My mouse has been acting weird lately

and sort of not being able to center or taking a long time actually move, but other times its fine. I think it may be due to cheap replacement charger I bought from amazon. Anyone know what it could be besides hardware issue?

OK. You are meaning the Track Pad?
Can you describe what you mean by "weird"?
From your description is seems like "jumpy" or "laggy" may be appropriate?
open the application Activity Monitor on the folder "/Applications/Utilities"and click the "Memory" segment at the top. how much memory do you have and how much is used?

My computer has been acting weird lately. Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all angles, does not go into sleep mode sometimes and instead shows on a gray screen definitions of words in 3" letters! Do I have a virus?

Doesn't really sound like a virus.

IPod Touch has been acting weird lately??

Okay, I've had my IPod Touch 4th generation since December 2011. Yes, I have had the IPod for a while now, but it hasn't given me any major problems until now. Ever since a few days ago, I was unable to text, surf the internet, or use social media efficiently because whenever I click on things, it selects others, even when I'm not even close to touching them. I don't think it's uncalibrated, because if it was, the calibration would be seriously bad. When I try texting, it clicks other letters, scrolls through my messages, attempts to delete messages, and when I try to scroll, it sends messages of random letters to my friends! Try explaining to everyone why you keep sending them random letters. I tried rebooting, but that just made these things occur more frequently. I don't have a screen protector on it, and there aren't any major scratches on the screen. It isn't cracked, either. What should I do?

There is not calibration.
Make sure the screen is clean with any screen protector removed.

Hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks n...

hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks now.So is my 2 otherfriends. But specificly one of my friends. I think we are being hacked. Is there any ways i could find out who's doing this and or how can we prevent them from hacking us. Thank you.

Hi there!
"Hacking" of a BB would be highly unusual and unexpected -- if ever. After all, POTUS has one, and such would not be allowed if they were hackable. I believe that something else is going on, but lacking specifics, only generic advice can be given.
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.
Best!

I am using Iphone 5. Since the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal

I am using Iphone 5. SInce the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal or the other way is to turn the device off and then turn it on. the phones also running slow and therefore at times becomes very cumbersome. a few of my friends have also been having the same problems.
I have taken the phone to the service outles but the best they did was to reboot the phone it works fine for a day or two but again the same issue.
Can anyone share any info on it?

I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

My pointer arrow is jumping around. my windows flip. i can't close windows--there are no 3 colored dots.i don't use a mouse. i just downloaded Lion and my mac has been acting weird since.

ALL OF A SUDDEN , MY POINTER ARROW IS OUT OF CONTROL OR WON'T MOVE. I DON'T USE A MOUSE. THE WINDOWS SHAKE LIKE WHEN I'M TOLD I HAVE THE WRONG PASSWORD AND THEN THE WINDOWS FADE, SWITCH AND/OR FLIP AROUND. THERE ARE NOT THE 3 DOTS IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER SO I CAN'T CLOSE WINDOWS WHEN I FINISH WORKING WITH SITES. MY MAC HAS STARTED ACTED WEIRD SINCE I STARTED USING LION. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company. This sounds to be that the hard drive is dying in the iPod. As it is an older iPod it is out of its one year warranty, the iPod won't be repaired for free by Apple, and you'd need to consider wether it'd be better to have the iPod repaired by an iPod repair company such as my own, or to purchase a new one from Apple.
If you did choose to purchase a new iPod from Apple, then they do provide 10% off the cost of a new iPod if you exchange in your old one. I'm not sure if this applies to faulty ones though (I have heard of some people being turned away for having a faulty device).
Hope this helps,
Mark Sweeney

My iPhone 4 has been acting weird since the update to iOS 5.1.1

I charged it to 100% yesterday morning and by the time I went to bed it was at 13%. I didn't do anything I don't normally do. A few games, email, check weather, sports scores; a couple hours of use.
Then this morning I was texting a buddy that's in town and when I got a response my screen just flashed on then off really quick and it make a weird static noise instead of the bell when I went to unlock the phone to read the message. Just before this I changed the volume of the ringer in settings because it sounded really high.
Has anyone else experienced anything weird since updating? I'm trying a reboot and will watch it for a while. Might be time to take it in and have it checked out.

hi Allan,
Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

Ever since the last IOS update, my Iphone 5c has been acting weird. The time is always off; It says that its 9:30 in the morning when it's actually 2pm. I try to fix it, but it just goes back to not working. Please help!!

