Trackpad doing it's own thing after upgrade

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro which I updated to Lion yesterday. A few hours after the update my trackpad began dragging, right clicking, jumping, doing gestures when I was just moving the cursor around, using one finger.
Closing the lid, restarting the computer or doing the P+R-thing during startup temporarily makes things normal again, which is why I think it's a software problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
NOTE: I can use a USB-mouse without any problems, it's only the trackpad acting up.

have u had any response? i'm getting the same thing !

On my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse, on my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse

Having trouble with my MacBook Pro and the cursor jumping around and doing it's own thing. Clicking opening up other folders etc.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
5. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
6. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
7. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
8. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?

Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

Reschedule does not update schedule line after upgrade

Dear All,
After upgrade to ECC6.0, the reschedule does not update EKET any more but it update ekpo as usual.I debugged it , before the function module SD_BACKORDER_**_SAVE everything is ok.
I also checked the sap note for the new field in T161V.But When I choose other option about customzing. eket are updated every time when the reschdule program run.This will lead double delivery.
Do you have any suggestion？

BINARY SEARCH does not work as before after upgrade

We recently upgraded from HRSP 26 to HRSP 40 as well as similar upgrades in non-HR areas on our ECC 6.04 system. We've been in SAP since 1998, and have a lot of old custom programs which were written when we were still new at ABAP. In a few, we put records into an internal table sorted the table, maybe added a few more records to the table, and did a READ BINARY SEARCH. Granted, this is not correct, adding records to a table after it is sorted. But these programs have worked for more than 10 years and now, since our upgrade, the READ BINARY SEARCH does not always find a record where it did before the upgrade.
So this is mostly just a heads-up. If you are missing data in reports after upgrading, this might be the issue. Also I am wondering if anyone has experienced this.
Heads-up!
Janice Ishee

Hi Janice,
you did not give any context. Please note that it is a popular error to think that a SELECT statement will fetch data in order of the primary key of the table - although it happens quite frequently. So always first sort, then binary search.
Probably not related to upgrade.

Clemens

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.

Clémentine
That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

IPhone does not work in car after upgrading to os5

After upgrading to os5 my build in hands free device does not work properly anymore, lot of noise, disconnects, connects in general not usable anymore.
How to fix this?

Does your aftermarket solution connect to the Nano's headphone jack or to the dock connector?
If it connects to the headphone jack I would suggest buying an iPhone headphone adapter. I'm expecting mine to arrive via FedEx tomorrow so that I can use my iPhone in the car with a cassette adapter.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto does not recognize iPhoto Library after upgrade

Machine: iMac, OS 10.8.2, iPhoto 9.4.1
Symptoms: After upgrading iPhoto to 9.4.1 I cannot open my iPhoto library of some 30,000 photos. I can see the library in the finder, but iPhoto doesn't want to link to it. It did show in the library pane briefly the Events and Pictures at the full count, but then dropped to zero.
Actions: Opened iPhoto with the OPTION key to specify which library iPhoto should use. Not effective.
Opened iPhoto with the COMMAND AND OPTION keys and ran all actions from repairing permissions, rebuilding thumbnails, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database. Results: 3 Events and 265 Photos. 32,577 photos in Trash.
What steps will restore the Library to its original state? Will this restore meta-data, captions, events, dates, etc?

Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices

Trackpad won't release click immediately after upgrading to 10.6.4

I haven't been having any problems with my 15"MacBook Pro and I Software Updated to 10.6.4 this afternoon. Now within the first 3 or 4 times I click the Trackpad after rebooting it registers the mousedown but refuses to register the mouseup.
Details:
- Using an external mouse is fine until I forget and click the trackpad once. After that no device, trackpad or mouse, will register a click.
- pressing the esc key will release the mousedown, but won't cause any new trackpad or mouse presses to be recognized.
- ONLY the trackpad causes the issue, but once triggered it affects all mouse devices.
- once triggered, putting the computer tom sleep and waking it up does nothing to help the problem, but restarting reliably fixes it until I use the trackpad again.
- switching applications via command-tab works fine, but mouse presses are still unrecognized after doing so.
This is a consistent, reproducible problem that renders my computer unusable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Kevin

