Specific problem with trackpad

I have this specific problem with my trackpad, it doesnt work this 2 functions:  Swipe between pages and scroll direction: natural.
all other functions are working.
i don't know what to do .

Hello, Gonzalo andres. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I had an issue with this after upgrading to OS X 10.9.  I would verify that the gestures have been configured in System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom/More Gestures.

  • I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

    I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

    My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
    I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
    This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

  • Specific problems with SB Live! 24-bit (SB04

    <SPAN>Hello all,
    <SPAN>I just recently purchased a Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit card for my PC. The installation process went without a hitch - I disabled the onboard sound and uninstalled its drivers, then proceeded to install the new card and its drivers off of the included CD. Generally, the card seems to be working fine, but there are a few nagging problems with certain games.
    <B><SPAN>Far Cry</B><SPAN> - Referencing two related posts I've seen on other forums (but not my own), the problem is as follows:

    <SPAN>I have the exact same problem.<SPAN> Upon entering and exiting the water (only with EAX enabled, though) the sound screeches horribly for a few seconds, and then stops entirely.<SPAN> I?m not sure what?s causing it, but it only seems to occur while swimming, then coming up for air, and only with EAX enabled.
    <B><SPAN>UT2004</B><SPAN> ? Unreal Tournament 2004 also has errors when using hardware-accelerated and/or EAX enhanced sound.<SPAN> It?s most noticeable when firing a weapon rapidly.<SPAN> It?s a bit hard to describe, really.<SPAN> Instead of the sound being a continuous chain of assault rifle bursts, the sound created by firing the first bullet is canceled out by the successi've one.

    Well here it is, I have a audigy LS sound card and for a bit now I have been taking my cpu apart to find out what is causing my memory dumps and restarts in a game called city of heros. I went through alot of testing to find out that its not my graphics card hard dri've or memory stix causing the problem, what I did find was that when i get the blue screen of death it shows the cause being p7.sys driver which is a driver to the sound card. And when I turn off hardware sound acceleration in my direct x my restarts stop and no more memory dumps, when I turn the acceleration off it switches off the p7 to one that seems to work better. But the problem is now im in emulated mode and sound isnt all great. I bought the sound card to get better quality than the last card I had but it seems im having more trouble with the card than its worth. I'd appreciate any help with this problem as soon as possible, I have reinstalled drivers several times and tried changing pci ports checking for conflicts but all is good except It does that memory dump in the game. Im considering returning it if i can't resolve this soon thx for any help that may come.

