The pointer (
8
) doesn’t move when you move the mouse.
One of the following situations is probably the cause.
m Your system has a software problem. Try the following:
Press x-Option-Esc to quit the application program in use when the
problem occurred. If this works, you can save the documents open in other
programs before restarting.
m Follow the suggestions in the previous section, “A Dialog Box With a Bomb
Appears.”
m The mouse is not connected properly.
Turn the computer off using the power switch, check that the mouse and
keyboard cables are connected properly, and then restart the computer.
m Signals from the mouse are not reaching the computer, either because the
mouse needs cleaning or because there is something wrong with the
mouse.
Clean the mouse according to the instructions in Appendix A of this book.
If you have another mouse or pointing device, try connecting and using it.
(Turn off the computer before connecting it.) If the new device works, there
is probably something wrong with the mouse you replaced.
If none of these procedures solves the problem, consult the service and
support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to
contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for assistance.
