Problems with track pad and osx installation disc on macbok.

Okay so I am having two separate problems with my macbook.
First, the track pad, or the button beneath it, is pretty much completely out of commission. When I try and use it, the computer acts as if I am holding down the button all the time. Example, when I drag it across the desktop, the "click-and-drag" square starts appearing next to the cursor or when move the cursor on an icon, it tries to click and drag that. The only way that I can fix it thus far is to hook up my wireless mouse. Hoping someone else has a better solution so that I can continue to use the notebook on the go without having to bring the mouse. Note: the button does not appear to be depressed in anyway.
Second problem is happening when I attempt to reboot the computer with the OS X Leopard disk in for a re-installation. When the gray start-up screen appears, before the gray apple comes on the middle of the screen, a folder icon with a question mark on it appears for a split second and then turns into the normal apple icon after which my OSX disk is spit out of the drive and the computer boots straight to the desktop. I have attempted holding down the control button, the option button, and starting the process while the computer is still turned on and then just restarting it, the disc is ejected upon restart every time. I have reinstalled the OS with this disk once before and it has worked fine and other disks seem to be working fine in the drive, so I am at a lost here.
I know that was a lot of info but if anyone out there can help me out with either one of these problems it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

exactly the same issu with the track pad here.
I v tried to use it without the battery but the problem persist.
If I use an USB mouse i can move it arnd but wen I click or double click nothing happen...so is useless.Same problem with the Blur Tooth wireless mouse.
The issue appear several months ago...after a couple of weeks went away, and now is back again. I try the routine manteinance but nothing solved the issue.
Any suggestion? I have some urgent work to do ...I will try tomorrow to bring it in an apple store but I can't leave it with them ..
Thanx in advance

Problem with track pad and keyboard

Mac Air was working fine when suddenly the track pad started behaving like I was highlighting things when moving across the screen and trying to fill in boxes etc also an intermittent delay when typing. Don't know what could have caused this - I haven't changed any settings and wouldn't have thought it was a virus. Any suggestions as to how to fix?

Take it back to the place that installed the battery and ask them to check their installation.

1 1/2 days old and already a problem with track pad on bb 8530

Took a big step on saturday and bought cell phones for my girlfriend and I, neither of us had a cell phone and both of us needed one for work. being that we wanted phones with e-mail and loads of other gadgets the 8530 sounded like a winner. I once had a bb pearl, ran over it with a tractor and i could indeed still place calls. Although it couldnt do much else. This experience and my experience with the pearl before this experience sold me on the phone once again. After 1 1/2 days after activation the track pad selecter switch on her phone will not work. We were already levid to find that there is no skype app on a blackberry to which we were told there was by our vendor (sprint) and now this has happened. A company i had so much admoration for there quality of software and hardware is letting me down. I was quoted as saying "its a blackberry ya dont need insurance" So now i ask my self who is dictating the prices for the pos transister radios because i dont understand where 4 houndred some odd dollars cant buy some quality control. This is my gripe and my question is what can someone do about this because problem. I thought I had bought the best ya could buy.
thanks ron.

Since your BlackBerry is only a few days old, I would reccomend to speak with you point of sale and see what they might be able to do for the trackpad issue.
As for Skype on the BlackBerry, there is no applications that Research in Motion makes specifically for the BlackBerry. You can take a look in BlackBerry App World and see if there is an application that will work for you.
Hope this helps.

Zen Touch: problem with touch pad and formatt

Hi guys!
I have a Zen Touch 20gb but I'm experiencing big problems with my touch pad: it really doesn't work fine, precision is almost none, to poit the desired voice in any menu I have to work hard. If the menu is longer it is almost impossible to navigate it with precision. I can't move of a single position, it jumps at least two... Is it a common problem or should I take it to be checked up?
2nd problem:
I was trying to format the player's HD. Instructions said press play botton and contemporarly reset hole.
But nothing happens. When I release the system reboots.
Any idea?
Thanx!
Gp

Please be patient with the touch pad. Reading these boards, I think a lot of people are not really understanding how the touch pad works and assuming it's defecti've and returning the Touch. First, set the sensitivity to where it's best for you. If you can't move only one line at a time, you may have it set too sensiti've. Second, use your index finger, not your thumb. Then, practice moving around. For me, it was really easy to move rapidly through the choices or to move just one line at a time. But moving at medium speed always tripped me up, until I figured out the technique of repeatedly stroking the touch pad through the slow zone to move several lines at a time, just like you were using a scroll wheel.

