Keyboard & track pad have a mind of their own

My G4 ibook 1.33 had developed a problem with characters moving at random, and the trackpad doing what it wants, when it wants. This is confusing to try and describe but I'll try. Bought this ibook in October 2005.
When I scroll through a page, it starts to highlight for no reason.
When moving over a hyperlink, it will click on it without me pressing on the trackpad clicker.
When signing into my e-mail, it will jump from screen name to password in the middle of my typing the screen name. Very erratic.
Example:
The screen name is: [email protected]
password is: mypassword,
What happens is that in the middle of typing the screen name, it will jump down to password, and sometimes actually click on the login button.
It will look like this: Password: johnsm password: [email protected]
This will also happen when I'm writing a paper, or e-mail. Sometimes my e-mail will be sent before I'm finished. It has a mind of it's own.
Does not matter if "Ignore accidental trackpad input" is checked or not. I've been keeping my palms off of the area around the track pad while typing lately, thinking that it might be a sensitivity problem, no change though.
Just had major work done by Apple due to a failing firewire port.: Repair was:
Product serviced by replacing the following: 630-759, PCBA, MLB, 1.33GHZ, Better, Q72b, NT EEET:43.
I also described the problem above to the Apple tech before I sent it out, but it's still exists. He mentioned open firmware problem might be present.
I puchased the ibook in October, 2005
Ran hardware test from original CD, passed, no problems.
Software up to date.

Hi Nyj Shooter,
Have you tried changing your Trackpad preferences? Try going to System Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Trackpad. Try changing your settings around a bit. Under Trackpad Gestures, make sure Clicking, Dragging, and Drag Lock are not checked. Also under Trackpad Options, select Ignore Accidental Trackpad Input.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Keyboard track pad freezing

My keyboard and track pad freeze when no movment is done for about 50 seconds
but it only does it when it is not connected to the internet or when anything is connected to the usb port I really mean anything (mouse, camera, hard drive)
After it freezes I can un freeze it by pluging anything into the usb port or close the lid and put the computer to sleep then open it and it will be unfrozen.
I have tried
Hardware test (extended and normal no problems found)
Archive and instal
Turning off put hard disk to sleep when ever possible
It's almost like if the computer is doing nothing the track pad and keyboard freeze
can anyone help

Mac Book Pro Keyboard, Track pad not responding at login page

URGENT! URGENT! I´m currently in the middle of the amazon shooting a documentary and my Macbook Pro boots up to the login page but I cannot nothing appears on the login line when I type, and my track pad in not responding. Keyboard and track pad dead. However, I can hit the control-apple-power button and get the shutdown-restart-sleep sceen. I plugged in my usb mouse and that works--track pad does not.
I have rebooted, with power supply, without power supply; removed-replaced battery; still the same problem, boot to login screen--now keyboard, not track pad.
Any suggestions?

I also have this problem. After closing my MBP to put it into sleep mode, I opened it a few hours later to resume work and the machine was locked up. I shut the machine down by holding the power key for 5 seconds. Now, every time I try to restart, the login screen appears (after a very long boot time) but the trackpad and keyboard do not respond.
My summer internship final project is due in 3 days and I am desperate. Please help!

MacBook Pro Keyboard / Track Pad issues.

Help, I am unable to log into my computer, my keyboard and track pad do not respond.
I had been having problems with an external DVD drive not mounting in 10.5.2. Console would she errors that it would not mount. Under the device manager I would see the drive as usb to IDE with the title of what ever disk I had loaded.
I read on the board here a possible solution that did match one of the error messages I received about 'IOUSBFamily is unable to enumerate a USB device.' That I should delete the IOUSBFamily.ktext file under /system/libraries/extensions. Along with the kernel cashes file.
After doing that I restarted my system. Once the MBP loads to the sign in screen I am unable to do any thing else except use the power button to force the computer to turn off. The keyboard and track pad are both unresponsive. However I am able to get the keyboard to respond before the computer starts up, for example resetting the PRAM with holding Command - Option - R - P until the computer chimes again. I am at a complete loss as to where I can go next. I am unable to reinstall OS X at this time or take the computer to a Genius because I am deployed to Iraq. I also would really like to not loss all my data on it.
Any help is very much appredicated.
Thank you from Iraq.

