Macbook pro cursor doing stuff by its own?

My macbook pro is behaving odd since couple of days. The cursor is doing funny things. it is automatically zooming in and zooming out while I am on Safari. Also it is doing other stuff i.e. selecting a word and going to look up. it is also hard to control the cursor.
I bought this macbook pro last year, the warranty is expired in Januray 2013.
Anyone can help on this problem?

My phone spazzes and randomly does stuff on its own like typing a bunch of random letters, or scrolling up/down a page, or going out of an app. What can be done about that?

I have a 5S and I've had it since december. ever since i got it I've had trouble whit it. It spaces out at random times, types stuff on its own, goes out of applications, scrolls up/down a page etc. This happens almost daily and the only thing I can do about it is lock my phone, go back in, quit all my apps... Along with that now my touch ID has not been working. Although it has started today, I am worried.

I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?

My macbook pro has been restarting on its own... Been happening again n again? What is the problem and how to solve it?

MacBook Pro logs out repeatedly on its own at startup

Hopefully this question is posted in the appropriate location.
When I start my MacBook Pro, I am asked to insert my password and login.
Upon entering my password, the computer will display the desktop, and applications will begin to open. About 10 seconds after, the computer will log me out, and ask me to sign in again. It does this at least 5 times. After restarting the computer, it will let me in.
I called Apple for support, but the associate said that she has never heard of a problem like this before.
Any troubleshooting ideas?

have you checked for statup items?
if you can login.
apple menu,
system preferences,
Users,
click on the user account from the left hand list
click on the login items tab
if you have applications in that list; they could be causing the issue. (crashing the computer and dumping you back to the login window) try removing any thing in the list. See if it helps.

Macbook pro changes user picture on its own . Help please.

Does this mean I have some sort of malware?
Reccently my mac started changing my user photo on its own. Even more strangely the photos are only from photobooth.

You likely have a corrupt cache file someplace in OS X.
12: OnyX cache cleaning
This routine cleans all possible corrupt caches, doesn't delete your data or programs.
Apple doesn't include a easy for the user, system wide cache cleaning process in OS X, something they need to consider implementing.
So we have to depend upon third party software to do this and the best, time tested and free one is OnyX
Sometimes a corrupted cache file can cause strange behavior, slow machine, Dock and fonts doesn't work, beachballs effect, something won't install, Safari acting up etc., just general strangeness that can't be explained. Web browsing slow when all the other machines are fast etc.,
Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks
Run all the maintenance and cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
If any of the initial checks OnyX does gives a warning, then Stop and report, you have a serious drive or other issue.
This will give OS X a enema of sorts (won't delete file or programs) and let it rebuild all the cache and other files, including Spotlight.
You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues. Don't worry, OS X will work fine (and likely faster again) after the caches are cleaned out and rebuilt from their original sources provided you REBOOT when finished using OnyX.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnyX
List of proven OnyX successes:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18377471?ac_cid=sa123456#18377471
OnyX also has a Verify > Preferences
(plist) file checker, show the corrupt ones and write them down. So while your in OnyX cleaning your caches, check for corrupted plist files too for the next step below.

Macbook pro mouse pointer moving on its own

I was using my mac and suddenly, it moves from left to right on its own.
I don't know what caused the mouse to suddenly move independently, but I must know how to get rid of it.
I tried cleaning off the trackpad, but it didn't work for me.

Hi,
try to check in System Preferences > Energy Saver and set a time interval in "Put the computer to sleep when inactive for...".
If this is set on "never", your computer won't sleep on its own.
Bye,

Macbook pro goes to sleep on its own

I've been having a few problem with my MB pro 17inch (late 2011-2012 2.4 Ghz intel core i7 / 4gb DDR3 - Mountain Lion), it over heats quite often using minimal services and on a few occasions it decided to turn it self to sleep mode, then it boots up iphoto so it can load changing pictures as a screen saver, but the problem is I have never used photos as a screen saver I have all screen savers etc turned off, then I have to relog on any ideas anyone?

