  • HT1338 track pad not working after upgrade to mountain lion

    I have just finished installing Mountain Lion and it apears to be ok but I have two imediate problems.  Firstly the track pad gestures are not working, I can only select anything with the click switch, single selection by finger is not working.  Secondly I have used the migrate assistant to transfer my files but I appear to have lost all my desktop shortcuts.  I have installed all the upgrades which were advised on start up.  I hope someone can help.

    For the first problem, you need to re-enable 'tap to click' in Sys Prefs:

  • BlackBerry Pearl 9105 track pad fault following software upgrade

    Since 22 Feb 2015 track pad and buttons like camera no longer work within most applications. Seems to be directly related to faulty automatic software upgrade that so many users are complaining about. Track pad works for 10 minutes after each hard reset, then stops working again.  Please can BlackBerry resolve urgently, as phone is now practically useless.

    Okay.  So not an OS upgrade.   Sounds like you are talking about BlackBerry Protect and it is set to perform a backup on a weekly interval.  Or else you are connecting to the Desktop Software and it is set to perform a backup weekly.  
    It is likely the problems occurring around the time of a backup is coincidence.   Not saying 100% it isn't somehow related to something you did, just it probably didn't happen because of a backup.
    So here are some thoughts: The trackpad starts working again after a hard reset.   Again, there could be more involved, but this fact suggests it is possible the issue could be software.   Here is what I would do.  
    1) Do a full backup.  
    2) Do a clean OS reinstall.  See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    3) Perform the setup and log in with Blackberry ID as necessary.   Do not restore backup.  Do not install add-on or third-party apps.  
    4) Test for a while, for an hour or so if possible.  Hopefully there is no problem.  If there is, try a hard reset and see if that corrects the problem.   It isn't good news if the problem still occurs and is corrected with a hard reset, but it may be useful information to a technician. 
    5) Assuming there is no problem in step 4, restore the backup.  Again, test for a while.   Launch apps, browse around in device settings, put the device through paces.   Hopefully there is no problem.  If there is, then it's a reasonable suspicion that the problem is associated with corrupt data or settings in the backup.  So, if there are problems in this step, do a security wipe and do a selective restore and restore personal data such as address book and calendar, but not settings and customizations.   Test again.
    6) Install apps, most needed first, one at a time.  Test before installing the next app.   If you have the problems after installing the app, delete the app and test.  
    Good luck.  Recognize that it is very possible the track pad and buttons are failing or have failed.  I'm sure repairs can be made, but I'm not one to best advise on that.   There are DIY videos and so forth on the Web, and some parts vendors provide instructions.  Another option is to find a shop and get a diagnosis and estimate, provided the cost is reasonable.

  • Flush MBP Track Pad

    I have a track pad that is flush on the top left and its a little lower on the top right is this normal?

    Let me rephrase this. I have a Mac Book Pro 17inch that has a track pad that is flush on the top left and is a little lower on the top right. I am wondering if this is normal and or if over time the top left would become higher than to unibody over time.

  • MBP Track Pad Button Thinks I'm Still Touching It (How to disable?)

    So once again I have another issue with my macbook pro. I'm long out of warranty and I don't have applecare. I already took it to apple to get an estimate of how much it would cost to just replace the whole topcase...$300 (for a stupid trackpad button).
    They said its the only way but I want to be entirely sure in case he had no idea what he was talking about.
    Here is the issue:
    I saw on some threads where other experienced similar issues but were under warranty and got lucky and were able to have it repaired.
    The trackpad works perfectly fine. The button however thinks you are stilling pressing on it. If I click once and move the cursor the begins highlighting when im obviously not holding the button down (Don't bother telling me to disable dragging in the trackpad options that isn't the issue). It will keep on doing this after I keep on pressing the button 5 more times, and after clicking it when it has gone away it comes back.
    You can tap on the trackpad and that will work perfectly fine, and honestly I can live without the button. However, even if I don't touch the button it is still recognizing something clicking the button and begins to interfere with whatever im doing with the touch pad.
    This brings me to my next point, if repairing the button is going to blow a hole in my wallet, is there a way to disable the input from the button completely. I can just live with tapping on the touch pad. Is there some software that allows me to program the computer to ignore the button or is there some wires i can cut? Even if it is something as ghetto as jamming the button with an object somehow, I'll do it.
    PLEASE HELP I need to disable this button because I dislike using an external mouse
    Thanks in advance