"I am unable to reinstall OS X at this time"
Why? Because you do not have the System Install DVD with you in Iraq? You really need it to troubleshoot.
If you have any 3rd party utilites with you like DiskWarrior and/or TechTool Pro, see if you can boot from them.
I just checked, there are no Apple User Groups in Iraq or Jordan.
Hopefully, someone else will chime in here with other solutions (if any).

Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

Hello folks. Am new to the community. Asked a question but didn't go through.
Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac. I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
It froze up after several hours. Is it ok to use both together? I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
stuff is easier on the track pad.
Thanks for your help.

That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

Temporary internet files and track pad

hi there.
I purchases my macbook on black friday. I love it. I used one about 14 yrs ago..and some things have changed. it is much easier to navigate.
I have a few questions. I will try to put them in the correct forums.
temp internet files
1. does make have temporary internet files and cookies like PCs do. DO you need to delete them like you need to on a PC? If so, how is this done?
trackpad
2. on my tablet, I could tap on my trackpad to where i want my cursor to be. When I am using my mac, I have to click on the left click . Is there any way to do this by tapping on the track pad?
thanks for your help

Should it go gray after you first empty the caches as you just emptied it and there should be nothing left to empty?
No. It'll remain selectable (in black) regardless of the state of the cache.
Also is there a folder that contains the files, so that you can physically view if there are any that have not been delieted.
Yes there is…
~/Library/Caches/Safari
… where ~ means your home directory.

Is there a way to disable track pad from moving faders?

The track pad is great for mousing around, zooming in, zooming out.
It's not great for making destructive mix commands.
Actually ******* horrible for it.
Any way to work around this without like, buying an external mouse?

Hi Everyone,
To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

After Yosemite Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow Click

Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow click after a period of usage. After Forced reboot track pad works fine for a few hours. This started within hours of installing Yosemite. Help, I am afraid I will lose a document during reboot. So far I have been lucky and have not lost data.
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) SSD

Could be many things, we should start with this...
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change on reboot?

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

MacBook Pro Keyboard and tracking pad issues

I bought a refurbed macbook pro from Apple about 10 months ago. I've loved everything about it . . . until now. Yesterday I turned it on and started having keyboard issues. First the y key wouldn't work, then the rest of the keys followed. At that point, it was still starting up normally, but then the tracking pad would only "right click" on items on my desk top, so I couldn't open applications.
Now it will only open up in safe mode and it makes a noise like I'm pressing all the keys at once at start-up. Nothing happened to it between Saturday night when it was working perfectly and Sunday morning so I'm mystified. I brought it to the genius bar this morning and they also couldn't see what was wrong. Genius said something about how some keys looked "stuck" but mentioned it didn't looked like anything was spilled on it or anything.
The only "weird" thing about it is that the hing between the screen and the keyboard has always been a little loose but I didn't know until my husband bought a new pro a few months later and I felt the difference. The genius didn't seem to think that would mean anything.
They told me it would be at least $280 to send it out, diagnose, and fix it. Considering it's less than a year old, I'm a little reluctant (and poor) to do that right way especially since he had no clue what the problem might be.
I'm planning on trying another Genius Bar to see if they might have a better idea (hey, it worked with my ipod once) but I've been combing the message boards to see if anyone has had a similar issue. I found an older thread that talked about 2008 pros haven't issues with the keyboard and trackpad freezing due to a "faulty pressure connector" so I might try that solution when I get home. But any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you bought your Mac from Apple 10 months ago, it should still be covered by the 1 year warranty and as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage of some sort, it should be repaired at no cost to you. Was the store aware that you were still under warranty?
You can even upgrade to 3 year Applecare if you do so before the first year of ownership is up--definitely something to do if your Mac is having troubles already.
When you see the next genius, make sure they know you are still in the 1 year warranty period, and if you can, upgrade to 3 year Applecare.
You can also call Applecare on the phone and tell them about these problems and ask them for a case number, which will at least establish that they started while you were still under warranty. If a problem first occurs under warranty, Apple will honor the warranty until the problem is fixed, even if the warranty runs out in the meantime.
Good luck!

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.
