Why does TextEdit & Safari scroll on their own?

Why do TextEdit & now Safari scroll on their own?  (That's both Up & Down and Side to-Side.  I don't need to use my mouse.)  It is so frustrating.  [As it scrolled on its-own when I typed this very message, several times.]
Maybe I need a new copies?  Grrr!  :-(  Hey Apple, I feel that I deserve better!  Gosh:  I paid to get this?  <Gruff!>
[My first Apple was a MacPlus, which I bought in 1984.]

I noticed an error in grammar after I posted my original message.  At-first my complaint was about TextEdit, alone.  Then Safari acted-up & I forgot to change Does to Do.

  • Why does each Creator user need their own install?

    Seems to break the Unix paradigm, install one copy of software and all the users can use that same set of executables.
    Over 600MB per user is a little heavy, don't you think? That's before doing anything.

    Hi curmudge1,
    The source of the issue is in the installation of our PE as we create the domain within the installation directory. This will cause problems when multiple users run Creator, as the Application Server cannot be modified by your users.
    I believe there is an RFE filed on this. Several people have requested this in the past, so hopefully we'll have it fixed in the next release.
    If this fix is integrated in a future release, you should be able to run multiple instances using a single installation directory with different user directories, etc.,

  • Why does my mac reboot on its own?

    Why does my mac reboot on its own?

    Oh den.thed...  I saw your post this morning and I was so excited....  ran to the Mac and got to Energy Saver, and...  the checkbox is already unchecked. 
    Long story, I'll make it short.  Just got the Mac back after having the HDD replaced.  (It stopped working after less than 500 hours.)  This rebooting thing has been happening ever since I got the computer in 2010, and I was hoping it would coincidentally stop happening after having this crashed HDD replaced last week.  No such luck.  Still doing it, even after getting the computer back from Apple.  Two of my kids have macbooks, have used the cr*p out of them, and have had very few problems (nothing big).  I bought this Mac, to replace a dead Dell desktop that got very little use, and so far I am not sure I did the right thing.  Really wish I could get this "automatic" rebooting thing fixed.  (Reboots with no notice, while doing normal tasks - internet, word docs, etc.)  Thanks again for your help.  Let me know if I should try anything else.

  • Why does the Safari message "This is a non-secure form" pop up everytime I try to use yahoo mail?

    Why does the Safari message "This is a non-secure form" pop everytime I go into yahoo mail?  If I don't press the send option my whole computer freezes.

    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • HT3737 Why does the Safari toolbar disappear when the cursor is not on it ?

    Why does the Safari tool bar disappear when the cursor is not pointed to it?
    How can I fix it ,Please.

    It sounds like Safari is displaying in 'full-screen'. To reveal the tool bar move the mouse pointer to the top right-hand corner of the screen. You should see two blue arrows, click on those and it should take it out of full-screen mode and leave the menu bar, tool bar, etc. permanently on view.

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

  • Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

    Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

    deleting the adobe plugins in Library worked for me:

  • Why can't my kids get their own apple ids?

    My kids are getting an error when trying to create their own apple ids?  Why?  The error message said due to age.  What is the age minimum and is it based on age in email?

    You must be 13 years or older. You should set up the IDs for them using your information, since you will be supervising the accounts.

  • Why does my safari refresh when I sign in?

    When I sign into any website (on safari), for example, Yahoo, Paypal or Gumtree, I just type in my username and password like normal, and then I click the submit or enter button. The page then proceeds to load, but instead of taking me into my homepage on the website, the page just reloads, and when I type in my details again and click enter, the same thing happens. The page refreshes and the username and password areas to be filled in are blank.
    I can't access anything and it's beyond frustrating! Why does my iPad keep doing this and what can I do to fix it?

    Reset Safari, click on the Safari menu item then select Reset Safari. That may help.
