Trackpad two- and three-finger functions not working

Everything was fine last night, but when I turned on the computer this morning, the trackpad is not working correctly. Cursor movement with one finger feels different than normal (a bit sluggish) and two- and three-finger functions such as scrolling, enlarging, and navigating forward and back do not work. I have tried letting the computer sleep first, rebooting, shutting down and turning back on, and the trackpad firmware update from last November (which it said I did not need to update) and nothing has worked. The trackpad menu in the System Preferences offered nothing as well. I have not updated to Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I had the same problem specially after carrying out the last update 4.3 the battery was draining very fast y. In addition to that the phone freezing initially for few minutes then for almost a day and finally continuously.
I did almost every thing but replacing the handset and non worked.
As a final attempt to fix the problem before I replace the unit and get a new one was to
1. connect the phone to the my computer (Mac)
2. Launch iTunes
3. Restore the phone to factory setting (with the 4.3) upgrade.
Of course I lost every thing my contacts all of my apps and phone settings. But it worked it has been two days now the phone didn't freeze and the battery life is even better than before.
Note:
1. All of my contacts, note, calendar, emails were backed up using my company exchanger
2. Before restoring I listed all of the apps that were installed and I reinstalled them one by one all over again.
Try this solution and I hope it works with you.

3&4 finger functions not working

I have a late 2009 MBP and just recently my 3 and 4 finger functions have stopped working on my trackpad. I checked system prefs and they are all checked, so I don't know what is going on. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Three Finger Flick not working in Chrome?

I have a Lenovo Y460, which their touchpad supports the 'Three Finger Flick' function (Allows you to scroll through photos, back/forward on webpages (not that useful but still nice)), and I always just thought it didn't work on my computer or I just didnt know how to use it.
As a web browser, I like Google Chrome. But I clicked on IE by accident and felt like trying the flick again. So it works in IE but not in Chrome? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

@dimfisch
I'm not quite sure what double tap is/what you mean, but you can configure little sections of your touchpad to have a different function. If you click on that little ^ arrow on your task bar, and find "Synaptics Pointing Device" (looks like a little touchpad with a green center), go properties, Device Settings, and then settings one once, you'll find that you can add a few extra functions and all in there. Hope this helps!

sorry for the slow reply.
The problem did happen as soon as I installed 10.6. As I still work in 10.5 as well I do a lot of switching between the two. The problem has never appeared on 10.5, and has now stopped happening on 10.6
Do you still have the issue after a reboot? I have not had the issue since I posted this topic and nothing has changed on my pack

Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

I have a canon rebel T5i and all my functions not work, like black and white etc.

Haven't used the camera for about 5 weeks and now I'm on vacation and my functions don't work. First I thought it was just the black and white function but I have tried them all. I can take the picture but it doesn't save it. I saves all other pictures I take without using one of the functions. Please help

This is purely a guess (I have a different camera model and I don't use those functions... for I simply convert color images to black and white in post processing.)...
If the camera has been sitting for a while, the battery might be down. It may take several discharge/recharge cycles to bring it up to full power and performance. I have seen some odd behavior from my cameras at times when they sat for a long time, that seemed to be related to low battery charge (or to a loosened battery grip, which I use on all my cameras). A fresh battery and/or removing, cleaning the battery to camera and/or battery grip to camera contacts resolved the weird glitches. To clean the contacts, I recommend simply wiping them with a clean, lint free rag lightly dampened with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Pre-moistened computer monitor/keyboard wipes seem to work pretty well, too.

X301 and Win7 - some functions not working 100%

Hi
My x301 (2777-CTO) shipped 1 day AFTER the Win 7 launch, but had Vista on it (how much do I wish I'd waited to order, I didn't pay any attention to launch dates)
Anyway I had a legit copy of Win 7 business so I did a fresh install. I then went through and installed all the drivers on these pages and then ran system update 4 a few times until it says there are no updates.
I have a lovely working speedy system, however it's not as joined up as I'd normally expect from a Thinkpad. The issues (not exhaustive) are:
ThinkVantage button no longer lit up and just loads a 'toolbox' not the usual list of links to the different features?
No ability to configure my 3G account (I'm sure there was a specific app under Vista)
No obvious camera software
No brightness controls screen overlay
My question is simple. Should I have all ThinkVantage software after a fresh install and system update or are there still bits an pieces yet to be released by Lenovo?
If I bother to get the upgrade media will I get a full driver update too so I get the full EE experience?
Thanks

If the laptop is 32-bit, then you're running the last 32-bit version of Muse, Muse 7.4.
If the laptop is 64-bit, then you're running the most recent version, which is Muse 2014.3.2 (which is equivalent to Muse 11.2).

Multi finger gesture not working

Hi,
My laptop is hp 15-r014TX.
Recently my touchpad multi finger gesture has stopped working. I can not scroll using 2-finger scroll, right click, rotation, zoom in and out. However, one-finger gestures are all working fine like I can swap between apps by left swipe, options appear by right swipe. I tried changing the settings, but of no use.
Thanks,
Pragya

Hello @Pragya_Mathur ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 15-r014tx Notebook and the finger gestures not working correctly. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the finger gestures on a Touchpad.
If you will go to the section on common TouchPad gestures, TouchPad and ClickPad configuration options are located on the TouchPad properties page. It shows you the Clickpad properties page. You can select the options. This only works on programs that have this capability, such as a photo browser or word processor.
Hope this fixes your issue with finger gestures.
Thanks.

I have bought three iPhone 6 one for me and one each for my two kids we have just done the update iOS 8.01 now all phone do not connect to service provider and touch id is not working , APPLE HELP !!!!

i phones updated iso 8.01 all three phones will not connect to service provider and touch id
will not work APPLE HELP !!!!!!!!!
anyone know i fix as i have spent over 2000 pound on three phones that won't work
all three where working fine until the 8.01 update

Apple just pulled the update because it is a major fubar! You will have to rollback your iPhone to the base iOS 8 using iTunes and Apple needs to seriously test its patches!
Update:
Simply connect your phone to iTunes and back up your data. Then, click the “Restore iPhone” button and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s a huge pain, but at least it’s better than having your shiny new iPhone turned into a big expensive iPod touch.

My Macbook Pro keyboard AND USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?

My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?
This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Pie chart with two measures and date dimension navigation not working

Hi Experts,
Pie chart with two measures and date dimension navigation not working. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
V

Hi Deepak,
I had time dimension in the RPD.
I have stacked bar chart with same time dim like year & month in the report. when I go to legand and set navigation it is working fine. But not with pie chart.
I am not not sure what is the problem. When I click on Pie chart it is not navigating to the target report. Can it be any other issues..???

When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
