Trackpad surface not flat (SR MBP 2.4)

The trackpad surface of my SR MBP 2.4 is not totally flat. It is most noticeably around the four corner regions and the rims. Either looking at it by eye or touch it by finger, I can tell that the surface is not completely flat which a trackpad is suppose to be (at least to my three previous ThinkPad and one Toshiba).
I always connect the MBP with external keyboard and BT mouse, so I almost never use the built-in keyboard and trackpad except for the very first start-up.
Could it be the heat dissipated from the machine cause the trackpad to curve? Any of you see that from your MBP? I want to know if it is a common manufacturing problem for aluminum trackpad.

No, there is no any other unevenness, crack or deformation on my MBP. When the display is closed, the gap is not perfect but it looks like any other MBP/PB.
Sometimes, I am very hesitate to call Applecare. I think the best scenario is they asked me to send in and get the parts replaced. But I certainly don't want my baby came back with scratches like ****. I heard too many stories like that. sigh. I was so happy when I first have my very-first MBP in hand and it was totally perfect. I thought I was a happy switcher. May be it was my luck but I never have a single issue with my previous 4 laptops.

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

  • My trackpad is not working properly. It doesn't respond very well and only a very small area of it actually works. What can I do?

    Hi! Can anyone help?
    This is driving me insane.
    I have a MacBook, which still works pretty well apart from the fact that over the last few weeks the trackpad started not responding very well.
    I have to hit very hard and it only works on the bottom right corner.
    It responds to me moving my fingers over it, the problem only happens when clicking on something.
    I would really appreciate any tips from any of you clever people out there.
    Thanks

    Does your MacBook have a removable battery?
    If so, try removing the battery and running just on the power adapter. Don't do anything too important as the computer will power off if the power adapter comes loose! Just do this for a few minutes to see if your trackpad works any better.
    If your battery isn't removable, run your hand over the bottom of the computer - or run a level over it if you have one - to see if it's flat.
    In either case, it's possible your battery has swollen and is applying pressure on the connection for the trackpad, which in turn means the trackpad won't work as expected.

  • Trackpad issues - not clicking properly

    right side will click including click sound but left side will only slightly depress with no sound. What should I do, this problem has only just occured in the last day.
    Thanks

    Enable Tap to click.
    System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click
    Check mark the box for "Tap to click".
    If the trackpad does not work properly you have to take the MBP to the Apple store
    to have it checked. Battery needs to be checked too.
    Best.

  • After pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad does not work

    after pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad a) does not control cursor and b) does not persist after closing Bluetooth devides dialog.
    Summary of Problem:
    Magic Trackpad is found and paired, but does not control the mouse.
    When you shut the Bluetooth devices and reopen (or reboot and reopen), the device is not listed.
    Detials of problem:
    Bootcamp 3.1 (i cannot find a later one) Windows XP all updates, All Apple Software Updates (to bootcamp and mac os x) installed, Magic Trackpad driver download and installed.
    Control Panel, Bluetooth Devices, Add - it detectes the magic track pad (ie track pad blinking, click add) everytime
    - It asks about a pass code, I have tried it without a pass code and with automatically Generate Passcode; does this setting matter?
    In bluetooth devides, the track pad shows with "Auto Generated passkey" when that is the option selected
    Found new hardware comes up, Apple Wireless Trackpad, everything looks fine.
    - In Bluetooth Devices, it shows the trackpad wiht "no passkey", even when I told it to automatically generate one.
    The track pad does not control the cursor.
    Close Bluetooth Devices and reopen it, or reboot and reopen Bluetooth devices, and the track pad is gone.
    Rebooting does not change the outcome of above.
    I have gone to device manager and tried to update the two (apple & microsoft) Bluetooth drivers with the update button, it says I have the most current.
    I do not see how to tell if the Magic Trackpad driver is installed, so I tried installing it again. It does appear to be listed under HID in device manager.
    I have done a lot of googling, wasted a lot of time, if I cannot get it to work, I will return it to the apple store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    bob

    Bob, cannot help directly but I am having a similar problem on my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Pro. Pretty much the same symptoms except my trackpad is not always recognized - it seems I have to click it to get Bluetooth to see it. Windows claims to have seen it OK on one occasion and installed the drivers, asked for a reboot etc. but the TrackPad still does not respond.
    Works OK on the Mac side although it is not recognized as a separate Bluetooth trackpad which can be configured differently from the built-in. I wonder if this might be a clue?
    I have installed the patch and tried a bunch of other things. Seems like Apple has some work to do sorting out the bugs on both the Mac and Windows side with this device. Pity because its an excellent piece of kit otherwise!

  • My trackpad is not working! Please help!

    Hello! So I bought a trackpad not to long ago, and I needed to replace the batteries. So I did. I put the batteries in the correct way and everything. I don't know if it was the batteries or what but when I tried to press the on button, nothing was happing. The trackpad will not turn on. I'm starting to think I broke it.. i tried replacing the batteries with another set of new batteries, but that hasnt help. I don't know whats going on. The trackpad will not turn on, no matter how long i press the on button. I'm geeting really stressed. I payed like $100 for this thing, and it wont even turn on even when I put new batteries in it. Please help me!

    Holding the power button turns it off.  Just tap the power button once,  wait a minute and then do a physical click.  It should connect.

  • My mac fall and now the trackpad is not working?

    So today my macbook fall and the bottom left part of the trackpad is not working . I can still move the cursor, but if I click on the bottom left corner of the trackpad, I cannot tap the other trackpad part, it will not respond. To make it respond again, I need to click on the bottom right corner of the trackpad,  so I can tap the other trackpad parts. In short, I must TAP to click, I can't click on the bottom left corner. The secondary click (bottom right corner or two fingers tap) works fine.
    There's no Apple Store in my city (or even country, I live in Indonesia), I just have an Apple Reseller on my city. What do I need to do?

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

  • Cursor arrow gone from solid black to having white lines go through it and trackpad is not working properly in mail and adobe acrobat - anyone know how this could have happened and how to solve it?

    Can anyone help me?  Concerned that I may have some kind of malware.  My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely,  The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it.  The trackpad does not function normally either.  For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail  it sometimes works and sometimes does not.  In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work.  In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
    Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all.

    Macbook Air Late 2010 model, 10.6.7, 2.13 4g ram. Trackpad is not working properly and in sometimes not at all. Need suggestions to resolve this issue?  I have applied all Mac updates and still having problems with the trackpad.

    The machine has a 1 year warranty, book an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at.
    You can try doing a SMC reset however I don't think that is the solution.
    SMC RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    • On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-• Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    • Release the keys.

  • My trackpad is not working in bootcamp 4.0 with windows 7

    I just purchased an iMac and upgraded to Lion.  I then created a bootcamp partician and installed Windows 7 Professional.  Everything went smoothly until the trackpad driver was installed.  It failed.  The trackpad will not work.  I have tried to add it through the Bluetooth interface, but I get the eternal circle of **** from Microsoft...Not much of an improvement on the old hourglass of ****.  Anyway, please help get this driver updated for bootcamp so I can use my trackpad.

    I think that has always been a problem at times. though surprised.
    I would assume disabling and then reinstalling or along those lines.
    Uninstall the driver Apple has or see if you can "rollback" in Device Manager.
    Startup items from msconfig would be one place.
    I assume you can do a safe boot / boot from Windows DVD and restore to point prior to this / if you have Snow Leopard use 3.0 thru 3.2 drivers instead

  • I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out.  I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.

  • My MacBook Pro trackpad is not working

    My Macbook Pro was purchased in September 2009. The trackpad is not responding to clicks on the computer.
