  It's a laptop? If so, you are probably accidentally brushing your

• Cursor moves on its own

  Periodically, my cursor moves on its own and has been a problem for a few weeks now.

  Initially, he started with the built-in cursor not only movement erratic but also stuck in place on the right side to her screen/only up and down. To try to solve this problem, I started using a USB mouse to see that the problem persisted except that I've been able to move the cursor on the screen even though it move independently (by clicking on the icons and other, however, continued to be difficult).

  It feels like this question started out not the case.

  Here's what I tried to solve the problem (takes the chips of another user and added on):

  Change of mouse did not help (the problem persisted with USB mouse and wireless with new batteries in wireless)

  * The mouse software update did not help

  * Move the mouse or its sender to another USB port wireless did not help

  * Restore the computer to a restore point of verified (2 weeks ago) before the problems started never did not help

  * Reset did not help

  * Turn off an extended display and performing a single monitor (or the other) did not help

  Pointing device settings change of rather fast for its slow response seems to have it actually move slightly slower, but it has not solved the problem and the rest largely unusable a lot of the time.

  * To control the cursor in safe mode (works fine)

  * Done a virus scan (computer is clean)

  * Made a clean boot

  * Ran troubleshoot on built-in cursor and mouse USB (or came with all the problems)

  * Check properties on devices and the results say that the two are "works properly."

  * Uninstalled and reinstalled the program for the device

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hi J Clark,

  We appreciate the steps you have taken and thank you for the information provided.

  It seems that the mouse works in safe mode and it could be one of the engines is at the origin of the conflict. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

  You can open the Task Manager and monitor all programs running in the background when the mouse movement.

  Are you aware of changes to the computer in these two weeks mentioned?

  I suggest you to update display drivers by visiting the computer manufacturer's website and check the results. Also install all updates through Windows Update.

• Since iOS 9.3.1 my phone plays music on its own when the headphones are connected

  Since the last update, my battery does not last a whole day more and for some strange reason when my headphones are plugged into the music start playing without me from music. Music plays on its own at random times. Several times when I have my phone on the desk, I heard the beginning of music playing also on its own that helps the battery drain but other that the battery for some reason life any has been terrible. I hope Apple fixes this soon and also the restoration of the ability to use 3G to help save battery life. I have actually charged my battery to 100% and without touching all day insured no apps running in the background and I noticed my battery was 70% when ended the half-day.

  Try settings-> general-> transfer & Apps suggested and disable "Apps install".

• When typing text cursor suddenly jumps to a point in the text already entered. Use Ctrl Z to recover. How to stop this?

  When you type text, cursor jumps suddenly to a point in the text already entered.  Use Ctrl Z to recover.  How to stop this?

  I use Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron.

  I recently did a "clean boot" who has cured a problem of high CPU usage, but left me this cursor jumping problem.  I have to look at the screen as I type to be aware of these breaks that often occur at random.

  Hello Malcolm,

  Yours is a laptop? If so, you're probably brushing the touchpad with your Palm or fingers. The easiest way around this problem is with an external mouse with touchpad disabled. To disable the touchpad go to control panel, Manager of devices and look under the mouse or HID for her. Then, right-click on it and select Disable (not uninstall - it will reinstall itself only if you do).

  You can also connect an external mouse and select the option for Notification of Touchpad to disable the touchpad when an external mouse is present. This setting can be found in the mouse properties dialog.

  Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• Screen is scrolling down repeatedly and the cursor moves on its own.

  The cursor is rolling along of type I.m

  You do not give much information about what is really happening, but the first two points to check are the mouse and the keyboard, before looking for other hardware or software problems.

  If you have another mouse and keyboard available, you can try reverse the two and restart the computer to see if the problem persists.  If not a little more information would be needed before I could give advice on the best way to solve the problem.

  You're talking about the screen, scroll down and the cursor moving without the mouse - these are two separate actions.

  He is not anywhere on the screen do scroll down unless you have a running program - this scrolling happens with all programs that could scroll, or simply with a certain program?

