How do you turn Magic Trackpad off when shutting down?

Hi folks--
I just got a Magic Trackpad and I am learning to use it on a Mac Mini 2.0 Mid 2007, My question is; how does one turn it off, as I shut down my computer every night. I have seen that I could turn "off" Bluetooth before shutting down. I have tried the on/off switch on the Trackpad, but it seems to always stay On. Does it matter? I am concerned about battery life.

On the right side of your track pad is the switch. When you press and release the switch it will turn on, to turn off, press and hold the button until the green light goes out then release.
If you use rechargeable batteries you can just let the track pad go into sleep mode which is what I do. With Alkaline I would turn it off and make sure to take them out if you don't plan to use the track pad for an extended period. Alkaline batteries are prone to leaking once fully discharged.

    Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

    How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

    iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
    Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
    After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.

  • How do you turn the music off in the pull up window at the bottom of the iPad?

    Ever since the latest update there is no volume unless I plug in earbuds. I figured out that if music was on it would over ride you tube or any other venue I wanted to watch...so I know to shut off everything if I want to hear random items. BUT in the pull up window for quick adjustments at the bottom of the iPad I see my music is always on! How do I turn it off? How do I delete songs, artists I don't want?

    The problem is : that because this is always on my external speaker will not emit sound. The music over rides EVERYTHING. Is there no way of turning all music off? This is a major problem for me. If I want to share a video of a grandchild with someone there is NO volume without earbuds. I've reset ALL settings (suggestion from Apple) it worked till I plugged my earbuds in the first time after the reset.
    I know how to double click on the home button to bring up all open apps and swipe up to close them BUT it doesn't close them from the quick adjustment window at the bottom pull up window. It shows music still playing.
    This all started with the latest update! I think it's a glitch in the system.

  • How do you turn on the laptop when it shuts itself down and the power button isn't working

    How to I turn the laptop on after it has shut itself off

    If you hold the power button down for 15 to 20 seconds and the machine still will not turn on, you should do one of three things:
    1.  Take it to an Apple Store for an assessment and estimate.
    2.  Take it to an Authorized Apple Service Center for an assessment and estimate.
    3.  Consider purchasing a replacement machine.

  • How can you turn the screen off without access to the power button and without using auto-lock?

    We are using iPads that are locked down with Guided Access and secured within hard plastic mounts screwed down onto a countertop.  We can press the home button with a paperclip, but that's it.  We don't want to use auto-lock because there might be several hours where the terminals aren't used, but we don't want them to go to sleep during business hours, otherwise we'll have to grab a paper clip and turn them back on.  Also, if we set the auto-lock to several hours, then the iPads wouldn't be off for very long at night.  I want to turn them off when we close at night, but it's challenging to open the cases and lift the iPads out, so that's not a reasonable option.
    Any thoughts?

    Look for a new case.
    There is varying opinions where it is best to power down electronics overnight or leave them on all the time to lengthen the life of a device.
    I power down to save electricity at night.

  • With lion the windows reopen after the computer sleeps. How do you turn this feature off?

    Is there away to turn off the reopen windows feature

    It is one of the over 250 new features of the World's Most Advanced Operating System called Resume.
    When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
    Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
    If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
    Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
    defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    Press return.
    To turn off Resume globally...
    chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Press return
    The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
    The reverse of the second one is
    chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"

  • How do you turn keyboard backlight off in silverlight?

    HI,
    My settings are for the backlight on my keyboard to go off after 30 seconds of non-use but when I watch films using silverlight, the light won't go off. I have contacted Lovefilm and they gave me instructions for uninstalling then reinstalling but it still won't switch off. Any ideas? It's getting on my nerves big time. Thanks

    Hi esther40,
    If your keyboard backlight isn't dimming on no activity when using Silverlight, you may want to try manually adjusting the backlight in those cases using the F5 and F6 keys. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How do I turn my nano off when holding the pause button does not work?

    my nano won't turn off or take a charge.....Help.

    You know, one good way of putting people off helping you is to post multiple threads with your one problem in it. It's very silly and very tedious.
    Have you checked the thousands of other threads that have discussed this same problem? That would probably be a better use of your time than what you are doing now.

  • How can I turn subtitles on & off when playing an MP4 file?

    I bought an iPad Air two days ago and I am a total newcomer to the Apple community. Some of my Blu-ray and DVD collection has been ripped to MKV files and I have used Handbrake on my PC to create iPad-optimised MP4 conversions of some of these files. On one of these conversions I included an English subtitle track set as the default. On another, I also included an English subtitle track but did not click the Default option in Handbrake.
    Both these MP4 files have now been transferred to my iPad via iTunes. I can play these videos but I cannot find a way to suppress the default subtitles in one case or turn on the non-default subtitles in the other case. I have tried both the standard iPad 'Videos' app and the latest iPad version of VLC but cannot find an on/off switch for subtitles in either app. Am I missing something or do I need a different app?
    BTW, I was surprised to find that loading an MP4 file into my iPad's 'Films' library made it visible to the Videos app but not to VLC. A second copy of each video had to be transferred to the iPad specifically for the use of VLC, which seems like a pointless waste of the limited space on my 64GB iPad. Is this normal or have I misunderstood something?

    I think I figured it out.
    Thanks anyway. p

  • How do you turn on Mail Notifications when Mail is not listed in the INCLUDE or DO NOT INCLUDE list of apps?

    A week ago, the Mail app wouldn't display any messages. After restarting the phone, it still would not display any messages, it would just quit. Then eventually it opened with messages displayed. But then Mail notifications disappeared, and is not even listed in the Notification Center.  How can Mail be "re-listed"?

    I checked some other discussions and doing a reset by holding the power and home button helped the Mail app to appear in the Notifications list again

  • Why does Internet Sharing Turn off when shut down/restart ?

    I've have had my Mac for a few months now and it has gone beyond my expentation it was defenatly a good buy . I was wondering if there is a way to keep Internet sharing on when I shutdown or restart my Macit would stop working. Ive went to bestbuy and tried this out in other macs and the same thing happened when I restart or shut it. Internet sharing would say it is enabled in preferences, but it no longer has the arrow point up. Apple could you please fix this on your next update I use this as a wireless router and it performes well except when I have to uncheck the box enable it again . Thank you

    Your computer has to be ON to be able to use the Internet Sharing settings....

  • How do you get Internet Explorer 9 from shutting down while trying to print from Smart Print button?

    I'm using Internet Explorer 9, and have the latest Smart Print button on my Bing Bar.  When I click on Smart Print to print a page, it lets me go through the entire process of choosing what I want to print, and lets me click on print, which brings me to the print options, but when I click on the final print button, I get a Microsoft error message saying "Internet Explorer has stopped working" message and it closes down my opened page.  How do I print if I keep getting this message?

    Yes, it indeed boggles the mind.  I'm of course referring to the fact that your post concerns Verizon Wireless products and services.  This forum is dedicated exclusively to Verizon Communications services.   As you probably know, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Communications operate as separate companies.
    If you need help for a Verizon wireless product or service, it's best to direct questions to the Verizon Wireless forums.  You can reach them by clicking on "Wireless" (either here or at the top of the page).
    Good luck and I sincerely hope you get your issue resolved.
