I fought it for awhile, then tried other applications, everything was either madly scrolling to the bottom or scrolling through icons without me even touching the computer. When I opened my spreadsheet, and started to work – suddenly the page scrolled down to the bottom. By now I had lost nearly an hour out of my work day to solve the issue and just decided to mute the sound and keep working. The noise stopped for a second and then started up again because Coreaudiod would restart itself almost immediately. Coreaudiod was using a lot of CPU, so I killed it. I checked everything I could think of, unplugged all my externals, etc. Upon re-start, I was still hearing the same sound. I looked at everything I had running and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary so I rebooted. You never hear this on a Mac, but I’ve heard it too many times on Windows computers. The computer was making an odd stuttering noise like it was hung up.
When I returned I sat back down and logged back in from the screensaver to start working again on my spreadsheet. The sun was up and I opened the curtains and went out onto the balcony. I had it plugged into a pen tablet and an external monitor and the printer – it looked like it was on life support! I’d been working away since early morning and I got up to take a break. I had the strangest thing happen recently. I’m not known for brevity– go to the bottom of the page for the fix. Of course he was the one who figured it out. When my husband began troubleshooting the issue, he rummaged through the basket for something and the right key was then pressed. Since my bluetooth was discoverable on my Macbook, the iPad Bluetooth keyboard was controlling my Macbook, scrolling down on any window I activated. When I opened the curtains, I inadvertently shifted the keyboard around so that it was against the side of the basket and the down key was pressed. The iPad keyboard was in a basket sitting on the floor beside the window. When I had gotten up to take a break that morning I opened the curtains.
UPDATE: I’m placing the fix here at the top as well because you may not be able to scroll to the bottom of this article: What was the cause? How did we fix it? We have a bluetooth keyboard for the iPad.
