**energiesource** · 10-26-2008, 04:02 PM

okay so i bought a new imac, and my mouse keeps ****** trailing off and like jumping all over the place when i try to move it around. its starting to piss me off, its not my mouse pad, so is it my mouse or what the hell?

If its the mighty mouse by apple, then its known to have issues.

so...can i exchange it? or what? its pretty upsetting. i go to click on something and it jumps halfway across teh screen thus dragging whatever i was clicking over there

actually your mouse is possessed lol, but yea, you can definitely exchange it depending on the purchased stores return and exchanged policy. i would definitely call the store and verify

well canada sucks, so they'll probably be jews about it, but i'll probably just bring it in, what the box it came in inside the imac box and the receipt from the computer?

**Cody Overcash** · 11-19-2008, 09:00 PM

uh what type or surface are you using the mouse on?

"energiesource": Definitely answer Cash's question - b/c that could have something to do with it but I would also try to rub the mouse ball it with an "alcohol swab"... (I'm assuming you have already adjusted your settings under "system preferences")

My mighty mouse started acting up a few weeks ago so I took into the store, and as soon as I pulled it out an employee came up to me and said: is your mouse acting up? (actually the first thing she said was: "...you have a mouse in your pocket" - no comment..: ) So I said yes, it doesn't seem to scroll correctly anymore. She took it to the back and then a few minutes later brought it back and we tested it out - worked great.

I asked her if they get that a lot and she said ALL the time... Then just said all you need to do is to swab it with a dry cloth with alcohol on it (make sure it doesn't have loose lint, etc...) So, anyway - try that and see if it fixes it.

Hope that helps!
