Trackpad issues fixed

Reading with great interest the un working track pad issues in boot camp with Windows 7 64 bit. I was lost without the double tap etc. Found a post on google search that said something about a diamond icon in the task bar right side. It is the bootcamp icon. Opened it and went to boot camp control panel and lo and behold there is a track pad settings tab. I did not know it was there and was trying to set preferences in the windows control panel which does not work very well.
I hope this helps the Windows nay sayers and Mac junkies that have to run windows.

Mine has had the exact same issue for 3 weeks now. Moving my left hand around on the palm rest causes the right palm rest (above the hard drive) to buzz intermittently, depending on the pressure and position of my left hand.
I've completely uninstalled and re-installed the HD (including mounting screws) but no luck. Since the buzz appears whenever my left hand applies pressure to the palm rest, I tried re-seating the battery, but no luck either.
The buzz disappears if I press down on the right palm rest. I think it's something with the rigid construction of the unibody and how uneven pressure on the palm rests changes the vibration/sound dampening qualities of the hard drive bay.
Other than this my MBP is perfect. The "Genius Bar" might be of help, but I'm skeptical since the buzz is very faint and intermittent. All the noise in the Apple Store will probably make the impossible to hear what I'm describing to them...
Did anyone have any luck or self-fix solutions for this?

When is 10.6.3 coming and will it fix the trackpad issues????

I have been researching this issue since I purchased my new unibody in Jan 2010. Needless to say, I have not found a permanent solution for any of these trackpad related issues.
Before the unibody I had the MBP aluminum for 2 years and never had a single trackpad issue. These issues are definitely intermittent/sporadic and I cannot seem to narrow the trackpad problems down to one particular application.
Here are the issues I've been encountering and I would certainly like to see Apple respond to our requests ASAP.
-Trackpad clicks don't always register.
-3 & 4 finger gestures stop working at random. **temporary fix offered by majicman here**
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10570452
-trackpad movement/scrolling sporadicly becomes unresponsive. Dead zones on the trackpad.
-cursor jumps (rarity for me, but from what I've read it's common for other users.)
-*when clicking on a file in the finder window, a single click often registers as a double click and instead of highlighting the file, a single click opens the file.* *This is my biggest issue**
Don't know about you guys, but I didn't spend $2600 on a notebook computer to encounter these annoyances...I could have bought (3) PC notebooks for the cost of this MBP Unibody and I expect that Apple will hold up their end of the bargain by making this a superior product!
Please show us some support Apple and fix these bugs!!
Thanks,
Mike

Here's my voodoo fixes:
~Delete contents of ~/Library/Preferences (I've accumulated a lot of junk there)
~Delete contents of ~/Library/Caches and contents of /Library/Caches
~Reinstall 10.6.3 v1.1 Combo Updater
~Repair permissions
~Reset PRAM/SMC
~Put computer to sleep and then wake it up
Don't insert any external USB mice etc in the meantime.
See if it works.

What happened to the huge thread on trackpad issues?

There was a huge thread I has a subscription to with hundreds of replies and thousands of views on the problems especially with Early 2008 MacBook/Pro with erratic cursor movements, hypersensitive scrolling and lack of tap-functionality with the Bootcamp drivers.
I can no longer find the thread nor am I still subscribed. Yet except for a patch that is only for Late 2008 laptops and a hacked version of the patch from a user that never fixed any of the problems on my machine, there has no been no updated driver from Apple.
What's the deal?

What problems with trackpad issues? There are none! Haha... Just Kidding...

