Significant delay when using the "tap to click" trackpad function

(I accidently post this in the wrong forum -- for the old MBP -- so this is a repost)
Hello everyone! I bought a 2.4 Ghz unibody MBP like 3 weeks ago. I had an issue and they replaced the computer with a new one at the store. Today is the first day of using the new laptop. They switched out the ram upgrade and the hard drive.
The issue seems to be that when using the tap to click function on the trackpad, there is a relatively significant delay (at least for a click). With the regular mouse button the delay isn't there. Such as if I'm clicking on the finder or the file tab, there's a bit of a delay before they pop up, compared to instantaniously with the mouse button. When using the trackpad for regular types of tasks, there is a bit of a delay sometimes too. Such as I'll be moving the mouse across the screen and it will stop.
Please help me out. If I could solve it without going back to the Apple store that would be great. Thanks everyone in advance.

Update: I think the 1/2 second delay is too long of an estimate, but the delay is significant enough to make me notice something has to be wrong. My previous MBP had no delay.
When moving the mouse around, I'm not sure if it's a MBP issue, but occasionally the mouse seems to "get stuck" on the screen and I have to begin moving my finger again on the trackpad. This happened on the first MBP too.

Synaptics touchpad blocked & delay when using the keyboard in Windows 8.1

Sometimes (possibly when I use the keyboard and then quickly attempt to move the mouse arrow on the screen with the Synaptics touchpad), I am unable to move the cursor for a half of second-or-so.
Sometimes I cannot tap to click, maybe, few seconds (it is very annoying).
There are some Mouse and touchpad settings in Windows 8.1 ("To prevent the cursor from accidentally moving while you type, change the delay before clicks work") which I set to "No Delay (always on)" but it does not work, either.
I also checked the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad
but "AAPThreshold" is set correctly to 0 (No delay).
But I still experiences problems and touchpad does not work while typing and sometimes also few moments after.
Using HP Zbook 14, Win 8.1 x64, Synaptics driver 17.0.18.23.

Hi,
If you trying connect two Universal apps through Bluetooth, can you check if the
Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample runs fine on both the devices? I successfully tested the Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample on Laptop (Windows 8.1) and Windows Phone 8.1 (paired).
Make sure the service which you are trying to advertise/listen is supported by both the devices.

My Trackpad is not doing the single click am using the tap to click

i don't know what happen all of the sudden my comp trackpad click botton stopped working did i disable it?if i did i don't see any option to turn it on again.

Did you go to System Preferences > Trackpad? Check and see if you somehow disabled it. If "tap-to-click" is still checked off, try unchecking and re-checking it, without a re-start first time around. If that fails, then with a re-start between unchecking that box and re-checking that box.
If that fails, then you might need to take it in.

Tap to click trackpad function comes and goes?!

Tap to click and two finger tap for left click mysteriously come and go. When they go I can uncheck and recheck the appropriate box in system prefs and it works again. Sometimes it starts working again all by itself. Anybody else? Virus?

When useing Adobe Flash in for example youtube. The player will get more and more delays when using the player tools untill firefox freezes for about 10 sec.

After freezing the player's delay will be reset to 0. I can replicate this "crash" by just moving my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay building up. This only happens when firefox is my main window.

hello, there are some reports by users that comodo products might not work well with the protected mode for firefox that adobe has introduced in its flash plugin since version 11.3.

please make sure that firefox.exe, plugin-container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_*.exe aren't blocked or sandboxed in any way by your security software or in case this doesn't work either try switching your AV provider (I'd recommend microsoft's security essentials, it is quite reliable and lightweight) or [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash downgrade to flash version 10.3].

When using the "Save as PDF" button

When using the "Save as PDF" button/function on the "View Responses" page for a selected response will the resulting file be savable locally and printable on 8.5x11" paper?
Also its Help bubble says that is savable as a PDF form. Does it really mean as a PDF file? Because saving it as a form appears to be a different option according to one pricing structure.

When you use the Save as PDF a pdf file if the form is created and saved to your local machine. When you save as PDF you have the option of having the resulting pdf file have a submit button or not have the button. There is also a feature where you can export the form to a template format called FCDT.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

. How do I fix this? It never used to do that.@

Hi cj0094,
Please try changing the registry key HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\Annots\cAnnots\cfreetext_003_afreetexttypewriter and change the opacity back to 1. This should reset the color to black.
Note: Please backup the registry before modifying it.

When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

What is the purpose of the double click? If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

Delay when using BC partition in VMware Fusion

Hi everyone,
I've been wondering about this for months now and finally decided to ask for your experiences.
When using my Windows (XP Pro 32bit) Boot Camp partition as a VM in Fusion I always get a delay when the desktop appears and the taskbar items are loading. I can see that the VM Tools seem to be loading (taskbar icon) while this is happening. This usually takes at least 10-15 seconds on my MBP (C2D with 4 GB RAM) and it has been the same for the last few versions of OS X and Fusion.
Is this delay normal when using the BC partition? It definitely isn't there when booting a regular VM. If so, how long does it take for you?
Thanks!
Björn

Nope, KBDMGR.EXE is located in "Program Files" and autostarted via the RUN registry-entry. It's seemingly not even a real driver, but merely a bridging process that administers the drivers.
If you run bootcamped Windows without KBDMGR you cannot use the special function keys (brightness, loudness etc) and at least in Vista you have to do some manual settings every time you start Windows in order make tap-to-click usable without KBDMGR (a better and easier way is to start KBDMGR once and then stop it again if you don't want/need it).
Manually enabling tap-to-click and chosing the Boot-OS is possible without KBDMGR being loaded even once, you can just call the settings application from Windows/System32. The Readme coming with my Script explains how to find that and possibly use a keyboard- or icon-shortcut for that.
Theoretically it can be stopped/killed via Process-Manager and started manually by just calling the exe file. Practically that only works as long as the RUN entry in the registry remains intact and points to an existing file.
Along other things my script explains how to replace KBDMGR.EXE with a dummy file which in turn allows to start Windows without it and later loading it manually if needed (preferably via a keyboard- or icon-shortcut as described in the Readme of my script).
Personally I use Right-ALT+, for opening the Settings and Right-ALT+. for switching KBDMGR on/off (along with switching the F-Keys from Standard to Special functions alongways). Works like a charm.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
Any ideas????

I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"
