Apple Issues Fix for Unrecognized Clicks on Glass Trackpads
As promised by Steve Jobs, Apple has issued a Trackpad Firmware Update to owners of the new MacBook and MacBook Pros:
This firmware update addresses an issue where trackpad clicks may not be recognized on MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) systems.
The issue gained publicity after numerous complaints appeared on Apple's own discussion forum. A MacRumors reader subsequently received an email reply from Steve Jobs who revealed that a software fix was "coming soon."Top Rated Comments

I just got my replacement MBP today, and installed all the updates. At first I had 13 updates, and after a while I had 14, which said Trackpad Firmware update. Is this the one everyone has been waiting on?

Yep - I've literally just unboxed a new MacBook and on the second reboot the Trackpad Firmware Update showed up. Have installed it and no problems so far.

Why does it now show up in Apple's Software Update Downloads page then?
This is normal Apple behaviour when updates are first released. They show up in Software Update first and for the specific models they target.

Hallelujah. Time to install this sucker and hope my problems go away. *crosses fingers*

Looks like the email he sent me on Saturday telling me that a fix was coming soon wasn't a fib. Nice.

Great, for my new MBP. Can someone email him and ask if PUSH has been cancelled and when will he get Safari to stop crashing about 10 times a day on the iPhone? :o

So much for the "Steve doesn't answer email and would not commit in any way" ;)
