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, MartinGreat!!

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!
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? 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. -
My
Toshiba 1TB 2.5 inch External StorE Art HDD doesn't show up in Finder.
The light is on and it hums. Has always worked perfectly and now this. Using it on a 2010 Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8tried 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,

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.

"Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" message and then app closes?
I've downloaded a trial of PS CC but when I open it, a message says "Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and then another saying "Internet Explorer will let you know if if a solution is found". HELP?!
Sorry, but I am so not good with computers, haha. I am using a PC with Windows 7, I didn't get a crash report? It just comes up with the those two messages and then closes down. I have also downloaded a trial of Lightroom and that is working absolutely fine! JUST Photoshop CC any ideas?
