OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC 2014

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC. When trying to click on a specific line of code in a js file the cursor ends up in a different place in the script and several lines of code highlighted. Clicking again jumps the mouse to a different position and even more lines of code highlighted and some characters rearranged, breaking the lines of code. Very frustrating.

Preran,
I am having the same issue. I have a MBP connected to 2 x Dell 27" monitors over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. Once I updated to OS X 10.10.2 this cursor highlight/jumping around issue only occurs on the connected monitors. If I move the program to the main laptop display the issue goes away. It does not require me to restart the program or the machine to make it work correctly. One way I am able to identify the issue is if I go to the line numbers in code like I wanted to select multiple lines - in the one that works correctly, the cursor turns into a white version where the tip of the cursor points to the right. When it is wrong, the cursor stays black and will only have the tip point to the left. Its just another way I identified if it was working cause I tried uninstalling DW and reinstalling - didn't work. Reset preferences as you discussed - no go. And I used other editors like IntelliJ and Adobe Edge Code - all of which work fine and don't display this issue.
I tried the preferences reset you suggest and it doesn't work. I have another machine with OS X 10.10.1 on it and this issue is not there on any monitor. Any help with this ASAP as it pretty much stops you from being able to do any editing especially with longer pages as it consistently wants to page up when you select anything and if you then click again in another area it tries to move the highlighted code to that new spot.
Update: I have a USB Microsoft Arch touch mouse connected (always worked just fine). When I go to place my cursor at some point in the code it causes the highlight flicker. If I switch over and use the built in trackpad, then I can place the cursor without the highlight issue. When trying to select multiple lines or sections of code, that still see's the highlight, page up and move of code issues regardless of input type.

Macbook 10.6.8 the mouse keeps jumping around and also gets stuck and won't move at all, HELP

I have a macbook 10.6.8 and the mouse is malfunctioning. It is jumping around without me touching the trackpad, and then at times I can't move the mouse at all. Has this happenned to anyone and what do I do?

An irratic trackpad can be a symptom resulting from a swollen battery as these can expand then press upward toward the trackpad area and affect its function. If it is tight and ill-fitting, that may be the problem. These can open and leak stuff, too; so to see if an Apple Store genius or other expert can help determine that is the issue, and to get a replacement if it is, would be important.
Unplug AC before removing, be sure MacBook is shut down. If bad, leave it out.
Check the computer w/o battery to see if the trackpad issue changes.
Have you tried the computer with a USB mouse (if the battery looks OK when removed & inspected to see if the sides are flat when set against a table top) to see if the same kinds of odd behavior continue, even if you go into the Trackpad preference panel and have the input ignored in the settings?
I use a wired USB mouse with my MacBook but do not have the trackpad settings on ignore input. Mine does not have the original battery, and I do remove these on occasion and look in the compartment to check it.
And then there's this. Worth mentioning, but doesn't seem likely...

Mouse pointer jumping around and dock icon graphics tops breaking up

i been noticing my mac acting funny, at 1st i dismissed it as no big deal but now it has become more frequent. instead of happening occasionally its happening constantly. my mac has been in the exact same location since i owned it and my mouse surface hasnt changed. theres no debris i can see in the mouses eye. its like the computer is freezing then releasing the pointer. i cant even guess about why the dock icon graphic tops are breaking up. i ran my permissions and all is fine there. anyone else know what it could be? thanks for any help.

sweet the dock icons are full again. so far so good about the mouse. i forgot a couple months back i deleted my system folder(duh) and never reinstalled the techtool. i guess i paniced thinking something malicious was attacking my comp. sorry for assuming the worst. thanks for setting me straight.