Why does my ipad mini keep glitching. We keeps randomly doing stuff on its own while on not even touching it? I've tried restarting it by holding down lock and home button about a thousand times, it never works. so could you please help?? thanks(:

why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:

Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW .... Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.

My Macbook Pro constantly disables fonts of its own accord. Anybody know a fix?

For example every few days Avenir (and others) get disabled and I have to re-enable them in Font Book to use.
I'm on Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

Macbook Pro cursor not aligning with text

My Macbook pro cursor doesn't line up with the text I want to click on. I have to go to the line below for it to click on the correct line. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Macbook wont go to sleep on its own

hi guys...my macbook wont go to sleep on its own. i mean, Energy Saver Preferences is set to turn-off the display in 1 minute, and to make the computer sleep in 3 minutes - but the macbook wont turn off the display or sleep, based on the settings. Bt the way, when i make it sleep (Apple menu or by using Command-Option-Eject), the computer sleeps - no prob when sleep is manually executed.
Help please!
Thanks

Yes. But (a) sometimes you never can, (b) it may be caused by something you need or refuse to part with, and (c) it's just not worth the effort if there is an simple alternative solution.
In my case I think (not 100% sure other than a usb cause) was/is (b); a non-apple usb wired keyboard with its own usb ports or a bluetooth dongle plugged into my 27"s usb port. I am not about to part with either of them. And it just wasn't worth my time narrowing it down any further if that was at all possible so (c).
hi, i take your points, given you start your reply with "yes".
i'm in a similar boat and i've spent far too long scouring the apple discussions for a solution (with some issues you're better off googling than coming here for truth). i have also got a case open with my applecare coverage but the responses so far have verged on ignorant (i think they respond badly so you go away), so on we go.
i'm astounded that the terminal command pmset -g doesn't always provide an answer, but it seems a decent part of the solution. checking over the console and activity help too.
i've never had the issue with other hardware, so it must be a combo regarding the newer stuff + lion, wouldn't you say?

This is an odd one, does Logic have its own clock?

Hey all,
This is one for the books over here. Does Logic have its own clock? Not as in clocking, 44.1 48 etc. Not in that respect, but rather does Logic have its own "date and time" clock separate from OS X?
Here's what's happening...
We have two rooms here. Identical. Writing done in "A" gets sent over to "B", cleaned up, sent back over to "A" etc etc. So in the "A" room, a cue comes from "B" with a last opened time of last night at 10:00 pm. A last modified time of 10:15 pm last night. That's the data if you get info on it from a finder window. Now with Logic open if you "open" a cue from Logic, navigate to where this cue is at, it says that the cue was last opened TONIGHT at 9:40pm (which is in the FUTURE) and last modified TONIGHT at 9:55pm (also in the FUTURE). We've caught it now, and things seem to be okay if you open a cue from the finder window and not from Logic->File->Open. A cue was opened from Logic yesterday, two hours of work done, saved often, and when it was closed and then opened again after lunch, none of the work was present. And the date and time modified was again in the future. So SO weird. Cleared prefs, repaired permissions. Still happening. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips? Advice? Does Logic have its own clock? We're baffled.
Any help is greatly appreciated as always!
Best wishes,
the Earle-Tones Music crew

Brent, thanks for seconding in here. Sometimes this kind of you'd-never-expect-it-to-happen-weirdness can be easily written off as some kind of itinerant digital voodoo without this kind of corroboration.
So while we're on the subject of the finder lying... Folders are no picnic either.
If you create a folder and never open it but throw a bunch of stuff into it within the same minute that it's created, its creation date and modification date will be the same. But the simple act of opening that folder for the first time can cause its mod date to change. Or, if you go into that folder and re-organize some items, or rename some items, the folder's modification date will also change.
This means that if you have a bunch of folders contained within another folder (the "containing folder"), and you re-organize/re-name items within those folders, you can't count on the modification date of any one of the contained folders to indicate the order in which they were originally created. Because of this behavior you'll want to view by date created. But I still can't get my head around the idea that manipulation of data within a folder causes the attributes of the containing folder to change.
This may have some bearing on your current situation... or then again, maybe not LOL! : - )

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps.
