Chinese trackpad input not working - won't insert characters

Hi all,
I've been trying to set up chinese character input for an hour already, and no luck yet. I've read tons of articles here but the solutions mentioned made no difference.
I open TextEdit (or Chrome, Notes, Safari... any app, really) and hit ctrl-shift-space bar. The little handwriting recognition window comes up. I draw a character, it's recognized correctly, I tap the appropriate place to insert it... and nothing happens.
It doesn't seem to be a font issue, because even if I draw a 3, for instance, it is simply not inserted.
I'm using 10.8.5
Thanks

That is a sign of an expanding battery. Bring the MBP to an Apple store genius bar ASAP.
You can remove the battery if you have a #00 Phillips driver for the back panel and a #0 Triwing driver to remove the battery. The Triwing may not be easy to get locally.
Ciao.

If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer and battery checked out.
Best.

Chinese Trackpad Input brokecomm, barrier for millions using a Mac notebook

Hello World. To those who speak, read and write in chinese.
I was just playing with the chinese trackpad input and it rocks, I liked it since it first appeared on the iphone, but SL just put it on a whole new level. Talk about localization....go Apple Inc.
Note: One thing I would love to see on a future build of MAC OS is localization of lang.'s using text to speech. Now that would be some $&^(^(*&....

I think this is present already, but you have to acquire the voices elsewhere.

Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

My mac fall and now the trackpad is not working?

So today my macbook fall and the bottom left part of the trackpad is not working . I can still move the cursor, but if I click on the bottom left corner of the trackpad, I cannot tap the other trackpad part, it will not respond. To make it respond again, I need to click on the bottom right corner of the trackpad, so I can tap the other trackpad parts. In short, I must TAP to click, I can't click on the bottom left corner. The secondary click (bottom right corner or two fingers tap) works fine.
There's no Apple Store in my city (or even country, I live in Indonesia), I just have an Apple Reseller on my city. What do I need to do?

I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device. Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally. You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies. Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling). You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all.

Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all. Need suggestions to resolve this issue? I have applied all Mac updates and still having problems with the trackpad.

The machine has a 1 year warranty, book an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at.
You can try doing a SMC reset however I don't think that is the solution.
SMC RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
• On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-• Option keys and the power button at the same time.
• Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

My trackpad is not working in bootcamp 4.0 with windows 7

I just purchased an iMac and upgraded to Lion. I then created a bootcamp partician and installed Windows 7 Professional. Everything went smoothly until the trackpad driver was installed. It failed. The trackpad will not work. I have tried to add it through the Bluetooth interface, but I get the eternal circle of **** from Microsoft...Not much of an improvement on the old hourglass of ****. Anyway, please help get this driver updated for bootcamp so I can use my trackpad.

I think that has always been a problem at times. though surprised.
I would assume disabling and then reinstalling or along those lines.
Uninstall the driver Apple has or see if you can "rollback" in Device Manager.
Startup items from msconfig would be one place.
I assume you can do a safe boot / boot from Windows DVD and restore to point prior to this / if you have Snow Leopard use 3.0 thru 3.2 drivers instead

My trackpad is not working properly since installing the upgrade. What should I do?

My trackpad is not working properly since installing the upgrade. The keyboard is also not working right. What should I do?

If not, contact the store from where the computer was purchased.

My trackpad is not working properly already. Is it eligible for replacement?

My trackpad is not working properly sometimes and it takes too long for my macbook to open

Whether your MacBook is legible for a replacement depends on the products warranty...
When did you purchase the product? Was it a new purchase or a second-hand purchase?

My trackpad is not working it moves the arrow but I cannot click on anything or drag anything

My trackpad is not working on my MacBook pro. I can get the arrow to move but I cannot open files or drag files when I click.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

My trackpad is not working. Any help?

This morning my iMac alerted me to change my batteries, which I have done. However, the Trackpad is not working. It is not a problem with the Bluetooth because my keyboard is working just fine. After restarting the computer, I tried turning on the trackpad. The green light did not flash. The Bluetooth Assistance did turn on, however. I cannot access it for obvious reasons. Is there anyway I can set up the Bluetooth using my keyboard?
I have an old wireless mouse that i used on a computer I owned about four years ago. Will that work?

Line-in input not working correctly in Garageband

Problem:
Line-in input not working correctly with Garageband. Problem occurred AFTER installing and using Blue Yeti USB mic, purchased from the Apple store.
System Details:
'07 20" iMac 2.4GHz 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.5, Garageband '11 v6.0, Logitech Z4 speakers.
Background:
Before using the Yeti USB mic, I used the line-in jack. I'd connect a Shure mic or guitars directly in, but more recently through a 12 channel mixer. Have connected the Shure mic directly into the input jack, and the computer appears to be picking it up (System Preferences->Sound->Input), it is responding correctly there. Have set the output to the headphone (line-out) jack. When I go into Garageband, I can select from Line-in 1, Line-in 2, and Line-in Stereo. The trouble is that it's the iMac's built-in mic that is active (the one above the screen), not the line-in. I've rebooted the computer, checked the connections, reconnected the Yeti mic and I can't find what's causing the problem. Not sure what to do from here, need some help. Thanks

I have Logic Express on the iMac as well and I worked out how to set the input device back to the Line-In. I went back to Garageband and found the equivalent setting under Preferences->Audio/MIDI. Thanks for reading, sorry I didn't sort it out sooner! Merry Christmas!

Multi-touch trackpad is not working correctly anymore

My multi-touch trackpad is not working - it stops working after the first 10 seconds.
It is since today.
After reboot it works for the first 10 seconds - then it is like it needs to have a few seconds for reaction.
Any idea for the permanent blocking of the cursor?

That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
Thanks!
