Hi My trackpad and cursor are behaving eratically. Does anyone know a cure for this or why the problem is occurring

Hi
My cursor is behaving eratically and moving around the screen without me touching the trackpad? Does anyone know a solution to this please?

It is so annoying. It is ok at the moment so it happens now and again. The Macbook is totally unusable when it happens.

    i just updated to osx 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail
    does anyone know how to fix this   (the smpt shows as off line - the certificate shows as none)

    i figured out a solution if anyone is having the same problem
    go to preferences in mail
    pick the mail account that is not sending
    if your outgoing mail server states it offline as mine did
    click the dropdown  and than click edit smtp 
    a window will come up that says account information and advanced
    click advanced
    renter your password and ok
    restart your computer - when it restarts it will send emails 

  • Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.

    Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.
    Background:
      Using FrameMaker 7.1 to create a PDF file where a CS11 barcode file is embedded. PDF generates fine but we get a bunch of squares when we copy and paste the barcode data into Notepad.
      We have CS 2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem. Do I need to install a plugin (if any) for CS11 to get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your feedback.  I was not able to mention earlier that in my line of work, we use Notepad to check if the barcode text is written correctly or if the corresponding text can be found if searched in the PDF... We use FREE3OF9.TTF font when entering text values for the barcode (usually in document/part number format exclusive for our company's use) in AI CS11. After saving the AI file, we attach it in a document using FrameMaker 7.1, then a PDF file is created. The output PDF will be a certification sheet for our products. They (our clients) should be able to scan the document/part number out of the barcode. I'm sorry, I could not divulge any other information so I am not sure if this clears out the issue. It used to work before but I had to get my PC formatted and since then I have been encountering this problem. I am trying to figure out if we missed to install a component or something got messed up after re-installing Adobe Illustrator CS11.

  • HT1338 I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

    My wishlist is not working in the app store on my ipad it is woking fine in itunes store so i can add films and music but the icon "add to wish list" is not available on the app store so does anyone know how to fix this 

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • I get the pinwheel and the program freezes when trying to copy and paste in Word.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Ibo,
    This is what just worked for me:
    In Finder, I've dragged all Pages files from the iCloud Drive to the Documents folder on my iMac. (Finder asks your confirmation to remove the files from iCloud; confirm that)
    Once they were on my local hard drive, the files could be opened again.
    It looks to me as if something has changed in iCloud quite recently, leading to this mess. Not the first time, I've had this before. Now it's back. Sigh. And, as you wrote, it renders iCloud fairly useless. Back to Dropbox I suppose.

  • TS1398 Does anyone know when apple is going to fix the problems their latest update caused with iphone 4s and wifi????

    All the sudden, as i've read many other's have experienced, I can no longer connect to wifi in my own house with my iphone4s.  Nothing goes to the cloud. No matter what I've tried to fix it, nothing.  Any idea when Apple is going to get their act together and get another update to fix the last update????  Anyone have any luck fixing this - it's not a wifi problem.  It's an Apple issue, it was introduced to the device on their last update - what in the world are we supposed to do to fix it?

    I've been on the new IOS since it was released, and have no problems with wifi.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    You might try contacting the local school district's special needs people - this is something they will be familiar with. Also if you have a local cerebral palsy organization they might be able to point you in the right direction. Assistive software and devices do exist but I am too far out of that loop these days to give any specific help.

  • I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread.  Yet I have read all the emails.  Still the iPhone thinks they are unread.  Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    Welcome to AD!
    I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
    The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
    1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
    2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
    3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
    And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.
