IMac phantom please help search and mouse on its own

Hi,
my iMac has gone crazy. Opening spotlight search. Characters. And search in finder all on its own. When on a web browser its scrolls to the bottom of the page on its own. The right mouse button Magic Mouse function has become the left click and right click.
i Know iMac shouldnt get virus or malware but it sure feels like it has ?
any help greatly appreciated

Had logitech wireless adaptor in usb think this may have been the culprit. Have unplugged and will try again if this helps anyone reading this is the future.

  • Please help, computer turns off on its own!

    New generation aluminum iMac turns off when it wants. It has happened 3 times now when I am using the computer it will just shut off.
    I do not turn the computer off, as I never have with macs, but always put it to sleep when I am not using it.
    After it turns off, I am able to turn it right back on using the power button and all seems to be normal.
    Any ideas for me!? Please!

    I'm glad someone else is having this problem. Mine has shut down 3 times as well. Each time I'm doing something different - so I doubt it's related to programs that are running, etc . . .
    Today I called AppleCare - they had me reset the SMC and PRAM as well as a couple other software things.
    It hasn't happened again - yet - but it has only happened about once every 2-3 days.
    I'll keep following for other good ideas!

  • Imac keps awaking from sleep and I think its the magic mouse

    Hiya
    My imac (2008) keeps waking up and I think its the magic mouse doing it. Does anyone have any ideas and solutions?

    Hello um:
    The logs will indicate what is happening. I have a similar problem (rare, but it happens). I have traced the wake event to a USB hub that contains the Bluetooth hardware. I ignore the issue as it happens infrequently. I do not know of a setting that would cause this to happen.
    You could try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting. That probably will not help, but it will not hurt anything.

    Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
    You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
    You should let it dry for  a week or so, then try.

  • My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own!

    Help!
    My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own! No matter what my settings are under 'Energy Saver', the computer will NOT go to sleep. Rather, the monitor will just turn off and the white light on the front of the computer will come on. The white light does not 'throb', so I know it isn't sleeping.
    I'm not running any weird applications preventing it from sleeping, I've tried booting in safe mode, and I've tried resetting the SMC.
    This is a RECENT problem - I think it started occurring after installing the 1.0.1 firmware OR Mac OS 10.4.6 update. Does anyone else have this problem??
    AHH! Thanks for your help!
    Jonathan

    Hey everyone -
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    David.Austin - yes, my power LED does not fluctuate, so I know the computer isn't sleeping, the display is just 'off'. I do have all my disks set to go to sleep. This is a recent problem - everything used to work just fine.
    joejoe - I haven't yet tried zapping the PRAM (or NVRAM), but I give that a shot and reset the SMC (SMU) again. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to do a... re-install.
    I'll report back with my results. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.
    Agreed - there is something wrong with one of those two updates.

  • My monitor screen scrolls up and down on its own by it's self? How do I stop it?

    How do I fix a monitor screen scrolling up and down on its own?

    Sabrasam,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I want you to try a factory reset on the monitor if you haven’t attempted one already.
    1.       Press the Menu down in the bottom right corner of the monitor.
    2.       Once the on screen display appears toggle down to factory reset.
    3.       Select on that option
    You might see your monitor go dark a couple times but that is normal. Test it out after the reset.
    If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks

    If restoring  "as new" using itunes on the computer fails then you willneed a repair. Restoring backup may cause issues so test as new first. Contact apple https://expresslane.apple.com/

    Try the standard fixes:

    Reset iPod touch:  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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
