My fingers have a burning sensation while using track pad. Is there a reduce-friction coating that could have worn off?

I have recently been getting a burning sensation, as if my finger tips are rubbed raw, while using my track pad. I have been using my MacBook Pro for two years now. I am wondering if the track pads have a special coating on them to help reduce friction? If there is a friction reducing coating I think it could have worn off over the years of use. Maybe my fingers have more oils/sweat than most people, which would cause a coating to wear off faster. I stopped using it for some weeks hoping maybe my fingers were sore from something else. But that was not the case. The burning feeling to my finger tips starts within the first five minutes of using the track pad.
Please let me know if you know anything about Apple using a special coating on the track pad.
Thanks
Its a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010

I have no different issue. Recently I bought MacBook Pro with retina display ang iPhone 6 plus. I have a burning sensation while using mac track pad. it becomes intense shortly using track pad and I cannot work.
The problem is same while using my iphone 6 plus. If it is an allergy to mixing of some metal with aluminium(as some of you have mentioned) it should not be a problem with iphone, but i have the same burning issue with using phone as well.

to create standard-conform DVDs = playable on any DVDplayer, there's much more to do than just converting to mpeg(2)...-
you need a DVD-authoring app, as iDVD, Burn, Toast ........... drag any iMovie export into it, 'burn'.

HT3981 how can use track pad in windows using macbook

Hi everyone.
Can anyone guide me , How can we use track Pad click and right click in Macbook while running Windows 7.?
Kind regards,
Kabir

It appears you did not complete the installation and set up of Windows. Did you install the Boot Camp support software/drivers from your Snow Leopard installation disk? If you did you shouls have the Boot Camp Tools icon on your Windows. Access these tools and set up the track pad.

My ipad is showing 7gb of storage being used on photos but there's no where near that many pictures! How do i get it to show the correct amount of storage available?

My ipad is showing 7gb of storage being used on photos but there's no where near that many. I turned off photo stream but nothing has changed yet. How do i get it to display the correct internal usage now that photo stream is off? I also thought that icloud used another form of storage outside of the internal storage for photos, so im not exactly sure why the photos were ever in my internal storage to begin with. Does anyone know how that happens, or how to correct this problem? Im also trying to sync my ipad with my computer hoping that'll help, but nothing so far, its just taking a long time to back up.

If you are syncing now, that may correct the incorrect storage reading - assuming that it is incorrect.
You can also try something like this. While the iPad is still connected to iTunes - but after you sync - go into the Photos Tab in iTunes and toggle setting for Sync Photos From. Uncheck the setting and then check it again. See if that affects the capacity bar to show the correct storage amount.

I only use Windows XP, is there a version of Lightroom that will work with XP

I only use Windows XP, is there a version of Lightroom that will work with XP

Yes if you want to run Version 1....you can still download version 1.4.1 (the last update to Version 1), and your serial number would be good for that.
But if you want to run Version 2 or Version 3 you'll need to buy a new license (i.e. a new serial number), but if you have a valid serial number from any prior version you only have to pay for the upgrade license for the later version, not the full license.

On my iPad mini, it shows that there is 958 KB of data on it yet I've never used it. Is there anyway I can delete that data off my iPad mini?

Hi Angela,
I suspect it's background overhead used by TM leftover from this disk's TM days. Whatever it is, I don't know that there's a way to access it. To get rid of it, format the disk.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
Is this as good as it gets?
Hypnoguy

Hypnoguy,
Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Hope that helps,
Weston

Cannot type or use track pad when waking from sleep mode - frozen!

I've had this ongoing and random problem that occurs when I wake my PowerBook G4 Titanium from sleep. Basically, I can't type or use the track pad, the only thing that works is plugging a mouse into the USB port and clicking OK numerous times or Cancel (so it goes back to sleep, then wake it up again). Usually, about the 2nd or 3rd time of putting it back to sleep and waking it up again, the typing returns. I've also noticed that if I lift the keyboard and put it back down firmly it sometimes works, however, I have a feeling it has nothing to do with the keyboard, but more an internal issue.
Any ideas?? I'm lost...
Chris

I purchased a 17" PB in early March.
I had various issues such as the one as you have described. I decided to never let the machine sleep and shut it down when not using it. Completely different than the way I treated my 15" which never slept or froze.
I have also had the issue of the computer freezing basically when not really doing anything RAM intensive at all... This would happen about once an hour.
I read through endless posts here and did endless tests, etc. I replaced both RAM chips and had apparently solved the problem as I did not have a crash in over a week.
But, recently it has begun freezing about once a day.
I really don't have an answer for it. I have an upcoming out of town project that I need to take the PB on, freezing or not.
When I return though, my first stop is to take the machine to the Apple Store for observation / repair.
I'll let you know what they discover.

