Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

I don't know how this started, but I'm unable to shut down my computer because I get message saying my photos are being synced with online... which they aren't. Now iphoto is frozen. Can't shut down computer or view photos.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have a MacBook Pro bought about 18 mos ago.Force restart your computer, back up your iPhoto library, depress the option an command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library

When I try to open Firefox, Google say the ULR does not exist on the website?
I use Firefox and have the latest version. Currently when I try and open Firefox, Google posts and error message saying the 404 the ULR does not exist on the web. What do I need to do? In layman's terms please.

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Firefox will not connect to internet after upgrade. The window pops up but shows "connecting " in tab. And then it sit there. Close it down and then try to reopen it and get message " Firefox already running, Exit program or shut down computer" ?????????????????
1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

The information box pops up when I click on my desktop icon for firefox as well as if I try to access it in other ways. I have restarted my computer. I have tried removing firefox and redownloading it. No matter what I do, it still gives me a box saying it is already running, but not responding. When I pull up my taks bar, it is not running! I can't close it as the box suggests because it is not open to do it. I just keep getting a box saying it is already running no matter what I try to do, even though it is not running.
I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

I can't start AE. Ae always shuts down. There is a Problem with the "AEDynamiclinkServer". I tried everything. But it doesn't work. How do I get AE back to work?
What "everything" have you tried?
What exact version number (down to the last decimal) is your AE?
What OS are you using?
What are your other system specs?
When did it work last? What happened between then and now?

When i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi
when i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi and i have to keep it open so that i can access the wifi
i have only a airport extremePower off both your computer and the base station.
Then, power up the base station first and let it run a minute, then power up the computer.
Any change when you check AirPort Utility?
If not, we need more information about your AirPort device. Our crystal ball is unfortunately not working today, so we must ask you to locate the model number of your AirPort and post back with that info.
The model number is on the side or bottom of the AirPort depending on what version you have. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in "A x x x x". -
I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open. It says to close mail and continue shut down. Problem is I can't open or close mail now. Can't shut down my computer at all. What can I do?
If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
When you power back on, the Mac should reboot. -
