Yosemite Built-in Track Pad Scroll Issue

So, upgraded from snow leopard to yosemite and hate it, but the only way to run anything new software wise is to upgrade.
Anyways, I notice when im using two fingers to scroll ont he track pad it will randomly stop and stutter. I dont have any issues using one finger to move the mouse, just scrolling up and down on safari, firefox, or any other web browser. 
I've seen a lot of posts related to the magic track pad, but this is just my built in track pad. Everything was working fine before the upgrade. Also ive unchecked the gestures.

You can adjust the trackpad here:
System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click
Turn off Tap to Click this will require you to actually click the trackpad instead of just touching.
You can also adjust the Tracking Speed using the slider.

My track pad scrolls but will not click any ideas ?

My track pad scrolls but will not click any ideas ?

If when pushing down neaer the bottom of the trackpad you can't get it to click and you don't hear an audible sound and feel it click then the trackpad has something stuck under it or it has failed. You'll need to take it in to an Apple store to have the trackpad replaced or removed and cleaned if that is possible.

I have a MBP from late 2009. It works fine in all regards except recently, when an icon is grabbed by the built-in track pad, I can't drop the item and have to shut my computer down to resolve the issue. How do I reinstall the driver for the trackpad?

Ok, I thought the subject line was the extent of what I could type. My trackpad has been working fine for over two years now. But recently if I accidently (or intentionally) drag a picutre that is highlighted on any website, the cursur never lets go of the image and all "clicking" capabilities become useless. It even manages to lock up the rest of the computer, such that trying to restart manually doesn't work. I litterally have to hold the power button till the MBP turns off and reboot. I have looked for a way to unistall and reinstall the driving, but I'm either redirected to a non-Apple website or else I'm directed to the new "Retina" MBP section of the Apple store. I don't have any other mouse that is connected to this computer, so there shouldn't be any weird interference between mutiple mice.
Is there an official applie support section where I can either download the proper driver to simply resinstall the orignal 2009-2010 MBP trackpad driver, or a way for the "Software Update" under the Apple logo in the top file bar to acknowledge this problem an automatically patch it? I'd rather not have to go into an Apple store just to get this quirk (which doesn't happen 100% of the time anyways) figured out. I simply don't want it to occur while I'm in the middle of a larger project and then get stuck being unable to save a document and I have to forcefully restart my entire computer (nuisance aside).
Thank you,
Hamilton

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

Built-In track pad - one finger features not working!

I am experiencing a problem with my MacBook Pro built-in Trackpad, after upgrading to Lion, the one finger drag and highlight is not working. Only the tree fingers option is woking for drag and highlight.
I have another Macbook and the one finger drag/ highlight is woking fine after Lion upgrade
The three fingers drag and highlight is non useful, how can i enable the one finger drag/highlight?
Any solutions please?

You can adjust the trackpad here:

Bluetooth Track pad contectivity issues

I have bought a new Magic Trackpad but found out that my iMac didn't have bluetooth installed. So, I bought a bluetooth USB adapter that said it was compatible with Apple products. The bluetooth USB adapter connects fine with the iMac and will discover the Magic Trackpad but will never pair with the Trackpad. Does anyone know why it won't pair?

Failed to identitfy the Bluetooth adapter. It is an IOGear Bluetooth 2.1 USB Micro Adapter.

Anyway to change how the track pad behaves on Yoga 13?

Hi
I just bought a Yoga 13 and while I can change the speed the mouse moves is there anyway I can change:
1) the speed the track pad scrolls a page?
2) can I change the direction the page moves when I move my hand?
ON the pad when I swipe downward the the page moves upward ?
Is there anyway to make it to where I can swipe down and have the page move down?
The pads I use at work work that way and its far more natural to me that way
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The're all in Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings>Settings
Turn off Ënable Reverse Scrolling and you can adjust the scroll speed in the same place

Wireless keyboard and track pad in one

Isn't there a wireless keyboard with built in track pad available for the macbook. Seems to me that there should be - or is my only option to get the keyboard, the track pad and the extra thingy that joins them together? I want a wireless set up exactly like my macbook (i.e. small trackpad below keyboard letters.

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

Track pad stoped working properly it moves and scrolls but doesnt click, its not a hardware issue. h bjjbow can i start an update download with the keyboard shortcuts ?

Which model Macbook/trackpad do you have?

Since maverick download my inbuilt track pad (macbook pro) is hit and miss with scrolling up and down (this is safari, chrome and FF)

Since maverick (os X 10.9.1) has been installed my track pad on my mac book pro (late 2011) is hit and miss, reset it worked for a bit then seems to die. Doesn't matter what application I am using. This is on all internet browsers as well FF, Safari and chrome.
I took it to the apple store and they couldnt find anything wrong with it (as ive had other issues with it such as a kernal panic and optical drive spitting out dvds and not burning cds properly)
Its only scrolling it seems to have an issue with. All the othe gestures are fine ive even tried switching all the gesture off and on again, restarting the mac but the same problem persits a while later. It can be working for 10minutes or 8 hours and then boom no longer works.

Remove Growl, DiVXHTML and other DIVX software (use MPEG4Streamclip or Smartconverter or Wondershare Videoconverter for videos you need to convert for your own use, and not for giving to others unless you own the copyright for it). Update your Adobe Flash from http://www.adobe.com/
Shut down Parallels except when you need to use. Disable Citrix and your File Sharing for VPN or remote access for Citrix except for when you use remote access. Find out how to remove Peerguardian. The Mac has its own firewall which blocks all except ping attacks through Apple menu -> System Preferences -> File Sharing. Use a hardware router to block ping attacks. Parallels has its own built-in networking firewall for Parallels itself.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

New Track Pad Issues After 10.6.4 Update

I understand that the Mac OS X 10.6.4 was meant to address some track pad issues. I was not experiencing any track pad issue on my Late 2009 MacBook Pro prior to the update. However now my laptop is almost unusable!
The pointer tracking remains accurate on all areas of the track pad, however most clicks are not recognized, requiring an average of 3-5 clicks to initiate an response. Also the bottom half of the track pad surface now seems less responsive to input than the top half. Multitouch gestures like selecting and dragging often lose track of my fingers before I've completed the action. Scrolling still seems to work fine.
Again, I've had this MacBook Pro for 9 months now and prior to the 10.6.4 update the track pad was highly responsive and accurate regardless of how I placed my fingers. Please look into this matter immediately! Thank you.

Exact same problem here. I hadn't notice what you write about the bottom half of the trackpad being less sensitive than the upper one, but now that you said it, I think the same thing it's going on with mine.
I think my problems didn't appear right after I installed 10.6.4, or at least I didn't notice until 2 or 3 days ago. Maybe it worths the try to make a downgrade to 10.6 and check if the problem stop. Let's hope that someone came with the answer to this things, I really hate to use the 'tap to clic' function.

Track Pad not working properly after upgrade to OS10 Yosemite

Since upgrade to OS10 Yosemite, my stand-alone Apple Track Pad has lost the ability to "double-tap select and drag." Only the three finger drag works now. My Apple Track Pad is paired to an early 2009 iMac 24". How I can restore the "double-tap select and drag" functionality? Any clues much appreciated.

Ralph, thanks for the quick reply. All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag." Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior. Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click). Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.

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.

Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
As Jobs sez; And more thing.
Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
God help us.

Hi, me again, more data.
I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).
