Mouse pointer moving of own accord

Hi all,
Recently a strange problem manifested itself. Whenever I click and hold on the trackpad, the mouse pointer on screen moves straight downwards at a slow speed. However, it seems only confined to my admin account and not any newly created users. This points to something not hardware related but some other software/preferences issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Why my mouse can't show scroller when the mouse point moving to right side?(Safari 8.0)

It's very annoying for me in Safari of Yosemite about scrolling by other brand mouse.
When I'm using other brand mouse(3 keys), my mouse point swing to the right side in Safari being ready for showing scroller,
but nothing happen. My habit will be using left mouse key to scroll if I don't use my trackpad.
My only way now is that scrolling my middle key of mouse making scroller show up and click the little bar, but it doesn't feel like previous version.

Check your settings in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click

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,

Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

Win 7 64, new drivers with Microsoft Optical Trackball, 3.6.16 ok, cann't use ver 4 since download freezes unless mouse pointer is repeatedly moved.

When I installed Firefox 4 I noticed that the downloads kept freezing. I noticed that whenever I moved the mouse pointer the download would resume. When the download freezes I could leave it for 20 minutes or more and the download would not complete. When I paused the frozen download and restarted it the download completed.
After reverting back to Firefox 3.6.16 I no longer have this problem with downloads. Is there a conflict with the Microsoft mouse driver and Firefox 4 in Windows 7 64 environment?

Hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

thank you, i have tried you suggestion but it is still just prompting me to restart rather than allowing me to install the os from the os boot disk. the problem began when the macbook was just showing me a folder icon with a question mark on it rather than starting normally. reading through forums lead me to replace the hard drive and hard drive data cable to try and resolve the issue. however, even after having done this the folder with the question mark is still appearing. i cannot get the os istall disk to boot properly. it recognises that the disk is in the drive but continually prompts me to restart and wont allow me to boot from the disk. sorry if my previouse discription wasnt accurate. does this soun familliar and can you help with this more detailed discription of the problem? thank you.

I try to move a program to the dock, but the symbol gets "glued" to the mouse pointer/cursor and can't be moved. What is wrong?

Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once

when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?

This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

Motifs in illustrator CC moving around the artboard of their own accord! Help!

I'm designing some motifs in Illustrator CC but every few minutes the design moves either left or right, entirely of its own accord. I'm using a PC, touch pad only and this is sometimes happening when I'm not touching the computer at all. Any help would b appreciated. Thank you.

The latest flash plugin 10.3.181.34 makes my mouse pointer disappear when pointer not moving (Windows Vista) - any thoughts?

When I start firefox 6.0 beta, the mouse pointer disappears once firefox has initialized itself. If I move the mouse pointer, it reappears, then disappears again when it is at rest.
If I disable the flash plugin, the mouse pointer behaves normally, i.e. it is always visible.

Firefox 5.0 does the same thing as stated above.

Color changes when moving mouse pointer

Hi,
I have an issue that, when I move the mouse pointer over the controls of the video (when playing quicktime movies in full screen) that it goes darker and looks a lot better!
But as soon as I move the cursor away from the controls, the image becomes brighter, loses contrast and on the side is a green oder pink stripe.
Funny is, it does that in quicklook too, but not only in full screen!
the weirdest thing ever is... it did that on my old windows machine too!!!!!
I thought when I buy a mac it will go away... but apparently not... very disappointing!
I have googled the whole internet, but apparently I am the only one with this issue... or maybe not?
Can anyone provide any help??

Okay guys, after waiting for two years, QuickTime X fixed this!

Is anyone experiencing screen flicker when entering a search or moving mouse pointer towards results on google search page?

I have a new medion laptop and have version 4 of firefox installed
and am noticing that when conducting a search from tool bar (google) my screen flickers after pressing the enter key or when I move my mouse pointer towards the google results.
I do not get the same problem when using either internet explorer or google chrome, suggesting that either firefox or one of its plug ins is to blame!
I carried out the same search for the word Apple all using the google search engine preference.
Interested to know if anyone can help

Excellent suggestion to disable Add-ons. The problem on my system was the "Optimize Google" add-on. I went to the add-on's home page and it's defunct, so we can't expect updates that will fix the problem. So I deleted it from my system and everything is rosy.

My OWN mouse pointer movie issue

so when its louding the movie work apper my mouse that i made,now i want to put some code in to dessepear compleatly when i get out of the movie with the pointer on the all borders!...

Mine works similarly, but that exampole you link to appears to use location detection to start a tween that makes the object gradually disappear. I say this because the distance from the edge where it stops and fades differs every time. It most likely is set to occur at some distance less than the actual width and height of the stage since it does not happen at the edge, always somewhere before it.
So you could use a conditional to test if you want to change the alpha...
Mouse.hide();
pointer_mc.startDrag(true);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
      if(_xmouse < 5 || _ymouse < 5 || _xmouse > Stage.width-5 || _ymouse > Stage.height-5){
            pointer_mc._alpha = 0;
      } else {
            pointer_mc._alpha = 100;