I have the same annoying problem, exactly as you describe it. i suspect that the trackpad is broken and I think I had this problem before 10.6.4.
I found today that it is my trackpad that causes this. I normally use an external monitor, mouse or wacom pen and keyboard. Some stuff and papers were laying on my desktop and was over the trackpad and caused it to be activated. Later testing with my fingers on the trackpad cause the same situation as you describe.
Only way to get rid of it is a reboot.

Edit/Display form does not show site columns after upgrade

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/580111d4-72ca-4193-87ab-1dfd6082fa88/document-set-library-column-not-showing-up-on-edit-form
Hi all,
I don't think this is related to the above question, but the linked "solution" is as good as I can come up with, however it looks like its possible that ALL the libraries in the collection are suffering the same situation...
WHATS HAPPENING:
our site was migrated to 2013 from 2010 from 2007 and is running in compatability mode around 6-18 months ago. I'm pretty sure the old system is gone too - database backups might be obtainable... not sure.
There are a bunch of "site columns" that are used consistently across the collections libraries (there seems to be a general avoidance of "content types", don't ask me why, I don't know, I also don't know what would be involved in moving
them all to content types as many of the sites "views and webparts" use the content type columns to surface things all over the place, so I suspect it would be a big job), but folks have recently noticed that some documents are missing from various
pages (webparts that are gathering documents from these columns values).
But the problem is that it seems that since the update most (all?) of the document libraries NO LONGER enforce the requirement and litterally only show "name*", and "title" in display and edit properties...
Any ideas on how to get things back to showing the "proper" forms (I can only guess what this was from documentation and screenshots and general guessing based on the "commonness" of the columns in question)? Or is there a way to merge
or migrate "columns" to content types in some way that is either "collection wide" or non-breaking?
ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated!

So just to be sure are you saying that '2010 compatabilty mode' is causing these issues?
Just to be SUPER clear from my end this is what I'm seeing as an example;
For a collection
with site columns
many but not all lists
many but not all list items
--> are missing valid data in the site columns that have been registered for that list.
sample:
name          modified by    doctype     department
item1.docx   username   <blank> <blank>
item2.docx   username    WorkInstruction    Planning
if you click "edit properties" you are presented with ONLY the (I'm guessing) content types fields (eg: for Document you get Name and Title) and NONE of the other fields that should be specified.
However if you hit "save" you can see that the data in these fields returns to the "list view" (however it does not re-enable these fields from being active in the View/Edit properties pages).
Is this something that can be fixed? Or are you saying that we need to backup the DB and restore to a FULL version (not in compatability mode) of SharePoint2013? Or are you saying we need to revert to our PRE update backup and do something?
Its been many months since thsi upgrade was done and the system has changed a lot, so you can imagine we are reluctant to loose much of these changes...

Oepe claims domain version does not match running server after upgrade

Hi,
we've just upgraded our server and development environment:
OEPE: from 11.1.1.6.1 to 11.1.1.7.2 useing the eclipse update functions (help-> check for updates)
Weblogic 10.3.3.0 to 10.3.5.0 using wls1035_upgrade_generic.jar from oracle support.
The servers seem to run fine and so does eclipse.
I can add the local (upgraded) weblogic devel server to the eclipse server list and deploy jee files. However, the remote server were not validated after the upgrade:
"Oracle Weblogic Server 11gR1 Patchset 4 at [remote host] [Stopped, The domain version does not match the running server.]
Removing and adding the servers again got the same result. The servers are running in development mode and are running. Where is eclipse checking / comparing the versions ?
thanks,
Michael

Hi,
thanks for the replies.
checked the config.xml:
there are two elements domain-version and configuration-version set both of these to 10.3.5.0
I also created a new domain. The config wizard script only gave me the option to create a domain based on 10.3.4.0 but when i went through with the setup the 10.3.5.0 and i could add the server to eclipse.
I cannot add the original domain though i'm now getting the error "The domain path does not match the running server." And i can't say whether this is because i added the new domain or modified the config.xml.
thanks,
michael

[SOLVED]screensaver does it's own thing.

