• HP Envy 15: Charger buzzing/top (?) heating and trackpad behave erratically when it is plugged.

  It is a HP Envy 15 starting from 2014, the new model (?) with the intel i7, SSD and GTX850. Don't remember the name of the actual product, sorry...

  In any case, since last night, whenever I plug in the adapter there is a humming noise 'loud', gets hotter before (I think) and the trackpad behaves erratically.

  Read somewhere that it could be a grounding problem?

  So, what to do?

• Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

  Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

  I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

  It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

  Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

• Stamp tool behave very strange

  Photoshop CS5 running on an iMac with 10.8.4.

  For some time the stamp tool and the heal tool behave very strange, basically can not use them any more. When you use the stamp for example when I select the source of the past that a new image - a copy as if it created a new layer (but this is not a new layer) is created and its stuck on the mouse so when I move the mouse the whole picture gets dragged... strange. Can someone help and tell me how to solve this problem?

  Thanks Peter

• mouse very erratic iMac after update of the sierra; almost unusable

  BMI 5K, end of 2014, 4 GHz I7 mac 15.1 2.7. Since the update for Sierra, the machine became almost unusable. The reaction on the trackpad and keyboard time slowed considerably. Moving one finger on the trackpad does not produce a result so that no matter where 10 seconds to as long as a few minutes! Have rebooted several times, and at night last the cursor just froze. liquidation of forced closure. Very frustrated.

• Magic Trackpad 2 very good, but too sensitive?

  Hello

  I just magic keyboard and trackpad, second version two, to use with my mid-2015 15 "MBP 2.8. I am very happy with them, but I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the sensitivity of the magic trackpad. I fly over for a second something it opens, or verified, or...

  I checked Sys Prefs, didn't really see something but perhaps to that I don't know what I'm looking for.

  Any ideas to make it less sensitive?

  The best

  Elmer

  Hello Elmerlang,

  Have you looked at this?   Go to the Apple logo (upper-left) > System Preferences > Trackpad.   At the top are three options.  Choose to point and click.

  Then you can play with the click (beginning in middle), then follow-up speed (about three places from the left).

  And that still leaves room to go to less sensitive.

  Good luck.

• Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

  Hi all.

  I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

  The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

  I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

  But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

  Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

  I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

  It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

  A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

  I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

  Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

  Thank you for all the helpful tips.

• Equium M40 - cursor usually frozen - Touchpad very erratic

  My cursor seems to freeze when the laptop is turned on for awhile (heat?) and then suddenly works again after days and days of frost. Have reinstalled the drivers (which worked for 24 hours), sent to Toshiba last week who has reinstalled everything and it worked again for 24 hours only, has been slain for worked days and now it suddenly after all the frozen screen and he would answer no to the keyboard either so I had to turn off at the power button but I have done this before and it didn't work before - WITHOUT RHYME or REASON. This is a brand new machine. WHAT CAN I DO? It makes me mental.

  Hey richie

  It's not easy to say what exactly is the problem. Maybe your unit switches to hot?
  It is also very important, that this laptop should be free of any objects that can cover the ventilation openings. There should be place around the unit so he cans "breath". Sometimes can help to update BIOS. You can also change the performance of the processor and method of cooling of the unit in Toshiba power saver utility.
  Maybe it helps.

  Best regards

• Very erratic PREVIEW function

  In Captivate2, the preview function - including all its variants "project / this slide/next 5 slides"-works correctly for a while, then suddenly stops working. The cursor "generation slips" is displayed, but after she disappears, there is no preview (never even get this message 'generation of swf file').
  When this happens, the only way I can get an overview of what I've done is to publish the entire project - a gigantic waste of time, when the project is very large and I just want to see is worth 5 slides in preview.
  
  Someone else knows it?
  
  I posted originally a version of this problem a few weeks back, when I first upgraded to Captivate version2. I thought I had solved the problem at the time, with the help of a representative from Adobe - the installation of Flash player on my system has been broken. But at this time, because the main cause is that Flash player has been broken, even the PUBLICATION function didn't work. Now the problem is back - but definitely Flash player IS installed correctly, and publish works.

  Hi UncleErnie (how is this Pinball?)

  I wonder if what follows is not what seems to be the case here. Captivate guard trace of almost everything that you do. So, occasional dialog boxes that you see (as for example when the merger of an object in the background) where it does not track. So, essentially, you have an unlimited number of undo levels. I tested and abandoned after about 240 or more.

