Touch pad buttons disabled when keyboard in use

when a key on the built in keyboard is depressed the left and right cursor buttons are dissabled.
the synaptics touchpad (7.5) menu allows "palm check enhanced" that stops acidental keypad touches whilst typing to be dissaled,but this did nt resolve the issue, this allows cursor movement when typing, but not left/right button press when typing
the settings appear fragmented and the help section useful only if you know the correct term for the issue you are expreiancing, so any assistance woul be apreciated
-will

That normally happens when the person typing has inadvertently tapped the disable area on the touchpad.
I do wish I could have been far more specific, but you only gave a general identification of your notebook instead of the complete product number or product name.
Fn+Esc keys will show system information when you are logged into Windows. Post the complete product number here.

Touch pad keeps disabled when windows starts on Equium

The touch pad on my laptop keeps disabled every time I start up my computer, I noticed that an icon appears in my task bar which is the same picture on my F9 key of the circular cross over the touch pad, however once I press Fn+F9 keys the touch pad works fine until I start up the laptop again

If you have some problems with the notebook shuts down procedure so possibly it happens because some programs and applications are running in the background of the OS and cannot be disabled.
Mostly reinstallation of such application could solve such issues.
Im not 100% sure if it will help to solve the touchpad issue but try to reinstall the touchpad driver and the utility. Check the Toshiba page for updates.
Furthermore you could check the settings of the touchpad in the control panel in the mouse option

X121e touch pad buttons stop working after a while

Hello everyone,
I have a lenovo thinkpad x121e.
The buttons above the touchpad (for right and left clicking) and also the trackpoint stop working after a while (about 45 min). Although the touchpad itself works without problems.
If I reboot the operating system (Windows 7, 64-bit version) everything works fine for a while and then the buttons and trackpoint won't respond again.
It is always the same routine. Rebooting windows, everything alright, stop working, ...
I am using the newest driver version and de- & reinstalling of UltraNav haven't solved the problem.
Has anyone an idea what causes my problems with the touch pad buttons and how to solve it? (I guess it's not a hardware problem.)
Many thanks in advance.

Hi again, li-lup
I would recommend trying to use the standard Synaptics driver found here. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software, so there should be no loss of compatibility/features. I have witnessed several cases where this driver has helped others with mouse issues, so it may help yours as well.
The first thing you will need to do is to remove the UltraNav driver from the system. To do this, open the Start menu and type Device Manager into the Search box, and then press Enter. Once here, double click on Mouse and other pointing devices, and then right-click on the UltraNav device. Naviage to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom of the window. Follow the prompts to uninstall and then restart when prompted by Windows. Windows should install a generic driver that will allow you to use the TouchPad when downloading the Synaptics driver.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Left touch pad button fault?

Hi all,
I have had my G570 laptop for about two months after a very bad affair with an HP laptop which went back to PC World twice with the same screen fault, then when I went to collect it, I switched it on only to see the same fault
So they said I could have a new laptop and I chose the Lenovo, bumped the RAM up to 8GB and have been very pleased with it, it feels solid and I wish I had got it from day one.
Now, as the subject says, I have an issue with the left touch pad button. Some times it sticks down, seems to go down further and at a different angle to the right button and just feels like something is not right. Is there anything that I can do to fix it or am I heading back to PC World for a fourth time in as many months
Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks Duck3, I did think as much

Touch pad button wobble/clicking sound.

Yeah so I have had my macbook for about 3-4 months and just recently the touch pad button is getting all wobbely and making an annoying clicking sound if i just touch it (not clicking something). Its VERY annoying. Basicly what i wanna know is if i can take it to the apple store or something and get it fixed?

Do you have applecare? Problem is on something like this we can't really say what apple service will do about it. The reason I asked about applecare is if you had it you could call in and talk to apple service on the phone. With the regular warranty you only get 90 days free phone support. That is one of the reasons I am getting Applecare before my first year is up. I luckily have had no problems but I plan on having this computer for at least another 3 years applecare will be worth it. One problem after the first year and it's paid for itself. To me the phone support alone will be worth it.
Thanks for the .

Touch pad stops working when I plug my external hard drive in????