(Not a) Trackpad Issue

I don't know what to call this issue and it's a sort of trackpad issue but not really. When I rest my palm on the sides of the computer off of the trackpad (no my thumb and no part of my hand is on the trackpad) I can still select things as if I were using the trackpad or as if I hit ctrl-select. I can even do it one fingered.
The real problem arises when in the middle of typing my hand hits on those areas because it will sometimes select whole pieces of text and then I'll hit a letter or space and it will wipe it all out. I had this problem when I first got it but I assumed it was because I wasn't used to such a wide trackpad. Others have had this problem when using my mac but I've chalked it up to new mac users. However after the problem getting worse recently I realized it's not me.
The trackpad isn't fabulous in general and I can't always get this straightened out. I couldn't get an appointment with the genius bar until Friday and the people at the Apple Store thought I was crazy and kept asking if I had some part of my hand on the trackpad. I happened to experiment when I was in Best Buy and it appears their model does it too but isn't nearly as sensitive as mine is.
I would love to know if others have this and if you've found fixes (don't want to give up my laptop, I need it, for a repair). Also what would I search for for others with similar problems.

P.S. I can't move the arrow around the screen with the areas not on the trackpad I can only select in these area.

IBook G3/ Trackpad Issues/ HDD

Well, I got the OS to work about a few weeks back from reinstalling it, but theres another problem that I'd like to see if it can be fixed.
For a refresher, I purchased this iBook used off eBay and it formerly belonged to a school district in North Carolina. I believe that I am the third owner and the machine is pretty well used (casing kinda scratched up, etc) but the machine functions fine except now I'm starting to get some constant trackpad issues.
The issue is that after the machine has been used for about five minutes or more, the trackpad will start responding incorrectly. It is like my mouse cursor will start floating to the sides of the screens and doesn't wish to stay with my finger patterns. Now, this has been an issue since I bought it however now that I'm looking into putting this machine into actual use I'd like to try and resolve it.
I have a USB Mouse that I will plug in and the mouse works fine. Sometimes when I plug in the USB mouse and unplug it the trackpad acts like normal for a few minutes then goes back to acting abnormally until I restart. There has been periods of times that it seems like the iBook's trackpad will start working again, but as said.. it's very inconsistent.
If possible I'd like to fix this without going into extensive repairs. The trackpad does not appear to be damaged or have any scratches on it, but I cannot verify this machines history as said.
Off topic from the question but the hard drive is also kind of loud in this machine (original 10GB HDD).. when the machine goes to sleep or turns off the hard disk after being idle, its virtually silent. Should I be worried about this?
Thanks again for the assistance!
Jake

It could be that the trackpad isn't securely connected. This isn't so likely since it does work sometimes, but it's worth mentioning.

W510 Fingerprint Logon, Trackpad Issues

My w510 no longer turns on the fingerprint reader on startup. It has worked fine for over a year, and just now stopped working. The light does not come on, and the fingerprint software says "could not connect fingerprint device." I also am not able to enroll a new fingerprint through the fingerprint software, as it cannot find the fingerprint reader. The Windows 7 Control Panel does not recognize any biometric devices and the driver does not show up in Device Manager for the reader. The fingerprint reader is enabled in the BIOS.
The TrackPoint works for navigation, but the Trackpad does not. Whenever I try to use it, it does not recognize work. Hitting Fn + F8, I get an error message that says "both the Trackpad and TrackPoint must be enabled in the BIOS." I have both enabled in the BIOS. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers to no avail.
Any help with getting this issues fixed would be great! Thanks.

Try flashing the BIOS.

Flickering display, aluminum clamshell, trackpad issues

Our display flickers on one side and has multicolored vertical bars running down the left side at best, or the whole screen greys out over the top of the graphical display, is physically no longer fully attached on that side near the hinge (you can press it down quite a bit after it has been closed), and the aluminum clamshell seems like it's warped. The bottom access panel has become no longer a smooth fit - it sticks up a few millimeters at the gap instead of being flat. We used to be able to hold the back left side and the screen would work, now we have been sitting it on a wooden structure with a back support and pushing it against that so we can see the screen for the past year or two. Now the flickering vertical bars are getting worse and the wooden support doesn't always work, and as an added bonus, the trackpad recently stopped working (it no longer 'clicks' and acts like it's constantly pressed down, so we have to use an external mouse with it). It's pretty frustrating because we've babied this thing (it's never been dropped or abused and has only left the house like twice, and one of those times was to take it in to see about this very problem!) and it seems like it's a manufacturing defect, but of course we never had AppleCare and this powerful expensive beast is now a desktop computer with a super hard to see screen. I've been told we need to pay $400 to get a whole new clamshell. Not happy.

