Track pad is not working

Can somebody suggest a way to fix this problem?

"not working"
That is so vague it is essentially useless in trying to help you with your problem.
Please be MUCH more specific about what it does and does not do. What are you asking it to do in what ways, and how does it fall short of your expectations.
Many trackpad problems can not be solved by minor software tweaks. A FREE appointment at your local genius Bar for an evaluation is often very productive for this sort of physical problem. Those guys put their hands on these computers all day, every day, and have developed a remarkable body of expertise about hands-on problems like this.

Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
Apple store to have it checked out.
Best.

HT3211 My tracking pad is not working. It controls itself and does not follow my finger commands. If I bring it to an apple store, would I be able to have a new pad installed?

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year?

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year. I heard that the 2011's had track pad trouble.

All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

I was prompted to change batteries. I did and now my track pad is not working

I was prompted to change batteries on my track pad. I did and now the track pad is not working.

Did you replace your battery with one of as good quality as that you are disposing of. Does the indicaror light show when you start up.

The track pad buttom not working

Hey everyone,
I have a BB curve, and for some reason the track pad just stopped working. I am very gentle with my
BB and I don not really understand what could possibly happened. It is completely frozen on the left up side of the screen on the " search" option ( the hand lenses icon).
I already turned it off-on and I also removed the battery , and it is still in the same position.
I can receive calls, and make calls using the speed dial letter/pad. What can I do/try?
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

HT203171 my track pad is not working after the update of iTunes 11.1 version.

Two years old macbook pro track pad stuck up and moving without my fingers,this thing happens from 18 th of this month,on that day i hadbeen updated the new itunes for iOS7...after that my mac book pro trackpad not responding...please help...

I have been experiencing the same issue. My MacBook Pro is a little more n 3 years old.
AFter the updates, my computer seemed to run very erratic when running a few programs at once and the trackpad suddenly went on the fritz. For a week now, it jumps around erratically and selects things on its own.
I reset the PRAM, tried it in safe mode, reconfigured the mouse settings and nothing seems to work.
HAe you had any resolution yet?

My track pad is not working right. Help?

. Ive had my computer for 10 months now and the arrow goes all over the screen despite where I try to direct it to go. When it does work, it can take a long time to fix it and keep it on track to click something i want. Literally, the arrow moves all over the screen even if I am not touching the computer- like its possessed or something. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greetings,
How often does this occur?
Is anything touching the track pad like a computer case?
Wipe the track pad off with a clean dry soft cotton cloth. Moisture can cause strange behavior.
Try starting up the computer in the startup manager and see if the trackpad works ok there: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310

My track pad is not working. The computer has been off for 10 days and I changed the batteries

Can someone help me with my iMac track pad? My computer has been off for 10 days and when I turned it on the curser will not move. The green light on the track pad would come on then off so i replaced the batteries in the track pad but it still does not work. Not sure if the grandchildren were on it over the holidays could something be locked on the keyboard?

1. Make sure that battery is in normal condition.
2. Shut down the computer.
    Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
    System Preferences > Point & Click
    Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.

6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click the Spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
    Select Disk Utility. When the Disk utility window opens up,
    select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permission
    Ignore the time remaining estimate.

Mouse pad (track pad) does not work,

Started Macbook w/o mouse. Track pad can move cursor, but "enter function" does not work.

Did the MBP come with the trackpad, or do you have a mouse as well? To turn off the trackpad, there is a botton on the right side, see picture. Hold, you will see a light, wait until it goes off. To turn on, hold until you see the light.

Backup your user files off the machine
Use a wired mouse and hold commnad r keys and reboot, reinstall Lion again
Once you got your trackpad back, then install Flash here

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.
