I read the stuff about problems with version 25, but my problem started about 1 to 2 months ago.  I was running high sierra and finale 25.5.0.159.   It ran fine, and key entry an panning music pages was smooth and instantaneous.   Then the screen started "poping and jerking", it would minimize my display without my doing anything, entering a single note would see a delay of 3 seconds; erasing a note would be delayed two seconds,  If I panned to a next page, the display would move in jerky one second long 2 inch, moves, and when you released mouse move, it would keep jerking until it caught to where you last held the mouse.  In other words panning absolutely did not work.    Several other anomolies but basically something MAJOR was wrong.   So first I redownloaded my version of 25 (  .159) no difference.  So I was going to reinstal my high sierra OS, but decided why not just get the latest Mojave(10.14.5).  No difference.    How can trouble shoot this problem?   I know there were a year ago comments about slow entry, but this only started about 1-2 months ago. Everything worked fine and I had downloaded anything for months.   What do I do?

No answer to my question... 

 

There are a lot of reports lately of WiFi/Bluetooth/USB 3 interference issues that are causing problems. Don't know if that's the case here but the symptoms are the same. The solutions usually involve moving WiFi to 5G only (or turning off if not needed) and repositioning BT and USB 3 devices.

 

Not experiencing them myself since OS 10.7.

I thought i answered this:  my imac is late 2015 according to the mac info window.   I was running 25.5.9.159.  Funny, you should mention the blue tooth stuff, because the response was as if it was having trouble reading my wire less keyboard and mouse.  The thing is I have two macs, side by side and the mac air next to the imac also uses a blue tooth mouse.   I have a usb to blue tooth little hardware widget for the mac air, and I recently moved it from a usb bridge, to the port WHICH IS RIGHT next to the imac.  man, my first thought was that the imac mouse and or keyboard was low on power (because I suspected bad mouse/keyboard reads)   I even tried turning off the mac air mouse, but that wouldn't have much affect on the bluetooth widget. humm...  Damn,   I will wait until the symptoms appear again and move the widget away from the imac.  thanks
