'Tap to click' not working in certain applications in Vista SP2

System: Alu Macbook c2d 2.4ghz (late 2008)
Bootcamp version 3/3.1 (Latest)
Windows Vista SP2
OS X 10.6.2
OK, insignificant problem, but to explain;
I have the Bootcamp control panel installed in Windows Vista under Bootcamp, and for the last 5 months, all has worked perfectly. 'Tap to click' has never had any problems anywhere in Windows, or related applications.
For the last few months I have run a game, Championship Manager 01/02 under Windows XP, in OS X 10.6, via VMWare 2. No issues at all, other than it wasn't the fastest. Tap to click worked fine in XP, and in the game.
A few days ago I gave my disks of VMWare and Vista to a family member as I didn't need them anymore, and planned to delete them both from my system. I then booted into Bootcamp where I run Vista SP2, and installed CM 01/02 directly onto the Windows system.
All worked and installed fine.... other than in CM 01/02 only, 'tap to click' does not work at all! I have to physically 'click' the keypad, which *****, is loud, and is a real pain.
I rechecked in XP under VMWare, and it works there, so I reinstalled under Windows Vista in Bootcamp, and again, no go.
I am just wondering if anyone may be able to tell me why this would happen just in this one application, and how I can go about fixing it!
TIA
Marc

After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

Two finger tap right click not working

Is anyone having a problem with two-finger tap to right click? Two-finger tap to right click was working fine for a while, but it suddenly stopped on my Yoga 13.
I reinstalled the touchpad drivers, and it worked for a few days, then it stopped again. Two-finger click still works fine. So does one-finger tap to left click.
Strange....
Solved!

Lenovo Flex 2 14#: Two-finger-tap (right click) not working on windows 10

On my new Lenovo Flex 2 (AMD A8) i have upgraded to win 10 but i cant get the two-finger-tap to work. It dint work in 8.1 either. I can scroll in browser with two fingers. In the synaptics software the feature is activated but i doesent work. I have read some of the other threads about fixing the problem in win 8.1 but the registry files doesent have the same structure/names on my win 10. What to do?

I am having the same problem... It's very irritating to have to two finger click all the time.
Is there a solution?

Flash 10.3 .... not working in certain applications (YouTube, Comcast), etc/

Hi everyone - I've read several other posts from people who are having the same issue and have done way too many hours of searching, but I haven't found a solution yet. I use IE 9 with Windows Vista.
I have uninstalled (to the best of my knowledge) all older versions of Flash and reinstalled whatever today's latest is ... 10.3 ---. Rebooted (again and again and again). I checked the test site at Adobe which indicates with a flashing red "R" that I have the most up-to-date version installed. Checked add-ons and Shockwave Flash Object is enabled. The current version shows up in my "add/remove programs" list. But I still can't play a video directly from YouTube or view a weather report from my local channel - they both state I don't have Flash. Also, my videos don't show up on my Comcast home page. Interestingly, I'm having no problems at all via FB playing a friend's shared video from YouTube, or playing a silly FB game that requires Flash.
I'm about to reset my internet and trusted site settings to medium and enabling any and all scripting ... again! I'll reboot after I send this post and see what happens.
I would LOVE suggestions!

Hello Regg, Would you mind starting a new discussion/thread? This one has been answered and it's better to have your own. You can copy & paste the info you have posted here, or when I see your new thread, I'll bring it over.
Doing this will help Jen not to start receiving all of the email notifications too:-)
P.S. To Jen: youtube is having issues, so don't think your computer or Flash Player is the cause if you get a black screen.
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.

Spilled soda on laptop--right/left click not working

My 2 year old spilled soda on my HP G60 laptop last night. I immediately turn off computer and turned it upside down and cleaned it up. I booted up fine later on. Everything seemed fine until I realized my right/left click was not working. I can navigate fine with the touch pad but cant click on anything. Tapping method does not work either.

Make sure that the pad is not turned off.
Are the lights on above the touchpad.???
Sorry just noticed that you can use the touch pad.
MY BAD.

Multi gesture and tap-to-click stopped working on Logitech touchpad

I have a Logitech TK820 that has been working great until I did a upgrade for about one week ago. Now multi gesture stopped working completely and also tap-to-click doesnt work.
Does anyone have any clue on what I can do to get it working again.
Thanks

hi,
thanks for your reply. i haven't had time to deal with this issue since i wrote about it in october.
i found the 'properties' window for the touchpad mouse but there is no reset button. i continue to have this issue and it is becoming more frequent although i have not been able to identify what triggers the sudden shut down of the tap-to-click function.
but something new has cropped up: when the tap-to-click stops working, the next time i tap the touchpad, the pointer goes to the Start button! this happens every time. i don't know that anything is different?
any further pointers (forgive the pun) would be most welcome!

Search function in Help not working in any application

The Search function is not working in any application's Help. Upon entering the terms I need help for I get a hang at "Searching..." but never any result. This problem started sometime in the last year or so. Prior to that the search function in Help worked fine. My network connectivity is excellent.
I recently reinstalled OS X 10.5 but I'm sure the problem existed before that and persisted after the reinstall.
The reinstall was due to upgrading to 10.7 and only then finding that I had lost needed functionality, but I don't think this has anything to do with the current problem. All other aspects of Help seem to be working fine
I don't find any reference to this problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help with my Help(!) problem. Thanks in advance.

Try running your Leopard install disk again, as well as the 10.5.8 combo updater. This might reinstall any 'missing bits'.
You can do this without deleting the hard drive, just install straight over your existing system, but close all applications and external devices first.
Or you could also do this via an Archive and Instal:
How to Archive & Install:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
and this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2196?viewlocale=en_US
This document explains how to correctly reinstall a prior version of Mac OS X in the event that other troubleshooting does not resolve an issue:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25404
BUT: Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what came with your computer:

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

ADF JS not working in certain browser setting

ADF javascript is not working in certain browser / machine. When investigated, we found the below forum link and after resetting / changing the language preference and reopen the browser, it started working.

Is it language preference setting / locale depend? Do anyone know the root cause / fix for this?

User, thank you for pointing this out. However we here at the forum can't do anything about it. Only Oracle support can.
My advice it's to open a SR with Oracle support and let them work on it.

FaceTime HD Camera (Display) not working with most applications

The Thunderbolt 27" LED Cinema displays built in camera is not working with most applications. The camera does not work with FaceTime, iChat, Skype and Google Talk. FaceTime says "There is no connected camera", even though there is. Weird thing is it DOES work at http://www.testmycam.com. I can't get it to work with any other flash based apps, just testmycam.com.
My MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011) built in camera works perfectly with everything.
Things I've already tried:
- Shutdown
- Restart
- disconnect/reconnect
- removing power from display
lame, lame, lame. $1k monitor, flippin' webcam doesn't work.

I think I have found the problem. I decided to go page by page through the forums and found this argument when running a Java program through the console:
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
So it would be like:
java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true SwingSet2
That works flawlessly, so it has to do with direct draw (So it's either DirectX or my video card drivers which are up to date).

Debugger not working for BSP application

Hi All,
I have 4.6C sap installation and the debugger is not working for BSP Application even when i hard code the break points.
Can anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
How many number of sessions are open ? If there are already six sessions open and then you try and get the debugger, it will not start, and you won't be able to catch that error also...!
Other than that there is no possibility that the debugger doesn't start, unless ofcourse, the logic doesn't reach the debugger point....
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
