Firefox 4 doesn't allow MacBook Pro Trackpad features to work, for eg. zooming in and out by "pinching"
I downloaded Firefox 4 and immediately noticed I could not zoom in and out by using the two finger "pinch" action used on MacBook Pro trackpads.
I reverted to Firefox 3.6 and it works just fine.
Could you please advise me how to rectify the fault on Firefox 4
Thank you
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.

My MacBook Pro trackpad is not working
My Macbook Pro was purchased in September 2009. The trackpad is not responding to clicks on the computer. The cursor is present and you can click the trackpad just fine, but it will not select what I click. It's very frustrating. It worked fine, but then all of a sudden it isn't. Help me with this issue please ASAP!

Macbook Pro trackpad partly stops working after 1 touch
I have a very strange problem with the trackpad on my macbook pro (late 2008, fully updated, SSD, 4Gb).
When a mouse is used all is fine. WHen I touch the trackpad ONCE, it will stop working correctly, it will:
- not detect a single click
- will detect a doucle click
- mouse moving (one or two fingers) no problem
IF the SMC is reset (unplug/remove battery/hold power button 5 sec/put battery back/ plug in power/start up)
all is ok, BUT after 1 time use the trackpad the same appears.....
I have sofar tried:
- SMC (described)
- PRAM reset
- disk utility (recover/fault detect)
- restore from time machine
- Yasu
nothing new is configured, the only thing i can imagine is that I moved the mac, while it was running, from its place and walked away from the place were the connected bluetooth mouse was located.....
anyone any clue?Tx Ogelthorp,
But this did not work; one strange observation:
While not touching the trackpad from start after reset it works with a seperate mouse as it should.
Then one touch on the trackpad and it is ignoring the single click BUT SO IS THE MOUSE?
so no hardware fault I guess as it is exactly repeatable...
any other ideas?

I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?
Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again. -
MacBook Pro Retina sound stopped working unless I put in and remove my headphones
I have a MacBook Pro Retina and the audio only works if I plug in my headphones and then pull them out. I hear the ding when I turn the computer on but nothing else once it's booted. Does anyone else have this issue? I confirmed that my sound settings are correct.
If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the headphones will be receiving the audio signal. When you insert and pullout your headphones you are probably tripping an internal switch that was stuck and now enables the sound to come from the internal speakers. This is a normal solution to that problem, but really should not occur. A trip to the Apple store genius bar might be a good idea. You still must be within the warranty period.

Macbook Pro...will work for a few minutes, then power goes out all together
Hey guys, tried finding an answer to this somewhere else on the forum, but came up empty. If this has been answered elsewhere, feel free to direct me there.
I have an older macbook pro (2011) that's in rough shape, but worked well up until recently. The symptoms I'm experiencing:
-The computer will charge (all lights are showing green on the charger and the computer)
-When I try to turn it on, sometimes it will turn on fine. Other times it will light up, then shut down immediatly
-If I remove the power cord and insert it again, sometimes it will boot up
-When I can get it to boot up. It will run fine for about 1-2 minutes, open all the programs, then shut down/black out all together (as if the battery was removed)
I'm assuming this is a hardware issue, or a cord issue, but not sure where I should be targeting my efforts. Any ideas? Thanks !Hello FrancisN,

Can someone help me?How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?
What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS. -
My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.

