My track pad is not responsive

Since updating to Mountain Lion my trackpad on my MacBook Pro is not immediately responsive to trackpad clicks. I often have to click on a link or button many times before I get a response.I am using the latest Safari version. Track Pad responsiveness is poor or non existant for all apps.

System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click
Tap to click
Click in the box next to it, to enable the feature.

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

Press and hold the power button until the machine turns off. Then restart.

Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
Apple store to have it checked out.

HT3211 My tracking pad is not working. It controls itself and does not follow my finger commands. If I bring it to an apple store, would I be able to have a new pad installed?

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out
and repaired, if needed.

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year?

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year. I heard that the 2011's had track pad trouble.

All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

I was prompted to change batteries. I did and now my track pad is not working

I was prompted to change batteries on my track pad. I did and now the track pad is not working.

Did you replace your battery with one of as good quality as that you are disposing of. Does the indicaror light show when you start up.

My track pad will not wake up

My track pad will not wake up unless I restart the computer. How can I fix this?

I searched more using the tags I found making this post. I see it is a prevelant issue with Lion and Trackpad, maybe even Bluetooth with Lion. Sure hope Apple un-PCs this one...

MacBook Pro Retina - Track Pad problem - not responding

the main click portion of the track pad hardly clicks when using it, and sometimes is not responsive. The right click portion of the track pad is fine.

There are no hard wired zones on the trackpad for right and left clicks, although you can set it up to do this in System Preferences have you done that? In any case, the trackpad is engineered so that the outer portion is less clickable than the inner portion. If you really feel something is wrong, go to the Genius Bar.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

HT203171 my track pad is not working after the update of iTunes 11.1 version.

Two years old macbook pro track pad stuck up and moving without my fingers,this thing happens from 18 th of this month,on that day i hadbeen updated the new itunes for iOS7...after that my mac book pro trackpad not responding...please help...

I have been experiencing the same issue. My MacBook Pro is a little more n 3 years old.
AFter the updates, my computer seemed to run very erratic when running a few programs at once and the trackpad suddenly went on the fritz. For a week now, it jumps around erratically and selects things on its own.
I reset the PRAM, tried it in safe mode, reconfigured the mouse settings and nothing seems to work.
HAe you had any resolution yet?

My track pad is not working right. Help?

. Ive had my computer for 10 months now and the arrow goes all over the screen despite where I try to direct it to go. When it does work, it can take a long time to fix it and keep it on track to click something i want. Literally, the arrow moves all over the screen even if I am not touching the computer- like its possessed or something. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greetings,
How often does this occur?
Is anything touching the track pad like a computer case?
Wipe the track pad off with a clean dry soft cotton cloth. Moisture can cause strange behavior.
Try starting up the computer in the startup manager and see if the trackpad works ok there: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
