Scrolling down doesn't stick, keeps jumping back up

Anyone else having this problem and know a solution?:
when I scroll down an event's pictures a little bit, after just a second or two the window all by itself scrolls back to some arbitrary point higher up in the event, it just won't stay put so I can select items. Very aggravating!

Try the basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
Regards

  • Intermittenttly, when scrolling down a page, the page jumps back up uncontrollably and nothing makes it stay in the desired place.

    This happens also on pages I can zoom in on - it will zoom in and out uncontrollably. Sometimes just moving the cursor across the window without clicking on anything will cause the view to zoom in or out. Eventually it calms down.
    This IS intermittent and started only recently. When I turn off my laptop, it usually says it's installing an update and I'm not sure if that's a Mozilla update, Quicktime, Flash or what and if you can tell me how to determine what's being updated so often, I'd appreciate it because I have a suspicious nature about things happening without my knowledge!
    The scrolling up and down can happen on a page once and if I go out and return, it may or may not happen again. The distance it goes back is never the same. Left-clicking the mouse doesn't anchor the page. Using the scroll bar doesn't change anything. In fact, even when the left mouse button is depressed with the cursor on the scroll bar, the bar will jump up and down by itself.
    I use a Rocketfish wireless mouse. Thinking it was the problem, I replaced the battery and re-booted it but that doesn't help. Closing Firefox and re-opening it doesn't stop the problem.
    It doesn't seem to happen in documents on my laptop, just on the internet.
    In fact, it's happening right now!
    Thanks for your help...Hope you have some ideas for me!
    ALSO - I am NOT a fan of Google and don't really want it on my computer but I notice "Google update" listed as a plugin. If you can tell me how to remove it, please do. Thank you!

    Jeesh, sorry for the typos...
    I've also contacted the template creator, and he couldn't seem to fix it either.

  • HT1430 iPad 3 keeps jumping back to home screen ...

    iPad 3 keeps jumping back to Home screen .

    Your apps are crashing. Try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help at all.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    Or .... Reboot 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.
    Start with those two things and see if the apps quit crashing - or see if the crashes are less frequent.

  • My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

    My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words.  To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine.  I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything.  Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
    Advice?

    I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles.  I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine.  ***.

  • My iphoto keeps jumping back to last import

    My iphoto keeps jumping back to last import, I am using photo's in a event and if I click on anything on my desk top it flips out fo the event I am in and jumps back to last import please help

    Close iPhoto and open the iPhoto Library package as shown in this screenshot:
    Look inside the Auto Import folder and move whatever you find to the Desktop.  Do not many any other changes.
    Launch iPhoto and it should not jump back to the last import smart album.  If there are any image files that you moved to the Desktop that you want and are not in the library then reimport them.

  • My playlist keeps jumping back

    I will be listening to a playlist on my iPhone 4s for a few songs and then pause. A few hours later I will come back to the music App and press play, but it will start playback from the song that I started with last time. So I have to skip any number of songs to get back to where I left off on the playlist. It does this with playlists or when I listen to my entire library on shuffle. Sometimes it keeps jumping back to the same song, no matter how many times I've paused and restarted. Every once in a while it will remember where I left off, but 9 times out of 10 it does not. This is really annoying since I want to listen to the whole playlist, but have to keep skipping through songs to get back to where I was without having to listen to repeats. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem on my iPhone 5S, and it is annoying. There may be a fix, however. Go to the Control Center, it seems you can start your playlist where you left off. I'd prefer to be able to do it in Music.app, or at least to have a preference that lets me continue where I left off in the playlist.
    Another thing I noticed. When you add albums to a playlist, it seems the "add all songs" button is missing. That's kind of annoying when the album has lots of songs.

  • Timezone keeps jumping back to GMT??

    Hi,
    I live in Denmark and want to set my date/time-preferences accordingly - it's Central European Summer Time (CEST) +0200 UTC.
    I've set it to adjust time/date automatically to "Apple - Europe". But every time I choose "Copenhagen - Denmark" under "Timezone" and quit the preferences, the timezone keeps jumping back to "GMT".
    What can I do?
    This constant time-displacement of two hours is messing with my iCal and Mail time settings as well. So the problem is kind of urgent!
    I hope you can help me.
    Best Regards,
    Anders Bach, Denmark

    From lmacy:
    "Use the Finder's "Go to Folder..." command to open the /etc folder and drag the localtime folder to the trash. You will need to authenticate as an admin to do this. Then just open System Preferences and set Date and Time settings.
    It appears that this only happens in a migration to Leopard, but I can not be sure.

    LG Enact:  My camera mode setting will not stay at SPORTS.  It keeps jumping back to NORMAL.  Need help.

        Geo0319,
    Let's get you snapping those sports moments. Does any other camera mode stay on consistently or do you have to change it everytime. It sounds like it will allow you to take one photo and then it reverts back to normal.

  • Mouse scroll-down doesn't work....

    LIttle trackball for scrolling on my mouse doesn't work when attempting to scroll down. I've looked at the pref settings for it, and it all seems fine. It will move in all other directions, just not down.
    Advice please?

    Glad it worked. Folks seem to have varying probs w the scroll wheel. I have been lucky. 1st one lasted 4 months and would not clean. Free replacement. This one is now going on a year w a couple of minor cleans.

    If "Google Drive" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions. Log out, log back in, and test. Back up all data before making any changes.

  • For a few months now my ical keeps jumping back and forth.  It's very hard to use my calendar as it doesn't open on today, it may stay a few seconds and then it goes backwards to random dates and forwards.  It doesn't sit still so I can see what I have on

    My iCal is driving me nuts.
    It won't sit still when I am looking at my calender.  I try holding it still with one finger, two fingers and it just moves.  It jumps to random dates and I have no confidence in it any longer.   I use my calendar all the time and this just isn't good enough.
    I have gone into the apple store and they said they hadn't seen that before.  It did it while I was there.  They restored the phone and it didn't make any difference.
    I have turned the calendar off in settings - mail - icloud - deleted and then turned back on again.  It didn't help.
    I put the Google Calendar app on in the hopes I would have a calendar that wouldn't frustrate me and it is so slow in responding, I have deleted it.
    I see online that many others are having the same problem with their iCal. 
    It would be great to know the solution.
    Please help

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • IOS 5.1 / iPhone 4s - 3G toggle doesn't stick / turns itself back on after reboot.

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced this bug on the 4s with iOS 5.1 ?
    I have:
    Cellula Data > OFF
    Enable 3G > OFF
    After a device reboot I notice the battery is draining fast and I check in cellular data settings and sure enough 3G has turned itself back on.
    I have reported this using Apple Feedback but wanted to see if anyone else has uncovered this bug / can reproduce it. I can reproduce it after each and every reboot.

    I can confirm this behaviour is initiated by the network operator and not the phone. If your phone goes off and then comes on it negotiates with the network and the network then chooses to put your phone into 3G mode.
    For now it's just a matter of remembering each time you have rebooted or reset your device to immediately go and switch 3G off. It would be nice though if Apple could make the user choice stick but it seems this part is actually out of their control due to the way the networks behave.
    Some days when I leave the house I enable cellular data and of course turn 3G off, then I spend the whole day driving around and it stays on Edge the whole day. Other days it doesn't stay on Edge and I notice halfway through the day that 3G has turned itself on again so this is definitely being turned back on by the network operator.
    Just another note: If your 3G is turned off but you see your battery is draining fast for no reason, turn 3G On, wait a few seconds and then turn it Off again. I don't know why but somehow even though it shows off it sometimes seems to not actually be properly off.
