Does anyone know why my mouse cursor jumps all over the screen at times?

Does anyone know why the mouse cursor jumps all over the screen at times, especially if I am playing solitare?  Is it Yahoo games or my Apple?

Is this a Magic Mouse you're talking about?
If so there's already discussions about this here and maybe related to it, here.  Also google something like "jumping magic mouse" and there's no end of discussions on this topic

  • Mouse is Jumping all over the screen...

    I have been having all kinds of problems with my mouse. The one on my computer will at times not respond to touch... I thought I had fixed that by wiping it down but it still isnt great...
    Then my mouse started having the cursor jumping all over the screen... I ended up going and buying a Magic Mouse as the guy at the store said my mouse was going bad... Well I have been great with the magic mouse for about 24 hours and now it is starting to do it again...
    Any ideas of what I should do?

    Buy a Logitech Bluetooth mouse!! I have had no problems with my Logitech...it seems like more people have problems with the mighty mouse and magic mouse. That is my opinion. I have this mouse:

  • Satellite C600 - Cursor jumping all over the screen

    I was just issued the Satellite C600 and I cannot type without my curser jumping all over the screen. I've followed the advice from other threads with no success. "FN+F9" does not disable the touchpad, and there is no touchpad tab under Mouse Properties. In fact, when I search the whole computer for "touchpad" there is no response.
    Please advise!

    Hello
    Why you try to disable the touchpad?
    On Satellite C series there is a BIOS update that will solve this cursor jumping issue. There are already a lot of threads here in forum:

  • Cursor jumps all over the screen

    Hello, everybody. On my MacBook Pro (Leopard, wireless Mighty Mouse) cursor moves chaotically in different directions. It happens only when mouse connected to MacBook. Trackpad works without any problem.
    Anybody familiar with this problem?

    try putting the mouse in a different USB port, or go to mouse prefences, and that might help.

    hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

    If this is true, then it is because no one is making these apps.
    Why else would it be?

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • My magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page

    Hi, my magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page and random apps keep appearing on my screen when I'm in facebook and it keeps sliding onto my dashboard screen.

    Thanks so much for replying Barry.  Did what you said but took me 6 attempts to be able to reply to you so unfortunately did not work.  Have to wait over a week to get into Apple store so I guess I've just got to wait.  This is my second magic mouse and its driving me crazy.  Touch pad also playing up but thanks for the advice and have a good day.

  • Curser is jumping all over the screen by itself

    my curser is jumping all over the screen by itself.  anyone else have this problem and if so how did you fix it?

    I have the same problem.
    The curser jumps all over the place either when typing on the keyboard on my totally tricked out 2012 MacAir (i7 2.0GHz, 512GB), or on the bluetooth keygoard that I have on my keyboard tray nearby: does it on both, apparently totally at random and quite often.
    It is realy annoying. I am trying to write a large book and this is really slowing me down.
    Various solutions are here on the forum related to old batteries bulging the keyboard, but it even does it on the bluetooth keyboard and the thing is only a year old, so that can't be it.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Daniel

  • Pointer jumps all over the screen erratically on new MacPro Quad Core

    I just powered up my new MacPro Quad Core Xeon for the first time today. For the monitor, my new Viewsonic VG2230. I noticed that my new mighty mouse was skipping all over the screen and it was hard to get the pointer on the place on the screen I wanted to click. It got much worse when I added the second monitor (Viewsonic VA1912), and didn't want to move across from one screen to another at first.
    I thought maybe it was the mouse, and put on my old Razor Pro mouse, which I know and love. Same problems. I switch USB ports still the same.
    According to Viewsonic, both monitors are compatible, and I have used the VA1912 successfully on my old PowerMac. I thought it was odd that the number of screens affected the problem, which is why I am concentrating on the monitors, but I wonder if it isn't a problem with my Mac.
    Any ideas?

    Hello g:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I suspect a faulty mouse. However, try two things first. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart. Reset the PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Second, after assuring Apple this really was a problem, i got the ultimate insult. "If you would like to lodge a technical support ticket, we will need your credit card. This call will cost you $150.00."
    You see, I bought this thing four months ago. Apparently you only get a 90 day free call period. After that you're warranty is actually a cost per call scenario…..
    There is no Apple charge for a warranty issue and the mouse has a one year warranty. Call Applecare back (or take it to a store if they have one close to you). Unless I am badly mistaken, Apple will replace the mouse and pay for shipping both ways (I had one fail a couple of years ago myself). Do identify the call as a warranty issue.
