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 ?

Hope it helps

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Sorting not working correctly for date field in alv report

Hi All,
My report displays many rows also containing date type fields of bldat,budat .
When I sort the report selecting field of type bldat budat the sorting is not correct for the year.
Ex:
Invoice doc dat
01-25-2011
01-21-2011
02-02-2011
10-25-2010
11-20-2010
If I use ascending then it is sorted as :
Invoice doc dat
01-21-2011
01-25-2011
02-02-2011
10-20-2010
10-25-2010
Why the sorting is not working correct for year.(2010 records should have been first).
The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10.
It is populated as wa_tab-bldat = bsak-bldat.
Kindly suggest what can be done.

The field wa_tab-bldat is of type char10
Then what it does is correct.
Refer to type datum...it will work

If statement within a view is not working correctly ?

Hi all,
maybe i am wrong but i think the if statement within a view is not working correctly. See code down below.
I would like to use the Hallo World depending on the page attribute isFrame with or without all the neccessary html tags. Therefore i have embedded the htmlb tags in an if statement. But for any reason if isframe is initial it isn't working. It would be great if anybody could help me.
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
     <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
hallo world
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
     </htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% endif. %>
thanks in advance and best regards
Matthias Hlubek

Matthias,
The short answer: your example is <b>NOT</b> going to work. The long answer will probably 5 pages to describe. So first let me rewrite the example so that it could work, and then give a short version of the long answer. Do not be disappointed if it is not totally clear. It is rather complicated. (See the nice form of IF statements that are possible since 620.)
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if isframe is <b>NOT</b> initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    hallo world
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% else. %>
hallo world
<% endif. %>
So why does your example not work? Let us start with a simple tag:
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
</htmlb:page>
Now, for each tag, we have effectively the opening part (<htmlb:page>), an optional body, and then the closing part (</htmlb:page>). We are now at the level of the BSP runtime processing one tag. What the runtime does not know, is whether the tag wants to process its body or not. Each tag can decide dynamically at runtime whether the body should be processed. So the BSP compiler generates the following code:
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
You should actually just debug your BSP code at ABAP level, and then you will immediately see all of this. Now, let us mix in your example with our code generation. First you simplified example:
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
</htmlb:page>
<% endif. %>
And then with our generated code. Look specifically at how the IF/ENDIF blocks suddenly match!
if isframe is NOT initial.
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
endif.
if isframe is NOT initial.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
endif.
You can see that your ENDIF statements are closing IF blocks generated by the BSP compiler. Such a nesting will not work. This is a very short form of the problem, there are a number of variations, and different types of the same problem.
The only way to solve this problem, is probably to put the body into a page fragment and include it like I did above with the duplicate HelloWorld strings. But this duplicates source code. Better is to put body onto a view, that can be processed as required.

** Filtering is not working correctly in ALV (REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY)

Hi Friends,
We have one Z report that output is displayed in ALV. We are using the standard FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
We have requirement to remove leading zeros for the field like Material Number (MATNR), Equipment Number (EQUNR) etc. We did the changes by applying the field catalog properties as below.
lw_fieldcat-lzero = space.
lw_fieldcat-no_zero = 'X'.
After this, the MATNR and EQUNR is displayed correctly in the ALV. (Leading zeros are suppressed). But, when we do filter for these fields, in the filter window it displays all the values with leading zeros.
1. We don't understand why it is showing in the Filter widow with all leading zeros. All it shows all the records instead of unique items.
Later on, we removed the above fieldcat coding. Then, we have called the CONVERSION_EXIT routines (in the domain) for the fields to remove leading zeros.
Now, the MATNR and EQUNR is displayed correctly (without leading zeros) in ALV. When we do filter, it is also doing filtering correctly. But, when we do filter which have EQUNR having long values (after zero suppression), it is not working correctly. i.e no items are displayed in the ALV.
Not only for this items. If we filter character columns which have long text, it is not filtering correctly.
2. It is not able to understand why the filtering is not working for long items. But in the standard report, the filtering is working correctly.
We are using SAP ECC 6.0.
Friends, can you clarify the about doubts. It is surprising for me.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.
Our customer is asked to remove the leading zeros for the numeric field

Hi Clemens Li
I agreed on your point. When we define the Internal table the type for element EQUNR & QUMNR , we are referring the SAP data element for EQUNR, QMNUM field.
Our doubt is even though we refer the standard data element, in the ALV display, it shows with leading zeros and also it creates problems in the filtering and in the filter window all values instead of unique nos.
Hi Abhii
I have given below the fieldcat coding.
Friends, can you kindly clarify the above said problems. Since we use SAP ECC 6.0 any notes or patches apply is required. ( this is the basic functionality in ALV, that is my doubt).
    wls_fieldcat-col_pos   = wpv_pos.
    wls_fieldcat-fieldname = wpv_champ.
    wls_fieldcat-tabname   = wlc_tabname.
wls_fieldcat-seltext_s = wls_fieldcat-seltext_m
    wls_fieldcat-seltext_l = wpv_libelle.
    wls_fieldcat-ddictxt   = 'L'.
    wls_fieldcat-no_out    = wv_no_out.
    APPEND wls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

Key Figure calculation in Abap is not working correctly - Overlooping

Hi,
I wrote a logic to calculate the ratio of key figure but it is not working correctly
For example I have a requirement to split 1 Product into Several new Products and also the Net Amount will be splitted to these several new products as well. The total Amount of the new product will be equivalent to the Net Amount.
So far my Logic is splitting the product to several new products but the amount is incorrect as the calculation is over looping.
Sample
A PRODUCT has Net Amount 1000. And this product needs to be splitted into 3 new products. Each of this new product is assigned a ratio of 0.3, 0.2 and 0.7 respectively. total sum of the ratio is 1.
PRODUCT1 0.3 = 1000 * 0.3 = 300
PRODUCT2 0.2 = 1000 * 0.2 = 200
PRODUCT3 0.7 = 1000 * 0.7 = 700
The total amount of this new products is 1000.
Now my logic is working this way.
PRODUCT1 0.3 = 1000 * 0.3 = 300
PRODUCT2 0.2 = 1000 * 0.2 * 0.3 = 60
PRODUCT3 0.7 = 1000 * 0.2 * 0.3 * 0.7 = 42
Only the PRODUCT1 is working correctly and there is overlooping for the remaining products
Logic used
DATA: t_data TYPE data_package_structure OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: t_newdso LIKE /bic/newdso OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: t_olddso LIKE /bic/olddso OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    LOOP AT t_newdso.
      t_data-prod = t_newdso-/bic/znew_mp.
      t_data-material = t_newdso-material.
*T_DATA-NETAMOUNT = T_DATA NETAMOUNT * T_NEWDSO-/BIC/ZSP_RATIO.*
      APPEND t_data.
    ENDLOOP.

    REFRESH t_olddso.
    SELECT * FROM olddso INTO TABLE t_olddso WHERE prod =

Hi,
I am not really good at debugging Abap code since I am a newbie. however I have tried to add CLEAR T_DATA before the first loop.
REFRESH T_DATA.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
ZIDX = SY-TABIX.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING DATA_PACKAGE TO T_DATA.
and before the second loop and select statement and at the end of the loop.
REFRESH T_NEWDSO.
SELECT * FROM NEWDSO INTO table T_NEWDSO WHERE PROD =
DATA_PACKAGE-PROD.
SORT T_NEWDSO BY PROD.
READ TABLE T_NEWDSO WITH KEY PROD = T_DATA-PROD.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
LOOP AT T_NEWDSO.
but then not all data are being fetched.
thanks
