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

Hello ScottyBruins,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Often times a trackpad that exhibits such behavior might just be dirty or damp. Take a look at the following article for more information:

Take care,

I am a IT helpdesk specialist and one of our employees brought me a MacBook Pro with this issue. It took me a while to figure it out but, check the power port for foreign objects, there was a staple held in by the magnetics in their port.
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.
