Trackpad not tracking finger movement

The trackpad on my MacBook Pro does not track my finger movement. The screen moves in the opposite direction of my finger movements. I have tried correcting this by going into System Preferences/Trackpad, but I can't seem to correct this. Help!

go back into trackpad settings under "Scroll and Zoom" and uncheck "Scroll Direction:natural ".

After Yosemite Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow Click

Track pad moves the cursor but will NOT allow click after a period of usage. After Forced reboot track pad works fine for a few hours. This started within hours of installing Yosemite. Help, I am afraid I will lose a document during reboot. So far I have been lucky and have not lost data.
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) SSD

Could be many things, we should start with this...
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change on reboot?

Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

Installing Mountain Lion on MBP is not a wise move?

Hello everyone,
I installed mountain lion on my MBP 2010 only to found that typing response and track pad response is notable sluggish. If i left my trackpad not active for 5 seconds, it takes something like 3 secs to response to my finger tapping. The typing is seems lagging for 2 secs post punching any button. If anyone found the solutions to problems above, please share with me. At some point i felt lost faith to Mac. The dismise of late Steve Job definitely affect performance of mac inc. Truely, regretted for being loyal to Mac. I guess time to change to new product. From samsung perhaps?

I recently restored my 2009 macbook to factory settings and now its stuck on the welcome screen where u choose your country. My trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when I tap on it to select continue it does nothing at all. The only thing else it will allow me to do is go thru the voice over tutorial by pressing escape. Please help me fix this I need to use my computer.

Hi, teezbreezy64.
I found a couple of resources to help troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. The first is this article named Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248.
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend resetting the SMC on your computer. Here is an article on how to do that:

Magic Trackpad not fully functional

Magic Trackpad not working (4 finger swipe) after downloading an update to Lion. Whats happened?

exactly same issue here, 5k retina With i7 and 295. chatted online with apple support and they can't figure out the problem. Maybe its a common problem with retina iMac? Also, i tried bt headphone, the sound quality is terrible, definitely something wrong with bt in the imac
btw, if you figure out a solution, definitely tell me please.

Newly bought imac 27 desktop not responding, cursor moves only.

My setup did not go well as I was stuck in VoiceOver mode. Command f5 got me out of it but cannot do anything on the desktop, track pad moves cursor but by taping on it the icons do not respond. I am new to apple products, used to windows 7 pc.
Can anyone help me to get started as the computer looks great to use.
Thanks for any help.

if it have a problem then you should
try holding in the power button on the left lower corner on the back untill it turn off
and then turn it on again
then you start with a clean slate

How to stop Health from tracking my movements?

Description of the problem
iOS Health App constantly tracks my movements, which includes how many flights of stairs I've been walking, how far I've been jogging etc. I know how to erase the current data, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to turn it off permanently. However, I can't see any option to do this. ime of occurrence
Sources
None (Apart from my iPhone, which is displayed as "Waghfeldt's iPhone")
Time of occurrence
Always
What I've tried
- Disabled all location services
- Deleted "Sleep Cycle" as I found out it might be the problem, since it's counting steps - however, this didn't resolve the issue
What I've achieved so far
Nothing. As soon as I move, iPhone starts counting steps. When in the Health app, I can see the numbers rising "live".

I understand completely. As the first time this happened to me I was upset too.
However, though to you music and movies should be designated as separate processes. This is not the case.
Music and movies are alway synched together.
My suggestion manually drag and drop your movies to your ipod the same way you do your music. Synching is only useful to those that have their library stored only on one computer.
If you have multiple computers, or multiple drives for your moble, that you want to use as library sources. Always manual synch music and movies as well as TV shows etc.
Podcasts are best handled through synching, so choose one computer to be your podcast synch.

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched.
Try turning off your Bluetooth mouse or other nearby devices, especially if you find the cursor on your screen jumps or moves without the trackpad being touched. The cursor may also act strangely when the trackpad is touched.
The closest I found to a solution was in an old support article from March 2009 (TS1449), but it was through pure luck and MacGuyverism that I figured out my wireless Mighty Mouse was still on, nearby and thought it might be interfering with the signal to/from the Magic Trackpad. Sure enough. Turned it off and the problem instantly went away! Turned it on and the problem came back. Not sure if more distance would make a difference, but I saw no need for both on my desk anyway.