  As all this would consume resources of the computer, I have always recommended a normal restart of Captivate (perhaps at the lunch hour) just for files temporary clear and whatnot.

  So I think the accumulation of temporary files and related issues can be what is at stake here. Also, how big is big? I see others show movies in hundreds of slides and I shudder.

  See you soon... Rick

• Spectrum 360: wifi connection very erratic on new spectrum 360

  I bought a Lenovo - Yoga 3 Pro 2-in-1 13.3 "laptop touchscreen - Intel Core M - 8 GB - 256GB Solid State Drive - silver and I loved it. The problem was when I was out of my house, I get a bar or lose internet connetion. Other mobile home do not have a problem connecting to the internet. Happened to a fine is a problrm that seems to affect Lenovo laptops.

  Given that I hated return this impressive to have machine this is a no-go. In any case looking for another solid state rocket I decided (based on reviews) buy HP spectra.

  HP - Spectrum x 360 2-in-1 13.3 "laptop touch screen - Intel Core i7 - 8 GB memory - 256 GB Solid State Drive

  From the first day I had real problems of connection points critical wi - fi locations. At home their seems to be no problem, but at Starbucks, work and other places is hit or miss. Sometimes, it will connect after that several attempts like power off and then on. Best Buy tried to tweek it by removing something?

  When I called HP I was routed to the India (I think) and I tried my best to understand the person on the phone but he spoke a strange language! Evertime I would like to ask a question or make a suggestion as to what I thought, maybe that's the problem, he put me on hold and have to ask someone to the answer. We went back - and - forth with my questions and sound (please hold on for 2 or 3 minutes, I need to ask someone) for almost an hour. His answer would be to check the router, duh my router at home works fine and I'm not having this problem with other laptops. It is everplace else. I asked if I should check each router of all the places I visit. Have you tried to reboot your PC? Really?

  From me with little computer experience so it was clear that this person had NO experience in the computer! HP let me talk with an EXPERT or at least someone who is compassionate. I had no choice but to hang on.

  Calling new HP at Best Buy and others could not understand the problem. I was even once connected to the India but this time, a woman with a strong accent. Apparently, she looked at my previous complaints that I was trying to explain the problems I've always had. Before I could say anything, that she said, you don't have a problem with Wi - Fi, you have a problem from router then to call the router manafacture. I said that I was on my place of work and that my another PC Asus laptop and other portable of peoples are not having problems. She would not listen to reason and said at this time you do not have a problem then call the manafacture burped and it will solve your connection problem! This does not work HP!

  I and others who have tried to solve this PC. I tried a system restore to the factory, (it is a joy to have to reload all my programs. I have down loaded drivers and a lot more in fact, I tried everything you read on the forms of HP and nothing!

  I paid $1150,00 plus tax for this PC and now will have to take a loss and sell because I can't afford to not have a working pc. I'm done trying to fix this and will not pay to have a new HP PC fixed!

  I have the x 360 as well, different model

  The way I solved it my network problems (and bluetooth) was to buy an adapter USB Bluetooth Asus on Amazon about $19.00 and an adapter USB 802.11b/g/n/ac Realtek (Premiertek) for about $20.00.

  I'm done buying HP because I buy the equipment to make it usable. By the way, don't ask me how, but having a 802.11 USB card operation seems to make everything more quickly, or maybe it's turning off the integrated network adapter which makes the computer work better.

  Bottom line: more pain less free fix is to get the USB adapter. I can't treat their speaking Erdu of technical support, it's a shame, HP leaves no American jobs in their tech support: another reason to fuck off HP.

• My touchpad is erratic. Therefore, I installed a mouse, but he keeps going offline and must be reconnected. Using Windows xp. Pls answer to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  The touchpad behaves very erratically. This is why the mouse is used. But the mouse disconnects very often any time (no frequency or cause) and must be unplugged and plugged again - sometimes every 2-3 minutes.

• Trackpad acting odd.  Insensitive to touch and top with 1/3 doesn't work.

  HI, my Macbook Air is just by its care of apple for 3 years and the trackpad has starting acting weird.

  It is very sensitive to the touch and the top of page 1/3 in particular is almost dead, unless you rub hard.  He gets very nervous to use, and it has now got to the point, it is unusable.

