Keyboard issue with cursor jumping to point on the page when typing

When I type on my notebook keyboard (HP Pavilion dv6-6167cl) it frequently jumps somewhere else in the area where I previously typed causing me to stop and correct what it did and move back to where I intended to type. I have the latest driver for my Synaptics Touchpad driver already. Any idea why this happens. This is my second laptop, different manufacturers where I've had this same problem so I'm beginning to think it's a common issue with notebooks. Any suggestions? Thanks.

tdunnusa,
It may be inherent to the way in which you use the devices (keyboard and Touch/ClickPad). Maybe not ... the drivers are not perfect. We can all attest to adventures with Clickpad mystery entries..
Depending on the level of touch sensitivity (located under Pointing)
AND the level in the PalmCheck-Enhanced ACM setting, things can get a bit weird; even touching the surface lightly can set the mouse cursor off course.
Consider / try the following:
In your Synaptics Settings > Properties,
Open the Pointing section,
Click on Sensitivity (to highlight) >> click on Spikey blue wheel (Sensitivity settings) >
Set the sensitivity level way over to the right side (Less sensitive)
Apply
Next:
Click to Open PalmCheck-Enhanced ACM >> click on Spikey blue wheel (settings)
Slide the PalmCheck over to the RIGHT to Max
Apply
Youcan adjust the Advanced filter zone - that is, control where you can use the TouchPad for certain gestures and how long it takes for the zone to activate. This can help for particular kinds of gestures, though it won't help for accidentally contact like brushing the surface with the palm of your hand.
These settings, when set to maximum,are likely too extreme - they may give you an idea whether the issue is related to how you are using the TouchPad.
Kind Regards,

Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding.
I have a iPhone 6 plus with 113 gig and 65 gig available
This same issue is causing problems when downloading articles on facebook and instagram app.
We also noticed this same issue on Macbook Air, and iMac, iPad 2, and iPhone 5s.
I also have the Mac Pro without these issues but it is connected by ethernet instead of wireless.
Is wifried back and now plaguing all devices?
I selected mac because, I was tried of all the PC issues with new updates. It seems mac is now lowering its quality to that of PC.
We need a fix for this ASAP!

I have tried resetting my Iphone 6 Plus by holding both the off and select buttom. This did not help.

The cursor jumps to a different section of the page when typing

Whenever I type either in emails or on web pages, while typing the cursor either jumps to an earlier section of the text I am typing and my text appears there, or the view of the page jumps to the end of the page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Word 2008 for MAC, cursor starts in middle of the page, cant fix it

Hi, in Word for Mac 2008, this just started today, I have had this version on for almost a year. the cursor starts in middle of the page when you open Word, Icant fix it, I reinstalled 3-4 times, and even made a new disc from the other MAC, which works. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you restarted your computer? (Restarting is a cure for many minor ailments.)
Have you tried deleting Word's prefs? (Prefs sometimes get corrupted. If deleted, the app will recreate them with the default options.)

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched.
Try turning off your Bluetooth mouse or other nearby devices, especially if you find the cursor on your screen jumps or moves without the trackpad being touched. The cursor may also act strangely when the trackpad is touched.
The closest I found to a solution was in an old support article from March 2009 (TS1449), but it was through pure luck and MacGuyverism that I figured out my wireless Mighty Mouse was still on, nearby and thought it might be interfering with the signal to/from the Magic Trackpad. Sure enough. Turned it off and the problem instantly went away! Turned it on and the problem came back. Not sure if more distance would make a difference, but I saw no need for both on my desk anyway.

I have the same issue, but my mouse is turned off. I put the pad off to the side just to make sure. I just tried removing my mouse from the Bluetooth preferences. I've never had trouble with the mouse jumping before, but I do with the Magic Trackpad.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

Issue with VO which is attached to the picklist

Hi,
Currently i have an issue with VO which is attached to the picklist
if i try to attach the same VO (but query changed) to diff picklists , the picklists are overridden with last executed query (all the code is inside a loop)
while(rs.next()) {
String lookupDefn=rs.getString(2);
if (lookupDefn!=null) {
id="InputValue_Lookup"+count_lookup;
OAMessageChoiceBean oamessage=(OAMessageChoiceBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive(id);
oamessage.setPickListCacheEnabled(false);
if (oamessage!=null) {
ElementInputValuesVOImpl oaviewobject = (ElementInputValuesVOImpl)am.findviewobject(ElementInputValuesVO1)
if(!(oaviewobject ==null))
oaviewobject.setWhereClause("lookup_type = '" + lookupDefn + "'");
oaviewobject.executeQuery(); //Setting where clause Dynamically of Poplist VO
// System.out.println("Query is"+);
oamessage.setPrompt(rs.getString(1));
oamessage.setListViewObject(pageContext, oaviewobject);
oamessage.setListDisplayAttribute("Meaning");
oamessage.setListValueAttribute("lookup_type");
oamessage.setPickListCacheEnabled(false);
any one please help :)

Use different instances of the VO for each picklist.

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

This should help. Good Luck.

HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Question
After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

From then on it is not working.
Any solutions?

when i pluged my ipod classic 5g to PC then it shows “iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. you must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes”?then after restoring the PIOD when IPod restarted then Itunes again detect the same ERROR.

If you are using XP, and you went through the procedure at the bottom of the previously linked document to change the iPod's assigned drive letter, and you also tried putting it into Disk Mode...
If you have not already, try shutting down your computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub. Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected. Just to be safe, put the iPod into Disk Mode again
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer. iTunes may prompt you about "recovery" and ask you to do a Restore. Try to do a Restore again.

You most likely installed adware along with something else you recently installed.
You can either follow Apple's manual instructions for removing it, or the free automated tool, AdwareMedic.
