Why isn't my tracker pad allowing me to scroll up and down

How come I can't use my tracker with my fingers? I must have pushed a button somewhere. Can anyone help get me back on Track!

System Preferences >Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom
Enable "Scroll direction natural:".
Best.

My trackpad won't allow me to scroll up and down with two fingers

my trackpad won't allow me to scroll up and down as usual .

Check your settings in System Preferences>Trackpad.
Your trackpad may need a thorough cleaning. That often will restore functionality.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bat for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on the screen but it allows me to scroll up and down by sliding my fingers on the mouse.

My Magic Mouse is not moving the pointer on screen. However, it is allowing me to scroll text up and down by dragging my fingers on the mouse. How can I recover full use? I am using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. All indications are that the mouse is connected through the Bluetooth connection and the batteries have significant life in them.

Have you tried this:

Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.

Why can't I use the arrow keys to scroll up and down websites anymore?

When I'm on any website and I click anywhere in the website there is a blinking bar - sorry, don't know the technical term - like you would find in any new document waiting for the next character to appear to the left of it. It's almost as if FF - not the super-team - want me to add test to any page I find but it is just a weird mistake.
I assume it's because of this glitch (assuming) that when I go to press the up or down arrow keys it no longer cascades the screen smoothly like a parade of content; instead it just hops from top to middle to bottom and that's when it does anything. What gives?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General section -> place Checkmark on '''Use Smooth Scrolling''' -> Remove Checkmark from '''Use AutoScrolling''' -> click OK
Check and tell if its working.

Why isn't storage increased if a film has been deleted and trash emptied?

Why isn't storage increased if a video has been deleted and trash emptied?

This is very strange. Here are two screen shots from my computer, before and after deleting a 14 gB folder. Notice that the number in Used: is 14 gB less, as it should be. What numbers are you comparing?

HT204407 why is the display on my icloud page so freaking big. It's magnified about a hundred times and why can't I scroll up and down. The thing is frozen. It's very irritating.

Why is the display on my icloud page so freaking large. It's magnified about a hundred times. It's like I can see only one letter at a time. I'm using a PC, but I recently bought an Iphone, so I was going with their technology. But this Icloud display thing is just a pain in the ***. I can't even use the scroll up and down feature. It's just a frozen solid block.

My display for iCloud on my desktop is the same. Magnified and can't find a way to fix it. It is the same for all the accounts in my family. It is magnified on my sign in page.

Hi daneeo, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
In the Control Panel for your Mouse there should be an UltraNav tab. Under that tab are all the settings for the touchpad. Check to make sure scrolling is enabled.
If you do not see an UltraNav tab in the Mouse Control Panel, download and install the UltraNav driver and utility:

Why doesn't the track pad zoom feature on my Macbook Pro work with the newest version of Firefoz?

The track pad zoom feature doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. It did on the previous version. I used to use Firefox as my default browser, but no longer use it very much due to the incompatibility of this version on my Macbook Pro.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
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. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Why won't my track pad work to sign on?

I just got my trackpad, paired it and then I installed Lion. Now when my computer goes to sleep and I then try to sign on I have to plug in my mouse because the trackpad will only move the arrow but it won't click on my login. Any suggestions?

If it is the trackpad on the MacBook has the battery swollen? It is under the track pad and there are reports on the forum that it can affect the trackpad.

The button on my track pad keeps acting like it's pressed down.

I just noticed that the button for my track pad on my '08 MacBook Pro is acting like I'm pressing it down when I'm not even touching it. I've tried to reset the track pad and restart my computer but it's not fixed the problem. I'm not exactly tech savvy so any detailed help would be welcomed.

If the trackpad surface does not move down when pressed, the battery may have swollen and is pressing on the bottom of the trackpad. The battery may explode or catch fire. Take it to an Apple store for inspection.

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

See if any of these items apply:

Track pad won't stop scrolling

I have a BlackBerry Curve 9300 about 2 years old. Running OS6. This weekend I started having problems with the track pad. After cleaning it, several battery pulls and trying some other "fixes", my track pahd will not stop scrolling on it's own. Any thougts on what I can try?? Had to revert to my 8310 to get by......

Hey (kbeaudry74,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest going through all the steps in this KB article and if the scrolling still doesn't stop it might be hardware related and I suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.
