Apple releases Trackpad firmware update for MacBook and MacBook Pro

after the 1.0 update, i lost drag-move function with mutiple selected items in finder.

i have the 2.4ghz model. trackpad was working well but i decided to update the software in the lappie.

but after updating the trackpad software, when i tried to drag-select(1 finger) photo files of the same date in finder (this part was ok), lifting my finger when i finished to pause and stop selecting other files, then dragging these selected files into another folder, it would deselect and reselect only the one file i had placed the cursor on, instead of dragging the whole bunch!

since osx doesn't have a cut or move function, i'm quite pissed i lost this drag-move function. someone has help to this problem? how do i roll back or uninstall the 1.0 update?

It looks like after installing the Firmware update this was left in my /Applications/Utilities folder. I was wondering if removing it is possible or will it break something? (by the way I have found a couple more firmware updates in the same folder)

I see no diffrence between this update and the previous version? :s

I'm still experiencing contextual menus coming up frequently when I click.

But when are they going to fix tap to click and scrolling in Boot Camp?!!?! This is ridiculous

Oh dear - I am in the minority here as the "fix" has not worked for me. Still, I went out and bought a Mac wireless mouse a couple of days ago and am happy not to need the load of %$£( that the trackpad seems to be. And why couldn't the "fix" let you select what you wanted to be "on" - specifically I need to be able to switch the infuriating zoom feature off and it cannot be done. You can unckeck the option or select one of the "zoom while holding" but nothing happens and when you go back to look it has reset itself to being "on".

On the bright side I love the screen and everything else about the unibody MacBook - much better than my MB White, which I loved by the way.

Never had any issues. I just purchased mine on 11/14/08. Everything works great.

For what it's worth, I didn't have any problem to begin with...In OS X. The only problem I had was in Windows. (Trackpad won't accept tap to click)
....And still won't after update. Oh well. I only boot to XP for light gaming anyway.

Now that the trackpad has been finally addressed, I can say w/ confidence:

- the MacBook is with out a doubt the best machine I've ever owned.

- the MacBook and MacBook Pro are the best computers on the market.


Hey Apple: Thanks! But please, try harder in refraining from selling half-baked tech in the future... this was pretty bad.

Now hurry your arses up w/ the 30-inch adapter!

I don't think I've clicked my MB Pro trackpad yet. I find that a one fingered tap works well for left click and a two fingered tap works well for a right click
