Mouse auto click by self
Have a weird situation for the past weeks and it is bugging me too much and seeking help to rectify the problem.
Have just brought my iMac G5 20" last dec (last of G5 iMac) and was happily using till recently (about a month or more), my mouse start acting on me.
Have a habit of launching multiple applications as i multi-task between them, no problem since my days with my iBook. However, my mouse start to auto click itself and make working on my iMac too much a trouble.
Eg:
As i type on this window about my problem, my cursor might be of somewhere else like out of the Safari window. As i type my post, suddenly i lose focus of Safari and notice that the application in focus now is Finder instead! That is where my cursor is!
Another situation, as i am typing this post, i keep the mouse within Safari. Suddenly i lose focus on the message window and instead it went to other dialog box within the same page and that is where my cursor is!
Another senario, typing this post, i keep the cursor within this dialog box, as i type, my cursor went to the position where it position, making me correct my typing again and again as it jumps without me controlling it.
It is keeping me from being productive as i need to constantly watch my cursor before it do it's auto-clicking and switch to another applications or change my cursor's position.
Have enough of this issue, i tried few ways.
1. clean my might mouse - issue still unsolved.
2. change mouse - issue still unsolved. (was an old M$ mouse btw)
3. brought a new macally mouse - issue still exist.
5. verify disk - no issue with my hard disk.
7. repair of permission - issue still exist.
6. clean install Tiger twice - issue still persist.
I have called Apple hotline at my country and sadly, the help over the phone is not helping at all. All he keep saying is to re-install Tiger as chances of corruption of OS is there which cause the problem.
Please help... i do not wish to go back to my PC and leave this wonderful 20" aside for ornament purpose... 😟
