How to fix Trackpad error on MacBook does not work, slow operation

One of the frustrating errors of Mac users that Trackpad is not working. Since you accidentally adjusted certain settings on your device that caused the Trackpad to crash, the mouse pad was frozen and not sensitive, or there was no response to any actions on Trackpad. Certainly this will make us more difficult to use, access and use applications. So with the case of Trackpad errors, how do we handle them? In the following article, we will synthesize the Trackpad errors for the Mac and include a way for users to fix errors with their device status.

1. Error Trackpad due to settings in Settings:

As mentioned, the faulty Trackpad is because we accidentally adjusted certain settings in Settings. This problem is quite a lot of people and makes you mistake the Trackpad. However, the solution is extremely simple when you just need to adjust on Settings only.

First, click on the Apple icon above and select System Preferences and then select Trackpad .

Step 2:

Next, we will see a list of actions on the Trackpad, along with how to do it with 1, or 2 fingers. In the list below, you just need to find the operation on the Trackpad that is corrupted and reset. With the case:

1. Right- click does not run : click the Point & Click tab and select Secondary Click. Next, click with 2 fingers or click on the lower right corner.
2. Zoom error with 2 fingers : select Scroll & Zoom tab and turn on Zoom in & out and Smart Zoom lines.
3. No rotation error with 2 fingers : select Scroll & Zoom tab and turn on Rotate.
4. Expose does not run : More Gestures tab and then select App Expose.

2. Non-sensitive cursor error, no speed:

Suddenly the mouse on the computer slowed down when moving, not sensitive when we use it. To fix this, click on the Apple icon and select System Preferences then select Trackpad .

In Trackpad interface, we will adjust the Tracking speed slider . We will drag the slider to the default number 4. In addition, you can also adjust the increase or decrease of the level in this slider, depending on the convenience of each person.

3. Double click does not work:

This problem is not too big and difficult to fix, as well as the error set on Settings only. We just need to adjust the operation between the two presses on the machine. We need a quick operation so that Trackpad does not record two individual touches.

If the user has corrected the operation but still has an error, you can proceed to fix the following:

Step 1:

Click on the Apple icon and select System Preferences and then Accessibility .

Step 2:

Next, we will click the Mouse & Trackpad item and adjust the scroll bar Double Click Speed . When we drag the slider to the left, we will make Double Click faster. In contrast, when pulled to the right, the distance between two touches will be further apart. It's best to base it on Apple's default, which is the third step from right to left.

4. Trackpad is completely disabled:

This may be due to hardware and software reasons. With software errors, on the Mac there is a function to automatically disable Trackpad when we use a removable mouse.

Click on the Apple icon > System Preferences> Accessibility> Mouse & Trackpad . Next, uncheck the check box at Ignore built-in trackpad when . Click OK to keep Trackpad working again as usual.

As for external errors, hardware errors are mostly due to your hands being wet and sticky so that the mouse cannot be used. You just need to wipe clean on Trackpad for reuse.

5. Failed to delete the plist file:

If the user has corrected the above methods but still cannot, then you can reset all Trackpad settings on the device. You need to delete the Plist files related to Trackpad. First of all, visit Finder> Go menu> Go to Folder . Type the keyword / Library / Preferences and then delete the files below.

1. com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist (Magic Trackpad)
2. com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist (Magic Mouse)
3. com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist (wired USB mouse)
4. com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist
5. com.apple.preference.trackpad.plist

Finally we restarted the computer so that Trackpad works again. However, this is no need to use it because there are many machines that do not have the files on the list. Or dangerous if we accidentally delete the Plist file that will lead to other problems, so it is best if we don't know, we can ask the technical person to help.
