Why is my track pad becoming unresponsive

Loaned Mountain Lion on the releasse day. All was well then suddenly my track pad is unresponsive when using Chrome.

You may have to send it again for repair.
It is not that common that trackpad is failing second time around.
Best.

Why mac track pad becomes crazy when iPod nearby becomes fully charged?

I have a macbook air and an ipod 4g. When the ipod is coming near to 100% charge, my macbook track pad becomes uncontrolable. Can anyone explain to me why. Disconnecting my ipod solves the problem.
Also why is it that when the ipod is charging, i am not able to use the screen whithout it activating another part of the screen?

I'll attempt to deal with a couple of your questions...
I can reduce my MacBook's speed to that of treacle by putting a big-enough
number into the Dashboard calculator. (For example, try 999,999,999 x
999,999,999 then press = more than 13 times.) It would be bad enough for
the calculator to crash, but it instead makes the MacBook need a restart.
Why would you use the dashboard calculator to figure this out. I don't think there are that many calculators that can figure that out too quickly. There is also a calculator program in the applications folder which might be quicker, but even that would bog down with 999,999,999 to the 14th.
My iPod nano hasn't seen heavy use and I fitted it with a soft plastic cover ?
shortly after getting it. Cosmetically it's fine but its performance is
gradually worsening.
Sometimes it crackles or the screen freezes or it refuses to play a track all
the way through. I use it with cheap headphones but they seem to work
well enough elsewhere (they don't crackle).
While it *****, I would restore the iPod to the original settings. You might get more answers regarding this in the iPod forum.
A few days ago I upgraded its RAM from 512 MiB to 2 GiB. Crucial delivered
promptly and I installed it myself. The new RAM seems to be recognized
and working, but the built-in keyboard and track-pad stopped working
immediately afterwards.
I can't seem to revive them this time. As you can imagine, it's pretty silly
needing an external keyboard and mouse for a portable computer. I have
an AppleCare warranty. What should I do?
Did you try the old Ram to see if the keyboard and trackpad are working with it? Also there is a setting in preferences to ignore the built-in trackpad if there is an external one being used so I would check that as well. Other than that you do have the applecare, so you can always get it checked out for free.

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

Why does safari web browser become unresponsive?

Every once in a while the main part of the safari web browser on my iPad 2 becomes unresponsive. I can type into the address or google search area and the results will show in the window but the content seems static. Links are inactive and cannot scroll or expand/contract the page size. Any ideas on why this happens? My only solution thus far is to completely shut down the iPad and restart.

There are a myriad of reasons this can happen, including problems with content on the website you are viewing. If it seems to occur on the same sites check the site with your computer and see if it is possibly trying to download a Java applet or something similar. If there is no pattern to the websites visited you might want to Restore your iPad and see if it helps.

Why would my intel iMac become unresponsive shortly after booting?

I have an Intel Imac 5,1 (late 2006) 20" with a new 500GB hd and 3GB ram. I'm running 10.6 and adobe cs 5.5. If i wake my computer from "sleeping" the screen comes on for a period of about 8 seconds then goes blank and unresponsive to peripheral input. To correct this, I have set the computer to never sleep. Now the problem has progressed so that when I try to boot the machine up, it will chime and invariably show the spinning gear (as it would during normal startup) however, after a few seconds, the screen goes completely blank and the computer won't continue the booting process. I have been able to get it to boot as normal on occasion, but not reliably and I'm worried when I shut it down that I won't be able to get it started again. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I have tried resetting PRAM & SMC for this iMac to no result....

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If necessary, click Repair Disk. You will need your install disc.
While you have the Disk Utility window open, see Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window.
Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

Magic track pad vs. magic mouse?

So which do you prefer when working on a mac pro? A magic track pad or the magic mouse?
Anyone have any experience working with both?
I have not yet tried either on my mac pro (still using mighty mouse - the worse mouse ever invented!!) but when working on my mac book pro's track pad I got to say, I am considering going the magic track pad route?
Anyone have any input to offer?

Hi I have both also. I started with the mouse and then bought the trackpad to use with my MacPro. I like both but have found the following over the last few weeks. Since I really love the trackpad on my macbook pro I did not hesitate to buy a track pad when they became available. And let me add that the track pad is great. But it is not a natural for me to use the track pad with my Macpro as it is with the laptop. I am not sure why but it has something to do with the fact I do different things with the desk top (I think).
OK Scrolling is absolutely better with the trackpad, as are gestures and the trackpad is great when working in Aperture or iphoto not so much for me with photoshop. But when I am doing my daily grind, word processing, some web surfing, dealing with software that requires a lot of keyboarding, the track pad becomes a problem and I eventually have to go to the mouse. Like some one else said here it has to think (although for a very short time) this causes me to sometime get ahead of myself and then go back and make corrections. Also for me cut and paste is not as intuitive with the trackpad.
All that said I do not regret buying the trackpad and i will continue to use it based on what i am doing at the time, but I will not let my magic mouse go anytime soon.

Tracking pad issue with Os

Sometimes the track pad arrow is not responding correctly. The arrow will be responsive, the screen will blink and the tracking pad becomes very erratic.

YOU CAN USE 3.2.2 in Yosemite ! To bad for you if you already bought the 4.0 in the App Store... Here is my how to video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf_2z0DViBM

Track pad freezes and phone locks up

Why does the track pad freeze and then the phone locks up? It takes over 24 hours for it to reset.

That isnot normal. How much free memory do you have? look in Options and te "memory" in the search bar. Look for the number next to Application Memory.
Also, do you have any 3rd party applications installed?

Mac air ''11 track pad/ system problem?

Hello,
I have a mac air 2011 ill give more specs when i get home.
So i turn my mac on and it acts normal for a few mins, then the cursor starts flipping out and when i move my R.A.T mouse. I cannot click on anything st all no side bar no windows open nothing on the desktop. My track pad has been warn down over the past 3 years and ive been using usb mice to game since i got the laptop. The track pad is unresponsive and does not click and moves sporadically when i try to move it.
I recently updated my air to maverick last week. Prior to this it had no problems at all. Then again my track pad has been messed up for a while now, jst before this happened, it would occasionally stick or double click when i click once.
I have tried PRAM reset. It works for about 5 mins and then it goes crazy again. Thr two things ive seen online is get a t-6 hex screw driver and tighten the screws or go to apple. Any one else have this problem? Is there any simple fix or anything i can do? Also i hVent had time to get a screwdriver yet.
So basically i cant use my laptop now. I can turn it on for five minutes but if i touch the track pad or wait a bit, the laptop will jst spazz the cursor out and after that it i cant click anything. Also during the spazz period i saw that it sometimes goes to mission control, the screen where all of your desktops or full screen programs pop up. Help meeee i need to get back to gw2!! Thanks

Hi Jenny ...
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

No one here works for Apple.
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad?

Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad? Please Help!!!!

Hi,
I have been trying out the Command+ option and its not the same. Using the track pad to enlarge images and text was by far better and more precise than using the command+ option.....

ITunes becomes unresponsive when tracks added to playlist

I've had trouble with iTunes (10.3.1) for a long time. When I add tracks to a playlist iTunes often becomes unresponsive for a few minutes, even if it's just a couple of short tracks (mp3s), and sometimes it doesn't recover and has to be forced quit.
I have the Sound Check option unchecked. My library is around 49,000 tracks.
Any ideas?
Thomas

I'd love an answer to this, too. Running itunes 10.1.1.4 and iOS 4 on a 3GS phone. I haven't upgraded to iOS 4.2 because the original update to 4 was a disaster.
