Issues with my trackpad randomly quitting for a small period of time on my MacBook5, 2

My track pad will periodically stop working or barely respond. Took it in for service and they said the battery can overheat causing the trackpad to warp or not respond. They replaced the battery but I almost immediately started having the same issue again. Is what they said true and is there any other solution to the problem?

Just to add:
My MacBook Pro is from around late 2009.
I've had issues with the trackpad before (it was completely unresponsive) however that was just an issue with the trackpad not registering touch at all, in this case I believe it could be something worse as it can register touch but it just won't work properly.
I've also tried connecting up a Bamboo tablet, it had the exact same issue as the pad and the mouse (work for a short time then stops, cursor is still moveable)

  • Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows

    Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows (at work):
    Lenovo T60 with intel core duo T7200 @2.00Ghz plus additional monitor (Lenovo ThinkVision) in extended desktop mode running Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2
    1. Taskbar is configured to autohide: when Safari is the top (active) window, it remains on top. If the taskbar pops up, it does so behind the Safari window, because I cannot see it.
    2. If an open Safari window is dragged to the external (secondary) monitor, then maximized, it disappears to the side. It is not closed. I can still find it via Alt-tab or in the task bar and can, by right-clicking ‘Move’ from the taskbar use the arrow keys to move the window back into place. Clicking to reduce the window, then re-maximizing leads to the window disappearing to the side again.
    3. In general my impression is that this does not function at a ‘beta’ level, but more of an ‘alpha’ level. Still very buggy.

    This is a beta...thats why they give you the option to report probs via the bug icon. Since you are having these probs try and report them, I am not sure if apple has the time to scan these forums to try and find the big probs that people are having. So unless you report bugs, (and wait until the final realease) then they might never get noticed and or fixed.

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

  • Issue with transferring calls to VM for the correct DN Unity Connection 9.1.2

    Hi all
    I have been facing an issue with a Unity Connection Server v9.1.2. Every time an internal extension (assigned to VM profile and to Unity as a user) which is configured to be transferred to VM after 20 sec or so NoAN,is called , Unity treats the call as the extension of the calling party and not the called party. Furthermore , I dont know if this has any relation with the problem I am facing but when I check the voicemail port status in RTMT its seems like that regardless it is a direct call to the Unity from an extension (dial the pilot number or press the messages button on the IP phone) or a redirected call from an extension to Unity due to NoAN configuration, the Reason is Direct and the caller party number is always the extension initiated the call and not the one redirected to the Unity (second case).
    I have changed the Use Last (Rather than First) Redirecting Number for Routing Incoming Call  Unity parameter in the
    System Settings > Advanced >Conversations -> checked   and
    Redirecting Diversion Header Delivery - Outbound CUCM parameter ->checked
    in the SIP Trunk configuration used for the integraton of the CUCM with Unity but none of those seem to address this issue. Is there any guidelines you can give me to overcome this issue?
    The servers I am using are
    CUCM v9.1.2 BE
    CUC    v9.1.2 BE
    Thank You in Advance

    Hello again,
    The Voice Mail Box Mask was blank before. However I tried XXXX (I use 4-digit extension for the VM pilot) but this did not seem to fix anything to the system....Same situation as before. Any more suggestions?
    Thank you

  • I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button)

    I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

    I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing.  First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update.  If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.  If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

  • I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

    Lets start over...
    Please restart the network.. shut down everything..
    Restart in order.. modem.. router.. if different to TC.. or TC.. client devices.. wait 2min between each startup.
    If the TC does not show up on the computer, in finder.. then we need more info.. what OS are you running?
    Does the TC show up in Airport utility? Are you running wireless or ethernet?
    If you still have issues.. plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. and see if it now shows up.
    Please tell us exactly what model TC it is and how old.. the A1xxx model number from the base will help if you don't know.
    You take a screen shot of the TC opened in finder.
    eg..
    My TC is named Tardis4.. click on it.. and then open the data folder.. on this one called Tardisdata.
    Then take a screen shot of it so we can see what the problem is.. screenshot.. with area selection.. control + shift + 4 .. the picture goes into the desktop.. and then you click the picture icon in the posting web page controls and select the picture.

    hi friend,
    Why don't you try using a TIMER. Try using this code
    Timer timer = new Timer((TIMER), new ActionListener()
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    // perform your task here...
    timer.setInitialDelay(TIMER);
    timer.setRepeats(true);
    timer.start();
    I think this will work fine.
    Bye,
    Ravi.

