Track pad not responding correctly, what to do?

The track pad is not responding as it should, arrow moves on its own at times and when clicked it does not respond or click where it should. Have tried restarting it and it will work fine for a min or so then go back to being inaccurate.

What OS are you using. Your profile shows IOS 5 but that is for an iPhone or iPad.

Track pad not responding to finger click

I recently got a Macbook Air and tried using the track pad for the standard finger click options however it doesn't work/respond.
Viewed the "how to demo" fromt eh track pad options, tried those and it is still not reponding.
I used to have an old Macbook in which i enabled the finger click and worked fine.
Is there a set up that I don't know about?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Track pad not functioning correctly

My MacBook 5,1 is having issues with the track pad.
Clicking on a folder to open and scrolling are fine. Even a feather like click works, so sensitivity is still functional.
Click and drag and what Apples called secondary click to get drop down menus at different locations are both not working. So highlighting text and secondary/right clicking a misspelled work to get suggestions all don't function.
I have tried different settings in the preferences, without a solution to this.
I tested using a mouse for click and drag and this works, but I would preferred to use the track pad if possible.
IS there a way to remove the preferences for the track pad from the system and then reboot or some similar solution to resolve this?
Thank you.

The situation is unchanged, if anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue with the track pad it would be most welcome.
I s there any software fix or something I can do?
Thank you

Mac Book Pro Keyboard, Track pad not responding at login page

URGENT! URGENT! I´m currently in the middle of the amazon shooting a documentary and my Macbook Pro boots up to the login page but I cannot nothing appears on the login line when I type, and my track pad in not responding. Keyboard and track pad dead. However, I can hit the control-apple-power button and get the shutdown-restart-sleep sceen. I plugged in my usb mouse and that works--track pad does not.
I have rebooted, with power supply, without power supply; removed-replaced battery; still the same problem, boot to login screen--now keyboard, not track pad.
Any suggestions?

I also have this problem. After closing my MBP to put it into sleep mode, I opened it a few hours later to resume work and the machine was locked up. I shut the machine down by holding the power key for 5 seconds. Now, every time I try to restart, the login screen appears (after a very long boot time) but the trackpad and keyboard do not respond.
My summer internship final project is due in 3 days and I am desperate. Please help!

TS1248 Track Pad not working correctly after upgrading to OSX10.8

I've the same issue since yeterday night after upgrading to OSX10.8 from OSX10.6. The problem I am having is only right side of the track pad is not working.. Did some one already experience this issue ?
See screen shot
Cheers,
Vivek

In addtion to Altenbach's comments -
I'd recommend trying another VI function to get the power spectrum for
your signal to see if the behavior is the same. You can find some
examples of VIs using the power spectrum functions using the NI Example
Finder.
You can go to LabVIEW's Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.
Then search for FFT. There should be some results that include FFT and
Power Spectrum Units.vi, Power Spectrum Measurement.vi, Basic Spectral Measurements.vi, and Spectrum Measurements.vi. Try opening and
running these examples to see if the VIs are returning the proper
results.

My onscreen remote for sling player on my I-Pad does not respond correctly. Any ideas?

My onscreen remote for sling player on my I-Pad does not respond correctly. Any ideas?

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, make an appointment at the genius bar and show them the problem and maybe ask them to run a hardware test. Since you just reinstalled the OS, that should rule out a software issue.
It can be hard to troubleshoot over the phone. It may be easier to find the problem if someone can look at your Mac in person and see what it is doing.
Good luck!

Hello @BABUMON ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and mouse freezing. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad sensitivities.
If you will go to the section on Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities it should help resolve the issue.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Please let me know.

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.
4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
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.

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly. Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly. Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

Screen not responding correctly.

Has anyone else had issues with their screen not responding correctly.Mine is typing wrong charaters or none at all. I've updated to the latest ios. restored, reset and everything else I can think of. The phone is less than 6 months old.

Did you restore as new without the backup? If you restored as new and then restored the backup, there is a chance that something in the backup could be causing it. But frankly, that seems unlikely to me, but the only way that you could know for sure is to try restoring as new without the backup.
if you did restore as new, there isn't much else that you can do on your own. Take it to an Apple Store and let them have a look at it. It could be hardware related and there isn't anything that you will be able to do about it unless you want to have the device repaired on your own, since Apple does not repair iPads. They replace out of warranty iPads with refurbs for a cost starting at $250.00 in the U.S.

Touchpad touchscreen problems (erratic behavior/not responding correctly/etc) temporary solution.

I bought a HP Touchpad about a month or two after it came out. It worked pretty much as you'd expect it to until some time ago. I started getting a problem where the screen would go crazy and not respond correctly to my touch inputs. Web pages would jump all over the place, cards would zoom out, etc, in other words, they would behave erratically. After some testing I noticed that certain areas of the touchscreen would NOT respond at all to inputs while others would make the screen go crazy like I mentioned previously. I looked for information on the web to see if other people where having the same problem and found reports of the same behavior. Unfortunately there where no solutions offered. At that point I tried turning on and off the Touchpad which did not resolve the problem. My next step was to try to reinstall the OS with WebOS Doctor, but I read a post where the user reported similar behavior and reinstalling with WebOS Doctor didn't fix the problem. Needless to say I was bummed out since I figured it was a hardware problem with the touchscreen. After more testing I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to suggest that the probem could be software. The solution when you get the problem is to hold down the power button and the home button at the same time and keep them pressed until the screen shuts down and the touchpad restarts. Once the OS comes back up it works like it is supposed to until you get the next episode of screen epilepsy. At that point you need to do the procedure again and it will fix the problem temporarily. Usually the fix lasts for a few days in my case. The fix also solves other problems I have with the touchpad. Problems like, videos not playing fluidly or freezing every few seconds although the sound plays fine (youtube), sound gets messed up (sounds are played in a robot like pitch), and others. If anybody has questions or other suggestions let me know, I will answer the as best as I can.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I think the YouTube and sound problems are separate from the other erratic behaviour. Recently my touchpad won't play YouTube videos beyond certain points, starting a few seconds in possibly due to the advertising pop-ups - I can skip forwards, but that means I miss crucial parts. My sound also goes 'robot-like' until a reboot, which is incredibly annoying! Your touchscreen problems may be specific to your device - try going to Device Info / Diagnostics and see if that tells you anything.
