New Macbook Pro mouse pad

I tried the new Macbook Pro today in an Apple store. Very nice except clicking a window and dragging a bit difficult because it's an all in one mouse pad. Seems a bit difficult to me. Anyone else have this problem?

I have always preferred to click with my thumb and then drag with my finger, but doing both with my finger is a bit difficult. Luckily I can still use my thumb on the new trackpads just as I've done with my previous computers and everything works fine. I end up clicking down at the bottom, and it's much easier than on other areas of the trackpad.

New MacBook Pro Mouse Button

As soon as i got used to the new mouse button on my MacBook Pro, it stopped working on the right side. This makes things such as the right click and clicking and dragging anything on the right side unusable. My question is: is this a common occurrence with these new buttons, and will it be able to be fixed without sending in my laptop?
Thanks in advance

In System Preferences > Trackpad, is Secondary Click turned on and mapped to the lower right corner of the trackpad? If so, turn it off or map it to the lower left corner.

MacBook Pro Mouse pad issue

When I bought my mac book pro I bought apple care along with it. The guy on the phone told me that apple care will cover some physical damages as well thats why I paid for it. Now unfortunately, my touchpad is cracked( I am not sure why). When I went to apple store in Mission Viejo, CA, the technical assistant was rude with me and said he can not help. I bought apple product not because of the technology but for the customer care but I have to mention I had a worst experience of my life. I don't want to pay for my touchpad because I have apple care which is useless. I am not sure what to do now.

Typically, most anything that's "cracked" - whether it's a cracked screen or keyboard - is thought to be the result of abuse. A touchpad rarely moves much, and they're hard to "crack" (unless something was dropped onto them). I'm not saying that your issue didn't happen just as you say, only that your main challenge is to prove it.
A mouse pad/track pad is typically touched or tapped, so this makes cracks harder to prove.
Applecare doesn't cover user caused damage; that's where your property's liability insurance comes in. Saying that you don't know how it happened isn't good enough; the Apple rep won't believe you until you show how the crack could have happened.
There have been incidents like this. Search the web ("mac mouse pad crack") and assemble your evidence. Then, based on this, go back to the Apple Store with your case.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the stuck mouse pad. I used a q-tip with alcohol to clean the corners (depress the pad and swab while depressed).

Shut the computer down and clean the trackpad with a dry microfiber cloth.

MacBook Pro Mouse Pad

Hi,
I Recently started using Apple and was wondering if there is a way to "TAP" the Touch Pad to open files like on a PC. I have looked in the System Preferences but no such option exists. Please tell me how can I do this. Thanks.

The preferences offer nearly 15 options for the trackpad (under the button marked "trackpad") and you can test single and even double clicking there. I have not touched them from the default settings and double clicking on a file works now. Try working on your double clicking speed or lower the speed required.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.
Simon

I have a new MacBook Pro. I changed settings so I can just TAP on the computer, but on iPhoto I must press hard to drag mouse around. Anyway to change iPhoto to TAP?

New Macbook Pro does not see bluetooth mouse

I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to use the bluetooth mouse from my desktop Mac. However, the Macbook does not seem to see this device when I try to connect. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Do you still have the instructions for your mouse? Most have a button somewhere that puts it in a discoverable state.

External keyboard, optical mouse with new MacBook Pro?

I have just ordered a new MacBook Pro and am wondering if I can connect the keyboard and Logitech mouse from my old eMac? Or do I need to order a newer keyboad.
Extended typing sessions on a laptop are not my favorite thing.
Thanks.

Sure, why not.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I managed to transfer everything to the new laptop. BUT I'm having some real problems--e.g., wg from my older one to the new one. Both use the same latest version of Snow Leopard. My new laptop has the newer track pad.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I managed to transfer everything from my older MacBook Pro to the new one. Both use Snow Leopard, the latest update.
My new one has the newest trackpad, the old one, no.
I'm have big problems using Text Edit on the new laptop--the curser does not go where I want it to go for editing, I cannot get the text to be a clear or as large
as with the older Laptop. Similarly, I cannot find a way to enlarge the menu bar. But the text edit is my biggest problem right now. I have reviewed all the preferences, particularly those in Universal Access, to no avail.
I finally gave up, used dropbox to send the text edit document to my old laptop, and continued with ease. But this is not the way it should work. I bought the
new laptop because the old one is showing signs of age.....
Is there something wrong with Text Edit while using the new trackpad?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

New MacBook Pro, unable to get past the select your country screen during initial setup.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro last night and am unable to get past the initial setup screen where you select your country. The mouse will move around, but won't actually allow me to click on 'continue'. I've also tried the keyboard commands to move to the next screen. Nothing...

I just experienced this, and I am recording the solution here for posterity. I got through the setup using the keyboard (tab to move between controls and space to select), thinking that the mouse click would work when I got through it. But I was dismayed to find that it did not ...
... at least so I thought! But actually, you have to push down the mouse pad, NOT just tap it. You can turn on tap-to-click later, but at the start you must push it until it audibly clicks. It is not obvious if you are used to Windows laptop mouse pads like me, where tap-to-click is the ubiquitous norm.