2011 MacBook Pro Trackpad jumping around
Ever since last night the trackpad on my mid-2011 15" MacBook Pro hasn't been working. The cursor keeps jumping all over the place and I can't really get the trackpad to respond to my touches. I can eventually get it where I need it to move but it takes a lot of effort.
I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM but that doesn't really do anything. It helped once at first but quickly went back.
Any other suggestions as to what the problem is?I think you might be right about the swollen battery. I'm aware of the stuff in the article that Kevin linked to. I know that having wet fingers can lead it to do that and it's not like my hands would have been wet for 24 hours anyway. And I'm using a standard Apple three pronged grounded power adapter, so not a problem with using an aftermarket one.
I'm pretty sure that it is related to either the battery or power somehow though, because after disconnecting it from power and trying to use it for about 45 minutes, the problem went away. Worked pretty normal as I was using it for the rest of the time but the issue came back shortly after re-connecting it to power to charge the battery again.
Unfortunately I can't take it to an Apple Store to have it checked out though because I'm in a remote location for work for the next 3 weeks. -
I was able to use the two finger swipe gesture on my macbook pro trackpad in firefox 7. It was working fine but has just stopped working. It does work if I hold the alt key while swiping but that seems a bit pointless. The only thing I have changed on my mac is that I installed Alfred. Has that broken the gesture?
Sorry to tell you this but it's starting to sound like a hardware issue.
Reason being is because youi've had this issue when you had 2GB of RAM, and running Leopard to Snow Leopard then to Lion.
Even after you've reinstalled everything it was still giving you issues.
Ok, try this one. Open the back of your MB, take one RAM out of the top slot, then turn your MB on and see if it still freezes. If it does, then take the lower RAM off the botton slot and install it on the top slot. Turn it back on. If the problem stops, then it could be your RAM slots. -
Hi, I've been having a few issues with the trackpad, mostly with clicks lately. Today the cursor went rogue and started opening all sorts of programs and files, moving to different screens and opening things there, generally going crazy and not responding when I tried to use it. I rebooted several times before it decided to stop on its own -- I'm not sure the reboot had anything to do with it. I took a video of it with my ipod, but it's too big to upload here. Any suggestions before I open cocktail and and run repairs? Thanks for any help you can offer.
My Macbook Pro started to experience the very same erratic behaviour. At first I noticed that it would happen if the MBP was on a flat tabletop surface. If I placed the MBP on my lap, the magic pad seemed to operate properly. It was very consistent. Since this is a capacitative surface, I tried an experiment. I placed the MBP on a tabletop surface where it's exhibited the malfunction. Then I used my other hand on the flat surface areas near the magic pad while using my right hand to manipulate the cursor. It appears that touching the casing with my other hand seemed to calm down the erratic behaviour. When I used only one hand, the erratic behaviour returned.
I'd searched several forums to no avail. No one seemed to have a solution or an explanation so I just lived with it.
However, by coincidence, I was experiencing what I believed was an unrelated issue. One of my USB ports was no longer responding to devices plugged into that port. While searching for a solution for the USB port, I stumbled across a post where the user suggested resetting the SMC. I'd never heard of that before this post. In his post, he mentioned that erratic Magic Pad behaviour could also be caused by the SMC.
He instructed to
1. Attach the MagSafe power cord
2. Power off the MacBook Pro
3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
4. Release them all at the same time
5. Then power on the MacBook Pro
Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.
For reference, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" with the Intel I3 processor and Lion.
I hope that helps somebody else as it did for me. -
Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call. -
MacBook Pro trackpad constantly clicking
I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro 5,1 15' 2.53 GHZ-4GB Ram. Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
My Macbook Pro trackpad is stuck constantly left clicking
some right clicking
moving around by itself
not always responding completely to touch.
In text boxes when typing it constantly erases text
Pretty much unusable when this is happening.
It will happen as long as it wants to and start working normally again with no rhyme or reason I do not see anything in particular that seems to trigger it.I did not just start this thread without searching the net and here. I am just looking for some opinions on if I should take it in for repair or if there are any other things I can try that I may have missed.
Here is a list of what I have tried so far.
Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
Checked battery for bloating (even though that would not cause this problem would only cause it to stick had to replace once already).
Booted into safe mode (logged into seperate admin account I never use problem started again in safe mode after about 30 seconds of using trackpad).
checked trackpad screw (was fine but tried loosening it and tightening slightly to see if it helps.
Turn off, Remove battery, hold power for 5 seconds, replace battery and boot.
Using external mouse exhibits the same behavior (tried both USB and different wireless mice) This makes this problem seem more likely software not hardware
One thing I have not tried is deleteing the plist files for the trackpad I read that fix somewhere although I can not find the link now. If and when it decides to stop again I will try that next. I am A+ certified not ACMT but I can replace anything on it if needed so please mention anything you can think of even hardware. I would rather not restore the OS as I have about 300GB of data and transferring it to one of my servers or external drive would be a pain, time consuming, and I have read it does not solve these types of issues.
Please help
Sincerely,
Frustrated but still happy Apple user.Well after some further investigation it seems I may have had some malware. I receive a lot of packages and this one seem to have slipped by my spam filter. It's called Mal/JSRedir-J of course I also forgot to re install Sophos Antivirus after I did some software development work and was running strictly through my citrix server which is very secure. *Slaps self in face*.
I am running a thorough scan now but that trojan popped up. I was able to install Sophos after a reboot before it started acting up barely got my password in on install before cursor started flying around the screen.
So far so good. Hopefully it stays that way, and maybe this will help someone else. Virus is not always the first thing to come to mind when I think MAC, and this is my first infection in 4 years

Problems with playback of dvd on another dvd player
When I playback a dvd I've created, once in awhile I'll get a little stutter in the picture and sound. Not too often, but it occasionally happens. If I reverse the dvd picture to somewhere just before the stutter and play again, there is no stutter.
