MB467 Trackpad not registering clicks via press but touch only

Recently I discover that my trackpad is not working as it normally does.
The buttonless trackpad is now registering clicks badly. For 10 times I press on the glass, it register around 6. Touching to click is just fine.
This is embarrassing, when I try to drag, it stop halfway or doesn't register at all!
Anybody?

The trackpad physically moves, so it could be a faulty connection inside the machine. Certainly sounds like it. It's unlikely to be a software issue.
Your best step is to contact Apple to have the machine serviced, or take it into an Apple Store if you can.

X230t touch pad not registering clicks after spill

Hello. I accidently spilled non-acetone nail polish remover on my keyboard a day ago. I immediately turned off the laptop and wiped everything down with a paper towel. The keyboard and track point seem to be working fine, but the touch pad is having problems. It still registers when I move my finger around on it and even is able to scroll down web pages, but it will not register clicks when I click down on the touch pad or even when I tap it with my finger. Will I have to replace the whole palm rest area or should I just wait for it to dry some more? Thank you.

Hi,
This could be driver issue.
Please try to download the latest driver for your touch pad, and install it in Windows 8.1 compatibility mode to check the results.
Otherwise, contact the manufacture to feedback the issue and wait for the updated package for Windows 8.1.

My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music. Is this a feature or a defect? I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file that my computer will not recognize? This is a new problem never experienced before. I have tried updating all versions of Adobe Reader but still no results.

Turn off the "print to file" option.

Trackpad not registering hard clicks since 10.6.4 update

My trackpad cannot register "hard" clicks now after the 10.6.4 update. I can use the touch-sensitive trackpad functions without depressing the pad, but that limits my usage. For some apps, I want to press down the pad, instead of tapping it lightly. I have to press it down several times just to get it to respond. I think the culprit here is the 10.6.4 update or the update to the trackpad.
I recently erased my hard drive and installed 10.6.1. With 10.6.1, it was still working fine. The problem with the trackpad started when I updated to 10.6.4.
Any help out there?

I would post over in the MacBook Pro forums:

where those gurus hang out. You could also stop down to an Apple store or AASP if available.

IPad won't send message to number "not registered with iMes age" but iPhone 4 does! Why...

I often send and receive texts from my brother (who has a T-Mobile phone) but when I tried to send message to him with iPad2, it refuses and send "number not registered with iMessage" response. Now my iPad sends and receives me.ssages just fine with my and family member iPhones and iPad. What the **** is going on?

You can only send a Message on your iPad to another iOS device. Your iPhone, however, will convert the Message to a text message that can be received by your brother. This has to do withe the fact that the iPad is not a phone.

HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

Trackpad not registering my clicks

When I turn the computer on, the cursor will move around when I use my trackpad, but it won't click on anything. Sometimes, it's 'stuck' mid-action; for example, I turn it on and the pull-down menu under Finder on the menu bar is pulled down. As I move the cursor over the other menu items (without clicking), it pulls down the menus as I go over them, but won't let me click on anything. Sometimes, it's in drag and highlight mode. Moving the cursor over the icons on the dock, they don't magnify, and again, aren't clickable. I have to use the power button to turn it off, and I get the window that asks if I really want to shut down; I can't click on the 'shut down' button, but I can enter to select it and it then shuts down. I usually have to turn it on and then shut down this way 2-3 times, and then it finally works fine. And this doesn't happen every time I turn it on.
Took it to the Genius Bar, they couldn't recreate the problem, but they took the trackpad apart, "re-seated" it, however, it's still happening on an intermittent basis.
I've seen the past discussions regarding this issue that were posted in 2009 and 2010 and didn't see a resolution. Mine is the 2011 13" MacBook Pro that came out in March of 2011 - I bought it on the day the came out with it.
Any help is appreciated! This computer is only 4 months old, and has been treated very well, and I immediately update everytime I get an system or software update notification.

Just a little more information: I reset PRAM yesterday to see how long it would take for the "lost click" problem to recur. The reset cleared up the problem, but the issue recurred within a couple of hours of very intermittent use (that is, a few minutes of use, sleep, wake, a few minutes of use, repeat).

Mouse nor trackpad will register clicks

A couple weeks ago, right-clicking ceased on my MacBook. I thought nothing of it, and I just control-clicked to get the menu up. Yesterday, clicking altogether stopped registering on my computer. When I start up, the apple menu drops open like its clicked, but I can't actually click anything. Here is a list of what I have done to try and solve this - in no particular order:
Restart
Look for stray mice (I have the only mouse, and it responds like the trackpad - movement, but no clicks)
Reset pram/nvram
Reset smc/pmu
Unplug it
Remove the battery
I read countless articles all over the web and tried all the basics...several times. Nothing works.
Please help?
Black 2.4ghz MacBook running 10.6.8

This was happening in just about all apps that I need to click multiple times doing a repetitive task.
Mail, Finder, Mac Solitare, were the worst.
I have since deleted the plist files and restarted and this time it seems to have stoped it this time.
I had done that before with no help so I'm crossing my fingers.
were else can I look if this does not last.

Trackpad Not Recognizing Clicks

Hello,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro running OS X Lion, latest version. I bought it new in 2010. The other night I noticed that all of a sudden I cannot right or left click on the trackpad anymore. It works to right click with a double tap, but if I want to highlight text and copy it by holding down the trackpad and selecting, nothing happens. I do use a Bluetooth Wireless Magic Mouse which works fine. I have gone into the System Preferences and checked everything and it looks fine. This seems to have started out of the blue. Has anyone any answers?
Thank You,
Shellie

This problem has just started occurring on my 2009-purchased 13" MBP too. I thought I was just imagining it, but yesterday my wife told me - out of the blue - that recently she's found that she has to click a lot of times to get it to register a click. So it's really an issue.
I'm wondering if it's something that's occurred since the 10.6.3 update, or if there's a hardware fault. Might be time for me to buy AppleCare before my warranty runs out!

My iPod will not register on my computer, but it will on other computers.

I have a Windows XP and everything else works in my USB ports but my iPod. My iPod works in other computers just not mine.

Since yours is a old PC, the iPod will run into timeouts,
Re-install iTunes, it may update the iPod device driver.
Try connecting the iPod to a USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, and dont use any USB hubs
Disconnect from the Internet
Stop the Antivirus software

Lately, Firefox often won't open the links when I click on them but will only open them when I ask it to open them in a new window or tab.

Often when I open Firefox, in the middle of a session it'll stop responding to my clicking on a link to open it in the same window. It'll show the url in the bottom when I hover over it but will do nothing when I click on it. It will only work when I either right click on it (then select open in new window/tab) or command click on it (opens in new tab automatically). I've noticed that it happens a lot when clicking on a link for a Google search result, but I know that it's not exclusively there, and it probably just sticks out more in my mind.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

On opening, the browser comes up with not an address navigation bar, but with only two google search windows. How can I make it open with an actual address line?

It's all been said in the question.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
