Trackpad Not Functioning Properly

It could be damaged. You might want to take it to an apple store to get looked at

 

when i first got my macbook this happened to me like twice. also my hands were damp im not sure if it was that or what. but it hasent acted up since.

see if it returns to normal within a few hours, if it doesnt or the problem comes back. take it back to apple.

 

im not totally sure on that one. best thing i can tell ya is bring it in if the problem persists. hopefully for your sake they will repair for free. if not i believe you can order trackpads on ebay for cheaper and put it in yourself. im sure theres directions online. would most likely save u about 100 bucks.

 

Take it into apple. Mine kinda did the same thing, it did it twice and if it does it a third time they said they will have to replace it.

 

Hi,

Not sure if this will help, but the battery in my Blackbook 4,1 was swelling, or became swollen, which prevented the mouse button from working. Not sure where them there fancy aluminum Macbooks keep their batteries, but, perhaps try removing it and see if your trackpad and mouse work.

Hope it helps, and good luck.

 

hw do you try to use your computer if you have taken the battery out?

 

Those are known to have bum trackpads. That being said, they are cheap, for an Apple Store to replace it should be ~$100USD.

 

Says who? Source please.

They are not cheap. You cannot replace the trackpad without replacing the topcase. That being said, it will got a pretty penny. Something like $300USD.

 

My brand new MacBook Pro 13 (one week old) is also less than impressive in its trackpad operation. The cursor is often 'left behind' or just disappears. I've deactivated all the trick new trackpad functions as they were annoying me, especially single-tap which is far too sensitive.

 

I have replaced over 30 of these myself add that to the other tech's at my store it's well over 150.

On the unibody's the trackpad is a separate part.
