(URGENT: ANY HELP APPRECIATED!) 15" macbook pro retina display with trackpad having erratic movements (version 10.9.2)

Had this problem 2 days ago since I bought it. At first the trackpad just froze. Now it's having very erratic movements that even closes tabs on browsers etc.
Tried installing EFI update 1.2 and 1.3 but it says "This software is not supported on  your system." (My software version is OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, mid 2012)
I have also tried the quick method of pressing the top corners of the trackpad & it only helps with the clicking but not the movement of the cursor. Apparently using external mouse instead of the trackpad works fine, but most of the time, even the mouse cursor becomes very erratic.
Please, anyone experienced the same thing & managed to solve it?
Feeling desperate and annoyed.

Look for possible solutions here:

In addition a thorough cleaning of the trackpad will sometimes restore functionality.
Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro Retina display with scratch/crack in the glass

    Hi,
    Can it be real, that on my new MacBook Pro Retina display I have a little scratch/crack in the glass out of the box?
    You can only see it if you have light (e.g withe) background on the display.
    I hope Apple Care will replace it.
    Does anybody else have the same issue?
    Regards,
    JO

    When I bought my iMac and took it home and set it up, I was cleaning the screen and noticed what looked like smears on the inside of the glass. I took a picture of it with my iphone and went back to the apple store. Of course the genuis could not see it in the brightly lit store, so I showed her the picture. I also took a little flash light with me and she was then able to see the marks. She thought they looked like fingerprints under the glass. They swapped out the iMac right there for a new one.

  • Where can I buy a Macbook pro retina display with english keyboard in bangkok

    Hi,
    I am currently in Bangkok right now. I wanted to buy the new Macbook Pro with retina display. I went to Power Buy in Central world and found out that the keyboard for the macs have thai characters as well as English ones. I wanted to buy a mac with plain English keyboard. The guy in the store said that is only possible if I buy online.
    Is there anywhere or any store in Bangkok where I could get the new macbook pro with an english keyboard? Thanks.

    Since nobody in this forum represents Apple or any store, you will probably get better info on this by directly contacting stores yourself.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display Disk is locked

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro retina display with mountain lion 10.8.1.
    Today I shutdown my machine and now when I try to turn it on it goes to a progress bar and spinning and it just turns off itself. I have tried recovery mode and it turns out the disk needs repair and after repair it says it can't be repaired and it should be reformat again. I've tried safe mode but it keeps doing the progress bar and spinning and it turns off again.
    I don't know what happened to the machine it was on my desk all the time and it has flash storage so no failing in hard disk and bad sector.
    What should I do? (I don't have a external hard drive with GUID to install ML on it and see if I can open my Macintosh HD. And I don't have a Time Machine backup).

    Do you have any backups? If the answer is no, you've quite possibly lost all your data.

  • I am using MacBook Pro retina display

    i am using MacBook Pro retina display with mountain lion but it is not updating to 10.8.2 either this updation is available and also had downloded and working on my friends Macbook Air...why not working on my machine can anybody help me out plzz

    An Apple Tech person told me (I have the same problem) that this is a problem that the OSX 10.8.2 update has with solid-state storage devices.  They are working on a fix, he said, and will push it out via Software Update when it's ready.  He had no idea when that would be. 

  • New MacBook Pro Retina Display

    Why Apple doesn't support their new MacBook Pro Retina Display with DVD-Room (Superdrive)?

    There is no reason for people to wag around a superdrive all day. Most people never use it anymore.
    Well that is simply not true.  Everyone I know who uses a laptop still burns CD's and DVD's.  Especially if they use their laptops for any kind of work besides downloading movies and music from iTunes or uploading their iphone pictures to facebook.  At my job, and at a lot of jobs, documents, video and other media are still exchanged by portable media. The cloud is not yet at a place that there is across the board use of it and there are also security and technical issues when exchanging information in adversarial situations. That are more easily handled by sending a disk.  Unless your computer is nothing more than a toy for you, there will be a need to be able to produce portable media for a long time to come. However,  with the portable drive add on, it's not a must to have it built-in and you maybe even be able to find a better drive for burning stuff than apples so a portable situation can be a plus.

  • Portuguese Keyboard on Macbook pro retina display.

    Dear All.
    Is there a possibility to buy a macbook pro retina display with portuguese keyboard in Apple Store in the U.S.A.?
    Regards.
    Emilio Silva

    Hey, I have the same problem too. It is making me angry. Both my thunderbolt outputs work, but the hdmi freezes both screens. I then have to shut the computer off by holding the power button and re-boot. Have you found a solution? I NEED my hdmi port. Please get back to me. Thanks!

  • Can i buy a macbook pro retina display in US with portuguese keyboard?

    Can Apple or someone else tell me if is possible to buy in Apple Retail Store in U.S. a Macbook Pro retina Display  with portuguese keyboard?

    It's difficult to get one at a shop or Apple Online Store because build-to-order Macs aren't available at them unless they are very popular.
    The only option you have is to call Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and see if you can order a MacBook Pro with a Portuguese keyboard. In case you can, this will take days because it has to be ordered and delivered to the USAFD

  • About to upgrade MacBook Pro Retina Display

    Is it possible to upgrade the hardware of my MacBook Pro Retina Display with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD to 32 GB RAM?

    Even if you could install additional RAM, no MBP to date has been configured to accept 32 GB RAM.
    Ciao.
    A quick search suggests that there are no 204 pin DDR3 1600 Hz RAM chips available.

  • Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

    My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
    I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
    But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
    What should I do?
    Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
    But there is a major difference!
    -They have a black screen after they login.
    -My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
    This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
    Until now, nothing!
    Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
    I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
    Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
    How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
