Anybody using Apple's Magic Trackpad with LR?

Howdy,
The magic trackpad has been getting rave reviews from friends. Is anybody finding it to be especially helpful when using LR?

but only want to see my Lightroom created slideshows. Possible??
I don't think so. ATV's photo sharing only pulls from iPhoto or Photostream as far as I know.

Using Apple's Magic Trackpad in Fireworks

I am using Fireworks CS6 on the MacBook Pro 15inch Retina and I find that pretty much all of the gesture based finctions of the trackpad including 2 finger scrolling navigation, pinch zoom and (Option+ 2 finger) zoom does not work. Is the trackpad's functionality simply not supported or is there a plugin or am I just doing it wrong?
Thanks folks

What was the answer Keith? I'd be interested to know.

Yes. Pair using Bluetooth with your MacBook Air.

Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
It's Windows.

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

I want to buy an imac from the refurb store, but with a magic trackpad. Is it possible to get a magic trackpad with a refurbished imac?

You would have to buy it separately. Refurbished machines are sold as they were originally configured so you cannot customize the machine when you order it.

HT201272 I am using Apple ipod 2nd gen with IOS 4.2.1 . No i recently updated my IOS and all my apps were deleted. Now when i download IBOOKS it needs IOS 5. How do i get the apps which are copatible with IOS 4.2.1 or IPOS 2nd GEN??

You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

Anyone using the magic trackpad with iPhoto 11 in fullscreen mode?

I love fullscreen mode in the new release of iPhoto. Does the magic trackpad make it more iPad/phone like?

To answer you question, no. I have the trackpad and it does NOT make the experience any different than it is on a laptop. There is NOT any iPad like gestures that are included in the Photo App on the iPad. I thought there would be some but unfortunately there are not magic things LIKE the iPad

Apple new magic trackpad: Am I the only one who can't pinch zoom?

I'm tryung to zoom in or out using the pinch gesture in indesign CS5
it works fine on the built in trackpad of my laptop (10.5.8) but on the magic trackpad paired to my new Imac i5 (10.6.4) it doesn't.
Any ideas anyone?

Well I've been up since 2am so I hope I get some sleep otherwise I'm going to turn on my iPad and stare at it without being able to read a word...or worse sleep right through FedEx coming by.
If I happened to have a working printer at the moment I think I'd put one of those pre-signed things on the door. Of course if it's a new driver, as seems to happen frequently, they'll have to call first since they can never find me anyway (I've tried to correct Google maps but the corrections never stay...the funny thing is before Google maps they never had a problem it was easy enough to figure out there was only one house with a number that high, the next closest house being like the equivalent of a block and a half away, but now if its not on the map it can't exist). And yes I've tried putting various signs with the address down on the road but with the high winds, heavy snows, snow plows etc. they never last long or just aren't noticed even when painted in bright red . OK are you asleep yet??? No, okay well then let me again thank Apple for not doing Saturday delivery which isn't available here. That do the trick? Sorry don't know how to be more boring. Well unless you want to talk about Object C or something .

Pairing magic trackpad with Macbook10.5.8

Unable to pair my Macbook with the magic trackpad. It prompts me to enter a passkey into the "device" to complete the pairing process. I have no idea how to enter the passkey onto the magic trackpad. All I know is if the green light blinks it is ready to be found.

Good idea to follow the manual.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Magic_TrackpadUG.pdf
The key you are being asked to input will be done on your keyboard. This is to make sure you're pairing with the correct device.

Magic Trackpad with Chinese writing input

Does the new Magic Trackpad work with OS X 10.6 Chinese writing input as on the Macbook Pro with multi-touch trackpad?
cheers.

The trick was to deselect all Chinese-input forms and reboot. Then it was available.
Just as a reminder, if you use spaces, you'll probably want to:
" go to: System/Library/Input Methods/, Find ChineseHandwriting.app
then open system preference, Exposé & Spaces, click on Spaces
then drag ChineseHandwriting.app into the application assignments
then set space to Every Space
Actually, that worked on my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't seem to have worked yet on my Mac Pro. Hmmm... Possibly have to reboot.

MAGIC TRACKPAD WITH PAINTSHOP - SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS AVALIABLE ?

I like the new magic trackpad but not to be used with Photoshop. The pressure needed with the finger to "paint" is far less confortable than using a Magic Mouse.
Is there any special configuration SW to be used to get a better performance with PS ?
Thanks.

I just noticed the same thing = I hadn't used it much but just moved up to Lion and started to and it wouldn't work = but when I read your issue I tried it with a wet finger and it worked. I can't even read the serial number on it so can't call for help. Any other suggestions?? I bought it in late April.

Can I use Apple TV (version 3 with IOS 5.1) Airplay to simultaneously to stream audio to another Apple TV without using itunes on my PC?

I have 2 Apple TV's version 3 with IOS 5.1 and would like them both to play the same music through Match simultaneousy but without having to use iTunes on my PC.
It seems I can only select one of them at a time for audio output, is there a way to make them both play at the same time?

My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