Can i use track pad and mouse when using two displays

I have a second display I wonder if I can use my mouse for the other display and my track pad for my macbook pro.
if not what will be the solution.
ps: my second display is a tv.

Although Apple has enabled multiple Finder and Dock display functionality as an option within Mission Control preferences, there is no means to assign pointing devices to different displays.
I have two Apple devices: Magic Trackpad and Mouse. One mouse pointer is allocated to both devices regardless which screen I am using. That's the way it is.

Using track pad on iMac

Hi
I have just bought a track pad for my iMac. Pleased with it but not sure about one thing, is it possible to do a double tap on pad to pick things up and move them like the windows or a files? I find pressing down hard on the track pad to move things is quite difficult and you can do a double tap and hold your finger down on a Mac book pro.
Thanks for any help

Gramps,
I haven't tried a "safe boot" but overnight I disconnected my ScanSnap S1500M, and two external firewire drives, a G-tech and a LaCie. The problem appears to have gone away for now. When I figure out which peripheral is causing the problem I'll be able to deal with it. Fujitsu just issued an update on the scanner (I had the problem before the update) so I'll see if the drives can be updated.
I'll also try the safe boot. I might have more than one problem.
Thanks to all for taking time to help, I may be back.

Disable Charms Bar when using track pad on laptop?

Is there a way to disable the Charms Bar from coming up AT ALL when making ANY type of motions, gestures, etc on a laptop track pad?
My sister has a laptop with windows 8 and some random gestures she'll make (they're very generic movements) brings up the Charms bar and interrupts her work, which is imperative that it DOES NOT.
I have tried software and creating registry keys. But that has only disabled Charms when moving to the right hand side of the screen.
Charms is the only issue. If I can disable it, she won't have to dish out $100 more for Windows 7.
Is there anyway to disable it permanently from being activated with the track pad? I know it can be accessed with the Windows key + another key.
But this Charms is very intrusive, disruptive and interruptive to her work.

Is there a way to disable the Charms Bar from coming up AT ALL when making ANY type of motions, gestures, etc on a laptop track pad?
Turn off all Touch screen emulation features to make the touchpad emulate only a mouse. Then the Charms bar can only appear when the mouse pointer is in either the top or bottom corner on the right. Alternatively get a real mouse and disable
the Touchpad completely, enabling it only when desiring to experiment with Touch screen emulation features.

I am trying to debug HTBasic code modules while using Test Stand, how do I refresh the subs that have been loaded in memory?

I am writing an application for Test Stand, we are using modules previously written in HTBasic. Whenever I make a change to the code and try to re-run the program, it just runs the old version of the code. The only way to refresh the code is to close Test Stand down and restart it. Is there a way to flush the memory of modules?

Hi,
I haven't used HTBasic with TestStand 2.0.x, but I'm assuming that you have the steps in the sequence set to unload when sequence file is closed (look under the step properties -> run options tab).
If you're still prototypeing, use the File->Unload all modules option. Have a look at page 4-3 in the user manual - it refers to .DLLs, but I'm assuming the HTBasic falls into the same methodology.
Altering the run options from it's default will affect the memory useage and speed of execution of the test sequence. Have a look at page 5-22 (page 158 in the .pdf) in the TestStand user manual - basically, if a code module is loaded into memory already, when the step gets to execute, the loading overhead is already done. If it stays in memory after this, then it's avail
able for next time (quicker second run 'cos it doesn't need to load again. However, the balanceing factor is the sequence is useing more memory at a time, by haveing the module ready.
My usual setting is to use Load dynamically, and Unload after sequence executes. I use this is only during development however, as this is not the most speed friendly, but a compromise so that if I don't call a step I don't load it, but if I do use a step, I'm sure it's free again when I need to modify the .dll modules I create. If you have a look on page 5-7 (143) of the user manual you can set the sequence file to effectively over-ride each step's load and unload settings - useful if you want to revert back again later. If you use this, you'll see that the top two run options for the step are greyed out, but if you set it back with the sequence file options, they do revert back to their original settings.
Hope that helps (and works!!)

While use of IL01, is there a way to enforce entry of characters?

When creating a new functional location using IL01, is there a way to enforce entry of a character in each space?, to ensure there are NO blank spaces?
I have a new FLoc Structure created.
NNNNA-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX
The business is asking if there a way to enforce entry of a character in each space?, to ensure there are NO blank spaces?
Can anyone know of way to enforce entry or has done this before?
Thanks,,
David.

Hi David,
There isnt any standard solution for your requirement because for Blank Spaces also the system considers to be a Character.