Problems with DVD-R and CD-R discs

My iMac is almost 3 years old. i have burn several CDs and DVDs since I bought it. Lately I having problems reading and writing DVD-R and CD-R discs.
When you insert a new blank disc it makes a lot of sounds. With a little bit of luck it wont eject it and you would be able to drag files to it and burn it. At te beginning of the burning proces, it makes a lot of sound and many times a message will apear saying that it can calibrate de laser lens or wont recognize the media.
When you insert a burned CD-R or DVD-R it makes a lot of sound and many thing could happend, like work fine, it could be be immediately ejected, a blank disk message appears asking what to do, etc. lately it is more difficult to read my backups.
Industrially burned discs like movies DVDs, audio CDs and Software discs works fine most of the time.
Also when using Parallels I can read my CD-R without much problem. This makes me think that it could be a Software issue.
Any suggestions? Do you think my SuperDrive is dead? How much could it cost to fix this?

Problem with track times and importing

Importing CDs onto my iTunes is usually OK, but on one CD a couple of tracks transfer to iTunes with incorrect playing time. Track 7 which is 2:54 shows on iTunes as 37:09; track 8 which is 3:25 shows on iTunes as 789:57:13 and will not play after being imported. Both play OK from CD.

Nokia 500 Problem with Tracking mode and touch sc...

Hi,
I just bought Nokia 500 and I am having lot of problem
1. When I use navigator..it should be in tracking mode not in browing mode so I can see where i am going on where is the turn. But as soon as it calculate the route, withing few second it automatically comes in browsing mode. Even if I press back arrow on left bottom corner it again shows browsing mode. However, sometime it's working fine and always display tracking mode. I am not sure how to switch between the mode. As per manual, I need to hit the back arrow left bottom corner but that does not work for me.
2. The second problem is really bad. The touchscreen response is slow. It looks like the processor is slow. Particularly if I go to Setup menu..it automatically goes to system. I just touch Setup on main menu and sometimes it automatically goes into system. If I manually go to system..it automatically goes to About ..menu. It just behaves randomly..I have done screen calibration many times. but still issue is there. Also, when I got to keyboard to enter address..it automatially press Q key. Not sure what's wrong here
Anybody please suggest me what's wrong. Do I need to replace it with nokia?

Hi
Night mode is designed to work without flash. So either use flash or night mode, but not both.

Kindly help with pointers

Connection problems with idea pad and public network

Moderator note; e-mail address removed to stop the spambots getting it

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Problem with Data Model and Analysis View

I create an analyze in BI Publisher and then i create a data model using this object.
When i try to generate an XML with a number of rows the BI Publisher return an empty XML (Only with de DATA_DS tags but no data).   To bypass this problem i make and XML file by hand and this allow me to create reports and design it but when i try to view the reports i got the message that says "No Data Found".
So i was check the analysis and all looks appears to be fine, In the results tab it show me a complete table with the data i was looking to use.
So i try to repeat the error and when i try to create the XML for the Data Model i found this two error in the logs:

As i understand there is has a reference to a null value but i cant find what column of the analysis has the problem.
Any ideas about how to solve or debug this?
Thanks

I follow your instructions and it works fine. I can create the XML and the reports can show data.
So, i already know that there is no problem with the data and with the BI Publisher installation but i still doesn know what is the problem with the analysis view that fails.
Any idea how to debug it?
Thanks.

Where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?

where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?
have to see if theres a problem with the display magnet because when i close the lid, the sleep function does not work.
am using a fridge magnet to move around the track pad to see if this will activate sleep mode. im begining to wonder if its worth just going with out the auto sleep mode and maybe try n get some money of what i paid for it (it was a refurb machine)

as a guess, around the middle of trackpad, maybe half an inch moving from the lead edge towards the screen
also, give it a few seconds to activate in any one spot - it's not instant
