I am having major problems with my trackpad. My cursor appears to have mind of its own. It jumps around randomly and I have not control of it.
I suspect it has something to do with Adobe Flash Player, but am open to suggestions.
I am unable to remove or reinstall Flash Player. I get an error message every time.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 7.0.1
How are you trying to remove Flash Player? Are you using the unintaller located in your Utilities folder called 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager'?
Yes Paul. It doesn't remove it.
I click on Unistall, it asks for my password, I type it in and nothing happens.
Btw - the password is correct!
I don't know if this will help, but no harm trying if you haven't tried it already. You could try uninstalling it in Safe Mode - restart holding down the Shift key until booted. The Mac will boot slowly and will eventually display Safe Boot in the top right hand corner of the screen. Once booted, try running the Flash uninstaller. Once done (hopefully) restart as normal from the Apple menu.
You can uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

but hard to believe this has anything to do with your trackpad.
