Macbook touchpad is not working

The touch pad on my 2008 Macbook is not working. I can scroll up and down, but cannot select. Any suggestions on if it can be fixed?

Very interesting!!! Because today my touchpad on my MacBook Air stopped working. I can move the cursor but every other motion like drag and drop or selecting, etc, doesn't work.
And I just logged on for help.
I will try the PRAM reset, etc., that was suggested.

Macbook Touchpad clicking not working

My macbook has ran out of warranty and of course it messes up. The touchpad doesn't click down anymore and this is the 2nd times its happened. The first time I took it to macauthority and they charged me 90$ to fix it, and now this is the second time its happened within 3 months of getting it fixed. I'm very annoyed because there has been numerous things wrong with my computer. Will apple repair free without warranty, or will I end up getting charged like crazy since its out of warranty and its the second time its happened. I would rather not drive 3 hours to an apple store to ask them what the deal with and tell them how annoyed I am.

Repairs done by an Apple authorized service provider come with a 90 day warranty. Contact the people that did your repair, or if you can't get to them contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store. The new repair should be covered by the warranty of the old repair.
Best of luck.

Power the machine OFF.
At the SAME TIME hold down the following buttons:
Shift
Control
Option
Power
Then release all buttons. Power up the Macbook and see if the trackpad button work.
Hope this helps.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

Touchpad does not work even after format - x220t

Hi there,
I've had my X220 tablet for about 10 months and it has been great. For the last month however, the touchpad and touchpoint have become flaky. When rebooted or coming out of standby, the touchpoint/touchpad often did not work; after resetting a few times, i would work, but then stop working again when the system when into standby mode.
I thought this was a driver issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling to the newest drivers did nothing. I have also updated/reset the BIOS.
I have more recently have not been able to get the touchpad working at all now and relying on just the touchscreen for input is very frustrating.
When Windows 8 CP came out this week, I decided to give the computer a fresh format and reinstall Windows --- maybe that would resolve the issue. No luck. The touchpoint/touchpad did not work even in Windows 8.
I read around a bit and have tried disabling JUST the touchpad in the BIOS, and amazingly, the touchpoint will work fine when I do that. When I disable just the touchpoint or leaving both enabled, neither the touchpad or touchpoint will work.
As far as I can tell from what I have been able to diagnose, the touchpad is damaged and is causing a conflict with the touchpoint when enabled. I am not sure of this, but it is my belief now.
Are there solutions out there for me? I do have 2 months left on my warranty, but I hope to keep mailing my notebook in for support as a last resort.
thank you,
steve

If you are ready to reinstall Windows, try this method:

If after that your trackpoint/touchpad still don't work, I think one of them (or both) is defective.

The sound on my macbook pro is not working

The sound on my macbook pro is not working. When I increase the sound, the icon appears as if everything is working, but no sound comes from the speakers. Earphones don't work either. I have tried a PRAM reset but at times, this doesn't even work. It's really frustrating having to restart my computer every time I want the sound to work, and even when I do that, theres a 50 50 chance of it working again. It generally happens after my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it or even know what caused it?
There are a lot of discussions around the earphone jack but I have checked that. I've tried a PRAM reset which hasn't worked, and my sound output is set to Internal speakers.
HELP!!

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Touchpad is not working properly on Satellite L30-X10

Hi to all of you.
I've got the following issue: On my notebook the scroll on the touchpad is not working. If somebody can tell me how to fix this problem it would be kindly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure if this can be a good solution but maybe its worth to try it:
1. Download the latest touchpad software from here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
2. Remove the old software
3. Reinstall the downloaded software
4. Go into your mouse properties and check if everything is configured (especially the scroll function)
Give some feedback in case of further questions..
Cheers

Tecra M3 - touchpad is not working with Windows 7

I have a Tecra M3 that I have updgraded to Windows 7. The touchpad is not working.
The Toshiba website does not have Windows 7 drivers for this model. I have tried installing the touchpad driver and TVAP from the A11 model but still cannot get it to work.
Can anybody help? The audio doesn't seem to be functioning either.

Hi buddy,
As Silas wrote, it could be a little bit problematic to find the correct drivers because it doesnt support Vista...
You should try a touchpad driver from another model like Tecra M4. This should work.
But Im wondering about this. Basic functions of touchpad should also work without special driver.
Can you use the touchpad at the moment?

Macbook pro sound not working

It seems that the sound on my macbook pro does not work when watching videos such as those on youtube. Please help.

Here is YouTube's help page if you have no sound on YouTube videos:

Try re-installing Flash player. I'm assuming at this stage that all your other audio works fine, e.g. CDs, DVDs, system sounds, etc...

Yuu can try to reactivate your iSight camera by opening up iMessage.. navigate to Preferences/Audio Video,and then click on Camera. IT shoudl be grayed-out if you only have one camera hooked up to your machine. If you have an external camera, then disconnect it from your machine.

My charger for my MacBook Pro is not working

The charger cord for my MacBook Pro is not working. This happened before but I do not remember what the tech guy had me do. It was a simple fix....

If the SMC reset does not work check for contamination or stuck pins:
