Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

Hello folks.  Am new to the community.  Asked a question but didn't go through.
Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac.  I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
It froze up after several hours.  Is it ok to use both together?  I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
stuff is easier on the track pad.
Thanks for your help.

That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

    Help! I have just broken my iPad charger, can I use my iPhone charger instead? What's the difference?

    As far as I know there is no difference, we use the same charger for iphone, ipad, ipod, etc.. and no problem.
    edit:
    There is a statement from Apple that confirms this : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327

    Wrong statement! haha
    Here is a thread regarding this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2397877
    In summary, it'll work, but charging will take more time.

  • Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

    Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

    No. Phones sold by GSM carriers can't access CDMA at all and phones sold by CDMA carriers can only access GSM if they are a) unlocked and b) in an area where there is not CDMA.
    Best of luck.

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync (Outlook or Address Book for example).

    HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
    Does any one know how this can be done.
    thanks

    It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
    The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

  • Can't open LR 3.6 and LR 4.1 at same time.  Normal?

    I have 4.1 and 3.6 installled in their default locations, and have a shortcut for each on my desktop.  I'd like to open both and switch between to easily compare features.   But if I open one, minimize it than try to open the other by clicking on its shortcut,  the first one I opened restores, and the second does not open.  
    Works that way in both directions, that is whether I first open 3.6 or first open 4.1, it is not possible to open the other using its shortcut..
    I can see why Adobe may have done this, but want to confirm that I don't have a glitch in my installation.  Is anyone able to have both versions running simultaneously?

    No, that's impossible.

  • Can't run Firewire 800 Drive and Firewire 400 Camera at same time?

    I just bought a 1TB firewire 800 drive for time machine. Works great. Problem is, when I plug in my Canon DV via firewire at the same time the 800 is connected it doesn't work. I have to unmount the HD, turn it off, and even THEN it wont recognize the DV camera. I have to physically unplug the firewire 800 to get my Canon DV to mount. Amazing. Never had problems with the DV before. Is there some hardware reason why I can't run an 800 and 400 firewire at the same time? Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Some DV cameras won't work with anything else connected to the FireWire bus (the FW400 and FW800 share the same bus)
    ... in particular Canon cameras (Canon firewire implementation) are very sensitive to other firewire devices.

  • Can i use a track pad and mouse at the same time

    can i use a track pad and a mouse at the same time

    If you mean can you have them both connected at the same time, then it's a yes. I have both connected and use the mouse for some functions and the trackpad for others... works a charm.

  • I have FaceTime on my macbook pro but want to add it to my Mac pro.  Since I've already purchased the app, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the app for both computers?  How can I access FaceTime for this computer v. 10.6.8?

    I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8.  Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the same app for both of my computers?  If so, how do I access the app to download it?

    If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
    To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook.  You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection.

  • I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

        dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

  • Just upgraded to Lion, how can i use my microsoft office especially excel.  I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported.  This is a BIG problem.  Help, please.

    Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel.  I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported.  This is a BIG problem.  Help, please.

    Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
    All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
    Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
    Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
    Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
    Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
    Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
    Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
    This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.

  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions.
