ALPS touch pad on the HP laptop

We are new to the lap top world and find the way the touchpad pointer works not to our liking.
I have gone through the settings and have yet to find a way to turn the pointer off what I call the "Hover mode". Gestures and double click speed settings have not helped.
If you happen to leave the pointer over any clickable link it will be activated and this has led to some real problems at times.

Did you try adjusting the touch pad sensitivity?

How to disable the touch pad on the HP 6730b laptop? None of the prev sugg have worked

An associate of mine is working on an HP 6730b and her wrist or sleeve keeps brushing against the touch pad, making the pointer jump around. Since she doesn't use it anyway, she wants to disable it, but none of the suggestions I've found have worked. There is no on/off button near it on this model; nor a Device Settings tab in the touch pad's Properties, so she can't go the simple route. Thanks so much to anyone who can provide any assistance - Lorian

After updating Firefox today I can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen with two fingers on my MacBook Pro touch pad. The feature still works on antother browser. Anyone know why?

Can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Having trouble with the touch pad responding when I click it on the macbook pro I have to click it about 3 to 4 times before it works

has anyone had trouble with the touch pad on the macbook pro not working properly. I have to click it 3 or 4 times befre it responds. Can these be replaced?

Your MacBook Pro has enough compute power to do airframe stress analysis modeling or weather forecasting. This is not a computational issue.
Most USB printers do the imaging on the Mac, then send the stream of bits to the printer. The speed of doing this depends on the Printer driver.
Some drivers will image the page in "slices", and then pause to image the next slice after the first one completes. This may also depend on whether you have enough RAM memory available to do the imaging for a whole page at a time.
You have not mentioned what Printer, or whether this is indeed the latest driver for it.

Satellite A660 - touch pad on/off and other buttons don't work

Dear People on this forum,
Recently, around 3 weeks ago i opened up my computer and i cleaned it, took the dust out because it was overheating.
around 2 weeks before I noticed that my touch pad is not working and the top buttons are not working, there is no light (wireless multimedia sound buttons) I cant turn them off/on or I either don't know how. I am not sure if the problem is because I cleaned my laptop and did not connect some wires back but I am including this detail because I don't use those buttons so I did not notice if they were on. but 2 days ago I am not sure how my wireless went off ant when I press fn+f8 (wireless) it says wireless communication switch is off, which is one of the buttons that is not working (at the top next to of/on switch including with my touch pad)
I have tried the following:
windows update
turn off computer take out all wires and battery and wait for around 30min. Then hold then on button for 30s
reinstalling the flash cards support utility, hw setup and value added pack
and finally a Toshiba out of the box recovery using the 2 product recovery cd's
I am not sure what to do next. it is either:
try something else
or is there a wire is connected to both touch pad and the buttons at the top and i should open up my laptop again and connect them.
please answer as to my next step to recovering my wireless.
Your dear member of the forums, kaujis

Please dont understand me wrong but I dont know how to help you now. Notebook disassembling is for authorized people only and if you do this on your own there is always a risk that something can be done wrong or maybe damaged.
OK I must also say that I have also disassembled my machine too but I was lucky and everything is OK as before.
I dont know how A660 looks inside but the principle is always the same and I cannot imagine you have damaged anything.
You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you should do now is final functionality test and install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. Test functionality with factory settings. If the problem is still there, Im afraid you must open notebook again and check if everything is connected properly.
Last option is to contact service and ask for help.

HP ProBook 4530s mouse touch pad

I have disabled mouse touch pad. Having restarted laptop I noticed that LED indicator for mouse touch pad was turned off and mouse pointer accepts finger moves/clicks on touch pad (it was enabled) until I logged on when LED turned on and mouse touch pad was disabled . Is this normal behaviour? The same is happening when laptop is powered on.

Hi BoxIKG,
Thank you for your inquiry,
Your Probook is a commercial unit. I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial/Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
I hope this helps.

