Track pad button broken on whole phone not scroll button

so ive had my blackberry for about a year now and all of a sudden my button on the track pad wont work no matter what i do now it scolls perfectly fine but its just the button i cannot use and can only just about type in some places it it worth me replacing the trapad? anyone got any ideas?
many thanks
jaydee

Mine does it all of the time when I try to command click a link on a page to open in a new tab and also when I try to close a tab that I had opened I thought at first it was my thumb sitting on the pad as on my mbp 17 I kept my thumb on the button and I have trained my self not to leave my thumb at the bottom I know no other part of my hand is touching the pad. I think the sensors are not as calibrated as they need to be we need more fine tuning in the sys prefs for the track pad.

Track pad buttons won't work

My track pad buttons on Mac Book Pro will not work. Can move cursor using the track pad, but when I click on the buttons nothing happens

I suggest deleting the preference file for the trackpad - it may have become corrupted. Heres how:
Home Folder>Library Folder>Preferences Folder>com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.ytrackpad.plist
Delete: com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.ytrackpad.plist
If this doesn't resolve the issue, I wonder if you are using a third-party trackball or mouse, the driver for that hardware might also be helping to make stuff wonky- Make sure you are using the latest version of drivers for third-party stuff and that the hardware is in fact compatible with your system.
Hope this helps! :-)

After Yosemite Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow Click

Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow click after a period of usage. After Forced reboot track pad works fine for a few hours. This started within hours of installing Yosemite. Help, I am afraid I will lose a document during reboot. So far I have been lucky and have not lost data.
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) SSD

Could be many things, we should start with this...
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change on reboot?

Track pad button automatically/randomly left clicking.

I have a T61P and from the first day I got it the left-click button on the track pad (not the button for the red track pointer) would automatically click but only at random. The button isn't stuck and it generally happens about every 10 to 20 minutes. I have already upgraded the all the driver software. Is there anything else I can try before calling the service tech?? Thanks. -Ray

Track Pad Button

Anyone else having issues where your trackpad button on the alu macbook doesn’t respond on the first click? Sometimes I have to click my 2 or 3 times then it is fine for awhile but when it goes idle it takes a bit to get it going.
I search for this and did not find it. Thanks!

Cleaning track pad button

Ok im an idiot, I spilt a small ammount of fruit juice on the track pad of my Mac Book. now the button sticks it still works though. Is there a safe, relatively easy way to clean this?

Somedays, my hand smeared with Malaysia oil for muscular pain relief, but after massage, I forgot to wash my hand, so it has some oil in my finger. When I touched the touch pad of my black Macbook, the oil penetrate inside. I immediately used tissue to wipe it off but the stain is somehow like u using marker to draw on the touch pad , means can't removed... I don't know what to do, anyone can help, if Apple Repair provide service to replace the surface of such touch pad???Coz' the condition for mine is serious.

Track pad used to work...not anymore

I have a mbp original and after installing xp the track pad used to work great but after I tried to upgrade the driver it stopped working. I reinstalled the leopard part then updated boot camp but it still dosent work, Is there a solution to this issue? Now in order for me to use xp I have to use a mouse and thats a pain,any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks

Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Track pad driver.It should be listed under "Human Interface Devices". Then you should restart and install the Driver from the Bootcamp CD (The older on).
Sometimes just overwriting of Driver doesn't work so always remember : For best possible result, uninstall the old driver and only then Install the new one.
Hope that helps.

MBP Track Pad Button Thinks I'm Still Touching It (How to disable?)

So once again I have another issue with my macbook pro. I'm long out of warranty and I don't have applecare. I already took it to apple to get an estimate of how much it would cost to just replace the whole topcase...$300 (for a stupid trackpad button).
They said its the only way but I want to be entirely sure in case he had no idea what he was talking about.
Here is the issue:
I saw on some threads where other experienced similar issues but were under warranty and got lucky and were able to have it repaired.
The trackpad works perfectly fine. The button however thinks you are stilling pressing on it. If I click once and move the cursor the begins highlighting when im obviously not holding the button down (Don't bother telling me to disable dragging in the trackpad options that isn't the issue). It will keep on doing this after I keep on pressing the button 5 more times, and after clicking it when it has gone away it comes back.
You can tap on the trackpad and that will work perfectly fine, and honestly I can live without the button. However, even if I don't touch the button it is still recognizing something clicking the button and begins to interfere with whatever im doing with the touch pad.
This brings me to my next point, if repairing the button is going to blow a hole in my wallet, is there a way to disable the input from the button completely. I can just live with tapping on the touch pad. Is there some software that allows me to program the computer to ignore the button or is there some wires i can cut? Even if it is something as ghetto as jamming the button with an object somehow, I'll do it.
PLEASE HELP I need to disable this button because I dislike using an external mouse
Thanks in advance

