Satellite A30 standby and cursor jumping

My Satellite A30 has suddenly stopped letting me 'move or scroll' smoothly - everything jumps and judders when i try to slide it.
Is my A30 falling apart?
It has suddenly stopped letting me put it to 'stand by'.
It's set to 'stand by' when closing the lid - but it stays powered on.
clicking on 'start' and closedown - the shutdown and restart buttons are alight and usable - but the stand by button is greyed out and unusable.
any ideas? hope so.

I just read you another topic about the notebook recovering.
Please post if the new installation has helped to solve this problems!
Thanks and greetings

  • 10.4.11 update and cursor jump

    This problem occurs in Thunderbird, MS Word, Allgood Solitaire, Firefox, and so on.
    I let Software Update download the 10.4.11 patch. I installed, rebooted etc. The cursor jumps when I use the trackpad, and also acts as double-click when I mouse-over a link, or hover over the deck in Solitaire. Action in Word was especially annoying -- cursor would select entire paragraphs or lines as I typed. I have to keep moving the cursor out of the window. The behavior for the window reminds me of focus feature in window under X-windows or Solaris, but here I can't tu
    rn it off.so
    Cursor behavior improved somewhat after running Disk Utility and fixing permissions.

    I think 10.4.11 mistakenly sets Trackpad Gestures/Clicking as a default.
    Here's the solution:
    System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad
    Under Trackpad Gestures, un-select Clicking.
    Good luck!

  • Screen Moves and Cursor Jumps

    I have searched all day for answers and tried about everything, to little avail.
    I bought a new MacBook Pro the day when Lion was released and then upgraded to Lion a few days later, and updated with 10.7.1. This morning my screen started to jump from one desktop (space) to the oher, so I deleted all but my main space. Then it kept trying to switch screens again, but could not (sometimes it jumped from main screen to the Launchpad or Mission Control. My mouse also started to jump all over the screen.  I tried many recommendations I found online and the screen jumping has now slowed down. The mouse is still very erratic, and often jumps from one side to the other.
    1. I have turned off all the hotspots
    2. Ran "Verify disk-permissions" and "Verify disk". No problems - no need to repair.
    3. Tried different mouse connections USB and Bluetooth and cleaned the mice.
    4. Turned on and off ten times.
    5. A few other techniques which I don't recall now.
    What to do? This is driving me nuts so I am now using my PC with Windows. How sad!

  • Satellite A30 hibernation and turning on problems

    hi
    i have had my toshiba sattelite A30 laptop for 14 months now, and havent had any major problems until now. whenever i turn my laptop off or put it into hibernation, it wont restart normally the next time i use it, it just acts as if it is starting, then stops and turns itself off, and will do this over and over until i remove the power cable and take out the battery, then put it back in and restart, and then it just acts normally.
    i have checked and deleted all viruses on my hard drive, but this problem is worrying me.
    does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
    thanks

    Hi,
    did you tried to reinstall the Toshiba Power Saver yet?
    A friend of mine had also hibernation problems and he reinstalled the power saver!
    We dicussed about it and it can be that the hibernation file is damaged and have to be generated new!
    Bye chris

  • Satellite P300: cursor jumps to different positions while typing

    Hi All,
    i have a Satellite P300,
    I am having trouble when i type.
    When i am typing using the keyboard, the first couple of words are ok, but then the words start typing in the wrong place, eg back further into the middle of the sentence i am typing.
    Anybody please help? thanks

    Hi dude
    I had a similar issue.
    While typing the cursor jumped to different positions and I was not able to finish one sentence.
    I though there could be something wrong with the keyboard but finally I have notices that I have touched the touchpad surface accidentally while typing ?.
    I have disabled the touchpad using the Fn+F9 and the issues has gone
    So maybe its the same reason for you

  • Satellite C600 - Cursor jumping all over the screen

    I was just issued the Satellite C600 and I cannot type without my curser jumping all over the screen. I've followed the advice from other threads with no success. "FN+F9" does not disable the touchpad, and there is no touchpad tab under Mouse Properties. In fact, when I search the whole computer for "touchpad" there is no response.
    Please advise!

    Hello
    Why you try to disable the touchpad?
    On Satellite C series there is a BIOS update that will solve this cursor jumping issue. There are already a lot of threads here in forum:

  • FF was running fine. My cursor jumped out of the text box while i was typing and now no text box on FF will let me type in it? Help!

