Pages icon keeps jumping on my mac?

how do u fix this?

Hi falfad,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you asking about the Pages icon on the Dock of your iMac?   Check your Dock preferences in System preferences for your Mac.  You may have your icons set to bounce when you open an application.  Icons on the dock will also bounce when there needs to be some action taken in the application.
OS X Mavericks: Dock preferences

  • HELP!! FINDER ICON KEEPS JUMPING. MESSAGE SAYS 'RESTORE WINDOWS'. CAN'T CLICK IT. DESKTOP IS BLANK. I'M IN MY FINALS WEEK!!

    My Finder icon keeps jumping. I can't open a Finder window. A message keeps popping up at the same time asking me whether or not I want to restore my Windows. I can't click on it because it keeps, well, disappearing. I can't even force quit the application. I've turned my laptop on and off and the whole thing starts again. The files on my desktop have disappeared. I've visited all other forums on the subject and nothing works. HELP!! I'm in my finals week and I cannot afford to waste time on this.

    Never mind.

  • I use BT Yahoo! but when I try and navigate to email from the home page it keeps jumping between 'connected and waiting for login' and never loads up.

    My internet service provider is BT in the UK. The home page is www.btinternet.com. After I've logged on, the home page displays fine - I can see the summary of my emails in one of the windows on the home page. The problem comes when I click on the mail application. The page then tries to load the email application. However, it never actually loads, it keeps jumping between connected and waiting for login. It never achieves it so I just have to click the 'back' button to get to the home page. I use chrome and ie but neither has this problem.

    I retraced my steps to how i got the Google app:
    App Store icon on Home Screen > Search, at bottom > entered Google
    The first Google App on the screen appears:
    Google logo small g in blue square: Google Search; Open (because it is already installed).  Below that is a picture of the iPod with the usual  Google Search screen.  I have never inserted a link into a discussion group so i hope you can open this.

    Does this bring us any closer? 

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • Turning Red Page Icons to Blue w/ Non .Mac account?

    The only time the pages changed from red to blue was when published to a .Mac account. I no longer use .Mac and when I publish to a folder the red page icons remain red, so I have no idea which pages have current changes which need uploaded to the server. If you don't use .Mac, how do you make the red page icons turn blue?

    That's kinda my point - publishing to a folder 'should' do the same. It's easy for the app to check and see if there is a .Mac account (which it already does). If no .Mac account, then publishing to a folder should turn the pages from red to blue.

  • Desktop icons keep jumping to the right

    Okay, suddenly all my desktop items jumped to the right of the desktop, and I can't put them back to - for example - topleft.
    It happened after I imported a CD into iTunes (a Beatles album, the irony). I wanted to access the CD to watch the documentary, but the CD did not show up in the Finder. I also could not select any icon on my desktop, could not dubble click the icon for my harddrive for example. So I went to File > New Finder-window and opened the CD from within that window. I watched the documentary and then I wanted to copy it to my desktop. As soon as I dragged the .mov file to my desktop, all icons jumped to the right.
    What's up with that? Thanks!

    nvm
    I need to learn to restart my Mac before making such posts... Still strange that happened, though...

  • Why does my safari icon keep jumping and take forever to load?

    When I turn on my iMac and log in; the toolbar comes up and I push the safari icon and it jumps around and has been taking a lot longer to load...Is there something I can do to fix that?

    Is Safari the only application that's slow to load?

  • Pages icon dock keeps hopping

    I did the pages update yesterday on my iMac (10.9.1). Today, the pages icon in the dock keeps hopping. Always twice, then stops. Then after a while it hops twice again, then stops. More distracting than anything. Anything I can do to stop it? 
    BTW, I did shut down computer overnight, which should be the same as restarting  it, right?

    Sorry, here's why I learned from a discussion, "Why does app icon keep jumping?"
    "Broke down and called Apple.  After dragging the Numbers icon to the trash and then dragging the one from the Applications folder back to the dock, it stopped jumping."

  • Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

    Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop 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, 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.

  • I couldn't find the "Reload Page" icon and went to "Customize" found it and moved it to the top tool bar but when I clicked "Done" it dissapeared. It won't stay visible. How can I keep it there for my use?

    I have V6 of Firefox and never had to worry about the "Reload Page" icon before so when I upgraded to V6 I was sorry to see that it was gone. Also the "Page Back" arrow isn't lit up and won't work. I have to go to the history and go back using that.. what happened to the back arrow? Now there are 2 clicks instead of one?
    I went to the "customize Toolbar" and moved the "reload Page" icon back to the top and it disappeared when I was done. How can I keep the "Reload Page" visible and useful?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

  • My magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page

    Hi, my magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page and random apps keep appearing on my screen when I'm in facebook and it keeps sliding onto my dashboard screen.

    Thanks so much for replying Barry.  Did what you said but took me 6 attempts to be able to reply to you so unfortunately did not work.  Have to wait over a week to get into Apple store so I guess I've just got to wait.  This is my second magic mouse and its driving me crazy.  Touch pad also playing up but thanks for the advice and have a good day.

  • Web page keeps jumping to top when scrolling down.

    When I scroll down a web page on my Macbook Air with 2 fingers, it keeps jumping up to the top again.  This started yesterday, did not happen before.
    Also, a rectangle of various sizes has started to appear on the page and this is most annoying.
    Any help to rectify this would be appreciated. 

    Hi ottodv,
    I was not able to reproduce this issue on my Flame device running v2.1.
    This may be an issue specific to Geeksphone's build of Firefox OS. Are you able to reproduce this issue with other versions of Firefox OS?
