Erratic touchpad MBP 2012

Several posts on pressing the right and left corner and hearing a "click"; however, this has not worked for me.
Is there (or is there not) a known problem with the MBP 2012 with the touchpad having erractic moves? It moves all over the screen and I am unable to control what the mouse does.
Thanks

It is better to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer checked out.
Best.

How do I use my iMac(late 2009) as a monitor for my MBP(2012) or my MBP(late 2010) without software?

I currently have a late 2009 iMac, a 2012 MBP, a mid 2010 MBP and a MinDisplay Port (MDP) male to male cable. I am trying to either use the iMac a second monitor for one of the MBPs or mirror the display.
The iMac has a MDP port and is running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
The MBP 2010 has a MDP port and is running OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion)
The MBP 2012 has a Thunderbolt port and is running OS X 10.9 (Maverics)
When I connect the 2010 MBP to the iMac with the MDP cable the screen of the iMac goes black and the MBP flashes blue. I have been looking for a solution and I have tried:
Rebooting them in the order of: connecting the cable, turing on the MBP, then turing on the iMac
Whilst they are on simply plugging the cable between the two
Connecting them with the cable while they are on, then pressing cmd-f1 on the MBP
Connecting them with the cable while they are on, then pressing cmd-f1 on the iMac
Pressing cmd-f2 on the iMac, whilst there are connected, only toggles a black screen on the iMac
Pressing cmd-f2 on the MBP doesn't do anything
Every time I connect the MBP 2012 to the iMac with the MDP cable, the MBP screen goes black and the computor screen becomes unresponsive but the screen stays on and I have to reboot the MBP.
I will really appreciate anyone who has any information on this topic.
Thanks

If the iMac is a 21-inch model, not without using a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.
If the iMac is a 27-inch model, click here for information.

Windows 7 booting time on MBP 2012

Hello Everyone,
I really hope that someone will be able to help out. I've tried looking for an answer but could not find anything quite similar to my problem...
Yesterday I've equipped my MBP 2012 with SSD with windows 7 installed; I've then used BootCamp 5.X to install all the drivers and that part runs perfect!
My concern is that every time I start up my Mac I can see a white screen that lasts for about 40 seconds, only then it jumps to windows boot logo.
My question is whether everyone with Windows 7 on their Macs experience the same wait time? Is there anything that can be done so that it starts booting windows right away?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!

No answer for this problem?

Can I upgrade my hard drive of MBP 2012 without voiding the warranty

I am planning on purchasing a new MBP (2012) 13" with the miminum Hard drive capacity. I wanted to replace the HD with my own SSD. I am comfortable doing it myself, but will it void the Apple warranty?

As long as you don't break anything and the new part is not covered by warranty/AppleCare.
Read this for valuable tips and prevent problems.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
In fact I just upgrade the RAM today to 16GB and only took about 5 minutes.
Also your going to need to know how to reinstall 10.8 onto the drive.
Hold command option r while Ethernet cable connected to a router or modem (power reset)

MBP 2012 - connecting to Imac 27" 2011

Hi,
Planning on buying the new MBP 2012 with Retina. Wondering if I can connect it to my Imac 27" via thunderbolt and access the USB 3.0 of the Macbook? In other words, I would connect a USB 3.0 card reader (Compact Flash, XQD etc.) on the MBP but save it on my Imac. Do you folks think this could work?
Thanks

"Apple has no plans to implement a client driver for Windows since there is no Thunderbolt SW stack available for Windows like there is for Display Port."
That is a little bit funny since Gigabyte and other big companies have said that 2014 is the year that they are going to implement Thunderbolt in many motherboards.
"GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards are the very first to offer fully certified dual onboard Thunderbolt™ ports. Capable of connecting up to 12 devices plus 3 digital displays simultaneously with breathtaking data transfer speeds that can transfer 1TB of data in only five minutes, GIGABYTE Thunderbolt™ motherboards offer the fastest connection interface on the desktop PC."
Have you asked Apple about that? I dont understand why Apple is crippling Thunderbolt on their devices...

Problem connecting Huawei E303 Mobile Broadband Dongle to MBP 2012

I have just purchased the Huawei E303 USB Stick for my mobile broadband from Singapore's StarHub. According to the instruction sheet, the laptop should detect the USB automatically and the mobile broadband should install itself automatically. My MBP 2012 does not detect the USB drive so I can't install the mobile broadband. My MBP run Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you think it's the problem with Huawei or Apple? I have seen many forum posts on this issue but no one seems to offer definite solutions.

Just my personal experience : I just installed a E303 on my MacBookPro Retina 15" running 10.8.2.
All went smoothly (took a bit of time) for the first time.
I unplugged the modem and pluged it back a few minutes later, and the modem doesn't show anymore, and is not recognized by the previously installed software. LED status show booting.
Then I tried on a recent macbook Air 13", 10.8.2 as well. modem is not seen either.

