How to get rid of tap to click delay in MacBook Pro

Does anybody have any suggestions for getting rid of this delay? When i tap, i have to wait likely .5 sec to open any folder or link.

On my MBP, most of the files and folders that I click on are retrieved almost instantaneously ex. iCal, Finder, text edit.  Some like iTunes and Aperture take several seconds.  The response time with the Internet is all over the map.  I am assuming that with the smaller applications and files you are experiencing this delay.
I scoured the Apple support files and found no information regarding your issue.  Perhaps you should look on the right hand side of this page where ii says 'More Like This'.  If you do not find the answer there and still see this as a problem, go to the Genius Bar at an Apple store.
Perhaps some more knowledgeable person will see this post and have a solution.
I'm sad to say I can't do any thing more for you.
Ciao.

  • How to get rid of shadowed border around screen on MacBook Pro?

    Just wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this shadowed border on the screen of my macbook pro. I think my young daughter made it appear when she was striking various keys at random on my computer when I was not there. The cursor does not work when its over the shadow (i.e. will not depress the red 'x' button to exit a window and I have to drag window out from under shadow to close it).
    It also appears in the middle of screen when airplay is turned on. (See screen shots below)
    I have been unable to find any other discussion on this issue.
    Above is screen normally and below is when airplay is turned on. Please help, thanks.

    Hi rose_hedley,
    I'm wondering if you have restarted your computer by now and if that helped.
    That border is from Exposé with Show Desktop enabled (F11).

    Need to temporarily clear the clutter? Press F11 and watch all your windows scamper away.
    Take care,

  • Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro

    Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

    Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

  • How to get rid of the 2-second delay between tra

    I have a creative muvo tx fm 52, how do you get rid of the 2-second delay between tracks?

    That's true, but THAT gap might not be 2 seconds; it's just barely noticeable on my Zen Micro (far less than a second, though I hear it may be longer with subscription tracks), though that might not be true for a MuVo. (My SanDisk flash player's gap was just barely longer than my Zen Micro's.)
    OTOH, if the music was ripped from CD-Rs, the 2-second gap might have been inserted by the burning software if it burned the disc "track-at-once". Though otherwise I'm a fan of WMP 0, it's very bad for burning because there's no way to avoid the 2-second gap, and few if any burning programs that do will burn DRM'ed WMA files. If the files aren't WMA DRM, re-burn the CD with a better utility; if they are, edit out the gap with a good ripper like EAC, or after ripping with audio editing software. But recognize that it won't be 00% gapless on any Creative player, and if you want truly gapless playback on your PC, you'll have to rip to WMA, not MP3. (MP3 gaps can be made inaudible, but they can't be eliminated.)
    That's one of the reasons why if I purchase an album as a download, it will probably be from iTunes--even though I don't own an iPod and don't want one. Its burning and cover-printing utilities are far easier to use than most WMA utilities, and the "burn-and-rip" method means no WMA DRM problems. (I know some audiophiles won't like it, but it works just fine for my ears.)

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

    Turn off Time Machine, But, there is no need for you to delete them. In fact, they could come in handy...they're local snapshots, & Time Machine will manage them for you. Read here:

  • How can get my HP C550 to scan to my macbook pro?

    I am no longer able to scan from macbook pro to HP C550 (I've done it successfully in the past but can't any more)
    I can get an "overview" scan of my document; however, the "scan" button is grayed out & I can't click on it. 
    I've tried restarting but no luck.
    I got an "Image Capture Core error 9930" during one attempt.
    THANKS!

    Hello Bruinfan28,
    Thanks for the post. With this one, check this:
    To repair disk permissions: Open Finder. Select Apps. Search for Disk Utility. Open Disk Utility. Select the drive the OS is installed on. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Try scanning now.
    If you are still having scanning issues, then: See if uninstalling and re-installing the printer's software and driver will correct the problem. Good Luck!

  • How to get address book from Mac desktop to a MacBook Pro

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Lion.  I have a IMac desktop and want to put my address book from it to the MacBook Pro and don't know how to do it.  Can someone help me with this?  I also need to move my word documents. I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2004, Version 11.6.3 on the desktop. Is it possible to move over also? 

    Office 2004 wont work on Lion 10.7. You should upgrade. From your iMac:
    User/Library/Application Support. Copy the AddressBook folder to the desktop of your new MBP. On the MBP:
    From the Finder. Hold down the option key and click on Go from the menu and select Library. That'll open the User/Library folder. Open the Application Support folder and put your AddressBook folder there. Moving documents: Connect the two with firewire cables. The iMac should be shut down. Boot the iMac while holding down the 't' key. That'll boot it into target disk mode and you should see the iMac's hard drive on the MBP's desktop. Copy the files over.

  • How to get audio to tv from 4 year old macbook pro

    I have a 4 year old macbook pro, i am trying to view it on my samsung tv, i can get video thru the mini port adapter and hdmi cable, but i cant get audio?

    If you Macbook Pro is a 2009 model the mini display port does not carry audio. You must use a separate audio cable from your computer's audio out to your TV's audio in.

  • How to get rid of the annoying clicking sound of an iPod Touch Keyboard

    I just got an iPod Touch and I love it but I have a small problem with it. I'm really annoyed by the cliking sound the keyboard makes when you type. It's even more annoying that you can hear it without the headphones.
    Is there anyway I can lower down the volume of the clicking? I'd really like some help with this.

    As a note, this will remove all of the sounds effects on the iPod, not just the annoying clicking sound.

  • How to get 10.4 on my new 10.5 macBook Pro

    I need to install OSX 10.4 on my new MacBook Pro 2.44gHz which came with 10.5 (which I cannot use and really don't like much) and when I try to install 10.4 it won't allow it. It says can't install on this Mac. What can I do?? Maybe it's my older 10.4 install dvd.
    thnx
    Steve

    You need to use a Mac OS X 10.4 disk designed for that model of Mac if one exists; if not, you cannot run Mac OS X 10.4 on that machine. The retail package will not work.

  • How do I get rid of the "Or click New to create a new user"

    How do I get rid of the “Or click New to create a new user” on the centre pane of the portal screen when you go to "Users"?
    My client doesn't allow users to create new users so this needs to be removed, but I can't find where it's configured.

    Did you ever figure out how to do this. I have looked everywhere.. I see in the code it is just a seb-text element, but I cannot find the source file that contains this.