  • Specific Problem with Library Module 1:1 Preview Loading

    Hi everyone.  I've spent hours searching Google & forums for specific tips to try but I've found nothing that solved my problem.  I have a very specific problem loading 1:1 previews in Lightroom 3.3 while zoomed to 1:1.
    When I initially import a shoot (usually 3000 to 6000 images), I always render 1:1 previews during import.  My understanding is that this activity writes full-sized previews to the "Previews" folder, but I also have observed that .DAT files are created in the "Camera Raw Cache" folder.  I have my Lightroom Previews folder and my Adobe Camera Raw Cache folder on the **same** solid-state hard disk, which is dedicated to Lightroom.
    When I browse these newly-imported images in the Library module in Loupe view at 1:1 zoom, it's very zippy and fast to switch between images.  The images load without any message at a lower resolution, and then "snap" to full resolution after 0.25 to 0.5 seconds. No "Loading" message appears.
    However, once the previews have "sat around for a while", even if they are still supposedly available in the Previews folder, loading the image at 1:1 in Loupe as described takes 3-5 seconds.  Shortly after going to an image, the message "Loading..." is displayed (it doesn't say where from), and 3-5 seconds later, the full res image appears.
    This has nothing to do with changes to image settings requiring re-rendering of the preview.  These are images that I've imported but haven't browsed in a while.  I know that the previews are valid, because I can go to "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews", and the task will complete within 20 or 30 seconds without re-rendering any photos after examining them and apparently finding that there are still valid 1:1 previews for all 4000 of them.  After doing this "re-render," the slow loading behavior is the same as before, because the re-render process always completes without actually updating the previews that it found are already there and presumably decided were still valid.  Discarding previews by "Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 Previews" and then trying to re-render them also does nothing, because LR3 apparently doesn't immediately delete the discarded previews, so they are picked back up again As-Is by the re-rendering process.
    If I had to guess at the reason for this behavior based on the symptoms, I would say that it seems like Lightroom is forcing itself to re-render 1:1 previews upon browsing to images that are older than a certain age (very possibly the same "30 days" after which the 1:1 previews are supposed to be discarded).
    Now, I've also observed that deleting the DAT files in the Camera Raw Cache folder has no adverse impact on load speed (which is what I would have expected to see if LR3 was looking for and loading images from this cache instead of the Previews folder).
    What this means to me is that once the image previews reach this "outdated" state, I can't get fast 1:1 browsing performance in Loupe with any reliable procedure other than manually deleting [in Windows Explorer] the entire Preview folder and then re-rendering the 1:1 previews for this shoot.  This is of course terribly inconvenient when there are recent previews that I want to save.
    Note:  I do not have any slowness under any circumstance when browsing at "Zoom to Fit".  This is only a problem when I'm browsing at 1:1 zoom (like when I'm comparing sharpness between a set of photos).
    Note:  For images with the slow behavior described, once the image has been loaded once at 1:1 zoom, it's henceforth snappy again when returning to the image (as if Lightroom was once again accepting the Preview file as valid).
    So, here's a summary:
    Previews (X:\Lightroom Catalog Previews\) and Camera Raw Cache (X:\Lightroom Cache\) are on same, dedicated, fast drive
    1:1 previews from recently-imported files load full-res at 1:1 zoom in less than 1/2 second.
    Older 1:1 previews take 3-5 seconds to load full-res at 1:1 zoom, even though the previews are supposedly being loaded from still-valid 1:1 previews in the Previews folder.
    I'm really tired, so i hope this makes sense.  I don't see how this could be a hardware problem, because I get good performance with recently-imported images.  I'm running LR3.3 on Win 7 Pro x64 with 8 GB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core2 Quad CPU.  Never had LR3 beta installed - upgraded to 3.0 from the last 2.X version.  After upgrading, in response to this exact issue, I deleted my entire previews folder and rebuilt, but I continue to have the exact same problem on every shoot that I import.  It's most noticeable on the large shoots, because I end up having to browse at 1:1 zoom to compare a set of similar images.
    Only workaround I've found:  in Windows Explorer, manually delete the Previews folder.  Return to Lightroom and rebuild 1:1 previews.  This forces the previews to be rebuilt for all images.
    Another possible workaround I am going to experiment with: setting the Previews to "Do Not Discard", in case the defualt "Discard after 30 days" that I've used is causing or contributing to the problem.  If Lightroom is actually discarding the images after 30 days but forgetting that it had discarded them when asked to re-render 1:1's, maybe setting to "Do not discard" will bandage that problem by never discarding them to begin with.
    All right, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard.  I'm afraid to add more details as they may become incoherent.  Hope to hear some good news, as fixing this problem would make my LR3 experience so much more pleasant.
    Can anyone assist with this problem?

    The behaviour after previews have been around for a while (i.e. previews for unedited images) is not normal. There have been a few other reports of similar behaviour, but no real clues as to why it happens.
    Yes - this is my problem.  Previews should still be valid, and "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews" says the images are still valid, but then Loupe rebuilds them anyways.