You really should take your battery out, it sounds like it is bloated !!!!!!
I have the same computer as your's but never experienced any warping in the hinge area. There are do it yourself ways on replacing your screen which may be more cost effective but time consuming. You have the option of just leaving it always in clamshell mode and getting an external monitor.
But since your computer is just like mine, I would assume that your battery gets bloated just like mine, and if you've never replaced it in the four years it's been around then you most definitely have one. Be very careful with it. Call your local apple store to see if they have a battery recycling plan. Don't just throw it out.
Since you've stated that you mainly use your computer as a desktop device, I might suggest that you just don't use the battery or get a replacement, rather you should just plug it in, sans battery, and literally use it as a desktop.
You'll also find replacing/taking out the battery will fix your trackpad issue.
Sorry to hear that you've been having such bad luck with your machine. I've successfully frankensteined mine to keep me going for a couple more years! *knocks on wood*

Issues fixed in FM 7.1 release

Adobe FrameMaker 7.1 for English, French and German was released on January 10, 2004. The following is a list of issues fixed in this release.
250374
FDK: FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue notification not sent for new elements. If a client subscribes to FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue events, it will get a notification when one changes an attribute by double clicking it in the Structure view. However, on creation of a new element through the element catalog, if an attribute is set, no notification is sent.
This issue has been resolved.
277554
FDK: F_ApiUnStraddleCells() does not work as expected.
When unstraddling cells through the API, all the cells except the leading cell have no paragraph end marks (they are completely empty). Clicking into such cells takes the text cursor to the location of the table anchor. Inserting a character into the paragraph with the table anchor seems to correct the table.
This issue has been resolved.
310049
FDK: F_ApiImport shows a dialog upon import of SGML entities.
When importing an SGML fragment by reference using F_ApiImport, FrameMaker displays a dialog asking whether the text inset should be updated automatic or manually. This setting should be controlled from import-parameters.
Currently there is no way of creating a client that imports a large number of SGML text-insets without having a user sitting by the keyboard and clicking OK for each imported entity.
This issue has been resolved.
314764
FDK: F_ApiDelete does not work properly on elements inside a TextInset. When you try to delete an element that is part of a TextInset, the whole TextInset is removed.
The work around for this is to unlock the text before calling F_ApiDelete and to lock the text after this call. The calls to unlock and lock the text are given below:
To unlock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, False);
To lock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, True);

(don't include) Marker element gets included and merged in PDF bookmarks with previous heading. In FrameMaker 6.0, the document prints to PDF as expected--the bookmarks in Acrobat PDF contain the Section2/Heading as expected, such as:
Spark Plug Threads
and Lamp Base and Electrical Fixture Threads
In FrameMaker 7.0, the document prints to PDF with the Section2/Heading merged with the Run.head marker element, even though Run.head is in the ''Don't include'' list of elements in the PDF Setup dialog box.
This issue has been resolved.

PDF generation on UNIX translates CMYK colors to RGB.
This issue has been resolved.
567784
FP_InsetFile has a value of "BadFileName" when SGML importing misses a graphic data file. If you import an SGML file that would read external graphic files and these data files are missing, then skipping or ignoring them results in "BadFileName" pathname for each object property. This makes FDK API Client not get FP_InsetFile property value for the FO_Inset object.
This issue has been resolved.

