selectingitems and trackpad pointer moves its own

I was watching a video of Amazon and may have struck a couple of keys, or my hand slipped in the keys - I don't know, but pointer froze on the follow-up to the film bar at the bottom of the screen (not sure if this is relevant, or what is called in fact this bar) in all cases, the pointer froze and then began to move erratically in bursts on the screen , selection of apps, ibooks, photos, etc. and then OPEN them as if I had clicked. Literally goes haywire as if it had a life of its own. I have NEVER experienced this during the 11 years that I've had the Mac laptop. I don't know if trackpads wear out (my current MacBook Pro is a vintage 2012 and I debated update, but it was working very well.) I wonder how to clean the dust/debris under keys because I know it can be done and I was wondering if something got under the trackpad (seems pulled by the hair) but it's really another question for me to continue. Any help on trackpad possessed pointer would be appreciated. I don't see that this issue anywhere else... - Pam

Remove the bottom plate and inspect the inside.  Pay attention to the battery to see if there are signs of expansion.  If so, take it out and have a new installed.  An extended battery can affect the trackpad.

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

Ciao.

  • 9.0.2 CF multi server config, IIS site uses the connector bad, how do I change the connector to point to its own instance of CF

    Hello

    Yesterday, I found that an IIS site that is supposed to be connected to its own instance of CF is actually connected to another instance of CF. Our configuration is the following

    Windows Server 2008 R2, Coldfusion 9.0.2 Multi server enterprise edition, IIS 7

    Instances of ColdFusion: P1, P2, V1

    Clusters: Primaire1: contains P1 & P2

    Site1 IIS Web site is connected to the Cluster primaire1

    Site2 IIS Web site is connected instance CF V1

    I myself stopped instance CF V1, but IIS V1 site was still running. After much digging, I found this site V1 is not actually connected to the CF P1, an instance of CF V1 instance. I used the web site1 at CF instance V1 connection configuration tool. In IIS the JWildCardHandler site1 points to \JRun4\lib\wsconfig\3\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll. JWildCardHandler for site2 points to the same directory \JRun4\lib\wsconfig\3\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll. Here is my dilemma. How can I get JWildCardHandler site2 to point to its own folder under \JRun4\lib\wsconfig, say 14 instead of 3. I don't want to use the web config tool becauseI don't know if it will delete the folder ...\webconfig\3 if another site is still using it. I saw the web configuration tool remove the folder when you remove this connector in the tool.

    So I thought that I would try to manually configure the connectors. That's what I did

    Copy the folder wsconfig\3 wsconfig\14

    en...\wsconfig\wsconfig.properties - ensured site2 exist and referenced instance CF V1

    ...\wsconfig\14\jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini

    serverstore = /JRun4/lib/wsconfig/14jrunserver.store

    127.0.0.1:51007 = bootstrap - 51007 is the port of the proxy that the JRun Management Console is instance CF V1

    ... \wsconfig\jrunserver. Store

    proxyservers = (in file #3 set for P1 and P2 proxy ports)


    Then, I went into IIS and changed JWildCardHandler from site2 to \JRun4\lib\wsconfig\14 \jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll instead of \JRun4\lib\wsconfig\3\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll. After you restart IIS sites site1 or site2 came. I went back in and came back JWildCardHandler back to the \JRun4\lib\wsconfig\3\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll site2 and they both come. I think that I restarted CF both times, but really forget that I was in a bit of fashion panic.


    Is that what sounds like it should work? Does anyone know of any files that I missed trying to configure site2 to point to the CF V1 instance? Any ideas are appreciated.


    Joe


    What I understood why 2 Web sites were using the same instance of Coldfusion. 2 Web sites share the same files, sharing the same web.config file. Change the JWildCardHandler, in IIS, for a website has changed the web.config file that is shared by both sites. If I find a way around it, I'll post my solution in case anyone else runs into this situation.

    Suggestions, please?

    Maybe you can try to start with a Live CD/USB. If this problem occurs also with the OS Live the question is related to laptop. If not, it s a Windows problem and perhaps a recovery would solve the problem.

  • Microsoft 'Fix - it' created a restore point of its own

    I downloaded microsoft "Fix - it" and he has made a point of restoration of its own and does not allow me to go back further.  I have a problem and need to restore to an earlier date. I uninstalled Fix - it, but the new always restore point allows me to go further.  How can I remove Fixit restore point without format my whole computer

    System Restore is not a panacea.  Why do you want to use a previous system restore point?

    Sometimes the system restore fails, usually when you most need.  For this reason, some people don't rely on the system restore and make their own backups instead.

    In order to back up the registry, C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT is both free and easy to use.

    For more full backups, you must decide whether to back up only the data or the entire system.  It is easy to back up the entire system using a disk cloning/imaging application.  Here are a few:

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    Acronis True Image Home
    EASEUS ToDo Backup
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    XXClone

    You might cut back on the part you want to save as a

    (be aware... If the original photo is not high quality...
    your cropped section can be grainy)

    Many photo editors have the ability to crop but since
    I don't know what you have installed... I'm going to suggest
    Windows Paint... (Start / Programs / Accessories /)
    Paint) to help you get started.

    Try to open the picture in paint.

    File / open... Find and select your photo.

    In the top left panel, left click the Select button.
    (looks like a rectangle made up of points)

    Left click / drag a rectangle around the portion of the photo
    that you want to copy.

    Now, you'll see a dotted line around the selected area.

  • Precision touchpad 7510 periodically freezes, the cursor moves its own

    Just got a new Precision Mobile Workstation 7510 a week ago. Out of the box and before installing updates or new software, the touchpad randomly every minute or so, stop answering the entry and the cursor would be very slowly thumbs itself (usually slightly crawling upward and to the right). This would happen for anywhere from a few seconds to 10 or if, before the touchpad would start working again. No change in the past week.

    The pointer stick works as usual at the time the touchpad does not.

    I tried all of the suggestions I found recommended or would think:

    • Reinstalling Windows from the original image (did this two times)
    • Reinstall the driver (I already had the last being, but I also well reinstalled and then removed and reinstalled version freshly downloaded from the latest version provided on Dell.com)
    • Disable the pointer stick
    • Deactivation of gestures
    • Unplug all devices, including the power adapter
    • Restart in Mode safe (persists, although maybe the normal touchpad driver is still loaded in Mode safe)

    I was about to call Dell (I support Pro) thinking that it is a problem material, but interesting, there is no sign of trouble in the compatible installation screen mouse Dell GUI BIOS. I guess if it's a hardware problem, it would still appear there.

    FWIW, the icon of Dell touchpad in the toolbar State system sometimes, but not always, poster touchpad entry at the center of the touchpad when this happens. The movement of the cursor is very slight - at a rate of a few millimeters to each instance, for a total of about an inch of arrow for more than 10 minutes (I'm looking at do it now while I have this post from my old machine).

    Suggestions for anything else to try before I call support and schedule a call for a touchpad/palmrest of replacement?

    Don't want to jinx it, but... it's been about 24 hours that the tech came out and replaced my touchpad and things worked great since then.

    It seems that it was a material that delivers a replacement is resolved.

    Thanks to Terry for configure sending tech support without making me go through all the hoops to talk to tech support. I have long been happy with Dell ProSupport, but Terry help me set up just to do very easily. Thank you!
