Track pad very irratic while using power adaptor

Using a 65 watt power adaptor on my Macbook Air, which requires only 45 watts. Charges the batter fine, but I cannot use the trackpad while it's plugged in, unplug it and it works fine. Extrememly annoying.

Does the trackpad operate correctly using the MBA 45W power adapter?

    Thanks in advance

    You could also check what it draining battery under settings > power management > battery usage. Check this when you have less then 30% battery left and you should have 3G enabled from 100% battery.

    THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
    I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard. 
    What is wrong with this maverick OS?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Very hot while using wifi

    Very hot while using wifi

    Some heating is normal when in use. It's only abnormal if it gets too hot to hold in your hand. If it's in a case, take it out, and move it to a cooler environment. If it gets to be a big concern, make an appointment at a Genius Bar to have it evaluated.

  • New 5k iMac track pad very sensitive can it be changed

    New iMac track pad very sensitive,
    Can it be changed?
    I slowed the arrow speed down, that did not help.
    The problem appears to be that when I scroll  over a link or item it either goes to the link or opens a box to request an action be taken.
    If this is normal does the magic mouse have the same sensitivity?

    Look in System Preferences - Trackpad for the settings,  if you find it too sensitive then you should uncheck the "Tap to Click" box.

  • Using power adaptor charger while playing iPod

    I have a charger for my iPod Mini. I think it's called a "USB-based power adaptor." When I got it about a year ago it cost about $20. Uses a cable for the iPod into it and then plugs into a standard outlet.
    I am also able to run my iPod through one of my more high-end stereo systems. A great advantage, particularly for "home recording," to listen and get full stereo sound.
    The question is:
    Can I use the charger adaptor while the iPod is playing? Either through the stereo system or using the iPod just by itself?
    It would seem that should be no problem. Wouldn't it be the same principle as using an iPod "dock?"
    If I can do this, the nice thing would be that I could keep my iPod fully charged while playing. Either through the stereo system or playing just the iPod alone.
    Could any harm be done by doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In theory, it shouldn't do any harm. The reason I added the qualifier is that its possible that a non-Apple charger could in some way, not be quite up to spec and could behave oddly. Of course, Apple chargers can go bad, too. iPods will stop accepting a charger once they are fully charged. I have used chargers while my iPod has been connected to speakers with no difficulty and no harm to the iPod.

  • I have just rebuilt my Macbook pro and I use a mouse which plugs in. Since the rebuild it will not perform an open instruction, or the track pad either, which it use to do. Anyone any ideas

    Since I installed a clean rebuild of my system my track pad and mouse will not open a folder or file using a double click. I have to use Apple key plus O. I have checked the preferences but cannot see anything that will help me.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

    Hello folks.  Am new to the community.  Asked a question but didn't go through.
    Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac.  I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
    It froze up after several hours.  Is it ok to use both together?  I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
    stuff is easier on the track pad.
    Thanks for your help.

    That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

  • Can i use track pad and mouse when using two displays

    I have a second display I wonder if I can use my mouse for the other display and my track pad for my macbook pro.
    if not what will be the solution.
    ps: my second display is a tv.

    Although Apple has enabled multiple Finder and Dock display functionality as an option within Mission Control preferences, there is no means to assign pointing devices to different displays.
    I have two Apple devices: Magic Trackpad and Mouse. One mouse pointer is allocated to both devices regardless which screen I am using. That's the way it is.

  • Use power adaptor or battery

    When to use which (Macbook Pro)?  Use the battery at all times and drain then recharge or just when an outlet is not available? 

    That was copied and pasted from the article named above under the sub heading "Standard Maintenance".  I did read that.  But that does not really describe how I use the computer.  I do not travel with it much.  I use it more like a desktop.  I purchased the notebook because of it's small footprint and portability.  I use it in various places around the home on a daily basis.  Wherever I am there is an electrical outlet handy.  If I follow the principal of discharging and recharging once per month then I would be using the power adaptor almost constantly.  Is this truly recommended?

  • Using power adaptor plugs with iBook charger

    I bought the iPod USB Power adaptor from Singapore and it came with a power adaptor plug that is used in the States. Can I use that plug and slot it into my iBook charger? Will it work? I've tried putting it in and the connection's fine but it doesn't look like a perfect fit externally.

    967/3413
    Hi Ernest,
    Three criteria must be respected:
    1) Voltage and Power compatibility:
    The electrical specs on the iPod USB Power adaptor must match the ones that come out of the iBook charger. (you may need a magnifying glass, but they read somewhere, it's the law) Most probably all this stuff is International 100-240V/50-60Hz, but you must make sure.
    However the Amperes (or the Watts) values often differ, so watch this carefully.
    2) No loose contact:
    Although shapes can look weird, if at least contacts are always touching tightly, that's fine.
    3) Security:
    If you can see enough metal for the cat to put her nose on it... ... ...
    Another solution is to warn the cat
    --> Find a shape adapter if electrical specs match:
    Adapters are not all multiple, expensive devices. Find a cheap one that fits only between Singapore and the US.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using power adaptors interchangeably

    Is it Ok to use the same power adaptor/power brick with i books and powerbooks. I have several laptops, can I just interchange the power adaptors?
    thank you joanlvh

    Check out this thread: Ned Snowing, "65 W versus 45 W power adapter ?" #1, 10:12am Aug 5, 2005 CDT
    You can do it, but it's not recommended.

  • Mouse is very laggy while using trackpad, but click and right click are not

    This problem started yesterday.  While using the trackpad, the mouse became very laggy.  I stopped to see if a few minutes would help fix the problem, but the mouse kept moving sporadically.  I can click and right click fine and with no lag, but the mouse is either non responsive or extremely laggy.  The problem was infrequent at first, but now it is almost constantly there.  I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX version 10.5.8.

    Use the Toshiba application installer to reinstall the Touchpad driver.
    To find it search your laptop for Toshiba application installer and run it is will download and install all your drivers.

  • Trouble using Power Adaptor to charge iPad2

    The 10W USB Adaptor supplied with my iPad2 doesn't seem to work  When I plug it in (using a UK plug which it slots into) it does not charge the iPad.  I have another plug which the USB cable slots into, and when the iPad is connected to a power socket via this plug, it charges but the plug gets hot very quickly.  Is this OK?  I don't like to leave it plugged in this way for too long, so it will take ages to charge it fully.  Do you have to use the USB Adaptor supplied - is it the best way to charge?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
