Having trouble with the trackpad on my Lenovo X201
I'm trying ot get Arch set up on my new Lenovo X201 thinkpad and I've got as far as getting X up and running. However, I'm having some problems with the trackpad.
First of all the mouse pointer is a little crazy, leaps all over the screen and is very difficult to control - any ideas on how to improve on that? Also, I've tried following various wiki examples of how to get things working (in particular using the right side of the pad for vertical scrolling) and I'm not having much luck there...
Any advice?
Never mind - it turns out that just installing synaptics fixed everything :-)

Anyone having trouble with the trackpad on their new Macbook Air?
I bought the new (2012) Macbook Air 2 days after they were released. I have been using a PC forever and was looking forward to this being the right time to switch over to the Mac. However, my trackpad doesnt work well at all and it is to the point where I want to return this thing. Once the mac notices I am moving my finger it tracks fine, but if I stop for 5 seconds and resume moving it, it will not pickup on the movement and I need to try many times before it starts tracking properly. This is most annoying and from my point of view makes this otherwise beautiful laptop unnacceptable. I have tried plugged and unplugged as I read this an issue in earlier mac airs, but it doesnt matter. It seems like there is a software interrupt that is not a high enough priority and the computer get's busy about something else and forgets about the trackpad.
Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

Having trouble with my trackpad does it have to be sent off for repair
Having trouble with my trackpad,it freezes up computer whenever I touch it. Now I'm using a wireless mouse to operarte. Does this sound like something I will have to send off to be repaired?
Hey Betty2241,
Thanks for the question. Let's try a few things first:
1) It'll be a great troubleshooting step to reset the SMC:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

2) See this article for Magic Trackpad troubleshooting:

Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around while typing since you installed Lion? Never had any problems of that sort prior to Lion. I have an older machine. I believe it is a 2008 MacBook Pro. Especially happens with Yahoo. I am baffled.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer.
Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer
It does sound very Watch Folders-esque, however, it seems strange that there are many folders involved. Are all the folders under a single parent folder perhaps? If so, you could try renaming or moving that folder. Additionally, to clarify, all 60 files are images, correct?
Additionally, you can try creating a new catalog, just to see if that lets you in. Hold down the Shift key while launching the Organizer. If you get the timing right, the Catalog Manager will appear. -

I need any help i can get, im having trouble with the app find my iphone. I have lost my iphone, checked on the computer, and somehow, took it away so how do i get it back??If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

I am having trouble with the cache in bridge. When i open I get a message saying bridge has encountered a problem reading the cache try purging in the central cache to correct the situation. I did that but now when I try to get to the folders where my photos are stored bridge never gets to where I can work. The message appears "building criteria" and I get an endless loop on the lower left panel. How do I correct?
You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

I am having trouble with the initial connection of the apple tv. I have isolated the problem to the cable/connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?
There are only two types of HDMI cables (standard and high speed - listen to all 1.2, 1.3 etc etc nonsense they will try to tell in the store) both types will work with the Apple TV.
The cable may be faulty though, have you got another to try, what exactly is happening. -
