Replace mouse track pad

Mouse track pad is not working properly, clicking all the time and moving by itself

Did you spill a liquid on the trackpad or could a liquid somehow gotten under the trackpad? If so then you should let it dry for a day and if still doesn't work then go to your local Computer Doctor or GeekSquad at Best Buy. If you can't then you'll have to go to the Apple Store, but try to make it your last resort because if Apple decides not to do it for free, (which they might do it for free) then you may have to pay a few hundred dollars. You could even try repairing it yourself if it's still not working for whatever reason, but that is more complicated and risky. Hope this helps.

Why is my macbook air mouse/track pad unresponsive?

My macbook air track bar and mouse have become increasingly unresponsive. I finally bought a mouse. While visiting my sister and using her MacBook Air computer (mouse/trackpad), I realized I've got a serious problem. Any suggestions?

I passed one of my older Macbooks to my MIL. She has the same problem, and has resorted to an external mouse (which she prefers anyway). I am convinced that the issue is directly related to just how dirty, in general, I have observed the unit to be. The theory is that debris has infiltrated to the underside of the trackpad, thereby inhibiting movement for clicking.
The "tap to click" function seems to work just fine. I would ask if the setting in preferences has been set to "tap to click" on your trackpad, and whether "soft tapping" works or not for you?

Can iPhone be used as a remote mouse track pad?

I know the iPhone can be used as a remote control for Apple TV etc but I wondered if it could also be customised into a remote trackpad. I am about to buy a Mac Mini to use as a media server as I have lots of media that won't fit nicely into Front Row. As a result, I'll have to use a mouse and keyboard, which would be a pain. If the iPhone could be configured into a remote trackpad, that'd solve many a problem.

Dual usb with a sticky track pad

I have a 500mhz ibook g3 running 10.4.9 that has a track pad problem.The track pad arrow often sticks as if I was holding down the shift key, or it will randomly click on whatever it is over and open that item up.A quick tap will "reset" it for a little while, but the problem comes back quickly.I reset the PRAM numerous times to no avail.I have replaced the track pad and still no change.It doesn't do it with an external mouse.Would reinstalling Tiger help?
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
The PMU (Power Management Unit) controls trackpad function, so resetting it often helps when the trackpad isn't working (or isn't working right).

HP Pavilion dv7-1232nr keyboard and track pad no longer work

We purchased our lap top 1-11-09 and have had to already replace the battery in the summer of 2010 and then in October the entire system stopped responding, after determining it was not due to a virus, working with Norton/Comcast, I took the to a computer repair shop 11-29-10 and the technician said that the mouse/track pad and keyboard were not working and would need to be replaced as they no longer were responding, he said this was a common occurrence with HP laptops. He suggested I try to use a plug in mouse and keyboard so that I could use the computer temporarily until I contacted HP about this, I have plugged in a key board and mouse but the computer is still unresponsive. I am very upset about spending $600 plus 7.75% tax on a product less than 2 years ago that appears to be defective and I would like to hear from your consumer affairs department or from someone that handles issues such as this. I need my computer for work/school/ personal use and have had to borrow a computer for the time being as I can not afford a new one and think its ridiculous to have to pay for the parts an labor to replace the defective mouse/track pad and keyboard.

This is a user to user forum, its out of warranty, HP will do nothing for you unfortunately.
I suggest you back up your personal data to an external drive and use the HP recovery to completely reinstall the OS and drivers, see if this cures it.

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

See if any of these items apply:

Curve 8530 track pad

I have had my 8530 since February of this year and the track pad is peeling. I don't have long fingernails so I was wondering if anyone else had that problem? I called Verizon and was told this issue may not be under warranty and I might have to pay to have the track pad replaced. Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace the track pad or should I just bail and get the droid? I really like the purple color though....sigh

I have a 9650 through Verizon with the same problem. My phone was new in July. I called them and reported the problem yesterday. They are sending a refurbished phone as a warranty replacement of the original.

Mac Book Pro Track Pad Making Mac Unusable. Already been replaced once! (I need to write my law school paper, help me please!!!!)

