Mouse Jumping to corner on its own (TX2000 tablet PC)
HP needs to repair or replace my HP TX2000. The mouse cursor keeps jumping to the bottom right corner of the screen on its own. I realised that there is a lot of heat generated in that corner of the base keyboard for some reason, which probably makes the mouse jump there. the mouse works perfectly when I rotate the screen away from that corner, but obviuosly that makes it extremely awkward to work, with the screen angled in another direction and the Del, BkSpace keys hiding behind the screen! Ofcuorse, this heat is the culprit, and a strange design flaw of the unit!
This question was solved.

After opening up... someone else's... tx2110us, I found there is a small conductive foil on the underside of the plastic part underneath the screen. The only use I can figure for this small sheild in such a specific place is to block EM interference from affecting the tablet in exactly the way we've experienced.
What I can't figure out is why the shield is so small; if it extended a small bit (~ one inch) more, it would completely cover the power conditioning circuitry below. This modification, coupled with the fact that the keyboard backplane acts as a sheild, would mean that emissions from the motherboard would be completely blocked from affecting the screen.
The only explanation I can figure for this is some miscommunication during the design process. Fortunately, this should be a really easy fix, and super cheap to retrofit (simply print off a bunch of larger adhesive sheilds to be placed under the plastics.

Trackpad mouse moving on its own and creating new folder on desktop
This stared a few weeksd ago, I've lost control of my macbook pro as my mouse has a mind of its own.
The laptop barely(or even not at all) responds to my control. It's like there was somebody else controlling my mouse, my keyboard works fine however. The guy hacking me looked at my mailbox, dropped a few things from the dock, made a new folder on the desktop and opened my photos. I've tried everything including turning off wi-if, my reuter and under "system preferences" unclicked "sharing" of anything. I also took it to the genius bar to have my laptop wiped and updated to OS X Mountain Lion.
Last week, my mouse again started to move on its own and created a new folder on my destop.
I don't know if anyone has the same experience...and if so, please let me know what is going on and is there a solution?
Thank youWoah, I just got this really sketchy email a few hours later. It's a bounce back from an invalid address, but it includes the previous few messages too... these guys are definitely speaking in some sort of code.
I pasted it on this google doc for your inspection, pretty crazy. Do you think it could be related to this cursor moving incident? Did I get remotely hacked or something?

The mousepad lives its own life, help!!
My mouse jumps around and live their own life, it seems to say the least quite frustrating.
Just when I think I press "no thanks" to this or that, the mouse, ie coursen, jumped on the "yes"
Sometimes it is just small jumps coursen making, other times it is across the entire screen.
Even when I'm not actively control the mouse / coursen happens that it moves across the screen.
Then sometimes I would rather do nothing, but still make something.
It makes it a little at times, but for example. 3-4 days without and then maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour when it does it. Have tried MacKeeper where it finds an error during virus rubric, but have not bought it, so do not know if it can help? It is now worse, but since writing this post right now, without problems?
Have updated to Mac OS X 10.7.4, as it teased a period of 1-2 months ago but nothing has helped?
What can I do? If I reset my computer works again or is it something hardware does not work anymore? The computer is nearly a year old.
Sincerely LasseUninstall MacKeeper before you do anything. I'm not saying that it's the cause of your problems, but get rid of it nonetheless.
See - Do Not Install MacKeeper and How to Uninstall MacKeeper.
Get rid of it immediately. It is insidious malware.

Jumpy slow mouse and keyboard that has a mind of its own
Hi Folks
Please bear with me, I am not a computer geek but a mature lady who opted for a mac years ago and now has a mac family!
My current imac is running on OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB Memory
Over the past few months if I leave my mac on overnight (as I usually do), soon enough the mouse starts jumping and is irratic so I find I can't land on anything to open or shut it down. The keyboard also becomes possessed with a will of its own.
My son was the one who got me onto a mac as he said they don't get viruses (but that was some 12 years ago with my first one).
I did download Mackeeper 2012 which said I was critical at every stage and I tried rectiving it with mackeeper but it said I had done what I could with the free trial version so I was going to pay for it and thought hey.... just check out the reviews etc and because the Mac experts didn't give it a good rating and said it was crap I sent it to trash.
Any ideas on what my problem is and please bear in mind that I'm not an expert, can bake a cake but lost with computers.
Many thanks
MelHello Mel,
I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
You really really need to uninstall it, but not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

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). -
Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes
I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position). -
hey,
does anyone have the same problem?
my mouse on the screen moves on its own and presses random buttons:( so annoying
I haven't had this computer even a year and its giving me a problem.
I use logitec wireless mouse. is there anything i need to set up in the preferences?
thank youThere are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
7. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
8. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
9. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
10. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. -
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.

The mouse moves on its own and the screen freezes and zooms in and out.
About 2 months ago I bought a new macbook pro and over the last couple of days it has produced all these problems!
The screen jolts and freezes and only has gradual movement and zooms in and out on a page and the mouse also freezes and moves on its own. This usually happens when I am on the internet.
Its happened twice now where it works perfectly fine and then all of a sudden it happens.
Has anyone else had this before? Is it a virus?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!About 2 months ago I bought a new macbook pro and over the last couple of days it has produced all these problems!

Has anyone else developed the problem of an over-sensitive MacBook AIr cursor? In the last few days mine has developed a mind of its own, and when you move it to the desired spot it can jump quite randomly. In mail, I try reply but it's jumped to "fwd" instead! Irritating.

Even after installing new batteries and switching it on my magic mouse does not work. Sometimes it works but switches off (indicator light goes off) on its own after a few minutes.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse jumps and moves erraticlly on screen
Hello,
I am having problems with my Magic Mouse (cursor, pointer) jumping around on my screen when i attempt to use it. I checked preferences and the connection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how do we remedy this annoying problem?I was about to post this same question and then I found this thread.
Magic Trackpad was working great, I love using it.
Then one day after a week or so of use it starts acting erratically.
I assumed it was the batteries (although still above 70%) and changed them. Yet with fresh batteries reporting 100% it still refuses to take input and does its own erratic thing.
I've had to switch it off constantly today because even when I switch to using the trackpad on my MBP (Core2duo Nov '06 model) the pointer jumps about on the screen and worse still "clicks", on things which causes mayhem.
The suggestion of the USB power doesn't seem to affect me as all I have is the Apple aluminium keyboard plugged into my MBP. No other bluetooth devices being used or nearby. It's happened at 3 different locations too I can't blame interference from anything nearby
Shame as I had thought Apple had finally produced a "mouse" that was worth of their brand and reputation.
