Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0 Problem

Me too... I have this exact problem. Very annoying, and I can't always get it to stop by just clicking a bunch of times... I have had to restart more than once. I also wish I could back out of this update.

Have had same problem. But only twice. Force closing Finder did the trick. I know, shouldn't be that way, but it did get me out of it.

happened two more times. restart fixed it again. but someone said force quitting the finder fixed it for them. didnt work for me. shame, because its quicker than a restart.

Yeah, since this update, I've got stuck in drag mode a couple of times... Clicking around randomly eventually resolved it, but it's really annoying... Inertial scrolling just made me feel less precise, so I turned it off...

This update really messed my trackpad. 1 finger tapping is too sensitive , dragging doesn't work properly. Pinch to zoom isn't as responsive as before .

I've also had the issue with being stuck in click mode. Every now and then the trackpad will think I'm clicking when I'm not, and it'll stick in click&hold mode for a while. I've gotta click around a bunch to clear it. Happens a few times a day, so it's often enough to be frustrating.

Any ideas on a fix or rollback? I'd be happy to just get rid of this update if that would fix the problem.

I also have problems that started the first time I turned on my Macbook Pro after installing the updates and would like instructions on rolling back to the previous version. Just a few moments ago, I was on the phone with someone and needed to open an email. I had troubles with the mouse/trackpad pointer jumping all over the screen and moving in the opposite direction as my finger. I couldn't do anything until I turned on my bluetooth mouse, at which point the trackpad started working again.

I unfortunately installed the July 27, 2010, trackpad 1.0 update on my early 2010 macbook pro and have had multiple problems since. Three times I've had to cold ****/shut down and lose work because my trackpad was stuck on drag lock and would not release. Does anyone have a solution to this?!!! The trackpad was working fine until I installed the update and would gladly uninstall if I knew how.

I don't see any Apple solutions on this page or any other. I guess Apple "Support" is too busy making money on iPad and iPhone to pay attention to their core customers ---- the mac user. Remember us...?

I called support twice about this, and the two people I spoke to said they weren't aware of any issues. The second assumed it was hardware related but I assured him it wasn't. Hopefully somebody is listening and preparing a patch.

I'm experiencing two problems after this update on a mid-2007 Macbook (2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD). I documented them in the USB, Firewire, and Bluetooth subforum.

I just unfortunately downloaded the update yesterday. My mouse is completely random. I can click on certain links on web pages and not on others. Links that always worked before. I do not use tap to click. I would love to do uninstall the update. Apple, Your not doing so good lately. I haven't tried the update in Bootcamp yet. I think I will wait that one out.

Same problem after installing the Trackpad update 1.0. The mouse is blocked dragging things and i need to click several times before I can work again. Very annoying as it happens almost continuously now. I tried disabling the new intertial scrolling without success.
Hopefully we'll get a patch soon from Apple, because at present I cannot work.

I am having the same issues with the constant selection of links and inability to click. Usually a restart fixes the problem but it comes back. Any advice? Just started after the trackpad update.

Someone guided me towards a pref the update must have turned off under the spaces menu to fix my cmd+tab problem.

Still, I cannot turn off my Bluetooth radio even when I disconnect and unpair ALL devices from my macbook (mid-2007 revision). I get the message box: "You cannot control your computer if you turn off Bluetooth at this time."

Agreed. Mine won't "unclick" so you end up highlighting or dragging stuff you don't want to. And then mysteriously it's fine again. No, it's not a "swollen" battery as someone suggested. It's after the trackpad update.
