Intermittent Trackpad response

Has anyone experienced problems with the trackpad failing to respond for several seconds after a save, edit or window change? I can't quite characterize it yet as a function of any particular s/w or function but it is really driving me crazy. You never know when it will stop responding for maybe 10 sec's then return.

Hi All
Even with today's "Apple Keyboard Update 1.0", they didn't update the Trackpad driver, which is a huge problem for me.
Under XP, using BootCamp, I have no problem at all, of any kind, with the trackpad.
Under Mac OS X, 10.4.6, with every available update, and with today's update, the driver com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTrackpad is still at Version 1.4.1a1.
Alpha 1? Are you kidding me?
The symptoms of the issue are just like at MacInTouch.com, viz:
Every few minutes, the trackpad goes nuts. This lasts about a few minutes.
What happens is that only a 1cm wide vertical strip, 3/4s of the way to the right of the trackpad, works. The rest of the trackpad does nothing. At all.
When you get your finger inside this 1cm strip, the trackpad works, but as if it's on super-hyper-sensitivity mode: resting your finger on it results in an oscillating, twitching, mouse cursor. Move up/down, still ultra jittery. Move left and right (which is very hard, remember: this is a 1cm strip!) and it's ultra jitter mode.
Then it all goes good, all of a sudden.
I've tried every combo of settings in the trackpad panel, to no avail.
So I bought the top of the line, every single option, retail price (!!) laptop, to have a trackpad that is worse than a $2 mouse I can get at the 7-Eleven.
Bah!

Intermittant trackpad failure

This is getting a tad bit annoying. I thought that the fixes issued by apple, in regards to the software controller for the trackpad, would fix the intermittant failures, but they haven't. I went to the apple store with an appointment for them to take a look at it... but the tech knew less about apples that I do. The only way he said they can fix it is if I'm willing to be without my computer for 2 weeks. As frustrating as this is, being without the computer for 2 weeks is far worse. Any suggestions?
I know [from previous powerbooks I've owned] that the trackpad is less responsive when the computer is running nice and toasty, but this is not occuring only when the computer is too warm. It occurs more often when there is a period of inactivity, but is not limited to that. It will continue to be unresponsive unless I reset the trackpad by putting my hand across the entire pad.
Is this a hardware failure? Anyone have a workaround that will avoid me having to deal with apple support again?
PS: reason for not wanting to send the computer in, is past failures with repairs when the powerbook is sent in. I had to send in a previous model for repairs 5 times before they simply offered me a new computer [which is not this computer that is having the problem]. This process took over 2 months to complete.

I posted in a related topic about my wife's
PowerBook's trackpad issues. We were experiencing
extremely frustrating cursor freezes since 10.4.3.
I just upgraded her machine to 10.4.5 and have been
problem free for the past hour. We'll see how it
goes over the next few days...
Anyone else have a similar experience with the recent
upgrade?
Nevermind... It's back, and in some cases worse than ever.
We had a rather embarassing situation occur at a coffee shop this morning. Someone noticed the PowerBook and was asking questions about Apple, Mac OSX, etc.
We were trying to show off some of the iLife features and the trackpad was extra-wacky... needless to say he was probably thinking "Nice computer, too bad you can't use it when you want to."
Ugh.

Problem with Socket Client - Intermittent Truncated Response in AIX

{color:#0000ff}Hi guru
I have written on Socket Client method below to send request byte[] to Host and receive response byte[] from Host.
For this particular response, I'm expecting Host to return me byte[] with length 2274.
My problem is intermittently I received truncated message byte[] from Host with length only 1392. Sometimes I received full 2274 message, sometimes I received 1392 length. I tested in continual of 10 times by sending the same request to host, intermittently received truncated response message.
My real problem is that this only happened in {color:#ff0000}AIX {color}machine. With the same class, I tested on {color:#ff0000}Windows {color}platform and i received full response message byte[] with 2274 lenght always. Therefore, im counting out the possibilities that Host might send me truncated message.
Can anyone pls help to tell me how should I proceed to troubleshoot this problem in AIX? Is possible for me to trace what coming in?
{color}

I tried to use DataInputStream.readFully(byte[]). However, I could not retrieve a single byte from Host. It won't return until it fills the buffer, or EOS occurs. Isn't that what you wanted?
You need to believe it here. Either the sending application or Java or the sending TCP stack or the intervening routers or the receiving TCP stack or Java or the receiver can break up the transmission into 1 byte reads and there is nothing you can do about it at the receiver except what I said. BufferedInputStream will mask the effect to some extent but you still have to code under that assumption. You don't have any choice about this.

Intermittent non responsive iphone

Trackpad response it excessively slow

Suddenly, over night, it takes close to fifteen minutes for my G4 to boot. Then, whenever I click anything--browser, application, whatever--I get what I call the daisy wheel, that multicolored little whirly gig. It stays there forever, it seems, but when the application comes up, I can do nothing with it. I use Opera. It will not respond. I go to desktop. Nothing responds. I can't even get into preferences or my to see if I can figure out what is wronge. I cannot get email because when I click on, it does not respond. I get the daisy wheel anytime I click. In short, my G4 is inoperative.
Anyone out there have a suggestion? I'm totally confused.

