Re: [chuck-users] Trackpad issue

Some time ago I noted that I needed to use a different device number for the built-in track pad. Mouse 1 vs mouse 0. I suspected that Apple might be getting ready to introduce a touch-screen Laptop, which would of course be device 0. That never happened yet tho. Did you try a different device #??

I had this problem with my (sadly now defunct, as of a month ago!) 2011 MBP after years of use. You can try:

1. Resetting the System Management Controller. Shut down your Mac, be sure the power cable is plugged in, then press (left side) Shift-Control-Option and power-on keys all at the same time. Hold for about 5-10 secs, and reboot if it doesn't automatically (I can't recall if it does).

2. Reset the the PRAM/NVRAM. Shut down your Mac. Push the power-on key and hold down Command-Option and the "P" and "R" keys and hold them while the machine boots.

3. It may be a battery issue. The older batteries used to swell up when they got tired, and it may be pushing on the back of your trackpad.

hope this helps --

I have an older MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012). [actually I have 20 of them for a class] Recently updated to 10.14.16 (Mojave), and am using miniAudicle 1.3.6

** I can no longer receive any mouse/trackpad data **

The Device Browser recognizes both the internal trackpad and an external USB mouse. hid.openMouse is successful. hid.name() works. however it will not receive any live data from the mouse.

Keyboard works fine. Accelerometer works fine.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
