Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad?

Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad on the MacBook Pro?

More info on this touchpad issue:
It appears the cursor keeps switching to the text mode on its own while moving the cursor in pointer mode about the screen. It now is extremely difficult to click anything, as it nearly always switches to text/capture mode. E.g., if I move the pointer/cursor rapidly, it with change to text mode and begin highlighting everything it passes over, making it nearly impossible to use. Also, I have an extremly difficult time relating the cursor when editing text.
The problem has gotten so bad that I had to rever to the mouse, which doesn't seem to have the problem. Ergo, it's a touchpad, software or hardware issue.

  • Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the one finger click on the trackpad?

    Is there a way ro reduce the sensitivity of the one-finger click on the tackpad?

    nope.
    it *****. i had to turn off "tap to click" if that ishat you are referring to. i couldn't write an email or any other document without the cursor inserting to wherever it felt like.
    another solution for me would have been to place my trackpad above my keyboard, as it was the slightest of brushes against the trackpad that was causing this annoyance.

    picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

    If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
    That should do what you are loking for.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

    I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
    Thanks for your help!

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving a file?

    Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving in any software (especially illustrator)? I don't want any quality to decrease at the same time. Thanks!

    Personally I would avoid optimizing the PDF's via Adobe Acrobat Pro unless you understand what you are removing from the PDF; having said that, it is the most effective way to reduce the file-size in the right hands.
    If I am sending out layouts for commercial print I change my default Print / Export setting from Standard to PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK). This will resolve a lot of common print problems for print-ready documents and it should embed your fonts and flatten transparencies etc.
    If your document is still too large you run an Audit Space Usage using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the left pane enable 'Content' and then hit the button in the top left corner of the Content Pane and choose Audit Space Usage.

  • Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

    Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

    Hi IndianLamp,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, you mean that you want t reduce the installation size of the version of VS Preview, am I right?
    If yes, I know that when we download the version of the VS Preview from the Microsoft Official, it is default that the install package size. However, you can try to unselect some components during the installation, it will reduce the installation size of
    preview edition.
    If I misunderstanding your issue, please tell me more detail message about your issue.

  • Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

    Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

    Hi yodonna,
    Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.

  • In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?

    In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?
    Is there a better and more efficient way to reduce anchors points than using the pen-minus tool?
    Thanks.

    That's what the Simplify command is for. It tries to reduce the number of segments while you judge the results and adjust the parameters accordingly.
    Of course, if any given curve were possible with just two anchors, then all paths could have just two anchors. So obviously, fewer segments is not always possible.
    As with many other things, though, you need to realize this: Automatic functions have no human discernment whatsoever. That's just as true in the matter of optimizing paths as it is in auto-tracing. The program routine which tries to figure out which anchors can go and which anchors must stay has absolutely no idea of what the path is actually a drawing of. Only you know that. So the bottom line remains the same: Optimizing paths correctly should be done with deliberate discernment, not just left up to dumb automated routines.
    Illustrators draw paths deliberately--one anchor at a time--for good reason.

  • Is there a way to prevent airplay from restarting the playback?

    Sometimes when I'm out I'll watch a video on my iPad, then when get back home, I decide to continue the video using airplay on my TV. Every time I do this, the playback restarts from 00:00, and not where I left off. Is there a way to prevent this and have the airplay continue from where I left off? The video I am usually watching is an iTunes U lecture.

    This can be done via specifying the "RestrictPreferenceCaching" parameter as described in the Anyconnect Admin Guide here:
    By design, AnyConnect does not cache sensitive information to disk. Enabling this parameter extends this policy to any type of user information stored in the AnyConnect preferences.
    •Credentials—The user name and second user name are not cached.
    •Thumbprints—The client and server certificate thumbprints are not cached.
    •CredentialsAndThumbprints—Certificate thumbprints and user names are not cached.
    •All—No automatic preferences are cached.
    •false—All preferences are written to disk (default—behavior consistent with AnyConnect 2.3 and earlier).

  • Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to?   My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

    Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to?  I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist.  I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question.  Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
