Why won't my trackpad work in the mailbox?

My trackpad works just fine in any other application, and I swear it was working in mail before. I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I am running into difficulties getting it to work as well as it should. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Look at this Apple support article and see if this is of any help:

In addition, check the MBP battery which resides under your trackpad. They have been known to swell up and interfere with the trackpad operation.
Ciao.

Why won't my trackpad work properly and the cursor will move on it's own and open windows and menu's randomly?

I bought my Macbook Pro less than a year ago and the other night I was watching a TV show in itunes and I couldn't use the track pad. I was able to finally shut the Macbook down and the next morning I rebooted it. It was still acting weird and the trackpad was jumpy and would randomly start opening windows and menus as if someone was contriolling it remotely. I used my bluetooth mouse and it seemed to work ok until tonight when I was copying some files wirelessly (or trying to) and evey time I tried to select files the cursor would jump to another screen and open a menu and then select all and open all my file folders. I was able to get that to stop openin ght ewindows but I still can't use the track pad and the machine acts like it is possesed and has a mind of it's own. I have made sure file saring and screen sharing are off and the battery shows to be normal from doing the control+battery test. What is going on and how can I get this fixed?

Why won't SSH/SFTP work after the 10.6.8 update?

I've tried just about eveything I can think of and have been googling information for awhile now but I figure I just ask the community!
I just recently updated to 10.6.8 and now I cannot remotely log into our Linux machine running RedHat. Strange because my computer is the only one that seems to have a problem with this and it was working just fine before the update. Sometimes I'll get a "Connection Refused" error msg and other times I'll get a "Connection Timeout" error msg. I typically use the NoMachine NX client to log in, but even the ssh commands from the X11 or Mac terminal give me the same error messages. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

Unfortunately... the MBP shut down after some minute... also in safe mode !!!! The problem is not solved !
Next step, boot in safe mode again and log in do this first:
On the menu bar go to the "Go" option menu.
Then go to utilities.
Open disk utility
Click on your Mac OS X Partition (Macintosh HD in most cases)
Click "Verify Disk"
If the results say "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", run it a second time just to make sure.
If the volume structure is OK then click the "Repair Permissions" button.
Shut down and reboot normally.
If repairing permissions does not work, you'll have to try and install the combo update. But before we go through that run the steps I suggested above. I would suggest however to download the 10.6.8 combo update to a usb stick in case we have to reinstall it.
Good Luck!

Why won't my email work with the correct password?

tthe mail I submitted through my iPad has worked just fine, but lately, it says I can't send mail because my password is incorrect... Yet I still continue to receive mail. I have made sure my password is correct but it doesn't help. I tried uninstalling my mail then reinstalling it, but same thing... I get mail but I cannot receive it.

I'm having the same problem with a brand new iPad. Have deleted and recreated the account many times, reset passwords etc etc etc. Now BT have said to take it into an Apple shop! Funny that Apple support yesterday said to contact my email provider!!

Why won't email filters work on the Wells Fargo spam ?

Whenever I put any case variant of "WellsFargo" on my "From" filter, the spam gets through.
Whenever I put a filter on "Wells Fargo" within the "Body" of an email, the spam still gets through.
When I manually run the established filters on the very folder into which the spam has lodged, it is not removed.
How is this happening ?

This second post resulted from my original post being blitzed away (and not showing as a tamjk posting on my profile) when I first signed it in.
The whole problem arose from Mozilla's stupidly roundabout process for registering new members . . . something already commented on before by several others but to no avail whatsoever.
This "bug" that is taking years to fix . . .
My ass.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

I decided to try and boot from the Tiger discs, but when I did, all I got was a screen that looked like a blizzard of pixels.
The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
Thankfully No.

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

Hello Jesslb23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,

HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

Why won't my camera work in Facebook video call?

Have a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. When I tried to use the video call feature in Facebook, it told me I didn;t have the necessary java to execute the install. I downloaded the file suggested online (Java for OS X 2014-001: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start features) and the install went through. However, when I try to make a call it connects, I can see the other person's video and hear her/him but my camera does not activate (No green light. Person being called can hear me, but no picture appears for them). FaceTime works fine. Skype works fine. Google+ Hangout asks me to give permission to use camera, but hangs up. I also tried to make a FB video call in Safari and that did not work either (same problem).

Because something is wrong.
You've done well determining that there is nothing wrong with your Mac or its Apple Software.
