office to another. Is there possible interference with second iMac?

Interference is a possibility:

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
    Was it online prior to this incident happening?

    1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
    By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
    If so, see:

    Hi doctor.saddam,
    If your MacBook Pro is shutting down unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPad 3 screen is doing its own thing...

    Help!  My iPad 3 is opening and closing apps on its own, will not let me do a hard reset, tried rebooting, I am at a loss.  When it started doing it this morning, I tried updating it, rebooting it, resetting it, it does it, then it stops, then it starts again.  Help!!!

    You should backup your iPad and make an appointment at a Genius Bar.  The problem you are experiencing is most likely a hardware problem (screen/digitizer)

  • IPad 2 plays music on its own. When I shift my backpack, ipod ap launches

    A few minutes after I put my iPad 2 in my backpack, or if I shift my backpack, my ipod ap launches on its own and music starts to play. Sometimes, I can just touch the bag and the ap launches, this, despite the fact that I have the magnetic cover on and closed. I usually then put my iPad 2, with its magnetic cover closed, in the Hand Candy padded case I bought for greater protection because I have to put my pack, and the iPad 2 separately, through a security screening to enter my place of work. The backpack has plenty of room and, in fact, is nearly empty. I put the ipod in the padded section, again, for protection.
    Still, often when I shift the pack or bend down with the pack on or pick up the pack from a chair, the iPad 2 launches the ipod ap and the music start to play.
    I've tried touching and lightly pressing the iPad 2 in various places on the outside to see if I could replicate the auto music shut on, but that doesn't work. It won't come on by just touching the outside of the case with the magnetic cover closed.
    It only happens when I put the padded case into my backpack and shift the pack to my back, or when I take off  the pack to put it on my desk or pick it up. That's when the music starts.
    I don't get it. It's not like my pack is stuffed or that that I have the iPad pressed against anything.
    Is it haunted?
    Anyone else have this experience?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Help!

    There are small magnets in the mic, but you are correct they shouldn't do it.
    Try separating them anyway.
    If you haven't already, try restarting the iPad: To restart (reboot) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    Also, you can turn the iPad off, instead of just putting it to sleep. Not a permanent fix, but a workaround until it's figured out.
    Anyone else have a tip for RD ??

  • My ipad freezes, reboots on its own and when I try to restore the machine reboots before the process ends

    Just bought this ipad in June 2013 and then all of a sudden about two weeks ago, I discovered the machine reboots on its own and would only be active for less than 2 minutes.  I check the auto-lock assigned minutes and it was set on 15 minutes even at this, it will still go off after less than 2 minutes.  I then checked on some of the suggestions on the net for a similar problem and resolved to pressing and holding the sleep/wake button simultaneously with the Home button to force a reboot.  Even at this no change.  Then I tried connecting the machine to a PC logging on to the itunes to do a backup and restore but the machine will not stay long enough to complete the procedure before rebooting on its own.  Any help?

  • IPhone doing its own thing!

    I had to send away my IPhone 4 and get a replacement but the one I have is going crazy! It won't open up apps it won't close them, it won't turn off after a call, it keeps pressing numbers on its own and even opening apps by it self. Any ideas? Why it's doing it? How I can fix it? Thanks

    looks like hardware problem ! Take it back

  • My PowerBook shuts down on its own (persists when RAM is changed)

    Hi all,
    My PowerBook shuts down on its own. It will display the "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?", and even with me clicking Cancel, it will just shut off immediately after displaying the sign, as if I pressed and held the Power Button.
    I've sinced change the RAM back to the default piece, but the problem persists.
    Moreover it's a random, although frequent and frustrating, occurance, so I'm not sure if the service centre will take it in since I cannot reproduce the problem.
    I'm using it on a 1920x1200 display.

    first you can try resetting Power Manager.
    the rpoblem may be caused by some software bug, try making new user, then log in as new user and work for a while - if it works ok it's something in the original user software.
    then you can try "archive and install" of the OS.
    also, problem maybe caused by bad keyboard, top case (where the power button is) or logic board.
    anyways keep files backed up and maybe get it diagnosed by service shop.

  • Can anyone explain the split and overlapping date ranges in PHOTO moments.  I would have expected each date to have its own slot.  What logic is used for deciding which photos to include and where to split them?

    iPad Air iOS 8.1 Stock Photo App.  14000 Photos. Overlapping date ranges in Moments.  What is the criteria used for deciding after import where photos are included in Moments.  I was expecting each day to have its own exclusive slot for example, not 26 - 27 January 2007 with 8 photos then 27 January 2007 1 photo.  Why is there not two seperate slots, one for the 26th and one for 27th??   This makes locating photos by day more arkward than it need be and seems to follow no logic.  This occurs over 150 times and is very confusing.  Is this an issue or expected behaviour?

  • How build buttons that can be excuted once when mouse down, but recover to its original status when mouse up

    Basically, I want to build several independent buttions. When one button gets the mouse down event, some code is excuted once, but when mouse up, the button go to its original status, and wait for the next click.,
    this should be pretty simple in other languages (C++, or Java), anyway, I feel so hard to figure it out in Labview.
    Any help will be greatly apprecitated!

  • My iPod has a mind of its own. When it doesn't want to play, it stops.

    I am on my 2nd iPod in 5 months. The first was replaced b/c of defective video. No prob. The replacement has been plagued with frequent but random episodes of simply pausing. The iPod will be playing just fine and dandy, at perfect rest on the table or bed or at my desk at work, when all of a sudden it just stops playing, and I have to un-pause it so that it starts playing again. How often does this occur? It is completely unpredictable, completely random, without neither rhyme nor reason. Sometimes it will pause, I'll start it again only to have it pause a couple of seconds later. Sometimes I go through this routine two or three times in a row within a matter of 15 seconds. Sometimes it only pauses once per day. Sometimes it pauses 5, 10, maybe 15 times a day. Conversely, some days it never pauses.
    I sent the iPod in after putting up with extreme inconvenience but only after I performed everything known to resolve such issues: restoring, updating, testing out particular songs, changing out headsets frequently and other troubleshooting exercises ad nauseam. I received the iPod back with the indication that "no problems were found," and the replacement unit I sent in was sent back to me. The only thing Apple Support did was to restore it, which I have already done twice. The darn thing still does exactly what it has been doing... pausing at will as often as it pretty well pleases.
    I'm getting quite ill with this thing, and it doesn't help that they sent the original one back (again, my replacement iPod was sent back). I quite understand why the support team indicated that it passed diagnostics, but it is only because the device chose not to act up when they had it in their possession. It is perfectly logical that it worked flawlessly while they were testing it, only to start freaking out once it arrived back home. This scenario is liken unto the one in which you take your car to the mechanic b/c it's not working properly. It works when they have it in their shop... works as designed, but when you get it home (or drive it down the road) it starts doing the same thing. It's a gremlin that seems to be quite elusive.
    I'm posting this in hopes that others have experienced the same thing, and I can learn from their experience. I'll send this thing again, but if the device still continues to operate, in Apple Support's words, "within Apple's specifications for acceptable performance, usability and/or functionality...", I'll raise this issue to ANYONE who will listen. I purchased the warranty and I would expect that Apple stand behind it, or what good is a warranty if it will not be upheld?

    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   I'm tired of having a malfunctioning iPod. Can't we all just get along?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
