Magic Trackpad not working on iMac after 10.8.5 update Help!

The Magic Trackpad was working fine antil I did the OS X Lion 10.8.5 Update yesterday and the trackpad has not worked since.

Look your System Preferences - Trackpad and see if it needs adjustment. If sill no joy then try doing a SMC reset 3x and if that fails try resetting the PRAM 3X. If you are not familiar with these please click

Magic Trackpad not working properly since upgrade

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my Magic Trackpad hasn't been working properly. Specifically, the 4 finger gesture to switch between full-screen apps and the 2 finger gesture to open Notifiction Center stop working after awhile. From what I can find out it seems to be connected to my iMac going into sleep mode. I have a feeling this is a bug that Apple needs to fix. Besides going through Restart or into Terminal Mode, is there anything else that can be done?

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I still have to restart the computer to do this and as soon as it goes to sleep again, I'll have the same problem.

Lexmark P6250 scanner not working with iMac after recent software update, any ideas?

The scanner has always worked with the iMac but after a recent software update only the printer works now. I have searched the apple communities boards and have downloaded a variety of drivers suggested but nothing has solved the issue.
When I load print and scan from system preferences, I select to open the scanner and the process just hangs. I can see the scanner and am able to select to open but not able to scan.
Any ideas on how to resolve?

Unfortunately I have tried this and I have downloaded new drivers and restarted both the iMac and printer/scanner numerous times but I still only have the printer working.
I have tried to use preview via system preferences, print and scan and the when I select open scanner for preview the application hangs. I have also tried to use image capture and there is an error when selecting the scanner device of "Lexmark Language Error". When selecting overview within image capture I am advised that the size tryng to be scanned is too large when nothing has been selected and the default setting are standard size and then image capture hangs.
All features were working fine prior to conducting a software update about 8-10 weeks ago. I have downloaded further software updates which I had hoped would sort this issue but it hasn't.

Hi gusto,
I checked the above mentioned KB and the fix that worked for you is in the KB: https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30 -days.html
Try running the patch again and see if that helps.

Magic trackpad not working with mac mini

I have a new Mac mini and I paired a wireless trackpad and magic trackpad. I paired the trackpad with my MBP and it works exactly like the trackpad on my MBP. When I use the trackpad with the mini, I can't get it to "right click" or two finger scroll. For example, if I'm in iTunes, and want to scroll through my library, a two finger scroll on the trackpad just moves the curser, the only way I can move up and down on a page is to use the arrows. I can't get it to give me anything with a right click. When I go to System Prefrences, it only shows "keyboard" and "mouse", but no set up options for the trackpad. And under the mouse settings, it doesn't give me any "secondary" click options. What am I missing?

I had the same problem. Rebooting the computer fixed the issue for me.

IMessage not working on iMac after iOS8 install on iPhone

I installed iOS8 on my iPhone and my iPad but it seems to have caused iMessage to stop working on my iMac. It tells me that I cannot use my Apple ID for iMessage at this time !? Strange!
I updated the OS on the iMac to the most recent update but the iMessage still does not work. It is giving me an error message to contact Apple support with a code number shown. I did that but since its sunday today nobody was available who would know how to fix it, which is VERY annoying.
If anybody knows what to do could you please let me know.
Thank You.
Stano

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but apparently it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
Another possibility is that the primary or alternate email address is invalid. Search the Web for the phrase "My Apple ID." The top hit should be an Apple web page with that title. I'm not giving a direct link because such links are never to be trusted. Sign in and verify the ID.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm.

Why does Movie Magic Screenwriter not work on iMac intel?

Is anyone else having a problem with Screenwriter software not working on an iMac 24" intel computer running Leopard latest OS? The program keeps deleting my text, and only reappears when I resize the window. But as soon as I scroll, the text disappears, or becomes all jumbled. Any one experiencing this, and know how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Sounds like a question for the software developer.

AirDrop not working on iphone5 after ios 7.1 update

Hello
My iphone5 does not connect with my ipad air on bt or airdrop, ipad can see iphone but iphone do not pair with any device
I try hard reset, alter settings but won't work.
It seems to be a bug on ios 7.1
So sad because either I should use iCloud for exchange files Or with itunes

Also having same problems as above, AirDrop not working between iPhones or iPads from iPhoto. On same WiFi, blue tooth searching for devices but not connecting. Tried hard reset, checked privacy settings, icon is there, blinks when pressed, but no other activity. Have used AirDrop previously many times with no problems, now nothing. Machines and iOS all up to date.
Off to work, hope someone can come up with some solution.

Magic Mouse Not working with iMac. EXTREME lag.

Here's a link to video of whats happening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOogRQu93g0
The whole time I was just moving it around in a circular motion. Batteries = 97% I just got my logicboard repaired on my iMac G5 and this has been happening ever since

Try unpairing it. Do you have another mouse that you can use to see if it is the mouse, rather than the computer? If the second mouse works properly, try rep-pairing Magic Mouse.