  The cursor moves randomly or according to a specific orientation?  The cursor move around all the time or only in certain programs?

  These problems occur all the time, or only when you do something, like click with the mouse or use the scroll wheel?

• Sometimes my mouse cursor moves on its own. Am I being hacked?

  hacked off the coast

  When you work on the computer I think sometimes there's someone else who is controlling the mouse cursor. The cursor suddenly, usually to the lower left corner past. I now sign off the computer as soon as I see what is happening. Microsoft were down line twice to investigate this "ghost", but the question remains. Changed the access code to the whole, computer, etc email accounts, but still plays "ghost". Don't like what is happening because it seems that someone else is to read and to try to control what I do or see.

  Hello

  I would suggest trying a different mouse to see if the problem persists.

  In addition, some optical (non-balles wheel) mice do not like certain surfaces, including the mouse pad with pictures (especially the holograms). So try different surfaces/mouse mat too.

• Is it possible to have a slide advances on its own when there are buttons on the screen?

  I wonder if there is a way to have a slide advance automatically when there are buttons on the slide, I want the eLearning course I've created for just the AutoPlay through all the slides.

  Thanks in advance!

  What do the buttons do? Just delete their point of pause and when they reach the end of the slide, and the exit action is set to continue, or go to the next slide, everything will play.

• MacBook air volume keeps going up on its own when im watching something, or listening to music

  Hello

  My macbook air 13-inch running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version seems to have problems of volume. Whenever I'm listening to music or watching something volume continues to go up. I turn down, but it will just continue to mount it again. I let him join max once and I noticed even the thing volume kept popping up like I'm pressing the volume button constantly. This is quite annoying, because I have to keep turning down and sometimes it will increase very fast blow my eardrums.

  I would love it if someone had a solution for this!

• Wireless 5000 mouse erratic acts floats on its own

  wireless mouse behaves erratically, disobeys all the time but sometimes floats on its own when you click

  Have you tried to replace the battery?

• My cursor seems to lose his place when typing

  When I respond to an email comes from an email or create any Office document, my cursor gets LOST! I type and then even when I type, nothing appears on my screen. I have to move my cursor of mouse back to the line where I was typing, left-click on the location and then I can continue to type and see what I type. This happens all the time and it started about 5 months ago. At first I ignored it. But then I started to change my keyboard and mouse and then restarted in insterad Windows XP in Windows 7. He disobeys in Windows XP, and if I plug my mouse PS-2 using Windows 7, it is not the case. I changed my mouse - I use a USB mouse wireless MS 6000 but I also tried to use a wired USB laser mouse, but this does not prevent this problem. I contacted Microsoft, but they have no knowledge of this problem. I even wrote to Guru who writes the weekly column in the Houston Chronicle, and he has never heard of this problem. Any suggestions? My computer is a computer desk, self made with Windows 7 Premium Home, 8 GB of memory, two hard drives, each with its own operating system (XP on my backup and Windows 7 on my primary) and all of the updates for the two operating systems.

  I'm having a similar problem that you are, but it is not a problem with the mouse. I can type just fine in Word & online by using the mouse.

  But when I go to write an email, the cursor disappears and my screen freezes. I have to click on the scroll right bar down so he could reappear! And sometimes, it is still frozen (no cursor) & I have to keep clicking on the scroll bar, alternating between her & clicking on the email I'm writing!

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because it is a very frustrating problem!

  Thank you in advance!

• Portege Z series - the mouse cursor moves its own

  When I start my series Portege Z the cursor of the mouse moves by its own. Alfer several minutes (less than an hour) it stops and it works properly.
  For your information on the laptop, the Antivirus is installed and updated: AVIRA and Spybot

  What I tried to solve the problem:
  (1) I downloaded and installed the latest version of the pointer ALPS driver device that even so the same version was already installed. No result, same behavior
  (2) I tried with an external USB mouse, disable touchpad/pointing stick. No result, same behavior

  Suggestions, please?
  Thanks in advance

  Maybe you can try to start with a Live CD/USB. If this problem occurs also with the OS Live the question is related to laptop. If not, it s a Windows problem and perhaps a recovery would solve the problem.

