My trackpad shows no visible change, however my cursur moves on its own, clicks on things, drags icons, and at other times refuses to move. Sometimes for a moment it will work, but then it is back again. I highly suspect malware. My computer worked fine, there is no sign of hardware damage and I reset my Pram. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Read my post and check. There is litterally 30-40 of these same posts on this forum and my solution works.
"Ok I have had this issue for months. I figured out that it was a folder workflow that I put on the machine."
I just started having this problem today, I was lucky to have a bluetooth mouse with me so that I could use my macbook barely.
I don't know exactly why but the solution I found works prety good. Change your OS to, let's say french or spanish. Then go back to your original language and the trackpad phantom disapears.
This resolved my problem! A firm knuckle strike to the track pad got it back to normal.
Thanks Patrick140897
I'd like to add my voice to this. I have the same problem as Al_Pacino and the same model MacBook Air (mine is 11").
Same problem here, also MBA 11" from late 2010.
Ok I have had this issue for months. I figured out that it was a folder workflow that I put on the machine.
Same problem here. I had never problems before. Started since a month. Maybe an update is causing this
Awe, good! I'm glad it's working now!!
I failed to mention that the volume buttons and mute switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working when it was two years old--a realy incovenience.
That new trackpad that was installed two weeks ago is beginning to behave exactly like the one that was replaced.
Apple666--YOU, my friend, are a genius. The firm knuckle-strike worked like a charm, the very first time!!!
You know, this really worked!!! WOW! Thanks ever so much. nancy
Yep having the same problem on a 2013 Sept MBP. But the light "hit" to the track pad every now and then seems to be working like recent posts seem to say..
turn off all features of the trackpad except the essentials. I had the same trouble and this helped. I only had the problem with my 15.4 in MacBook Pro.
The hit soultion worked to me. Macbook pro 17' retina 2012. My worst 3000€ expense.
My trackpad is going crazy, cursor moves on its own
