TrackPad update problems

I have recently installed the trackpad update onto my MacBook Pro, has anyone else been having problems with the click sticking? this problem has only started occurring after the update and is a pain in the ***... you will go to click something and then it will just hold on and you can click again and it will just reset and click on the new area...

Same issue here. I have Macbook Pro 15" 2.53 GHz Core i5 purchased Nov 2009 with only Apple software onboard. This Mac is lightly used but I keep up with the latest software and OSX updates. Trackpad became unusable after last OSX 10.6.4 update - as far as I can tell. At this point I have an old mouse connected and using that to control cursor which slows me down considerably. Seems to me to be a software related problem.

  • Magic Trackpad - Pairing Problems Switching Between OS X & Windows

    My system has Mac OS 10.6.4 (with Magic Trackpad update 1.0 installed) and Windows 7 (with Bootcamp 3.1 plus the "Magic Trackpad/27" Cinema Display" update). The Trackpad works correctly after setup in OS X with all functions working even after reboots. The Trackpad also works correctly after setup in Windows 7 (with passkey 0000) and continues to work correctly with the supported features with multiple reboots into Windows 7.
    The problem is that after using Windows, when I reboot to OS X the Trackpad will not function. It shows as paired but disconnected and will not stay connected. If I un-pair and then re-pair it will work. And the same thing happen when I switch from OS X to Windows - it shows as paired but unconnected and the only way to get it to work is to un-pair and then re-pair.
    I had a similar sort of problem with the Magic Mouse and found that if I un-pair in OS X, pair in Windows, and then pair in OS X it will work with both. But the Trackpad won't work this way, even after trying this. I think the problem is that the Trackpad won't allow paring with two different systems (for the obvious reason) but isn't designed to accommodate the Bootcamp scenario.
    I really like the Magic Trackpad and would like to be able to use it on those rare occasions when I need to use Windows without the hassle of reinstalling it each time I boot a different OS. Any solution to this problem?

    UPDATE: I installed Vista on Bootcamp and tried the Magic TrackPad driver. It has the same problem. I can get the device to work as advertised on the initial install and reboots in the same OS. But when you switch from Windows to Mac OS X (or vice-versa) the device will not work: in Windows is listed as paired and connected, but does not work. In Mac OS X, it will not connect automatically and does not work. If you manually try to connect the Bluetooth icon briefly shows connected and then disconnects.
    I sent a bug report to Apple as a "developer" and they state that it is a known issue. I guess we simply wait for them to get around fixing the drivers at some point in the distant future. Clearly they ignore these forums altogether. The experience has left me disappointed with Apple and their slow and inadequate response to problems. I would rather they devote some resources to getting their existing products to work instead of wasting resources to add iPhone-style displays to Mac OS X. If I wanted buggy drivers and no support I should have just stayed with Windows.

  • Trackpad update on macbook pro  jsshe

    The new update for the trackpad on my macbook pro has given me some problems. For example, I seem to be constantly be highlighting words and documents at some points.
    Anyone have the same problem/issues?

    Which trackpad update? I found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL724 but I am hesitant to use it since my model is a mid 2009 version and I'm running 10.6.4 and the system requirements for that are listed as:
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X 10.5.5
    MacBook (Late 2008)
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008)
    Can you post the link to the update that worked for you? Are you also running on 10.6.4?
    Seems a bunch of us are having this same problem, with the trackpad going haywire randomly. So far the only way I've been able to temporarily fix it is to reboot, which isn't always easy when the trackpad is selecting everything. It's getting rather frustrating when I've got several programs open in the middle of a project!
    Apple, please help!

  • Macbook Pro 4,1 (Early 2008) Multitouch Trackpad Update Issues

    I've searched around the discussions and haven't seen any other posts, any input would be greatly appreciated.
    I have the last MacbookPro model before the unibody model came out, so it's got a three finger multitouch trackpad and a trackpad button.
    Before the unibody model came out, the trackpad was fine, but after the trackpad update for multitouch trackpads I've found a couple of issues.
    When I click (both tap and button) on any stacks in my dock, they open, but when I click it again it should close, but does not respond to multiple clicks. I have to move somewhere else on the screen instead.
    Also, before the trackpad update, the zoom in/out pinch gesture worked in the finder. With any window you had open, you could change the size of the icons or zoom in and out of the thumbnails and the previews in cover flow view. After the trackpad update, these gestures no longer work.
    Has anyone else experienced these quirks?
    Thanks.

