MacBook Pro touchpad works for multiple-fingered tapping options but not single-fingered tapping

My MacBook Pro touchpad only works when I use the two-fingered,three-fingered and four-fingered tapping functions but it doesn't work when I try to use the single tap function. I have done PRAM resets but it still doesn't work. Help!!!

I tried the above suggestions but it still doesn't work.
The whole left-click functionality has disappeared - I can't tap to click, use a usb mouse or click normally , and I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the hardware. Any more suggestions?

Maybe I understood your problem. Get to Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts >Turn Change With Buttons to Off. And if your Side Switch is assigned to 'Mute', turn it back on, else, use the control center to turn off mute.

Win7 - Adobe Reader X - highlighting works for me as an admin, but not for other users.

What rights do I need to change to make this work for all users?

I do not know why you experience this; what exactly happens when a non-admin users attempts to highlight something?
You are talking about highlighting in the same document?

WMI filter working for some Windows 7 machines but not for others

I'm trying to use this WMI filter for our Windows 7 64bit machines:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Caption like "Microsoft Windows 7%") or (Version like "6.1%" and ProductType = "1" and OSArchitecture = "64 ビット") or (OSArchitecture like "64%" and ProductType =
"1")
The reason there are three clauses is that we have machines in United States, Japan, and France. The first clause works for the United States, the second clause works for Japan, and the third clause SHOULD work for France, but doesn't.
I've run the query manually on the French machine using WMITest.exe (http://www.paessler.com/tools/wmitester) and it works. However, when I run a gpresult /r it shows that the GPO is denied
due to the WMI filter.
Why is this happening for French computers only?

Why is this happening for French computers only?
just a thought - is it due to localisation of the OS (fr-FR), and maybe the WMITest.exe is not honouring that?
maybe, on a French OS, open CMD, run wmic os get osarchitecture ??
get somebody to give you a screengrab of that - just in case there's something funky going on.
(I don't work with multiple languages, so am not sure if localisation can cause your issue, but from your Japan example it looks like it might do so)

Apple 20" CD connects fine to MacBook Pro 2009 via DVI to Mini displayport (adapter) but not to Radeon 5770 (either MDP ports) on MacPro 2008?! Have Eizo CG223 on DVI to 5770. Any ideas?

Here's the setup:
Eizo Coloredge CG223 DVI to DVI on MacPro 5770 interface (ACD works fine on this too, naturally).
Apple Cinema Display 20" have the DVI connector. I have a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter on this, into one of the 5770's MDPs, neither of which seem to work.
Plug the same ACD via DVI (with DVI to MDP adpater) into my MacBook Pro 2009 MDP and it works fine as a second screen.
So what's up with the 5770 MDPs? I've seen online that the card should at least support two displays, either MDPs x2 or MDP and DVI. I've seen there may be an issue with three, not two.
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Y

Striped down to bare inputs - monitors and keyboard/mouse. Works! Dimerising must have interfered with it. Phew!

Why are my Macbook Pro and my iPad able to place calls, but not receive them?

I have a MacBook Pro late 2013 edition and last year's iPad Air as well as the iPhone 5s. I have all of my devices completely signed in to my iCloud account and all of the appropriate boxes checked. I can place calls using my iPad and my computer, but when my phone rings, it doesn't ring on either the iPad or my computer. Strangely enough, my iPad used to receive phone calls a month ago, before most of this all came into play, but as already stated, it now does not. All of my devices are updated to the latest software and I can seamlessly utilize all other handoff features between all three devices.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Sharepoint Foundation - search working for some users (or computers), but not others

