I recently bought a new black MacBook, Penryn based. It is perfect with the exception of the trackpad.
When using the trackpad, it will occasionally go crazy. I think what happens is that it thinks that two fingers are being applied. When I have the two finger scrolling on, it will start scrolling when I only have one finger on the pad. If I have the scrolling deactivated, it doesn't seem to do it quite as much, but it will go unresponsive for a few seconds. It acts like it would if you put another finger on the pad while you're moving the mouse around.
I have turned the "ignore accidental trackpad" on and off to see if that helps, and it doesn't. Sometimes rebooting helps, but I think that's just coincidental. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if it is software or hardware. About every other day I check for software updates, but I'm kind of lost. Is there anyway I can fix this without taking it in somewhere or having to send it somewhere?
Maybe I just have super fat fingers...
