Magic trackpad single tap not working

Hey Everyone,
So I have a new 2014 mac mini, and I have the magic trackpad and wireless keyboard connected to it. In my settings I have the "single tap" turned on, but when actually "tapping" with a single press, it doesn't work. The only way it works is if I actually use the click function. Now, I have bootcamp loaded up and these functions works perfect on my windows 8.1 partition. Any suggestions?

Using Lion 10.7.2, iMac 2010, Bluetooth trackpad, keyboard and mouse. Suddenly computer screen/screens would freeze after a prolonged (hours>overnight) sleep, no response to the trackpad or keyboard, requiring a restart. Problem has been fixed for past 2+ weeks, after performing the following:
1. Connect USB keyboard and mouse and restart computer.
2. Remove all 3 Bluetooth devices and partially remove batteries.
3. Turn off Bluetooth in System Preferences.
4. After overnight sleep, turn on Bluetooth in System Preferences.
5. Reconnect Bluetooth keyboard. Waited another day.
6. Reconnect Bluetooth trackpad and mouse.
7. After overnight sleep, everything was OK.
8. Removed USB mouse and keyboard.
9. No further problems with sleep>freezing and bluetooth devices all OK.

It sounds that you still have contaminants in your track pad. Take it to a qualified repair facility. As a last resort you may spray the track pad with non-residue electrical cleaner to wash away the contaminants. This may or may not work and entails an element of risk.

Macbook Pro with Retina Display Trackpad double tap not working

I just got my macbook pro with retina display and updated it to mountain lion. When I double tap text, it doesn't highlight it like it used to on my old macbook.
I tried to so the trackpad update 1.0 but it says it is not supported on your system. What does that mean?? And even holding and highlighting doesn't work. is anyone else having the same problem?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

I have the same problem. I contacted magic jack, and after more than an hour of waiting, here is the final part of our discussion, before I had to leave to go to work:
Me: the magic jack app has worked fine for months unregistered. Never had a problem before. I must go to work now. I will leave the chat box open. if you could, send me a list of possible fixes and I will try to apply them when I get back. Please write in detail. Is there a way that I can get in touch and get a senior rep on right away to handle my problem when I get back, or do I hae to wait again when I call next time?
Kara: I am one of the senior rep here and in fact one of the supervisors . Here is what you are going to do:
Kara: Once you register the magicjack app into your Iphone, we can refresh your account connections here manually however if you dont register it, no options in our end to work for your connections since the MJ app is not used to be registered. No worries, we can remove your account if you dont want the service anymore for free.
+++++++++++++++++
So, it would seem that either there is a problem that they don't know about, or else magic jack is trying to force everyone to not choose option 3 on the opening screen, the one which allows you to continue to make a call without registering.
Has anyone received a solution to this problem from magic jack support?

The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

Hello,
After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly. I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff

I am having the same problem now.
Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
Now I have lost function in Spaces.
Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
Now just run everything in one Space.

Trackpad scroll function not working in any app - tried everything

Hello.
This is my 1st time writing in the forums, and although I have read multiple threads on this issue, nothing has yet solved my problem, including: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248, & http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449. SO ANY HELP IS WELCOME! I have a mid-2010 MBP 13" intel-based dual core with Mavericks OSX 10.9.1 installed already a couple of months now. As of last night, my two-finger scroll does not function in any app. It is the ONLY function on my trackpad that does not work. I have tried changing all scroll preferences, restarting the browser (firefox 27.0.1) & computer, as well as opening Preview app 7.0 to see if it affects other apps as well. It does not work even in Finder. I looked in the permissions section of my apps by right-clicking on "get info" & there seems to be a discrepancy between the default users and their permissions. I am wondering if this is perhaps the problem and can be reset somehow to default settings or if there is a terminal command that can reset the trackpad (like the PC function in the device manager of the control panel, diagnose/repair)? I have a screen shot of the different users/permissions that I can send/post you if necessary, but you'll have to explain me how to do this, as this is my 1st post. Thank-you!

So whoever falls on this issue, I have visited the Apple Genius Bar today & this is what finally solved my problems:
1. We created a TEST guest account in System Preferences to find out if it was a user-specific related problem, and it was as the 2-finger scroll function was working in the new user account. I was told this means that the problem is due to a setting that was recently added/deleted/changed.
2. We deleted the new user account.
3. We deleted the entire user library folder (except the Mail folder), as that is where all preferences are apparently stored.
4. VOILA! 2-finger scrolling now functions as was intended (only all settings must now be recreated).
It is tedious, but at least everything functions as normal & nothing needs to be backed up!
Hope if anyone else has had this problem, they find this post.
Cheers,
Leo

Installed new trackpad...not working correctly

Hi,
I just installed a new trackpad and it is not working correctly. The tap to click is not working and it takes extra pressure to even move the tracking arrow. Any ideas?