    hey thanks for the quick reply. I tried it and i messed around nudging the cable but it still does the same thing.
    I also forgot to mention that if you press the button really hard, like quick and solid poke on the button, it tends not to drag and think I'm still holding the button. But if you tap it lightly like one normally does, it continues to "drag" whatever the cursor was on.
    Could something be stuck? Apple here in the Philippines was being stubborn and told me that I'd have to give mine and it will most likely just be repaired at the cost of the $300 I mentioned above.

  • Track Pad not working properly after upgrade to OS10 Yosemite

    Since upgrade to OS10 Yosemite, my stand-alone Apple Track Pad has lost the ability to "double-tap select and drag."  Only the three finger drag works now.  My Apple Track Pad is paired to an early 2009 iMac 24".  How I can restore the "double-tap select and drag" functionality?  Any clues much appreciated.

    Ralph, thanks for the quick reply.  All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag."  Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
    Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior.  Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click).  Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.

  • Yosemite Built-in Track Pad Scroll Issue

    So, upgraded from snow leopard to yosemite and hate it, but the only way to run anything new software wise is to upgrade.
    Anyways, I notice when im using two fingers to scroll ont he track pad it will randomly stop and stutter. I dont have any issues using one finger to move the mouse, just scrolling up and down on safari, firefox, or any other web browser.

    I've seen a lot of posts related to the magic track pad, but this is just my built in track pad. Everything was working fine before the upgrade. Also ive unchecked the gestures.

    You can adjust the trackpad here:
    System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click
    Turn off Tap to Click this will require you to actually click the trackpad instead of just touching.
    You can also adjust the Tracking Speed using the slider.

  • MBP keyboard and track pad not working

    Today the keyboard and track pad on our mac book pro laptop just stopped working. The mouse connected to it by usb continued to work but we can't type or anything. We tried the ^F6 keyboard shortcut but it did nothing since of course the keyboard isnt working. And it is also not the number lock key. The computer was working fine all day up until now. It is just under a year old. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It appeared yesterday and then magically "repaired" itself. My MBP was fine today. Tonight the problem is back. No response from the keyboard and track pad. Track pad works fine using a USB mouse. My problem appears at start up. The cursor is in the usual upper left hand corner. It can't be moved. Restart, sleep then restart do not solve the problem.
    Suggestions?

  • Magic Track Pad disconnecting after upgrading to Maverick

    My magic track pad has worked flawlessly since purchased with my iMac in 2011. After upgrading to Mavericks it now randomly disconnects and is scrolling in reverse. In order to get it working all I need do is turn on the mouse and when it connects, then the magic track pad reconnects. Why it will only reconnect after doing that, I have no idea ? The new reverse scrolling action is also a mystery. Help please ! 

    Hello Frank,
    It can be difficult to accomplish much if your Magic Trackpad does not stay connected.  I found an article with steps you can take when you have issues with a Bluetooth device not connecting.  I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

  • My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

    My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

    Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
    Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
    other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
    You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
    Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
    I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
    How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

  • TS1248 Track Pad not working correctly after upgrading to OSX10.8

    I've the same issue since yeterday night after upgrading to OSX10.8 from OSX10.6. The problem I am having is only right side of the track pad is not working.. Did some one already experience this issue ?
    See screen shot
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    In addtion to Altenbach's comments - 
    I'd recommend trying another VI function to get the power spectrum for
    your signal to see if the behavior is the same.  You can find some
    examples of VIs using the power spectrum functions using the NI Example
    Finder.
    You can go to LabVIEW's Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.
    Then search for FFT. There should be some results that include FFT and
    Power Spectrum Units.vi, Power Spectrum Measurement.vi, Basic Spectral Measurements.vi,  and Spectrum Measurements.vi. Try opening and
    running these examples to see if the VIs are returning the proper
    results.

    Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
    If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
    Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.
