Why is artboard in AI CS5.1 jumping around while I draw?
I am on a Mac Pro, OSX 10.6.8, using Illustrator CS 5.1 (with latest updates).
1) When I am drawing with the pen tool (just ordinary click, click, click-extend for a curve, etc.), each time I click, the artboard not only jumps to a new place, it zooms in or out. It also happens while I am moving a copy (holding the optiion key) of an object.
2) Then sometimes when I Click, I get the flyout menu to undo point, so I lose that point. Sometimes two.
3) Also, when I am zoomed in and moving an object to an exact point, the object jumps away from that point, like a magnet repelling the same pole. If I copy an object and paste Front or Back, that is fine, but when I move an object close to another object, it jumps away. I have reset the snapping tolerance several times, but I don't see any difference.
I have deleted ai prefs many times. I thought it might be my mouse prefs, but I changed those and see no difference. Fortunately, I usually work in CMYK, because the web presets are even more wacked out.
When the last update installed (automatically), there was a message that not everything was installed (or some variation of that).
Does this mean I am forced to upgrade to Lion?
Thank you to all the Gurus on Adobe. Your time is much appreciated.
I don't think that this has anything to do with AI per se. Sounds more like Spaces/ Exposé or whatever Apple choose to call it these days is trying tio interpret overlapping workspaces/ screen areas. I'd definitely chack those things and the monitor settings. Could even be that you have defined a secondfary monitor/ desktop there that causes this. As for updates we would need the pertinet logs, but generalyl this has nothing to do with what version of OSX you use but is caused by corruptions in Adobes own installer database and such...

My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports
I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks
I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.
Tips for solving problems with USB devices
The tool can be downloaded by clicking the button under Step 1. Run the tool and let me know the results.

Email cursor jumping around while typing????
My cursor jumps around while I am typing and is just erratic.
I have this issue as well. I am using a early 2008 macbook, 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo. I usually am only typing on this computer for email. I have tried both firefox and safari with the same issue. I was initially hoping it was just a bug in the application, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Macbook Pro with OSX Yosemite: I am frustrated that when using Word for Mac, the cursor keeps jumping around all over the page. How can I make the pointer follow the cursor so this stops?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

why does music skip around & not play in order in library? since latest update is there a shuffle feature & if so how do i turn it off? thanks for the help!
Hi henry1963,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your are correct and shuffle is turned on in iTunes. Please use the following article as a reference for turning shuffle off.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Ways to play songs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12131
You can play music in iTunes in various ways.
Shuffle or repeat songs
Do any of the following:
Turn shuffle on or off: Click the Shuffle button. Shuffle is on when the arrows are blue.
Shuffle albums or groupings: Choose Controls > Turn On Shuffle > “by Albums” (or “by Groupings”). iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.
I hope this helps,

Photoshop CS5 has stopped working while I draw.
So I have Photoshop CS5 extended and Im using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260m 1gb video card. A Asus G60Vx laptop. 4gb of ram.
So heres the story. When Im drawing on a picture it could be from 5 to 45 minutes of drawing photoshop will all of the sudden crash with the error saying "Adobe photoshop cs5 has stopped working" and i have to close the program losing all of the progress in my drawing.
I have called and talked to 3 different Adobe Reps that I can hardly understand... and have done ALL of the suggestions they have given to. From dragging the settings folder to the desktop from dragging the plugins folder to the desktop to reinstalling the program which i have done twice. Also *I use no 3rd party plugins ONLY A WACOM PEN AND TOUCH TABLET** Regarding the Tablet I have called Wacom and they have no clue of how to fix this issue either I have reinstalled it and updated the latest driver for it. Still nothing. Im am getting very upset I NEED* this for my college class... and NO ONE can help me. Everyone I talk to acts like they have no clue what to do they are just giving me steps that i follow that lead me to nothing. just the same problem. Please someone help me through this. I had been using this program and tablet FINE for like 2 or 3 months and just last week it starting doing this.function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

I would also definitely clean out my drive using CCleaner and run a defragmentation. Could well be that too much fragmentation is preventing PS from expanding its temporary files beyond a certain point and then it goes belly up....
Windows 7 keeps its drives defragged all by itself and it will tell you about drives getting full.
A better approach would be to scout around in the Windows System Event Log and see if it's logging any failures.

Curser jumps around while typing
I have tried to find the answer myself but.....As I type mymp curser ju vi See! I'm tired of ha to go back again and again (I've left the examples in the hope that it will help)
Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions....
Try cleaning your trackpad. Shut down the Mac. Get a clean lint free rag, dampen it with water and just gently wipe the trackpad. Are you using a mouse by chance? Same thing... clean the mouse.
Also, go to System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Trackpad and make sure your settings are to your liking.

Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around while typing since you installed Lion? Never had any problems of that sort prior to Lion. I have an older machine. I believe it is a 2008 MacBook Pro. Especially happens with Yahoo. I am baffled.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Text jumping around in InDesign CS5 attributed to Magic Mouse!
I am a long time user of Adobe software (beginning with PageMaker) and have been using InDesign CS5 since shortly after it came out.
Most of my work involves display ads and catalogues for sporting goods stores, so there is a 'ton' of image and text manipulation.
About 6 weeks ago I started having this problem with text and images jumping around. It was horrible!
Anyway, long story short…it was my 'new' Magic Mouse which I purchased the end of Sept. I went back to using my original wireless mouse and 'no more problems'!
I went through a very long, drawn out process to get to the bottom of the problem. Anyone experiencing this problem and using a Magic Mouse you might want to try going back to an older mouse.
Good Luck!Thanks but this has been a known problem for a long long time.

HT203171 Why is my cursor jumping around?
THe cursor on my Macbook Pro has suddenly started jumping around even when I am touching nothing. It seems to have started after I installed a free Photoshop trial. I have done a Safe Start but nothing has changed.
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 or mouse, 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. -

Why does my selection on the touch screen jump around?
Throughout the day my phone starts selecting the wrong item on my iphone; if I select contacts it brings up something else like email, if I select back it tries to delete, try to scroll up or down and it jumps around. I've restored my phone twice, restarted, updated it, made sure it's fully charged, and while there are times it works fine, it inevitably goes back to this problem. Sometimes if I lay it flat or turn it to landscape it will work ok, but more often than not, it doesn't.
I'm past my warranty and want to find a fix without buying a new phone. I need help!!!!Sync everything to the computer.
Restore as new. Test.
If problem persists, call Apple and arrange a repair. I doubt if you'll need to. It is most likely a software issue and the restore should fix it. If it does turn out to be hardware, an out of warranty repair would be $199. Not cheap, but cheaper than buying a new phone before being elligible to upgrade.
