HT203171 TRACK PAD IS NOT RESPONDING

my trackpad does not respond to my fingers

Open the TP or bluetooth system preferences.  Is the TP paired, i.e., connected to bluetooth?  If not try to re-pair it.
Also might try doing a smc and pram reset.

    Press and hold the power button until the machine turns off. Then restart.

  • MacBook Pro Retina - Track Pad problem - not responding

    the main click portion of the track pad hardly clicks when using it, and sometimes is not responsive. The right click portion of the track pad is fine. 

    There are no hard wired zones on the trackpad for right and left clicks, although you can set it up to do this in System Preferences have you done that? In any case, the trackpad is engineered so that the outer portion is less clickable than the inner portion. If you really feel something is wrong, go to the Genius Bar.

  • My i pad is not responding. I have a security copy in my iTunes. But my iTunes is not updated

    My i pad is not responding. I have a security copy in my iTunes. But my iTunes is not updated. Will i lose my Security copy?

    I have an iPad 1 as well that I updated when the iOS was first released a few weeks ago and I think that the new update really sparked my iPad into "new life" again. It's so hard to tell what will happen when you update - ideally the performance of the device should improve - and not fall off.
    Have you tried closing any/all open/running apps in the recents tray? Close them all and restart - see what happens.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • 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.

  • HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

    My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

    Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
    If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
    Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.

  • HT3211 My tracking pad is not working. It controls itself and does not follow my finger commands. If I bring it to an apple store, would I be able to have a new pad installed?

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out
    and repaired, if needed.
    Best.

  • I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year?

    I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year. I heard that the 2011's had track pad trouble.

    All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
    iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

  • Keyboard and Touch pad is not responding

    I have one Lenovo G450 with Windoxs 7 which was working fine. But suddenly I am having some strange behavior.
    Like, when I am starting my laptop then its keypad or touch pad is not responding. After couple of shut down/restart (can't figure out how many times, actually its not constant) the keypad or touch pad is responding and working fine. Again when I shut down and try to start sometime later then having the same problem.
    Please help.

    Hi
    Welcome to Lenovo Community
    Please check the following options .
    Try entering the Bios using F2 Button , If you are able to enter Bios
    Load Setup defaults .
    Then try to Load system to safe mode by pressing F8 key & check if you are able to use the Keyboard and Mouse
    If it is working fine then try to uninstall the devices from device manager . Restart the system and boot to normal mode
    and verify the keyboard & touchpad is responding .
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!

  • My onscreen remote for sling player on my I-Pad does not respond correctly. Any ideas?

    My onscreen remote for sling player on my I-Pad does not respond correctly. Any ideas?

    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, make an appointment at the genius bar and show them the problem and maybe ask them to run a hardware test. Since you just reinstalled the OS, that should rule out a software issue.
    It can be hard to troubleshoot over the phone. It may be easier to find the problem if someone can look at your Mac in person and see what it is doing.
    Good luck!

  • I was prompted to change batteries.  I did and now my track pad is not working

    I was prompted to change batteries on my track pad.  I did and now the track pad is not working.

    Did you replace your battery with one of as good quality as that you are disposing of.   Does the indicaror light show when you start up.

  • My track pad will not wake up

    My track pad will not wake up unless I restart the computer. How can I fix this?

    I searched more using the tags I found making this post.  I see it is a prevelant issue with Lion and Trackpad, maybe even Bluetooth with Lion.  Sure hope Apple un-PCs this one...
