T410s clicks and taps not registering

Ever so often mouse clicks start being ignored. Instead of registering the click the active window appears to loose focus. Sometimes I'll still be able to use the trackpad buttons or tap the touchscreen. Other times none of these will work. Sometimes switching windows (Alt+Tab) or right-clicking appears to fix the problem, or it fixes itself after a while. Other times I'm stuck using the keyboard until I reboot.
This is a problem that started just a few days ago. Can't correlate it with a specific update. I reverted the UltraNav driver (for Windows 64-bit) from 15.0.24.0 to 15.0.18.0, but that didn't help. I also don't see the SynTPEnh.exe process hanging or using CPU as other people have reported recently.
Anyone else experienced something similar or have any suggestions?

Two things:
From testing, I've notice that some time the mouse click events did not fire, especially in fast rate clicks (say, in games like bejeweled).
Switching from "mouse click" to "mouse down" events seems to work better.
You can always separate the graphics from the "hit" area of the button. you can:
a. use an almost transparent movieclip (alpha of 1/100) that is placed above the graphics (and listen to its event, not the graphics).
b. use a simple button and place a large rectangle in the "hit" state of the button.
btw, using method 2b, you can have one graphic file for all the UI, as it's just a background for the real buttons.

Mouse/mousepad clicks and taps not always recognised.

I've noticed recently that I have an issue with both my magic mouse and my mouse pad, effecting both left and right clicks on the mouse and mousepad, and taps on the mousepad too. I've noticed the issue across many of the main applications I use, such as Mail, Adium, but is more apparent in Safari, or other browsers, where mouse clicking is used more.
The issue is that not all mouse/mousepad clicks and taps are recognised on the first click, even when the mouse icon changes with link rollovers etc. It is more apparent when changing between application windows or after opening a new window/tab/page in Safari. Closing/minimising windows is effected etc, as is selecting items on the Dock. In all cases when this happens, a second click/tap always works.
I'm guessing that it is a problem with Finder, maybe caused by another program or something. It's really annoying actually!
Any ideas?

The mouse has fresh batteries is fully connected to the computer and the cursor moves as normal.
But when I click (either right or left) the computer ignores me.
I can only assume that:
* mouse is somehow broken - although clicks feel okay, or
* computer is somehow broken and can't tell clicks are being made
So, what do I do?
Buy a new mouse for £50? Or adjust something in the computer? No idea which is best, and HP won't help as the computer is just over one year old.
Try moving the USB receiver closer.
You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from Device Manager, then the original driver then the updated driver from your Update page on the HP Website.
Also try running a virus scan using Malwarebytes if you can, Malwarebytes Home Page
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

Keyboard issue - my late 2010 MBP was working fine until SUDDENLY none of my letters would work - just numbers and a few other keys, and my trackpad would not left click, every click and tap was registered as a right click.

If I reboot, my mouse functions normally UNTIL I hit any of the keyboard keys, then it wont stop right clicking everytime I click.
Some of my keys are acting wierdly - I think 'I' does the TAB function, and J for example acts as the Enter/Return key.
I have opened the keyboard utility thing, and it recognises that I am pressing the keys, but nothing is being typed on my screen.
I have attempted to boot into safe mode, reset PRAM, run AHT but my Macbook simply doesnt want to know, just boots into OS X normally - this is with the built in keyboard and a USB External One.
Its worth noting also that with the USB keyboard, I can type fine - also, if I reboot, my clicks are fine until I hit a key on the inbuilt keyboard, then it starts its right clicking again, however, if I then press a key on the USB keyboard the trackpad is 'reset' and allows me to click normally again.
I have read various other threads but none really the same as mine which *****.

Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
ALSO if the computer turns on, the reset was done incorrectly

2011 MBP click and tap to click stops working at random

I've got a two weeks old MBP 13" it's working perfectly fine most of the time, but I've noticed that sometimes (could be related to waking from sleep) "left clicking" or tap to click with the trackpad stops working.
Everything else works, swiping, secondary clicking and what not.
One way to make the regular clicking work again is by rebooting the computer. Sometimes though, this isn't enough, it might even take two reboots.
Then there are some situations when I'm up late working, and the trackpad fails on me and I'll just close the lid and go to bed, the next morning it might work just fine again.
Has anyone had these same problems with the new MBP? Should I try and get it replaced since it's a brand new computer?

