Pad super sensitive to "clicking"

There is no easy to describe it. Started two days ago:
1) You know the function where double-click allows you to cover a word/sentense/paragraph? Somehow just by moving my finger across the pad would frequently activate that function. I would be moving my cursor to click a button, and cursor would drag down the blue-cover as it moves.
2) Similar to above, I move my cursor about, and sometimes I'd open up the right-click menu.
3) When I apple-click to open a new tab in Safari, it opens up the same page THREE TIMES, thus created three identical tabs.
4) Moving my cusor over folders sometimes would open them up, as if I double-clicked them.
Again, this happened two days ago, after an incident where my computer froze and I had to shut down the computer by turning off its power. It happend twice in the same hour. After I restarted again, I properly shut down and see the problem fixes itself. It doesn;t.
I intend to check on the hardwarre once I understand it's not a system problem. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Take it back/return o Apple Store.
Maybe they will give you another new replacement.
Good Luck!

  • How do I adjust SUPER-sensitive click-wheel???  It's driving me nuts!

    How do I adjust SUPER-sensitive click-wheel??? It's driving me nuts! There has to be a way to tone it down. I didn't see anything in the settings or on iTunes with it plugged in. I've compared it to many others and mine is horrible. I can't even click any of the function buttons without the click-wheel operation spinning. PLEASE HELP! Thanks a million. (3rd Gen Nano)

  • New 5k iMac track pad very sensitive can it be changed

    New iMac track pad very sensitive,
    Can it be changed?
    I slowed the arrow speed down, that did not help.
    The problem appears to be that when I scroll  over a link or item it either goes to the link or opens a box to request an action be taken.
    If this is normal does the magic mouse have the same sensitivity?

    Look in System Preferences - Trackpad for the settings,  if you find it too sensitive then you should uncheck the "Tap to Click" box.

  • When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching.  Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too.  Can I move these back?

    weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

  • Keyboard issue: Super-sensitive "z" key all of a sudden...

    Just noticed in the last day or two that the "z" key on my q10 has become super sensitive, it is almost impossible to type an "s" on the keyboard without a "z" being added on...in fact, you don't have to fully depress the "z" key to get a z, you just need the fainted pressure on it. Ideas? Has to be a hardware issue, doesn't it?

        Thanks for trying that, stheemka! We want to put a stop to any further frustration you're experiencing with this issue on your Q10. Since the device isn't damaged and is less than 12 months active, it may qualify for warranty replacement. If you haven't already been presented this option, please follow my handle (DionM_VZW) so that we can direct message each other (I've just send you a follow request).

  • My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting a screen protecter but didnt work pls help

    My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting on a screen protecter but this didnt work please help?

    While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
    Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
    You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced.

  • Track pad extremely sensitive in drag and drop and clicking

  • Track pad too sensitive

    My track pad is unpredictably sensitive. Often it will highlight lots of items instead of the one I select  the "feel" is different, not feeling like it has "clicked".  Other times a selection box will appear for no apparent reason

    Go to system preferences, trackpad, and turn off the "tap to click" option.
    Everything else will still work the same. You now just push a little harder when you want to actuall "click" on something.
    This completely resolved the issue for me.

  • Track pad not sensitive enough

    My Macbook alum has been working well for the last year or two. Within the last couple months, the track pad has become increasingly less sensitive...clicking on it does not always invoke a selection as intended even when a clear click sound is heard. I find i need to click much harder than standard use to get it to respond.
    I checked the control panel and played around with the settings several times with no improvement.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem, clicking with the track pad became unbearably bad, it wasn't sensitive at all.
    I found that if you take off the bottom and remove the battery on the track pad there is a screw, its a triangle shape.
    Tightening that screw raised the trackpad (slightly, don't over do it) and by tightening that screw the trackpad's clicking came back to normal.
    Free fix, worth a shot. Don't strip the screw though...

