MS-8348 with a mind of its own

I am puzzled by my computer - bought combination but WindowsXP with MS-8348
I use Windows XP for burning, but if I change discs the computer does not recognise that the discs have changed and refuses to burn the second set, unless I restart the computer.
Sometimes when I turn on, the CD comes on and will not turn off.
The computer insists the drivers are uptodate and the driver CD has nothing more modern.
Any ideas?

What is your computer's spec, if you do not list it out, it is hard to help you .

Iphone with a mind of its own! HELP

I've had my iphone for a few months now and it has developed a mind of its own. It will turn on whenever it likes and drain my battery. It freezes while I am scrolling and if I am surfing the web, it will boot me out back to my home screen. This past week I made an appt with apple and they said there is nothing wrong with my phone. Hmmmmm.
Now today I am sitting here at work with my iphone next to me and ti turned on and now there is this daisy looking icon on my screen and I can't turn it off. I never touched my phone and now if I try to slide my bar to unlock it, it does nothing. Has anyone seen this icon its in the middle of my screen and looks like a daisy.
BTW, I've never downloaded anything to my phone and all the updates are current.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I've been having a similar but less extreme problem - just turning itself on and draining the battery, peeps at Apple store saw no problem, even though the phone can rack up 2 hours of use (as recorded in the phone) during 10 hours of absolutely no use. I made my own post of the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1380312&tstart=0
Someone in the other guys thread suggested re-installing iTunes. I don't know about that. I restored the phone to no effect. the 'home' button pushing itself could explain your problems (and mine), except for the daisy - and it sounds like a reboot fixed that. Software is finicky and sometimes you just have to reboot. Quite honestly, software these days is too large to be fully tested.

Object with a mind of its own

hi....
i have two objects currently sharing a layer, and i have used various behaviours and filters on them already, separately as individual objects AND together as a layer. no problem UNTIL i tried to change the rotation of one of the objects in the properties tab of the inspector. the other object changed its position on the screen, without my assigning it to do so. according to ITS properties tab, it still has the same x and y coordinates as before......and its bounding box has not moved from the original position......but the object itself has definitely moved horizontally halfway across the screen. now why would it do that?
i mac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) motion 1, final cut pro 4.5

On your Rotate behavior, do you have the "Affect Objects" checked or unchecked?

IWeb with a mind of its own!- not updating

Grrrrrrr!!!I have spent a few hours updating my site. Now, it is finished publishing... but when I visit the site, NO CHANGE> I did get a message that it couldn't read a certain pic. But that was only once. I changed a small thing, published again and no message about the pic, but also, no change on the site. HMMM. Is this program conscious? lol
Also, people are having a hard time getting on the RSS feed ( for the Blog site- the GOOD life). Does it work for you? Comes up with an error message of sorts.
My URL is www.cdgoodart.com
the whole thing is http://web.mac.com/omegadawn
It should have an angel pin on the first page at cdgood art. and all pics neatly in a box, centered on the page.
Thanks a billion in advance
macbook Mac OS X (10.4)

I frequently experience the same issue. In fact, sometimes it shows me a site I created months ago. What I do is go to my .Mac page and observe that the page names are at least the ones I had named them if that was part of the change. Then I launch from there and sometimes that solves the problem. Another drastic measure I have taken is to create an idential page again and copy-and-poast the content from the old to the new and then delete the old page. I hope someone can come up with a better idea.
Good luck.

I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unuseable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unusable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up 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 restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer 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 without delay.
8. 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.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that 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.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

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
Mel

Hello 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...

After downloading ios 7.2 my iPad mini seems to have a mind of its own. I'm not sure what to do to fix this problem. Can someone please help me.

I updated my iPad mini to ios 7.0.2 couple days ago. Everything was fine until yesterday. I noticed that it seemed to have a mind of its own. It kept opening and closing app. I'm not sure what to don to fix this problem. I've tried restoring my iPad mini but that didn't help. Can someone please help me?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...

New Ipad 2 32gb Screen has a mind of its own!!!!

Hi, i got a ipad 2 32gb today and sometimes the screen seems to have a mind of its own. It switches randomly between different pages without me touching it, I have tried a rstore but it is still doing it. Just wondered if anyone else is having or has had this problem?????

Well that certainly isn't good. One thing I would suggest if you haven't tried already is calibrating the screen. Menu>Settings & Tools>Touch Settings>Calibration. This helps mostly if you are having issues with the screen thinking you are pressing a different part of the screen, but doesn't hurt to try. Also, make sure you have the current software version VX11VKV11. You can check by going to Settings & Tools> Phone Info>SW Version. If you have an older version choose software update. If you are still having issues, then this is a hardware issue and the phone will need to be replaced.

Hi People. I was doing my walk and listening to music using my 4s when in the middle of a song, the volume control would just automatically slide back to zero like it has a mind of its own. What gives?

When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own. If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice. It puts periods when I don't want it to. And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own. If I press a letter sometimes it puts the letter twice. It puts periods when I don't want it to and if I hesitate, the keyboard starts erasing everything I just typed. Is there a setting I need to change to make this go away?

What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.

How do I stop the cursor from having a mind of its own?

I just received this computer T400. A mac user wswitching over to pc - not famliar with the land. I am using a notebook and the cursor clicks on its own when I let it rest and then transports me to whatever information/page that it happens to rest upon. needles to say this is very tiring. I have tried to go to the help section and there is not informaiton about how to stop this from happening. There is informaiton for mouse control. The information I found on the cursor only spoke to the rate of blinking.
also, I would like to incluse word in my start up programs and can't figure out how to do that.
the cursor information would be most useful to me at the moment. Thank you.

onlinebabe, welcome to the forum,
you probably need to turn off or adjust the sensitivity of tapping in the UltraNav Touchpad properties. Go to Control Panel > Mouse and select the UltraNav tab and adjust the settings.
Do you mean that you want word to start automatically when windows starts? Right click in an empty area of the task bar and choose properties > Start Menu > Customise and add Word to your Autostarts folder.
Hope this helps
