Non responsive track pad

3 year old mac book. Just repaired with new hard drive and battery. All was well until this morning. Trac pad non responsive. Moves a little bit, doesn't really track. Any ideas?

I'm getting this too with a brand new MBP. Only seems to happen after sleep and connected to external Mouse/Keyboard. Anyone else finding this?

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.
Best.

My I pad is non responsive, and the screen is full of coloured stripes. How do I fix that?

My brand new I pad 2 is non responsive and the screen is blac with horizontal coloured stripes.
How do I fix that?

You could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then other things to try are a restore via your computer's iTunes, and then reset back to factory defaults. If none of them work then you may need to contact Apple.

Mac book pro 13 nuovo di un mese, non funziona la track pad e il puntatore resta fermo

Appena acceso il puntatore era rimasto fisso sulla meletta in alto a sinistra, ovvero dove l'ho lasciato prima di spegnerlo l'ultima volta. Il track pad non risponde, nè lo scorrimento nè il tasto.
Se attacco un mouse con usb il puntatore funziona.
Cosa può essere successo?

It Is possible for Apple give an Answer?

Track pad responsive at first then erratic

18 month old 16 inch macbook pro. Track pad responsive when computer first turned on then after a few minutes track pad erratic and unresponsive. Cursor floats, stubborn movement. When external mouse plugged in, all works fine. How much does it cost to replace track pad? Any first aid tips?

It could also be a swollen battery, that is pushing at the trackpad. By the way, Apple has no 16" MBP.

Non-responsive keyboard and touch pad

I have a dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook. After the computer starts up and reaches the windows login screen, the keyboard and touch pad are non-responsive. The curser is blinking in the space to type the password, but I cannot type anything. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?

Hi,
Can you access Windows Recovery Console by tapping away at f8 as you start the notebook?

Sulapeace,
for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them?

Brand new Satellite C50-A -02T No Track Pad Response

Hello; Just took a brand new Satellite C50-A -02T (PSCF6C-02T002) out of the box and the trackpad does not work. Windows 8 OS. Hooked up an external mouse and; Updated the trackpad drivers from the Toshiba site, no luck.Updated windows, no luck.Updated to windows 8.1, no luck.Googled the issue and tried the 'pull battery, press power button, replace battery, press f2...' but it just boots back to windows, does not go into the bios...I bought 2 of these on clearance after christmas and have been using one with no issue since then. My parents need a new laptop so I pulled this one out and was going to set it up for them but cannot get the bloody track pad to work. Any help out there? Thanks;

Just to add a couple things: CANNOT get into the BIOS after pulling the battery and holding the power button. It ignores my attempt (have tried 6 times) and can get into the bios any other time I try.When I go into the control panel and click on mouse it tells me 'Unable to connect to the synaptics Pointing Device Driver' I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice now with no success.It does not show up in the device driver list.About to take the nuclear option and reinstall windows...

Non-Scrolling, Non-Zooming Magic Track Pad???

Hi guys!
Any ideas here? I love the Magic Track Pad when its working, but now I seem to have lost the ability to two-finger scroll and zoom. I've probably done something wrong setting-wise to get back to where I was.
Help appreciated for a happy Mac user in sunny Western Australia!

I thought the whole point of an iPad was touching the screen.......

Cusrsor Freezes up and is non responsive- Solution?

I am using a mouse with my newly purchase C2D MBP and still from time to time, getting the non responsive frozen cursor. As far as I can tell, there appears to be no rhyme or reason to this. This is my second computer. First there was an odd low pitch beeping sound coming from the left side near speaker as well as the non responsive frozen cursor. Exchanged the computer for exact same model I have now. No longer have the beep but noticing lately there is still the non responsive frozen cursor problem I had with the original one. The Apple solution as far as disabling track pad really has no relavelance to the problem I am experiencing with my computer as well as I see from others in this discussion. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?
Macbook Pro C2D MBP Mac OS X (10.4.8)

1. Try unplugging the mouse and plugging it back it when it freezes.
2. Note the exact time if freezes and check your system logs in your Console application for clues.
3. Boot from your system install DVD, play around with the mouse awhile and see if you can get it to freeze. This will help determine if it's software or hardware related.
4. You could have some bad sectors on your hard drive. Back it up and do a "Zero all data" reformat. Then clone everything back.

MBP keyboard and track pad not working

Today the keyboard and track pad on our mac book pro laptop just stopped working. The mouse connected to it by usb continued to work but we can't type or anything. We tried the ^F6 keyboard shortcut but it did nothing since of course the keyboard isnt working. And it is also not the number lock key. The computer was working fine all day up until now. It is just under a year old. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. It appeared yesterday and then magically "repaired" itself. My MBP was fine today. Tonight the problem is back. No response from the keyboard and track pad. Track pad works fine using a USB mouse. My problem appears at start up. The cursor is in the usual upper left hand corner. It can't be moved. Restart, sleep then restart do not solve the problem.
Suggestions?

With snow leopard, basic keyboard functions like double clicking on a desktop item now require me to hold control and then click on the track pad. I'm trying to recall, I seem to remember Leopard allowing you to double click items to open them?

I notice in iPhoto that if I used to be able to single/double click on a photo to view it but now if I click CONTROL and then the TRACK PAD, the options don't allow me to open JUST that photo in nearly full page format. Any suggestions?

"nearly full page" means that I used to be able to double click on a photo in iPhoto, and it would open up to a full image within iPhoto itself. Now, there is absolutely no option to enlarge a photo unless you go to slideshow - no option to double click or side click or Control+click or Command+click or anything at all. The small white arrow at the bottom right corner of every photo gives you options, but none are options that include enlarging a photo to see it bigger. And no, you cannot double click it at all to even open it up in any other app unless you click/drag onto desktop and then open in Photoshop, or equivalent app. Yes, checked TP preferences. No, it doesn't help.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