• Does anyone else have an iMac that starts typing on its own?

  I try to type a password and the computer just starts typing, indefinitely. I'll write an email and the computer hits back again and again and again. Then it starts to beep me - the beep that says: "has already hit this key! I have no control over what he types. My only recourse is to restart, which works most of the time. Until yesterday.

  This goes on 5 months patiently trying a bunch of solutions, none worked. Of course, it produced intermittently, making it much more difficult.  However I called and talked to a counselor while he was hoping it would help. Nope.

  I went through 5-6 people from Apple for probably 7 + hours on the phone. Finally, they said make a genius bar appt and bring it in. Yes, I did. The whole darn 27 "thing. They gave me a new keyboard to try. Nope. They suggested I have reinstall the latest system. Yes, I did. Nope.

  I'm getting pretty well supplied upward.

  I will say, in all the conversations I've had, I'm pinned a rude woman. Each representative was pleasant and everyone has, according to me, tried very hard to make it work.

  Unfortunately the last woman I spoke with, a Counsellor who gave me his phone number and extension, did not return either my emails, nor my phone messages.

  So I'm screwed out of. When he arrives, of course, I can't use my machine $2000 +. Fortunately, I have a laptop or I would scream bloody murder. Maybe I need to start screaming bloody murder. I want that they fix it or give me a new. 5 months is enough.

  Someone else has a computer that writes on its own? Of course, I'd advice anyone can offer.

  I've had this happen a couple of weeks - except that it was on my end 2012, Mac Mini, on which I had just done a clean install of El Capitan.  The Mac Mini was using the Apple bluetooth - like the iMac keyboard.

  I've only had the question on the login screen - it would just start repeatedly typing in the password field.  To solve - and to see if was indeed a problem with the keyboard - I went to a wired keyboard - and the problem stopped.  This little told me it was the keyboard.  To troubleshoot further - I happened to have a spare identical keyboard - so I have the bluetooth of the iMac keyboard odd and not matched the keyboard problem of the Mac Mini.  I paired the keyboard blue tooth with the Mac Mini iMac and paired the bluetooth problem with the iMac keyboard.  I did a reset SMC, PRAM/NVRAM reset and start secure on the iMac and Mac Mini (precaution).  The problem never happened again.  I was not yet the keyboards of return - and it has been a few weeks.  If you do not have a wired keyboard or bluetooth spare parts - you could try the following:

  1 turn off your iMac keyboard pairing.

  2. join your iMac keyboard

  3 stop the iMac

  4 perform a SMC reset (iMac, you delete all the devices to the iMac - unplug the power cord at the back of the iMac.)  Wait at least 15 seconds.  Reattach the power cord to the iMac.  Wait at least 5 seconds.  Press the button.

  5. when the iMac restarts - stop it again.

  6 reset the PRAM (memory NVRAM) - by simultaneously pressing the keys CMD OPTION P and R, after hearing the boot chime.  Keep hold the keys until you hear the chime again.  Then keep hold the keys down until you hear one more chime.  Release the keys - let the iMac start.

  7 judgment of the iMac, once again.

  8. perform a startup by holding down the left SHIFT key when you hear the boot chime.  Now keep the left SHIFT key until you see the progress during the start bar.  On the login screen - it should be a message from Red starting at the top right of the screen.  Allow the iMac to sit at the display of connection for 5 minutes.  Connect to iMac - (it will be slower than normal).  Allow the iMac to sit to the desktop for about 5 minutes - do not run all the apps.  After 5 minutes - stop the iMac.

  9 start the iMac and Note If the keyboard is no longer slap on its own.

  Hi simon,.

  I found the solution for it, I change the cursor by using code in the following onFocus and onUnFocus methods:

  setCursorPosition (getText () .length ())

  Invalidate();

  Return super.onFocus (branch); For the onfocus method

  Return super.onUnFocus (); Method onunfocus
