Trackpad click not as sensitive after service

Hi there, just had the logic board replaced in my mid-2010 MBP, and I find now that the trackpad click is not as sensitive, it works about 90% of the time, but the 10% is quite frustrating. Even with the audible click, sometimes it doesn't register, and I need to hold it with more pressure. Is this something that they could have modified accidentally during re-construction of the mac body after logic board replacement?

There are times when I can play with my 3gs for long periods of time without a problem.  Other times, it only takes a few seconds for the screen to stop responding.  Pressing the sleep (?) button on the top right a couple of times (on, off) brings it back on...  but only for a few seconds.  I'm wondering if iCloud has anything to do with this....  and/or the network connection.  I was thinking perhaps it fails when I'm no edge and not WiFi.

  • 2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

    I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
    Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything.  I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way.  The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
    I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
    I tried deleting  com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist   and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
    Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

    I started having the same issue after update.  I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
    ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working.  Two days later problem was back.  I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working.  Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep.  I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click.  Please help. I can not use the Mac  with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working.  One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works.  Help!

  • Trackpad will not select user after Mac restart

    Trackpad works fine normally but after restart of Mac, will not click on user (cursor moves over it) so I have to use a mouse to click & enter password.  All software is up to date.  Any ideas.

    The following was suggested on another thread but I've tried it & it doesn't solve the issue:
    System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click
    Tap to click
    Secondary click
    Uncheck the boxes to it  if they are checked and recheck them back.
    Any other ideas?

  • 13in. 2008 trackpad click not working

    The physical click on my trackpad is not working. Cleaned it thoroughly, tried removing the battery (bloating) and that did not work. Any thoughts? Things I shoud try? Thank you.

    With the glass buttonless trackpad that the model 6,1 Late 2009 has you need to have the Tap To Click box checked in System Preferences>Trackpad http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3211

  • Trackpad click not working properly

    Hey, I've had my Macbook 1.83ghz for like 6 or 7 months now and I haven't had any major problems up until now.
    The Trackpad clicker has recently began to 'stick', it's hard to explain but it doesn't respond as it used to and it takes quite a heavy push now for it to respond, so it's pretty much impossible for me to drag files and work in Photoshop.
    I did quite a bit of Googling to try and find similar problems but I only found this solution of using paper to fix it, which didn't work for me.
    I noticed a recent post here concerning the recent Battery Update, I thought that might have been the problem I had but it seems it's not as I've just taken on the battery whilst running through the cable. Still getting the problem.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The best way is to phone AppleCare and ask (UK tel. 0870-876-0753), but otherwise, take it in to any authorised Apple repair centre.
    Here's the UK retail store details. Try a search for Apple authorised re-sellers throughout the UK too, assuming that's where you are. All the official Apple retail stores, and all the officially authorised re-sellers (I think) can do the repair for you under warranty.
    If you're outside the UK, search the Apple site for info for your area.
    Cheers,
    Rhys

  • Trackpad click not working after Mountain Lion update

    I updated computer in question, a 2009 MacBook, to Mountain Lion today, and it appeared to work.  It installed, then I was prompted with a log-in screen. I entered my Apple ID and password, but was unable to click go. Easily hit enter instead; this worked.  The next screen, however is a Terms and Conditions one with only the options of "Back" and "Next." I cannot click on either of these.  The mouse moves around perfectly when I use the track pad, but I am unable to choose anything by clicking and therefore cannot get past this screen and to my computer. Any help?? Thank you!

    According to the Dymo Technical Support page for that model:
    MACINTOSH
    DYMO Label Software version 8.4.1
    New In This Release:
    - Latest version of DYMO Label™ software - Free download
    - QR and PDF options have been added to the available barcode list.
    - Minor bugs were fixed.
    - Support for Mac OS® v10.8 Mountain Lion
    Have you installed the driver version 8.4.1 as mentioned above?
    Hope this helps

  • Trackpad Still not working right after replacement

    I've recently been having issues with my trackpad on my Macbook Pro, i took it to the apple store last week and they replaced it due to it not registering physical clicks what so ever. However, although a new trackpad was issued/replaced and the problem is slightly better, the trackpad is still not working/registering physical clicks in several areas, anyone got any tips? I also can't really afford to go back to the store again at the moment, however i do have Apple Care which may open more windows for me?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    If no joy, call Apple on the phone and tell them the situation. They will try to troubleshoot it over the phone and should be able to advise you as to what to do.
    Good luck!

  • Trackpad clicking not accepted

    I have a Macbook Pro.  I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have not installed any new software.  My trackpad cursor will register movement but will not accept click.
    I have tried a different user but had the same problem. 
    Has anybody heard of this issue?  I live almost 2 hours away from the nearest Apple Store, that is the bare minimum. 
    Lisa

    On both cases, does the trackpad physically click? Do you hear and feel it click as the front edge drops down a few thousands of an inch?
    If the answer is NO and as you feel around the edge you can feel the surface of the trackpad lower at the front than the back edge, then it is stuck. The thing is mounted on a pivot, with the hinge on the rear edge, so it angles down as a microswitch does the click. Unfortunately, the minute gap between the trackpad and the aluminum case is open to any debris that may lodge in there.
    So grab a flashlight and a magnifying glass and inspect the separation between the two. First you'll see that it is stuck in the down position and hopefully you will see where the contamination got lodged. Can try to dislodge by using one of those compressed air "dusters" sold at office supplies. If that doesn't work, can try a "wet approach" with a can of high quality electronic contacts cleaner: just be sure to do the blasting with the Mac UPSIDE DOWN so the fluid won't go down into the guts of the computer. Someone else can help holding the Mac while you go at it with the can.
    Or take it to the Store and hope the Geniuses live up to their moniker.