FrameMaker works very slowly or returns an internal error. When processing a document that includes many EPS image files, FrameMaker creates many FRMxxxx.tmp files in the C:\Documents and Settings\Account Name\Local Settings\temp\ folder. The xxxx is a hexadecimal number. Even after quitting FrameMaker, the FRMxxxx.tmp files are NOT deleted, and the same document creates different FRMxxxx.tmp files after being opened again. The template files pile up in the hard disk for the Account/user, until the xxxx reaches ffff, the maximum number for the 4 digits of a hexadecimal number. At or near this time, FrameMaker works very slowly or stops with internal error:7004,6643018,6765315,6712018.

Internal Error: 7004, 6055410, 7657059, 0 when saving/printing to PDF includes Bookmarks that include index elements. The crash occurs only on Windows. The problem occurs when you attempt File > Print to PDF, when you want to Generate PDF Bookmarks based on structure elements, and have the ''Sectlevel1'' element in the ''Include Elements'' pane, and that particular ''Sectlevel1'' element plus the length of the text in the index marker entries exceeds 256 characters.

Scrolling a document in FrameMaker using Page Up/Down button goes to previous/next page respectively. Scrolling a document using Page Up and Page Down button goes to the previous and next page respectively. User would expect to scroll to the previous/next screen instead of going to previous/next page using these buttons, as seen in other Windows applications like MS Word, etc.
This issue has been resolved.

Links being dropped in SVG filter. Import an SVG file by reference (and the imported file has a link to another SVG file). Save this and reopen; the referenced SVG file is missing.
This issue has been resolved.
603668
The text in the markers gets included in the PDF Bookmarks. Do not include textual content of marker elements, such as Index markers. This is because if you do, the Acrobat bookmarks can appear created if the element has:
where Indexterm contains the marker text:
<$startrange>PDF Creation;<$endrange>PDF:Good;How To:Create Good PDF
... You will end up with an Acrobat Bookmark containing:
How To Create <$startrange>PDF Creation;<$endrange>PDF:Good;How To:Create Good PDFGood PDF ... which is not desirable.

footnote element mapping to Frame Footnote is commented in Rules defined for XDocBook. In application definition of XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app, footnote element mapping is to FM Footnote element. However, this rule is commented since past few releases. As a result, any (xdocbook) XML document with footnote is shown as invalid in FrameMaker.
This issue has been resolved.
624472
Revision remark (revremark) element is mapped to different element names in EDD and rules. Rules for XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app translate revremark to RevRemark. However, EDD (ECM) defines Revremark as mapping for revremark element. Hence a valid xdocbook XML document with revremark is shown as invalid (with unknown RevRemark element) in FrameMaker.

Similaryly read for SP06 fixes at - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm71/helpdata/en/be/e0048b426b4c20957078b61ec71e46/content.htm
These links gives you an idea of what all changes are going to come into your new system. So unless you upgrade to SP07 i.e. the latest version and test it in DEV/Sandbox environment you should not plan to move ahead in Production. This is always recommended but there is very less chance that the already working solution will not work as expected after the upgrade.

Top 15 Issues/Fixes Needed in the next Premiere Pro release/update (CS6.5 or CS7)