Hi all,
We have doozy of a search problem with SharePoint Foundation 2010 that I'm hoping someone can help with.
We have an application that is listening on port 14197 and search is working just fine, but only for one or two users.
If I do a search while logged in using the account we set the application up with then the search works fine and it returns records as expected.
If I use a different account - one that has full control over the app, then the exact same search fails with the following message:
We did not find any results for 06BSL.
Suggestions:
Ensure words are spelled correctly.
Try using synonyms or related searches.
Try broadening your search by searching from a different site.
Additional resources:
Get additional search tips by visiting Search Help
If you cannot find a page that you know exists, contact your administrator.
We've done everything we can think of, including several procedures to create new search accounts, replace databases, etc.
Nothing has helped and all of the info we can find online is in relation to getting search working when it doesn't work at all. In our case it is working, but only for some users. We thought it might have been a permissions issue, but not matter
what permissions we seem to give to test accounts they still don't work. We've set up a test account, for example, that is a member of the 'application owners' group, but cannot produce any search results with it.
The SharePoint Foundation server is running on Windows 2008 Server Foundation, with a separate SBS 2003 DC.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Alex, thanks for your response and apologies about the late reply - didn't realise someone had responded until now!
Agreed that this looks like a permissions issue, but we're stumped as to what it could be. The 'test' account displays this problem - if we try and search on 06BSL
we get no results, but it does appear that this account has full control over this document (see below).
Note that the 'Manage Permissions' page presents a comment 'This list item inherits permissions from its parent. (Customer QA & Product Management)' which is what we're
expecting.
The indexing schedule is set to 5 minutes.
Appreciate your help with this, as we've spent a huge amount of time on this problem but don't seem to be any closer to a resolution.
Cheers,
Damian

Crystal add on works for admin user on server but not regular user

Hi
The crystal add on has been installed and working for months. Another colleague was working with it, not sure what happened but it stopped working. I was able to re-register and get it working on a user's workstation using fat client. It is installed on the server. Some users user remote desktop to connect to the server.
If I login to the server as an admin user - i login to SAP as manager and can use the add on. Works fine.
If I login to the server as a regular user, login as manager into SAP, I get an installation error with the Crystal add on. Since it is already installed and working - why when i login to the same server as a different windows login but SAME manager SAP user - why would it not work?
I'm using crystal reports full version on the server because that is where I edit the reports.
The workstations have the runtime installed.
HELP!

hi
the error when I login as the user on the server is :
Add-on Crystal Reports for SAP Business One: Add-on %s - uninstall failed.
Which I don't understand at all b/c if I login on the same server as a different windows login
with admin rights it works fine.
What log file are you speaking of? I'm new to add on installs.
I don't even install SAP I work with crystal reports but got stuck dealing with this add on.
thanks!

Quicktime works for Apple QT test page but not for Apple trailers

Hi
I'm using XP Pro SP2. I've installed the latest QT 7.1.3. Looking at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
QT works fine. But on going to any of the websites at Apple trailers I just get QT with a question mark logo.
I've read the posts with similar problems but there seem to be no definitive answers.
Is it possible for anyone in Apple to suggest a solution.
Thanks

If you go to your account page there should be a Downloadable Software Purchases link on the left, and that takes you to a page that should show your QT Pro number.

Speakers work for phone and other apps, but not for music playback on 4G after downloading ios 8.0.2

I know others are having off the wall issues with sound on their iPhones after installing the iOS 8.0.2...In my case? Thank God the sound for phone calls and alarms work, but the same can't be said for when I try to play music or a radio app?? And the speaker option on my voice mail sticks....
There are 1001 other issues that I have with this so called upgrade, and let's just say that I've been looking at using my AT&T other phone options since I'm ready to upgrade....Since this is the second time in about a year that I've gone through **** and back with an Apple OS upgrade and there just isn't the cache there once was with owning an iPhone? I'm seriously questioning why be brand loyal when I can't find an answer to my issue and the one solution is to go to the Apple Store and deal with the arrogant and rude clerks OR try and see if someone has a decent solution, OR wait for weeks for Apple to offer a bug fix or access to older OS's!
(BTW--I HATE how this OS kills the battery! And I'm not happy with the 2 apps that I didn't want and can't get rid of!)

I was hoping that the iOS 8.1 update would have fixed my problem, but it has not. The app updates continue to hang and will not up date unless I follow the procedures mentioned earlier. I have spoken to Apple Care, and their only suggestion was to do a network settings reset. This worked once, but on the following days as more app updates appeared, they would not download. Once again, the only way to achieve my goal is to do one of the following;
Change networks
Sync through iTunes
Reset Network Settings
Turn off Wi Fi and use Cellular Data (not my preferred option especially while at home and connected to my home network).
I think Apple are loosing the plot and seem to be chasing profits more than producing a good reliable product. I would have respected the company more if they had admitted that iOS8 was not ready for general release rather than release a faulty system causing so many problems.

