New mouse does not work - mousepad to blame?

I bought a new iMac with El Capitan on the matter in February.

Yesterday the mouse started to act strange.  It will only move the cursor vertically and not horizontally.

I tried to figure out why, and it seems that it is the mouse pad, I use which is causing the problem.   When to use the mouse pad, it is where the problem occurs.  But without the mouse pad, the cursor can go in all directions as usual.

I use this mousepad everything with no problems until yesterday.  Someone at - he ever heard of something like that?  It may have something to do with static electricity?

My first suspicion would be a faulty mouse. It carries the same warranty as the Mac, it came with.

It is possible to confuse an optical mouse with special textures or models. Which is not a default fine.

  • New mini optical mouse does not work

    Hi all:

    I used a mini mouse optical for a few years now without a single problem. I just plugged into the USB port, and that's all. Yesterday it died on me, so I bought a new.

    The mouse does not work and the cursor stays frozen at least that I move it using the touchpad on the laptop.

    OS is Vista
    Satellite P100 series

    More information:

    -the little wheel on the mouse will allow me to scroll the page to the bottom, but it's just what works
    -the drivers are all up to date
    -restore the computer to an earlier date
    -run a full virus/malware scan, nothing came
    -USB are good; I tried all ports, including the ports where something else that works has been connected
    -After I restore and connect my mouse in I saw the computer install the latest drivers

    The only thing I can think is that the new mouse is defective but I doubt that. However, it is possible I suppose.

    Can anyone else think of any other possible explanation and how I can solve this problem. Could something changed in the BIOS? Is there a setting that has changed I have to look?

    Thanks for sharing this with us!

  • The mouse does not work on my new Satellite L750/L755

    Hello world

    I bought a toshiba Satellite L750/L755 but the mouse does not work, I have no control on it that if I use an external mouse, while I have put pressure on the touchpad.
    I tried the following options:
    I updated the driver - I changed the operating system

    but nothing, still the same problem. Next laptop will be a Mac for sure.

    I look forward to hear from you

    Daniele

    Hello Daniele

    It's really strange that the touchpad does not work even if you have installed the right driver and installed the operating system again. At the first moment, we can say there is probably a hardware problem, but please be sure touchpad is listed in the Device Manager and also active correctly (FN keys).

    Check it please all the properties of the mouse.

  • Satellite C855 - mouse does not work - keyboard freezes.

    Hello

    I tried several times to call on the long waiting support phone number and no answer (queued for centuries)

    I had a problem since 1 week with my laptop Toshiba as below

    The trackpad (mouse) does not work despite to remove the battery, pressing f2 and FN then f9 and f10 as mentioned in various forums

    Also, the keyboard is blocked completely several times - I checking also tried other things like BIOS - active trackpad

    And finally we have also made the SYSTEM RESTORE to an earlier date when everything was going well on laptop

    Serial number: 2D138575R
    Model: Toshiba Satellite 2F0 C855

    Help, please!

    There are a few options that you could check.
    *-> BIOS update.*
    In the case where there is a new version of the BIOS of your laptop, perform the update on your device.

    *-> System restore / restore *.
    You wrote above you already set the laptop to a previous data, but I'm don't think it is good enough. It s advisable to get the laptop back to factory settings.
    How?
    Using the previous created recovery (disk or memory stick flash) media or using the option to drive HARD recovery (power of the device, press F12 and select HDD recovery)

    Of course the HARD drive running recovery would lead to the loss of data, back up crucial data.

    Since the upgrade of my new tab does not work, I press on the + icon and nothing

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • new tab (+) does not work after the upgrade to v 23.0.1 forefox

    I had firfox version 22 I guess... Now, today morning I upgraded to v 23. It displays a message from one of the plug-in is not compatible with wud and therefore be disabled. now later I still once downloaded the plug in to check if its works or not but TI worked (as I had already guessed), or its display in modules or plug-ins.

    Now I don't get why the new tab does not work. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I googled the question and tried to reset firefox and the new tab in subject parameter: config. But nothing helped.

    I think that its because of this plug-in I've read somewhere that the parameters can be getting replaced by one of the defective Add-ons.

    Help, please.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

  • The new tab (+) does not work, or the file/new tab feature

    The new tab (+) does not work. The function of the file/new tab does no more work. Both had worked correctly until noon today. I haven't added any software, plug-ins or extensions today, I do not have the Ask toolbar. I tried several of the suggestions made on this site, nothing helps.

    This problem may be caused by an extension that does not work in the current version of Firefox.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a mouse external or just the touchpad?

    If an external mouse works correctly, you can use it to do a recovery install. This can help you to solve the problem, if this just s software.

    Not least have last but you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:

  • 3480CT Accupoint mouse does not work

    I just bought this laptop for use at home as a small portable computer which can be connected to our wireless network and can be used anywhere around the House easily.

    In any case, I have and the accupoint mouse does not work, any more than the mouse buttons. The person I bought said he thinks its because the correct driver is not installed.

    I would really appreciate if anyone can help.

    Thanks Mark

    Hi Mark,

    I see that the Web Site of Toshiba UK does not list the reader pionting device for your laptop model. So I assume that it should use the standard version of Windows XP.

    Check in for your pointing device Device Manager to see if it is showing up with errors. Also, you should be able to run a troubleshooter for it and perhaps also a calibration tool. (You may need to move around with the arrow keys or tab).

    If all else fails, you can try to recover your system with the recovery CD and that the pointer is still not working properly, then this would indicate a hardware fault.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra A3 - Creative wireless mouse does not work

    My Creative wireless mouse does not work while the touchpad is installed.

    Even if I turn off the touch pad, the seal of the mouse does not work.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you
    R.P.

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. I guess you have some software installations to your external device. Install it and it should work.

    As much I know external mouse functionality does not depend on the touchpad settings.

    Good bye

  • the Lenovo g500 mouse does not work after the upgrade to windows 8.1

    Hello

    If the system is still under warranty,

    I suggest that to call a repairman,

    If this isn't the case, you can try to check the keyboard and the Touchpad connection.

    You can consult this service manual

    Wireless Microsoft notebook optical mouse does not work with g42 - 410 us laptop

    Hi Mary,

    Did you install all the necessary drivers, firmware and/or software Intellisoft of the mouse and then restart?

    You have good batteries in the mouse?

    Verify that the mouse is compatible with working computer and your operating system?

    Have you checked the mouse icon in the control panel (after all of the above) to a setting to activate?

    Contact the vendor of your computer and see if you need to update something else.  When I installed my wireless mouse, it wouldn't work until I updated the touchpad, the firmware drivers and.

    Good luck!
