I'm glad a fix has come for the trackpad issues that I've been experiencing, but for some reason it won't let me install it. The installer says that my computer doesn't need the update. It's the newest version of the MacBook Pro 15". Does anyone have any ideas why it thinks I don't need the update?

Make sure you don't have any USB devices connected. It will require that you are plugged into wall power.

Big improvement!
No missing target because of "smudging" with your click finger.
No stuck cursor.
No invisible cursor.

So far, just great!

Anybody download the Safari update? I haven't done so yet, read too many problem posts on Apple forums. Wondering what others think about it.

I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my new macbook pro's trackpad. Wonder what good this firmsware will do.
