Upon upgrade to OSX El Capitan, the built-in trackpad is not working properly, cannot control the mouse pointer. I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC and rebooting for several times. Still, it doesn't work.
Is there any solution? Please help.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
It does not work as in "nothing happens" or as in "the pointer movement is erratic" or something different?
Do you have any software installed that might be trying to enhance the trackpad (Better Touch Tool or something)? If so, make sure it is fully updated to a version compatible with El Capitan.
Other than that, the first thing I would try is to boot in Safe Mode, then restart again normally.
Thank you for your help.
Yes, nothing happens at all. You cannot control the mouse movement and point exactly on the specific direction you want. If you point to the left, it goes to the right. Its frustrating!
The software installed is Parallel desktop only.
Again, I have tried rebooting in Safe Mode. Still, it doesn't solve the problem.

That is not "nothing"!
Just wondering: are you talking about mouse movement or (two finger) scrolling? If the latter, what you want is to go to System Preferences->Trackpad and change the setting about "Scroll Direction"...

I am referring to one finger mouse movement. Previously using OSX Yosemite, I don't encounter any problem.
If I am using USB mouse, it works perfectly. You can drag and point exactly what you want.
