Apple releases update for unrecognized clicks on the new MacBook and MacBook Pro

Apple has just released an update for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro that is supposed to fix the unrecognized clicks on the new glass trackpad. The issue has been publicly complained about quite a bit on Apple’s own discussion forums.

This firmware update addresses an issue where trackpad clicks may not be recognized on MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) systems.

When installation is complete, the updater application will launch automatically. Follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the update process. (If Software Update requires a restart, the updater application will launch after you log in.)

I just installed and tested the update, and it appears to solve the clicking issues. I personally found my trackpad before the update to not recognize clicks occasionally, but with the update installed, the issue seems to have gone away.
