Track pad on macbook pro 2010 can click but no response

Hi.
I have a macbook pro late 2010 model. Suddenly the mouce tracp won't work. I does everything I ask it to and even click. But when I click nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried screw thing behind the battery trick but that only helps if the track doesn't click at all. Help please!

Have you tried it with a mouse to see if that works? If it works with a mouse, it may be a trackpad hardware issue. You can take it to an Appple Genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

Track pad on MacBook Pro 15"

The track pad on my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2009) when trying to drag and drop files stays continously selected and never lets me drop them into the new folder. This all started happening after install of the OS X Mountain Lion.
I have already tried the universal access route by enabling dragging but it doesn't seem the same way as it used to be. Because even with that then when I select words while typing, it like locks and drags and messes that up, and if I do it without drag lock then it goes back to not working at all, and stays continsouly selected.
Also have tried Disk Repair Permissions.
Is there a patch out to fix this, or another way to fix this?

Try SMC and PRAM resets:

MacBook Pro 2010 Can't Connect To Home Wifi

Hey,
My home was setup with a Cisco Linkysys wireless router (about 2 years old) and at the time the iMac that was hardwired to the router and other devices like an iPod/ iPhone and a Nintendo DS etc. would be able to access the home network. I arrive now (to the parents home) and can't seem to gain access to the network. I was able to connect once and use the internet but the next day couldn't connect again. We've confirmed many times the password is correct, reset the linkysys router and tried again but failed. I would see the router and have full or high signal but upon entering I would get either an "Invalid password" or "Connection timedout" error response. I also tried Network Diagnostics and Assistant walk throughs under the Assit Me... button but didn't work. I've also tried choosing the network in Network Preferences under the drop down menu Network Name and entering the password there but to no avail.
Then recently got another wireless router (Airport Extreme, I figured I we could use another one for the home anyway) yesterday, and did the setup and other devices and the hardwired iMac all can connect and use the internet off of it. I am currented hardwired to it via ethernet and all though I am right next to the new Apple router, and have full bars, I can't connect. The most I have gotten was being connected with full bars for a few moments and then the exclamation point coming up in the Airport icon. BTW, for the past 2 days I have been connecting to free wifi at another public place so I'm really not sure what is going on. Both networks (the Linksys created one and now the Apple one) are protected via WPA2 Personal. My notebook is only a year old show that should be fine too, no?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a trouble shooting dead end from my mind's perspective.
Thanks,
Brian

I have the same issue. Was working fine until Saturday when Rogers reset my modem because we lost our internet connection. Our modem is direct connected to our PC and we connec with the Macbook through wifi.
When the modem rebooted we got an IP error and they had to do a renew and release. Since then - no wifi on macbook.
every time we try to join our home network it gives a password wrong error. The password is not wrong. Airport is a solid yellow light. Ethernet is red.
I am not great with macs and I have scoured the net and I cannot figure this out

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Yes, see > OS X Mountain Lion - Apple Store (U.S.)
You could also go to Mavericks, see > Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.

My macbook pro (2010 13inch) is really laggy when I'm using apps like iTunes and safari. the arrow on the screen seems to not respond and is laggy and when viewing videos it can be really laggy. I just want to know if it was a problem i could fix, thanks.

You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

I have a Java/CVE-2010-94 virus on my macbook pro. Can Someone help me fix this?

I used Virus Barrier Express that I downloaded from the App Store and it found a virus named Java/CVE-2010-94. I ran Virus Barrier Express again after I prssed the "fixed it" button; however, i'm not sure if this virus or any other virus is still on my MacBook Pro. Can someone please help me know if i'm safe to use my Mac?
*The first sign of any type of virus was when I was on a website and my screen froze. I couldn't move anything or press anything. Something popped up and told me to turn off the Mac. I had no choice and I did turn it off. I used my Virus Barrier Express to scan any viruses, but nothing appeared. It only appeared after I downloaded new updates yesterday.
*I just did some research and it turned out to be a "kernel Panic". http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742 I haven't encountered another one ever since so does that mean my Mac is safe now?

Steven --
Get rid of the VirusBarrier Express. At this time, there are no Mac viruses. All you're doing with that thing is slowing down your Mac. Look in your VBE folder, to see if there's an UNinstaller. I don't know why Apple is making these things available. They're garbage, 98% of them. Two good ones are ClamXav and Sophos. But still, IMHO, they are unnecessary.
Kernel Panics, on the other hand, are serious. If you don't have any more of them, that's good. If you have any more of them, come back and post your Panic report here.
Here's info on this virus, which should affect only PCs.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your hard disk is damaged. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Alternatively, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone onto an external disk.
Then, look for a hard drive. You can use a 2'5" SATA hard drive, and you can buy it at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ Seagate and HGST drives have good performance, and 7200 rpm hard drives will give you a slightly better performance.
After installing it, start up from the clone (if you made a clone) or hold Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting (if you created a backup). In the second case, you just have to choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup and follow the steps.
In the case of a clone, use Disk Utility's Restore feature to restore the external drive content onto the internal disk > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html You may need to format the hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"

Where can i get the macbook pro (2010) bootcamp drivers for windows 7?

I recently decided to install windows 7 ultimate (32-bit) on my macbook pro (2010 model). However my macbook did not come with installation disks, i know this for a fact and it came pre installed with 10.6. And when i try to download the windows support files through bootcamp assistant, it says that the download cannot continue. So where can i get these drivers from?

All MBP's with Snow Leopard (10.6) came with an installaton disc, and that is where the drivers are, if you don't have (or didn't get) the disc contact Apple for a replacement, there is no downloadable version of BC3

WIndows can't find a better one than the installed LSI Conformed 1394 Hostcontroller

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD, so I did what I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'. im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
Help I'm desperate!!

The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.
