  • My track pad not working properly

    Hi Guys
    I have been reading loads of forums on trackpads not working due to updates but I only have 10.7.5.
    My track pad was working fine all day then when I get home to open computer again it starts playing up randomly selecting folders and wont click.
    I restarted my computer checked for udates now I cant click and drag but the cursor and tapping and two three fingers is fine.  Any suggestions. 
    The pad can click all the way to the bottom and if I want to use soming in the top bar I can click on it but nowhere else
    Please help

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

  • Bamboo Track Pad not working properly

    My Bamboo track pad is not working properly.  Plugged it in into my macbook pro via USB like usual today and for some reason when I try to use it and begin using the pen tool in illustrator my pointer only stays in the top left corner of my screen and wont move with my pen.  This is the first time I have had this problem with my Bamboo track pad.  Not sure why it is doing this.  My MBP recognizes the track pad but for some reason it just won't work properly.  Not sure if I need to reinstall the driver or what?  Any help would be grateful, thanks.

    Ralph, thanks for the quick reply.  All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag."  Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
    Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior.  Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click).  Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.

  • Track Pad not working properly after upgrade to OS10 Yosemite

    Since upgrade to OS10 Yosemite, my stand-alone Apple Track Pad has lost the ability to "double-tap select and drag."  Only the three finger drag works now.  My Apple Track Pad is paired to an early 2009 iMac 24".  How I can restore the "double-tap select and drag" functionality?  Any clues much appreciated.

  • Track pad not working properly

    My Mac is over 3 years old. My tracker pad has just started to play up - as if I had sticky fingers (but I don't!). Any ideas of how to fix as I never use a mouse - I always have my mac on my lap.
    thanks

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 track pad only works on the main screen

    I have a blackberry curve 8530 and the track pad will only work on the main screen.  I have removed the battery and let it sit for 2 minutes before re-installing it again, the track pad started working but only for about 30 seconds and it back to the same thing.
    Any suggestion? 
    Thanks You

    Suggest that you get your handset serviced by an expert this will solve your problem..

  • My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top.  If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them.  Thank You for your help.

    Greetings ascnephew8,
    It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:

    Hi and welcome to the forums Lotte !
    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101    Tips & Tricks
    Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc. 
    When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
    Let us know ow it goes..Happy to have you here!
