Trackpad: cursor doesn't function

Occasionally, after waking up from sleep, the cursor cannot be moved. Sometimes, and after some time, fuctioning coming back gradually.
Remedies welcome!

Thanks Seventy One.
I think I've got everything set up ok - but I'll check. With regards shutting down/putting to sleep - I live in the UK, so things like plumbing and electricals are not what you'd call advanced. When asleep, the computer will suddenly wake up if the kettle turns off (sometimes) or if various other electrical appliances turn on or off. I think the electrical bloke refered to it as 'leakage current'. The result being, I'd waltz upstairs and discover that my computer was on when it shouldn't be. Need a surge protector I think - but again, this is the UK; things don't seem to work how they should.
Any road, I'll check my settings. Nice talking to you.
Cheers!

  • Trackpad, Cursor issues

    MacBook Pro circa 12/2009  - 13"
    Just started.... only left side of trackpad clicks - when I type in documents and email the cursor moves .. For example if I try to type "the dog eat the cat" --- it will come out differently each time but something like  " he god act the" 
    Also when I try to move the cursor to cut and paste - it picks up everything off the page
    when try to scroll down a page it - copies everything
    alread reset PRAM 
    advice needed - trying to get this message was a great feat
    thank ouy

    Hi, I believe I'm having the same problem as you, Zaby, with the jumpy keyboard / letters / unexpected insertion points. Creating any document on my 2008 MacBook, including in email, I'll be typing and after a dozen or so keystrokes, the letters randomly fly to a line somewhere above and the sentence continues there. Sometimes this overwrites previous sentences (argh!) and sometimes things are suddenly highlighted and overwritten, gone! Spontaneous combustion. (Apple Z restores but it's a horrendously frustrating process.) Then I have to go to the lines above and drag the middle of the sentence back to where it started. And repeat.
    There's no discernable pattern. I tried making the lines very short because it happens somewhere into a line but this doesn't always work due to the randomness. Maddening!
    My thumbs stay off the trackpad.
    When I brought this problem to the Genius Bar, they pointed out that I had a "Crackpad" (which I had figured was normal wear and tear) and told me there's a quiet recall of the cracked keyboard/mouse/trackpad part. They said this could fix the problem. If not, the next step would be repairs to some cable beneath the keyboard costing $500 -- some kind of shorting between the trackpad, cursor and keys type deal.
    So the top of the MacBook was made new again (which also fixed my "white key syndrome").
    Problem with insertion points persists... up to now?
    I've been reading the Forums for about an hour to find suggested solutions to this issue not costing $500. The problem is not so well documented (that's why I'm going into great detail). Aside from reinstalling SMS (?) and PRAM there was no consensus on why this happens or how to fix it. HOWEVER I just followed a suggestion to go into System Preferences and click "ignore random input" in the Trackpad section. I also slowed down the keystroke rate and the repeat rate in the Keyboard preference.
    Suddenly I'm able to type this at my normal speed without the flying letters! I know this doesn't work for everyone and I'm quite skeptical that this will last more than an hour. But if the fix was that easy I'll be thrilled.
    cheers

  • I have updated my mac pro to os mavericks but now my mouse doesn't function like before

    ? have updated my mac pro to os mavericks but now my mouse doesn't function like before. Any suggestions pls?

    My magic track pad works fine, the magic mouse cursor stayed in the central part of the screen and would only move up and down on a slight diagonal.  I went into system preferences/mouse/more gestures and disabled all swipes.  Problem solved.

  • Question about cursors in a function and how to return the results

    Hi all,
    Some tech info:
    I'm using Oracle 11G database and APEX 4.0.2.00.06
    I use three cursors in a function. My function is called in an APEX standard report, like this by example:
    SELECT fnc_exp(tab.arg1, tab,arg2) FROM table_exp tab;
    My question is: how can I return the values calculated from my function to a standard APEX report? Before, this function was used like this by Oracle Forms to fetch the cursors in the right table columns:
    open c_a;
    fetch c_a into :loc.arg1;
    close c_a;
    open c_b;
    fetch c_b into :loc.arg2, :loc.arg3, :loc.arg4, :loc.arg5;
    close c_b;
    Thanks for your advices!
    Maybe my solution is not right, if you have better ideas, please suggest :)
    PS: If you need more details, please ask which you need.

