  • Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

    I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
    When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
    Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
    Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

    Hi, marksaner
    You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here. 
    Hope it helps,

  • Lion work with Magic Mouse?

    Looks like this OS was made for macbooks and iMacs with touchpads.  Do the gestures work on the magic mouse?

    Yes, but they are different:

  • HT3131 Operating MBP in closed clamshell mode with external display

    I have a new MBP retina display.  Trying to operate in a closed clamshell mode.  I connect a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse.  My external display is a Dell 2007FP display screen connected via a VGA adapter.  Whenever I close the computer lid to operate in clamshell mode the screen goes to sleep/power save mode.  Have tried various combinations of attaching keyboard and mouse first then screen, switching computer off on etc.  The external display states there is "no signal coming from computer"...any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciate

    Congratulations on taking one more step in becoming more self sufficient in tech stuff.
    But I have to wonder why you spent so much on a Retina display only to have it cooking uselessly there.

  • HDMI Closed Clamshell mode display wake crash with Mavericks.

    Hi!
    Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel i7, 16GB DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.9.3
    So, I am running a macbook pro with an external HD display through the HDMI out on the computer, and the comptuer itself running in closed clamshell mode. Sometimes when the display sleeps I can not wake it up again, to the extent that I have to unplug everything and do a hard reset of my macbook. If music is playing it begins to skip. The display attempts to turn back on but then the screen goes blank. This seems to only happen when the display sleeps, not the computer itself.
    I was just wondering if a) Anyone else was having this problem and b) if Apple were aware of it?
    I have done my research and I use closed clamshell mode properly (Restart my comptuer when plugging in to the monitor, sleep before disconnecting etc.) and so far I have not lost any data, however I am concerned that having to manually restart my computer 3-4 times a week may at some point severely affect a document I am working on, particularly with Apple's latest software such as Mavericks and Logic X seemingly being so volatile at the moment.
    Any help you could provide would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt  work anymore

    Suddenly scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work any more. Left clicking and cursor moving works normal. I have checked the system preferences for the mouse and find nothing strange or unchecked. Any ideas?

    Also tried the universal access thing. Doesnt work.

  • Can the iPad work with a wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Would like to know if the new iPad will work with a wireless keyboard and mouse!

    There are quite a few threads requesting this facility, so I thought I would choose this recently active (at the time of writing) post to reply to, in the hope some thinking appleite with influence stumbles upon it.
    I totally get Apples philosophy of not polluting their interface design concepts with the introduction of a clunky so-last-year cursor; I actually agree.  What I can't understand so much is that there are a number of apps that could benefit from mouse support. The one I need is RDP.  This class of apps allow us to connect to servers running other operating systems using the IPad; why not authorise CERTAIN APPS to access the Bluetooth mouse stack, and let us have joy.  It doesn't affect the iPad experience in the slightest, at least not to it's detriment.
    The new retina screen is such that I actually prefer the experience of using my iPad to connect to the server than my laptop!, but given I develop software, there is no way my stubby finger can compete the clinical accuracy of a mouse when using intricate interfaces such as MSDE.  With just that one addition, I would practically move into the post pc era you tout so much, at least in my interfacing With the post pc pc,s :).
    Thanks

  • Closed clamshell mode on mba 13" - Keeps loggin out every 30 seconds

    I'm trying to use my MBA 13" in Closed clamshell mode, connected to a 27" Thunderbolt Display
    however it's not working-
    Every 30 seconds or so, it locks the screen, and makes me log in again.
    I have just reset my MBA to factory settings to see if that would fix it -
    Same problem.
    I also have a 13" MBPr - if i connect this to the same Thunderbolt display, I can operate it in closed clamshell mode no problem
    Any idea what's causing the problem?

    Oh..
    And i "meet the criteria" for closed clamshell -
    It's plugged in, external keyboard (bluetooth) and external mouse (bluetooth)

  • Distorted video on Acer monitor using closed clamshell mode

    I have a 15" Mid-Late 2007 MacBook Pro that I'm using in closed-lid mode with an Acer AL1917w monitor (DVI connection). After upgrading the Mac to Mavericks (10.9.2), I can't get the Acer monitor to display a non-distorted image when the Mac goes into closed-lid mode. With mirroring turned on and the MacBook Pro open, I can set the preferences to the highest resolution and I get a perfect image on both the MBP screen and on the Acer.
    However, when I close the display lid and the machine goes into closed-lid mode, the Acer monitor image changes to a slightly stretched, distorted image. This happens no matter what resolution I choose from the Displays preferences resolution choices.
    Again, it worked fine under Mac OS 10.5, but this problem shows up under 10.9.

    Hmm I can't think of any way to do that that doesn't involve wires and major mods (Drilling holes et al) .

  • Can no longer use an external display in closed clamshell mode

    Hi,
    I have this weird problem that just started couple days ago. 
    I own a MacBook Pro Early 2011 since March. 
    It's always hooked up to an external display and the MacBook Pro's LCD is turned off (closed clamshell mode).
    Lately, if the MacBook Pro's LCD is turned off, the external display won't show anything.
    But as soon as I open the lid, the external display will then mirror the MacBook Pro LCD.
    If I close back the lid, the external display will get blank.
    I also tried to change the display settings with no luck.
    In other words, I can no longer use my external display with the MacBook Pro in closed clamshell mode.
    I'm wondering if someone experienced this problem before.  Thanks for help.

    Hello sebastieng
    Open both, your MBP connected to the external screen. Open Preferences click here on "Displays" and then make the external Window to the main window by dragging the bar (line?) on top of the laptop window to the external window, which makes the second window the main window.

  • Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

    Hi There,
    Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
    So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
    +You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
    So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?
    Message was edited by: zulficarr

    Hi zulficarr
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

    Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.

  • Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

    Hi
    In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default. 
    How can i change this behaviour?

    I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
    I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
    I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
    If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
    In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.
