Trackpad preferences does not appear in the system preferences

Hi.
My Macbook Pro has Snow Leopard version os x 10.6.8.
For any reason that I do not know, I am unable to use all the functionalities of the trackpad like rotate a picture etc.
Besides that, if I go to the System Preferences Folder, and select the Trackpad preferences pane, I find a clear window... all the options about trackpad functionalities disappeared and I do not know how to restore it.
Besides that, now my trackpad does not appear to have all functionalities operational. For example, in order to open a file, now I have to press twice the trackpad. Before, it only was necessary to tap twice the trackpad, without pressure on it.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thank you in advance,
PA Sousa

Hi yong88
Try to reset PRAM and PMU.
Try to boot from installer disk and press D for hardware diagnostic.
Try to repair permission.
Go to system preference > International > Input menu > check only UK.
Install a fresh OS X might resolve the problem (back up your file first).
Check the connection from logic board to the keyboard and re-attached that and see how it works.
Good Luck

  • Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

    Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
    When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
    When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
    Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

    Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

  • Have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preferences

    Hello,
    I have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preference, even if I'ved upgraded the software.
    Renee

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preference, the external speakers option does not appear in the Input tab. Help?

    I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preferences, the external speakers option does not appear on the input tab and, of course, the external speakers do not work. Help?

    When you plug headphones in, or external speakers, where it states "internal speakers", it will rename that "headphones", say. Unless you are running an external sound card.

  • Quicktime does not appear in my System Preferences ?

    Quicktime does not appear in my System Preferences ? Anyone know why, I'm wanting to enter my registration keycode.....................where has it gone ?

    There is no QuickTime System Preference pane in Snow Leopard or Lion.
    Open QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) from the Utilities folder and click Registration... under its menu.

    How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

    Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
    Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
    If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
    And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.

  • I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start M

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

  • New Hard disk is not appearing in the System Profiler

    I am doing a fresh install using my ligitimate Snow Leopard DVD  on my USB disk.
    My SSD is not appearing in the System Profiler under Hardware>ATA
    or under Hardware>Serial-ATA
    It is a PATA device as was the original disk I've replaced.
    So I have NO disk to install onto.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    ===
    History
    My hard disk died, and I am replacing it with an SSD.
    I bought a Mach Xtreme Technology Pata 1.8" SSD (Part no MXSSD1MNANOZ-120G)
    (I can send this back if I have to)
    The SSD is unusual in that it has to be a 1.8" size with a ZIF PATA connector.
    The SSD is preformatted (but not necessarily to Apple formatting).
    With the SSD the same way around to the original 80GB HDD, Pin 1 of the new SSD is towards the back of the computer.
    I cannot find any information as to which Pin on the original HDD is Pin 1.
    I used this tutorial to dismantle and reassemble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnV7mHS7Qi8
    I've double checked the connections inside.

    Thanks, this was the answer.
    The connector on the SSD I used was indeed arranged reverse to the original Apple Drive. So it looked different to all the tutorials.
    I knew where Pin 1 was on the new SSD but could not see it on the old drive.
    The original 80GB hard disk had Pin 1 is towards the middle of the computer.
    Flipping the SSD over meant it was about 3mm closer to the back, which made the zif ribbon buckle. So I had to cut away some of the rubber shock absorber to the back, and use tape. The SSD should not need the shock absorber as it is not mechanical/vibrating.
    It is now working well.
    (Although I now have a different problem restoring from the Time Machine.   )

    Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
    I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

    yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem

  • Why local file destype does not appear in the parameter form ?

    Hi,
    There is a Destype option Local File but it does not appear in the list for Destype in the Parameter form.Why?
    Even file is not working & the reports server is getting hanged if i specify the destype as file & a valid file name & format is given.
    Print option from the app server is also not working, i mean remote printing.
    My App server machine can see my local printer, but when i give the print share name or literally five\\machine name..printername then too print option is not working.
    Thanks
    Mahesh