Exactly that.
I an have HP Envy 14 Spectre, it's about 6 months old and hasn't given me any trouble until now. Whenever I plug my external hard drive in the touch pad starts behaving eratically and won't respong properly, it's really bizzare and very annoying. I've looked around but I can't find anyone with a similar probem to me on the web so I'm really stumped about what to do.
Any suggestions will be apprectiated.
Thanks.

If the system is updated, try the Forced Reset:
Reset your notebook:
Notebooks- Forced Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues- Sealed Non-Removable Battery
OR
Notebooks - Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues - Removable Battery
I am assuming you have the system UPDATED. If not, then you should make sure it IS updated with the latest TouchPad driver. Start at
Support and Drivers
Enter your information, put in the OS and Click Next -- Scroll down.
Check under Mouse and Keyboard stuff.
Is the BIOS on the latest? Probably. Do not mess with the BIOS unless there is a good reason to do so. Read the update information in your computer's driver update page -- see if the update applies to your system.
Updating the BIOS
If you decide to update your BIOS,
Disconnect all USB drives
Always run in AC power
Do not touch the system while the update is in progress
Optional: leave wireless button ON, but turn off the router (to make sure there are no interruptions)
Next, Call HP. Frankly, it could be hardware. Sounds just odd. You may has well take advantage of that warranty. See what HP says. They may have seen this before and if so, it will be in the HP database.

HP may want to have you do a Recovery on the system - that is back up all your personal data and then reinstall the Operating System. If you have Windows 8, you might get away with backing up your personal data and doing a Refresh... Regardless, you may as well plan on making a full set of backups because at some point soon you are going to need them.
HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Will the Recovery / Refresh / Reset fix it? It may well fix it if the software is at fault. Nothing will get better if there is a hardware problem as the root cause - throwing software around doesn't fix hardware issues. You have to throw software at a problem sometimes to convince folks that the hardware is broken. Smiling.
Good Luck!

S400 Active touch pad buttons problem

Dear all,
i`ve just bought Ideapad S400 and a first question arise
Could you please advise me how to disable the two buttons part of my touch pad as a touch pad i.e. I want the buttons to be only buttons, not buttons + active touchpad zone nor anything else - only buttons function? This double tasking of buttons part of the touchpad is very unconfortable.
Thank you in advance!

Hi leverkuzen,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.
We would need to disable the tapping feature on the touchpad. To disable this, hit start then go to control panel. Under control panel look for hardware and sound -double click (View by: Category) then double click on mouse.
Under control panel look for mouse -double click (View by: Large or Small Icons)
Go to device settings tab, then hit settings, the properties of the Synaptics, click on the tapping item, then uncheck enable tapping.
Hit apply, then hit ok.
This should disable the tapping feature on the touchpad, and allow you to use the buttons accordingly without accidentally tapping or double clicking an item.
Hope this helps.

Touch-pad stop working after several hours using the laptop

i have bought a new lenovo m30-70 and the touch-pad freezing after working several hours with the laptop.the driver is elan pointing device.after restarting the laptop it works again for several hours normally and then again the touchpad stops working. i tried to install the driver again but it stays the same.

Hi Kiril87,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with the touchpad in your M30-70 laptop.
Try to boot the system to safe mode and check for the issue, also check the issue in different applications. Try to uninstall the driver an check with windows basic drivers.
If still the issue persists try to reinstall the operating system and check for the issue, before reinstalling the operating system please take a data backup.
Also try to connect the external mouse and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin.S

Hi Neil6610i,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having a problem with TouchPad after the notebook went to sleep. I will be happy to help you with this problem. There is another way to disable and enable the TouchPad. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section Disabling the TouchPad. If that doesn't work then try reinstalling your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.

Yoga 13" - Touch Pad not disabled in tablet mode/F6 No longer works.

