Track pad not functioning correctly

My MacBook 5,1 is having issues with the track pad.
Clicking on a folder to open and scrolling are fine. Even a feather like click works, so sensitivity is still functional.
Click and drag and what Apples called secondary click to get drop down menus at different locations are both not working. So highlighting text and secondary/right clicking a misspelled work to get suggestions all don't function.
I have tried different settings in the preferences, without a solution to this.
I tested using a mouse for click and drag and this works, but I would preferred to use the track pad if possible.
IS there a way to remove the preferences for the track pad from the system and then reboot or some similar solution to resolve this?
Thank you.

The situation is unchanged, if anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue with the track pad it would be most welcome.
I s there any software fix or something I can do?
Thank you

TS1248 Track Pad not working correctly after upgrading to OSX10.8

I've the same issue since yeterday night after upgrading to OSX10.8 from OSX10.6. The problem I am having is only right side of the track pad is not working.. Did some one already experience this issue ?
See screen shot
Cheers,
Vivek

In addtion to Altenbach's comments -
I'd recommend trying another VI function to get the power spectrum for
your signal to see if the behavior is the same. You can find some
examples of VIs using the power spectrum functions using the NI Example
Finder.
You can go to LabVIEW's Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.
Then search for FFT. There should be some results that include FFT and
Power Spectrum Units.vi, Power Spectrum Measurement.vi, Basic Spectral Measurements.vi, and Spectrum Measurements.vi. Try opening and
running these examples to see if the VIs are returning the proper
results.

Track pad not responding correctly, what to do?

The track pad is not responding as it should, arrow moves on its own at times and when clicked it does not respond or click where it should. Have tried restarting it and it will work fine for a min or so then go back to being inaccurate.

What OS are you using. Your profile shows IOS 5 but that is for an iPhone or iPad.

Spry Menu Issues - Not functioning correctly in Microsoft IE

Hi there,
I am fairly new to web design and dreamweaver.
I have constructed a simple page that I am happy with complete with Spry Menu which again I am happy with. However this spry menu works perfectly in firefox but for some reason on IE my spry menu does not function correctly and goes all over my page!

Any further information required please message me to find out.

THE CONFLICT IS BETWEEN YOUR DOCUMENT CSS AND THE SPRY CSS.
It is because the <li> and <a> TAGS have been styled and therefore OVERRIDDEN THE SPRY CSS.
Use CLASS TAGS e.g. <li class="anyclass"> and <a class="anyclass">
and STOP USING THE <a> TAGS.
N.b. you may need to unstyle any <a> or other TAGS that conflict with the SPRY CSS. (However it's best to start over knowing that styling basic tags may affect the SPRY CSS).

Touchpad not functioning correctly

I have an Envy 17,(Windows 7) and the touch pad is not functioning correctly. I have had it do similar things in the past but they seemed to fix themselves after a few minutes, but this time it just keeps messing up. I CAN click on programs to open them but once in a program, I cannot click on anything. I CAN click on links when online, but they always open in a new tab and when I attempt to click on a new tab, the tab completely closes out. Once a program is opened, I cannot close/minimize/maximize it using the touchpad, nor can I access File/Edit/other menu options. I also cannot click in a typing field. (I'm using a different computer to do this post)I can barely move the curser around. It jumps or freezes up. I move it up about an inch and as soon as I take my finger off the touchpad the curser goes back to where it originally was. I've tried restarting the computer but that hasn't worked. I've attempted tried some other things as well, but since I cannot click on anything with the touchpad and can barely move the curser, I am at a loss for what to even try. Everything was working fine this morning. I literally got up from the computer, made breakfast and sat back down and it was all glitched up. No one had touched it... I had not recently downloaded anything nor have I made any updates to the computer. Thank you, Neyephe

Hello there, It sounds like there is a hardware issue with your touchpad, which you need to replace. As stated in the warranty, the touchpad may only be replaced by an Authorized Service Provider. If you cannot find any places that are authorized, you may contact the HP Support Center via phone and arrange a date for your touchpad to be replaced. In the meantime, you can buy a USB mouse to navigate your laptop. Best wishes getting your issue fixed! Best Regards,Shawn

"ChnCFCFiltCalc" in Crash option not functioning correctly

It appears that the "EndPoints" option for the "ChnCFCFiltCalc" command is not functioning correctly. It does not seem to be reflecting the points to pad the data at the beginning and end of the signal. This is based on the results of filtering done with and without the option activated. Not activating the option appears to reflect the data and you get the results you would expect to see with the option activated. Activating the option give you results you would expect to see without the option activated.
I am using Version 8.0.981
This was functioning correctly in previous versions. Can you tell me when the "EndPoints" option stopped functioning correctly? I assume it was with Version 8.0. Is it correc
ted in Version 8.1?

Hi,
The parameter "CFCPREEVENTTYPE" is an enumeration variable with the selection "EndPoints" or "ZeroMagnitude" and not is optional.
Every mathematical function in DIAdem represents their parameters in global variables - eg. "CFCPREEVENTTYPE" as one parameter of the function "ChnCFCFiltCalc".
If you now call a function in a VBScript you have two possibilities
a) call the function with parameters like ChnCFCFiltCalc(X, Y, E, CFCFiltType, 0,"EndPoints")
b) call the function without parameters like ChnCFCFiltCalc
In case b) DIAdem will use the current content of the global parameter variable.
Maybe that this is you problem.
Kind regards
Walter

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

Hyperlinks Are Not Functioning Correctly

I have a problem with the some of the hyperlinks in my
WebHelp Pro project not functioning correctly once the project is
compiled. What happens is that when I click on a hyperlink the text
doesn't change from blue to purple. Not all the hyperlinks on a
page are affected; some may work while others do not.
When I look at the HTML code, I see two different things
happening, and both things may not occur in the same code:
1) In some documents the code reads "a visited=0000ff." The
value should be 800080.
2) In other documents "font color=blue" is being added to the
HTML code for a particular hyperlink. Other hyperlink code in the
same document may be unaffected.
I have checked the font color in the editor to make sure it
was set to "automatic" before I created the hyperlink. I removed
the hyperlinks altogether, recompiled, then opened the document
back up and recreated the hyperlinks. The problem still exists.
Every document in my project is using the default.css style sheet.
I use the same paragraph style throughout the project, both on the
links that work correctly and those that do not.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? And if so, do you
know the fix? I could manually edit the HTML code before publishing
my project, but that is just a bandaid fix.

