Track pad disabled. how to start computer now

My track pad was damaged so the tech at Apple Store disabled it.  I went and purchased an Apple bluetooth mouse to use instead.  But when I turned my computer on, the screen is white and the fan is running nonstop.  What to do?  Not even able to attempt to use mouse.

It seems there is a bigger issue than just the TrackPad not working... You need to take it to the apple store where a tech can look at the internals

  • I have recently noticed that my MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing.  I first noticed that the track pad would not work for short periods of time.  Is anyone else having a problem?

    My MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing up.  It seems that it is happening more often as time goes on. 
    I first noticed that the track pad would freeze then whole computer would completly freeze.
    Most annoying.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem?

    Hey B-bram,
    For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I wanted to trouble shoot, put comupter in safe mode , now its stuck , closed FF 3 times, re-started computer, still in safe mode.how do i get out of safe mode

    i wanted to do trouble shooting, i put computer in safe mode & now i can not get out of safe mode. I've closed FF & re-started computer 3 times, even shut down computer, still in safe mode. What do i need to do to get out of safe mode?

    Hi,
    Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
    I hope that helps. Post back if not.
    --Edward
    EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
    If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
    * Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
    * Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
    Let me know if neither of those works.

  • Anyone know how to disable a track pad?

    I and several others have problems with erratic track pad behavior, and the posts I've seen over the past couple of months haven't gotten any effective replies.
    The cursor behavior is the same as if you were using a mouse and the left button sticks on; you can jiggle it off with an amount of effort that's unacceptable for routine use and it usually sticks again immediately. If I plug in a mouse, the same problems remain, which I interpret as meaning that the trackpad malfunction keeps the cursor control in the "left-button-on" state and the mouse input is just an additional signal.
    Others who have reported similar trackpad problems also say their problems continue when using mice or external trackpads. I'm 99% sure that if communication between trackpad and processor is shut off, the mouse will control the cursor normally.
    I don't see anything in the System Preferences to do this, can it be done from the Console?

    That would imply that there are human-based reasons for the constant relocation of setting controls from version to version of applications and operating systems. It would be satisfying to believe this, just as it used to be nice to anticipate Santa's presents and Easter eggs. This does not seem consistent with these bizarre alterations in Apple software, however, and if you look at the revision patterns for software from a certain firm in the state of Washington, you will see that human decision making processes cannot explain the patterns for the extremely large number of "snipe hunt" events reported by users. One disturbing hypothesis is that the code modifying entities may have entered from an adjacent multidimensional universe and are slipping up by assuming that we can see links in orthogonal space. It goes without saying that I have a bad feeling about this. Where's the Doctor? We may need him.

  • Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

    I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
    which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
    I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
    it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
    i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
    As Jobs sez; And more thing.
    Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
    I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
    God help us.

    Hi, me again, more data.
    I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
    And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
    BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
    I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

  • HT4061 i lost my Pad Please how can i track it ,I cannot remmeber the serial number.

    i lost my Pad Please how can i track it ,I cannot remmeber the serial number. Please help me find it

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    There are some methods described on this page for how you might be able to find the serial number :

  • My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

    My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

    Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
    Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
    other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
    You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
    Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
    I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .
