T540p and Middle-Click not working

So, I just got my T540p 2 days ago, and while getting everything set up, I realize that a few things are off with the clickpad. For a while, most clicks were not being registered: left, right, or middle. It could take some furious clicking just to get one click registered. Next, no matter what settings I set, I could not get middle click to register as a middle-click - they were always taken as left clicks. And finally, I could not get right-click to register unless I set button size to either Large or Full. At standard, right-clicks were seen as left-clicks.
Here's the rub - I think I've narrowed it down to the driver. After submitting a warranty request yesterday, I started playing with it some more, and here is what I've found:
After a few full shutdowns and reboots, responses got better: Clicks were more reliably registered, and right-clicks worked, even on Standard button size in the settings. However, middle-clicks were still impossible. Any attempt at a middle-click was registered as a left-click. This was with the Lenovo driver installed.
After uninstalling the Lenovo driver, middle clicks started working. Unfortunately, mouse speed is painfully slow without the Lenovo driver installed, so this is not much of an option. I tried downloading a driver directly from Synaptics, and that did not seem to help the mouse speed - this driver doesn't seem to add the UltraNav tab to the mouse settings which allows me to increase the speed of the TrackPoint. However the Synaptics driver (which claims to be older than the Lenovo driver) did allow middle-clicks.
Next, I re-installed the Lenovo driver and after the first reboot clicks were back to being unreliable and middle-clicks vanished again. After a 2nd reboot, left and right- clicks became better, but still no middle clicks.
So, I've determined that it's not a hardware issue anymore, but a driver issue. I now have a box on the way to ship my laptop back - but since it's not a hardware problem, I don't see the need to send the laptop back.
Does anyone have any insight on what I should do? Send it back and let Lenovo attempt to change settings/etc. to get my middle-click working? Or patiently wait for a driver update that may or may not fix the middle-click?
I will say that I am very impressed at the speed of getting the 'warranty fix' box, so THANK YOU to Lenovo for an amazing response there. I'm just getting frustrated with the clickpad issues.

I have the exact same question, prior to UltraNav driver installation, you can simply Tap-to-click while using the Trackpoint. After installing the driver, you MUST click down on the Clickpad to send a click while using the Trackpoint. This is such a simple software solution that has seriously made me regret my decision to by a newer Thinkpad. The new xx50 series Clickpad is interchangeable with the xx40 series but I am not spending nearly 70$ to solve a simple software problem!
I recall that back in the days of the X200/X201 there were a decent amount of tips/tricks we could do via the registry to enable "hidden" features of the Synaptics touchpad/trackpoint combo. Is there a similar "hack" we could do to enable the tap-to-click functionality while using the Trackpoint?

L540 Middle click not working

Hello
today I received my L540 and I'm installing all the drivers at the moment.
After I installed the trackpad/point drivers I disabled the trackpad. But now I noticed that the middle mouse button isn't working.
How can I fix this issue?
Also is there an easy way to get all the drivers I'm missing at once? I don't have a CD.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Androlord,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm sorry to hear that middle mouse button of your Lenovo ThinkPad L540 is not working.
For the middle mouse button to work, you should enable the TrackPoint in Ultranav option.
Please download drivers from Lenovo Support page. To download the drivers, Please click on "Select Product", then in "QUICK PATH" enter L540 and select the exact model depending on the MTM number of your device. All the drivers compatible for your system would be listed.
Use Think Vantage system update which will auto detect the drivers required and will install it for you.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

T431s Middle click not working (open new tabs in browser)

Hi, I have a brand new t431s here, and I can not get the track point working as expected (and as on all previouse thinkpads since the i-series):
expected behaviour:
middle-click on link -> new tab
middle click&hold and trackpoint-> scrolling
I am not able to find the setting which enable this behaviour.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ctrl and left click not working in DW CS5

When Im working in design view for some reason my links are not working when I press ctrl and left click. To make them work I have to right click and select follow link.
Its not a major problem because I can still carry on, but its annoying!

