Q: mystery mouse scrolling

why does the page move on me when i place the cursor over something on the page...it happens on the web, on the app store, on my mac period. sometimes it will do this just as i want to click on something and the page jumps down, causing me to click on another link

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

A:

Sorry to have taken years to reply, I realized that with the magic mouse, as I would click on the link/song/whatever, my hand would drag a slight amount, so that would mean..i was doing this, so i've gone to meetings and corrected my bad behaviours, life's better, now I am trying to learn how to connect my library from my mac to my other computer running W10 which only has my purchased music shared but not cd's I have stored in the mac library...Why?/How?

    More info please.

    Are you using a mouse?

    If yes, what kind?

    What model Mac?

    Since you posted here, I assume your Mac is running OS 10.8.something. Correct?

    This is not a virus. You can be assured of that.

     

    Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences. Click on Mouse.

    On the next pane you can change the variious settings to make the computer less sensitive to mouse movements. You will have to experiment with different settings to see what works.
