Why does my window shoot off to the right?

Happens whenever I'm in the middle of reading something on the web page.  The screen will jump to the right about 2 - 3 inches, then jump back to the center, then jump to the right again usually 4 - 6 inches, then back to the center.  Then it will zip off the screen totally and it's gone for good.

I'm wondering if keeping my fingers on it is causing the screens to disappear.
It could.
By default, using a Magic Mouse in a browser -
• a two-finger swipe to the right is page forward; a two-finger swipe to the left is page back.
• a one-finger swipe right or left is scroll right or left.
Given the sensitivity of the Magic Mouse's top surface, it's a good idea to hover your fingers rather than rest them.
That said, I usually rest one finger (for normal click) on the top of the mouse, but not two.

  • Why does my image get clipped at the right margin?

    Using Pages 5.2 and Preview 7.0 with my iMac running OS 10.9.3, my brochure has an image that gets clipped at the right margin using Pages, but not with Preview (when I print a pdf of the same file). I'm using an HP Deskjet 6980 printer.  Both Pages and Preview are set for borderless 8.5 x 11, in landscape orientation, and the "thumbnail" shown in the printer dialog window is correct for both.  Preview does print the full image but ignores the "fast draft" settings and takes forever to print the page.  Pages is fast, but clips the image by about 7/16" at the right margin (trailing side of the printed page).  I need to print about sixty 2-sided sheets, so can't stand the slowness from Preview.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    If you had Pages ’09 v4.3 installed prior to Pages v5+, test if the image clipping issue occurs with the earlier Pages application. Export your current Pages v5+ work as Pages ’09 first, and explicitly open that document with the earlier Pages. Double-clicking will use Pages v5+ if both are installed.

  • Why does my Pixma-Printer not print the right format of the pdf?

    Hello guys,
    I have a problem with printing on my Pixma MX925 that only happens in Acrobat Pro and Reader.
    If I want to print an A4 document for example, the printer prints only an envelope-sized area or uses the wrong paper. Even if I set the print-settings to the right document-dimension.
    It works if i say "print as a picture" but that is not the solution.
    Has anyone an idea?

    printer model?

  • Why does my Windows Vista computer say the wrong iPod Touch name? I have multiple iPod Touches and after updating one of them, Windows Explorer says they are all the same name now.

    Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
    I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?

    iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
    But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

    Hi Aish I tried that it did not work though. I found out what was causing it though. if you checked out the site given above, the top image of those logs is longer than the browser, that way it can display for all sized screens. I resized that to fit the exact width of the page but it always comes out smaller. I updated the site so that way you can see what I am talking about. Thanks, Russ

  • The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

    I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

  • Full screen applications (facetime, dvd, iPhoto) fly off to the right of my screen after about 1 minute.

    When I've got Facetime or a dvd running after about 1 minute the active window flies off to the right, it's still open somewhere else and I can bring it back to work on but it will go again a minute or so later. I can't find anything running that is refreshing or interfering. I've upgraded indesperation to mountain lion incase it was a lion issue but it's still there. i can't find any mention of this on the communities already. If someone could point me in the right direction of how to solve this or let me know if they have had the same issue and we could maybe compare and see what the common issue is.

    - Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

    Hello,
    I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates.  The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
    As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website.  Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed.  The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
    If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)?  Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?

  • Why does my iPhone arbitrarily brighten, to the point of decreased resolution, despite my having turned off auto-brightness and setting the brightness to maximum?

    Why does my iPhone arbitrarily brighten, to the point of decreased resolution, despite my having turned off auto-brightness and setting the brightness to maximum?

    Could be a hardware failure.
    Restore the iPhone, first from a backup, then as new, and see if the issue persists. If it persists when you restore as new, then there's a hardware issue with your phone and you need to bring it to an Apple store to be evaluated.

  • Why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

  • Why does my iPhone 4GS bounce of the TV

    Why does my iPhone 4S bounce of the TV (not flatscreen, old thick Philips) when I put the iPhone on top of it? It happens after some time, perhaps 20 minutes. The phone bounces of the TV and lands on the floor. The TV is off!

    Hi,
    That sounds like attention seeking behaviour.
    Step over it and ignore the antics.
    When it behaves in the fashion you expect it is OK to pick it up and follow the normal nurturing you use.
    If you do respond to it you will soon find yourself planning a zip line from your upstairs bedroom to the kitchen, coupled with a refusal to get in your pocket when you are ready to leave the house.

  • When I click on a website in my reading list, why does top sites open rather than the site I've clicked on?

    When I click on a website in my Reader list in Safari, why does Top Sites open rather than the website I've clicked on?

    Go step by step and test.
    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Click "Reset".
    Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:

  • Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage every time i try to access netflix or youtube?

    Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