I go to settings and switch "Automatic time" off and then back on. It works for a while, but then just goes back to being off. I've tried manually setting the time, but it just goes back to what it was before. If I send a text, it sends and then disapears. I can't see what I wrote! I went in to Apple to try and get it fixed, but they just restored my phone. It's still not working. Please help!

It's not hacker or a virus. You are experiencing what a number of users of iOS 5 are experiencing now - sluggish or less than perfect iPad performance. It seems that for some of us - memory management has gotten a little out of whack with this most recent update. Some of the basic troubleshooting steps that you can try are ....
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close apps in the recents tray. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If you have Safari crashing issues - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
None of these steps should be necessary as part of your daily routine - the iOS is supposed to handle all of this without any user input. Once again - for some of us - the iOS is letting us down.
Until Apple releases another update that resolves this issue for the "few" that suffer, keep these steps in mind and use them as needed.

Adobe Flash has been acting funny lately...

I have been having several issues with adobe flash as of late. It's very strange.
First I noticed, that when I try to watch a youtube video that's been embedded say, in facebook. I can hear the sound, but all the graphics to it doesn't show up. It's like it's invisible.
Second thing I noticed, was I tend to frequent webcam chatrooms for fun, and when I try to click "accept or deny" when it asks me if it can access my webcam and mic, it's unresponsive. I can change the settings if I open up the global settings, but anything other than that doesn't work. And there is some sites where doing the global settings thing doesn't work. So. I'm a bit frustrated, and confused. I feel like it came out of no where. I've always kept my flash player up to date.
I am running Windows XP sp3. I use Firefox. I have the latest version.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash. Before doing so, it just showed nothing. Now it shows a black box for a brief second, and then it comes up with a popup about needing Xtra font or something. Gosh. This is annoying. T^T Please help.

Well, you were right about the other thing being shockwave. But I don't see anywhere in the GSM where to allow third party content. And I can't see the one on the official website, so I use the right click option on a flash element. All the options that I can see are set to allow.
My gosh. I've been trying to roll back to a different version of flash, but you guys have made it impossible. T_T
I've been sitting here for hours uninstalling flash, restarting my computer, and trying to re-install flash. As far as I can tell, it's version 11.4 being buggy with firefox. Because it doesn't bug out like this in IE. And that's the only other browser I have, just because I haven't removed it.
Would it be possible to hook a guy up with the first or second versions before this one? Because I'm not liking it.

My ipod has been acting weird like it has been shutting off while plugged in the charging noise and animation have not been playing and it isn't being recognized by any computer even after 3 different cables how do I fix this?

PLZ Help I want to get my Ipod working again.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Help! 10.5.5 has been acting up lately on my MacBook Pro!

Here is the deal! Below are a list of bugs that I notice every so often. Please tell me if you have seen any of them before or think there is a way to fix them:
1) Mail shows that there are two messages at the top of the window, where there is only ONE!
2) MobileMe no longer syncs my contacts with my iPhone.
3) The menu bar occasionally doesn't load and I am left with nothing but a dock and desktop.
4) Certain applications that I have always used perfectly, keep telling me that I have never opened them before when I have at each launch.
5) My desktop occasionally will have these random black horizontal lines that disappear as an active window moves over them.
6) Safari downloads will appear in the downloads list and then cannot be removed unless they are relocated from the download folder.
7) The wi-fi connected will not connect sometimes unless I turn my firewall off and then back on.
What's the deal? Most importantly, how do I fix the contact issue with MM?

A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

My dock has been acting strange lately.

Whenever I open an application that isn't permanently on my dock, it doesn't appear on the dock and when I open an application that is permanently on my dock, such as Safari, the blue indicator light doesn't turn on and if I want to quit the application, I try right-click, "Quit Safari" but it doesn't show the option. My OS system is OS X 10.7.5.
For example there, I have Safari and iTunes open but none of them have the blue indicator light on.
And when I right-click, it doesn't show the usual windows open, "New Window" or "Quit" options.

My iphone has been acting weird for the last few weeks... Slow apps, freezing apps, apps closing, slow texting. Now it has frozen with the white apple in the center and I can't turn it on or reset it???

Please help!!!

Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new phone (without using a backup). If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded, unauthorized unlocking).
