My MacBook trackpad has stopped working correctly and now my MacBook Pro is beginning to malfunction

yesterday my MacBook trackpad stopped working, after resetting my mac it began working again but was jumpy. Now a day later when I turn my laptop on the mouse works for a short while (maybe 4 minutes) and then begins to go jumpy again and then my screen moves to the right and my programmes begin to open and close randomly based on my trackpad movements.
I Have no idea what to do! I've tried installing updates to see if it was that but except for that i'm not that used to a Mac so I don't know! Any help appreciated!

First look at this Apple support article for possible solutions:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171
If no success, sometimes a very through cleaning of the trackpad will restore functionality.
Last, open the MBP and examine the battery to see if it has expanded.  It resides under the trackpad and may be interfering with it.  If that is the case, the battery should be replaced.
Ciao.

  • 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)

  • MESSAGE - itunes has stopped working correctly

    Hi,
    I have recently transferred to a new PC and installed itunes 10.5.
    When opening itunes i receive the error message:
    "itunes has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Needless to say no solution is received.
    A suggestion in another post on this subject in the Apple Support Communities thought this was related to itunes trying to access the itunes store and failing. Following this solution (which worked for the person who had the problem with his iphone) I:
    disconnected from the internet
    opened itunes
    syncd my ipod touch
    enabled the internet
    closed itunes and re-opened it.
    When NOT connected to the interent all was well and I synd my ipod touch. However on re-connecting to the interent I received the same error massage.  This suggests that the problem is something to do with the program trying to access the internet.
    Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem? It may not be relevant but I use AVG Internet Sucurity 2012.
    Thanks, Martin

    Great!!

  • Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly)

    Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly).
    When I search for certain words in a PDF using preview, it correctly finds all the pages in the document with that word.  However, it no longer highlights the word being searched for.  I have looked through the various settings and cannot figure out how to turn this back on.
    Thanks.

    4Shared worked, but having to register to retrieve files from there is a nuisance.
    The problem is that you use special graphic state operators inside text objects which is not allowed:

    Have a look at the PDF specification ISO 32000-1:2008 (e.g. at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf). Table 51 shows that q, Q, and cm are special graphics state operators, and Figure 9 illustrates that these operators, therefore, are not allowed in text objects, i.e. between BT and ET.

  • The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works.  However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled.  Help!

    The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works.  However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled.  Help!

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

  • Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas?

    Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas? I should probaly also add that I have also recently tried to download a screen recorder from safari and a message keeps popping up and saying that it can't verify server, even for this website

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Files cannot be downloaded from Safari on an iPod touch.

    tried another cable (from a camera) with no joy. However after turning off TM and searching for the EHD and not finding it, I revisited Disk Utility and can 'see' it there. The bad news is that it says,

  • Trackpad on 2011 i7 MBA has stopped working twice and won't work again until I do a hard reset.  Battery is not hot.  MBA is 2 weeks old. What's up, Apple?

    Twice, shortly after turning on my MBA from a restful night's sleep, my keyboard and trackpad have stopped working.  Works fine after a hard reset, but considering this baby is brand new, it shouldn't be happening.
    I am in law school and don't have time to leave my MBA with applecare.
    HELP!

    hello, i have the same problem with my mbp. and you should first shut off your MB. then when is complete off plug in your charger and hold shift+option+command+power and within 10 second you will see the front led flash 10 times more or less and your MB will restart and it should work normal

  • My trackpad has stopped working macbook core 2 duo

    my tracpad has stopped working  any ideas?  I'm using a wireless mouse now, but no luck when it is unplugged

    Hello Jmaycam,
    This is most likely a hardware issue with the track pad but have you tried removing the battery? If yes and you still have the issue I would suggest to do a clean reload of the device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    If this does not resolve the issue please contact your point of sale for warranty and repair options.
    Thanks.
