IMac Trackpad quits working; comes back with bluetooth preferences in focus

OS X 10.9.2, 2010 iMac 27", 2.93 GHz, 16 GB Ram.
I've used a wireless trackpad for a couple of years. Recently, it randomly quits working, even with fresh batteries. It ALWAYS comes back immediately when I bring up Bluetooth preferences to focus. (no changes, just bring it to surface) It then works for a while or days randomly, quits again and comes back when I bring back preferences.

Does anyone have any comment or ideas as to why this is happening? I should have written this as a question I guess.

- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

My iMac will boot, but loses contact with BlueTooth

My iMac will boot, but loses contact with Bluetooth after logging in, and then there is no way to interact with the system. I can only shut it down. Any help in resolving this issue will really be appreciated.
Thanks -

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Webi base on BW query based on Infoset comes back with wrong values

Hello:
I have a Webi report on an OLAP Universe, on Bex Query.
The bex query is based on 1 INFOSET.
When I run the webi report the values that comes back a totally wrong values.
The correct results are not brought back.
When I do a test with crystal reports to the infoset, I can see the correct values. (I'm aware crystal uses different drivers).
The test is BW query designer, and crystal brings back proper values from Infoset based BW query.
Webi on Infoset based BW Query comes back with wrong data.
query is simple.
Pull in 3 attributes, 3 key figures, where componentkey = "111"
I get 36 rows in Crystal and 36 rows in Bex Analyzer, 36 rows in BW query designer (web analyzer).
I get many rows in webi (almost like a CARTENSIAN product).
I search a round this forum but still did not see a conclusive answer to this problem.
But I see another thread that several others faced this same issue without a resolution.
My environment.
BOE XI 3.1 SP2
No fix packs
SAP IK 3.1 SP2
HPUX-IA64
Thanks in advance for any help.

Was this problem ever solved?
I am having a similar problem with an infoset based query.
I have created the BW infoset, and confirmed that the correct data is returned from the underlying infoproviders. A simple BW query on that infoset yields the same results.
Create the universe, and then the WEBI, and WEBI now shows hundreds of records where I expect 10. Data is being returned in WEBI that definitely shouldn't be there. It's almost like the restrictions applied in the characteristic restriction area of my BW query are being ignored, even if I include them in the WEBI query.
Cheers,
Andrew

You can only use iMessage to reach other iDevices. Non-Apple devices require a regular SMS text message.

Trackpad quits working multiple times per hour, is it defective?

I have a mid-2012 13" MBP. My trackpad quits working multiple times per hour. When this happens I have to remove my hand from it and wait a few seconds, then I can use it again. It started a few months after I got the machine last year and has gotten progressively worse. Is this a bug in OS X or is this some kind of malfunction? I need to know if I need to take this to an Apple Store to be fixed under warranty.

Yes, your issue has been posted many many times here. Do a forum search and read the posts in the "More Like this" section as well as Apple's articles on the matter - Intel-based Apple Portables: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues and Portables and Magic Trackpad: Jumpy or erratic trackpad operation
Always, take full advantage of your warranty before you lose it. Call Apple Care and make sure you get a case number. You should also consider purchasing Apple Care Protection plan.

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
