My trackpad is dead, and I'm looking for ways around this?

So my mac recenty the trackpad on my macbook started acting weird. Literally, one day I woke up and half of the trackpad wasn't working. Slowly less and less of the trackpad would work and now none of it works, sometimes the right click works but I have no control over the mouse. I've tried to turn on mouse keys so I can at least try to navigate by something other than tabbing. I've also looked into apps that would turn my iphone into a wireless keyboard, but I need to at least download the software on my mac and it's proving to be insanely hard with no use of a mouse.
If anyone had any suggestions to how I can use my macbook for the next couple weeks until I can afford to get a new track?
Thanks?
Josh

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • When i try to open itunes i get insert a disk into removable disk f and when i look for that on my computer there is no disk f

    when i try to open itunes i get the message insert a disk into removable disk f and when i look for disk f there is no f on my computer. I thought i might make a disk f that letter is not available in my device manager section. So i try and uninstall/install itunes it was error message wd is invailid character. I am in a pickle here.

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

  • Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

  • I have a contract iPhone 5S Gold64 and I am looking for 6, HOW?

    Hi,
    I have a contract iPhone 5S Gold64 and I am looking for 6 Gold64. I don't want to purchase the original price of iPhone 6 Gold 64. How can I get trade in iPhone 5s which I have and get upgrade to 6 while I am still under contract.
    Can I extend my current contract for 2 years for getting 6!
    Please help me with that because I don't want to go to AT&T. They told that they can trade in my 5S and give me 6 without paying anything except do a new contract with them.
    I want to stay with Verizon, but also I want to get iPhone6 with no original cost. I just want it for $199. How can I do that please.
    Thanks

        We don't want to see  you go either king4arabs. I understand you want to get the new iPhone 6, it's exciting. However, when you signed the contract for the iPhone 5S, you agreed to fulfill a 2-year term with that phone. Since it's not fulfilled, you can purchase the iPhone 6 at full retail value, review eligibility for Edge http://vz.to/1mYDhk7 , so you can trade it and upgrade, or use our trade-in program http://bit.ly/GGnDDC to offset the full retail cost.

  • I just bought the revolution after having a blackberry and i'm looking for a notepad type software and a place to store passwords.

    i just bought the revolution after having a blackberry and i'm looking for a notepad type software and a place to store passwords.

    I use SafeWallet after trying most of the apps in the market place. It's a bit expensive compared to most and you have to pay for the desktop application which sucks but the other apps were some cumbersome I knew I would never use them after the initial setup.
    I'll add the normal caution of storing passwords in a non-protected text file but you probably know that

    I would just advise that you be careful with old model chargers that were built for 30 pin to USB connectors for the old iPhones. They may not work for the iPhone 5 and/or they might damage the phone/battery etc. The best plan would be to wait for some kind of charger that was made for the iPhone 5.
    Nonsense; USB outputs are an industry standard, there is no danger in using a USB to Lightning cord to charge your iPhone 5.
