Having a major problem with my trackpad on the MBP Retina - this morning it started acting very erratic and random, not letting me click all the time, and moving on its own. I'm going to call Apple right away and get an appointment, but I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar to this situation, as it's a pretty urgent problem for me. Thanks for any and all help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Hi,
Get the MBP-R trackpad update from apple.
Here is the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1543
Hope this helps.
I had a similar issue, running Mountain Lion though. I tried the MBP-R update, but it wont install on 10.8. For me, turned out the problem was a stuck trackpad. I clicked in the upper right corner of the trackpad and it unstuck and is working normally now! Hope this helps someone...
I rec'd my MB Pro Retina an hour ago and am having the same problem with the tracking being erratic. Like tantonovich, I could update because Mountain Lion is installed. Frustrating as I was excited about its arrival.
Ohh! This worked for me as well (so far...)
Thanks
This fixed it fot me
FWIW:
I had a similar problem. Over the phone, they told me to reinstall the OS, but that didn't solve the problem. The trackpad sometimes went back to being okay, and I think it was after a few hours where I didn't touch the computer, but then it would get stuck again and be impossible to use. I suspected that it was hardware and may have something to do with heat (see below). So I took it to the Apple store where they kept it for 4.5 days, and replaced the whole case. (The bill said $310, but I have Apple Care, so no charge).
It's worth noting that my previous MacBook (2007, 17") had a similar problem at some point, which was due to the battery heating up and warping the frame under the track pad. I suspect that here it's a similar problem.
Tantonovich's solution of pushing the upper right hand corner worked for me.
