Plz Help! My Mac keeps deselecting what I am working on

[billierose]

I don't know how to properly explain what is going on. I will be working on something and the computer will "deselect" what I am working on and the Finder will be in the menu bar. It doesn't open a window though. In other words, I have to click on the open window again to work in it again. Any Ideas? Thx for any help.

Are you pressing Apple+Tab by mistake?

Are you pressing Apple+Tab by mistake?

No, I am just clicking around in iTunes or typing or even if I do nothing at all.

Perhaps pressing tab by mistake?

Perhaps pressing tab by mistake?

This is happening whether I am touching the keyboard at all.

Oh, well that's easy then! You have a faulty something. Probably keyboard. Get it looked at.

Done.

That's £25 please.

That's cute, but my keyboard is fine. I appreciate your effort, thanks anyway

How can you be so sure?

Do you have Stuffit AVR installed in System Preferences?

because when I press Apple+Tab little icons pop up for each of the open applications for me to choose from and this is not happening when it does it on it's own.

yes! What is going on?

yes! What is going on?

Open System Preferences and right click on the Stuffit pane, choose remove. That should fix your problem.

Man, thanks! I really appreciate that. My b/f kept telling me it was because the computer was old, but I knew better.

 

[r.j.s]

Did it fix it?
