Help! Trackpad is crazy

Hello everyone!
I've just updated my iMac to the lastest version of Mountain Lion and now the Magic Trackpad is clicking or selecting text (and deleting it) by itself. I've changed the batteries twice and is not a problem with it.
I don't know what else to do and I don't have a mouse or a substitute for it right now.
Thanks in advance.

You are not alone my friend - I have this problem too
Since 'upgrading' to OSX 10.8.2 my Magic Trackpad is 'magically' clicking and right-clicking stuff all by itself...
Only happened since 10.8.2 so nothing to do with the hardware.
Having to use internal trackpad on my rMBP now as Magic Trackpad is unusable until this bug is fixed
Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for Apple to identify the cause and get a fix out...

Not at this time. It would also be great to have an adjustment for sensitivity too.

Synaptics trackpad going crazy with Windows 10

The trackpad on my Hp Envy M7 Model-G6U51UA#ABA trackpad has been going crazy with windows 10. Sometimes (most of the time) the thing does not respond at all (clicks or fingermovement) when it does occasionaly it will zoom in/out with only one finger (NEVER did this with windows 8.1) I am DESPERATE FOR HELP!! I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it (driver from hp's website)

Thank you for your help on this!
Yes, I tried 1440x900 with no other settings. That's actually how I have it now. It allows me to go up to 1152x768, but that's it. ;-)
To the previous question on 1400x1050.. Yes I tried that also. It was in the modelines from the hdw config that I had, but since my monitor will only support up to x900, it wouldn't work either.
My existing 'abbreviated' conf settings are below, I've download the nvidia driver (pacman -S nvidia) and tried changing the driver below from nv to nvidia, but X complained and wouldn't start, so I'm back to the 'nv' driver below:

Help: Trackpad&Mouse desappeared from System Preferences

I do not find Trackpad&Mouse in SystemPref at all, so I cannot control trackpad and apple wireless mouse...it is possible I have put something in the trash by mistake... what I have to do now? Not reistalling OS, I hope...
iBook G4 OS 10.4.11 AppleWirelessMouse (Bluetooth)

Hi pinomirenda, e un caloroso benvenuto al forum!
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Trash this file...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Reboot.
If that doesn't help, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Pages not Loading-HELP! Going crazy here!

I cannot figure this out to save my life. I cannot create a link that works from one page to the next. I mean the link works but you don't see anything. The page comes up black. On the Highlight page you can hear the film playing in the back but can't see anything.
I tried changing the Photoshop made pages from PNG files to Jpeg Files. Didn't work. I tried re-publishing everything. Didn't work. I tried re-creating the entire site. Didn't work. I tried saving the PNG files interlaced then not. Didn't work. I can't figure this out and it is starting to bug me. I want to get this new site up and going. Take a look at it and help if you can. Thanks.

Take a look at it and help if you can.
Easier to do if you provide the url.

Also, your actionPerformed() method is spelled incorrectly, and so your class isn't fulfilling its obligation to inherit the ActionListener interface.
Please indent your code properly and use code tags in the future, like this:

Help ! Going crazy : stuck with leopard Setup Assistant

I've installed and used Leopard since its launch.
Experienced some minor problems : iCal stopped when trying to open a Task... Bin could not empty on securized mode.
Today, after the same problem, I had to force to reboot and now it's running to Mac OS X Setup Assistant again and again, as if it never got it.
What can I do ?
Thanks for your help.

It does not appear that the Skype team is monitoring the forum as there are many of these threads floating around unanswered
I don't know if it's the first rule of website design, but people forget their passwords all the time. If you really want people to use your services, Microsoft, you should remove this ridiculous loop from your system.
The most commong problem in all these cases is the following:
A user signed up for Skype account "john.doe456" a few years ago using an email address [email protected]
Later the user linked their Microsoft account [email protected] to the Skype account
Now it's March 2015 and they try to reset their Skype account password and request a password reset using the [email protected] email.
Users will always be forwarded to the Microsoft account password recovery. To reset the Skype account password you need to request the password recovery to the [email protected] registered email address of the Skype account. Many users have forgotten what their Skype account registered email was because they haven't updated them for long. In this case you need to contact Skype CS and get your primary account email changed. The starting point for this process is to fill out the form for "I don't know my registered email address" here:

