Why is my mouse stuck?

I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks and my mouse has started sticking. Yesterday the sticking made the computer unusable! It seems to get unstuck if left for about half an hour, then sticks again within minutes! It also seems to get stuck after I've been using the computer for about 6 or 7 hours. I haven't booted it today and don't know it there is any change. I tried changing to the rollerball mouse and the optical mouse and I adjusted the preferences, but nothing made a difference. Help!!!

No, have always used high quality batteries. Now, I have rechargables in but the battery life indicator says 55%. I have no other bluetooth items around. I did have another bluetooth issue with a mobile I was trying to pair up with a mobile a couple of years ago, took it into the shop but of course there it behaved fine though they didn't have the exact phone to try and recreate the problem.

    When the keyboard pops up, tab the Globe icon, and select the English keyboard.

    Why is the mouse on my computer on cracked and has steadily raising?

    If the battery is swollen, it can push up against the under-side of the trackpad.
    This can be a safety hazard, you should take it for Service.

  • Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System Profile-"?

    I'm trying to install Flash Catalyst Beta on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).
    The installer starts to work, but then it stops at the point where it checks the system profile (see attached screenshot). It doesn't seem to have crashed as the dock icon allows me to quit without force quitting the application.
    I've tried it in my regular user account and the administrator account, but the behaviour is identical.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I appreciate all your efforts, but I¹ve just received my new copy of CS5, so
    I¹ll be installing the final version.

    Subject: Why is the installer stuck on "Checking System
    Profile…"?
    Thanks Gary.
    I need to ask you a few questions and request you to perform some more steps
    so that I can debug your problem.
    1. Have you modified any folder permissions, authorization setup using
    Keychain Access utility (or any other tool)?
    2. Open a Terminal window, and run the command 'ls -l /tmp' and copy-paste
    the output printed on your screen in your reply.
    3. Delete all files whose name start with 'asu' in your /tmp folder. Run the
    command 'rm -rf /tmp/asu*'. Restart your machine.
    4. Launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
    successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
    5. Open the folder containing the Flash Catalyst setup. Browse to the
    'packages' folder and rename the file 'install.sig' to 'update.sig'. Double
    click and launch the Flash Catalyst setup. This will not install the
    application but install the Adobe Application Manager. Let me know if you
    see a small dialog with a progress bar. Rename back update.sig to
    install.sig. Update us your observations. Continue to next step.
    6. Launch 'Disk Utility' app (from /Applications/Utilities). Select your OS
    partition in the left panel and click on 'First Aid' tab on the top. Click
    on the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button at the bottom.
    7. Again, launch the Flash Catalyst setup and check if installation proceeds
    successfully. If it doesn't, proceed to the step below.
    8. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the Flash
    Catalyst setup. Run the command 'sudo Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install'
    and enter the password. Let me know if the installer launches and on
    following the screen instructions do you still see the error screen or does
    the installation proceed successfully.

  • Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

    why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

    I'm having the same issue.  Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
    If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
    Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how good I feel know on this otherwise cold, windy and rainy day.

  • Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
    My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

  • Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"?

    Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"? They appear to be camera photos that I imported into iPhoto. I can leave the computer on all day and it still remains the same, meanwhile photos I take on the iPad are still being synced.

    Try to reset the Photo Stream:
    Disable it in System Preferences > iCloud
    Wait for a few minutes - have a cup of coffee.
    Then enabe it again.
    Repeat, if it has no effect the first time.
    Have you exceeded your daily or monthly limits?
    See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

  • Does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?

    does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?
    It will scroll in a window that has an indicator scroll bar on the right side but not in the new seamless calendar view. The built in trackpad on my mid 2012 macbook pro will scroll.

    or uninstall those mpkgs
    Yes.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it?  It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

    Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it?  It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

    You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.
