My MacBook Air keeps switching between desktop and full screen apps by itself without me doing the 4-fingered swipe. I've tried quitting various apps and restarting the laptop but to no avail. Help?

I also have a 2012 Air and it just started doing the same thing tonight. I did the google Drive sync unchecked thing and it is fine now. Why this is happenening I don't know, especially since I have had Drive set to sync for a yr now. Must be how it relates to new Mavericks OS

Macbook Pro Late 2011 Running Mavericks. I had this exact problem. As noted by others, I unchecked "show file sync status" in Google Drive Preferences and it solved it for me. My guess is Google Drive updated in a way that was incompatible with Mavericks and Apple and Google will have to figure out who needs to patch the problem.

I will also confirm that Google Drive was the culprit. I was having the same issue, and found a youtube video suggesting that google Drive was the cluprit. So i discinnected my account and re signed in and now I am having no issues. Weird stuff.

Hey there! Instead of uninstalling/disabling Google Drive (this is terrible to me too, as I use it a lot), it also works if you disable "Show file sync status and right click menu" in the Google Drive preferences. It has been working for me so far.

Really? thats the solution? to the "most advanced operating system"? to delete google drive because mavericks and almost every recent release of OSX has been full of bugs, good one.

Running Snow Leopard still, never have ANY of these issues, good luck though.

I'm having the same issue with a 13 inch MacBook Pro on OS X Mavericks. The problam started today and where I also noticed a "sevice battery" message when clicking the battery indicator. Can these two issues be related?

I had the same issue since yesterday and after I quit Google Drive everything is fine now. I am glad to find this because it was really annoying. It was like every 30 seconds.. My macbook was keep sliding to desktop.

I have a 13" MacBook Pro and I've been having this exact same problem for a couple of days now too. It is so very annoying and is happening more and more frequently - sometimes in less than a minute of being in an app. Anyone find a solid answer?

I have had the same problem for over a year. I just thought it was how it works, until my son got a mac and his doesnt do it. Please help. O yea I dont have Google drive either. Apparently when Ive noticed my full screen apps are swithcning orders when i swipe up to look at the order of them making one as the first and making me view that one randomly.

"GOOGLE DRIVE, GOOGLE DRIVE,GOOGLE DRIVE, GOOGLE DRIVE,GOOGLE DRIVE, GOOGLE DRIVE,GOOGLE DRIVE, GOOGLE DRIVE!!!" ALL I HEAR IS GOOGLE DRIVE. NO ONE IS OFFERING ANY REAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT.... HAVE GOOGLE DRIVE, AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. AND NO ONE, HAS FIGURED OUT THE WHY, OR HOW TO STOP THIS VERY ANNOYING ISSUE. ITS AMAZING TO ME THAT WE LIVE IN 2014, ALL THESE SUPER HI TECH PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CAN CREATE INSANE COMPUTER VIRUS' BUT THEY CANNOT HELP THE EVERYDAY USER FIX ONE STUPID PROBLEM. THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY, I GUESS, FOR LIVING IN THE MODERN WORLD, AND HAVING ONE OF THESE NECESSARY/EVIL DEVICES. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MAC, AND ALL THEIR PRODUCTS.

I'm having the same problem and I do NOT use Google Drive. I thought it was doing it whileTime Machine was performing a backup, but that's not it either. My MBP is also acting as if someone is using the mouse. Help!!!

This is happening to me. I uninstalled Google Drive long ago. What else could cause this?

I also have random touches occurring. Cursor will jump somewhere else. I thought it was oversensitive track pad on new MacBook Pro, but I turned off tap to click and it still happens. I've seen the cursor move when I wasn't even near the trackpad.

Are you hitting any of the shortcuts. Perhaps used in your fullscreen app.

I am having the same problem, disabling Google Drive fixed it for me.

I had the same problem. I solved it by quiting the Logitech welcome software.
