Trackpad 1 finger not working

Hello,
I noticed something really strange going on. At the moment if i use 1 finger on my trackpad it will register my mouse movement but i cant click or tap.
2 - 3 - 4 finger gestures do work so the hardware is not failing but i think the software is....
Any solution to this problem?

Tap to click - check
dragging - check
drag lock - uncheck
secondary click - uncheck
two-fingers - all checked
three - all checked
four - all checked
Also what i noticed when i move my mouse over my adium contact list i dont see a popup window of extra details of that person. Also i cannot tap/click it either. Two fingers works fine but then i get the menu
[edit]
A new thing just happend. 2 fingers dont work. 3 fingers is now the two finger function. Thus 3 fingers for scrolling...

  • Multi-touch trackpad is not working correctly anymore

    My multi-touch trackpad is not working - it stops working after the first 10 seconds.
    It is since today.
    After reboot it works for the first 10 seconds - then it is like it needs to have a few seconds for reaction.
    Any idea for the permanent blocking of the cursor?

    That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
    Thanks!

  • Horizontal trackpad scrolling not working

    Just got a new MacBook (white, 2.1GHz, OS 10.5.6) and am getting used to it. But I have discovered that the horizontal two-finger scrolling on the trackpad does not work. (I know how this is supposed to work, 'cause it worked fine on my old 1.83GHz MacBook).
    I know about the button in the trackpad control panel. If it's checked, attempts to scroll horizontally result in strange vertical scrolling. If it's unchecked. vertical scrolling returns to normal.
    Any help?

    Any way to intentionally disable it? Can you recall that program now? I want to buy it.
    I cannot stand horizontal scrolling and gesture resizing in Safari. You used to be able to turn horizontal scrolling in 10.5.4.
    I just find every time I scroll down a webpage or document, my hand must lean a little to the right and I end up not being able to read the document or page.
    Is ANNOYING!
    (To me at least.)

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

  • My mac fall and now the trackpad is not working?

    So today my macbook fall and the bottom left part of the trackpad is not working . I can still move the cursor, but if I click on the bottom left corner of the trackpad, I cannot tap the other trackpad part, it will not respond. To make it respond again, I need to click on the bottom right corner of the trackpad,  so I can tap the other trackpad parts. In short, I must TAP to click, I can't click on the bottom left corner. The secondary click (bottom right corner or two fingers tap) works fine.
    There's no Apple Store in my city (or even country, I live in Indonesia), I just have an Apple Reseller on my city. What do I need to do?

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

  • Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all.

    Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all. Need suggestions to resolve this issue?  I have applied all Mac updates and still having problems with the trackpad.

    The machine has a 1 year warranty, book an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at.
    You can try doing a SMC reset however I don't think that is the solution.
    SMC RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    • On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-• Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    • Release the keys.

  • My trackpad is not working in bootcamp 4.0 with windows 7

    I just purchased an iMac and upgraded to Lion.  I then created a bootcamp partician and installed Windows 7 Professional.  Everything went smoothly until the trackpad driver was installed.  It failed.  The trackpad will not work.  I have tried to add it through the Bluetooth interface, but I get the eternal circle of **** from Microsoft...Not much of an improvement on the old hourglass of ****.  Anyway, please help get this driver updated for bootcamp so I can use my trackpad.

    I think that has always been a problem at times. though surprised.
    I would assume disabling and then reinstalling or along those lines.
    Uninstall the driver Apple has or see if you can "rollback" in Device Manager.
    Startup items from msconfig would be one place.
    I assume you can do a safe boot / boot from Windows DVD and restore to point prior to this / if you have Snow Leopard use 3.0 thru 3.2 drivers instead

  • My trackpad is not working properly already. Is it eligible for replacement?

    My trackpad is not working properly sometimes and it takes too long for my macbook to open

    Whether your MacBook is legible for a replacement depends on the products warranty...
    When did you purchase the product? Was it a new purchase or a second-hand purchase?

  • My trackpad is not working it moves the arrow but I cannot click on anything or drag anything

    My trackpad is not working on my MacBook pro. I can get the arrow to move but I cannot open files or drag files when I click.

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

  • My trackpad is not working. Any help?

    This morning my iMac alerted me to change my batteries, which I have done. However, the Trackpad is not working. It is not a problem with the Bluetooth because my keyboard is working just fine. After restarting the computer, I tried turning on the trackpad. The green light did not flash. The Bluetooth Assistance did turn on, however. I cannot access it for obvious reasons. Is there anyway I can set up the Bluetooth using my keyboard?
    I have an old wireless mouse that i used on a computer I owned about four years ago. Will that work?
