Magic Trackpad worked with 10.5.8

So the trackpad is not magic at all!? Does not work with 10.5.8 (even though the at the apple store where I bought it they told me it works!) Well it does but only to point and click...no scroll no gestures. Anyone any tips what to do with it or just take it back and get a refund!?

Hi,
Take it back and get a refund !
OSx Snow Leopard 10.6.4 is clearly stated as the minimum OSX requirement for the Magic Trackpad.
Maybe the Apple Store person got confused with the Magic Mouse which fully works with 10.5.8

  • Magic Trackpad works with one iMac ..not another?

    I have both an earlier Intel iMac and a 27", i5 iMac .. the Magic trackpad is a wonder. I love it, but I have lost contact with my 27" ... there seems to be nothing I can do for it to make contact?!   I've done all sorts of fixes, but neither Bluetooth nor the trackpad window in the Sys. Prefs will see it.
    I have read references to people saying; "Make it a favorite."  I do not know what that means, nor how to do it.   I was just going to buy another Trackpad, but this works fine with my intel iMac.  As soon as I walk in the other room - I can use it. 
    I'd appreciate a little advice.  Thanks.
    Jim

    Jim,
    The trackpad can be paired with multiple machines but Connected to only one.  When it's connected the other machine will ignore it and even refuse to pair.
    If the macs are in seperate rooms at least 33 ft way you can do it by powering off the trackpad (this will disconnect from mac1), walk to the other room and power on. Mac2 should grab it.  If your too close it's possible Mac 1 will grab it again.

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • An Idea: How to make the Magic Timeline work with Tracks

    i have thought about this for a title and i think i have found a solution. the magic timeline is pretty cool but with it we lost tracks. for broadcast (not only for that but mostly for it) you need tracks that are assignt in a special way and there is no way around it. so i came up with the following idea…
    to make the magic timeline work with tracks it will be a like an audio compound clip, that will give you full access to the magic time. but it can be outputted to proper tracks assignment.
    current audio compound clips don't show you the video if there is one. this one will. also audio can be tagged to a track so it will automatically drop into the right track. you can of course move the audio from one track to another. moving the clip to another track will auto change the tag to new track. if you copy an audio clip from one track to another, the original clip will keep its tag but the copied one gets the new tag.
    example…
    you do a voice over with all your edits and stuff. then you collapse it to a track (new name to get rid of any sort of confusion). you can tag/name the track to "voice over" or whatever you want and color label it.
    you need to edit, adjust it? no problem! double click it and it will open up and you'll see the magic timeline. edit till you done and click on arrow to return to track view.
    export your movie with proper tracks for broadcast right out of final cut pro x
    in the end your output timeline looks like a timeline from fcp7 before you output it on tape.
    could this work? i believe it could and it would help to make fcpx ready for broadcast.
    i hope this makes some sort of sense to you
    anyway, i hope apple will include this or something like this in an update for fcpx.

    You may be able to get by with just running MDT 2010 for now. *However* you *must* ensure that you are running WinPE 3.1 or greater, If you are unsure, open up a command prompt in WinPE (PRess F8), and run "ver" it should say build 7601 or greater, 7600
    and less is not compatible.
    When done, Run the Dell Advanced Format tool in the Full OS on a deployed machine to verify:  http://del.ly/afhdd  Although it is possible to install an OS on an Advanced Format Drive
    with WInPE 3.0 or earlier, and it may *appear* to work, performance may suffer. The Dell AF tool should tell you if the sectors are aligned properly.
    Additionally, it is also possible that the storage driver you have installed in your image is incompatible with AF drives. Check the Make/Model and check with the Hardware Mfg to see if they have driver that supports AF drives.

  • Magic Trackpad pairs with Bootcamp (Win7) MBP instead of another MBP w/Yosemite?

    I've 2 MBP's - a Yosemite MBP and one running Win7 via Bootcamp. When the Yosemite MBP is off, the Magic Trackpad pairs with the old MBP (Win7/Bootcamp). I see no clear way to disable this pairing in Win7/Bootcamp or a clear way to disable Bluetooth on the Bootcamp/Win7 MBP either. I can shut down the Win7/Bootcamp PC, but this gets old very quick, as I tend to carry my Yosemite MBP w/me at the end of the day.
    Any suggestions from the Mac Geniuses? Thank you.
    Martin

    Based on the multiple issues, I think I would reinstall OS X 10.10 from the recovery disk (your data is untouched). As always though, make a good backup before doing anything (I use Time Machine and I also make a bootable clone).

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Magic Trackpad issue with Windows 7 Boot Camp

    Hi, I just cannot get the the magic trackpad to work with bootcamp in indows 7.
    1) is it compatible?
    2) I have already updated bootcamp to the latest version, installed driver software. It detected the trackpad once and worked but than on reboot just does not work, and also now cannot detect it. Works fine in Mac OSX. Any help is appreciated.