I have updated all of my drivers from the Lenovo Yoga 13" site. I read on here to pay special attention to the Synaptics driver, mine is 16.2.21.4 from Synaptics. When I flip in to tablet mode my mouse moves around when I touch it. Also the F6's "disable touchpad" doesnt work.
Its really annoying to not be able to use it as intended. Anyone have a fix for this?

hi OmegaNine,
Sorry to hear what happened,
1. Can we Try this,
Go to Control Panel / Programs and features/ uninstall a program
    Look for the Synaptics Software, Uninstall it there.
2. Go to Device Manager and look under "mice and game controllers" and make sure it does not say Synaptics there.
              If it Does Uninstall it as well and put a check on the box if it asked "delete driver software"
If the system did not asked you for a restart, Restart the system Manually.
Open Device Manager again and open the category Sensor
like on this photo
     http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/wiisensor/wiisensor11.png
Uninstall everything under Sensors but DO NOT put a check on the delete driver Software.
Restart
Download and install this driver
       Synaptics TouchPad Driver for 64-bit Windows
Restart after installation and Check if You still have the Issue.
Hope this helps

Why is the "Choose File" button disabled when trying to add a photo to my account?

I have an iPad 1 and when I try to add a photo to my profile the "Choose File" button is disabled although I can choose a different Avatar. I suppose I could log in using my phone and try but that would defeat the purpose :-)

N95-2 restarting when keyboard is used to start WL...

I have had this issue for a while now, but it was not until today when i figured out how it was happening
Every time I use my Nokia Bluetooth keyboard to start the WLAN wizard my phone restarts.
It works just fine when using the phones navigation buttons, even with the keyboard connected. But if I select the WLAN wiz icon and hit the return key or the selection key , the phone just resets itself
*and don't say, "just use the phones selection key"...lol*

Hi! First I would create a system repair disc. If you still have a problem, restoring back to factory will eliminate software and you can start finding what hardware is causing you this problem. Key Board or Mother Board would be good suspects.

Synaptics Touch Pad - Permenently disabling tapping - A solution

MODERATORS: I wasn't sure where I should post a 'solution' rather than a 'problem/issue' but felt that Hardware Issues was the best location after viewing all other forums.
I recently have had issues with disabling my synaptics touchpad 'tapping' feature. A feature that can be quite annoying when engaging in an irc conversation, especially when you suddenly realize you are not typing anymore because you accidently grazed the touchpad resulting in the the client no longer having focus.
Let me first describe how my system is set-up. I have hot-pluggin enabled, therefore, HAL must be used rather than the infamous xorg.conf. As a matter of fact, I never even created an xorg.conf when setting up my arch system. If you do not have hot plugging enabled, then this particular solution is not for you.
After scouring google searches, the Archlinux forum, and even #archlinux on freenode, I finally decided to just poke around myself. I found the 'hal-device' tool in /usr/bin so called upon it and received a VERY large list of devices being handled by HAL. To make it easier on the eyes and easier to review, I did the following while in ~/.
hal-device > hal-device-output.txt
After reviewing the output of hal-device with my fav. text editor, leafpad, I finally came upon the Synaptics section. After viewing what settings were being fed into HAL and exactly how HAL saw my device, I configured the policies appropriately. If you have not yet copied your Synaptics policy to /etc/hal/fdi/policy then execute the following code:
sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
This will copy a default policy to the hal policy directory. Now let's compare MY output of hal-device to the default policy.
Output from hal-device
18: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0'
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event8' (string)
input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton1 = '1' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton2 = '2' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton3 = '3' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8/event8' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0' (string)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.capabilities = { 'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad' } (string list)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event8' (string)
Your output may differ, but the procedure should be the same.
Default HAL policy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>


</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Looking at the hal-device output, I see my device is recognized as: input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
Looking at the default policy, you can obviously see this is different: <match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
So, make the appropriate changes to the default hal policy that you copied to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ (i.e. Changing ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad to AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint)
In my situation, you can see that was the only line that differed between hal-device output and the default policy. Therefore, we can now make the appropriate adjustments to turn TAPPING off. Simply change the following lines in the default policy:
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
to the following
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">0</merge>
Afterwards, save and exit the policy and run:
sudo /etc/rc.d/hal restart
You should now have tapping disabled!!!
NOTE: Throughout this I have used Sudo to take on temporary ROOT priviledges... however, you may not have sudo installed therefore may be omitted if run as the root user.
NOTE2: Also, please note, depending on your device you may need to set MaxTapMove to 0.

Since the X.org update, this has now changed. The file you want to edit now is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf. Change TapButton 1-3 option values to 0 then restart X.
