trackpad

If you compared them side by side, you will immediately notice MBA trackpad is smaller than the MBP counterpart. Theory? Logically it seems they wanted to distinguish pro line from the air by deliberately making the air trackpad smaller thus compelling buyers to opt for the pro models and pay...

Yo! On my old MacBook Air I could hover the mouse over a file, tab and hold with 3 fingers on that file, and then move all 3 fingers across the trackpad to drag the file. On my new MacBook Pro, I cannot find out how to set this up. I can only drag files/windows by clicking + holding, which I...

Hi All! I just purchased a used 2015 Macbook Air i7/8gb/512 and am amazed at how much quicker it feels than my 2011 i5/4gb. Well worth the upgrade! While the performance feels quite good, there are two things about the 2015 that I definitely don't like as much as my 2011 - the keyboard doesn't...

Hi all! I have a 15" 2018 macbook pro, everything is working great. I was just wondering if my trackpad's sound is normal. When I click the sound is rather high-pitched (see video). Is this the normal sound of the MacBook trackpad? Thanks!

Hi guys, I got a Macbook Pro in where the Keyboard and Trackpad would not work intermittently (most of the time, actually). External keyboard and mouse work fine. I swapped out the trackpad cable for a new one. - The computer now wouldn't turn on using the power button (BUT THE POWER BUTTON...

Awful sounding Trackpad sounds like I'm typing on a keyboard.... So much flex when you push in the middle of the keyboard too... what's going on... is this normal? Thanks!

I have noticed the past few months the batteries are draining incredibly fast. I used to eke out two months or so… well that was when I bought the trackpad new a couple years ago. Right now I am down to 1 1/2 weeks, which is frankly ridiculous! For the record: Mac mini, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5...

Hey Mac-Community, I've had a Macbook Pro for ages and as for most users its configured as to my needs. At work, I got a new Macpro with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 now and to my shock the configuration of the trackpad seems limited. With my Mac for example I can mark multiple items only by swiping...

Hello! I got a MacBook Pro (15", 2017 model) which is only a couple of months old. Today I noticed something about the trackpad, and I want to ask you guys whether this is a normal thing - because to me it sure does not sound normal. Problem: only when I tap the trackpad a bit harder than...

Hello, I have the following problem: the trackpad of my Macbook Air (A1466) - (Mid 2012), is working, however sometimes it is great the difficulty of making a selection of text for example. I have to position the cursor where I want to start the selection, click and hold the trackpad and wait a...

Hello, This morning my trackpad became unresponsive and a window appeared on my MacBook Air saying that the computer was searching for a Bluetooth trackpad device, which I have never used before. The trackpad is still functioning properly when I first reboot the computer and have to enter in my...

Hello, I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2014 A1502 with a left click issue. I am a computer technician so I am familiar with most repairs and have attempted most things already that other people have on similar forums. So the track pad lets me move the pointer around and I can right click on things...

This one is gonna be long and complicated. Half typing this out for myself - sometimes you figure things out in the middle of long posts like these... Anyway Important information - MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.8 17" Mid-2009 5,2 A1297 - Upgraded to SSD and 8GB RAM - Currently running a fresh...

Anyone else noticed this? It used to be that the cursor on screen would track perfectly with movements on the trackpad. Now there's a lot of skittishness; the cursor pausing when my finder is still moving, the cursor jumping around, etc It's a bit of a nightmare...

Hi, I'm new here and I'm not sure it has been answered already but I have this problem.. My trackpad first stopped working on my a1502 and later on my keyboard started acting up. I noticed (after already replacing met keyboard) that the caps lock wouldn't stay on and when going to keyboard...

This afternoon I checked a 2016 MBP without touchbar alongside my 2017 MBP with toucher. I was specifically looking for the difference in haptic feedback between the two devices. I found that the 2016 model has a slightly more clicky kind of feedback whereas the feedback from my MBP is less...

Hi everyone, I have just enabled dragging on my new MacBook Pro and have enabled "Without Drag Lock" in the accessibility settings. This should mean that when i release my finger after dragging, the action should stop immediately. However, this is not the case! There is about a 1 second delay...

Has anyone here encountered an issue where when the computer is warm, the trackpad becomes sticky and refuses to click down in certain areas? This only happens when Force Click and Haptic Feedback are enabled in system preferences. Quick test is to open up 8-10 tabs of YouTube videos. My 3 week...

I've just upgraded to Sierra, and now after three consecutive scroll movements, the trackpad scrolling distance doubles or triples. There was something similar in El Capitan, but I must have found how to fix it because I can't remember it being that way lately. I wonder if there is a fix for...

Have a 2016 RMB and recently used a 2016 MBP, noticed in addition to the v2 butterfly keys feeling better, the trackpad feels much sharper in click response (seems more accurate in both mouse movement and mouse click) and is quieter and more solid feeling on the MBP than on my RMB, which has a...
