my mouse keeps moving by itself

Even when it's unplugged and I use the trackpad the curser moves by itself. Any ideas?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), mouse and trackpad

I have had this issue for months and it is finally resolved.


I talked to an employee at Apple btw.


First thing:

shut down your computer and unplug everything except for your power adapter

hold shift control option and the power button for 5 seconds

~ This will reset the system power management control


Second thing:

Go to the hourglass in the upper right corner

Search disk

Click on disk utility

On the right select Mac HD

Click verfiy disk permissions

Click repair


This repairs any problems on your hardrive



These two steps did the trick for me! And I hope they do for you as well.
