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.

IPad Mini 2 goes ballistic when being charged -- in other words, it hangs abruptly ; does not type properly. Moreover, in some instances open apps peculiarly force quit without the screen being touched whatsoever.

Hi, RomeroSalsa.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the responsiveness of your iPad mini while charging. I would need a little more information on how you are charging the device to provide a better answer. While the steps below are not exactly labeled for this issue, they may help resolve the issue.
If the battery doesn’t charge
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

HT203176 magic mouse cursor will not move

Magic Mouse cursor will not move. Scroll works. right click works replaced batteries

I'm so sorry but I overlooked your response in the previous post.
I think you there are two options to try.     One;
Reset the SMC (Systems management control)      https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201295 ....
Two: You may have a problem with interference which could be from a TV set, particularly one of the new smart TVs, anything electronic you've either moved into the room or changed its position.   That could include another mouse or trackpad.
Again, sorry.

My cursor does not move to the confirmation box after selecting delete

When selecting 'Delete' for an email for instance, the cursor would then move to the confirmation box but with Firefox 4 this does happen now.

Out of curiosity, are you using 'NoScript' or anything of the like?
This occurrence happened to me on the Google page and I figured out that 'NoScript' was blocking Google therefore not allowing the cursor to activate in the search input field. I simply ''allowed'' Google.com and I had no problem thereafter. Perhaps you have a similar problem.

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

Try printing the page as PDF.
From your Safari menu bar click File > Print > Save As PDF then print the PDF file.

Many users keep their iTunes libraries on external drives. You just have to remember to connect and power up the drive before launching iTunes.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do i output CMY reg marks over BLK master reg mark without the BLK being knocked out on BLK film

how do i output CMY reg marks only CMY films where they are over the BLK master reg mark without the BLK being knocked out on BLK film

You're evidently doing some kind of custom registration, but not explaining what it is.
First, what kind of printing are you doing that requires ten seps (CMYK and six spots)?
By definition, the Registration Swatch prints solid on all seps, both process and spot. But you talk of a CMY registration mark as if it is distinct and separate from K. Don't you also want your CMY seps to be registered not only to each other but also to the K?
You mention a "master" registration (as opposed to…?) needing to appear on the K sep. If a registration mark only appears on a single sep, what is it going to serve to register to; and how if there is no corresponding mark on the other sep(s)?
You seem to be under a not uncommon misconception that separations are somehow associated with Layers. They're not, unless you just want to organize your drawing that way for some reason.
If you want to create your own registration or fold or other printer marks which separate only to specific process inks, simply create and assign Swatches defined with 100% values of the desired component inks. There is no need to set these marks to overprint.
If you want to create your own marks which separate only to specific spot inks, those will need to involve object-level overprinting. You do not have to do that using multiple objects. You can assign multiple Strokes to a single path and set the overprint attribute on the Strokes individually.
It almost sounds like you are designing for screen printing on garments, and want to use registration marks. But because there is no "trim" region on the garment, you are trying to build the files in such a way that the marks end up being overprinted (therefore hidden) by subsequent inks. The default assumption in forums like this is always commercial offset printing. Otherwise, you should always state the printing method for which you are designing and describe the pertinent parameters.
Edit:
>"... this is a silk screen process with each colour applied over the other..."
We were typing at the same time. So it's as I suspected (or similar). Your description of what the printer wants is still confusing.

How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

How do I attach a file to a Mail doc without the file being opened in the Mail document?

You will (often) see a preview of the attachment, depending upon the file type. To get rid of the preview: control click on the attachment select "View as icon".
(What the recipient of your message sees is dictated by that person's email application. If you want to make sure the person gets an attachement which is not previewed, you can zip it (control-click, "Compress...") and then attach the zipped file(s). Or you can try something like Attachment Tamer.)

I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my library. Sorry it cut me off on the title. I want to import songs to put on my brother's ipod, but when I try to delete the song from my library it deletes it from his too. Help?

If you want to delete content from your computer but keep it on the iPod (so that is not deleted next time you connect it to iTunes), you need to set that iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

I attached a .doc file to the message and it appeared as an icon, so I did not have to convert it. I attached a .jpg image — it appeared as a full image, but when I Command+clicked the image, the view as icon window did not appear on the screen. Likewise, I again checked the Mail Menu Bar, and did see 'View as icon.' Side note: I routinely use Mavericks Mail in Classic Mode, so I decided to try both modes. Same results in both modes. I checked my Mail Preferences, but couldn't find anything there, either. I'll continue to look around, but this has me stumped. Thanks for your assistance.