    Hi,
    I don't think you can do exactly like that in APEX.
    Go for a pipelined function if you want the value be returned from the function.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default position.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default button. I made sure it was newly recognized (by unchecking and rechecking) in
    Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Snap To: Automatically move pointer to a default button in a dialog box > Apply > OK
    But the Fox isn't cooperating. How do I get this working again?

    I'm afraid I don't understand how your reply relates to my problem. I'll type the words I don't understand in your answer:
    "default dialog button" (where do you find this?)
    "mouse middle-click button" (I have a wheel)
    "Global default" I don't know what that is, so, apparently, it doesn't apply to me.
    "IntelliMouse" I don't have this either, just an old, dumb "Dell mouse" ;-)
    "dialog box" is that what I'm hoping the cursor will be moved to? If so, how do I get it to move there on it's own? What's the purpose of "Snap to" if I have to move the cursor there myself?

    As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.
    -Powerbook User

    The PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
    EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle:

  • I'm having problem with text boxes.  Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line.  Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.

  • I noticed in Firefox that my cursor doesn't change to let me know a button is clickable (button mode) in flash sites, why?

    I noticed that in the new version of Firefox that my cursor doesn't indicate when a button, in flash, is clickable. In other browsers, the cursor changes from the standard arrow to the hand with a finger.

  • Cursor doesn't change to bush when using brush adjustment

    I'm running into an issue when I using the brush adjustment in LR 5.5. The cursor doesn't change from the pointer to the brush cursor. Does any one have a fix for this? I'm running the latest version of LR. I have an 2011 iMac running OS 10.9.4 Any help to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Same thing here. I also find that Apple Mail is the most frequent offender. Still, like you have mentioned, it is not limited just to mail. This was not a problem for me in Mountain Lion. However, I am noticing that this is a problem for users as far back as 2006 and for every OS release since. It seems that this is not a OS- specific issue. Or if it is, Apple hasnt addressed it in 6 OS releases. This seems like it would be an easy fix. Pretty annoying that it doesnt "just work," right?

  • TS1717 I have exclamation marks (!) which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan had started which I cancelled.  Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks anyone know how to fix it?

    I have exclamation marks at the beginning of the titles which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan started which I then cancelled as it was slowing down my download. Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks and now these tunes are not transferrable and I've lost them in my music file on the ipod nano and so cannot reload them again. Anyone know how to remove the !!!'s or clean my files?

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed..
    Usually the actual music files are still there, so you need to check to see if you can find them.
    If they are there, open iTunes and select a problem track, right click and select Get Info.
    Answer NO when asked if you want to locate the track.
    Now you should see where iTunes thinks the tack is located on the summary tab, how does this compare with where the track actually is.
    This info should help work out what has gone wrong.

  • Event clips playback doesn't function anymore

    2 FCP X anomalies -
    OK, here goes...this is a two-parter but the first is not such a big deal from a working pov -
    1. once I place a clip on the timeline, the graphic disappears. It's not an impediment to working on the video, because I'm not really using that to look at the clip, right? but it's not the way things are supposed to be.
    2. The next problem is bigger, I can't view clips in the event viewer anymore. The cursor doesn't move, hitting l or j or / or the > button, nothing happens. The only way to view the clip is to pull the cursor across it (not very good) or drop it on the timeline and crop it there (really not good). This is not how it's supposed to work!
    I reinstalled FCP X, updated all my software and for about 1 minute, it worked correctly again, couldn't use the keyboard, but at least the > button worked. Then it just stopped working again.
    Does this sound like anything anyone's come across before?
    Thanks.
