  Hello Kluggerjo,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

  I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

  If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

  If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

  Just in case you need a "dfitto", I second what said Tommy. It's almost certainly a hardware problem, and overheating is more likely.

• Windows has a mind of its own?

  A few weeks before that I demoted Win.8.1 of Win8. I can't support either.

  Tonight, I get a message that my computer needs to reboot for Win.8.1 can complete loading.

  I never said I wanted to move to 8.1. Windows has a mind of its own

  and upgrades to the next version without worrying about whether you want it or not?

  Well, I guess I'm stuck with 8.1.

  This happened to someone else?
  Bob

  It apparently * a * is happened to others, even though I have yet to see it happen first-hand (or with anyone I help/manage personally who chose to not move to 8.1 for a reason any.)

  If most of the 8/8.1 aversion is the interface - 8.1 is the best choice because it gives more options to customize without know entirely too much about the inner workings.

  If you don't mind a suggestion - check out the first post in this discussion to see if some of the suggested changes would help you with your discomfort with Windows 8.1 or not...

• Want 5530: Mind of its own!

  When I try to print labels under my laptop the printer ejects the labels and prints on the next piece of plain paper.

  If I use the printed page and copy to labels it works. HP says that it is because the printer does not recognize the paper. If this isn't when I copy why isn't when I ask it to print?

  However, if I put 2 sheets of labels into the tray paper he rejects the first and prints on the second - it's really a mind of your own, but at least I can do it now!

• HP Envy 5530: Printer print on its own

  When I turned on my printer it started to print web pages on its own. There has not been ' t same pages I was on and wouldn't stop until no more paper.

  I cannot get him to stop and can't print what I really want. How can I cancel printing and prevent it from printing on its own?

  Thank you

  John

  Hey @jcolanzi,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand your desire 5530 e - all - in - a printer is printing multiple pages when it turns on. I can help you with that, but I'm going to need both know the operating system of each computer that send documents to the printer, as if the printer is connected to a computer via a USB cable or if it is connected wireless network.  Once I know that I will be better able to help you.

  Hi @KathyB3023

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome aboard!

  You can try to reinstall Windows and possibly update the drivers to try to solve this problem.

  Your portable device came with a DVD or recovery for Windows USB support as he joined scores of recovery (HARD disk) that can be used to restore your PC to its original default state factory.

  1. here's info how to perform the recovery/reinstall > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00006110

  > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04758961

  2. Once complete you the recovery and reinstalled Windows, see this article:

  > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

  Ensure that your video card video card drivers are updated, all the great drivers are updated and that Windows is also updated.

  I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes and feel free to post back.

• Cursor has a mind of its own

  I have a toshiba satellite PCs running windows vista, service pack 2. I use a touchpad synaptics instead of a mouse.  Recently, I went to the microsoft hotfix to fix a number of issues that have been resolved. However, my cursor began to do his own thing like later - as scrolling, opening links that the arrow crossed, highlighting blocks of type, etc.  Instead of my traffic action through a click or tap of the buffer, the cursor active almost everything what it touches.  I have changed under the mouse settings in the control panel and adjusted the settings in synaptic Touchpad, but the problem persists.  All of the suggestions.  Ken

  Hi oneplus1,

  I suggest that you update the touchpad drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

• The volume control has mind of its own

  I have a HP1428 DV7 ca, Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit running. Recently my volume control seems to have achieved a clean mind. At first I thought it was related to HP MediaSmart, so I removed it. It stopped at the volume control bar to constantly and irregularly flashing on the screen. However, when I open the mixing table under windows I see that it is always very strange, the volume increases in fits and starts. None of the volume controls at the top of the keyboard do not work. The MediaSmart button stays on and the mute button is not the drawer of the volume control does not work either. I thought that removing MediaSmart and put it back in place, it should correct the problem, he didn't.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It may be a hardware problem with the band capacitive itself, but about the audio, try the following.

  Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp45001-45500/sp45073.exe

  One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box to enable this and then proceed to uninstall.

  When finished, restart the computer and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

  The MediaSmart you make reference to the application's HP MediaSmart SmartMenu, which can be downloaded and installed from the link below - you must have at least a MediaSmart application installed before installing SmartMenu.

  HP MediaSmart SmartMenu.

• my cursor has a mind of its own-why?

  When you type in a word doc, I noticed that my cursor jumps all over the document while I type sometimes...? Why this might be happening?

  Most of the time your cursor jumps if in a laptop, the touchpad can be too sensitive.

  Check the laptop Touch Pad drivers are installed
  Go to control panel, click the mouse and then go to the TouchPad tab check the properties of the touch pad, and slow down the cursor.

  If this does not help, consult the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn

• Please help, 8 Win leads me to madness. He has a mind of its own.

  I'm sure it's a built-in function daignee be beneficial for the touchscreen, but believe me, the laptop everyday with a keyboard, it is quite exasperating. You make the slightest movement with the slider and you are suddenly whistled off the coast on a fully independent screen. Is there any solution for this? Microsoft must be aware that this is a problem. My brother did the same thing. He appeared calm right down for a few months, as the navigation in a normal version of Windows on a regular computer, that I have no idea what I did to achieve this. Since I did a refresh of the system a few weeks ago he's back with a vengeance. Here, he just did again. I was to move the cursor at the end of the sentence and was whistled off the coast to write new messages in Outlook. Why! ?? I would be really grateful if someone could advise me on what to do. I'm at the end of my home. I can see this laptop pretty soon hit the back wall! And he just did it again. Write a new e-mail in Outlook. Help, please! :(

  Hi Karma

  Looks like you have problems with the Touchpad on this laptop.

  Laptop many keyboards have advanced options that are designed to allow movements that simulate the touch screen functions.

  Examples: options, sensitivity, scroll, Pinch Zoom, a slippery finger gestures other than simulate the pressure of a button or double click when touching a certain area on the touchpad, etc..

  To check this, I would recommend that you attach a standard USB mouse to the laptop computer and disable the touchpad. See if this prevents the problems you are having.

  If this resolves the problems, open the properties of the Control Panel/mouse and look for a tab that has the Touchpad options.

  If you let us know the brand and model of the laptop, we can study this further.

• MacbookPro has mind of its own

  The woman has a MacbookPro 2011.  It uses mainly for browsing (Facebook).  At has mentioned me a number of times while surfing, different pages seem to jut pop up or it opens a link when she does not choose this link.  I though it was imagine that, and then I used it on vacation to move some photos on his Facebook page and I found the same thing happens to me.  As I flew over the trackpad, it is as if the felt Macbook that I planned to choose a link and that link would be open, even if I hit anything.  This AM, my wife was in the middle of reading post from a friend, and as she was scrolling until the finish, another open page.  Any ideas what would do something as it happens or what I need to do (other than buying a new macbook) to help solve the problem?

  Could be a problem in trackpad. And given the age of this MBP, this can be caused by a swollen battery. What status (cycle count/condition) watch battery? Determination of battery cycle count for portable Mac - Apple Support

• mind of its own... restart

  I am running xp, my computer few matter what his doing.to let it run without having to restart, it must be in safe mode. What can I do to solve this problem.

  Safe mode is nothing else than Windows running with the bare minimum of necessary programs.  Many other programs and services to start when you start in Normal mode.  One of these programs is probably the cause of your computer down.  The General method of attacking this program is to disable the program selected, reboot and see if your system crashes.  Eventually, you will find the program that is causing the problem and when you do, you will probably know how to solve it.  The Microsoft program used to control assistance and services startup programs is "msconfig".  This article provides general instructions for troubleshooting:
