Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Why does my sound stop working

    Why does my sound stop working when listening to music or watching videos? I have to cut my phone off and then back on for it to start working again. Its happening more and more often.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

  • Why does my trackpad not work anymore?

    I have owned my MacBook Pro for about 3 years and just a couple of weeks ago the trackpad stopped working when I clicked on it. I can still use it by finger touch but I can no longer left or right click on it. I have been using a mouse for the past week so that I can right click. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?

    Check your settings in system preferences.

  • Why isn't my mouse opening anything when I click on it? It's moving around and the batteries are fine but it's not opening anything!

    My mouse is not working with my computer. The batteries are good. The cursor arrow will move where I want it but when I click,nothing happens! Ugh! Is it thecomputer or the mouse? How can I fix it if the mouse doesn't work?

    I was having all kinds of crazy mouse and trackpad problems after installing Lion.Reset PRAM and that helped briefly. Then found out my main battery was bad. Now that I have replaced it my mouse  and track pad are behaving.  It may have been coincidence or it may be that Lion is more sensitive to battery issues?
    Worth checking your battery as this can cause all kinds of problems apparently.....

  • Why does my claw stop working?

    The tracking motions: ie claw, three finger, two finger swipes all stop working on their own. Why does this happen and what can I do to make sure it doesn't just go away in the future. Am I hitting something on the keyboard that I am not supposed to?

    go into System Preferences and check the settings for the trackpad and mouse and see if the gestures have been disabled.

  • Why does my touchscreen stop working?

    I have an all-in-one computer (HP Pavilion 23-h017c TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR) )that I purchased just about a month ago.  I have noticed that every other day my touchscreen stops working all together, nothing I do will fix it.  Finally I just shut my computer down, waited a sec, and turned it back on.  Once I did that my touchscreen started working just fine. If I just restart the computer my touchscreen still doesn't work - I have to shut it down.
    My question is: Why does it stop working all of a sudden? This is driving me mad, I've never shut my computer down so many times before!!

    I had the exact same problem. I had my HP Pavillion for less than a month when the screen stopped working all together. At first the screen would just shut off or not turn on when I tried to power up my laptop. It eventually stopped working all together. I had to wait 30 minutes on the phone for a customer service rep to tell me "press the power button" over and over again. Then I had to wait four days for HP to send me a box and then a week for HP to receive my laptop. I just found out after waiting on the phone for 45 minutes that it will take another month to receive my laptop. HP should recall HP Pavillions. They suck! The worst part of my customer service experience is they said they might not even send me anoher  Pavillion. Apparently they are going to send me whatever is in their stock that has the same specifications as the Pavillion. I can honestly say the BIGGEST MISTAKE I ever made in my life was buying an HP product. HP SHOULD SERIOUSLY RECALL HP PAVILLIONS. Clearly they aren't working properly. No laptop should crap out after less than a month of use.

  • Why does slide show stop working?

    When I was creating tablet version layout from desktop layout, the slide show stopped working. Do you know why?

    Seems odd, it should work. I would do a test. Add a new slideshow widget onto the tablet layout, leaving the images that Muse has and test to see if that works. If it does then there is an issue with the file you are coping in.

  • Why does my mouse stop working?

    I'm having issues with my Magic Mouse. It will suddenly stop working. It won't display that the connection was lost until I turn the mouse off and turn it back on. The arrow is also moving very sluggish across the screen. I just replaced the batteries and it is still doing this.

    Yea you were unfortunatly correct.
    Soon after the reset I got all the same issues.Often my mouse and keyboard disconnects, Safari lags when scrolling, mouse lags and keyboard and mouse sometimes become unresponsive.
    Hate to say it, but what happened to Apple since they cannot even get the mouse and keyboard to work properly?!
    Anybody know if a OS X reinstallation might help?

  • Why does ctrl + "button" stops working?

    Hello peeps,
    I'm having some trouble using ctrl + "any button" in illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.2 64-bit) with windows 7. I'm not sure how or why it stops working but I usually go on with my normal job and all of a sudden ctrl-commands stops working. (I will try to look into exactly when it happens and get back to here) I can't use ctrl+c, ctrl+v or even ctrl+n for a new document. Alt-commands such as alt+drag and drop with left mouse button to copy still works. I try to reboot illustrator but it's the same thing, ctrl-button doesn't work. I
    All ctrl-commands (and just the ctrl-button in general) works well in windows and in my browser (firefox).
    Things I've tried but with no success...
    - Re-plugging my keyboard
    - Looked over settings for short commands (they're set to standard)
    - Reboot illustrator
    - Killed illustrator.exe through "ctrl+alt+del"
    Things I've tried with success...
    - Restarting the computer makes ctrl-button work again
    However, if I open a saved document (pdf or ai) ctrl-commands all of a sudden works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! /Fredrik
