My trackpad gets stuck in scrolling mode

It seems as if it thinks that I've got more than one finger, so it scrolls. Is that a known problem or can it be caused from usage?

There are two thing that come to mind when this problem happens. Make sure your figures are dry and have nothing on them. If you clean you ibook and some water seeped in that also would cause it to do this, just let it dry. If this doesnt help go to system preferences>keyboard & mouse>track pad, you should see ignore accidental trackpad imput make sure it's checked. Hope this helps.

  • Mouse getting stuck in scrolling function in scroll boxes

    Hi, as the title says, occasionally the cursor gets stuck in scroll mode, where i can't move the cursor independently, the window just scrolls when i move the trackpad up/down. This only happens with the trackpad on my macbook, but when i use a mouse, there aren't any problems. I'm guessing it's just a function I don't know about that I accidentally activate, but I can't find it!
    any help is appreciated! thanks, joe

    Try going to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad and then unclick "Ignore Accidental Trackpad Input." That might fix your problem. It fixed mine when the same thing was happening to me.
    Zeb
    EDIT: Just beware that it WILL pick up "accidental trackpad input" when you turn that off. So when typing, try not to get your hands too close to the trackpad.

  • Quick Launch Desktop get stuck when scrolling Mavericks apps

    Is just that, when scrolling horizontally to go to my other apps in the quicklaunch desktop, it get's so stcuked, that event splits the screen in half icons from the left side, and half icons from the right side. Anyone? (MBP 13' mid 2012)

    I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
    I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

  • Iphone 6 gets stuck in landscape mode

    Hello
    iphone 6 or possibly the ios update has some bugs.  For instance, it gets stuck in landscape mode even though the screen rotation is not locked.
    In addition, safari does not react quickly when trying to access the menu to close a page or add a new one.  It takes several attempts and after uing the home button several times, the menu finally appears.
    Please advise

    This is happening to me too.  Some posts indicates that it is more likely to happen in zoom mode and switching to standard mode fixes it, but my phone has always been in standard mode.  I am having this problem with an iPhone 6 128 GB phone with iOS 8.1.  I hope this is only a software problem and not a hardware problem.

  • IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

    My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?

    Hi Sunnifromlondon,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
    I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:
    iOS: Screen does not rotate

  • Samsung stratosphere keeps getting stuck in landscape mode?

    All of a sudden a couple of days ago my phone started getting stuck in landscape mode, even when the auto rotation was off. I didn't mess with any of the settings to make this happen but sometimes I have to turn the screen on and off a couple of times before it goes back to regular mode. I even factory reset the phone today, but it is still going on.

    Hmm it would do that too, but I actually just realized what the problem was when
    I took the snap on case off. Apparently when I slide the keyboard down the
    bottom part of the screen goes beyond the part where it's supposed to stop. I'm
    guessing that caused some kind of censor to not work properly. But thanks for
    the help.

  • IMAC gets stuck in sleep mode

    Hi all!
    Could somebody please advice me what is going on with my iMAC Intel Core i3. I have just installed new update for 10.6.8. iMAC gets stuck after sleep mode. Power on/off is only the way to get him alive.
    I tried to 'google' this issue. Non of topics I found helped ;(
    Please!!

    You can try some basic troubleshooting:
    First restart in Safe Mode this will clear some caches.
    If that doesn't help then use Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) to Repair Disk Permissions
    If that doesn't help then download and install the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Of course make sure you have a good backup before installing the Update Combo!

  • Trackpad gets stuck

    The trackpad intermittently gets stuck.

    I am having the same problem. The stupid glass trackpad on my laptop keeps forcing itself into drag mode.
    It is as if I have somehow clicked the trackpad and held it down while moving the cursor around. (When in fact, I have NOT, I repeat NOT clicked or otherwise inadvertently touched the trackpad in any manner other than tracking the cursor about the screen.)
    Random UI elements suddenly start being dragged around the screen by the cursor. Or selecting massive amounts of text from some unknown origin selection point. Hitting the esc key does nothing.
    The only thing that seems to work is forcefully hitting the trackpad, but I'm sure that will just wind up exacerbating the issue or outright breaking the trackpad entirely.
    Meanwhile something has usually been dragged into the trash, or off the dock, or text is removed from my document and clipped onto the desktop.
    It is very annoying and frustrating.

  • Getting stuck in Headphone mode not necessarily a hardware issue, is it?

    I've read on the net that cleaning the headphone jack can correct this issue. I've also read that inserting the headphones and removing them many times (I think I've seen 7 or 8 times) can also correct the issue. None of these issues worked for me.
    What I did notice is that the presence of my headphones was indeed being detected. With the headphones plugged-in, I set the volume to a low volume, for example. With the headphones removed, I set the volume near maximum. Mind you, the phone is in Headphone mode, and won't normally play out of the speaker. But when you insert the headphones, in this example, the volume jumps to the low setting, and when the headphones are removed, the volume jumps to the near maximum setting.
    So insertion and removal of the headphones is indeed detected. So this isn't a hardware issue, then, is it? There's got to be something else going on.

    Well, I backed up, erased, and restored to get proper functionality. No longer stuck in headphone mode. I tried compressed air, and cleaning the jack. Those attempts didn't fix me. I believe it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, or a setting that will reset the logic associated with the headphone.

  • IOS 8.1.3 get stuck into recovery mode after restoring

    AAfter updating my iPhone 5s to the newest iOS it went into revovery mode and everytime I try restoring it it will just get suck into recovery mode

    Honestly, If you are stuck in recovery mode.  I would visit the nearest apple store and meet genius specialist to get you squared away.  They may get you over this hump or simply swap out your device if is a hardware issue.  I'm sorry you are faced with this issue. 

  • Iphone 4 camera gets stuck in horizontal mode sort of and text does get stuck. help?

    So ever since i updated my iphone to the OS5 i have had some odd glitches. 1. the text message screen will stay horizontal until i restart the phone. 2. The camera seems to kind of get stuck in horizontal. The camera bar that is normally at the bottome shows up on the side but the camera acts really strange. if you turn the phone horizonta and take a photo it turns up vertical. when you move the camera around to take a photo when its like this it almost acts like if you are moving it the oppisite way that you are. its very strange and frustrating. Anyone know how to fix this and make it go away?

    At some time in the past you used a program on your computer to kick the phone out of recovery mode or to hack it (e.g., tinyumbrella). This program corrupted your hosts file, preventing iTunes from contacting Apple's activation servers at gs.apple.com.
    To confirm this diagnosis open a Terminal app window and type: ping gs.apple.com.
    If you get something other than 17.112.176.11 this is your problem. To fix it edit the file /etc/hosts and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com.

  • Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

    Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
    I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
    Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
    What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
    Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
    Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.
