TS2306 my trackpad has been freezing since I downloaded Mavericks OSX

I downloaded OSX Mavericks to my iMac (purchased in mid-2010). My software is completely up to date. Ever since I downloaded Mavericks, my trackpad has been freezing sporadically. There appears to be no rhyme or reason. I've cleaned the trackpad. When I put the computer to sleep and wake it back up, the trackpad works fine for a while, then freezes again. This does not happen at any consistent time intervals or under any consistent circumstances. What's going on??????????

Hi, Gary. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution to the sticky trackpad scrolling situation that works for me, but I think I can help you with opposite scroll direction issue. Open System Preferences and then click on Trackpad. Select the 'Scroll & Zoom' button at the top of the window, and then adjust the 'Scroll Direction' setting. Toggle that setting on or off to match the scroll direction you were accustomed to previously. Hope this helps.

  • Firefox has been crashing since I downloaded V 4.0.1 - how can I download the previous version, which almost never crashed?

    The other day, I was able to start Firefox in safe mode, but have not been given the option since. What can I download to fix this?

    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.

  • Most, but not all, website no longer display as HTML. This has been happening since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.

    The websites are accessible but do not display as HTML. Mirriam-Webster is one such site, but there are many others. However, this Firefox site and my google mail site, as well as some others, display fine.
    I've pasted in an example of a website that will not display properly on Firefox but displays just fine on Internet Explorer.

    The Firefox pop-up blocker is usually very effective for blocking pop-ups generated by websites, but it sounds like you may have picked up some Malware that is generating those pop-ups from you own PC.
    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
    ''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

  • Windows 7: Safari browser has been freezing up since yesterday when i upgraded it to the newer version 5.1

    Safari's website says that its browser is for PC & Mac. When ever i'm on the bookmarks site of safari or searching the web it has been freezing up since yesterday when i upgraded it the the newer version 5.1. and when i tried to reinstall or uninstall it it tells me there is already an installation in progress when actually there is no installation in progress. And i can't reinstall it or uninstall it sucessfully. Please help i like Safari. i've made it my default browser, but since i uploaded it to the newer version it has been acting very weird.
    I'd like to know what the problem is cause all the prior versions of Safari have worked with no problems. Version 5.1 is the only version that seems to be having a problem with Winndows 7 even though Safari's browser says its for PC & Mac also when i go to the installation page of Safari it even lists Windows 7 has a operating system that Safari can be on.

    Agree with you but Apple people do not hear our claims...

  • Since the recent upgrade my mac has been freezing up.  Any suggestions

    Since the last IOS update my laptop has been freezing up.  Any suggestions.

    Do you mean OS X? iOS is for iDevices, not computers.
    What, exactly, is happening? Do you have any error messages?

  • My 4S has been useless since the 7.0 update. Anyone else??

    My 4S has been useless since the 7.0 update. Anyone else??

    I think I'm way past this point. I don't want to lose all my data either. Half the time it won't even open after entering my security code. If I push an app or try to do a certain (any) function, it freezes and reboots automatically.

  • Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed

    HI,
    I am using V11.1.2.2 Hyperion Planning. I am currently getting an error:
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed
    This is what i got when i tried to add alternate hierarchy to my shared dimension. I tried to delete it and it messed up.
    NOw it wont deploy my application.
    Can any one suggest.
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers,

    EPMA!!!!! EPMA!!!!
    I'm playing around with it to write a blog post and it is crazy. Only possible workaround (till now i'm not able to figure out a solution to it) is to copy the application and deploy it as a new one. Take copy of all objects (forms, tasklist etc). Delete the corrupted application and rename the new one to old.

  • When i download a file from the web i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I change anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    every time i download a file from the web (ie. a PDF file) i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I changed anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
    I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
    You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

  • My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!

    My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning.  Now my phone is completely dead in the morning.  I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.

    One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
    Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
    To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
    Close as many as possible if you don't need them.

  • Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.

    My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
    Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
    I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

  • Firefox has been freezing constantly on my Mac, and I have to force quit the program every few minutes.

    For the past week or so, Firefox has been freezing multiple times per day. Each time, I have to force quit the program. I tried resetting the plug-ins and add-ons and things, I uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Flash Player, and I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox itself--none of these things has worked. I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but it is currently unusable. Can someone help?