I have an Apple Magic Trackpad I purchased November 2013. Since upgrading to 10.9 (Maverick) my trackpad will just stop. My current workaround: turn my Magic Mouse back on (I set it aside in favor of the trackpad), and my trackpad comes back to life. I turn off the mouse, and the trackpad continues ... for now.
Strange, and I have no other answers for you.

TrackPad physical click not working after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Does anybody know how to get my trackpad working again after upgrading to Mountain Lion?
I recently upgraded my MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009, Intel Core 2 Duo) from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Everything seems to have gone well, except for trackpad behavior.
The primary problem is that the physical click of the trackpad is now erratic. Sometimes a physical click will work, and other times it will not work.
Note: The "tapping" of the trackpad DOES work consistently. I have confirmed that System Prefs > Trackpad > "Tap to Click" is enabled, and so tapping is not the problem. (The "tap to click" selector does exhibit a unique behavior however--if I DESELECT "tap to click," then the physical click no longer works at all. It looks like the "tap to click" selector can completely disable the physical click of the trackpad, but cannot enable the physical click completely.)
I have also checked the settings on System Prefs > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad, but none of those settings affect the physical click of the trackpad.
I tried zapping the PRAM, but that did not change the problem with physical clicking on the trackpad.
Grateful for any ideas...
Nertz

I ended up taking my MacBook to the Apple Genius Bar. The staff were very helpful.
The apple staff said that there is no known link between the upgrade to Mountain Lion and trackpad misbehavior. In my case, they made some hardware adjustments to the trackpad, and all is working properly again.
Bottom line: if you think that your trackpad misbehavior is related to Mountain Lion, you might want to take it to an Apple Genius Bar. If there really is no connection between Mountain Lion and trackpad behavior, then perhaps they can fix it for you (as happened to be true in my case). But if there IS a connection in some way, it would be helpful for Apple employees to see your evidence firsthand.
Best wishes to all...

My trackpad click is not working correctly

Hello
My trackpad click not working very well. the click only work when press in the centre area of the trackpad which make it difficult to click so now I enable tap touch to make click. I got used to touch tap but if you want to drag something it is annoying.
anyway, is my trackpad is damaged or software problems ?
how can I fix it ?
I don't have Apple insurance Can I bring it to the Apple store ? Can I buy AppleCare now ?
I got the latest MacBook

If your MacBook was bought less than 12 months ago it's still under the 1 year warranty. You can only buy the AppleCare warranty extension before the original warranty runs out.

MBP 2008 Click disabled on trackpad, left click not working on mightymouse & wacom pen tablet.

Hello,
i have a problem with a Macbook pro 2008.
The trackpad click button is not working anymore
(i've already tried to remove the battery underneath and push the wire that's connected to the pad,
nothing changed).
I've managed to sync a mightymouse, left click is disabled as well
(but not right click).
Then i've tried with a wacom tablet. Right click works, but not left.
(also tested switching buttons, yet no left click).
In conclusion :
left click is not functionning with any of the peripherals,
left & right click are disabled on the trackpad.
I've also tried "tap to click" without success.
Does someone have any idea of what is happening?
And how could a have the left click back?
Regards
F

Since you have a 2014 MBP, by definition it is in the 1 year warranty period. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians sort the unit out for you.
Ciao.

Magic trackpad jerky and not smooth lots of troubleshooting to no avail.

Uggg... so I swear this started a few days ago when I was trying to do the photo's upload (didn't work) but it might just have been coincidence...
My magic trackpad (bluetooth enabled using with my iMac) is crazy jerky and NOT smooth at any speed.... here is all the info... this is VERY strange.
A regular plugged in mouse works fine.
The trackpad IS jerky on other users.
I have cleaned it and dried it multiple times
Brand new batteries reading at 100%
Have un paired and paired it again.
Have paired the Trackpad with ANOTHER COMPUTER and it works FINE.
I am at a loss.
All software updates are up to date. I have turned bluetooth off and on.
Ugg... I literally can't think of anything else to do... I obviously am using this CONSTANTLY so any ideas would be much appreciated!
Josh

Help! Trackpad swipe gestures not working - windows 8 pro mc x64

Hi
I have windows 8 pro mc x64 with bootcamp 5, on my macbook pro 13" mid 2010, everything worked, but my trackpad has no swipe gestures.
No back/forward with 3 fingers on google chrome for exemple.
Is there a WINDOWS REGISTER mod that would enable this feature?
I tried trackpad++ but no good, and also i don't like it, a lot of junk to install.
Thanks

Trackpad ++ is the only viable option for swiping et. al and is very simple to install.
If you follow the install instructions and read them thoroughly you'll see what I mean.
Read the later posts from page 33 to the end here...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2436935?start=480&tstart=0
The only other option is the Magic Tools http://www.trackpadmagic.com/magic-trackpad/home
but it does not provide the features you are seeking.
Those of us using Tackpad++ are well pleased and Vladimir just keeps improving it consistently..