    Ian Lyons wrote:
    If everything was working correctly, the setting for discard shouldn't have any effect on whether the previews go stale or not. ...
    My understanding is that if everything were working as intended, the "setting for discard" that I was referring to (Edit > Catalog Settings > File Handling > "Automatically Discard 1:1 Previews") should be the sole determinant of whether 1:1 previews must be rebuilt for images with unmodified settings.
    For example, if I import an image and render a 1:1 preview, and if I set the "Auto Discard 1:1" setting to "30 Days", and if I make no changes to the image's settings, then I would expect that the image should render quickly (under 1/2 second) at 1:1 zoom in Loupe view for the next 30 days.  On the 31st day, I would expect the image to take longer to load as a new 1:1 preview was rendered and stored, and then I would expect this new preview to be retained for another 30 days.
    I would furthermore expect that the 30-day counter would be reset every time the image was re-rendered (i.e. if I go into Develop and change something).
    To a certain extent, this is functioning correctly on my system.  When I go to one of these "problem images" that inexplicably load slowly, returning to them subsequently is quick.  I think my problem is just, as Rob suggested, that some part of Lightroom's "brain" has wacky ideas about whether an up-to-date 1:1 preview exists or not.
    If I choose to "Never" automatically discard 1:1 previews (which is what I just switched to), then I should "Never" see unmodified images taking 3-5 seconds to "Load" at 1:1 zoom in Loupe.
    Since I just nuked my Previews folder again last night and re-rendered 1:1's overnight for a 3000 image shoot, it might be a while before I start encountering this bug again.  I will certainly post any further related experiences here and will keep checking for anyone who has further insight.

    Thanks for pointing this out.  I will upgrade to 3.4RC - at least then I will be able to force a rebuild of previews from one shoot without having to manually delete the previews for my entire catalog.  I'll no longer have to throw out all the food in the refrigerator just because something smells funny.

    The DAT files are created at the same time as Library previews. However, they are only used in Develop module.
    Yes, I definitely agree with this (although, the Cache is probably also used while rendering new previews after "Quick Develop" changes in the Library module....).  I posted my observations to this effect just in case someone else wondered the same thing I did.  It is clear that the DAT files get written every time a preview is rendered for RAW file.  Rob, now that I'm thinking with a clearer mind, I think the only thing these Cached files are used for is if you "return" to recently rendered settings in Develop or Quick Develop - then, that particular combination of settings yields a match in the cache, and LR loads the image from the Cache into Previews and onto the screen.  It is logical that the cache wouldn't help us when going to new settings, because the new settings would create a partially or completely different rendering than any other combination of settings.  Adobe may be going to more advanced levels of "reusability" than this, but I'm sure this is the general state of things.
    You may want to open back up write access to that Cache folder...
    Thanks, Rob & Ian!
    So, my question, or bug report, still remains for now - why am I biting into a bag of chips marked "Fresh" and finding them Stale?  And why does it say "Paper Jam" when there is no paper jam?

  • Problems with trackpad

    problems with trackpad

    Another possibility is that your trackpad is behaving erratically because of battery expansion. If you have one of the MacBooks with an easily removeable battery you can test for this by shutting down, removing the battery, connecting to your AC power adapter and starting up the MacBook. Test the trackpad.
    Examine your battery for signs of expansion. If this is the case, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

  • Hardware Problem with Trackpad?

    Hey Everyone,
    I've had my MacBook Pro a little less than a year without any problems. While I was using the computer today, I can no longer physically click using my trackpad. All the other trackpad functions work. I can use the dragging option, but for resizing windows and other things, I would prefer to use the physical click. I've had no indication prior to this that there was a problem with the trackpad, and I have already tried restarting the computer a few times. Has anyone else had this problem or know of any solutions?
    Thanks for all of your help!

    I work as a repair tech, and just recently had a system come across my desk with identical symptoms. Replaced the trackpad and it worked great. If it's still in the initial warranty period, take it in to get that replaced.

  • Specific problem with buttons and states

    Hello,
    I first apologize for using Google Translate :-(
    I have a problem with InDesign not solve. It is for a digital publication.
    My goal is:
    A 'gallery' button is pressed and the ball image appears with three buttons: "Previous image", "Next image" and "close gallery".
    I do not want the gallery to be visible, or buttons that control, until the button is pressed "gallery", so I think all buttons except "gallery" with the "hidden until activated" option selected.
    I want the gallery, and buttons that control it, disappears when I press the button "close gallery".
    What I call "Gallery" is an image that fills the screen.
    After placing the image on your site have become the property button "Hidden until activated."
    Then convert this button in order to several states (what I will call "button states") and by the successive states with the images I want to show in the gallery.
    I think the interactions of the buttons.
    When button "gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
    - "Go to state"
    - Hide "gallery"
    - Show "close gallery"
    - Show "previous picture"
    - Show "next image"
    - Show "button states."
    The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
    When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
    - Show "gallery"
    - Hide "close gallery"
    - Hide "previous picture"
    - Hide "next image"
    - Show "button states."
    The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
    When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
    - Show "gallery"
    - Hide "close gallery"
    - Hide "previous picture"
    - Hide "next image"
    - Hide "button states."
    I put it up and working properly until I press "close gallery". Then I hide the buttons "close gallery", "previous image" and "next picture" but it keeps me visible "button states" showing the last image that was shown.
    Do not know how to fix this and I'm going crazy!
    Please can anyone help me?
    The solution may be another approach but without using "Folio Overlays".
    Thank you very much.

