Cursor (via Track Pad & Mouse) automatically changes to rotate picture

When I hover over a picture, the pointer changes and when I click, it rotates my photos.
How do I stop this!?!

You selected the rotate tool by pressing "R" or in the tool bar at the bottom of the viewer. Press "A" to go back to normal selection mode.

  • Disable track pad/mouse?

    I have one of the first gen macbooks. It has probably 100K miles plus on it. Needless to say it's seen better days. The track pad/enter bar is not working properly. It works fine with an external mouse. i would like to disable the track pad and the enter pad. Is there a way to do this with preferences?
    Thanx

    In Universal Access preferences click on the Mouse and Trackpad tab. There are a couple of checkboxes near the bottom to disable the trackpad when using a mouse. If you don't find it there then the option should be either in Mouse or Trackpad preferences.

  • My track pad mouse button quit working

    The mouse button on my MacBook has quit working, the track pad itself works fine, moves the mouse pointer, etc, but nothing can be selected with the button. Same problem in Windows booted through boot camp. I noticed the problem after running the boot camp support program, this may have "broken" the operation of the select button, but I don't know how to back out those driver updates.

    This has been happening to me too. I can hit Escape and things go back to normal.

  • Erratic cursor and track pad when using 220v on MBA

    Hello
    I am travelling in Europe with my MBA, and I have noticed that when it is plugged into a 220v outlet the whole case has a slight electric charge (and a very slight vibration), this apparently makes the track pad very erratic, with the cursor jumping all over when I try to move it.  I have resorted to unplugging the MBA when I want to use.
    Any thoughts/solutions on this?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    3 prong grounded extension cord may help.

  • Memory Leak/Track Pad/Mouse and Headphone Jack

    Help-
    I have a Macbook with the intel core duo. 4 GB of RAM.
    Context.
    Computer is used as a media server. Stereo is connected via an optical link from the headphone jack to an external digital to audio converter. Music is stored on external 1 TB My book. Computer is left on and idle for extended periods of time.
    Problem:
    As the computer is left idle, the trackpad/mouse become increasingly unresponsive. Eventually they stop responding all together. Un-responsive means they jump and can not be maneuvered around the screen in smooth movements. System fan begins to run as this problem gets worse and system monitor indicates memory continuing to be consumed despite no applications running other than startup apps. ---*When the optical jack is removed from the headphone jack this problem disappears*--- and the system returns to normal.
    Please help. I specifically purchased the macbook to serve as the platform for this media server and leaving it running for extended periods of time with no use is normal for me. Having the computer lock up because I have the optical headphone jack plugged in is unsat.
    Thanks -

    i also made a topic about this, i'm not sure if you're still watching it, but I found the solution by coincidence when playing around on youtube.
    http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=iAQ79JT0agY&feature=related
    "Discovered it was an issue with the headset jack. Something was triggering the digital audio jack inside. Simply cleaned the jacks and everything started to work again."
    I didn't mention earlier that when i left my headset connected, the volume icon in the menubar would go up and down in short intervals (similar to the youtube clip) Even though I can't understand how, this must have been the issue, as I just cleaned the jack, and the problem is gone. Hope this helps you as well!

  • Track Pad going insane

    hey my track pad/mouse goes mental when in daylight.  i cant stay on the icon i want, texting is a nightmare coz the curser doesnt stay where i want it.  its driving me mad.

  • Track pad and button click not working

    I have a Macbook pro from 2008, the 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4gigs ram. Recently my computer's track pad mouse stopped clicking and the tap to click function isnt working either. I can move the mouse with the trackpad and the scroll/zoom functions still work. Every once in a while the click will register, but the unclick will never happen, i.e. I will be highlighting everything on a page and wont be able to unhighlight unless i have the external mouse. When I scroll over the x - + of a window nothing shows up. I used a usb mouse and that worked fine, and shows the x - +. Anyone having this problem or have a solution for this problem?
    Thanks,
    -Matt

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One thing to check is the battery--there have been instances of the battery swelling and becoming deformed and exerting pressure on the trackpad from below. If this is the case, stop using the battery immediately before it does permanent damage.
    Apple used to have a recall on some of these batteries, but unfortunately no more. If you have access to an Apple Store, take it in and show it to the genius bar. No guarantees, but sometimes if someone feels this should have not happened, you might be able to get a free replacement.
    Good luck!

  • Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

    I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
    which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
    I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
    it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
    i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
    As Jobs sez; And more thing.
    Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
    I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
    God help us.

    Hi, me again, more data.
    I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
    And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
    BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
    I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

  • 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.

  • Track pad stopped tracking and wi fi mouse jumpy

    My track pad suddenly started acting weird, then the tracking stopped working completely. Clicking only works. I bought a wi fi mouse so I can use my laptop until I found out what's the problem and it worked for a couple of days and now it's jumpy and erratic and opening applications and shutting down pages all on its own. As I write this it keeps changing the cursor's place and going elsewhere to open drop down menus and open folders all on its own. Any idea what's going on and any advice how to resolve this issue that's making the laptop unuseable? Thanks in advance for any insights.

    I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

  • 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.

  • Hi all, my mac book pro boots up, but my track pad operation is strange, cannot click on anything, although it moves around screen ok. Cannot launch anything, nor close anything. Cannot get task bar to pop up either with the mouse movement.

    Hi All,
    My mac book pro 13". It boots ok and skype launches on boot up. connects to internet etc. However, whilst the mouse moves around the scren ok, used via the track pad, I cannot open anything, close anything, or get the task bar to pop up.
    I can close the laptop down via the power key, and can use some short cut keys, but the track pad operation is iffy, can you suggest how I rectify this.
    I have now solved this, for future reference, I have a magic track pad as well and that was connected via bluetooth and sitting else where in the house. It blocked the laptops trackpad operations. When disconnected, my laptop track pad works fine.
    Cheers

    Sulapeace,
    for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them?

    Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
    Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
    The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.