Satellite A300 - touch pad dead after BIOS 2.20 update

Hi,
exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N running Win XP.
i had a problem with the webcam, and i read in the forum that it may be solved by a BIOS update. so i went ahead and downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website specifically for my laptop model. it went completely well with no errors.
however when the computer restarted after the BIOS update my touchpad doesn't work anymore.
i went to the Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "This device is working properly". but its totally dead and will not respond including the 2 buttons. before i updated the BIOS i had never had any problems with it.
Tried FN+F9 to no avail. plugged in a USB mouse and it works with no problems. In fact, when i plugged in the mouse the synaptics software said " Disabling the touch pad due to external pointing device" so the device driver for the touchpad is working.
if i remove the mouse it will say the touch pad is restored but it is still not working. rebooted many times and still the same problem. went into the BIOS and selected "Default" still a no go.
Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
I really need the touch pad for the way i use the laptop...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. i already checked the BIOS setting for "Pointing Devices" and made sure its enabled. its the only setting in there that relates to the touch pad. just to make sure though i disabled it and then rebooted, after which i rebooted again and enabled it to no effect. i know this is not an isolated instance, as my search has turned up some with exactly the same problem. I'm really disappointed with Toshiba.
regards,

Touch pad Failure T400

Hello,
I apologize in advance if this has already been posted and solved.
I have a T400 and the touch pad just randomly stopped working. I tried to use the shortcut 'Fn + F8" to get the UltraNav Utility to work, but it threw me an error. It told me to enable the touch pad in the BIOS. I tried looking in the BIOS and the track pad does not have an option in the BIOS. I looked in a similar laptop and there is in fact a BIOS setting for this. I have already done a BIOS update and taken apart the computer to see if it got unplugged. I put it back together and it still didn't fix it.
Does this mean that my touch pad is dead?
Thanks in advance,
JD

I have a T400 that had a touchpad (Ultranav) failure and the problem was fixed by a systemboard replacement. Call this machine in for service if it is under warranty.

DV6-3133nr Touch pad

I am having issues with right click on my touch pad. I purchased this laptop yesterday and already tried updating the drivers. I also went to the synaptics settings to enable buttons and it still will not right click anything. Everything else is fine with the touch pad except the right click.

OK, so I checked that on my laptop, the animated tray icon, indicates that i am doing a right click, if i tap on the left Click Zone are...But If i press the right click down, it does register it as right click...
The other thing i observed was if it tap on the right Click Zone, left click registers it white color, but if i actually press the left click it registers it in green color...
Check what happen in Quickweb and let me know...

In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad

In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad?

The multigesture buttonless trackpad was introduced with the Unibody Macs that came out in Late 2008. Successive models have built upon that, adding 2, 3 and more fingers to the gestures.
Older models don't have the trackpad hardware needed to detect those motions and, hence, cannot support multigestures. Only resort is using combination of keys with the button, as disguise suggests.

Zen Touch: problem with touch pad and formatt

Hi guys!
I have a Zen Touch 20gb but I'm experiencing big problems with my touch pad: it really doesn't work fine, precision is almost none, to poit the desired voice in any menu I have to work hard. If the menu is longer it is almost impossible to navigate it with precision. I can't move of a single position, it jumps at least two... Is it a common problem or should I take it to be checked up?
2nd problem:
I was trying to format the player's HD. Instructions said press play botton and contemporarly reset hole.
But nothing happens. When I release the system reboots.
Any idea?
Thanx!
Gp

Please be patient with the touch pad. Reading these boards, I think a lot of people are not really understanding how the touch pad works and assuming it's defecti've and returning the Touch. First, set the sensitivity to where it's best for you. If you can't move only one line at a time, you may have it set too sensiti've. Second, use your index finger, not your thumb. Then, practice moving around. For me, it was really easy to move rapidly through the choices or to move just one line at a time. But moving at medium speed always tripped me up, until I figured out the technique of repeatedly stroking the touch pad through the slow zone to move several lines at a time, just like you were using a scroll wheel.