I presume you're talking about Live View, because links don't work in Design view.
One thing you can try is selecting View > Live View Options > Follow Links Continuously, or select the option from the Live View Options menu in the Browser Navigation toolbar.
It works only for the current tab, but is useful if you're following a lot of links.

Track pad and button click not working

I have a Macbook pro from 2008, the 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4gigs ram. Recently my computer's track pad mouse stopped clicking and the tap to click function isnt working either. I can move the mouse with the trackpad and the scroll/zoom functions still work. Every once in a while the click will register, but the unclick will never happen, i.e. I will be highlighting everything on a page and wont be able to unhighlight unless i have the external mouse. When I scroll over the x - + of a window nothing shows up. I used a usb mouse and that worked fine, and shows the x - +. Anyone having this problem or have a solution for this problem?
Thanks,
-Matt

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing to check is the battery--there have been instances of the battery swelling and becoming deformed and exerting pressure on the trackpad from below. If this is the case, stop using the battery immediately before it does permanent damage.
Apple used to have a recall on some of these batteries, but unfortunately no more. If you have access to an Apple Store, take it in and show it to the genius bar. No guarantees, but sometimes if someone feels this should have not happened, you might be able to get a free replacement.
Good luck!

JSlider and mouse click not working

I am using a JSlider class so the user can choose a population size. I'm showing the slider with a scale from 0-100.
When I move the slider button with my mouse the value changes. However, when I click anywhere else on the slider, nothing happens. It should be moving to the next minor tick. Here is my code snippet:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
(here's the construction of the slider)
private JSlider m_popSizeSlider = new JSlider(0,100,20);
m_popSizeSlider.addChangeListener(new SizeSliderHandler());
// now handle the size slider
m_popSizeSlider.setPaintTicks(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setPaintLabels(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setSnapToTicks(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
m_popSizeSlider.setMinorTickSpacing(5);
comboPanel.add(new Label("Size of Population: "));
comboPanel.add(m_popSizeSlider);
(here's the change listener code - defined as an inner class)
class SizeSliderHandler implements ChangeListener
* <p> This method is called when the user clicks on the size slider
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
JSlider s = (JSlider) e.getSource();
m_popSize = (int) s.getValue();
//System.out.println(m_popSize);
so what am I doing wrong?
thanks

Aspx menus and click not working

It's hard to explain the problem, but this site will demonstrate what I mean: http://ic4uae.ae/Default.aspx
as show in the picture, when I hover on "shop by department", a menu should appear, but its not!
when I click on "sign in" a log-in window should appear, but its not!
all the clicks not working in such sites!
this problem is not browser-related, I've tried many of them.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT201268 i tried for 4 day now to remove a podcast and it has not work yet. i've even did a (Click Report a Concern) and sent an email and still no answer

i tried for 4 day now to remove a podcast and it has not work yet.

I have tried clicked "remove podcast" on each of the DMLive podcast pages, explaining to them who I was and what my job title was here, but all I got in return was an e-mail that said "have the administrator contact us." As I explained above, there is no admin on this account anymore and whoever was the admin has long since moved on.
Jeremy,
For understandable reasons, just because there is "no admin on this account anymore" does not mean they will take instructions from someone else.
Make clear to Customer Service that you are now the officially responsible party on that account now.

you don't have to purchase acrobat pro xi. you can, but you can also use it via adobe's creative cloud subscription service.
to use it via cc, uninstall your current trial.
then go here and log in with the same adobe id used to pay for your cc subscription and start your acrobat xi download, Adobe: Creative, marketing, and document management solutions

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:

And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.

Twist How to enable Scrolling and Middle Click (open in new tab)

I'm trying to find out if there is a way I can enable the ability to both scroll and middle click on the Twist. On my T420 I have "scrolling smooth" enabled under trackpoint properties (this setting doesn't exist on the Twist). When this is enabled a quick click of the middle button will open a link in a new tab, but pressing the middle button and moving the trackpoint allows me to scroll as expected. On the Twist, pressing the middle button only seems to bring up the scrolling prompt, and there seems to be no way to click.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.
