I have a 17" MacBook Pro (early 2007). I was having a problem with the touch pad button not responding. Tired using a USB mouse - still had a problem. Lost all control of mouse.
SOLUTION: Battery had swollen slightly causing pressure on area below touch pad. Got a new battery (under extended warranty) at no cost; problem solved! It took the "Mac Genius" at the Apple store about 2 minutes to diagnose the problem.
My keys are "sticking" and my mouse pad is not responding to touch.
Info:
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I have a IBook G4 using OS X. The "2" and "w" keys do not work. Was wondering if these keys can be popped up and cleaned under neath or if there is any other easy fix.

-The button still works, just not for sleep mode. Actions taken- I've reset all the settings, and erased all content and settings. I'm on a dialup connection so no software updates are possible at this time, but still suggest them and I'll get them later...
Switcher here. First off, I can't for the love of god understand why apple didn't include a simple eject button on the chassi. Second, the eject button on the keyboard does not seem to work. It may be that I'm noob and all, but I tried both clicking and holding down the eject button on the keyboard. Result: a clicking the tray does some normal noise but nothing really happens?

I have a question about the trackpad on my unibody macbook with the bad screen sadly . Is the "button" area of the trackpad (where the button would be) suppose to be unresponsive to movements, for example, when I move slowly along the button area, my mouse curser does not move at all while any movement in the middle is registered with high sensitivity. It only starts to register when I move towards to middle of the trackpad or quickly along the button. However, three and four finger gestures work perfectly along the button area. I have also notice that the corners of the trackpad are also unresponsive to movements.

I have just shipped my Mac Mini to its new home and I've had reports that the panic error is appearing on boot up: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart Button." This screen appears on the blue window just after the grey apple screen has disappeared and does not get as far as the desktop at the same point each time. We have tried to reinstall mac OS from the original install disk but holding the "C" Key or the "Option" Key down on restart doesn't boot from disc. Is there a way you can view the Kernel Panic log before you boot into Mac OS so we can try and pin point the source of this problem. I'm wondering if this could have been the result of the shipping that has caused some hardware to come loose.

I have tried seraching the internet for answer but without any result. A solution to the prblem is to press doublicate and then "archive" then i get the option to save in a specific loaction (notice that even after doublicating i don't get the option to archvie as).
-The problem also appears on exsisting pdf document and documents from other users.
- i open it in apple standard preview program
- The problem appaered 6 months ago after and general apple software upgrade.
- I don't have any "download" folder in my finder menu ( I don't know if this is a relevant information but could have somthing to do with the settings i.e. as administor even though it is my own mac).

I don't mind buy one of the programs like MissingSync, but i want to make sure its going to work before I purchase it.
I've tried syncmate's trial and it is on my computer, but it tells me to plug the phone in even when it is plugged in already.

People have commented before on the HP Touchsmart IQ770:and I'm sure we'd agree that it's a hideous monstrosity. However, HP have another model that looks quite a bit betterIt's not a true touch screen and the gestures don't look very intuitive but I'm beginning to think that Apple should be getting closer to releasing a touch desktop in one form or another.I can't think what the best route would be though. A slate has obvious uses but it's a risky product. True touch screen iMacs could increase cost for little pay-off if the apps don't work well with touch and they have enough trouble with those displays as it is doing the basics without touch features going wrong.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm debating whether to get the trackpad or the Bamboo touch.Based on this review, the magic trackpad might not function fully on pre-unibody MBP without the built-in multi-touch trackpad.Quote:
One limitation of the Magic Trackpad will affect owners of MacBooks and MacBook Pros introduced before mid-2008: any gestures not supported by the built-in trackpad won't work with the Magic Trackpad either. So, if you were hoping that the Magic Trackpad would give your old MacBook all the features of Apple's newer laptop trackpads, you'll find the magic missingAnybody had the same experience? Or with the subsequent updates from Apple, the issues have been ironed out?
When I wake up my MBA (re-open lid). I notice for about 5secs I can't use the touchpad, it's inoperable. But after the 5secs it starts working again. This used to be instant then after the Firmware update it does this.

I tried this and it does not work, it would be nice to have this functionality.
Like a keyboard with a laptop type trackpad that can handle 1,2,3, and 4 finger gestures?

I was wondering about touch screens for older iMac G4s. I don't know if anyone has ever done this but I'd like to put one of the older iMac G4s in the kitchen and would love for it to have a touchscreen. I've heard of people using the Wacom tablets behind the LCD screens in iBooks/Macbooks to make them tablet PCs. Would this idea work in the iMac?