Hi, asodesume -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
You might get a better hardware-specific response if you repost your issue in the appropriate PowerBook forum; you can access those here -
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=120
The top area of that page includes links to the various PowerBook forums, grouped by model series. Pick the most appropriate and once you enter that forum you can post a new topic.
One thing to try in the meantime, to help determine whether the cause may be hardware or software based - boot the machine to an OS Install disk, either OS 9 (if applicable) or OSX. If the trackpad/pointer behaves as it should, that would indicate the fault is software-based; if the trackpad/pointer continues to misbehave, then it would indicate the fault lies with the hardware.

Trackpad response is failing .. why?

Hello everybody.
I'm sure this problem has come up and again but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution after looking around for 3 days.
My trackpad's response rate has turned terrible. I don't know what happened but I feel like it was because of an update.
I move my finger on the track pad and the mouse on the screen either goes too fast, or too slow, or stutters across the screen. Sometimes my multi-finger functions don't work. This is annoying. Help please!!

I've gotten this exact problem in the last week or two. Sometimes the trackpad is fine, other times it's like treacle, or staccato jumps across the screen. Sometimes I'll have one finger on the trackpad and the window I'm in will respond like I'm two-finger scrolling.
The oddest thing is how inconsistent it is. If it was a hardware problem, I'd expect it to just fail hard, but it works fine sometimes.
I can't remember what the last update I did was, could have been quite recently I've just been mad busy lately. Sorry, I have no solutions; I'm going to have to start using a mouse

Ipad2 touch screen intermittant non-response especially with photo album

New iPad2 received May 1. Very happy with use. However ..............
I have found that the touch screen is sometimes unresponsive - particularly when using albums in the photo app.
Taps on an album no response, similarly taps on individual photos no response.
Other times seems to work no problem.
Also have similar problems in notes, app store 'search', and other apps - tap on a line or item, no response. Try some other item and then return to earlier situation and then works OK.
Any ideas why intermittant problems?
(I have OS 4.3.3 - menu list below only goes to 4.3.2?)

3. Use Media Monkey to remove the embedded artwork in the individual tracks *directly off the iPod* -- not iTunes.
I've posted elsewhere that artwork seems to take up about 0.5% of the average music file. Removing all artwork on a 160Gb iPod (or 148Gb when 1Gb = 2^9) would save about 0.75Gb - hardly worth all the effort I'd have thought.
4. Non-square artwork gets resized/cropped as viewed on the iPod.
While the artwork is resized to fill the display area as far as I can tell it isn't cropped and will retain the original aspect ratio. Generally images that are wider than they are tall break up the smooth line of albums in cover flow and are quite easy to spot.

Poor trackpad response

Over the past week or two my trackpad has become almost completely non-responsive. To scroll through a list I have to constantly swipe across it and then it will scroll one or two items at a time, if at all. I've played with the sensitivity settings but that has little if any effect. I saw another post that indicated a piece of tissue between your finger and the trackpad will "fix" it. It does, and if I have a bandaid on (for what it's worth a cloth one not a plastic one) the trackpad performs beautifully. Excellent response and very precise control. Obviously neither is an acceptable solution.
I don't know if this is related or not, but at the same time, the BlackBerry button (to the left of the trackpad) has been troublesome as well. I have to click it several times to get the menu to pop up.
Any suggestions? Is this just a wear and tear issue and I need to get a new phone?

If that's the case, you should return the phone to your carrier for a replacement. This is assuming that it's newer than one year old. If you choose to do so, make sure you do a data backup with BlackBerry Desktop Software first. If it's older than one year, wearing cloth bandages might be the answer.
Please keep us posted.

Intermittent trackpad tapping problem

Macbook Air 2.16; 10.6.4
Often my Air trackpad doesn't respond to single and double tapping. At first I thought it was less sensitive to tapping when you tapped nearer to its edge, but that doesn't seem to be true. Sometimes I have to tap 4,5,6 times before it works. Any ideas as to cause and/or cure?

I would reset the SMC and PRAM to see if it solve the issue. Worst come to worst, reintalling the OS can also help. But before you do something that drastic, open a test account on your computer and see if the issue appears in the other account. If it does, then it's likely a hardware issue and a visit to the Apple Store would be a good idea. If the issue can't be replicated in the test account then it's mostly software and a reinstall of the OS would do the trick if you can't find the cause of the issue. Backup everything of course.

Intermittent Trackpad on 15" MBP (after 10.6.4 update?)

