Multi-touch trackpad is not working correctly anymore

My multi-touch trackpad is not working - it stops working after the first 10 seconds.
It is since today.
After reboot it works for the first 10 seconds - then it is like it needs to have a few seconds for reaction.
Any idea for the permanent blocking of the cursor?

That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
Thanks!

Multi-touch trackpad gestures not working (Macbook pro 15" unibody)

Hi,
I have a 5 day old Macbook Pro and since yesterday ive been having an intermittent fault with the 3 and 4 finger gestures on the track pad. They stop working and don't even work on restart. the computer needs to be shutdown then turned on again for it to work. When it wasn't working, i created a new user account and switched to that and it worked fine, when i switched back to my account it carried on working fine as well. I do have parallels installed with windows xp but use that rarely and the problem hasn't occurred when i have that on (only reason i mention is is that i noticed the fault a few hours after installing parallels). One of the times the problem occurred is when the computer came out of standby.
Is this a software issue or hardware issue? Does apple know about it and are they making a fix?
Thanx!!

I just upgraded my Macbook (late 2007) into X Lion , but the multi touch gestures is not working. Is this not compatible with my Macbook?

A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

My trackpad is not working correctly. Cursor not moving as desired. Not related to water

Trackpad not working. Not related to moisture etc. Moves independently and switches between screens without prompt.

Hello Rosanne,
It certainly can be inconvenient and frustrating when your trackpad is acting erratically. I recommend reviewing the following article for an issue like this:

Very bottom of iPod touch 4g does not work correctly.

I have tried, resetting it, turning it on and off of course. Nothing appears to be working, but the odd thing is, I can slide it to unlock easy enough, and the bottom tabs on the home page work fine, but the bottom part in Saffari or any other tab/app, will not work, for example: I cannot type: "." "space" "123" or any of those, which gets really frustrating, I was just wondering if there is a way to sort this, as I have seen that it is a very popular error among the iPod touch's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it now appears you have a hardware problem.

My multi-touch screen is not working

Please help me!!! My first line, which has the:Phone, Mail, Safari and iPod is not working. I tried everything on aplle's webpage, but is still not working.
Please help me!!!
There are also 2 small spots, one blue and one red.

SO did you try a restore?
If so.. then take it to Apple.

Dropdown menu on my site is not working correctly anymore

I use a CSS-based dropdown menu that has a 1 pixel white frame. In FF3.6 and in IE, Safari, Chrome it is working as dedired, but in FF4 the menu disappears as soon as I hover on the white frame. This normally only happens if I leave the area of the menu.

Problem still exists with safemode on a freshly installed 4.0b11. The installation was done in parallel to 3.6.12.
I have two sites with exactly the same css menu. The one written in xhtml 1.0 works correct, but the one written in html 4.01 has the problem. Both sites validate with no errors also for css.
When I move the mouse over the dropdown menu on my site the menu disappears when I'm exactly over the white frame.

Photoshop cs5 not working correctly anymore

'm running windows 7, and am using PS CS5. It has started developing a few problems that are becoming very troublesome. My system is 64-bit running intelcore i5 2320 3.00 gz with 6gb ram. It's a Dell which is probably the main problem to begin with, but here goes.
The first problem:
It won't open any secondary files on the first try. When it doesn't, I have to scroll through folders, then try to re-open the file. Major headache. On my preferences under performance, "Open GLdraw" is not checked.
The second problem:
It often won't let me make any image adjustments on a file, or on a layer unless I close the program and restart.
New problem: saving files in an unrecognized format. I usually can recover some if I open them with paint, but I find this ridiculous.
Anybody have any of these problems, or know of a fix other than re-installing photoshop?
Thanks!

No, didn't work. It's back to it's same old tricks. Won't open a file from another folder on the first try, or make image adjustments without restarting PS. I suspect Extraterrestrial intervention.

My trackpad was not working correctly and now when i use a mouse it wont work eather.

I have a Mac Book Pro 13" and for months now my track pad was acting up. When i was watching youtube it would randomly pause and zoom in and other things like that. I am going away and me and my sister have to share it and because her computer is fine and she isn't bring it she will have a very very hard time using it. I used to just ignore it but not it is becoming a big problem and I can't bring it to the apple store because we are leaving tomorrow and have no time at all. I herd it might have something to do with the disk or battery or the trackpad? How do I fix this problem?

go on system preffrences and trackpad and all the settings their avan in the other taps turn them all on with a tick (just click the box)

Sharing new post on Facebook,- not working correctly anymore

I use to be able to update my blog and then go to that entry and click on the " Share on Facebook" in my bookmark bar and it would automatically share it on facebook. A picture would come up and the title of the entry. But this is no longer working? I tried reseting the "share on Facebook" button, I've tried copying the link and inserting it in the "post a link" field and nothing works. It shares a long url and then when you click on it, it says:
Looking for something on MobileMe?
We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
I don't get it? Any help would be great!

Thanks for the pointers! I found that by adding facebook.com to the my cookies exception list, things started working again. I read somewhere else that the new Firefox does some conversions of URL's entered without www. into ones with that. Might something like that explain why facebook has always worked in the past but stopped working with the release of 14? Seems to be working fine now.

My i touch microphone is not working correctly

When I try to use facetime or my voice recorder there is a lot of static and my voice is not heard well. I tried this same thing on another touch at the same time and the clarity was much better. What should I do?

Try the following to rule out a spftware problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
Is the micrphone hole clear? It is the little hole on the back by the rear camera.
If you try the Voice Memos app, does the VU meter show good movement? Do voice memos sound OK?

Lightroom: The upload to flickr service is not working correctly anymore

Hi!
i have the newest version of 5.2 installed.
i have some automated virtual folders for uploading to flickr.
in former times, when i changed one of the pictures and pressed "publish", the pictures which were already online have been deleted and uploaded again (replaced).
now i have a lot of dublicates on flickr.
is there already a fix, or is this problem known?
thanks & best regards
jens

1. I don't know.
2. Maybe somebody else does.
3. If I were you, I'd try Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin. Why?
1. It may not have the same problem.
2. If it does, he'll be able to give you the straight scoop and/or fix it in a matter of hours or days, instead of weeks or months...

HT3986 Apple multi touch trackpad problems on Windows 7 64 bit bootcamp

After installing Windows 7 on Mac Pro (2011) double tap gesture on Apple mult touch tackpad does not work . Any ideas ?

Yes I did that but although the trackpad worked it did not respond to the tap rather than left clicking - After posting the query I discovered, following a search of how to switch operating systems, that 'Control Panel/Bootcamp' revealed adjustments that can be made to the trackpad & it now works - Thanks for you help anyway.

Filters not working correctly

We have the strange situation, that filters in calendar views are not working correctly (anymore?).
If i set up a filter to search for my name as attendee, teaming still shows all entries instead of only just mine. This behavior applies to customized and standard calendar views.
Filters for (customized) file folders still work as expected.
Any ideas?

Remote does not work correctly after update

Hello,
the subject explain it already:
After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
Any ideas?
BR
Frank

Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.
