Issues with Trackpad - Physical click - Macbook pro 13"

Hi everyone!
I have a problem with my trackpad, my macbook pro its about one year old and i rarely use a physical click, few months ago i had to use bootcamp with windows xp and i use the physical click there, i use it about a month only.
Now i have to press harder to use it (in MacOS snow leopard) because if i click like always nothing happen i hear the click but no actions on my display, the soft click functions work properly but im worried about the physical click.
Sorry for my terrible English and thank you in advance.
Regards!

Hi!
Well for me theres 2 types of click,
1. one when u click and sounds (this one is pressing harder the trackpad)
2. another is softer when just need to put ur finger over the trackpad.
i use more the second one, thats why i say i rarely use the first one.
Thanks for answering
Regards

  • Having start-up issues with my 1st gen Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone. I just started having start-up issues with my first generation Macbook Pro. It was working fine the other day when I last used it, but today I went to use it and it wont load up to my desktop...? It starts up (grey screen with the little swirly bar under the apple,) then it goes to a blue screen, then my background and dock appear, then (before any of my desktop files even show up,) it goes to a blue screen (that brightens up and then dims a little,) and it just keeps showing this with a little swirly progress symbol (shows when the screen is darker blue, then disappears when the screen is a brighter blue.) I've included a video that I took with my iPhone to show it situation. Any ideas as to what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

    Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key.  Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
    As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory.  A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash.  Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated.  This should take care of the issue.

  • Photoshop text issue with OSX Mavericks on Macbook Pro

    I have a frustrating problem with Photoshop on my Macbook Pro. I can enter text without any problem, but the minute I try to edit it, resize, change font or colour it totallt dissappears and the layer name revers to 'layer x" (whatever number it is). This problem has appeared since the upgrade to OSX Mavericks, but only on my Macbook Pro...it does not happen on my 27" iMac which is running the same OS.
    I have totally uninstalled all my CC Apps on the Mackbook Pro, reinstalled Photoshop CC, same problem.
    I uninstalled CC again, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6, same problem.
    this is despite having run the software without problem previously.
    The Macbook Pro is a early 2010 model, has only 256 graphics...so cant run the 3D option of CC,but it has 8gig ram...the only difference between the Macbook Pro and iMac in terms of spec is the different graphics card size. (iMac is late 2012 newer version)
    The problem is I am a teacher and the Mackbook is my teaching laptop...and I teach digital photography...so I have to have Photoshop up and running.
    Any sugguestons...other than a total clean reinstall of the entire computer which would be a total pain and extremely time consuming.

    Turned off the dictation feature and it seems to work with CS6 which I had installed....I'll try puting CC back on and see what happens.

  • Calibration issues with 23" display and Macbook Pro 13".

    Hi All,
    I'm a photographer and link my Macbook Pro to a 23" display in order to edit my work.
    I have calibrated both displays with a gretagmacbeth eye-one display 2, however, despite this, when I move images between screens they change considerably, most noticeably the values of reds. I appreciate the laptop display is never going to be as bright as the stand alone, but am I asking too much for the colours to be the same?
    I look forward to receiving any suggestions from those who've had similar experience, or those who are experts in the this field.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Trackpad stopped clicking - MacBook Pro 2010

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with my Macbook Pro... I was working on some designs last night when all of a sudden the trackpad stopped clicking/responding. Even the movement is random and unresponsive. 
    I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem and whether there is a solution...  I have a USB keyboard and a magic mouse... but that kinda takes away the point of having a portable machine.
    Thanks for any help

    It does say that my battery needs servicing... Was going to buy one as I have updated the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
    Wasnt sure if the Genius Bar would help me having upgrading the RAM...
    There was a note that the battery may have swelled and pressed underneath the trackpad.
    I have left the laptop off over night (to let the battery cool down) and still the trackpad wouldnt click...

  • Wireless Issues with windows 7 on Macbook Pro 2008

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion OS X and installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp Assistant. Can anyone help me with my wireless connection issues? I cannot seem to connect to the internet within Windows but surely within Mac OS.

    You likely did not do the first menu item when you started Bootcamp Assistant. This menu item is to download the Windows Support Software. You then install this Support software from within Windows.

  • Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

    I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers.  For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime.  They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer.  I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong?  They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
    Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats.  Only video.
    Message was edited by: gmob25

    hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format.  The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
    I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's.  I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software?  That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
    By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked!  I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
    And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

  • Delay issue with mighty mouse and macbook pro. help?

    Connected but delayed in movement. I am connected to an HD tv via HDMI and only a delay issue on the tv monitor. The mouse responds as normal on the laptop screen if I have it open, but on the TV it is delayed. Any clue as to what might be wrong? I am running HDMI to a converter for the mini display port and have seen it work many times with no delay. I have changed the batteries and reconnected/restarted the computer and the mouse numerous times. 

    Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
    I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::

  • External Keyboard with Trackpad / Touchpad for Macbook Pro

  • Issues with graphic card on Macbook Pro 2011

    I just having problem with starting my Macboook. First, at start screen (gray background with the apple logo) appears pink/red horizontal lines over all the screen. Then, when i'm using my computer, screen goes black for no reason and i need to force restart to turn on the Mac.
    I can see that many people is having the same problem. ¿Someone knows what's going on? I can't believe this is happening to a "HIGH QUALITY" expensive computer. This seems happening to 2011 Macbook Pros...
    Joaquín.

    I had a similar problem on my iMac some years ago, and it was due to a graphic card failure, so I think it is the same problem for you. As it is a hardware problem, the only option is to take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it fixed: you will get it fixed for free if your Mac is in warranty or if there is a replacement program.

  • Glitch with FaceTime contacts on Macbook pro

    I'm having an issue with FaceTime on my Macbook pro.  When I type some contacts names in the FaceTime search bar, and select a FaceTime call, it will call a different contact.  Then after the call fails to the wrong contact it shows yet a 3rd different contact in the recently called list.  So for example if I try and call my son it will dial someone else and then show I called yet someone else in the history.  2009 Macbook pro Yosemite OS X 10.10.2

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Issue with desktop Opt/Click (right click) & 'Change Desktop Background'

    I have an issue with the opt/click in the desktop in ML 10.8.2. The 'Change Desktop Background' using opt/click (right click) works after reboot, but fails to open (work correctly) thereafter. The 'System Preferences' icon bounces in the dock but nothing else happens, I have either click on the SP icon or re-opt/click (R click) again to get it working. All else seems to be in order but not this. I have tried this with 2 complete full installs & still doesn't work correctly (same issue. I have reported it to Apple, but I was wondering if anyone else experiencing this problem?

    So, here's what I've learned so far.
    Fresh reboot.  Works fine.  Close and try again, doesn't work.  This you already know.
    Here's what I tried to see if it makes a difference:
    I removed:
    ~/Library/Caches
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.*, com.apple.systempreferences.* and com.apple.desktop.*
    That didn't help.
    I tried it in safe mode.  Same issue.
    Here's something interesting I noticed.  If you open terminal and killall Finder, that refreshes it and makes it work again... for 1 try.
    This does, in fact, seem like a bug.
    For reference, I'm currently on a mid 2012 macbook pro.  Running fully updated on mt lion.

  • Trackpad update on macbook pro  jsshe

    The new update for the trackpad on my macbook pro has given me some problems. For example, I seem to be constantly be highlighting words and documents at some points.
    Anyone have the same problem/issues?

    Which trackpad update? I found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL724 but I am hesitant to use it since my model is a mid 2009 version and I'm running 10.6.4 and the system requirements for that are listed as:
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X 10.5.5
    MacBook (Late 2008)
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008)
    Can you post the link to the update that worked for you? Are you also running on 10.6.4?
    Seems a bunch of us are having this same problem, with the trackpad going haywire randomly. So far the only way I've been able to temporarily fix it is to reboot, which isn't always easy when the trackpad is selecting everything. It's getting rather frustrating when I've got several programs open in the middle of a project!
    Apple, please help!

  • Hi, I have problem with starting up my macbook pro, the gray screen coming and the circle still turning

    hi
    Could u please help me with the problem that I have with starting up my macbook pro?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