    I've moved your post to the DPS forum.
    I'm afraid the way you're doing this is not going to work with DPS.
    This should all be done with a multi state object. The first state would contain nothing but a button to go to the first state. After that set up each state with the proper buttons. Without seeing the file it's a bit difficult for me to envision exactly what you want to do.

  • Problem with trackpad and keyboard on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro Early '09 (I got it about 1 month ago used) and yesterday a problem occurred. Suddenly, as I was typing a message, the keyboard stopped responding and the trackpad started acting up. Whenever I tapped with 1 finger, it would mark the text or would show the right-click options ("Copy, Cut, Paste" etc on text or "New Folder" etc on desktop).
    I restarted it thinking that it would probably solve the problem, but then I couldn't even log in, because not all keys were working, so I couldn't enter the password. Pressing "O" seemed to work -not always though-, but other keys didn't. I logged in as guest user, since no password is required for that, and tried typing a URL on Google Chrome, just to see what happens. there I noticed that sometimes the F letter key would work as right arrow and A as left.
    I should finally note that certain applications would not open lately (for the past weeks) and would "quit unexpectedly" (HDRtist and Inkscape, to be specific). 
    So, maybe it needs a Disk Utility Repair? Is it possible that this would solve both problems? But how do i do that if I can't log in as admin?
    It would be better to find a way to solve this on my own without having to pay for the repair.
    Any ideas?
    I know it's a common problem and that it's been posted many times, but most answers on other discussions have confused me so far.
    I've read about the tape under the battery thing, but I'd prefer a different solution if anyone can offer one.
    Thank you in advance. I appreciate it.

    I have read of people saying Resetting SMC fixes stuck touchpad drag problems. In order to do this you must typically remove the battery.  I think it was the act of battery removal that fixed it and not the act of clearing SMC memory.
    If your Macbook battery is removable and is located directly under your touchpad a bloated swollen battery could be the problem. 
    Try this:
    Remove battery
    Connect to magsafe power and boot up. 
    Try using your touchpad
    If this fixes the problem you likely have a swollen or bloated lithium battery.  My symptoms on my 15" late 2008 Macbook Pro were that the touchpad acted like it was stuck in drag mode.  The bottom left and right touchpad switches would not click or took great effort to press. I had to hit the touchpad very hard for a mouse click to be recognized.  It also screwed up opration of my bluetooth mouse. I noticed several months earlier the battery cover no longer closed tightly; there was a gap.   I should have been more curious as to why.

    "Battery bloat or “swollen batteries” is a common occurrence among older lithium ion batteries. It is commonly caused by overcharging a battery and then leaving it unused for a long time. It may also be caused by extreme changes in temperature. More often than not, battery bloat essentially “kills” the battery, rendering it unusable or unsafe for further use."

  • IMac as an external display, problem with trackpad/mouse pairing

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the imac as an external display for a macbook air, which is well supported/advertised by apple.
    I can toggle the display easily between the imac and the macookair, the problem I’m having is that I only have one wireless keyboard and one wireless trackpad. As I toggle the display, the paring/unpairing of both trackpad and mouse is a real hastle becuase I have to manually go into bluetooth preferences and adjust the settings for both devices.
    Anyone using the imac as external display with an idea/suggestion how to make this process more friendly?
    Thank in advance for any help.

    I don't think you can.  Wish I had better news.  Target display mode for non-thunderbolt 27" Imacs worked OK.  I have done it myself on a late 2009 iMac.  The new iMacs can only go into target display mode when connected thunderbolt to thunderbolt.  So a new macbook or macbook air can do the trick but your dell can't.  What you can do is remote desktop or VNC to the dell.  Now your dell screen will show up but in a smaller window.

