Can iPhone be used as a remote mouse track pad?

I know the iPhone can be used as a remote control for Apple TV etc but I wondered if it could also be customised into a remote trackpad. I am about to buy a Mac Mini to use as a media server as I have lots of media that won't fit nicely into Front Row. As a result, I'll have to use a mouse and keyboard, which would be a pain. If the iPhone could be configured into a remote trackpad, that'd solve many a problem.

  • Why can't I use my MagicMouse and my track pad on my MacBook Pro 17" simultaneously?

    I bought my son a new MacBook Pro and I now have his older one (2008).  It still works like it was brand new but I found out, as I was personalizing it that the Magic Mouse and track pad won't work simultaneously.  It's either one or the other.  I have a 15" MacBook Pro about the same age and I can use them both together.  Is there a setting somewhere within the system preferences? 

    3-D is very memory intensive.

    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**

    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Can iphone 4 use facetime with other phone?

    Hi,can iphone 4 use facetime or video call with sony ericsson satio?do need to install any software?

    yes the above said, yahoo messenger came out with the update, which you can do video calling from your iphone 4/ipod touch 4G to a pc/mac. It can be done through wi-fi or 3G
    There is another app called Tango which you can do video chat cross-platformed, meaning, you can make video call with another device that isn't an iphone 4, such as an android phone, they should also have tango, once they download the tango, and if their e-mail is saved in your contact, you will then be able to make video calls. can be done in wi-fi or 3G
    *if you have unlimited 3G data, then I wouldn't worry, but if you have a data cap, then not recommeneded as it can eat up your data pretty fast.

  • Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad.  can not use apple chat to talk with a tech.  there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button.  No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick

    Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad.  can not use apple chat to talk with a tech.  there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button.  No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick
    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 ...

  • Can I use an apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    How do I use my apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work.  So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked.  Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
    Thank you for all your help.

  • Replace mouse track pad

    Mouse track pad is not working properly, clicking all the time and moving by itself

    Did you spill a liquid on the trackpad or could a liquid somehow gotten under the trackpad? If so then you should let it dry for a day and if still doesn't work then go to your local Computer Doctor or GeekSquad at Best Buy. If you can't then you'll have to go to the Apple Store, but try to make it your last resort because if Apple decides not to do it for free, (which they might do it for free) then you may have to pay a few hundred dollars. You could even try repairing it yourself if it's still not working for whatever reason, but that is more complicated and risky. Hope this helps.

  • Does magic mouse track pad functions work with OSX10.5.8?

    Does the Magic Mouse track pad function work with OSX 10.5.8? Or do I need updated software to use all of the functions?

    The Magic Mouse system requirements:
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    The Magic Trackpad requires 10.6.4 or later.

  • I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

    I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
    Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

    You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

  • Can iPhone be used as a target drive like iPod for.....

    Thanks for looking
    I'd love the ability to have iPhone be used as a target disk for storage of small files but more importantly to, via USB, download my Digital images from my camera.
    So, can I use the usb to download from the camera?
    Asking too much would be having the iPhone's app put a album togeather when you download jpg's etc... but I could really use the storage of images etc...
    Thanks

    The iPhone does not support disk mode.
    The only way to transfer data to and from the iPhone is via a USB connection to your Mac. You can import photos taken by the iPhone to iPhoto just as with a digital camera and you can transfer photos (select photo albums) from iPhoto to the iPhone.

  • Can I use Lion without magic mouse or pad

    I am interested in updating to Lion on a mac mini at work but it doesn't have a magic mouse or pad. Will I be able to use the sliding features with a regular mouse?

    Sorry, but no.
    For the Multi-Touch Gestures you have to have/use a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or a Mac Notebook with Multi-Touch Trackpad.

    Nonetheless, a standard mouse can be used with OSX Lion but without Gestures then.
