Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely

Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
as to how to fix. Thanks in advance

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
Can you help?

Hi
It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

Touch Pad Scroll stops working...

When I watch Videos on Youtube, my scroll on the touch pad stops working. I don't want to have to stop using the site just cause of this little problem, any ideas to a fix for this?

This actually happens randomly on my laptop as well, and pisses me off beyond all means. I have a G60-445D notebook and it seems the problem really is with the Synaptic Touchpad drivers itself or with my Windows 7 upgrade that doesn't like it. Originally the laptop was on Vista and never really had issues. After getting my 'upgrade disc' from bestbuy/hp I've had quite a few issues with the notebook (most have been easily resolved however).
Really for this issue, HP probably shouldn't be to blame, but I will in this case seeings I have to go outside of the HP site to actually download the drivers for it (Please do add the driver to my notebooks drivers page, its quite annoying to find a driver outside of HP for my HP laptop..especially since we no longer send operating system discs or anything like that with the pc's we purchase now...but thats another issue that i have all together).
Being that nobody else has responded to this, I'll try to give my two cents of a solution to you.
Solution 1 (stupid solution really, but when im lazy or without internet at the time, this is my usual solution):
1) start
2) control panel
3) device manager
4) mice and other pointing devices
5) find your mouse in there, mine says: Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad. Right click this and choose properties
6) Click the drivers tab.
7) If you have an option to "rollback" the driver, do that. If you do not have this option, it seems "update driver" SOMETIMES works for me, might need to reboot though.
8) if you DONT want to restart your computer after this when it comes up, you can click "no" most of the time and it still works.
Solution 2 (Still stupid, cuz HP doesn't have drivers listed for my device page):
1) go to http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers
2) choose your OS and install the driver that you need.
3) Hope it works...if not, your best off trying solution 1.
Only problem is, this wont "STOP" it from failing, it will still crash on you from time to time. I'm also sure there are better solutions though. Hope this helped for time being alteast though.

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

My wireless key pad just stops working?

why does my key pad stop working? I've four now. Has anyone else had the same problem and how did you cure it?

Thats the first thing to do. Der Brain
Unfortunately, the "battery level" always says 100%.. And there's no low level battery warning as with the mouse.
so i swop batteries with my mouse just to make sure.
So if your wireless key pad battery level is below 20% and you are running multiple programs... should you need to restart your computer you'll have problems..
Can someone at " Apple " have a look at this issue Please..
So far i've found if i un pair my keyboard before replacing batteries I can then pair up again but i must switch bluetooth on first...

Keyboard and Trackpad just stopped working completely

Hi, I'm on a MBP 2.4 GHz running 10.4.11. Beginning yesterday my keyboard and mouse completely stopped working. This happened twice. The first time I got them working again with a hard shut down, the second time I got them working by closing the screen, putting the computer in standby. When I opened the thing back up, everythign was working.
Today, though, when the keyboard and trackpad quit, I've been unable to get them working again.
My problem is similar to the ones experienced here by MBP 2.4 and MB Air owners:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7194888
With the difference being that I'm on Tiger, not Leopard and I can't get the key or pad to respond at all. The solutions offered at that thread don't work for me.
I've plugged in an external keyboard and mouse and those work fine.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Related to the keyboard and mouse or trackpad not working, I've found of late that the whole lot freeze up and that wretched spinning timer takes over ad infinitum. Only way out is to hold pwr button the customary 6-8 seconds, then re-start with pwr/option.
Problem could be related to (Apple) upgrades as it's after a new one that this problem creeps in.
Makes me want to either revert to Factory settings or, Heaven forbid, give this MacBook Pro the float test and go back to Microsoft or even dig out the old steam typewriter.
The latter may be the best option - my life has definitely NOT improved since I invested in this heap of junk and the almost daily offerings of wonderful software by Apple are now set up for Spam, they're such a waste of time...
So, that's my Sunday moan.
If I leave this thing alone while I make a cup of tea I'll find it frozen again by the time I come back - any help on this from anyone??? (Steam being a bit pricey these days)

Equium M40X-189 - Touch Pad has stopped working

The touch pad froze. I restarted the computer and the touch pad worked. This happened several times, and then restarting did not clear the problem. I checked under Device Manager several times and sometimes the mouse was listed and sometimes it wasn't! I Restored the computer to an earlier time when the touch pad was working but this didn't fix it. A Toshiba Agent suggested the soft ware was corrupt and I should back up every thing and use the recovery disc to reload the software for the touch pad. I'm not ready to do this yet. Currently an ALPS Pointing Device and an HID Compliant Mouse are listed under Device Manager and both are erroneously reported as working. Any other ideas on how to fix the touch pad?

Hello
In my opinion you should try to use external mouse to see if this occur again and again. Believe me on this way it is not easy to say why this happen.
Maybe there is some hardware problem but it must be tested. If you preinstall the unit with recovery CD the unit will be clean and on this way it is not possible to say that some additional software has any kind of influence on this.

Scroll bar on my hp pavilion dv6 laptop touch pad has stopped working in Firefox but works in all other software packages, eg Outlook, Chrome, IE9, iTunes, etc?,

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.

My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button
