Trackpad not working correctly in Lion

So been waiting anxiously to download and did so this morning. I cannot get the gestures to work. Is the software not working properly or am I not holding my tongue correctly while using the trackpad on my core 2 duo machine.

Hi,
After installing Lion on MacPro, I had no problems with trackpad, but than it suddenly stopped working. I realized that I have moved my trackpad to close to my MacBook pro and it got paired with it. Once I unpaired the trackpad with MacBook Pro, (in system preferences->Trackpad->Set Up Blootooth Preferences) and paired it with Mac Pro all was fine again. It might not apply to you, but it might help other people.

Trackpad not working correctly.

My mac seems to have been taken over. The trackpad is not working properly and is opening up everything on the desktop. I've connected a wireless mouse via bluetooth and it does the same thing. It's almost as if it's possessed. Please help!

Hi,
is this a Multi-Touch Trackpad on a Late-2008 MacBook ?
Have you tried this Update yet ?

MacBook Pro trackpad not working correctly

The last few days my MacBook Pro track pad is not working properly. For instance the trackpad doesn't click (sometimes on left but not at all on the right side). The mouse clicks on things and drags them, basically is acting very annoying. I've press down on all the corners to make it work and can hear grit sounds under the trackpad e.g. Crumbs, also tried going round all the pad with my nails but not making any difference. I haven't got AppleCare but I bought it January/February

Hi rbarnes1121,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
From what I understand, your trackpad on you MacBook Pro can be erratic and perform commands that you are not meaning for it to perform. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article to help troubleshoot this situation.

Have a great day,

Applescript to create mail is not working correct in Lion

Hi all
When I run this applescript in Lion to send a mail with Apple Mail
tell application "Mail"
          set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Subject text", content:"Content text", visible:false}
          tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
send
          end tell
end tell
It send the mail just fine
Go to Mail and you see it in send items
Now try to close Mail with cmd q and you notice that the mail popup ready to send a second time.
If you hit the send button it will be mailed again and when you use cmd q now it will close Mail.
As far as I know this will not happen in Snow
If it is possible I like to know I I am correct that it is working OK in Snow and that Lion is the problem
Thanks for testing
Regards, Ron de Bruin

I think setting visible always to true will be the solution, but I can't test in Snow anymore.

I load the Retina Macbook and the trackpad not working correctly

When I put the Macbook Retina to load the trackpad starts to fail, generate actions that we did not perform. I noticed that the MegaSafe charger is heating up too much during charging. When I remove the charger from the Macbook trackpad back to work properly.

The charger has to be replaced.

Trackpad not working correctly when plugged into AC power

When i am running on battery, the trackpad is great--when plugged in, it is very flakey, not smooth, sometimes freezing up...all in all pretty frustrating!
I have reset the power management unit, but it did not help.
Comments?
thanks in advance,
Les

Hi Lemenos,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you have any "hacks" installed your iBook? Try going to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter (next to Settings For:) > Processor Performance > Try faster or reduced and see if one works better. What are you doing when this happens? Do you notice any patterns? You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #17228 on Portables: Jumpy or Erratic Trackpad Operation and Knowledge Base Document #58389 on Your PowerBook and iBook's trackpad doesn't respond. Is the wall socket grounded? How can you tell if its electrical or static? What does it feel like? Try touching something metal to ground yourself before touching (bed frame) and see if you still get a shock. You should not get an electric shock from the button, if you do stop touching it. Bring it to your local Apple Store/Reseller.

Trackpad not working correctly on windows xp sp2 with bootcamp2.1

i have installed windows xp sp2 on my macbook and have installed bootcamp 2.1 from the dvd that came along.
now, in the boot camp control panel, secondary clicked is already enabled. however, i am not able to right click either using two fingers or using option+click in windows!
also, using two finger scroll i am able to scroll vertically but not horizontally.

i ran the software update and it had an update for the trackpad. i completed the update and now its working fine.

DVD Drive not working correctly after Lion install

Lion is doing something strange to the DVD drive in my Mac Pro. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just freezes up apps that are associated with it (such as finder, disk utility etc). The only way to eject is a reboot. It will not read the contents in this scenerio.
I have tried different DVDs, repairing permissions - everything you can think of. I am 99% confident this is somehow related to a bug in Lion.
Anyone else have a similar issue?

I may have found it.
I use Kepler 64b and I do have an Apple 1.6 JDK installed in the JavVirtualMachines folder.
Below is my copy of /Applications/eclipse kepler/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini

You may notice the line that says “-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6”. I dont know if that is significant but our two systems are subtly different.

The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

Hello,
After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly. I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff

I am having the same problem now.
Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
Now I have lost function in Spaces.
Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
Now just run everything in one Space.

Installed new trackpad...not working correctly

Hi,
I just installed a new trackpad and it is not working correctly. The tap to click is not working and it takes extra pressure to even move the tracking arrow. Any ideas?

I have an Apple Magic Trackpad I purchased November 2013. Since upgrading to 10.9 (Maverick) my trackpad will just stop. My current workaround: turn my Magic Mouse back on (I set it aside in favor of the trackpad), and my trackpad comes back to life. I turn off the mouse, and the trackpad continues ... for now.
Strange, and I have no other answers for you.

My trackpad is not working correctly. Cursor not moving as desired. Not related to water

Trackpad not working. Not related to moisture etc. Moves independently and switches between screens without prompt.

Hello Rosanne,
It certainly can be inconvenient and frustrating when your trackpad is acting erratically. I recommend reviewing the following article for an issue like this:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Magic Mouse not working correctly??

I just installed the new Mountain Lion OS and now my Magic Mouse does not work correctly. First after I log in, I have to turn the mouse off and on then then it will move. When I goto the options menu for the mouse none of the addtional features are there for the mouse including the scrolling. Any suggestions?

Hi Hunters Dad. I also had this problem and it turned out to be the bluetooth connection. After I upgraded, the bluetooth connection dropped off system preferences.
To locate your bluetooth connections click on the Apple logo in top left hand corner of screen, select System Preferences and look under Internet & Wireless. You should see Bluetooth there. If you don't, then power cycle your computer (see below). Afterwards go back to the System Preferences and Bluetooth should be there.
To Power Cycle my computer Apple support had me shut down my computer, take out the power cable and all other connections for one minute then plug back in and restart as follows:
press your computer ON button and then hold down the p r command option keys at the same time until the 2nd chime. I also have been having long boot ups since upgrading and the chimes didn't come on. Applecare instructed me to stop holding the keys and the computer eventually booted up. Lo and behold the bluetooth connections were visible and my magic mouse and trackpad now work fine.
Hope this works for you.