I have the same issue, but my mouse is turned off. I put the pad off to the side just to make sure. I just tried removing my mouse from the Bluetooth preferences. I've never had trouble with the mouse jumping before, but I do with the Magic Trackpad.

IPhone is frozen. Screen does not register sliding movements.

Recently my iPhone has not been working. First it is not registering my movements, as in the sliding/pressing of my finger is not working. I tried to restart it by pressing the turn off/on button as well as the home button at the same time and now it is stuck on the sign off screen with the red slider. I cannot get it off this screen and the screen stays on. I tried hooking my iPhone up to my PC to restore it in iTunes but my PC does not register that my iPhone is connected (the icon does not appear), therefore I cannot restore it. I've tried what I can to attempt to get it to work with no avail. There's no way for me to fix the issue that I know of if the phone will not cooperate by itself or with my PC. If anyone has a solution to this problem please let me know, I may just have to go to the Apple Store if not.

Hello there, inhoc478.

IPOD DOES NOT FOLLOW FINGER ACTIONS IN DIFFERENT GAMES LIKE JELLY SPLASH

transparant cover removed no significant improvement.
ipod does not follow exactly my finger movement.
this does not happen permanently some times the ipod works ok, somte times not.

Make sure the screen is clean
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Mouse not tracking accurately

My mouse is not tracking accurately. At first i thought it was the wireless mouse i purchased as an "upgrade" but that was so horrible i went to the store to buy a wire mouse. It is better, but still not very accurate. I can only determine there is something wrong with my mouse driver. I did the apple chat thing and the guy had me remove two files (which by the way never returned even though the said they would)
I still have the problem. I have now spent $90 on two Apple mice and i cant stand to use my brand new computer.
Ive tried to adjust it through the mouse preferences it and it still isnt accurate. Ive tried it on different surfaces and it still is not accurate. ON my wood desk, it wont track hardly at all it jumps around a lot. On my mouse pad, it tracks but just isnt accurate.
The issue here is that using my computer is very frustrating. When i move my mouse to land on a small check box for example, i must repeatedly move it over until it lands there. I cant manuever fast. It takes me multiple tries to land on a small item, such as the blue scroll bar on the side of web pages.
HELP!!!!

Matt,
I had the exact same problem after I purchased a new wood desk. Apparently an optical mouse has problems tracking on certain wood grain and reflective surfaces. I purchased a new Logitech MX1000 Lazer Mouse and it works perfectly ! Perfect, accurate tracking and movement.
This may be your issue. Unfortunately the mouse is $79.00 at local stores. I found it on Amazon for about $56.

How to match sound track to movie pictures? (the sound track is shorter)

I have a sound (narrative) track of approx 1 hr which talks about the movie film. However the film I have, is a slightly different version, that is about 10 min longer then the sound track and I would like to restore the match, e.g. by something like cutting the sound track and inserting blanks, or cutting and moving the sound a couple of seconds. Note I'm totally new to Premiere V 10. I presume I would have to use start and end marks in the sound track and place the subsequent sound parts on a new sound (or narrative?) track (but it seems I will need to introduce additional silent parts, I cannot just move (drag?) the next sound track a couple of seconds to the left.
I would guess there are a couple of easy tricks to achieve my goal.
Thank you in advice.
Rob Tausk

Well well: not easy nor trivial at all, but I haven’t given up as yet! I’ll describe my workflow below.
1.       Play video fragment, and comparing film picture and sound estimate position where I need to introduce a silent period and it length.
2.       By double click play sound “comment track” on the monitor and set end stop (I would actually prefer if the sound track could be zoomed to more easily/accurately find best position)
3.       Play mute sound clip in preview and set time length with end stop and close preview
4.       Move mute clip to comment track, which has been shortened in step 2
5.       Play main sound clip in Preview and set start point
6.       Move this sound clip to comment track.
But sometime things go slightly wrong, e.g. when moving mute or sound fragment to “comment track” I find that the video track cuts (not intended)
Another difficulty I still need to master is related to the phenomena you mentioned before, related to moving sound clips, parts which were before the starting point show up (e.g. drag edges).
I hope you can roughly follow my explanatory story (I realise writing such workflow is difficult and critically depends on the same use of words concepts definitions and jargon (note my Adobe Premiere Elements is in Dutch).
I’d much appreciate your comments (maybe another software would be friendly to the inexperienced senior citizen)