    Hi Shaun,
    I'am using 9iDS & the reports documentation says that Local File DesType Option is valid for rwclient & rwservlet.
    When your specify in the command line option it works, no issues but in web reports where i get the parameter form Destype list does not contain Local File Option.
    For web reports i use rwservlet.
    i mean to say my url is something like this
    http://oracle.guru:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=abc.rdf&userid=a/b@c&destype=cache&paramform=yes&server=myserver
    one more peculiar thing, i have reported it on Metalink.
    As you can see in the above URL i have given an argument of destype=cache, if i do not give this then my parameter for will not come up!!!, why should i give a destype for the parameter form to be displayed?
    Ok coming to my current problem..
    in 9iDS Reports is Local File supported? i.e. when i give a URL like above(My parameter form has system & user parameters including DesType,DesName & DesFormat).
    coming to the file option in DesType.
    In my parameter form if i select Destype as File & give a valid file name & a valid Desformat the report server hangs i mean there is no activity on the client & after this any report requests from any other clients is not responded by the Reports Server.
    When i check in the performance monitor of my Reports Server the CPU Utilization will be constant at 100%
    Thanks
    Mahesh

  • Checklist _ product does not exist in the system

    Hello experts,
    I am customizing Checklist for CRM 7 Service.
    However, I am struggling as I have the following error : "Item 20: The product does not exist in the system". Indeed, I have seen that the checklist creates an item with the item category 'FCHK' in the transaction type. However, the product for this item is empty in 'crmd_order' and creates error in the web_ui. Another error appears, which is linked to the first one, 'Item20:The item category FCHK is not permitted for the product'.
    Any help on the checklist customizing would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Anaïs Jaussaud

    Hi Anais,
    Please go through : How to Configure Checklists in SAP Solution Manager 7.1 -- Part 1
    Also please see that item category determination has to be set for the check list product other wise no determination will take place properly

  • Driver does not appear in the selection tab Windows8

    NDIS protocol driver does not appear in the Selection Tab and hence I can not run any tests on it. The client operating system is Windows 8 64bit Pro Premium. I tried reinstall driver several times, reboot client and studio machines, but with no results.
    Client itself is connected to the studio and is in "Ready" state.
    There was no problem running the test on the same driver with Win7 64bit client OS.
    HCK version is 8.59.29854
    The driver is build with DDK7.1.0
    Any hints on how to debug this would be helpful.
    Dmitry

    Have you uninstalled and re-install the HCK client on the test system?  This can cause the entry on the controller to not match up with the actual client system.  If this is the case, and you have done no testing on the system (as all results will
    be lost), please try this:
    1) Uninstall the DTM client from the test system.
    2) Delete the client entry from HCK studio in the machine management section.
    3) Reinstall the DTM client on the test system.
    4) Wait for client entry appear in the "Default Pool"
    5) Change client status to "Reset", wait for it to become "Ready", and try locating the target as I describe above.

  • Time capsule does not appear in the finder.

    My time capsule appears in airport utility. It is ready to go. I have it on ethernet because airport isn't a very powerful wireless router. The time capsule does not appear in the finder. It does not appear in the disc utility. It does not appear in time machine. The airport utility will do factory resets, get it ready for internet, whatever. The rest of my net work can not see it.
    I have done the finder preferences. I have restarted the computer, jiggered the sharing preferences, done factory resets, tried to find sparce bundles and sparse bundles, reset the finder, force quit finder, tried to find finder plsts, trawled the discussion pages, tried to find server addresses and apple ids. Nothing seems to work.
    Time capsule never seems to work as smoothly as it supposed to. I shudder to present my problems to apple support because I know that its a long road and will probably end in tears. But here I am, naked before this disappointing edifice.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    What is the make and model number of your modem?
    I have a microwave modem on my roof. I don't think that has anything to do with this. I am not using my airport for a wireless router, only as a time capsule connected by ethernet. The Airport Utility calls my airport : Airport Extreme 802.11 ( 1st Generation )
    Is the Time Capsule acting as your main router or is another device handling those services?
    No, I have a lyncsis router. The wireless router function on airports doesn't seem to work very well. I don't think thats a problem with mine. My brothers have gone with lyncsis as well.
    Was the Time Capsule visible in the Finder before, and is now "lost", or has it never appeared in the Finder?
    It appeared on my previous laptop. That died. Now I have an imac. The airport has never appeared on the imac.
    Thanks for trying to help so quickly