This is either a hardware fault on my machine -- a June 2009 15" MBP -- or something connected to the 10.6.4 update (or the magic trackpad update that brought inertial scrolling to the last few MB/MBP refreshes).
Short version: when tapping to click -- like on a bookmark in the bookmarks bar in Firefox or Safari -- something strange happens. The tap is recognized, but the link isn't actually "clicked". The background of the link changes to a darker shade like it does when you click on it, and it stays that way as long as the cursor is hovering over it, but the browser doesn't actually go to that URL.
The bookmarks bit is just an example; the same click-but-not-click happens on links and buttons from time to time. Kind of a pain in the ***.
I don't remember this happening before 10.6.4, but I could be mistaken. I notice it more often with tap-to-click (possibly sampling bias... I tap to click more often than I physically click anyway).
Not using any third-party trackpad utilities.
Anyone else notice such a thing?

Well, so far things seem better, although I'm not sure if the word 'fixed' can be used just yet. I've been using my macbook pro i5 (2010) for about 10 hours and had no problems with the trackpad since the 10.6.5 update until just a few minutes ago when the cursor jumped and right-clicked all by itself as it would do since that unfortunate trackpad update which was causing so many problems. I've just now turned off the one-finger dragging to see that will help, but have kept the one-finger tap and right click. I'll see if things settle down or go back to trackpad craziness again . . .

Intermittent High Response for Wireless Users

Dear all
I am facing one strange issue while using below WLC and AP.
WLC 5508, OS= 7.4.100.0
AP 3602i
Some times, ping response becomes very high around 500-1000 ms even to next hop for some laptops. During that time every thing slows down. Please note that Signal to noise ratio remains around 60 db and there are maximum 2-5 users per AP. I am doing more troubleshooting, I noticed that once I disconnected from SSID and reconnected every thing returns to normal. Kindly inform in which direction I should do troubleshooting. Has anyone faced similar issue with above mentioned hardware and software.
Regards

Thanks all. Many Thanks for your time. Some commands I am unable to post here as it includes some confidential info, pasting below what ever i can and also see attached.
I have checked all SSIDs at that time, found issues with all. RSSI was -53 and SNR was 43. The issue starts when I start browsing, but not all time. Many times there is no issue even with browsing.

MDD G4 Dual 1.25GHz-2MB L3 - Intermittent No Response To Startup Button

Over the past week my MDD G4 has suddenly started having an intermittent problem starting up. Sometimes when I press the startup button, absolutely nothing happens. I've tried pressing it again and again with different levels of pressure and pressure at different points on the button, to no avail. On a hunch, I tried pulling the power plug, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging the power back in and hitting the start button again. That work-around has worked each time I've tried it, but obviously that's no way to run a Mac on a daily basis.
I've run Disk Utility, DiskWarrior, and TechTool Deluxe and found nothing wrong. Any ideas as to what has suddenly taken to plaguing my MDD G4? BTW, hardware hasn't been modified in over a year and the only new software are Apple's updates.

Hi, well.... this may sound nuts at first.. or perhaps then you are aware of it.. but this happened to me a long time ago, and I have not had the problem again.. sometimes pressing very hard on the middle of that dime sized button, over and over ... why....
Try this at a fresh startup..
Think of that little round button as the face of a clock or a "clock dial/face"... OK?
Now, where about 8 or 9 o'clock, at the very edge, there is a "hot-spot".
I'm not really sure what kind of crazy mechanism is in there, but it is some type of smart button, beyond the just "on or off" of it. All one needs, is pressing that ONE spot like a pencil point of pressure, right in the right spot and it will startup and work.. just try it.. it worked for me....
It's like the button face is a see-saw object <left-right> just lean on the Left side..
Hopes this helps

Keyboard nor trackpad response

Hey,
I purchased my aluminum MacBook in February and from them I'VE been having issues with both my track pad and keyboard. Every once in a while I will get no response from my keyboard, for about a minute or two (no matter what key is pressed, nothing will show on the screen as being pressed). As well i will get no response from the track pad for a few minutes every now and then.
What should I do?

sorry put in wrong topic

Intermittent Slow Response time on DFS 2012 and AD 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
We recently migrated our AD infra from 2003 to 2008 R2 SP1. In the same line we also migrated our file server (10 days ago) from 2003 to 2012. We implement DFS namespace (Domain based) on the File Server and modify our logon script and home folder to access
the shares via \\domain.local\dfs.
We have folder redirection configured for my documents onto the DFS. We had this issue 2 times since implementation where all the shares become inaccessible although the file server is up and running. If we try to browse \\domain.local\dfs, it takes approximately
1 or 2 minutes to open or it timeout. When we open the DFS Management console, it takes a long time to display the shared folders in the console.
We restarted the file (DFS) Server, everything continue to work correctly but we had the same issue after 6 days.
Our DFL is 2008 R2 and FFL 2003. AD replication works correctly and we have only one namespace server configured in consistency mode.
Any idea what may be causing this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
Whether the old server is removed? When the issue occurs, please try dfsutil /pktinfo to see if it is correctly connected to the \\newserver\share.
Also when the issue occurs, please see if there is any issue in accessing \\newserver\share directly instead of the DFS namespace.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