If you did not configure FindmyIPod on it, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Report the theft to the local authorities and change the passwords to any and all accounts you have may used/accessed or configured on the iPod Touch.

HT1212 ipod touch is disabled and locked and is not registering on itunes

ipod touch is disabled and locked and is not registering on itunes to enable and restore. I have no issues with losing whats been stored.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Clicks / Taps not registering well on some buttons.

I am having an issue with some of my buttons not registering clicks when running on the iPhone. They work fine in the AIR debugger.
Does transparency matter? The buttons are PNG files of the text "OK" and "CANCEL" with transparent backgrounds. I was thinking that maybe the iPhone wasn't registering clicks on the transparent areas therefore making the buttons harder to hit.
Any ideas?

Itunes 12 track names not found and user not registered for online use

I recently downloaded itunes 12, and now when I try to import a CD the track names or CD information is not found.... So when I click on options to Get Track Names....it tells me user is not registered for online use... I am running windows 7.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing - didn't work.
I have tried removing a file and then have it repaired... didn't work.
Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

You could try deleting the entire %appdata%/Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow folders in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Cartridge carriage just clicks and will not move cannot install cartridges for 1st time

I just purchased a remanufactured Photosmart 7510I followed the directions to the degree.when I got to the step to install the cartidges all it will do is click click..sounds like the teeth are jumping on the beltit stays to the right side and will not go to center to install cartriges. I referred to the HP video site and tried the reboot and power off.I looked for shipping tape or something that prevented the carriage from moving did not see anything even with a flashlight.I have removed and went thru the paperjam instructions on your videos. The packaging was really good and sound no signs of abuse or hard handling.I just got the printer and it has never had a ink cartdige installed yet. Can you suggest something I am missing.I have contacted the seller to notify them of the issues but have not heard back yet.

Click and copy not working in 5.1.4

10.7.3, Macbook Pro, 8 gigs ram.
After updating last night I now find that on most sites I am unable to click and copy text. Not all sites, it works on Wiki but for example on this page I am unable to copy "Communities" from the top of the page. Nor can I click and copy from this post as I compose. Does anyone have a solution? Is this just me or are others experiencing it as well?

False alarm I hope.
Restarted Safari and it now appears to be working correctly. Fingers crossed.
I have been running Activity Monitor in the background and it appears the memory issues have been solved. Safari Web Content is not using a progressivley increasing amount of memory.

Click and Drag not working with the trackpad....

Well, this is an unexpected problem.
Just this morning, it seems my computer is refusing to let me click and drag with the trackpad button. I can click and hold, but when I move my cursor, say in a menu, nothing is highlighted. For sliders for volume, clicking and dragging does nothing. I can't highlight text. It's getting very annoying. It won't work when I tell just the trackpad to click and drag as well (not using the button).
My hands have been a little "waxy" since I've been sick, but the mouse works perfectly otherwise, so I don't think that's the problem at all. Any suggestions? Please tell me my 'book isn't goin' bad. >>;;

That seemed to work! After shutting down and taking out the battery, I cleaned my keyboard and computer, too. Seems to work now Thanks!
Wonder why it did it...a glitch, prolly...

Acrobat will not start-up and mac osx and will not register

Acrobat is installed on my Mac Mini, but will not allow me to register with Adobe. Also, the same Acrobat 8 pro will not operate on my MacBook pro because it is not registered and does not recognize my serial# etc. How can I call someone at Adobe? This product is worthless to me, and I have tried everything.

Hold down the option key while starting your iMac
You should see a screen with some imagines of hard drives appear.
Press the eject key to eject the disk, then select your boot partition (likely named "Macintosh HD") and hit the return key.
If you still hear the three beeps, the computer may be unable to access its system memory. Preform the resets detailed in these articles:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Or try as den.thed suggested if you have recently installed memory into your computer.
If your boot partition does not appear when you hold down option and "Recovery HD" also doesn't appear, or if it does not allow you to eject the disk, you may be experiencing hardware issues. Try the above resets, and if they don't work, you will need to go to your closest AASP or Apple Retail store for service.
Good luck.