I’m excited for what’s coming next in Premiere Pro CS6.5 or CS7 (whichever update is next). As a former FCP7 user myself, Premiere CS6 was a quick and necessary switch (especially after changing the main keyboard shortcuts back to what I was used to). I’ve since gone back to FCP7 on occasion for certain things and I can tell you that I’m so glad I’ve switched. For all the headaches and serious errors that I still get daily/weekly with Premiere Pro CS6, it’s still definitely a big step up. I'm encouraged by staff members like Mitch W. that have expressed confidence that many of these issues will be resolved in the next release. Here is my personal list of “Top 15 issues/fixes” needed in the current Premiere Pro CS6…
(Adobe STAFF...feel free to print this out and hand it to the engineers responsible for making changes )
1) The infamous multicam FLAW. Needing no introduction…when you are editing your video in the multicam window and you hit pause or stop Premiere has decided that’s a great time to make a cut on your timeline and also switch angles back to the original angle whether you like it or not. You cannot stop ever while editing multicam without Premiere making these unwanted cuts and angle changes. Awful. Multicam in PPro is otherwise pretty nice, but this issue is terribly counter-productive especially when you are editing longer complex multicam sequences. Imagine if every time you hit pause or stop in the regular timeline it made a cut there and switched clips. Ugh. You get my point.
2) The audio meters/levels do not work while in the multicam window. A staff member in the forums (I think it was you) said this was a bug. Hope it will get fixed. The audio levels work in every other window and its essential to be able to keep an eye on the levels while editing multicam.
3) Ticktime.cpp-207 error. Ugh. What a nightmare. I have confidence that it will be fixed soon. Mitch W. from the forums is my new hero for taking on this error. How to replicate it?…simply have 6 (or 7) or more clips with the warp stabilizer effect added on the same timeline as a nested multicam clip and you get this error upon reopening your project. The more warp stabilizers you use, the more times you’ll have to hit “continue” to get through the error before you can open your project or export it to AME. I deal with this every single day because all my projects use these two elements. Most of my projects I have to hit “continue” on the error message upwards of 350-450 times to open my projects. Gets old fast.
4) Icon View order control. When you display all your clips in icon view instead of a list view (In the project window), there is no metadata to allow you to put the clips in order somehow (or at least maintain the order that you have in the list). There are roundabout workarounds, but c’mon.
5) Warp Stabilizer fixes…it is an AMAZING tool (far, far, far better than smoothcam in FCP7) BUT…it has it’s issues. Since I use hundreds of times/week (no exaggeration) I know it’s functions/flaws really well. The issues with Warp Stabilizer:
a) #3 above
b) Toggle OFF the effect after it’s applied and then hit Analyze again and PPro crashes. (easy to avoid but annoying bug)
c) If a clip is in the middle of stabilizing (not just analyzing…but the final step labeled “analyzing”) when Auto-save comes up…most of the time PPro freezes and crashes.
d) The DEFAULT “method” (in the settings for Warp Stabilizer) should NOT be “Subspace Warp”…it should be “Position, Scale, Rotation”. Why? It’s FAAAAARRRR better and more efficient. 95 out of 100 times it causes MUCH less “wobble” in the final stabilized clips AND most importantly 95 out of 100 times it scales the video less. Way better method.
6) The ability to open multiple projects simultaneously. As simple as FCP7 had it…or even better…as cool and efficient as FCPX does it would be nice.
7) The ability to mark a clip and not just a point on a timeline (because if you move the clip, the marker doesn’t go with it). I know you can use “Clip Marker” but it's very limiting, can't be moved, can't add notes, can't advance to the next marker (as far as I know). Also a marker list like FCPX has would be nice so you can see your markers all in a list at a glance and adjust them as needed.
8) Ability to select a clip in the Project window and find out where it’s used in the timeline. I LOVE how you can do the reverse and take a clip in the timeline and “Reveal in Project Window” but it would really help to go the other way around. Dealing with several hundred clips for every project I’ve missed this feature from time to time (FCPX handles this really well).
9) Add a through-edit indicator in timeline and “re-join clips” option. If you cut a clip but keep both clips together it’s just one continuous clip. But I really hope Premiere adds the not only an indicator of some sort (like FCP7′s way of having two small red triangles facing each other on that cut) so you know it’s one continuous clip BUT ALSO the ability to right-click and “re-join” the two clips into one.
10) When clip is double-clicked in timeline, CTI position in source viewer should match location in timeline. This one is pretty annoying and a fix would be incredibly helpful. The way it is now is very counter-productive. Definitely hope this gets fixed ASAP.
11) Better border controls for images/videos. Can’t do much with images right now in PPro. At least allow to customize the color and size/strength of it’s borders and shadows.
12) Better support for Mac/Apple's top end computers/GPU's. I'm still surprised that 2011 top of the line iMac cards (AMD 6970M) that have 2gb of ram are not supported. I’m sure/I hope 2012 iMac’s will be supported with their new Nvidia GPU’s…but I’ll hold out hope that the top iMac (up until 3 months ago) is supported at least at it’s full power. All around better Mac support would be great considering the wave of new users coming over from FCP.
13) Opacity/Transparency issues with EXPORTED videos with Cross Dissolves, etc. For some odd reason videos exported from Premiere CS6 have issues with cross dissolves or minor transparency. I’ll try to explain…in the program window of PPro CS6 cross dissolves look fine. Also, if you take a clip and stack it on top of another clip and put the top clip at say 99% opacity instead of 100 it looks like it should in PPro. But, if you export the clips you’ll quickly see that there are issues. It’s almost like the exported videos dissolve from 5 to 95. They skip the subtle beginning (0-5%) and subtle end (95-100%) of any fade. A clip in PPro as described above that is on top of another but set at 99% will look more like 90-95% in the exported file ESPECIALLY if the two clips are contrasting (eg. top layer dark, bottom layer with bright elements). It’s like the opposit of ease-in/ease-out. I have to ease-in/ease-out of every dissolve to avoid this issue…and even then, it’s not THAT much of an “ease” as one would hope. Another user in a forum once posted a video that shows how abruptly exported videos end their transparency changes…see: THIS SAMPLE VIDEO Perhaps this is a GPU/processing issue with AME vs. Premiere Pro but whatever it is, it should be fixed so videos you export look like the videos you edited!
14) Better control in Creative Cloud over which devices are “activated/deactivated” We have 3 computers and it would be nice if one could log in to their Creative Cloud account and see a list of which devices they have and just toggle on/off which one’s are activated/deactivated. This is especially helpful when you are mobile and forget to deactivate one of your two home/office devices so you’re stuck now until you get back to the home/office to deactivate it. This is not a Premiere thing, but just a general wish.
15) Ability to sync multicam clips automatically using the audio. Plural eyes apparently does this well. Would be nice to have it built into Premiere like FCPX does. Select all the shots you want to sync, One button click, wait a few seconds, done.
That’s my top 15. Everything else is awesome in my opinion for what I do 10 hours a day 6-7 days a week. I’ve included bug reports/feature requests for all of these at one point but if you are someone else reading this go to the following link and ask for these issues to be fixed: FEATURE REQUEST/BUG REPORT
I wish Adobe did smaller updates more often. Because even if they were smaller updates, we’d at least know you are working on fixing some of these issues that have plagued this NLE for years. Holding off fixes for one or two big “updates” every year is tough to deal with in a world of the ever updating apps we live and play with daily on our phones. I realize Premiere is a much larger scale and far more professional than a phone app, but hopefully you get my point. Here’s to hoping the next release (NAB 2013?) resolves all my top 15 issues. Here’s to hoping that these issues will be resolved sooner than later so I can stop raising hell in various forums. I’m honestly ready to start praising and defending Premiere Pro instead of griping about it’s bugs and flaws. It’s a fantastic program “on the way” to being the best. I hope.

