Track Pad Stopped Working: Swipes between FullScreen, Desktop and Dashboard, Help Please?

So I gotta do an assignment and I'm using about 2 or more apps at the same time on fullscreen, but I can't swipe between the two apps with my trackpad. I checked the system preferences and the 'swipe with 3 fingers between full-screen apps' has been ticked, but it won't work. Only the keyboard works, but it's hard to remember controls to switch between desktops, dashboard and full-screened apps.
Is there something wrong with what I've ticked? Or is it the track pad itself.
Please Help

Have you tried restarting your mac?

Is there something that can be done when the track pad stops working?

Not much..

You could attempt an SMC reset afterwards. Likely you need to bring your machine in for service.

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:

Hello becky81464
If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]

thank you

Hi and welcome to the forums Lotte !
A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101 Tips & Tricks
Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc.
When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
Let us know ow it goes..Happy to have you here!

Track pad stopped working??????

My trackpad has suddenly stopped working??? Apple needs to communicate with it's customers we need a fix to this problem. it's really annoying.

Depends on the problem. Have you tried zapping the PRAM or an SMC reset? Check your battery - any swelling?
If none of the above helps, your best bet is to call an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and ask (you may need to take it in for them to determine the problem and estimate cost and repair time).
Hope this helps...

My track pad stopped working.

My track pad isnt allowing me to click on anything. I must press very hard for the mouse to click on an icon.

If you are still under warranty or have Apple Care, call them and make sure you get a case number.

Photoshop Elements 6.0 stopped working, no support from Adobe?? Help Please

Hi, about 3 weeks ago I went to open Photoshop and it just was gone. I then found out I had a virus and since removed it but when I called Adobe for help because I was trying to reinstall and I kept getting a error message saying that the Data Cab file was bad. So then I was told that I had a bad disc or it was badly scratched. Well, wouldn't you think that they would tell me where to download it and just plug my key in?? No, they told me that since Photoshop 7.0 is out I would have to pay for help.
When trying to remove my virus I came upon these files:

So, after doing everything from turning off my antivirus, stopping the internet from loading and every troubleshooting tip out there I finally transferred the program onto an external hard drive via my other computer and then tried to load it from the external onto my desktop. Well there are about 7 different application.exe folders so I just unzipped all of them. now it looks like I have parts of the program but gives me a fatal error and wants to shut it down. Can anyone help me. I use it a lot to sell on ebay and I started my own business about 6 months ago and in this economy I am not making any money so I can't just go out and buy Photoshop 7.
Thanks in advance for your responses....

Just giving a suggestion which might not work.
Try downloading Trial PSE6 and use your Serial to activate it. Not sure your activation is expired or not. In that case Adobe Customer Care can help you.

My track pad stopped accepting clicks. I can move the mouse but clicks will not register. Help!!!

My track pad stopped accepting clicks. I can move the mouse/cursor although clicking will not register with computer. Any suggesstions? HELP!

If you configure the track pad to accept a double-tap = mouse click - do you still have the problem?
I had a similar problem with white MacBooks - the mouse button just wouldn't work anymore - got worn out or something. I think that may be why Apple went with the whole trackpad being the mouse button. I never use that though. I much prefer the double tap.

Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update

Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update?

I have been an ardent user of aperture for years now and got used to the great workflow. Ever since version 1 I have been enjoying working with aperture. It is the workflow that kept me from changing.
I got a new MacPro 12 GB ram, 4TB HDD my library mostly indexed files sits on a raided 2TB for maximum of comfort. I did this in an effort to keep me from writing the posts I writing lately. I do not have the time rally to do this but reality is something different.
Today I am working on a job I need to finish quickly and in aperture workflow manner. So I switched to full screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen mode and after pressing 'H' for the HUD my screen started flickering. please look at the video I posted in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawas/4719742585/
Now this is the second time this happened in a short time after I got a new mac and upgraded to 10.6.4! After the screen had jammed up : http://gallery.me.com/masuwa/100103 I needed to hard boot my mac I am getting nervous!
