Trackpad is marking and clicking automatically

Hello,
For a few days I have a very strange behavior on my iMac using the trackpad. And that is, when I make a movement with one finger on the trackpad - the text, or whatever else is just in the area of ​​mouse pointer, will be marked automatically. In Safari it is even running a click and you get to the linked site.
Does anyone know of such behavior - and even more importantly what can I do?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Greetings _mik_

If BlueTooth is not on  and  no external mouse is connected,
contacting Apple is a good idea.
Best.

    Sorting Bookmarks in the Library window (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for temporary display. The Bookmarks are not permanently sorted.
    To permanently sort, open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar ---- Cmd+B in OSX), right-click (Cmd+click in OSX) the "Bookmarks Menu" folder and choose "Sort by Name".
    See: [[Sorting Bookmarks]] '''''~~red:and~~''''' http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox

  • How can I automatically connect to the server without having to type the password and click "connect"?

    I have a Mac OS X 10.8 and a Time Capsule configurated as server with a name "Servidor" on my home. The discs are protected by Accounts, so, each person can access the server by typing own name and password. The problem is... Every time I start the computer, I see the window below:
    So, every time I start I have to type my name and pass. And the box "Remember this password on my keychain" doesn't work because the "Password" is always blank when I see the window, like the image up.
    Please, someone help me to automatize it so I don't need to type nothing to connect to the server. I want something that do it automatically for me.
    NOTE: Please, explain clear and with details because I'm a new Mac's user.
    Thank so +!

    Try running KeyChain First Aid if you have not already done so.
    Open Keychain Access and click on the KeyChain Access menu at upper left of the screen
    Click KeyChain First Aid, then close KeyChain Access
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on AirPort or WiFi on the left
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    Click to highlight an old network that you no longer need, then click the - (minus) button to delete the listing
    Do the same for other neworks that you no longer need
    Make sure there is a check mark in the box that reads  "Remember networks this computer has joined"
    No other boxes should be checked.
    Click OK, then click Apply
    That is about all that you can do.

  • After updating to v. 24.0 (and restarting) ALL add-ons (regardless whether they work or not) are marked "(disabled)", and clicking Enable button does nothing

    After updating to v. 24.0 (and restarting, several times) ALL add-ons (regardless whether they work or not) are marked "(disabled)". I tried clicking "Enable" button for each add-on and nothing happened. There is only one add-on which is marked as incompatible with this version (but it was also incompatible with previous version, and so marked).
    Clicking "Update Add-ons", gives a short list of add-ons but "Install Updates" button is pale and doesn't work. I can only sort list by name or last update.
    Also, I disabled Ask Toolbar and that went well. When I click "Enable" button (button works ONLY for this add-on) it takes forever to get note: “Ask Toolbar will be enabled after you restart Firefox”, I used to get this info in seconds time before this update. (I do not really want Ask Toolbar, I just used it to see whether if I disable and then enable an add-on might do the trick.)
    Bottom line – I can not tell if add-on works (i.e. if it is enabled or disabled) unless I try using it.
    Even when I posted this question and installed Troubleshooter, it's also marked as "(disabled)"

    You're welcome
    Are this screenshots from an extension window because the built-in about:addons page looks different?

  • When the user press the button Calculate Tax (see attached doc) and click on Tax details then this should be updated automatically. But it does not work it is empty and the user has to update manually.

    When the user press the button Calculate Tax  and click on Tax details then this should be updated automatically. But it does not work it is empty and the user has to update manually.
    All setup looks fine.
    Please let me know what can be done on this?