Nice list, however it does seem a little bit like you may be hoping that Adobe provides the Final Cut 8 package that Apple never delivered on. Having edited primarily with P-Pro for the last decade, I hope Adobe focuses more on getting the next release to run as smooth as CS5x does, strangling and crucifying all the codec and playback bugs that arose in CS6. To me, it appeared that too many of the changes in CS6 were semantic or cosmetic, meant to give a FCP user more familiarity. Why change the name of an edit function from "overlay" to "overwrite" after 15 years? Because it enhances the product, or because that is what Apple called the function in FCP? If Adobe renames the Program Monitor to the "Canvas" with the next release, I think that I might be sick. There were nice additions to the Creative Suite as a whole, but I hope the next Premiere release reverses some missteps made in CS6, and focuses more on stability and enhanced functionality. I also really hope that they have an open ear towards criticism; Apple did not and their users ended up with FCP-X
It saddens me that the fixes I want most in a future release were purposeful changes between CS5x and CS6x.
1) Provide the options for transport controls in the source and program monitors. All of the users at my office hate that the jog and shuttle were removed in CS6. JKL was an option prior to CS6 and if we liked it we would have used it. I keep reading the justification that this change was meant to save space and streamline the UI. I can't express cordially how much this bothers me to look at the empty wasted space in my CS6 UI where the transport controls should be. The experiment has gone on long enough.
2) Restore the 3 Way Color Corrector to its previous functionality. The 3 way color corrector has been effectively neutered in CS6. Where in CS5x and earlier releases one could separately target the input/output levels of Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows, CS6 has only a master input/output level control. Why is less control better? Is it a 3-Way Color Corrector or a 1-Way Color Corrector?
3) Restore Clip and Timeline markers to their previous functionality. I don't even.... I can't. A user shouldn't have to do work arounds to create a modicum of functionality. This again was an attribute that wasn't broken in earlier releases.
4) Simplify the the task of pasting media into a targeted track. As it is now, pasted items will always go to the lowest activated track instead of the targeted track.
Lastly I would like the Adobe Premiere teams to consider what an amazing accomplishment Premiere CS5x was. Upon CS5's release, a good portion of competitor's workflows became obsolete. CS5.5 refined, stabilized, and expanded functionality.
CS6 changed the UI around, moving or deleting buttons, changed keyboard shortcuts, and renamed functions. Oh, and added hoverscrub, you know...like FCPX. In exchanged there was loss of functionality, stability issues and broken codecs.
I really hope the next release is more like CS5x and less like FCPX

