My cursor for my macbook pro is jumping around? anything I can do to fix it?
MacBook Pro
I have had the same problem, literally for years. Drove me nuts. Took it to the Genius bar more than once but, when I would try to demonstrate the problem, it would not fail in the store. The Geniuses said I was getting Bluetooth interference from my neighbors. Took the machine back home and, sure enough, it started failing again. Finally, at the urging of my wife - who was weary of listening to me cursing all the time - I bought a USB keyboard (Das) for $150, the kind that makes each keystroke sound like old-fashioned IBM electric typewriters. Plugged it in, with an Apple Bluetooth track pad. Voila! Problem vanished.
Moral of this story: The Mac Pro built-in keyboard is crap if you are a fast typist. It doesn't matter how you adjust the keystrokes and pressure, it is total crap. I am angry with Apple about this because the jumping cursor has caused me many hours of frustration. (I am a writer, an author). Anyway, now you know. Go buy a USB keyboard. I have the Das, but maybe others work as well. Bottom line is that the Apple built-in keyboard on the MacBook Pro is glitchy.
Thanks for shares how to fix the problem.
I found my solution.. switch off siri on iPad stops cursor jump
On Macbook switch dictation off
end of problem
Its Siri trying to both analyse and rewrite your stuff.
This may sound crazy but, if you haveaiphone 6 near your wirelessusb, move it three feet fromcomputer. Tell me if that works.
Had a Toshiba storage drive attached via usb. Unplugged it and the issue stopped. Odd as it was fine for an hour or so.
Running MacBook Pro (Intel)
My trackpad had a small piece of something wedged into the side of it and was sucking up all the current. Worked fine after I cleaned around the edges
oh...my...god... it was my second display 😐
I just turned it on and now my cursor is working fine... you have GOT to be kidding me.
Thanks for linking that post!
I had the same issue with my Macbook Pro. I turned off `built-in trackpad` to correct this.
I made a blogpost with a video on how to fix this. https://averyryder.com/Jumping-Trackpad-Toggle/
I don't understand why, but deleting Bluetooth devices seems to have worked. Bizarre.
