Apple issues update to resolve MacBook / MacBook Pro trackpad issues

Software

New MacBook and MacBook Pro users rejoice – Apple has issued the promised software update that supposedly resolves any trackpad issues you may have been experiencing. Text from the update:

This firmware update addresses an issue where trackpad clicks may not be recognized on MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) systems.
When installation is complete, the updater application will launch automatically. Follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the update process. (If Software Update requires a restart, the updater application will launch after you log in.)

Those affected will surely know what we’re talking about here. In a nutshell, new MacBook and MacBook Pro models would have issues where the trackpad click would fail to function after a certain number of clicks. No worries though, all should now be resolved. The update will push through automatically but if you’re still waiting, hit it manually to start enjoying your sexy new trackpad error-free.

    Thank God. While I had no problems with my trackpad for the first few weeks of my new MacBook’s like, recently the trackpad has started acting up like an undisciplined adolescent with AD/HD.

    I don’t have one yet, but I will be getting one next year when all these “bugs” are fixed. I might rush into buying cellphones/smartphones once they come out, but definitely not higher priced items like computers. Hopefully these bugs are fixed though for the people who already own the new MacBooks.