    So a bit of an update-
    After doing some more searching, this discussion popped up
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8633568&#8633568
    and the problem with multitouch gestures for finder windows has been solved
    the zoom using trackpad option has been moved to the finder menu inside of preferences>advanced.
    I think that I also figured out what was wrong with my trackpad with regards to clicking. For some reason, every time I restart my computer, the double click speed defaults to really slow. Anyone else have this issue?

  • Update problem - VBDATA table

    Dear All,
    We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
    Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
    In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
    In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
    Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
    As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
    The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
    Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
    Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
    Thanks in advance,
    Federico Biavati
    My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

    Hello Siva,
    This is what I did:
    > Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
    More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
    > You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
    > that are pending/in error
    Good point!!
    After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
    Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
    Thanks for you help,
    Federico

  • Chart x scale update problem

    LabVIEW  8.5.1
    Sweep Chart Problem
    The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep.  The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
    It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart.  I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this.  I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
    I've included a simple example.
    Thanks much,

    You have a typical race condition!
    There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
    All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
    (Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
    Try it!

  • Trackpad + Typing Problem

    Recently my Macbook has begun acting up a little bit. At random times when I'm dragging the cursor across the screen, it will start highlighting text, clicking buttons, opening things from the dock, etc. Without even clicking the trackpad button, it seems to be activated, and held down. It makes it very difficult to browse the internet, use iTunes, etc., because it will randomly just start clicking and moving songs, opening links, messing up Mail, etc.
    Furthermore, there seems to be a somewhat related problem with typing. When this trackpad/clicking problem seems to be occuring, it also becomes very difficult to type. Typing seems to work just fine initially, but then all of a sudden the text I'm typing won't show up on the line. The cursor blinks, and then jumps to a random line of text, highlights a few words, and then pauses. If I continue typing, it either erases the text that was selected, or just keeps typing and adding characters to the middle of a word or sentence I've already typed.
    Something definitely seems to be glitching. Occasionally I'm able to 'reset' the problem by moving the cursor to the desktop and firmly clicking on the trackpad 3-5 times. That will stop things from randomly highlighting and usually get the text to work again. It seems to be a problem mostly when I'm using Adium to talk to people, or just after I've typed for a few paragraphs (it's starting to act up right now, actually).
    Should I call Apple, or does anyone have any suggestions for fixing the problem with Software, etc.? I don't want it to progress any further, but as a college student, I'm going to be doing a lot of typing and need it fixed.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried resetting your Power Management Unit?
    Turn your Mac off, and remove the battery. Hold the power button down for about five to ten seconds. Pop the battery back in, and restart your computer.
    I had this issue, and it went away right after I did this.

  • 10.5.7 update problems

    After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

    Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
    I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
    I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
    I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

  • Cache update problem in Integration Directory

    Hi all,
    We have a cache update problem in our PI development server.
    If we try to edit, save and activate any of the ID objects, under Cache notifications>Central Adapter Engine> all these objects are displayed as gray items.
    We have tried:
    1. Clearing the SLD Data Cache.
    2. Did SXI_CACHE complete refresh.
    3. Did CPA cache refresh.
    4. Did a complete cache refresh of the server.
    5. Restarted the server.
    But still the problem has not bee resolved. Could you pls provide your inputs and resolution points.
    Thank you very much.
    regards,
    Jack Nuson

    HI Jack ,
    first try to manually update the cache from ID select on your cache notifiaction and click on delta cache refresh button and refresh button .IF it does not yied any result then
    Perform a full cache refresh using the URL
    http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full . If the cache refresh happens properly then your problem will get resolved other wise you have to see the cache log to view why it failed there it will show you the exact reason . You might need to restart your java server also if the problem persist .
    Regards,
    Saurabh

  • Twitter Update Problem

    Seems I have a Twitter Update problem. 1. I have no pirated software on my computer either from the App Store or anywhere else. 2. I did buy a set off templates for iWork through the App Store with my Bosses Apple ID (it's for work). Is that really the problem. That's ridiculous.  The apple ID is mine, as is much of the software, but it's a computer use for work. If this is true it makes the App Store a lot less useful.

    my apologies I was so annoyed. I didn't bother to state my issue. The issue is: Twitter is constantly asking to be updated. Even after it's updated. Even if it's deleted. I looked at the forums for a solution and found that people were having this problem who installed pirated app store apps.
    I am logged into the app store on my account. All but one of the apps on my machine that come from the app store are on my account. However there is one piece of software on my account that I purchased, by logging out and logging in with her ID, purchasing it, installing and logging out, and again logging in as myself. I don't have an issue with that app. However Twitter, which was installed under my username, constantly says it needs to be updated. Hope that makes it clearer.