Mouse arrow jumps around on the screen

mouse arrow jumps around on the screen

My iMac is unusable! If I click on a file the highlite runs down to the last file in the folder
When I boot up the hilight jumps all over the screen until it arrives at my startup drive.
If I type something and make an error it cannot be corrected, the cursor dances back to the begining of the sentence.
When clicking on the tool bar, eg. Safari "file" the cursor moves to all the other menu bar options.
I use "MacKeeper" for virus control. For a while it wouldn't load. Zeobit was able to correct that problem by remotely going into my computer and fixing everything the needed to be fixed. They solved that problem and the computer seemed fine. MacKeeper is currently checking all of my drives and partions. They also updated my virus library. This was yesterday (9/15/2012).
I scanned my startup disk this morning and it was clean. I also scanned two of my external drives as well as my internal drive. So far all are clean. 7 Drives to go.
I am running OSX 10.8.1 on an early 2008 iMac.
4 GB RAM
1.5 GB startup drive
3 external drives running on UBS via two docks.
3 External WD 2T external drives.
3 MyBooks drives via Firewire.
A total of 9 external drives with 15 partitions. All are Western Digital.
There has never been an issue with this configuration. I've been using Apple products since the "Fat Mac", twenty or so years. So I know my way around my macs, at least enough to solve any problems that have occured.
There are no authorized Apple techs in the country of Panama. Would sure appreciate help on this.
Thank you,

Mouse & Screen Jump around at various times

If I left my mouse stand still the mouse cursor will jump around. Also, the screen will automatically switch screens moving to the left or to the right to a new screen or sit there half way. It's happening while typing this message. Also the mouse pad on the laptop is diabled at times.
Very frustrating as it is difficult to get work done with the mouse jumping around and screen moving in different directions.
Seems like the Lion Software is possessed

I have the same problem. Brand new imac and I'm new to Lion and hate it so far. I'm trying to do painstaking graphics work and the window and/or cursor start leaping around. And I can't figure out any cause. It often happens when I've leaned back to look at the graphic so I'm not touching anything. Possession? Maybe. Faulty battery? No.
Sorry to hear that your cursor too has started "acting up." Commiserations. However, I'm glad to read that you've positively identified the fact that a faulty battery is not the culprit. Good on you! I can only reiterate that, when this exact same problem happened on my MacBook all those months ago, my battery replacement (free from Apple, because it was under warranty) stopped the problem.

Mouse cursor jumping around

My cursor on my MacBook Pro at times jumps around and the screen size changes without warning. Also, the screen will jump from safari to desktop without warning. I have changed settings in system preferences back to the most basic settings and this has seemed to solve some problems.

I had a similar problem with a wired mighty mouse at a former job, and a current co-worker is having this happen with her wired mighty mouse as well.

On my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse, on my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse

Having trouble with my MacBook Pro and the cursor jumping around and doing it's own thing. Clicking opening up other folders etc.

There 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. 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.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
8. 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.
9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Bug: Secondary monitor caused Mouse to jump

On my iMac, (Snow Leopard) when I plug in a secondary monitor into the mini port at the back, all mouses will jump every few seconds.
The mouse pointer skipped 4 or 5 cm at a time.
Unplugging the monitor makes the issue go away instantly.
I have tried different monitors and connections. No change.

I checked my monitor settings and found one for DDC/CI Support. If you see this setting, turn it off - so far, so good - no more jumpy mouse.

Mouse pointer jumping around the screen

My mouse pointer has just started jumping around the screen. It vibrates and slowly moves down the screen even if I am not touching it. I have cleaned the sensor but that has not helped. I unplugged it and the pointer still jumped around.
Any ideas what might be causing this as I have not seen quite this problem on other discussions.

HI,
That's interesting... restart your iMac. See if that makes a difference.
Also, do you have anything nearby that might cause interference, like a cell phone or graphics tablet?
May sound crazy, but dust and lint build up on a mouse pad can cause erratic cursor behavior.
You could try deleting this file.
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your iMac.

Mouse pointer jumping around since 10.10.3

Dear all.
Since 10.10.3 upgrade my mouse pointer is jumping around all over the place.
First i thought it was maybe a bluetooth issue (i am using magic mouse) so i disabled that.
But.. without active magic mouse, the mouse pointer still keeps jumping.
So now my macbookpro has become almost unworkable.
Anyone ?

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 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. If your model has an infrared receiver for use with an Apple Remote, disable it.
5. 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.
6. Reset the System Management Controller.
7. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
8. 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.
9. A defective peripheral device or a damaged cable can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using any wired peripherals, disconnect them one at a time and test.
10. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
11. 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.