Help,kids going crazy

Hi,need help here.currently have fios with actiontec router m1424wr which is connected to desktop computer via ethernet cable and laptop via wireless. Everything was fine until I had to reinstall windows xp onto desktop computer last week. Since I reinstalled windows xp I cant connect to internet. The laptop still connects wirelessly so i know the router is ok. Im pretty sure I need to install software to desktop to allow computer to see router but the only disk I could find from when I got fios last year just looks like a manual for the router. I went into device manager and there is a yellow line through ethernet connection indicating a problem. Do i need to install something that im missing onto desktop to allow a connection. Help

You probably need to install the driver for the LAN (Ethernet) adapter. IT was probably already installed when you bought the PC, however the Windows XP DVD doesn't include all possible drivers.
Device manager is telling you it doesn't know what to do with the device, and that usually means you don't have a driver for it (or it is broken). Device manager should be able to tell you exactly kind of network adapter you have, and then it is a matter of going to the web site for the manufacturer and downloading the drivers for XP.
My guess is you will have to down load it to your laptop, and then get it to to desktop via USB drive/Floppy/or burn a CD with the driver information on it.
One you have the driver, if you go to 'add hardware' in Control Panel, it will walk you through installing the driver.
Once the driver is installed, most likely everything will work. There is no specific software other than the driver that you need to install. I.E. FiOS internet works just fine without ANY of the Verizon provided software. I don't have it on the PC I am writing this on.

Help me with crazy issues with Finder please- I am baffled!

I own a G5 1.8 with 2 externals and 100G of space on the harddrive running 10.3.9.
My problem is bizzare- Firstly the Finder would do all its normal stuff except when I tried to empty the contents of the trash the spinning beach ball came up and I had to force quit the finder this also happened when I tried to "apply to enclosed items" in the get info privlidges section.
Along with these problems When I use illustrator it won't allow me to close any file off unless I have saved it- the beachball doesn't come up but I click on the red close button on the top left corner of the document and you can just keep clicking on it and nothing happens- Illustrator also won't let you quit out of it either unless you save any unsaved files- I have tried all shortcuts aswell but no result.
So after all this happening I repaired permissions, defragged the computer with Tech tools and ran alll other tests which found minor errors and fixed them, rebooted from the tech tools sart up volume (edrive) and tested the main hard drive. I also reinstalled Illustrator. After all this Illustrator still responds the same, I have to empty the trash by pressing the option key down at the same time and the "apply to closed items " button doesn't work at all - bu there is no spinning ball though - just no response! Also in Illustrator when I go to print something I can't get a response out of the Page set up button or the Printer select button!-
Frankly i am sick of it i have spent 2 days trying things to no avail!!
Please Help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter:
What version of Illustrator are you using and is the application located on your hard drive or on one of the externals?
Have you tried deleting Illustrator's preferences and letting them get rebuilt when you relaunch Illustrator? You should find the preferences in:
Hard Drive > Users > [Name of your user] > Library > Preferences

I think the classpath should come before the sourcefile, as in
javac -classpath ClassLib.jar simple.java

Help. Going crazy with subclass.

I am extending class Client with myClient. Why do I get a symbol not found in the myClient() constructor?
// File: Client.java
package testproj;
public class Client {
    public Client(String conn){
        String xyz=conn;
// File: myClient.java
package testproj;
public class myClient extends Client {
// Gives error on the myClient Constructor as follows:
// C:\App\testproj\src\testproj\myClient.java:5: cannot find symbol
// symbol : constructor Client() location: class testproj.Client
    public myClient(String conn){
        int x=1;
}

Typically when you extend a class it is because you do want to initialize, and probably use, what is in that class. This rings doubly true when you created the parent class specifically for extending it in this project.
For example, why on earth would you override foo with the exact same method? I realize both are empty and you probably intend there to be different code in each, but as it currently stands, there is no reason to override foo, the foo in MyClient is just simply not needed.
But in my opinion your real problem here is you haven't figured out what constructors and methods are for. Constructors are for initializing a class, methods are for java code. Your example falls into some wierd gray area the myVar=xyz definitely fits and belongs in the constructor, but adding the additional text should probably be handled by a method since it appears that getting the different strings presumably for output is the crux of what you are trying to do.
The reason you don't want to initialize is because you think " take care" will somehow get added in if you run it the way you have it, which is exactly why this sort of stuff should not be in constructors. But rest assured, for as you have it, the string will not contain "Loser take care" because as soon as you set it to that you turn around and reset it to "Loser terminate his a**". Any other concerns you have about initialization the parent are equally unfounded in the code you provided.
Plus you don't seem to be aware that there can be more than one constructor. If you just added the following to class Client just above your current constructor;
public Client(){
} then you can remove the (xyz) in your super call and not have to worry about anything.