  • Flex 2-14 keyboard sensitivity when clicking on the edge of button

    Hi
    I own a new FLEX 2-14 Ultrabook.
    I have a problem with some keys on the keyboad.
    When I typing fast, I sometimes clicking on the edge of the letter button on the keyboard.
    For most button there's no problems at all, but for very few buttons, such as 'T' letter, the keyboard is not always getting the click (probably not sensitive enough). as a results, I get words with missing letters.
    I send this to the service, they checked and said that all the FLEX 2-14 in the world are like this, and there's nothing they can do.
    I search the net, and I did not find any complains or any similar problems.
    From my experience (as a computer guy), This is a totally hardware issue.
    and I ask, Do you also have this problem,
    when gently clicking the 'T' button on the corners will randomly not catch the clicks about 40% of the time ?
    Thanks
    Oren

    Hi Oren,  I also have had this problem, and this IS a design error which makes only the lower half of the key usable. Another thing is that I come from a Keyboard with the square keys, and I am used to hitting the key anywhere will produce a letter on the screen. The Lenovo Flex 2 14 is using chiclets /island based keys and by design very different.As a result I had to practice with this new keyboard, and after a few days (3-5) I wasn't making as much typing mistakes as when I first bought it. And now I barely miss a letter. (Also I challenged myself to "Typing of the Dead" game which helped enormously ) I would not say that this keyboard is unsuable, but rather something that you have to be determined to use. Because all in all the Lenovo Flex 2 14 is a pretty cool computer with most of the stuff anyone would need and a good price too.  FLEX 3 Coming soon!

  • Over sensitive double clicking (I think!)

    Sorry guys, this isn't exactly AE but I though you might know what's going on.
    This is a recent thing after we changed the user on the PC that we're running CS5 on.
    Often when I click on say, a PreComp layer in a Comp it will bring that PreComp's timeline up rather than simply select it.
    Also there are other cases like when I'm selecting characters in text it seems overly eager to select the whole word rather than a group of characters.
    It's very frustrating, I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't feel right, I have to keep corrected my selections.
    I thought it was just over sensitive, then I thought it was that the double click was too sensitive.
    This is with a Wacom tablet. There are many parameters to tweak like:
    Tilt sensitivity
    Tip feel
    Double click distance
    Sensitivity
    Click threashold
    Obviously I have tried messing around with these, but when you're being deliberate about testing the pen all is well. It's just when I relax and start to work faster it starts happening.
    Has anyone had this and found suitable settings?
    Cheers

    My phone is still under warranty so I sent it back for repairs. It seems to be a hardware issue.

  • Lost sensitivity on click wheel

    Hi:
    I have a 20GB 4th Gen. iPod. I recently lost touch-sensitivity in the click wheel of my iPod. The buttons still work, but I cannot scroll through the iPod menus or adjust the volume. I am also unable to reset the iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons. I have reset the iPod using the iPod Software Updater, but that did not alleviate the problem. Most importantly, my iPod is no longer under warranty, so if anyone could offer any possible solutions, I would truly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    This has happened to my iPod Quite a few times.
    All i do to resolve this is get a damp dish cloth and just clean the dam thing. Dry it off. And then it should be OK

  • Having trouble with the touch pad responding when I click it on the macbook pro I have to click it about 3 to 4 times before it works

    has anyone had trouble with the touch pad on the macbook pro not working properly. I have to click it 3 or 4 times befre it responds. Can these be replaced?

    Your MacBook Pro has enough compute power to do airframe stress analysis modeling or weather forecasting. This is not a computational issue.
    Most USB printers do the imaging on the Mac, then send the stream of bits to the printer. The speed of doing this depends on the Printer driver.
    Some drivers will image the page in "slices", and then pause to image the next slice after the first one completes. This may also depend on whether you have enough RAM memory available to do the imaging for a whole page at a time.
    You have not mentioned what Printer, or whether this is indeed the latest driver for it.