Slow Boot MBP 2012 SSD on 10.8.3 - Tried several fixes

Hi,
I have a MBP 2012, I upgrade it with Samsung SSD 830 256GB and 16GB RAM.
Boot: 50 seconds
Shut down: 20-30 seconds (uncheck documents on iCloud preferences and seems to shut down on 3 to 5 seconds)
Since the begining I figure how to make it work properly.
I made a backup with SuperDuper! and later, after some time when I want to repair permissions I realize I have lost my Recovery HD, after some Google magic I reinstall ML and solve the problem.
Start up time was too slow, then I do some search and anfer SMC + PRAM (NVRAM) reset everything seems to work fine, for some time.
Every time slow boots and shut downs come back, I do more searchs and find some fixes, but those fixes dont work the sameway for everybody, even on same machines and dont last forever.
Uninstall Little Snitch, Clean Caches, Fonts, Uninstall Parallels, Do some vudu with Cocktail and Onyx, Reinstall Mountain Lion, Update my System to the last 10.8.3 with the Combo Update, Selected my boot drive on system preferences (I just have one disc on my mac, no Fusion Drive so I dont understand why I have ti try this but did it).
I repeat some of the fixes, but always the same result, Boot time always on 50 seconds.
After some research on forums I look at mi Console and found those under BOOT_TIME

There is a 30 some seconds delay after this failed, on every boot I do.
Any clues to help me? I reported slow boots and shut downs on ML, hoping to see it solved some time on the near future, maybe on 10.8.4
This is the only thing "wrong" with my MBP, after boot is fast and love to work with it.
Thanks.
Sorry if I don't search enough, but try everything I found and can't solve it.

Waiting for an answer I decided to start from RecoveryHD, delete my Macintosh HD and Reinstall Mountain Lion.
I have my data safe, I just have to copy my Documents and stuff and reinstall a bunch of apps if everything goes fine.
I would like to solve this other than have to do a Clean Reinstall.
Last night try to do a clean reinstall, but nothing change, still at 50 seconds boot.
Start to thinking if its something related to my disk. Seems to be the in the last firmware available for the SSD 830. TRIM is not enabled at this moment on my mac, and write & read speeds are fine.
After last boot found this:

I will continue updating this if I can fix it.

I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi.

I have several problems with my MBP 2012 13"

So I have several problems with my MBP 2012 13", and apparently according to Apple Store guys there is nothing wrong in their system checking devices they use. I list the problems briefly:
- After connecting USB devices laptop gets stuck for up to 30 seconds
- Clicking on WIFI toggle in finder gets Finder stuck
- Spotlight gets Finder stuck for 10 seconds
- Sometimes apps closes without reason
- Some desktops randomly becomes "unreachable" (I select it and it automatically switches to the one on the right)
- Facetime sometimes doesnt activate camera
- Trash bin takes forecer to get rid of files (once one hour for 200MB)
- Fan works at full speed randomly
- Screen becomes dark by itelf and computer goes to sleep, making impossible for me to wake him up. I have to open and close lid several times and press multiple times the power button.
I showed Apple Store guys the finder problems and the USB ones but they connected their things and said there is no problem. Laptop was bought new on August 2012.
What I am supposed to do?
Thanks

when I hold on the menu button it doesn't fade anymore, like it used to. It just goes to the previous menu
If you are talking about the backlight, I think this was changed by Apple in one of the recent updates, so the only way to change it back would be to install an earlier version of the iPod software. I don'tknow why your albums are not updating, but often a Reset and/or Restore will fix problems like that.

MBP 2012 upgrade to os x 10.8.5

There is MBP 2012, mac os 10.7.5
I read, than I can to upgrade my os to os x 10.8.4 free.
How can I do that?

What a lot of people are reporting is they pay upgrade to 10.8 and go through the pay procedure etc and then are not charged afterwards for it.
I don't know this for sure and people could be just saying that to trick people to upgrade to the latest OS X version. Since 10.8 is so similar to 10.7 and the cost is small I don't see that as a serious issue if it was.
Else you call Apple and provide your machines serial number located in Apple Menu > About this Mac > More info or via the System Profiler.
They will check their records and credit your AppStore account with it if it's not already there.

Why does watching just youtube videos causes my fanspeed to be very audible! im using a retina MBP 2012 june

why does watching just youtube videos causes my fanspeed to be very audible! im using a retina MBP 2012 june

Video use a lot of CPU/GPU resources and thus creates heat. The fans speed up in order to dissipate the heat. If you open Activity Monitor, it will show you the % of CPU that the video utilizes. At high speeds, the fans are very much audible.

MBP 2012, 10.8 no bluetooth connection with iphone 4s

Dear community,
since the update to ML I am not able to connect my iphone 4s with my MBP 2012.
I told my iphone already to "forget the device" and tried to configurate it all new, but it tells me that my iphone isn't supportet by my MBP.
You have any idea how i can configure it again so i can use my iphone for internet on my MBP?
Sincerly,

MBA 2012 13 i7 8Gb or MBP 2012 13 i7 8Gb

Hi at all,
I need a suggests to choose between MBA 2012 i7 8Gb and MBP 2012 13 i7 8Gb ( anche after I put in SSD ).
I've already a iMAC mid 2011 27" i7QC 3,4.
I heavy work with .NET and Windows for web programming and legacy, mobile applications for iPAD/iPhone and soon, too.
So, I will execute Win7 with Parallels ( or at most with Bootcamp, but I don't like )...
What's your opinions.
Thank you.
Bp

I would go with the 13" MacBook Pro. You can install a SSD and RAM yourself and won't have to rely on those outrageous Apple prices. I also run Parallels instead of Boot Camp. I just recently upgraded to version 8 - with full Mountain Lion support. I've never had a problem with it. I don't like Boot Camp, either.
I would only buy the Air if you're primarily interested in a light piece of gear - the MBP isn't that much heavier and you have far more options with it than the Air.
Just my 2¢...
