Sometimes it is very difficult to describe, if it were a Microsoft Windows, the definite diagnosis and cause would be getting a virus but there is practically no doubt of virus or malware in an updated Mac, at least for this issue. After this incident I searched for the solution of this problem and got to know that there are several other Mac users who are facing this problem from long time ago. I was not aware of this Jumpy Trackpad issue until one of my friends called me and asked to check his Macbook Pro and much to my surprise when I saw that the cursor moving and clicking by itself as if a spirit has taken control over the Macbook and making various gestures on his trackpad – Strange things were happening- it starts from double click to opening of all sort of things which has a gesture – Launchpad would open in front of my eyes, Various windows open and close itself, Notification center gets manipulated – simply think its a situation where you practically lost the control via Trackpad and you can not do anything but watch.

So if the input devices start acting up with mystery clicks, erratic motions, and other weird behavior like moving and clicking by itself which people also call Trackpad erratic cursor dance , you have good reason to be frustrated.

For the majority of people, this effort has paid off however, for some, there’s also a report of erratic cursor movements, cursor moving and clicking by itself or jumping around by itself.Īpple Wireless Mouse – Cursor moving and clicking by itself on Mac – Jumpy Trackpad issue
