I can't work force touch trackpad to look up definitions

I just bought a new macbook 13.3 inch with the force touch trackpad. Whatever I do I can't make the lookup function work with the force touch - in safari or chrome - where it works for other functions such as renaming or previewing files. What am I doing wrong?

I have repeat restore the system many time and finally find out the force touch lookup will only working Safari and some apple program only. That mean Chrome, MS work and etc will not work. Hope apple will improve on this asap. The new feature is not convenience if only apple program will work with it.

  • Does the 2015 13" 256 gb macbook pro have the force touch trackpad?

    Does the 2015 13 inch macbook pro with the 256 gigabyte solid state drive have the new force touch trackpad from the new lineup of macbooks?

  • Where can i buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook pro with retina display

    recently the new force touch trackpad is out and I'm really excited about it and sometimes my multi-touch trackpad is a little glitchy so I'm wondering is there any place to buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook like multi-touch or force click trackpad replacement

    My guess is they wouldn't introduce new production line just for the 1 or two milimeter difference. They will probably just change their marketing material and websites to add Retina as compatible. Then again I'm not a manufacturer.
    In reality though, apart from hard-shell cases/sheilds that have to attach directly on the laptop, the cases and sleeves are already compatible.

  • Screen force touch doesn't work.

    I Purchased a  38mm  and 42mm watch for my girl friend and I.  Her's is the  38 mm size screen and her watches force touch doesent function at all.  We compared our watches right out of the box, so we know we are pressiing correctly.  The 42mm works, so we are able to compare Functionally.
       We used the reset function to 'reboot, hers and it didn't help.  Her watch face works correctly otherwise as far as we can test it with the force touch not working.
    Suggestions.? 

    I am having the same problem with 38 mm watch sport also. I can activate force touch, but I have to press the screen very very hard. At first, I thought it was normal. However, when I played with the 42 mm watch of my friend, I realized that this kind of behavior is not normal. The force touch on the 42 mm watch is sensitive and easy to active. I called Apple phone support, they instructed me to reset and repair the watch. These processes did not help fixing the problem. Apple support then told me to go to a local Apple store to see whether they can fix it there. If not, I will need to send the watch for repair.

  • I can't get multi-touch to work on macbook

    I have  Macbook and just upgraded to Lion. I can't get the multi-touch functions to work. Do they only work on MacBook Pros?

    What version of MacBook do you have?  Wikipedia has a great article listing all the different versions and their capabilities at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook. Unfortunately the tables don't indicate whether a particular model has a multi-touch trackpad, but the narrative describes when it was introduced: Late 2008 Aluminum, Late 2009 Plastic.

  • Can't get the desktop app to work - forced to sign out and it shuts down

    I was unable to install the most recent update for Adobe Story, so I uninstalled the app, went online and re-downloaded. Now, when I try to launch I get an error that user preferences weren't found, and it forces me to sign out, so I can't work offline.
    I've tried a system restore, but it did not fix the problem. At this point, I am unable to use Adobe Story on my computer, just online.
    Please help me fix this.

    I solved this myself by creating a second Adobe ID, sharing my project files with myself under the new ID.
    The app works with the new ID I created.

    Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
    You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
    You should let it dry for  a week or so, then try.

  • Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

    Hello,
    My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

    Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
    Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
    'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
    'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
    'option-o' --opens selected items
    'option-w' --closes an open window
    This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417).  Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
    Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
    So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

  • Zen Touch optional wired remote control to play FM radio how do I get it? or can it work without

    One of the reasons why i am thinking of buying a zen touch is becuase it has a FM radio built in. From the website it says you need an optional wired remote control to listen to the radio, where can i get one in the uk? or can it work without it's

    The Zen Touch doesn't have a radio built-in. You'd need this:

    The Zen Micro does have an FM tuner built-in.

  • Multi-touch trackpad is not working correctly anymore

    My multi-touch trackpad is not working - it stops working after the first 10 seconds.
    It is since today.
    After reboot it works for the first 10 seconds - then it is like it needs to have a few seconds for reaction.
    Any idea for the permanent blocking of the cursor?

    That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
    Thanks!

  • All of the sudden my keyboard is not working.  the trackpad is working, but i can't enter any letters/numbers?

    all of the sudden my keyboard is not working.  the trackpad is working, but i can't enter any letters/numbers?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likey a bad digitizer

  • How can I work without a keyboard on a touch based station in windows multipoint server?

    I am using Windows Multipoint Server 2012 Premium evaluation version. How can I work on a station, with integrated touch feature, without a keyboard?
    In the beginning itself the station is stuck at "Creating a multipoint server station. Press 'C'". Now, since I a want all interactions on this station to be touch based, I have not provided any keyboard to press 'C' there. How can I login and
    operate this station?
    Thanks in advance.

    No, an ipod can only sync with one computer at a time. You could buy the songs on both laptops using the same apple id, but you can only sync with one of the laptops.

  • Does the new magic trackpad comes with the Force Touch

    Hi
    I want buy a new magic trackpad and I wonder does it come with the new "Force Touch" that has been recently introduced to a new MacBook? 
    Thanks
    Save13

    According to the article, there is no stand-alone trackpad with that new feature available at this time:
    It makes some sense to imagine Apple will introduce support for Force Touch inside future versions of its $69 Magic Trackpad at some point. It is also likely Force Touch will be rolled out in future iOS devices.
    And, according to the store page, they are still selling the regular trackpad (no mention of a new one):
