Installed new trackpad...not working correctly

Hi,
I just installed a new trackpad and it is not working correctly.  The tap to click is not working and it takes extra pressure to even move the tracking arrow.  Any ideas?

I have an Apple Magic Trackpad I purchased November 2013.  Since upgrading to 10.9 (Maverick) my trackpad will just stop.  My current workaround: turn my Magic Mouse back on (I set it aside in favor of the trackpad), and my trackpad comes back to life.  I turn off the mouse, and the trackpad continues ... for now.
Strange, and I have no other answers for you.

  • Trackpad not working correctly in Lion

    So been waiting anxiously to download and did so this morning.  I cannot get the gestures to work.  Is the software not working properly or am I not holding my tongue correctly while using the trackpad on my core 2 duo machine.

    Hi,
    After installing Lion on MacPro, I had no problems with trackpad, but than it suddenly stopped working. I realized that I have moved my trackpad to close to my MacBook pro and it got paired with it. Once I unpaired the trackpad with MacBook Pro, (in system preferences->Trackpad->Set Up Blootooth Preferences) and paired it with Mac Pro all was fine again. It might not apply to you, but it might help other people.

  • "Automatically install new apps"  not working

    I've got "Automatically install new apps" checked on  my ipod touch 4g, but it hardly ever does what it says. For example, I just downloaded three new apps to my computer and then did a Sync operation on ipod none of the new apps showed up. On the App List, they each showed the button as Install. When I pressed the Install button on the App List for each of the affected apps, they then installed on the next Sync.
    Just to keep me guessing, new apps WILL occasionally install correctly, but I've never figured out what magic circumstance triggered the proper behavior.
    Ideas?

    did you upgrade to 1.1.3 BEFORE you purchased the new apps? You must upgrade first b/c the apps are in the free upgrade.. all you are purchasing is an unlock type of file to open the new apps... what u need to do is probably reset your ipod to factory now, and then update it... then sync last.. that should get them working... you don't have to repurchase them again

  • Trackpad not working correctly.

    My mac seems to have been taken over. The trackpad is not working properly and is opening up everything on the desktop. I've connected a wireless mouse via bluetooth and it does the same thing. It's almost as if it's possessed. Please help!

    Hi,

  • MacBook Pro trackpad not working correctly

    The last few days my MacBook Pro track pad is not working properly. For instance the trackpad doesn't click (sometimes on left but not at all on the right side). The mouse clicks on things and drags them, basically is acting very annoying. I've press down on all the corners to make it work and can hear grit sounds under the  trackpad e.g. Crumbs, also tried going round all the pad with my nails but not making any difference. I haven't got AppleCare but I bought it January/February

    Hi rbarnes1121,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    From what I understand, your trackpad on you MacBook Pro can be erratic and perform commands that you are not meaning for it to perform. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article to help troubleshoot this situation.

  • Safari 8.0 Open in New Tab not working correctly

    Hard and Software:
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    OS X Yosemite 10.10 clean install, iCloud enabled, Safari 8.0
    Problem description:
    When I open any type of link in a new tab on Safari, the link shows up in the address bar for that tab, but is not executed, so the tab page remains blank with the address bar filled with the link. Only when I put the cursor at the end of the link in the address bar and hit return, it is actually opened.
    When I open several links in new tabs, this problem only occurs for the first tab, the subsequent tabs open normally.
    Troubleshooting Performed:
    I changed search engine, turned off suggestions, disabled javascript, cleared history and website data, changed tab settings and turned off extensions. And the problem remained through all these steps.

    The described problem goes further: also when I type in any address on the address bar and press return, nothing happens. The address is correctly shown in the address bar, but is does not load the page. When I reposition the cursor behind the address in the address bar, and hit enter, it loads.

  • Trackpad not working correctly when plugged into AC power

    When i am running on battery, the trackpad is great--when plugged in, it is very flakey, not smooth, sometimes freezing up...all in all pretty frustrating!
    I have reset the power management unit, but it did not help.
    Comments?
    thanks in advance,

    Hi Lemenos,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Do you have any "hacks" installed your iBook? Try going to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter (next to Settings For:) > Processor Performance > Try faster or reduced and see if one works better. What are you doing when this happens? Do you notice any patterns? You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #17228 on Portables: Jumpy or Erratic Trackpad Operation and Knowledge Base Document #58389 on Your PowerBook and iBook's trackpad doesn't respond. Is the wall socket grounded? How can you tell if its electrical or static? What does it feel like? Try touching something metal to ground yourself before touching (bed frame) and see if you still get a shock. You should not get an electric shock from the button, if you do stop touching it. Bring it to your local Apple Store/Reseller.

  • Printing cd labels in new version not working correctly

    Can't print CD Labels correctly in new version specifically when printing "text only-black and white"

    Apple is well aware of this issue , many people have the same issue with this crap for an update, they can't fix it, giving everyone lip service. Just don't buy anything till they fix it.

  • New button not working correctly

    Let me preface this with I am completely new at Sharepoint.
    I created a page that has 2 apps on it, fir a Documents app and then a Contacts app. I can Upload to Documents fine.  However, when I click New to create a folder, it gives me New as if I am in the Contacts app and prompts me for New Item.  When
    I try the app independent of the page, it works properly.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that when you add document library and contacts in the same page and click the new folder for document library, it promote for new item in the contacts.
    I tried to reproduce your issue like the steps below:
    1. I created a blank site page.
    2. I add the newly created document library and the contacts in the site page.
    3. I create new folder in the document library ribbon like the capture below, it promotes a dialogue for a folder name.
    4. This works as expected.
    I suggest you can try the steps like above to test if it works.
    If the issue still exists, I suggest you can upload some screen capture, it will be easier to find the reason of the issue.
    Thanks
    Best Regards

  • Auto Rotation not working correctly Radius p55w B5112

    It has not worked correctly since I bought it. I have recovered from image fresh again, and then went through and hit windows update and updated 134 updates. Auto rotate does not work in tablet or in presentation mode. The keyboard never shuts off and I can type in tablet mode. If I have this on my lap, the buttons are pressed. I have a lock on my screen rotation, it is greyed out and I cannot access it. Any other suggestions to fix this?? Everthing else works great!

    Model Name: P55W-B5112
    Part Number: PSVP3U-003003 Support site here If it is brand new and not working correctly then I suggest bringing it back and requesting a replacement or refund.  It should work perfectly brand new without having to fuss around. 

  • The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

    Hello,
    After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly.  I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I am having the same problem now.
    Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
    Now I have lost function in Spaces.
    Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
    Now just run everything in one Space.

  • I have loaded Lion on my MacBook and the new trackpad functions work only on one ordinary account or user and not on the admin account. The trackpad preferences are well set. What can I do?

    I have loaded Lion on my MacBook and the new trackpad functions work only on one ordinary account or user and not on the admin account. The trackpad preferences are well set. What can I do?

    iCloud should still help you reduce some hard drive space. Just select "optimize" in the icloud tab in Mac Photo App preferences.
    Granted, not the same as completely offloading your library to a back-up drive at your location.
    Good Luck!