  Another side effect, it seems that the keyboard is blocked sort of as if SHIFT CAPS LOCK is activated when the trackpad is odd.

  If I connect a magical mouse and disable the trackpad, and then it works fine and no problems with the keyboard.

  So my thought was the trackpad is defective.  I bought a new replacement apple trackpad and replaced it thinking that would solve the problem, but it's exactly the same way - so it doesn't seem like the trackpad and would point to something between the trackpad signal and I think that... the card mother maybe?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi carpediembill,

  I understand that your MacBook Air trackpad behaves erratically. Fortunately, we have an article (link below) which details what to do in such a situation.

• Trackpad MacBook Pro late 2011 does not not after upgrade

  I just update the OS in my MacBook Pro (late 2011) which worked perfectly well 'El Capitan' to 'Sierra '. Everything went, smooth and pleasant. but now, the trackpad is completely erratic, is in itself (such as move and open programs like possessed). I tried several suggestions from apple such as checking for updates, check the settings, delete all the gestures, etc. I'm assuming that the material is very well that was perfectly fine yesterday... any suggestions please help.   -Note; I have to use an external mouse, and the latter is very well.

  Hello Med_,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that after upgrading to Sierra, your MacBook trackpad has become erratic. I know that my trackpad is an important part of my daily use, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm here to help get this resolved with you.

  You did an excellent job so far! Then I recommend the system management controller (SMC) reset. This system can solve some unexpected behaviors. Follow the steps below:

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Unplug the MagSafe from Mac power adapter.
  3. Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in the MacBook and MacBook Pro computers).
  4. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
  5. Reconnect the battery and the MagSafe power adapter.
  6. Press the power button to turn on the Mac.

  The LED on the MagSafe power adapters could change State or temporarily disable when you reset the SMC.

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If the problem persists, test this problem in safe mode. This will allow you to exclude the software as the cause. To help get started in safe mode and additional steps, use the steps and the link below:

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  See you soon!

• MacBook air trackpad crazy acting

  Hi all

  the trackpad on my macbook air has been acting and acting very erratically, starting a couple of weeks and only gradually getting worse/more irritating. There are periods where it works completely fine, but less so. Basically, even with light touches and not a double-click, the trackpad selects as he wants, clicks and double-clicks on even with light movements and clicks when I'm not touch in a way that he should take this action. I reset the laptop, I fixed the disc and I am at a loss for what could be wrong. the keyboard works fine, everything works fine. It was not any spill or weird damage to material which could explain this. I checked the settings of the mouse and trackpad and everything I had put in place to be. It's become really difficult to use the mouse without undesired shutdown of windows, select and then delete text, etc.

  I use a macbook air from 2012 and yosemite 10.10.1

  are there troubleshooting tasks or resets system I can try to help with this? all solutions? I thought I could just buy a mouse external bluetooth or something and just disable the use of the trackpad completely, but I wanted to see if there could be something else to do before that.

  Thank you!

  Try the reset SMC

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  Also, it looks like the trackpad is triggered at all? What happened on the back side of the lower case? If the battery is expanding or goes wrong, it could put pressure on the lower part of the trackpad, causing it to act strange.

  You can check the status of your battery by clicking  > about this Mac > system report > food

  Only other thing I can think is a dirty trackpad. If you use the lotion regularly, this can make the trackpad go wobbly. Make sure it is clean.

• My iPhone 6 is erratic when outdoors

  My iPhone 6 is now 1.5 years, upgrade 9.3.5 just a few days. Most of the day, I'm in my own environment of Home/Office Wi - Fi and the phone works perfectly.

  Yesterday (and today as well), when outside, with my phone trying to find a connection Wi - Fi to connect to-he started to behave totally erratically... Yesterday (while my friend drive on the way-Hey) was REALLY WEIRD, while trying to answer a text message that it wouldn't let me type, the app disappeared suddenly, he launched a few other apps by himself, he finds a place at random on Google Maps, I wasn't able to close some of my application open (slide up) and a few minutes I was not yet in a position to turn off the phone... It was a bit scary, as if someone else has taken over my phone... From the little I've read on this subject, is what others call, I think, 'Ghost touch '...

  The only other change I made in the last days was replacing my chipped glass shield with a newer model that has a frame of aluminum around it.

  ... Any clue?

  Thank you!
