Magic Trackpad should have some way to attach to the Bluetooth Keyboard
I use a mac mini as an HTPC, and have been waiting for this exact product ever since the mini first came out.
For the life of me, I can't imagine why Apple didn't ship it with some sort of clip mechanism to attach it to the side of the bluetooth keyboard so that the two can be a single "couch friendly" unit.
I guess we'll have to wait for the third parties to step up. The idea of using duct tape and a ruler on the bottom just.... doesn't seem like the Apple way.

You will have to write your own pacman wrapper to do something like that.

I am having problems with my Magic Trackpad. All I can do is move the cursor and single click. I using the most current version of Lion.
In System Preferences > Trackpad > your preferences should look like this screenshot. If they don't then some 3rd party driver is conflicting. The most common conflict is USBoverdrive.

I locked my iphone 4s, I forgot the passcode and it says disabled connect to itunes. I have some very important information on the phone I can't lose, How can I retrieve that information if the phone was not backed up to icloud of my mac? I will go to court over this to prove it is my phone. I just can't lose this information. Please, Please, Please, help me. I will mail the phone in to apple store if that will help.

You can't. If your phone is disabled, the data has already been erased...that's the whole point of the passcode. Your only option now is:
Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?
Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.

When i run Time Machine to back up my computer on to an external hard drive, i have no way of knowing when the back up process has been completed. This is necessary to know because i don't leave my external hard drive connected to the computer. I routinely disconnect it after backing up the hard drive, and then i store the external hard drive in a different location from the computer. So, knowing when the back up process has been completed would be a very helpful thing to have the computer specify.
Just enable Time Machine's menu extra (System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Show Time Machine in menu bar.
This will add a little Time Machine icon to your menubar. When Time Machine is actively backing up your data, the icon will spin as a visual indicator. You can also click the menu icon to see the backup status, including how much data is left to back up. -

I have a 27" desktop mac running with OSX 10.6.8. The bluetooth keyboard started not typing when some of the keys are pressed. Plugged in a wired keyboard, started doing the same thing. When opening up a browser or application, the cursor moves but cannot select anything. Suggestions?
Maybe something in these Apple support articles will help.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks
Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

Periodic Message: You have some checked-out files in the working directory
Hi,
we are recieving a periodic message (appearing every 5 minutes) saying:
"You have some checked-out files in the working directory. We recommend that you check in the files after editing. Click here to checkin the files.
After clicking on the message easyDMS is opened and Private- & Public-Folder are shown.
There are no checked out files on the client.
What happened?
Thanks a lot!
Edited by: B Lobascio on Feb 8, 2011 5:13 PMAfter changing the Working directory in easyDMS preferences the message did not apear anymore.
That means that there have been some some damaged documents in origin working directory.

My iMessage will not register that I have a phone number attached to the account on my mac. It only shows the email addresses. My iPhone and iPad work perfectly.
Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

I changed my data plan yesterday. I should have set it to change at the new month which is tomorrow. can i fix this?
I don't know if they'll be able to change it or not, but it's worth calling Customer Service ASAP (since you indicate your billing cycle starts tomorrow, so that would be midnight tonight) and asking.

my I phone 4 is stolen in Vienna of Austria, unfortunately I have some very important photo inside the phone, would it be possible to use the IMEI no. to check where is the phone now? or you can lock it / delete those information in the phone?
rachel"would it be possible to use the IMEI no. to check where is the phone now?"
No.
"you can lock it / delete those information in the phone?"
No.
Apple can do nothing at all.
If you set up find my iphone and it is on and it has not been restored, then you may be able to track it or wipe it.
Otherwise there is nothing you can do but report it to the police and change your passwords. -
I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set up. The unit is asking me to swith on bluetooth keyboard via pic 1 then pic 2 shows another switch.
I can't see this switch. can anyone help before i launch this thing out the window!Symptoms
When using Setup Assistant to configure your Mac mini or iMac for the first time, the Bluetooth keyboard may have difficulty pairing.
Resolution
Use a wired keyboard to configure the Mac mini or iMac with the Setup Assistant. If a wired keyboard is not available, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Power button until the computer turns off.
Press the Power button to start the computer.
When a language selection appears, press and hold the power key on the Bluetooth keyboard so that the green light is flashing (discoverable mode).
Use the mouse to click the language you would like.
A code should appear on the screen. Enter the code on the Bluetooth keyboard and press Return. Note: No visible feedback appears on the screen while you enter the code.
The computer and the wireless keyboard should now be paired.