  • Glass trackpad : click not working

    Hi,
    today the clicking function (tapping works fine) of my mutitouch glass trackpad stopped working. I wasn't updating anything or doing anything risky of some sort... Just typing in Word.
    In Windows XP (boot camp), the click doesn't work either. (but tapping works fine also)
    I did a reset of the SMC firmware, without any result...
    I was wondering if someone had this issue? Or do you think this is a hardware failure and should i take it to an Apple store?
    many thanks,
    Bert

    Sorry for my English, I'm from Spain.
    I think that the preferences of your trackpad have been desconfigurated. Try to go to the system preferences panel, and just select all the options that you had previously to the problem, if it doesn't work, you can use your guarantee or you Apple care protection plan.
    You can also visit an apple store.
    I hope your problem would be solved.

  • IPOD STILL NOT WORKING EVEN AFTER SERVICE

    Hi,
    I can't belive this. I sent my ipod off for service because my ipod had a problem with its battery. The ipod would cut off when the indicator showed 1/2 full this happened about an hour into play. Yes the battery life was only about an hour.
    So when i got it back I was so glad but I've just been using it and the problem still persists. I have tried the battery test and the ipod fails this test.
    I cannot understand why apple has sent me my ipod back unchanged. I paid £180 for my first generation mini and at the moment it is almost useless as I have to constantly charge the battery up.
    Can anyone give me some advise??? Thank You For Your Time

    Did you get an email adress or phone numer for someone to complain too? I got 2 ipods. One broke sometime ago and we go a replacment and now both of them are broken. (Its not my PC, I use a Sony MP3 and it works fine). It is the lack of customer service that is bugging me. I have been trying to call Apple or an Apple store for days. Totally rubbish. My daughter threw her ipod out today!!! If you get a UK phone number or amail address please let me know. Cheers

  • Trackpad do not work properly after migration data from old imac to new macbook pro

    After migration all my Data from my old imac to my new macbook pro (both running on OS Maverick) with migration assistant, the trackpad of the new macbook pro doesn´t work properly any more.
    But the trackpad had worked properly before the data migration!
    But now the trackpad feature of scrolling up and down with two fingers doesn´t work. (Other features are ok.)
    I have tried to change the trackpad settings, but still doesn´t work.
    Can anyone help me???

  • Trackpad clicks not registering in XP on Unibody MacBook

    I bought a MacBook 2.4 GHz yesterday, and have installed XP SP3 on it with the latest Boot Camp drivers, including the Trackpad Update (without which the trackpad was completely useless).
    In MacOS, the trackpad works well, with clicks being detected anywhere on the bottom half of the pad. But in XP, the only way to get a click to be detected reliably is to press the very centre of the trackpad. Clicking the bottom left corner (where your thumb naturally ends up) results in maybe 1 click in 5 being detected. This makes the trackpad pretty much useless under XP for dragging, as you are holding the centre of the pad and then run out of room to move your fingers.
    I haven't seen any other reports of this problem, but I have to say it is a deal-breaker for me - if the primary interface device is any less than perfect, a PC is unusable.
    Has anyone else seen a trackpad which is unresponsive to clicks in XP, but fine in MacOS? The fact that it works in MacOS suggests it's a driver issue rather than a problem with my hardware.

    Just a little more information: I reset PRAM yesterday to see how long it would take for the "lost click" problem to recur. The reset cleared up the problem, but the issue recurred within a couple of hours of very intermittent use (that is, a few minutes of use, sleep, wake, a few minutes of use, repeat).

  • Mouse & Trackpad cursor not showing up after sleep (MBP)

    This is happening more consistently and its getting frustrating. When waking my MacBook Pro from sleep, the cursor doesn't appear. I can tell its moving around, but no cursor is visible. Unplugging and replugging the mouse in doesn't help on either USB port. Force-quiting the finder doesn't work either.
    Anyone experiencing this? I searched a bit, but didn't see a similar issue listed, although there seem to be plenty of other waking issues.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Unfortunately I am at work right now and can't try any of them yet. Here is some more info about my system. I am anxious to get home and try to resolve this issue.
    I recently bought this system used. The previous owner stated there were no problems with it. As soon as I received it, I upgraded to 10.5.2, so I don't know if it was doing this before then. I do have an external hard drive attached via FireWire (not USB). The only other things attached to this system is the monitor, keyboard/mouse and a printer.
    Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the insight!

  • My trackpad click is not working correctly

    Hello
    My trackpad click not working very well. the click only work when press in the centre area of the trackpad which make it difficult to click so now I enable tap touch to make click. I got used to touch tap but if you want to drag something it is annoying.
    anyway, is my trackpad is damaged or software problems ?
    how can I fix it ? 
    I don't have Apple insurance Can I bring it to the Apple store ? Can I buy AppleCare now ?
    I got the latest MacBook

    If your MacBook was bought less than 12 months ago it's still under the 1 year warranty. You can only buy the AppleCare warranty extension before the original warranty runs out.