Mouse pointer jumps around screen

My Emac mouse pointer jumps aroung the screen. I have tried restarting and a permissions repair. I'm still having the problem. Any ideas?
Emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Is this the original Apple mouse? Do you have any third-party mouse drivers installed? (Look in System Preferences under "Other"). Presumablly you've tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity in System Preferences; have you also checked if the mouse if jumpy in other user accounts? If you can, try a different USB mouse on the eMac to ccheck it's not the hardware.
You can test if the mousing surface is at fault by using a plain sheet of heavyweight bond paper as a mouse pad. If that resolves the issue, try the tip first suggested in the eMac Discussions by Ron Jackle: use a plain floor tile as a mouse pad. You want one that's non-glossy, fairly plain, and not too refelctive. I've got such tiles in use on several computers (Macs, PCs, and Unix), using a light tan 8x10 tile from Home Depot, label 8x10-5202, SKU 3057645425, which retails for about US$1 (I recall the last one beint 89 cents plus tax) when bought one at a time.

Mouse pointer jumping around screen!

hey guys, iv had my iMac for around a year now and only recently iv noticed that the mouse pointer just jumps randomly across the screen when i move it, like ill be moving the mouse to the right and itll jump across half the screen to the left.
It happens at least once an hour or something like that and only seems to happen when im move the mouse quite quickly. im using a laser wired mighty mouse that come with my 20" iMac which is around a year old, thanks.

Hello again Beanie_,
Is yours, the iMac, the 2.4Ghz version? My own iMac does this " trick " every now and then. There are several threads about the issue here in Apple Discussions and a veritable mountain of information inside Google.
Regards once more and now, I trust, you will see why I asked my 1st question!
Ian.

My 5s keeps loosing signal , 02 say it the latest update on ios 7 causing this , is this true and what's happening about it plz ?

My iPhone 5s keeps loosing signal , I have contacted 02 , and they say it's to do with the latest ios 7 update , my messages and voice mail doesn't come through for a day or two after they are sent or left , this shouldn't be happening to a phone that is only a few months old !

Think about it. If it were truly the iOS update, EVERYONE who has updated (and that's millions and millions of users) would be having problems. It would be front page news.
Get a replacement SIM from O2 and see if this improves the situation. If not, then basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new device. If those don't work, then you have a hardware issue with the phone (not a problem with the iOS 7 update) and will need to bring it to Apple for servicing.

Itunes update 10.4(80) causing problems with MDNSresponder, configd, and KRB5KDC.

I am a relatively new mac user and have no idea how to procede here. I would be grateful for any help. Here's the story:
Last week I updated my itunes like a good boy when prompted. I am not certain, but there may have been a mac os10 update along with it. I always look at the details of what the update is, except of course this time. When the update finished, the macbook wanted to reboot and I let it. However, when the computer started up, I began to see wierd dialouge boxes asking me if I wanted to run KRB5KDC, then MDNSresponder, and configd. I ticked no to all, and discovered I could not connect to the internet or my NAS. I then I got on my PC and looked these up discovered what they were and rebooted the mac, this time ticking yes. At this point my mac told me it could no longer keep automatic time and asked if I wanted to set the clock manuallly, so of course I said yes and did. That solved my connectivity issues but here are the ones that remain:
1) I can no longer accept secure certificates from websites... safari tells me they have expired or not to be trusted when I know for a fact that is not true. How can I be sure of any other websites?
2) My macbook pro can no longer keep the correct time and date. It seems whenever I go into sleep mode a new time and date appears when the machine awakes.
3) All of my iCal info has been errased when I last synched. I discovered that yesterday, thus prompting me to post. I can't have that. Thankfully all the information was retained on the macbook's drive.
4) Are there any other issues I may not have discovered yet?
Just for added info I am running OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) on a 2.66 intel coreduo with 4 gigs of ram
I know this is rambling but I just don't have the proper technichal vocabulary to describe my problems any better.

John,
Even i am facing the same exact problem the way you are facing, but i thought my net is having problem so i changed the net also. Now it seems that Apple has problem with this version.If you find any solution kindly mail me on [email protected] I would appreciate your help for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Mayuresh,

Hey saandyy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Have a nice day,
Mario