    I came across this problem today after buying a Magic Trackpad to replace my dying macbook laptop pad - all of the symptoms above. First I added a USB mac mouse, which at least gave me some control! Then I got a lucky break when the laptop discovered the Trackpad (it did it 1/4 times roughly), I quickly double clicked the icon for the 'wireless mouse' it thought the device was. This kicked off Windows 7 retrieving a driver from the web for the actual device (Magic Trackpad), just the same as the process for adding a Mac USB mouse to the Windows environment. I now have it working fine - although it seems I still have the same problem that inspired me to buy the new pad (left click in Minecraft just keeps going on its own, sometimes stoppable with a second click but destructive in the meantime ;-). May be a Minecraft problem, everything else works fine. Now I have a mouse, a half working pad on the laptop, and a working Magic Trackpad. Recipe for some hardware confusion.

  • Magic Trackpad compatibility with old MacBook

    I have MacBook White Early 2009 Model, with solid-state scrolling trackpad (trackpad with one button), running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    I want to know whether Magic Trackpad will be compitable with my MacBook.
    Will it support 3 and 4 finger gestures?

    The System Requirements for the Magic Trackpad are
    Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
    Two AA batteries (included)
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 or later
    http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/
    and nothing more.
    So, your MacBook should work with it.

  • Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?

    My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.

    I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
    Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
    Good luck!

  • Does the Magic Mouse work with Macbook pros?

    I've read on a website that the Magic Mouse only works with the iMacs they ship with.
    So, no Macbooks?
    Can someone confirm this?

    I just got my magic mouse and it indeed does work with my 2.8ghz MBP.
    HOWEVER, none of the scrolling features seem to work. The mouse connected to my bluetooth without any problems, it left and right clicks fine but zero touch surface scrolling seems to work.
    Tried reconnecting, on/off, computer restart etc. and no love from the magic mouse whatsoever.
    I'm all ears for any solutions.

  • Does the new magic trackpad comes with the Force Touch

    Hi
    I want buy a new magic trackpad and I wonder does it come with the new "Force Touch" that has been recently introduced to a new MacBook? 
    Thanks
    Save13

    According to the article, there is no stand-alone trackpad with that new feature available at this time:
    It makes some sense to imagine Apple will introduce support for Force Touch inside future versions of its $69 Magic Trackpad at some point. It is also likely Force Touch will be rolled out in future iOS devices.
    And, according to the store page, they are still selling the regular trackpad (no mention of a new one):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC380LL/A/magic-trackpad?fnode=b9d707c7e9fd32a ce6fa1d54bdea066635028c206a143a27ea39de2…

  • Will the Magic Mouse Work with the new iPad?

    I know it can work with the wireless keyboard.... but will it work with the mighty mouse?

    You could argue that the iPad doesn't have a use for an external keyboard either. Yet it supports one. And truth be told this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons having optional mouse support would be nice.
    You see when typing on an external keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad. This gets tiring rather quickly. Ironically this is the very reason Steve Jobs argued that touchscreens don't work for notebook computers. A mouse would be more ergonomically sound in this situation. Also the method for selecting text with your finger kind of slow.
    As for the lack of a mouse cursor.... as unsanctioned software tweaks have proven, one could easily be added while the mouse is connected.

  • Why does only my magic mouse work with 10.6.8 update?!!!

    Hi. Ever since updating my software to 10.6.8, the ONLY mouse I can use is the Magic Mouse - ANYTHING ELSE I try and use, wireless or not, will cause my computer to crash. I get asked to turn it off and back on. As soon as I try another mouse, I get a black curtain go down my screen and the message comes up. I have been getting these Kernal Panic things also when I start up with another mouse connected. I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! And now I am being forced to use it. Is Apple serious about this? It's ridiculous. I can't work properly with this mouse. HELP!!!!! Is there going to be any fix?

    If your HP is networked and using Bonjour as a protocol, then the 10.6.8 update made some changes to the core backend services such as Bonjour and this could be causing the error. With the job in error in the print queue, you can highlight the job (click once to select it) and then press the Job Info button (the blue circle with the white I inside). Doing this will give more information about the problem. You can post that information back here so we can advise what steps to take next.
    If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB then you may just need to remove the existing print queue, by opening Print & Fax and selecting the HP and then pressing the minus button. With the queue removed you can then click the plus button to add the queue again, selecting the HP in the Default Add Printer view.

  • Will  a Magic mouse work with a Ipad?

    I was told you can pair a magic mouse with a ipad! Tried to sync , but it won't work. Someone else told me you have to jailbreak the ipad. Is this the only way?

    To do what?
    There is no cursor to move around on the iPad.
