Sounds like you may have an issue with a stuck key on your keyboard, or maybe you're inadvertently performing a multitouch gesture.
First thing I'd try, is going to the trackpad settings and turning off multitouch gestures, even if just temporarily. Do things work as expected with that disabled? If yes, look through the different gestures and try to figure out which one you must be triggering. If not, I'd take it back to wherever you had it repaired, and get them to take a look at it. It sounds a bit like the keyboard is sending a constant signal from the "Option" key.

HT203171 Macbook pro trackpad not responsive, opening apps on it's own, moving screens on its own, help!

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.

MacBook Pro Trackpad: Clicking problems

I have a MacBook Pro, (15 inch, Late 2008) and have always had fairly significant issues with the trackpad. It only registers clicks about half of the time. I have experimented with all the trackpad settings and "tap to click" also fails to register consistently. I usually have to press very hard, after the trackpad depresses for the click to register in the OS. I've continually experienced this problem in Leopard, Snow Leopard, and now Lion.
I've read that a lot of other people have had similiar issues with their trackpads over the last 3 years, but I've never heard about any fix or remedy. My trackpad does depress just fine, so I don't think that the trackpad screw would need to be adjusted at all. An external mouse registers clicks 100% of the time, so it isn't a software issue. I've heard that some people's ribbon that connects the trackpad could be loose, but I'm nervous to open it up and mess around with it.
I click with the side of my thumb--as most other people do. However clicking with my index finger also fails to register clicks, so I don't think it is a "accidental input" issue or a multitouch issue.
My girlfriend has the exact same model of Macbook Pro. Same year, same season, exact same specs. Her trackpad works perfectly.
I brought the computer to a Genius Bar, and the "Genius" said that it was just fine and somehow magically got it to register his clicks. I think maybe he had a sercret Magic Mouse under the table. I left bewildered and defeated.
Maybe I should just navigate via keyboard...

Don't worry about what the 'Genius' had to say most are just Apple grunts, slugging it out in the trenches.
If you are out of warranty / AppleCare then I would suggest finding an authorized independent Apple repair company. Go there, get a ridiculous quote (most likely) then ask around and find a local computer repair shop. Any place with "Apple Authorized" is basically like dealing with Apple.
You could also ask another 'Genius' or a 'Super Genius' (ie Manager.)
I promise you are not alone.
I have killed keyboards and trackpads with the following:
- A glass of Merlot.
- A glass of water
- Another glass of water
- A dog, knocking the laptop off the couch and to the floor.
I could continue, but seriously. Don't get up. The other option is to get a bluetooth mouse. Personally I love mine.

After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

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

Macbook Pro sound not working in windows XP

I have a macbook pro and recently installed bootcamp/windows xp. Everything works fine in both windows xp and mac os x, except that I have no sound in windows xp. I get the sound on startup that normally plays, and audio plays fine in OS X, but when i run windows, it doesn't detect any audio device (i tried using both headphones as well as the onboard speakers that come with the computer).
Any suggestions?

Reli,
Did you install the drivers from the drivers disc you (hopefully) created during the Bootcamp install? These contain the drivers for sound & graphics etc...
I realise you get the startup sounds already, but do you mean the sounds in Windows? Anyway, Windows can be a bit funny about drivers.
Another thing to check, when in Windows, right click on your My Computer icon, go to properties, then in the new window in one of the tabs - believe it's third one from the left on the bottom row - there should be a device manager button (Sorry, I Don't currently have access to a Windows machine so can't tell you the exact tab name). Open up the device manager. Expand the audio and video devices section (or something like that) and see if the appropriate sound card is listed there - this will indicate if the drivers are installed or not.
HTH.

Should my macbook pro touchpad click on top?

Should my macbook pro touchpad click on the top left and right sides? It only clicks at the bottom.

System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click
If "Tap to Click" is enabled, click should register by tapping on any part of the Trackpad.

What if I do not want to use IMAP or Exchange? I do not like being forced to use technology I do not trust.
No, it is not a bug. It is working as designed. And there is noting in the manual that staes you can create folders for a POP account.
You do know that any email sent through a POP account stays on the provider's server (often for years) even if you delete it from your inboxes, right? Completely beyond your control. Refusing to use an IMAP service doesn't protect you from anything.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.

Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

Hello Bulko,
It may be that there is an issue with your hard drive. Running Disk Utility's Verify Disk (and Repair Disk as necessary) can help resolve many such issues.

My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using.

My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using. I use a cheap Logitech Stereo Headset H130, but since there is only on audio plugin on the computer, I purchased a 3.5 mm 4-pin smartphone audio adapter thingy. That allowed me to put both my the sound coming to my headset & the microphone on my headset onto one wire. Everything worked wonderfully when running the Mac OS since they probably have support for that kind of stuff. The problem is though that once I try to use the same method in Windows 7, the OS doesn't recognize my headset microphone at all, but, instead when recording my voice decides to use the built-in mac microphone. Using this adapter still allows me to hear from my headset, but not use the microphone and that becomes a problem. It might be so that Windows 7 doesn't have support\drivers for that... How should I continue from here on out? Any advice?

From what I have read from others on here you may be out of luck. You would need the appropriate Windows drivers for the Cirrus chip in the Mac and no one has been able to successfully locate them. Apple wouldn't support this since Windows is an optional install.
Sorry to bring the bad news.
