How Do You Get the Apple Trackpad Icon to Show Up in Sys Prefs?

Just upgraded to 10.6.4, did all software updates, and bought the Trackpad. Trackpad works, but there is no icon for it in the Sys Prefs to make adjustments. Suggestions?
Thanks
Tom

Thanks!
Yeah I saw it last night on the Apple website, and ran to the Apple store today to get one, All Things Apple Fanboy that I am
It really looks cool, and is very responsive as you would expect, but after decades with a mouse, will take some getting used to. I've been using it all evening and starting to feel a bit more comfortable with it. Quite a change though. I do love not having the space it saves in not having to move the mouse around....thanks again..

If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

You can either,
A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
or
B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately the Apple TV doesn't have a web browser so you can't do that.

You may need to set the slider at the upper-right corner of the Control window to something other than the extreme left-most position:

How do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running mavercik

how do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running maverick.

Thanks for the link Diesel. Not quite there yet. Software is all up to date to 6.0.2. Your link suggests I should have second or third gen apple tv. Not sure what generation Apple TV I have. Don't believe its a really early model. I have model MC572LL/A. But it has the latest update, so I would think it would connect. Still no apple tv icon on my macbook pro.

How do you get the Apple Wireless Keyboard to accept function keys?

I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPad2 and I use the VPN to connect to my work-related software which requires that I use some of the function keys as actual F1, F2, F3,...etc. When I hit F2, the iPad2 responds with the Screen Brighter action. How do I get the keyboard input to just be F2? Thanks!

Thanks. But I tried that and nothing happens. I've looked though all the System Preferences sections and can't find anything on this.

How do you get the apple remote to STOP always launching iTunes????

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have discovered a few annoyances. The biggest one is that the Apple remote is always launching iTunes when I use it. Even when the Finder is not the target app.
I have my entire Star Trek collection on a firewire drive, and I like using VLC to watch them because of the playlist feature. Every time I use the Apple remote to try to skip to the next episode, it launches iTunes and begins playing music. This NEVER happened before in Leopard or Tiger.
I have gone through the iTunes preferences and also looked for some obscure system preference to deal with this issue, but so far, no luck.
Again, the]is NEVER happened under previous operating systems, so I'm going to assume it's a glitch in Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know what's happening here??
Help me obi-wan.

HI,
Open System Preferences/Security and turn Disable remote control infrared receiver.
You may have to click the gold padlock icon to do this. You will be prompted for your
Admin password.
Also, when you come across a "bug", report it to Apple.

And it seems you are not alone...

You can try to re "Pair' the remote also.
To pair an Apple Remote with your computer:
Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches away) and point the remote at the front of the computer.
Press and hold both the Menu and Next buttons on the remote until the paired-remote icon appears on your screen (about 5 seconds).
To unpair an Apple Remote:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security preferences
Click Unpair.

How do you get the Apple website to recognize a new pc tower?

My account was started in December 2012 and I bought a new Dell tower in February. I wanted to buy music yesterday and found that I could buy it but not download to my ipod because Apple did not recognize my pc. I removed the information on the old pc and now cannot get this pc recognized. There is no button on the Account information page to do this. How do I get it done?

How do I get the Adblock Plus icon to show up after disappearing?

All of my cookies recently got deleted (for some unknown reason) and apparently my Adblock icon disappeared as well. I went into options to click the "show in add-on toolbar" box and it won't let me click it. What's going on and how do I fix it?

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

How do you get the new pane window to show websites?

I followed the instructions in the help article, but it still didn't make my preview windows come back. Am i just doing it wrong or do i have a different issue? I just installed kapersky anti virus as well but i dont see any options that would affect the preview tabs. What else can i do?

Yes.When you click on the new tab plus sign, there are preview windows for most used websites. Mine have all disappeared. The silhouettes are there, but they will not populate with any websites. There is a help topic about it, but I followed the instructions and no joy, it didn't work.

How do I delete the apple watch icon?

How do I remove the Apple Watch Icon from my iPad 2?

They should be iPhone only. I know I didn't get one on my iPod.
Apple puts the software on your phone just so that everything is ready to go if you ever choose to get a watch. It's like Newsstand and Health, Facetime, iMessage, Passbook and other built in apps. Stuff you may never use but Apple feels should be there ready if you ever choose to use it.

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.