The hyperlink color is controlled by the style sheet. I edit
my style sheets in a text editor. Make sure you clear your browser
history before testing the color changes.
FWIW, I like my links to stay blue--I usually have the color
change to purple in hover just to indicate that what is moused is
indeed a viable link.

ICal not functioning correctly

First of all, I have been using Entourage which I sync with iCal so that I can sync my calendar with my iPhone. I would like to discontinue using Entourage but for some reason, iCal is not functioning correctly. First, the calendars do not appear in the left hand window and I cannot seem to figure out how to get them to appear.
Second, when iCal opens off of the dock, there is nothing showing on the calendar at all. When I change the view (i.e., month, to week) then all of my scheduled events appear. When I go back to the original view, everything appears. When I attempt to sync with MobileMe, I get a message at the website that "a script is not responding." I don't know whether the two are related or not.
Any help?????

I have the same problems. Also, I can't enter a "multi day' event, the system tells me there is a fault and it cannot synch. I was automatically updated to MobileMe, but the system isn't performing as promised.

I believe my firefox is viewing some websites on my laptop in formats that are used for cellular devices. Sites like facebook, sports illustrated, yahoo are not functioning correctly but certain sites work fine.

sits such as facebook, yahoo, and sports illustrated do not function correctly on firefox but they do on my internet explorer. I believes its somehow set itself into the same format used for cellular devices... My JSU.edu page says somethin about it being in (portal mode). It is also a different format now that normal.

Hi @TheBigGiggle ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC and a keys not functioning correctly. Here is a document on cleaning the keyboard.
I would start with air on the keys as sometimes debris can cause this issue.
Here is a link to uninstall the keyboard. In the device manager have you uninstall all that is listed in keyboards, restart the computer after uninstalling, it should reinstall automatically and resolve any issues with the keyboard.
Here is a link to keyboard troubleshooting.
Here is a fix from Microsoft that might help.
Let me know how this goes.

N96 Telephone Service Not Functioning Correctly

Good evening folks,
Now, I've had this problem for as long as I've had an N96. TWO N96's in fact, as my first was replaced by Nokia due to the screen-slide connection malfunctioning. Both have been fully firmware updated and restored on multiple occasions in an attempt to fix the problem.
The telephone service on the handset has the habit of not functioning correctly, like the service has hanged or just doesn't respond.
For example, I find a contacts name in contacts, press the green key to show their contact numbers, and green again on the number I wish to call- nothing happens, other than the available numbers disappear and you return to the regular contacts view. This is what would normally happen anyway, only you'd have an outgoing call happening over it and showing the "telephone" screen.
Or, example two, in a text message I chose Options > Call > Voice Call and press the select or middle button to initiate the call- No call, instead the options dialogue disappears and I return to the standard message view. Again, I should be in an outgoing call, not viewing my text message.
Example three, to really show the telephone service isn't working;
I'm in full signal, text messages are functioning correctly and the mobile web is working flawlessly. A friend sat next to me rings me and is immediately directed to my voicemail, not a single indication from the handset that I may have been receiving a call.
Seconds later I receive a text message from my operator to let me know about a new voicemail my friend just left me.
So, the telephone service isn't functioning as it should be.
A quick restart fixes the problem in 4 out of 5 cases, however usually within 24 hours the problem is persisting again.
Not being able to make outgoing calls isn't a problem, because at least then I know the telephone service has failed on me and I can restart.
A potentially important incoming call about anything being directed immediately to my voicemail? Problematic, especially if they don't leave a message and instead just keep trying me, as I receive no notification from my operator about missed calls and there is no way other than to try and make an outgoing call as to determine whether the service is still functioning.
It isn't shown as a regular application whilst not in a call and I don't believe I should even have to check if it's still running as this function is the main function implied in the device category 'smartphone'.
Rant over, so if there's anyone out there who could shed some light onto this situation, please do.
Also, kind of off topic- but in the case that this is a universal problem (which I'm assuming it is, having had two completely different handsets with the same symptoms), do I go after Nokia to provide me with a different model of handset, or the supplier (The Carphone Warehouse) since my handset isn't properly providing a function that is advertised?
Somehow I presume I'm rightfully entitled to a reimbursement or different model. Hopefully.
Thanks in advance people

You're so right.... I managed to get over the problems, never upgraded the firmware... Once I got all the apps I use and needed, never touched it.... Still the phone is a mess, worst ever... I came from an Iphone, fleeing from lock OS and stuff, and found myself in a Symbian hell..... Definitely Windows Mobile... I'm so down on this phone, I spent 650 dollars, one year ago.... The worst investment ever... Never again a Nokia or a Symbian smartphone, for cheap ones apparently are the best. I'll wait another year, to feel less pain when buying a new one for 600-1000 dollars.
Solution: Buy another phone... Better if it is a Windows Mobile.... As HTC for example.