  • Really specific problem with CS2

    I have a user who has Adobe CS2.  She uses Photoshop for most of her work.  She has a strange problem and I'm hoping someone here has encountered it before.  She creates her graphics using Photoshop, then imports them into Microsoft Word documents to print.  Frequently, she uses the Adobe PDF print driver to create PDF files.
    Here's the problem: after awhile of printing PDFs using the driver, she loses her ability to print.  The error tells her that no printer driver is installed.  It makes no difference which printer we use (her local Canon printer, our network printer or the PDF printer).  Once this happens, she also loses the ability to print from Photoshop.  She gets the same error.
    Here's the complication... she IS able to print from Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Illustrator, and various other programs.  She can also print from the Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The only two programs that lose the ability to print are Photoshop and Word.  Nothing I've tried works.  Once she reboots her computer, all is well for awhile.
    Here are the specifications of her computer:
    CPU: Intel Core2Quad at 2.66GHz
    Memory: 8Gb
    Hard Drive: 250Gb
    Video: PCIe 2Gb nVidia
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64 SP2
    Suite version: CS2
    Can anyone offer any help, please?!?!?!  I'm desperate here.
    Thanks, in advance.

    I could be confusing printing drivers here, and if so, please forgive me.
    It seems that there is a print "spooler" sub-application with the Adobe PDF printer driver. It's a helper app. I wonder if its buffer is being filled, and not emptying. If this is the case, you should be able to observe it loading and noting the memory, both physical and virtual, that it is using. Might need to start the PDF print function from Word, quickly note the load size, observe it under load and note, and then see if it goes back to the initial load state.
    I had a similar issue with a very old PS driver for my Epson Stylus-Pro XL. I could print a couple of large format prints, and then it would fill up the spooler and just choke until re-boot. In my case, the 3rd party supplier had a newer driver with a better spooler. You could do a reinstall of the Adobe Printer driver, in hopes that it fixed any issue.
    Good luck, and I wish that I could recall more of the details of my situation, though there were enough differences, that I may be well off base.

  • Problem with trackpad after upgrading to osx 10.4.10

    after i upgraded to the latest version of osx my trackpad started to malfunction.
    the trackpad tab is not shown in the mouse and keyboard settings and it gives a message trackpad tab is hidden because, trackpad is not installed in this computer.. m not able to scroll and use right click.
    please help!!!

    OK, I used WhatSize to free up my hard drive considerably.
    I know have 30 GB available out of 56 GB.
    Unfortunately the same signs and symptoms are appearing.
    The project loads quickly. I can the drag the playhead with ease through out the project and play any individual clip without any issue. But again, playing it in full results in slow, distorted audio as if its 5 seconds behind and in extreme slow motion.
    Would copying the project back to my main hard drive and trying to work out of it there provide any results?

  • Problem with trackpad - clicking by touch

    Since upgraded to ML, trackpad clicks by touch every time I rest my fingers on it for more than 2 or 3 seconds. With Lion, I need to PRESS and physical click the trackpad. This is very very irritating since I need to move the fingers away from the trackpad all the time.
    Is this a normal behavior? Can I disable it?

    That's the point. Tap to click is disable. The difference is if I tap nothing happens, but If I leave the fingers touching the trackpad for more than 3 seconds aprox the click action is executed.

    If this fixes the problem you likely have a swollen or bloated lithium battery which can be dangerous.  My symptoms on my 15" late 2008 Macbook Pro were that the touchpad acted like it was stuck in drag mode.  The bottom left and right touchpad switches would not click or took great effort to press. I had to hit the touchpad very hard for a mouse click to be recognized.  It also screwed up opration of my bluetooth mouse. I noticed several months earlier the battery cover no longer closed tightly; there was a gap.   I should have been more curious as to why.

    "Battery bloat or “swollen batteries” is a common occurrence among older lithium ion batteries. It is commonly caused by overcharging a battery and then leaving it unused for a long time. It may also be caused by extreme changes in temperature. More often than not, battery bloat essentially “kills” the battery, rendering it unusable or unsafe for further use."