2011 17" Macbook Pro constantly drops Wifi connection on Windows 7 but not OSX. What's going on???

On OSX, the Wifi works perfectly. I rarely if ever get disconnected from the internet. However, when I switch over to Windows 7, the internet drops constantly (every 30 seconds or so).
I recently updated my OSX to the newest one (I think Yosemite) that released in December, which wiped out my Windows 7 operating system. Thus, I reinstalled windows 7 on my computer and everything works just like it used to except for the internet dropping 24/7. The weird thing about it is that whenever I "diagnose" the internet connection when it drops, the internet seems to come back to life again (for the short 30 seconds that it's up). I'm not sure why it's doing this. The internet didn't drop constantly on my previous Windows 7 until I reinstalled it.
The internet works fine with a different internet connection on Windows 7, which makes me think that the problem has to do with my internet or router... Has anyone had this problem? Restarting the router didn't do anything.

Do yu have any other Macs running Yosemite on your WiFi Network?

My Macbook Pro Retina's USB port on the right side not working at all

Dear all,
I received my macbook pro 15inch with retina display a week ago, but not until today had I got the chance to use the USB port on the right side, only to find out that it is not connecting to anything at all. I have tried to use my iPhone 4 and iPad 3 with two different cables, my USB thumb drive, and my Blackberry 9900, none of them are charging nor shown in iTunes/Finder. All of above works on the left and on other windows machines too.
I'm also not able to charge my Blackberry with the usb port on the left side, thought it would pop up a message saying "charging not supported" on the phone.
For you information, I have applied both updates including the one released few days ago. I have also tried to reset the PRAM. Also, I have migrated from my old late 2008 13inch unibody Macbook using Migration Assistant, not sure if this would affect anything.
I'm aware that there have been reports and discussions regarding the USB port not been able to run devices on 3.0 speed, but I wonder if anyone else have the same problem with me, where the port simply not connecting to anything at all?

I also have a problem with the USB port on the right side of my Retina MBP. The USB3.0 port on the left side works fine, even with high speed external SSD enclosures, like the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G which enables me to copy large files at a sustained rate of 160-170MB/sec. Wow USB3.0 and the Mercury SSD is a FAAAAST combination connected to the Retina MBP.
However, like the forum entries about the USB3.0 ports in general on the new Retina MBP, the USB3.0 port on the RIGHT side is plagued with dropping intermittently, disconnecting my external hard drives while copying large files AS WELL AS disconnecting while just sitting there connected to an external hard drive and doing nothing.
Therefore, since I don't feel like returning my Retina MBP and waiting weeks for a replacement, I have chosen to only use the left side USB3.0 port for now.
I have my suspicions about why the right side USB port might be more problematic than the left side one. I found this older post on the internet about how "Not all USB ports are created equal on MacBooks..." that talks about how on older models of MacBooks one of the USB ports shares a USB hub with multiple other devices like the iSight camera etc. therefore making it less tolerant of heavy traffic or something like that. (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/05/the-macbook-all/)
Therefore, I wonder if the right side USB port is sharing a USB internal hub where-as the left side one is more 'dedicated' and therefore in my case able to handle the high speed transfers/traffic I am throwing at it with my external SSDs.
I have also read that USB3.0 in general, on non-Macs, has had trouble for years. For instance, some forum entries on Apple Support Communities and other non-Apple forums has made mention that 'they' are not surprised at the problems encountered on USB3.0 external hard drives connected to the Retina MBP because Windows laptops have had a lot of flakey problems with USB3.0 for 'years'.
Also, I have recently purchased a "Buffalo" external Thunderbolt 1TB drive from OWC and have been doing Clones onto that drive for several weeks. I use SuperDuper to clone >600GB of data on my 768GB Retina MBP several times a week. And, I have (knock on wood) not had any problems with the stability of my externally connected Thunderbolt drive.
So, in my case, I am racking it up to high-speed stresses on the USB3.0 ports at least in part...and perhaps the possibility that the LEFT side USB port on the Retina MBP is more dependable and/or a more dedicated USB port than the right side one.
This doesn't really solve your problem, but it may at least help you feel like you are not alone.

That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?
