Flush MBP Track Pad

I have a track pad that is flush on the top left and its a little lower on the top right is this normal?

Let me rephrase this. I have a Mac Book Pro 17inch that has a track pad that is flush on the top left and is a little lower on the top right. I am wondering if this is normal and or if over time the top left would become higher than to unibody over time.

  • MBP Track Pad Button Thinks I'm Still Touching It (How to disable?)

    So once again I have another issue with my macbook pro. I'm long out of warranty and I don't have applecare. I already took it to apple to get an estimate of how much it would cost to just replace the whole topcase...$300 (for a stupid trackpad button).
    They said its the only way but I want to be entirely sure in case he had no idea what he was talking about.
    Here is the issue:
    I saw on some threads where other experienced similar issues but were under warranty and got lucky and were able to have it repaired.
    The trackpad works perfectly fine. The button however thinks you are stilling pressing on it. If I click once and move the cursor the begins highlighting when im obviously not holding the button down (Don't bother telling me to disable dragging in the trackpad options that isn't the issue). It will keep on doing this after I keep on pressing the button 5 more times, and after clicking it when it has gone away it comes back.
    You can tap on the trackpad and that will work perfectly fine, and honestly I can live without the button. However, even if I don't touch the button it is still recognizing something clicking the button and begins to interfere with whatever im doing with the touch pad.
    This brings me to my next point, if repairing the button is going to blow a hole in my wallet, is there a way to disable the input from the button completely. I can just live with tapping on the touch pad. Is there some software that allows me to program the computer to ignore the button or is there some wires i can cut? Even if it is something as ghetto as jamming the button with an object somehow, I'll do it.
    PLEASE HELP I need to disable this button because I dislike using an external mouse
    Thanks in advance

    hey thanks for the quick reply. I tried it and i messed around nudging the cable but it still does the same thing.
    I also forgot to mention that if you press the button really hard, like quick and solid poke on the button, it tends not to drag and think I'm still holding the button. But if you tap it lightly like one normally does, it continues to "drag" whatever the cursor was on.
    Could something be stuck? Apple here in the Philippines was being stubborn and told me that I'd have to give mine and it will most likely just be repaired at the cost of the $300 I mentioned above.

  • MBP keyboard and track pad not working

    Today the keyboard and track pad on our mac book pro laptop just stopped working. The mouse connected to it by usb continued to work but we can't type or anything. We tried the ^F6 keyboard shortcut but it did nothing since of course the keyboard isnt working. And it is also not the number lock key. The computer was working fine all day up until now. It is just under a year old. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It appeared yesterday and then magically "repaired" itself. My MBP was fine today. Tonight the problem is back. No response from the keyboard and track pad. Track pad works fine using a USB mouse. My problem appears at start up. The cursor is in the usual upper left hand corner. It can't be moved. Restart, sleep then restart do not solve the problem.
    Suggestions?

  • My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

    My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

    Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
    Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
    other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
    You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
    Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
    I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

    Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
    If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
    Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.

  • MBP running windows 7 in bootcamp.  Magic Track Pad doesn't work properly

    Hi,
    The trackpad on my MBP works great with my Win7 OS. I can use to fingers to click and scroll etc. For some reason when I use the Magic Track Pad it doesn't allow me to interact the same way. I've tried installing some 3rd party apps that are meant to make Windows work with the device on NON apple hardware but that hasn't helped. Anyone have any clues?
    Best,
    Jay

    When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

  • I uinibody MBP and Track Pad driver compatible?

    After a grueling few weeks, I FINALLY got the apple drivers to install on my unibody MBP (boot camp 2.1) without error. Of course, installing and working are not the same thing.
    The track pad works poorly at best. You cannot right mouse on the start button, for example. I have checked downloads, and I have the latest. Is there any way to make this work right?
    Thanks

    Had same problem with Vista..this fixed it.

  • Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

    I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
    which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
    I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
    it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
    i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
    As Jobs sez; And more thing.
    Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
    I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
    God help us.

    Hi, me again, more data.
    I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
    And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
    BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
    I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

  • HT5628 How to fix track pad and audio drivers if we install windows 8 on macbook pro??

  • Uneven track pad

    I have a 17 inch MBP and I notice that the track pad is uneven on the left and is on the right. The left side goes up and is a little higher than The base of the unibody. It this normal? And am I the only one that has this problem?

    Alas, there doesn't seem to be any problem with performance as a result of the uneven track pad. Aside from which, there's no way to determine the reason for the uneven trackpad surface.
    This is an issue that has been mentioned in Apple Forums for over four years, now. If this bothers you - and judging from the post, it does - I'd present the case at the Apple Store's Genius Bar. Apparently, you're still not under warranty, but there's a chance that that Apple might perform the repair gratis - or quote the price. I'd document the problem with similar posts to bolster your case.
    I'm interested in knowing how this comes out. Post here with the results.

  • I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

    I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
    Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

    You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

  • How can I connect a second Bluetooth track pad?

    I bought two track pads to use with my Lion OS on my MBP. One for the home and one for the office. The first one I set up was flawless. When I tried to repeate with the second one it would not connect. I tried to rename the first and the new name was accepted in the preference list but the details kept the old name. Any insight?

    The names of the trackpads doesn't affect anything so you can leave them or change them.
    Turn the trackpad you want to pair off by holding the power button 5 seconds.  Go to Preferences > Trackpad > Setup Bluetooth Trackpad button > you should see the other trackpad listed and it "searching". > Tap the power button on the new trackpad once to turn on in discovery mode.

  • Track Pad Issues

    The track pad and curser are in sync at times and not at others. Definitley not as accurate as before. Floats a bit and sometimes seems to have a mind of its own.

    See if this Apple support article is of assitance;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
    At times a very good cleaning of the trackpad can help.  In addition check the battery in your MBP (which is under the trackpad) and see if by chance it has swelled and is thus interfering with the trackpad.
    Ciao.