I got my Mac Book Pro repaired in late July of this year. The repair summary says that they replaced the display claim shell, glossy (item number 620-5153). I believe this was due to a clouding on my screen. However, they also replaced the top case with keyboard (item number 605-2953) and the track pad (605-2712). When I took it in I was having problems with the track pad. It would not respond to touch. Wouldn't follow my figure movements, ect. The guy at the Apple Store took it in the back and opened it up. He said it looked like there may be water damage because there was gooey stuff by the battery, so in that case the warranty would be void. I told him that I was 100% certain that no water ever got on it and that if there is gooey stuff in side my macbook that there must be a battery leaking issue. He said that they would have to send it in and the people at the repair center would determine if it had been water damaged or not.
Well, they sent it in to the repair center in Florida (leaving me with out a computer for a week at summer school) and they made the before mentioned repairs. They never asked me questions or anything so I am assuming that meant they rightfully determined there was no water damage.
Aside from some wireless issues the Mac Book had been working okay until tonight. I was typing a paper and all of a sudden the track pad problem came back tonight. I tired to use the computer with the broken trackpad for about 45 minuets but then gave up because it was impossible to use. I shut off the computer and left it off for a good 3 hours before plugging it back in and turning it on. (I tried turning the computer off and then back on again when the problem first occurred and that did not help). I have noticed recently (like the past week) that sometimes it gets way louder then it used to and the last couple of it will randomly will turn off when it still has battery left. Also, ever since I got my mac book pro back from the repair center Microsoft Word crashes once every 2ish days, but I am unsure if that is related to the current issue.
As I am typing this the touch pad is getting touchy again :(. And as I type it is randomly switching lines so I think the touch pad is being extra sensitive now, Im not sure. Anyway does anyone have any advice? I am in my first year of law school and I NEED MY COMPUTER. It is not an option not to have one for a few days and if I absolutely have to give it to apple I will be forced to buy a cheap computer from Walmart to use in the mean time (Which I REALLY cannot afford).
I am assuming it is the battery pushing of the trackpad or something. Is this correct? I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow but since it is somewhat functioning right now I am unsure of if I should go or not. The store is 45 minuets away and I need it during class each day. But exams are in a month and I cant have it break during those.
I really do not see why Apple would not have replaced the battery when I first brought it in. I identified it as an issue; I am sure someone who works on these computers all day long could have seen it was an issue too. At least, if my assumption that that is the problem is correct. Would getting a mouse that plugs into the USB fix my problems? Or would Apple be willing to just give me a replacement computer since this is the second time this has happened in 2 months and their 1st repair didn’t help? Would Apple be able to fix it in the store or would they be forced to send it to me? Any idea how to fix this?????? Thanks so much! I truly appreciate any help you might have! I am really stressed about this!

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Apple Track Pad vs. Magic Mouse?

I have been using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard ever since getting my Intel iMac 24 back in late 2006. When I got it, I also continued to use my MS Wireless Lazer 5000 mouse as well. In mid year 2010 I got a macbook and also a Magic Mouse which I use exclusively with the laptop over using the on-board track pad.
Recently, I have a need to replace the lazer mouse due to mechanical problems and am wondering what sort of feedback has been coming in regarding the newer Wireless Track Pad and whether or not users still have use for the magic mouse and/or the track pad and vice versa. I'd buy another magic mouse for the iMac as the one I currently own is set up to be used on the road in my vehicle with the laptop. In replacing my lazer mouse I just would like to know the feedback regarding the newer track pad. Thank you in advance!

Thanks to everyone for their responses.
Unfortunately, my laser mouse died, and I replaced it with the TrackPad hoping to upgrade without the need for another mouse. Although I like most features of the trackpad, like for my MacBook, I find the need for a mouse to add to the onboard track pad.
Same thing applies for the iMac, the trackpad works for most applications, but I got a wireless mouse again. So I find that I use both.
Thanks again to everyone who responded!

Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
As Jobs sez; And more thing.
Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
God help us.

Hi, me again, more data.
I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

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.

Are there any provisions in place for overseas military not able to buy direct from Apple Store to get an option of a track pad instead of magic mouse when buying a new iMac? It seems that the new OS is going to NEED trackpad and magic mouse will moot

I AM A PASSIONATE APPLE USER. Please don't get me wrong. I love every Apple product we have. I am just a bit discouraged that as a person living and working overseas, I do not have the same opportunity to build my Mac to my specifications. I am bound to buying the products through the Exchange. I appreciate that they are carried but when I compare to the Store, I am discouraged that there are some FREE options offered to Stateside folks not offered to AAFES/Exchange consumers. I want a track pad instead of a mouse. It seems that is where Mac technology is headed. Lion will all but REQUIRE it for many of the new features coming! Apple should offer new purchasers the opportunity for a free upgrade to a track pad!