hey thanks for the quick reply. I tried it and i messed around nudging the cable but it still does the same thing.
I also forgot to mention that if you press the button really hard, like quick and solid poke on the button, it tends not to drag and think I'm still holding the button. But if you tap it lightly like one normally does, it continues to "drag" whatever the cursor was on.
Could something be stuck? Apple here in the Philippines was being stubborn and told me that I'd have to give mine and it will most likely just be repaired at the cost of the $300 I mentioned above.

New MBA Gen 2 track pad button click problems

Anyone else seen this: the new MBA trackpad button must be clicked firmly and almost directly in the center or it misses clicks. The previous gen MBA was not like this.
Or is it just my unit?

Hi Edmund,
I received my MBA Gen 2 (1.86 GHz, 128 Gb SSD) last Friday (here in Japan) and over the course of the evening and early on into the next morning, I clearly noticed that sometimes (5 to 10%) when clicking the actually clicker button (that thin tab which is mechanical clicker and not the trackpad clicker which can be enabled through the sys prefs), it did not respond.
This MBA Gen 2 is replacing a 5 yr old 12 inch Powerbook. Switching from the powerbook to the mba, I can clearly tell that the clicker on my MBA is a bit dodgy. In my case, the weakness seems to be to the right of center of the clicker. But then again, I'm always clicking in that area anyways, not sure if it's any better on the left or center. If I click really hard, there's no problem, but if you click lightly, it just doesn't always react, even though it has definitely "clicked".
I called Apple Japan last Saturday and explained that this had been a problem "out of the box". Without any quibbles, they informed me that a new MBA would be ordered for me and that when it arrived, I would just have exchange the old one for the new. Only problem is, they said the delivery times are now around 2 to 3 weeks. Still, I'd rather try to get one that doesn't have this problem than not.
As they say, misery loves company, so hope this helps.
Regards,
PHB

Broken LG G2 phone not covered by Assurion want to switch to another phone

My LG G2 broke about a week ago (I dropped it and cracked the screen). Assurion won't cover it and so I'd like to buy another phone. Can I still put it under my Verizon account?

It doesn't sound right to me either. I'd had the phone almost two weeks when I dropped it. Assurion replied that I had not paid enough of the insurance to legitimate covering the phone.

Track Pad single tap and double tap not working

Dear All,
I have a MBP A1226 model with intel 2.2 GHz Core 2 uo processor. With Mac OSX ver 10.8.4.
My system had developed a snag, was not booting up. I booted up thru the rcovery disk and after the disk repair did not help, did a drive erese and a fresh install.
All seems to work well except that the trackpad does not respond to single aswell as double tap. Scrolling is working fine.
Help to resolve this issue will be appreciated.
BTW trackpad was functinal before the snag.
Regards

I suspect the trackpad settings were reset when you did your fresh install of Mac OSX.
to fix this, open up Settings>Trackpad>"Point & Click" tab.
Here you will find tons of settings that wil let you customize how your trackpad works. More specifically, you will want to enable "Tap to Click".
Hope this helps!

The touch pad on my macbook pro (retina) not scrolling in Aperture

My touchpad works fine in all other applications, and scrolls the Aperture browser fine, but as soon as I am in the viewer or viewing in full screen it becomes totally eratic.
Sometimes it takes 5 swipes to scroll to the next pic, sometimes 1 swipe. These are small (<5mb) jpegs so loading shouldn't be an issue. The directional keys make the pics scroll instantly.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Let it dry, it will come around. You just chilled it a little most likely, unless the cloth was very damp....
Next time use rubbing alcohol.
It removes the oils and grease and dries fast too.
So your have appy to the cloth, wipe, flip the cloth and wipe up the dirt and grime, then start the process with a new clean section of cloth, else you place the grime back on.
