Anyone else with a Magic Trackpad and a MacBook Pro?

So I just got the Magic Trackpad thinking I would have the same experience as my internal trackpad, only on my desktop. But I was wrong...and was wondering if anyone else noticed this...
I love the multitouch gestures, but it just feels so weird. Maybe the pad is too large?
The main problem I have with it is the click. it does not seem to "click" very much. I was bummed to see that the clicking is done all my the little two feet.
If you compare the click to the internal trackpad compared to the external Magic Trackpad, there is a big difference. The MBP click is more "clicky" and easy to do. The Magic Trackpad is more harder to click. Almost mushy. It is quieter though. But I almost prefer the loud CLICK sound from my MBP.
I also found there are two things you can do to change the performance of this click issue. You can either put things under the two feet (like I used two coins) and that kind of helps it clicker deeper, but then it slides around on your desk. (I'm going to look for those little stick-on rubber stoppers like you put on your kitchen cabinet doors to see if that helps any) The other thing I've tried is just using the tap to click and raising the trackpad up so the feet don't even touch the table. Now there is no "click" at all. The touch to click works fine, but then when it comes to cretin things when you are used to clicking, it just doesn't work out.
So my question is, has anyone else noticed this? Maybe I got a defective pad and that is why I am having such a hard time clicking?
I welcome any comments, reviews, etc. relating to this Magic Pad click issue.
Thanks,
Scott

I recently got a Magic Trackpad. The click pressure was too much so I set it to tap to click and liked it, although it was a little too sensitive for me and I don't know how to set the sensitivity.
Now I went on a trip with only my older MBP and I find it is extremely sensitive, I constantly find I seem to have clicked where I didn't intend to. The system preference doesn't have the option to turn the tap to click off without the trackpad connected.
I consider this a bug!
Am I wrong?
When your Magic Trackpad is on and connected to your MBP the settings for it will appear in system preferences.
If you turn off your Magic Trackpad to disconnect it from your MBP, the the settings that show up in System Prefs are for the INTERNAL trackpad.
Kinda confusing. They should just have two tabs at the top where you can set different settings for each trackpad.

  • Why doesn't my EarPods with 3.5 mm work with my iPod touch and my MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPod touch 4g and a Macbook Pro that i bought on October of 2013. I have an EarPod 3.5mm but it won't work witht these items. Should it work? Should it not work? You can hear sounds but they are unclear or you cannot hear them at all if you listen to them.

    If you have another device that uses headphones try it with that. If they don't work get them replaced or buy some good headphones.
    You are welcome.

  • My Imac 27' screen is shutting off for no reason. The Imac is still running but the screen is black and stay like that. Is there anyone else with the same problem, and does somebody know what is this?

    I had my Imac27' for about 1 year (I bought it january 2011) , and it worked fine. But two days ago a problem started. The screen is turning black suddently, and it stay like that until I reboot it. It's not cool. The first time it happen it was hafter a very long days of video editing, I tought it was to hot. But now I just started up the Imac and 10 minutes later it happen. And now  I transfer my desktop on my second screen, because the one of my Imac is constantly shutting of. What is this? Can I do something about that?

    I´ve came across with the same problem and when I look out for solutions I found out that basically I had Three options
    1.- Dim the brightness to the first 2 dots (that is the limit for me, anything above that shuts down again my screen)
    2.- Replace an expensive part of the screen (about $900)
    3.- Try with an external monitor to see if the problem was the screen or something else
    What I did was to plug my flat screen to my mac with a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter?fnode =51
    And… Problem Solved! now Im going to buy a Monitor that gonna cost me less than half of the replacement parts, my main monitor will keep siting down if i dim it above the 2 dots but at least I will have the other to work properly
    So that´s that, I hope someone finds this helpful
    P.S. Sorry if my english it´s not that good

  • Anyone else's boot logo fuzzy on the MacBook Pro with Retina?

  • Does any one else with a mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro have this problem?

    I took my computer in for repair last year having this problem and the problem has started again. I don't know why this happens because I am very carefull with my laptop and never use it on my lap. I also have a shell case on the computer and put this in a laptop sleeve. Also,  have friends that abuse their laptops and have the same model as me and they have never had this kind of issue. My software is up to date so I don't think thats a problem.
    Model: Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012
    I purchased this in June 2012 and do not have apple care so if someone can tell me how much the repair for this problem will cost that would be great!

    That looks like a GPU or display problem.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be free regardless of warranty status.  You will be told what repair costs will be, which you may accept or decline.
    Bring the image with you just in case the MBP starts to behave it self in front of the technician.
    Ciao.

  • Magic Trackpad and Logic

    Just wondering if anyone is using the magic trackpad with Logic. I was thinking of getting it; I love the multitouch gestures on my laptop. But I'm wondering what people's experience has been with the magic trackpad and Logic specifically. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    I have it... but have not updated to 10.6.4.
    It does move the pointer around really well... as soon as Avid confirm use of 10.6.4 with Pro Tools (my main DAW) then I'll be able to use it for surround panning, etc...

  • Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands.  I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command.  Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?

    No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

    after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support

  • Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?

    Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Site usually flicks off in under a minute. Anyone else with this problem?

    The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