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

  • Both trackpad tap and click are unresponsive on system suspend/resume (i.e. after closing and reopening the lid)

    Hi all, it's a while that I noticed a strange behavior.
    Every time I suspend the System by closing the lid, I'm not able, after resuming to use the trackapd correctly.
    Actually, on resume, single tap and click seems like not working.
    The only way to have them back on track is restarting the system.
    Any idea?

    fiveinchwrench:
    I used an electronics cleaning wipe to clean the case after I shut down.
    Did you sprey it on directly or did you spray it on a cloth and wipe the keyboard and trackpad? If you did, it may have penetrated to the contacts. Incidentally, all you need is a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your computer.
    Could the wipe have killed the trackpad?
    Possibly.
    Would it have damaged the logic board also?
    If you sprayed a lot of stuff on, it may have penetrated to the logic board. However, if the computer was shut off, and you are still able to start it up, it should be okay.
    If the only problem it the trackpad and clicker, you can try lifting the upper case and cleaning the contacts etc. If still not luck, you may need to purchase and install a replacement upper case.
    Unless you feel comfortable getting under the hood and seeing if you need to clean up a bit, I suggest that you take it to the Apple Authorized repair and have them take a look.
    Good luck.

    If it works in a new window then you can drags tabs from the not working window to that new window.
    You can also try to close the tabs via Ctrl+W and restore the closed tabs via Shift+Ctrl+T

  • When i use Firefox and do a Google search, find what i need and click on the link I keep getting automatically redirected to another search site

    When i use Firefox and do a Google search, find what i need and click on the link I keep getting automatically redirected to another search site called http://www.scour.com
    Can someone tell me if this is a problem with Google or Mozilla? or both? or neither?

    This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
    * [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]

    If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

  • My mouse and trackpad arent responding the click on finder, i can use multitouch but not 1 touch. Aswell when i go to the findertab at the bottum with the mouse, app icons Does Not expand.

    My trackpad is responding the click on finder, i can use multitouch but not leftclick/1 click/touch. Aswell when i go to the findertab at the bottom with the mouse, app icons Does Not expand. I had no problems with it before, but I'm very confused.

    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

  • Keyboard issue - my late 2010 MBP was working fine until SUDDENLY none of my letters would work - just numbers and a few other keys, and my trackpad would not left click, every click and tap was registered as a right click.

    If I reboot, my mouse functions normally UNTIL I hit any of the keyboard keys, then it wont stop right clicking everytime I click.
    Some of my keys are acting wierdly - I think 'I' does the TAB function, and J for example acts as the Enter/Return key.
    I have opened the keyboard utility thing, and it recognises that I am pressing the keys, but nothing is being typed on my screen.
    I have attempted to boot into safe mode, reset PRAM, run AHT but my Macbook simply doesnt want to know, just boots into OS X normally - this is with the built in keyboard and a USB External One.
    Its worth noting also that with the USB keyboard, I can type fine - also, if I reboot, my clicks are fine until I hit a key on the inbuilt keyboard, then it starts its right clicking again, however, if I then press a key on the USB keyboard the trackpad is 'reset' and allows me to click normally again.
    I have read various other threads but none really the same as mine which *****.

    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    ALSO if the computer turns on, the reset was done incorrectly

  • My old PC, when scrolling through bookmarks and clicking, would return to the same place when opening bookmarks again. My Mac, book marks always open at the top of the list. Can this be set like my PC?

    The PC, (Sony Vaio) if i scrolled half way through my bookmarks and clicked on one, if i returned to bookmarks it would open in the same location from where i clicked previously.
    The Mac, every time i open my bookmarks, it opens at the top of the list.
    Can this be adjusted to work like my old PC?
    Thank you.

    Please see the Back button as depicted in this snapshot...
    Thanks

  • How do i delete songs from my ipod? i got it used a while back and it had a bunch of music on it that i dont want. i went to my itunes account and clicked on music to try to delete the music, but my no music came up. music is on my ipod though

    i logged onto itunes and went to MUSIC under library and no music came up. I know that i have music on my ipod though because it shows up on my ipod. I am trying to delete that music. How do i do this??

    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
    If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • Check marks and question marks all over my icons

    Hello!
    Sometime in the last few days I've noticed that a bunch of the icons in my Finder have strange little question marks and check marks on them. I first noticed a check mark on the icon for the hard drive, but when I looked closer they turned out to be everywhere! here's a screen shot of what they look like:
    http://www.theamazingrolo.net/marks.jpg
    (i just took a screenshot of the info windows to make it more clear, but the marks can be seen in any finder window)
    What on earth are they about?! Any ideas? They kind of bug me, to be honest.
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

    I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