  • Entire system crashes when fire fox is run for a short period of time

    So I've been building a new PC over the last 3 months and today it's finally complete. When I run Firefox for a short period of time (shortest so far is 10 seconds, longest is roughly 30 minutes) my entire system will just freeze up. Display stays on but nothing I do will update the display and I will need to forcefully shut down the entire PC.
    I would rather not switch to a different browser.
    I'm certain this only happens with Firefox because it does not happen with IE, and I've been using Chrome for the last 10 mins without an issue. It does not seem to crash is safe mode.
    Not sure if I was getting unlucky but I was using the British version of fire fox and it would seem to crash more constantly then the American one.
    *EDIT*
    I just got the same crash with chrome. But it took a lot longer to happen compared to Firefox. I'm really confused as to what's happening now, I'm going to close my browsers all together now and try doing something else for a few hours, I don't think it's because my system is getting over powered because my stuff is very high end.
    I will post my system specs, then leave and come back in a few hours, to check for replies. Sorry if I take a while to get back to you.
    If you need additional information just ask.

    Processor-i7 3930k
    Mobo-asus p9x79 extreme
    Graphics card-amd 7970

    I think that's the necessary specs.
    I'll see you all in a while.

  • Automatically log back in for a given period of time

    I just started to work on web and have the following issue:
    We want some (mobile) users to be able to automatically log back in for a given period of time. It is not difficult to set cookie (valid user information without clear text) on the mobile device. For now the question is how we can log in using this cookie info.
    Web application uses "j_security_check", "j_security_check" checks the user/password.
    Question is how we can autologin using cookie information. Thanks guys!

    it is not problem to check cookie on exists and valid. Problem is 'where' where can I do it using 'j_security_check'

  • How can I record multiple signals for a long period of time?

    Hi, everyone
    I am new at labView I just recentlyl started using it. Right now I am working on this assignment
    that I have to display en record six different signals comming up from a DAQ. so basically What I did
    for my IV is placing a whileloop. Inside the while loop I set up the DAQ assistant and then I send that
    to a split signal function in order to split the signas that are comming from the DAQ ( so those signals
    are EMG1,EMG2, blood flow1, blood flow2, blood pressure, and AM stimulation) after I split the signals
    I send each individual signals to a waveforme graph, but my problem is that I need to record those individual
    signals for a long period of time every second for about 8 hours. so it will be really helpfull if someone can
    guide me through this. Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    With your while loop, you'd better use low-level VIs to write your data to a file. Please see attached...I've used text file function but if you need ta save a large amount of data, you may need to use binary file functions instead (nearly the same way to perform this whatever you chose text file or binary file function).
    Best,
    J.

  • How can I set up my iPad to Remember my password in App Store for a determined period of time.. Ex: 2 minutes, for updates and purchasing?

    Whenever I make purchases on my iPad in the App Store, it asks me for my Apple ID password. I'm fine with this when its a one off purchase, but when I have to make multiple purchases continuously it can be really annoying.
    How wow can I get the App Store to remember my password for a short period of time (2-3 minutes) so I don't have to type it in with every purchase? I know it can be done as the other iPad in the house is set up this way, I just can seem to find how or where to change these settings...

    There is Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password which you can set to '15 minutes' - the only other option for the setting is 'Immediately', you won't be able to have it as 2 or 3 minutes.