Anyone have list of issues fixed in 8.01? thanx...

Hi all (happy holidays)
Anyone have list of issues fixed in 8.01?
thanx...
ps: I'm on a G5 and was hoping that 8.01 runs noticeably better now....

I'm one of the people that traditionally doesn't experience too many issues with Logic that affect me. However, 8.0.0 and 8.0.1 have many issues that directly affect me, including many MCU handling bugs, screenset handling bugs and quite a few others besides.
Maybe, like with Logic 7, we'll get to a paid update for 8.1 that finally becomes workable... until then, well, hang on to the sides, it may well get bumpy..!

Trackpad issues on Macbook Pro 15"

Hi! I'm experiencing trackpad issues with a Macbook Pro 15" Model A1286. The battery had recently swollen after a long and productive life of about 5 years. Assuming this was a fair life/usage for a battery I have ordered a replacement from Apple.
While waiting for the replacement battery and following advice from other users, I removed the battery and have the power lead connected to prevent damage from the swollen battery. However, the trackpad now only appears to work the cursor movements around the screen and does not register clicks without the battery in place - it's as if it's got nothing to push against. I'm guessing that the swollen battery may have caused damage to the trackpad, but won't know until the new battery arrives.
Do I just need to be patient and wait for it's arrival or are there any suggestions of how to rectify this please?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Be paticent.
You can try a SMC reset:

Trackpad issues on Macbook Pro, new June 2009

I have been unable to resolve a trackpad issue that began this afternoon on my Macbook Pro. The computer was new in June. I was playing an online computer game, and it seemed that drag was locked on even though I hadn't changed any settings. Movements of the mouse dragged the window. The drag would not release with 1 click, 2 finger click etc. When I tried typing, the letters selected and replaced as soon as I typed new ones. After several restarts with the same behavior occurring, I reloaded the Snow Leopard 10.6 OS. I originally installed it about 2 weeks ago, and it has been working fine until now. After the reinstallation, the trackpad will not register most clicks of the trackpad. It will register taps, but it refuses to let the user click and drag. I have Microsoft Vista installed in Boot Camp and the trackpad is operating with the same glitches on boot camp. Clicks of the trackpad do not register most of the time. If they do, I have to click very hard, and even then it doesn't always work.

Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

Hi there,
Hope you can help me out here.
I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
Appreciate your help here.

I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
I can't thank them enough.
My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.
