Magic trackpad will not pair

I have OS 10.8.3 with a magic trackpad. I removed USB overdrive and trashed my bluetooth preferences and still I can not get the trackpad to pari. Followed the instructions from this link. It had paired in the past but this morning I lost the device.  I removed it from the bluetooth list and tryed to re-connect.  Nothing appears to work. This trackpad works on my iMac, so it is a know good device. (I have since un-paired it fromt eh iMac)
Any help would be great.

I found I had the same problem... Was your trackpad hooked up to different computer in the past?  Mine was, after I removed it from my old computer, it worked fine....

  • Magic Mouse will not pair (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

    All of a sudden my Magic Mouse will not pair. Very annoying!
    I have changed the batteries, several times, so the light is on on the Magic Mouse.
    I have opened System Preference/Bluetooth. I can see that it is searching for devices but it is not connecting to the Magic Mouse.
    I currently have a Apple Wireless Keyboard and have paired an Ultrathin Touch Mouse in the interim, but I want my Magic Mouse back.
    Can someone please help (in a language that I can understand) with this issue.
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers

    Try a PRAM and SMC reset of your Mac.
    You may need to use an Apple Wired Keyboard to perform the PRAM reset.

  • My magic trackpad will not work (at all) in Parallels (W7)

    The trackpad works beautifully on my Intel iMac (Lion) 10.7.2, but will not work at all under Windows 7 on Parallels. All latest updates of everything to my knowledge.
    I find no notes on this either on the Parallels site or here. Am i the only one in the universe having this problem. To be clear, there is no response from the pad whatever - nada, bupkis.
    Maybe I have to pair it manually with Windows? That seems odd since everything else works fine that is connected to the iMac.
    Tips, hunches, soothing words?
    Thanks!

    If you downloaded and installed the Windows support software in accordance with the instructions, you now have a diamond shaped icon in the Windows task bar. Clicking this icon opens the Bootcamp control panel where all your trackpad settings can be configured.

  • Magic Trackpad is not pairing with my Mac Pro

    Hello.
    I just got a new Mac. It worked with the trackpad for a while, but then I picked up the trackpad and I was holding down the side button without knowing it. It lost connection with the Mac and now I cannot re-connect it.
    I have no idea if it is turned on or off.
    Also, when I go to Bluetooth and delete and re-add it as a device, the Mac can see it (which means that it is on), but it fails to pair every time. I've tried this 5 or 6 times.
    I rebooted the Mac, and I even deleted the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file and started from scratch. It still sees the device but refuses to pair.
    Help!!

    Try these in this order to see if one of them fixes your problems: (1) SMC reset, (2) PRAM reset, and (3) reset BT to factory settings.  Re-pair after doing these of course.

  • Magic Mouse will not pair

    I have installed fresh batteries, tried repeatedly to connect via BT with no results. I get the no mouse found message. It had been working great until I booted up from OS10.4 on another drive. Suggestions please? My DLink BT module is lit, then goes out.

    Also, I checked the Console when the pair failed and got this message:
    11/11/11 11:05:01.640 AM Bluetooth Setup Assistant: Pairing failed with 'Dirty Mouse': error 0x22

  • 10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now

    10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now
    anyone else having this problem
    mouse works... is recognized but the preference pane
    has not swipe selection and i cannot turn off bluetooth

    To resolve this issue try the following:
    from the upper left corner of your screen click:
    1.  / system preferences / bluetooth
    2. Locate your mouse under the devices panel
    3. Remove your mouse
    Click on it so it is highlighted in blue
    Click in the blue "x" or you can click delete after you have selected your mouse.
    4. Reconnect your mouse (re "pair" ) your mouse
    This should resolve the scrolling issue if it occurred after the 10.10.1 update.

  • My trackpad will not connect to my mac

    My TrackPad will not connect to my iMac.  It used to work fine (via Bluetooth) then one day it stopped.  I changed out the batteries but still can not get it to re-connect.  The green light on the TrackPad flashes two (2) quick blinks.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey there, my iMac has had this problem for the last week or so. I have tried the folowing solutions:
    Reset PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Removed device and paired it again
    Changed batteries
    The only way it reconnects is if I hold the power button on the MTP until it flashes, shortly after it pairs again. In subsequent restarts there are no pairing issues. Strange thing is if I then leave the iMac for a day or so and start it up, it will not pair with the MTP causing me to take the above mentioned action.
    This is a problem that has only occured after the most recent 10.9.3 update was installed. This leads me to believe it is a problem related to the update. Does anyone here have a permanent solution to this problem?

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

  • 10.6 client will not 'Pair' to 10.5.8 Xserve

    I am running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 on an Xserve (intel).
    I have setup a brand new user who is running as a Mac OS X 10.6.4 client (new Mac)
    Under the users account settings on the Mac (System Preferences > Accounts), the 'server account' option appears but will not accept the password / will not 'Pair'.
    I have tried the following on the Xserve:
    Delete user
    Change user password
    Check user services
    I have tried the following on the User's Mac:
    server user short name
    server user full name
    retyped password
    upper and lowercase
    The user can connect to the Xserve's shares with no problem in the Finder using the given username and password (the same as their Mac user account), however I would also like them to be able to use the Open Directory services on the server (initially Time Machine).
    Nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem on the Xserve. Is there a trick to make it work?
    I would like to get this working soon as the user is now falling short of their Time Machine backups!

    We have this working without any problems (on a LAN with one subnet). Try add a new account on another machine for that user and log on from there. Also try the converse - add an account that you know works on the client machine that will not connect.

  • Trackpad will not scroll imac

    I bought a new iMac last year and was busy so I didn't use it much. Along with a trackpad and a wireless mouse. The mouse works as expected however the trackpad will not scroll a Safari Window.
    It will scroll when connected to my 5 year old Macbook. I took the trackpad to an Apple store and it worked fine on the geniuses laptop there.
    It just doesn't scroll a windwo on my iMac. I have experimented with the settings endlessly but it just doesn't scroll. I tried calling tech support and they said take it to the apple store which I did. I just now noticed that in a safari window the slide bar disappears when I use the trackpad. but reappears wheh I use the mouse.
    I  hope I don't have to lug the entire computer back to the Apple store. It seems like a software issue to me. Any suggestions welcomed here.

    how do you try to scroll ?
    some people are used to trackpads scrolling when they move their finger out in the right side or the likes
    with newer macs one scroll by placing 2 fingers beside eachother and moving them up and down

  • Bluetooth will not pair with Moto Droid4

    My Droid4 has will not pair with either my "Verzion" Jabra VBT-4050 nor my Jawbone Icon.  Both these earpieces paired with this phone before, but will not now.
    Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks...Andy

        westa510b,
    That can certainly be confusing since it previously paired just fine with your device. We will be happy to take a closer look at this matter with you. Have you attempted to reboot the device? Tried deleting the bluetooth connection from the device, then re-establishing connection? Any changes recently to the devices software or additions of an application when you first noticed this issue began?

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,