Hi,
I have a minor glitch with gnome screensaver.
I set it to start after 25 mins but if I go off to do something it kicks in after about one minute.
I tried using xscreensavers instead but they either did not start or had a similar problem.
dpms is set to true but putting time value options in did not help.
This is arch 64 bit.
I know it's not bad..I still have a screensaver...
but it would be interesting to discover the cause of this unwanted behaviour.
Gnome power manager doesn't seem to work at all when I tried using that instead.

Hi Nepherte,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried that. The xscreensavers still kicked at the wrong time and also had an error across the top:
'Missing generic event extension on display 0.0'
Which apparently means that my xserver does not have xga support. This should be fixed in the next release of xserver.
I don't suppose it matters if it starts after five mins of inactivity, it might be better for my screen.
Then when another xserver comes along I can use xscreensavers.
There are compiz screensavers but they require something called 'git', which the website said might be unstable.
I could reinstall gnome but it's not worth that just for a screensaver.
It's just that gnome-screensaver has about 4 screensavers and I don't like them.
The other thing I remember is when I uninstalled gnome-screensaver (before all this) there was a warning something about pam.d has been copied.

Can't access certain things after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2 on iPad

Just upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and now, cannot connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, do an iCloud back up, or even open up Facebook for an app. Password is correct. Surely it does not take 12+ hours to update? What gives? Thanks.

Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

Can't set Transition times. iMove does it's own thing random times.

When I try to enter a transition time between clips it may actually change but not to what I had entered. If it changes at all, it tends to be to a random number. I have the preferances set at 3:00 but even this does nothing, the default remains at 0:05 which is vertually no transition.
Can anyone enlighten me? What am I doing wrong ? Has any else had this problem ?

I am interested in knowing where or how you acquired such information. It is a source I obviously need to investigate myself. There must be more unknown hidden gems lerking in there.
oral tradition.
When I started participating here, Karl Petersen was the undisputed iM Mastermind. He knew everything about iM; I never figured out, but I suspect, he was in contact with Randy U's team at Cupertino.
Somehow, we lost him here. I'm not the 'community'-guy, rumors has it, he passed away (not only here).
Second source was/is Daniel Slagle's Unofficial FAQ ... he doesn't maintain it anymore, since the rise of iMovie-b.
Taking a look behind the odds of iM was Lennart Thelander's website (wow, really old school hand-coded!), which listed bugs and gave help for iM-a. Lennart didn't switch to iM-b yet, now avail for about four years - too new for Lennart, too fast development ... so, no news from there.
For sure, David Pogue's Missing Manuals books have to be mentioned ...
In all modesty, I'd like to mention my own websites ... me no engineer, diff. attitude here: Daddy (=me) likes movies and especially special-effects - so, how to accomplish magic with a 12$ app? or, how to modify iDVD to my needs?
We 'combined forces' in the iMovie Output Project when the discussions about interlaced got boring.-
With iM-b coming up, Aaron's Unlocking iMovie is another source for 'tricks' (I'm jealous about his professional design …)
And finally, a while ago I was highly irritated, that FinalCut Pro Mastermind Tom Wolsky joined the 'amateurs party' here, he's a FC/p sensei, usually participating in the pro forums ... that was before iMovie-on-steroids (=FCPX) appeared ... now, I know why he actually published a worth reading book about transition from iM to FCPX
... the rest is ... experience, interest, curiosity, and hours of reading any source, from wikipedia to fcp.co ...
