Unresponsive Trackpad in 10.6.2?
Posted on November 21st, 2009 by tomacintosh in Hardware, tags: 10.6.2, macbook, unibody, unresponsive trackpadSince Apple released the 10.6.2 update on November the 9th I have noticed the glass trackpad on my Unibody MacBook has become very unresponsive. I didn’t really notice it at first, but then started to wonder why links in Safari weren’t responding to my clicks. Not only that, selecting blocks of text or using the scroll bars has become increasingly frustrating. I tried cleaning the trackpad with an alcohol solution, tried repairing permissions, and even reset the System Management Controller (SMC). The only thing I could think of that’d changed recently was me updating to 10.6.2.
After a bit of searching I couldn’t find much through Google. I then decided on posting a thread on the Apple Support forums. After a few days, more reports started trickling in with others experiencing the same problem.
So get on it, Apple!

I have the exact same problem on my Macbook Pro 13″ when I updated to 10.6.2. The trackpad doesn’t register clicks and highlight/draging is almost impossible. I guess I made a big mistake. I really hope Apple fixes this issue.
ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS PLEASE REPORT THIS ISSUE IN MAC OS X FEEDBACK. The more of us report, the faster this problem is going to be fixed. THANK YOU.

I had the same issue, and then iI read a forum about pushing down on the trackpad for 30sec with the palm of my hand and it fixed it!!

Weird that it fixed it, kinda like hitting the side of your TV to fix the picture back in the day! It is sometimes phasing in and out of not working now however.
