Apple has gone through great lengths to be at the cutting edge in terms of trackpad. With the MacBook, they have introduced and evolved the multitouch capabilities and has invested heavily in R&D to ensure the feel and functionality are as flawless as possible. For the majority of people, this effort has paid off; however, for some, they report a jumpy or erratic and sometimes the trackpad moves on it own and or moves all over the place and these feedbacks can be frustrating

5 Possible fix you would want to try

1

Reset the PRAM

Improper settings in the ( SMC ) System Management Computer parameter chip (which contains some mouse and trackpad settings), may lead to problematic trackpad behavior. To reset the PRAM, hold the options-command-P-R keys at start-up, and wait for the Mac to reset and chime 3 times before releasing the keys and allowing it to boot normally.

2

Clean the Jumpy Trackpad

The trackpad needs to have a clean interaction with the skin on your finger and also around it between the top-case and the trackpad little tiny space yeah ( 1 mm ). If the apple MacBook trackpad has grime on it or there is dust in between the top case and the trackpad or if your hands are otherwise not making direct contact with the pad, it will not work properly or will be very slow or even it become jumpy or will move all over the place. Use Air Dust Spray Cleaner Can and spray around. DO NOT Spray some glass cleaner it will deteriorate the glass and you will also damage it even more!

3

Have your hands clean and dry

lotions and oils applied on your hands can cause enough interference to prevent the trackpad from working. In addition, excess wetness and sweat on your fingers can cause problems like trackpad being erratic, and you should be sure your hands are and the trackpad are dry.

4

Try to ground the mac and yourself

( ESD ) Electro Static Discharge, electricity generated by your body may interfere with the trackpad, and prevent the capacitance in the electrodes from being detected properly. Be sure static buildup in the the Macintosh is discharged by grounding it. It can be done by plugging in the power adaptor. Then be sure you are also grounded by touching the computer's case while it is grounded. Additionally, while using the trackpad, try keeping one finger such as a pinky or thumb touching the case to the side or front of the trackpad. This will prevent static charge differences between your hand and the trackpad from developing during use.

5

Try to remove your jewelry

In some cases, jewelry may influence the capacitances of the trackpad electrodes, and removing it may help having your trackpad moving on its own. This will probably be more of a factor for individuals with many bracelets and rings, watches, though any jewelry can potentially interfere with its function.
