The cursor moves erratically even when no mouse connected
I've had the problem for over a year now, but I never received tour to report. From time to time, my cursor moves erratic around the screen, jumping from position every few seconds. I have a MBP, but often use it plugged on a screen and mouse etc with the lid closed. The problem persists if Setup like that, even when the external mouse is disconnected, or when simply use it as a laptop. I recently wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a clean copy of Mac OS x from zero (no backup), but the problem still persists.
Any ideas?
Looks like a hardware problem. How old is this MBP? Sometimes, when they get older, the battery may start to inflate and put pressure on the trackpad.

Satellite Pro A300 - the cursor moves continuously when connected an external mouse
Hello
I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I connect a mouse directly by USB the cursor moves constantly. I also have a mouse attached via a docking station, Toshiba and that works perfectly.
It doesn't matter what USB port I use or if the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or if it works on AC or on battery power.
I thought it was the mouse that was the problem, so I went and bought a new one but the problem persists.
Actually, while I wrote this post, he has stopped doing that and then started! Very frustrating.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

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?

The cursor moves in the opposite direction
Original title: "slider issue"
about 40% of the time after the start of my laptop, the cursor moves in the opposite direction. If I restart, it usually solves the problem, but sometimes I have to restart 2-3 times... I only use the touchpad and doesn't it have never get tired with a mouse... ideas?
Cheers, fileeep!
Tell me everything said on adapter #3 and adapter #6 - What are they, what error messages they say exactly? These devices work, or if you have problems with them (one of them is the mouse)? Error 31 means he cannot load device drivers which means that there is something wrong with the drivers or the device is not compatible with this version of Vista or another component on your system (very hard to tell from a distance). You should always download and install the new drivers, firmware and for two devices having problems (not just drivers - it may be more necessary) just to be sure, that you are not corrupt. We need to solve the problems with these devices, because I suspect that it is at the origin of this problem.
If this does not work, we will need to make a complete diagnosis of the entire system.
Good luck!
P.S. Please do the test with the mouse - that will tell us a lot.

A part of the my s g80 lenovo touchpad does not (far left, to be more precise on the thick part of 5 cm), the cursor moves sometimes, bought this tour only 2 weeks before. I use especially the usb mouse, so never experienced this problem before, I do not know if it is still there since I bought. I contacted lenovo saying this problem, they asked to reinstall the driver for the touchpad from the link given, the problem persists and they claimed his driver with w7 incompatibility and reinstall the operating system? Please say a solution for this problem, I can't change the os now :(
Lenovo/support forums is the place to ask, its their software/driver.
Unless of course you make the mistake of using windows update for drivers, if so try to make back the driver, or reinstall on the Lenovo support site

my mac pro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi
If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.
Good day.

I have an Epson NX415 printer, the problem I have is my arer of ink cartridges not recognized or fake messages saying that I need to replace a particular cartridge is correct. I tried the Epson OEM cartridges as generic in all combinations without success. Sometimes, I get a message saying something on the refill cartridges but even when I tried to solve the problem I was unsuccessful. I have tried all troubleshooting solutions on Epson web site without success. Help!
I hate to say it, but if you can't get help from Epson, it's probably time to buy a new printer. It's a printer hardware problem or a problem of printer driver, and the two of them come from Epson, not Ms.
Good luck.
