Tmp plug in a two button mouse, go to preferences to check settings, remove any DVD or CD.
IF all fails do a cmd+option+p+R on a restart and make it chime 3 times.

How to stop my G4 Mac desktop screen from jumping around when mousing? My screen moves left and right, or up and down when mousing around.

I think what you have done is accidently magnified your screen slightly. To correct this hold down your ctrl key on your keyboard and move your finger on the mouse scroll button back. Hope this helps.

Imac screen moves around with cursor

Is your screen image also magnified?
It sounds like you accidentally zoomed the screen, which you can do by holding down the control key at the same time you are rolling the wheel on the mouse. When you do that, the screen will follow your mouse so that you can access portions of the screen that have "zoomed off."
Hold down the control key and roll the mouse wheel until you have zoomed all the way back in. Alternatively, visit System Preferences / Universal Access and modify the Zoom options to suit yourself.

Apple iBook G4 Track Pad (Mouse) not funtioning

I think the first thing you should do is make all updates. I know that in some versions of the iBook G4, the trackpad does not work after installing OS X 10.4 (Tiger) before you do the updates. Update your OS X first. secondly, does the button work? Does the trackpad show up in the System Preferences menu? (under keyboard and mouse). It's very unlikely that the trackpad came unhooked unless someone has opened up your computer. If they have, there is a really good chance that they didn't plug it back in, because it's a hassle and easy to forget.

The finder bar keeps appearing every 2 or 3 minutes while I am working with other programs or surfing. It is very annoying....

It sounds from your description like you may be inadvertently activating the "Exposé" feature.

Certain models of Apple mice have pressure-sensitive "button" areas on the side, such that if you squeeze the mouse you will activate those "buttons," which by default activate Exposé.

Also, you may have Exposé set up to activate when you move the cursor into a "hot corner." Check System Preferences / Expose and make sure the hot corners are turned off.
