My Mac book pro mouse is acting crazy, any suggestions?

The trackpad on my Mac book pro suddenly started going crazy.  Any suggestions?

Check the underside of the MBP for signs the battery is swelling. If it is, remove it immediately (assuming this is a removable battery) and run on the charger. Does that solve the problem?

    Thanks for nothing, as usual, Apple.
    I had to redo the whole project from scratch on Windows Movie Maker.
    Now I know which brand to trust on my next purchase.

  • If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

    If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

    Yes, but you should consider this.
    A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
    So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
    Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
    For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
    I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

  • Mac Book Pro - Mouse and Track Pad Freeze

    I left my mac book pro asleep for a few hours, everything had been working fine. When I returned it would not wake up so I restarted it.
    It makes the chime and comes to the password page as per normal. Then I cannot move the mouse and the keyboard does not work. Also impossible to select Caps lock (light does not come on)
    Things I have tried:
    PRAM
    Safe Start Up Mode
    Attaching external keyboard and mouse
    Restarting holding down ctrl, apple and power key
    No luck with any of the above.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks in advance!

    It's not completely clear if you are using an external USB mouse. Some people use the term "mouse" for the clicker bar so I want to make sure I understand how you are set up instead of guessing.
    If you are not using an external mouse, remove the battery and inspect it for bulging or other deformation. That can put upward pressure on the underside of the trackpad assembly and take it down, often taking the built-in keyboard with it.

  • Mac book pro is not charging fully. any USB i use is disengaged by the computer as 'it uses to much power'. Can anyone help me please

    My Mac book Pro seems to have a power problem. I have used a telstra prepaid USB for 18 months as broadband. It has been great.
    Yesterday, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
    Sometimes later, I got a message that the USB ( telstra broadband toogle) had been disabled because it was drawing too much power from the computer and could cause damage.
    I trashed Mozilla to see if that would fix the problem - it didn't.
    I tried a second USB and got the same message.
    I notice that the power % to my computer is slowly dimishing, even though I have the computer plugged in.
    Looks like I have a reasonable problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to sort out the problem please?

  • My contacts randomly disappear on my mac book pro and my iphone 4. any thoughts?

    I am having problems with my address book. I have my iphone4 and my mac book pro synced through icloud. no other users on my i.d.
    It seems to be consistant with the adresses that are rarely used. They drop off after a certain time frame? Not sure whats happening. Please advise.

    Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily all the issues here (re: iOS update). I have 7 devices that have stopped functioning within the last week and all of my devices have the latest iOS on them. I came to the forums to see what's available for help, but I'm guessing I'll need a trip to the local Genius Bar.

  • New mac book pro didn't come with any OS discs

    shouldn't the box contain OS discs and software discs?

    The first thing to do is calm down, and avoid listening to voices that only quote doom and gloom.
    And the second thing to do is recognize you have no catastrophic failure, nor any current software or harware issues at all, so you can calmly learn what there is to learn on this forum.
    Several on this site have information you can use because they have lived through disasters (both theirs and others').  "ds store" is one such voice.  He (she?) services Macs, and has worked through the transition to Lion.  dsstore has also helped several uninstall Lion and go back to Snow Leopard -- not that I am saying you should or have *ANY* reason to, but dsstore has extensive experience helping others.
    The first part of any recovery of any Mac is backups.  Lion, as I have learned from reading discussions, makes a "recovery partition" on the internal system disk.  But the risk you run of relying on that "recovery partition" is that if the disk dies, you have lost recovery.
    I will not cover the details of full backup strategies, as dsstore/eww/tjk/Csound1 can give you excrutiating detail to help you with that.
    But with the correct backup, disaster recovery is a simple set up "install new hard disk, clone from the bootable backup" ... two simple steps.  Again, such details I will leave to others.
    As to some applications not supported under Lion, there is a reason.
    Several programs were compiled for a chipset that is no longer made (PowerPC or PPC).  The code itself is not directly runnable in Intel systems, so a transition "support system" was maintained, called "Rosetta".  Rosetta is not supported in Lion anymore.  Some applications are not runnable under Lion.  Upgrading the applications seems the only recourse.
    Now I will cede the floor.

    Valuable information you add.
    This is your problem.  The mechanical switch is stuck.. Do you see a red light when you look in there? SOme do some don't.
    You need to use the headphone jack several times in and outt with the intention of flipping the switch.
    Some use a a non metal piece to flip the switch manually-  I would recommend caution here.
    Otherwise your best bet

  • Mac book pro calender

    My mac book pro calender is acting as a standalone and not sharing appointments or calenders with my other devices. The calender used to update with appointments but no longer. I am on Wifi and signal is good.
    I also need to share a I cloud calendar that I have created on the Mac however when I enter e mail address to share the calender the e mail addresses show that there is a problem and will not share.

    Have you looked at system preferences>iCloud and checked the calendars box?
