When in organizer how do I keep my cursor from jumping all over the place?

When I am working in Organizer 12, My cursor jumps all over the place and the screen keeps repositioning itself. It is infurating and I can't get any work done. New desktop iMac using Marevick 10.9.1 and wireless mouse and track pad both slowed to lowest level. Also tried using a tethered mouse but no different. Anyone else have this problem. Is it an Apple problem?

Is it a 'Magic Mouse'? If so that's why, there are many reports that it is badly behaved in the Elements Organizer. If not, do you have another mouse you could try it with (to rule out a hardware problem)?

Check your settings in System Preferences > Trackpad
Try a different Tracking speed.
Sometimes just cleaning the trackpad can avoid erratic cursor behavior.

My cursor keeps jumping all over the place in Mail since I installed Yosemite

I installed Yosemite yesterday, and now, whenever I try to write an email, my cursor keeps jumping all over the place. I can't write more than a few words without my cursor jumping back in the middle of one of the previous words. I makes Mail almost unusable. Am I the only one with this problem?

Similar problem. Mine seems to happen in mail - my cursor jumps to the line below and carries on typing - almost as if I'd pressed the down arrow to move the cursor. It seems to happen more when I type an apostrophe too.

How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

how can i stop Pages and Numbers screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
but thanks anyway. SG.
if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
(it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
maybe i need a new Mac ?
mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

My mouse keeps jumping all over the place and i dont know why!

My trackpad doesnt allow me to fully control the mouse on the screen! it keeps jumping all over the place and i dont knw why! i updated my computer yesterday and it was working fine but by the end of the night it started to not function properly again.

A fairly well known flaw that occurs to some trackpads. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449

Why does my trackpad start jumping all over the place when I plug in my charger?

It's fine when it's unplugged but becomes unresponsive and juddery sporadically during charge. If I click it just jumps across the screen! Really odd.

How do I consolidate my photos – they're all over the place

I'm about to replace my iMac and I want to put all my photos in a single location once and for all (and then back them up of course). Currently the photos are scattered across the three account holders on my old Mac and also on an external hard drive. There is very probably quite a bit of overlap among all these storage areas and there will also be pictures that are mutually exclusive to each repository. Organisation is not my strong suit but you probably figured that.
I should perhaps add that the new iMac belongs to my employer to enable me to work from home, so my own Mac is just going into storage indefinitely. So I'm also open to any solution that involves putting all my photos on the old Mac.

Thanks for your help, Terence.
Before I begin I am somewhat daunted by the contents of my Pictures folder, which contains, among other items, a number of folders named 2002 to 2006 and folders called Modified, Originals and Data which also contain year-named folders.
I think I can guess the nature of Originals and Modified but is there a quick way of spotting any duplication before bundling folders or files into a custom folder?
And at the end of the exercise, is there a way of preserving the chronological order of folders/photos as currently viewed in the iPhoto browser?

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.

My stills are all over the place when I export them. How can I have them play as they appear on the Viewer?

Hello everyone.
When I exported my video (all stills), the images are all over the place. I had adjusted the postition (X & Y) for each one, and when I exported the video, the stills are not staying in one place, but are coming from different angles and different positions. How can I fix it so that when exported, it plays as it does on my Viewer?
Thank you!

First, I'd try deleting all render files in both the associated Events and Projects (File menu). Do not render before exporting.
"Preference Manager" is a free download from Digital Rebellion (dot com) you can delete the FCP X pref files quickly, easily, safely. Try that next.

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.

My fonts are all over the place, how do I get them back?

Recently some of pages I view in Firefox have the text scattered all over the place and makes them impossible to understand. How do I get them back to normal? I am using a 2 x 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac, 12GB RAM running OSX 10.9.5 and Firefox 37.0.1. I have attached a screen shot of my Facebook Page to try and help explain my dilemma. Regards, Mal

How come my links layout go all over the place in different browsers?

Hello,
Please go to <http://www.peterdanko.com/errr.png> and see the screen shot of the page I am having difficulty with in the design view. Note the links: INSTALLATIONS, BELT COLORS, FINISHING, PRICING are neatly centered with the text body above and in a single line.
Now view <http://www.peterdanko.com/atmos.html> Note they are now stacked and randomly placed. In different browsers they are all over the place.
How can I keep them neat and tidy in all browsers?
Thanks
PETER

Below is the complete html code/css re-written for the 'product-wrapper' section. (scroll down). Not sure if this is of help or not. I think you need to take some time to learn some more html/css as the way youre going about it at the moment must be a complete nightmare for you. Copy the code below, (scroll down) paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site folder. View in browser.
You need to simplify your way of working instead of creating a <div> for each of your page elements, which must be a headache to keep track of???
Example: Instead of putting your header 'Atmos Seating Group' in it's own individual <div> use a more meaningfull html tag like a header tag, <h2>Atmos Seating Group</h2>
Then use some css to target the <h2>. We know the <h2> tag is in the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' <div> so write it as below:
right_tx_bx_400pxWd h2 {
text-align: center;
margin: 15px 0;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #999;
Similarly instead of inserting the main wording in its own <div> use a paragraph tag, <p></p> it's more meaningful. Then target the paragraph tag:
#right_tx_bx_400pxWd p {
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 16px;
color: #999;
Get the point. We only have to keep track of one <div> not several and we can target tags in that <div> more cleanly and effectively.
Try and keep all off your css together i.e. so all the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' css is kept together so its easy to find in the stylesheet intead of scrolling up and down.
Don't use heights on <divs> unless you know how high it will be and you won't know that unless it just contains images or you set a specific height for a scroll bar.
