The curser on my mac pro will not respond to the commands to open a page or select anything. Any suggestions

I am using a Mac Pro and had problems with my curser not responding to commands. I had not upgraded from Maverick. I called apple and the first step was to upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.3. I did that and still have the problem where the curser will not respond to commands intermittently. It will stop unexpectedly and restart unexpectedly. Any suggestions?

The answer was I had a magic mouse in my backpack that had accidentally turned on. The blue tooth was interfering with my track pad. I felt like an idiot but not as bad as the guy at the genius store who diagnosed a track pad that is lower than it should be and that was the issue. Another senior rep took a second look as they thought they had to send it off to be repaired. I was glad it did not have to get shipped. Live and learn. I was the second one that day with the same issue. Posted for others to find the solution. I thank you for the reply!

Seriously, that was what they told you to do when you described the cursor problem? That's a ridiculous response. Was this actually a tech support person who told you you needed to upgrade?
