My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini?

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini? The cursor moves a little and then will not respond at all. Gestures do not work

Yes, it's one of the things that can interfere.  Here are some others including airport.  Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

    why won't my magic mouse work on my Mac mini

    You need to provide a lot more information.  Is it new?  Was it paired with another device?

  • Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

    I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
    When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
    Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
    Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

    Hi, marksaner
    You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here. 
    Hope it helps,

  • My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

    Hi,
    I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

    That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
    The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • Magic Trackpad won't work properly

    In the bluetooth preferences my magic trackpad connects, but in the trackpad preferences it doesn't show up. What's going on?!
    I can use basic mouselike functions with my trackpad, but since it won't show up in the trackpad preferences I can't use it do anything "magical". That renders it usesless. (I can use an old-fashioned mouse to do that)
    I'm usig a new iMac (quad core) with system 10.6.8. In the trackpad preference it says "no trackpad found". If I restart the trackpad it can be found, but when I click "continue" it disconnects. Then I go back to the bluetooth preferences to see that it's still connected! Like I said, I can use the most basic functions, but only those basic functions. Very frustrating...
    The batteries are good and I place the trackpad right under the computer monitor to avoid interferrence, etc. Is it possible there's a software glitch somewhere?!

    I'm guessing that, if you don't know what USB Overdrive is, you probably have not installed it. It is not something that comes with your computer. Here is is a link for USB Overdrive:
    http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html
    If you have USB Overdrive installed on your computer you will see it as and icon at the bottom of the "System Preferences" window. If you see it there, you can click on it to open its control window and delete it from there. But like I said, I'm thinking that's probably not your problem. Still, go take a look at the bottom of your system preferences just to make sure.
    I'm wondering, though, if you installed any other software for a mouse, or other type of controller, maybe it would cause similar problems too. Maybe you should check for other things you may have installed (?).

  • My wifi won't work on my mac mini but works on my other devices?

    Ok so I'll try to word this as best as possible. Basically, my family recently got a new wifi network. It works perfectly fine on my iphone, ipad, and all of my family member's macs, phones, and ipads. When I used my mad mini for the first time since getting a new network, the wifi won't work on it. it says i have 3 bars when I am connected to the new network, but when i try to use safari, it won't load. i even tried using chrome so the browser is not the issue. what do i do to fix it? i've already tried restarting my computer and all of that stuff.

    I can't post a screenshot because the internet on my conputer doesn't work. I'll just type it out:
    (Network Name)
    DIsconnect from (Network Name)
    IP Address:
    Router:
    Internet: Reachable

  • Magic trackpad won't work

    My apple wireless trackpad said that it is connected but it wont work. I have changed out the batteries and it still wont work. It all started happening when i put in some other batteries to see if they still worked, then i put in my batteries i just had used and they didnt work.

    Hold power button on TP until it turns off.
    Then turn off your computer.
    Start up your computer, and when you get to the login-screen, turn back on your TrackPad..
    And wait..

  • Magic trackpad won't come on

    I leave my computer on & when I wake it up the magic trackpad won't turn on for about 10 to 15 minutes.  Batteries were changed & computer was turned off & on.  Any suggestions?

    Hello esmeralda724,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Magic Trackpad after waking your computer from sleep. Have you tried clicking the Trackpad in an attempt to wake it up? Check out the following resource for more information:
    Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3887
    9. After my computer starts up or wakes from sleep, when will the wireless devices become active?
    Wireless devices are usually available a few moments after the computer completes the startup process. After waking from sleep, Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard (2009) should be available right away. Other wireless devices can take up to 5 seconds to be recognized when waking from sleep. You may need to click a button on the wireless mouse once or twice to wake it up.
    Some Bluetooth devices—such as audio headsets—may disconnect to conserve the devices battery power after no audio or data is present for a certain amount of time. In such cases, you may need to push a button on the device or headset to make it active again. Check the documentation that came with your device for more information.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.

  • My Pearl keeps restarting and the trackpad won't work!

    My new Pearl 9100 keeps freezing and then restarting on itself. It's super annoying because this happens about every hour. When it restarts the entire trackpad won't work, even the button. The only way I've been able to get it to work again is to restart it until it does! It usually takes about 7 restarts until the entire trackpad will work, then it restarts again.
    Is there any suggests on what I should do? And I'm still on warrenty but Bell said they couldnt do anything about it  

    Have you already tried the following steps to reload your device software ?
    1. Verify that the Desktop Manager and BlackBerry Device Software are installed on the computer.
    2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert.
    3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer.
    4. On the BlackBerry Desktop Manager main screen, click Application Loader.
    5. Click Start.
    6. Click Options to select applications to be installed.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Click Next.
    9. Click Finish.
    10. When the application load starts, re-insert the battery into the BlackBerry.

  • Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

    Hey there,
    I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
    Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.

    Hi bsruff,

  • My Canon LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion

    I've downloaded a driver from Canon, and at someone else's suggetsion, a Canon toolbox, but:  My Canon Scanner LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion.  Any ideas?

    With the scanner driver installed and the scanner connected to the Mac, if you open System Preferences > Print & Scan, is the scanner shown in the list of devices? If not, are you able to add the scanner?
    And if you open Image Capture located in Applications, does this show the 600F in its list and peform a scan if selected?

  • Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro

    Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
    I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
    Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11

    Hi,
    Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's?  A projector is basically an application.  Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles.  When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
    Thanks,
