My Pearl keeps restarting and the trackpad won't work!

My new Pearl 9100 keeps freezing and then restarting on itself. It's super annoying because this happens about every hour. When it restarts the entire trackpad won't work, even the button. The only way I've been able to get it to work again is to restart it until it does! It usually takes about 7 restarts until the entire trackpad will work, then it restarts again.
Is there any suggests on what I should do? And I'm still on warrenty but Bell said they couldnt do anything about it

Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

Hi, marksaner
You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini?

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini? The cursor moves a little and then will not respond at all. Gestures do not work

Yes, it's one of the things that can interfere. Here are some others including airport. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

Vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word

Question:
I have a T42 ThinkPad and the vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word and therefore not in my email either. Big pain in butt as I'm so used to using it. Are there any patches that fix that? Any ideas on why it won't work?

It's really weird. My suggestion would be that you install the most up-to-date driver by direct downloading or via System Update (if you haven't updated the driver).

I upgraded to Mavericks and now the scoll on my trackpad won't work. It works in Chrome, the finder, or MS suite. Only FF doesn't work.

The question has pretty much all the details. I'm running latest FF and Mvericks and the scroll/backward/forward function in the trackpad doesn't work. I can scroll in any other program, just not FF.

You're welcome atlantisflygirl.

Touchscreen and trackpad won't work after installing new OS

i want to ask why that after i upgraded my os, and during the start up when i have to scroll down the aggrements text my trackpad and my touchscreen won't work. is that any way to solve this problem? i beg you to answer my question please. i would be very grateful. thanks

Did you actually upgrade to OS 7.0 or to OS 7.1?
What OS were you previously on that you want to downgrade to?
For the application in question, go to Options > Device > Application Management. Find the app and delete it.
Now, go back to AppWorld and install it again and see if it works correctly.
For most apps that I know of, if they worked correctly on OS7, they will be fine on OS7.1

My enter button and web search orb won't work only on my homepage. Works everywhere but there. We have Yahoo for a homepage. What should I do?

We have the at&t/yahoo homepage fixed where we can check our other email account. On this page, I have just a color theme and all of the news items disabled. We have had this for three years now. Just a few days ago we noticed that when we use the search bar that is included in the middle of the page that the enter button won't work. I usually type and hit enter as opposed to clicking on the mouse button. I do have the search assistant on. I tried to disable that, but it didn't help. I have a couple of other search toolbars and they work fine with the keyboard. It's just convenient especially for my husband to have it this way. I have searched the internet for several days and have come close to what I thought would be the answer but nothing has worked yet. Most of the questions/answers were old anyway. It might not have anything to do with Firefox, I just didn't know where else to ask questions too.

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

My trackpad won't work and is selecting everything it passes by

my trackpad isn't working at all

Captfred got it. If you really like the tap to drag (which I do) just remember all you need to do is a) train yourself to gently apply your finger to the pad abd b) when you don't, tap again to undo the dragging.

Magic Trackpad won't work properly

In the bluetooth preferences my magic trackpad connects, but in the trackpad preferences it doesn't show up. What's going on?!
I can use basic mouselike functions with my trackpad, but since it won't show up in the trackpad preferences I can't use it do anything "magical". That renders it usesless. (I can use an old-fashioned mouse to do that)
I'm usig a new iMac (quad core) with system 10.6.8. In the trackpad preference it says "no trackpad found". If I restart the trackpad it can be found, but when I click "continue" it disconnects. Then I go back to the bluetooth preferences to see that it's still connected! Like I said, I can use the most basic functions, but only those basic functions. Very frustrating...
The batteries are good and I place the trackpad right under the computer monitor to avoid interferrence, etc. Is it possible there's a software glitch somewhere?!

I'm guessing that, if you don't know what USB Overdrive is, you probably have not installed it. It is not something that comes with your computer. Here is is a link for USB Overdrive:
http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html
If you have USB Overdrive installed on your computer you will see it as and icon at the bottom of the "System Preferences" window. If you see it there, you can click on it to open its control window and delete it from there. But like I said, I'm thinking that's probably not your problem. Still, go take a look at the bottom of your system preferences just to make sure.
I'm wondering, though, if you installed any other software for a mouse, or other type of controller, maybe it would cause similar problems too. Maybe you should check for other things you may have installed (?).

Win7 and Bootcamp 4 - trackpad won't work

I have installed Windows 7 (32bit) on a mid 2007 24inch iMac. Also installed are Bootcamp drivers (version 4) as directed on the Apple suitability page.
Everything seems to be fine apart from my Apple Trackpad just won't respond. In Windows Device Manager, there is no Trackpad listed under 'Human Interface Devices' nor under mouse, although 'Apple Mighty Mouse' is listed as this is the only way I can select things in Windows currently.
I have tried getting Windows to search for a wireless device, but nothing.
I have seen from other forums that this appears to be a common problem.
Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you for your reply Bob. Unfortunately, I don't have any reference to Trackpad in the Bootcamp control panel, which I am guessing means that the driver is not properly installed. This is odd as I am sure that there is reference to Apple Trackpad in the list of drivers that appears in Windows device manager. I am unclear if its possible to either reinstall Bootcamp's Windows Support files or only install the trackpad part of the installation.

Mouse/Trackpad won't work. What's step one?

Okay, this is irksome. The Wife's two month old iMac has just gotten a problem which renders it unusuable. The mouse and the trackpad work in the sense that the curser goes across the screen but I have no way of "clicking" anything. I have tried the trackpad, an wired Apple mouse and a cheapo wired generic mouse and I have used all different USB ports for the wired mice. Same thing. At this point, I pulled the plug and restarted it. Again, same thing.
I have Apple Care so I could call but I'd like to try to fix it myself before making the phone call. So any ideas?
Thanks.

(Haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet.)

Hi Brian, try this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Magic trackpad won't work

My apple wireless trackpad said that it is connected but it wont work. I have changed out the batteries and it still wont work. It all started happening when i put in some other batteries to see if they still worked, then i put in my batteries i just had used and they didnt work.

Hold power button on TP until it turns off.
Then turn off your computer.
Start up your computer, and when you get to the login-screen, turn back on your TrackPad..
And wait..