    Basically as above, i opened a new tab to search for an article and as i was typing the cursor jumped out of the box without my realising. I placed the cursor back in the box and started but no characters appeared. I tried the URL bar and again nothing. I opened Chrome and it worked fine so clearly something ive managed to do but i have no idea what!
    I didn't use any shift, alt or ctrl buttons accidentally. I have tried shutting FF down and reopening but nothing.
    Can anyone help please?
    As an addition, why does the cursor jump out like that?
    Thanks

    Hello darrendons, try disabling graphics '''hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Continuing problem with cursor jumping and more!

    I had made a post about cursor jumping and thought I had solved the problem but it's back again with a twist. The cursor still jumps eratically in just about any program and will then settle down for awhile. What is also happening is the flyout tools in adobe photoshop and illustrator don't work properly or at all. I have tried trashing the preferences for illustrator and photoshop, repaired permissions, repaired the disk with disk utility- it says everything is fine. Now...... when I sartup off of my backup hard drive, everything is fine- cursor and all. Are there any ideas as to how I can solve the problem with my internal hard disk? I was told that I may have to wipe the hard disk clean and start over again. Are there any areas you can send me to that will help me do that?

    I have this problem even before running this set up updates (not sure what version) so I have a hunch it may not be related to those updates (but not sure)..
    .it started whem mine was new a few months ago and I am using a T410s....however  I am also running win 7 64bit....
    I did re-ren the windows touchpad calibration and it seemed to get better (NOT CONCLUSIVE) as it is intermitant and just started again...it would happen often for spurts then stop (Few days happening often)...when I am in hotel rooms or places with steam it seemed to happen more (not sure if coincidence)...I did run the tablet input calibration in the control panel but not sure if it fixes it...I don't know if it is softare or hardware and it is very anoying and intermitant...exact same things....cursor jumps to right corner and tablet keyboard shows up in left corner even though no touch...and it closes some apps...as that is where the X is....if you find anything PLEASE let me know...thanks

  • Cursor jumping to end of clip in FCP log and transfer

    I'm using AVCHD footage from a Sony hxr-nx5u camera. I copied the clips to a hard drive and am now using log and transfer to get the clips into FCP. My problem is that on some of the longer clips (pieces over about 10 min) the cursor start to jump or snap to the end.
    Example, through the first part of the clip I can drag the viewing cursor back and forth along the clip's timeline. When I let go, it stays there. If I do the same thing in the second half or later of the clip, when I let go the cursor jumps to the end of the entire clip every time. I can't log or mark in and out points for the second half of the clip unless I just let it play though. (If I do let it play through, I still can't go back and adjust it)
    I'm using Final Cut 7 and think it's fully updated.
    Very frustrating to say the least. Can anyone provide any help on this?

    Hi -
    No first hand experience at this, but my understanding is there is currently a problem importing clips from that camera that are over 10-15 minutes.

  • My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports

    I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks

    I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
    Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.

  • Satellite A100-165; while typing cursor jumps to other location

    Hi,
    When i write with the keyboard sometimes the cursor jumps to another location,
    Just right now it jumped to the "subject" input of the thread.
    It's pretty random where it jumps but very annoying, i am running a Toshiba satellite a100 165;
    Anyone got any ideas what this could be?

    Hi
    I had the same issue
    I didnt notice that I touched the touchpad surface accidently while typing.
    This was the reason why the cursor jumped.
    You can disable the touchpad using the key combination FN+F9
    Furthermore the BIOS update would be advisable too.
    Bye

  • 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.

  • When I point and click, the cursor jumps into the wrong place. Help!

    Dear Apple Community,
    When I slide my cursor onto a selected item, it jumps away from that letter/number or selection when I click it.
    It is OK if I remove my hand, but I like to rest my palm on the keyboard to avoid repetitive strain injury.
    This never happened with my white Macbook. Is it something to do with metal magnetism?
    Can you tell me how to fix it?
    Thanks!
    Louise

    Hi,
    Did you solve your problem? When I point my cursor to select some thing like text or a button on a web page the cursor jumps a bit so it's hard to zero in on the correct selection,  it's so frustrating!