Bluetooth Keyboard not working on iMac after upgrading to 10.10.3

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 and my bluetooth keyboard stopped working after a while. iMac (Late 2012) sees it but don't want to pair. You can see it on screenshot (never mind Russian interface).
I tried everything:
a) resetting PRAM
b) resetting SMC
c) turning bluetooth on/off
d) changing assumes in keyboard
etc, etc...
Nothing helps. Can somebody help?

HI Michelle
i have the same problem Also using an iMac21 inch late 2012. Has been working perfectly until 10.10.3. Now when the iMac wakes from sleep neither the mouse or keyboard are connected. The only recourse is to force a hard restart with the power button.
i have tried all your above items and also to no avail. I have set sleep to wait indefinitely & that has resolved my issue. Albeit with an increase in energy use.
I Would be grateful if anybody had some tips on how to resolve this situation.
thanks

Trackpad not working on BB8250 after hooking up to BB desktop S/W

My son has a BB curve 8900 and has the BB Desktop S/W installed on his laptop, I wanted to get some of his music onto my 8250 and hooked my phone up to the S/W , the only change I made was choosing ITunes instead of media player, I transferred some songs over perfectly but when disconnected from the laptop my trackpad does not respond.....I have tried a soft reset, taking the battery out while the phone is still on, leaving the battery and sim out for 5 mins, what else can I do??
Can you only use one model of BB on the S/W on the same laptop?
Am I going to have to reinstall??
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a solution posted to this but since it involves getting a little rough with your device, I advise caution beofre you try this.
Below is the link and right under that is the solution.
Being an avid BB user, I would advise going a little easy on the plate mentioned.
If that doesn't work, you can try with a little more effort every subsequent attempt.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8500/Trackpad-freezes-BB-8520/td-...
The solution is try to remove the battery, sim card and memory card. Then you will see a metal part [which is located exactly in the same place with the trackpad], simply push it and the trackpad is going to work.

Mic not working on speakerphone after iOS 5.1 update

Updated to 5.1 last night.
When using the phone, I click SPEAKER and whilst I can hear the other person, the mic on my iPhone is muted and they can't hear me.
Works fine without loudspeaker on.
Cannot press mute button to "unmute", it has no effect.
Incidentally, the noise cancelling mic at the top, doesn't get muted, it's on the main mic...
Anyone else having this problemo?
iPhone4S

It must be a software problem... My partner has the EXACT same issue - we upgraded our devices pretty much at the same time as each other...
He eventually took his phone into Apple Store last night and spoke with a genius. The guy was bit of an idiot really, checking the phone for water damage etc and insisting that it "coulnd't possibly be a software problem"... He failed to understand that two iPhones in the same household had simultaneously developed the exact same problem, after upgrading to 5.1, when they worked perfectly fine about 40 minutes earlier...
Anyway, after much huffing and puffing, my partner walked away with a brand new phone, but we had to leave it overnight to upgrade back to 5.1 and subsequently restore itself... Frankly, I'm not all that convinced it's going to work, but I will update you when I know what the latest is,,,!

MSI GT70 audio not working with hmdi after windows 8.1 update

When I connect my laptop to the TV, the video comes out fine, but the audio for the TV does not show up in playback devices. It worked fine with windows 8, but after the windows 8.1 update it stopped.
I have tried updating realtek drivers, but it still doesn't show up. updating other drivers also doesn't work. plugging the cable into the computer then booting it up also doesn't work like it did for other people. This is really making me mad... any help would be appreciated.

Pah, no probs to my ext. monitor speakers via HDMI, GT70 0NE, Win 8.1.
Have you tried assigning HDMI one on audio tab as default and see if sound will come out to tv? if so then that was the problem.

Mail not working at all after 10.9.3 update

Does anyone have a fix for this issue? I have tried reinstalling Mavericks as a whole
and Mail still isn't working. I've also tried zapping the pram and repairing disk
permissions with no luck. I can use webmail but I really need to access my
desktop Mail. When I open the program is it is grayed out across the top of
the screen and no windows come up at all. If I click any of the menus they turn
black and I can see into all of the drop down menus but a lot of the items are
grayed out like "new viewer window". If I want to quit Mail, I have to force quit it.

Before we move you to the new User, let's try nuking files used by Mail and see if we can get Mail working in your User.
System Preferences > Internet Accounts > Delete all accounts.
Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
Rename Mail to MailXX
Go to Containers in the User's Library folder. Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder. If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail. Add one account at a time and make sure it is working before adding additonal acounts.
If you have POP account you can import the "On My Mac" folders from the MailXX folder.
If this fails, we'll move you into the new User.
