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?

    It is however mostly just links some of them very old.
    Reset the TC to factory and start again.. make sure you have ipv6 set to link local only on wireless at least .. as well as ethernet if you use it.
    No luck do a fully manual setup..

    No, you are not.  Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data.  Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock.  I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person.

  • Trackpad will not select user after Mac restart

    Trackpad works fine normally but after restart of Mac, will not click on user (cursor moves over it) so I have to use a mouse to click & enter password.  All software is up to date.  Any ideas.

    The following was suggested on another thread but I've tried it & it doesn't solve the issue:
    System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click
    Tap to click
    Secondary click
    Uncheck the boxes to it  if they are checked and recheck them back.
    Any other ideas?

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect with my mac pro

    hey, so i have an iphone 4s with the latest update iOS7.1 and a macbok pro which is also up to date with itunes 11.1.5. The entire time ive had this computer and this phone all i had to do was connect the two via USB and my computer recognized my phone as well as itunes and proceeded to sync all my things automattically sometimes it would do it even if the devices werent connected but even if they were close in proximity they would connect, no problem. BUT now it will not do that when i connect it via usb neither one recognized that they are connected my phone will charge but thats about it, every once and a blue moon my phone will recognize the computer and ask if the computer is trusted to which i select "trust" and then it tells me its unable to connect but that barely happens most of the time nothing. Ive tried the typical restarting my computer, restarting itunes, searching for updates but its not just itunes that doesnt recognize my phone its my whole computer it seems, what could have happened to make these two devices unable to connect? how do i fix it?

  • My Canon HD CMOS will not connect to my mac. Any suggestions?

    I have been removing my videos and photos from my Canon HD CMOS via connecting the USB and going directly into the device once it is recognized. I would copy and paste from there.
    However, recently, the computer (MacBook) does not recognize the camera and nothing happens - although the camcorder reads PC Connect.
    Any suggestions for how to get the computer to re-recognize the camcorder.
    Cheers,

    I wonder if the roku changed some other settings in your router or pad.
    Recycle the router.  Thurn it off for a while, then restart.
    On the pad, forget your exiting network.  This will cause it to search for avaialbe, and reset again.  You will likely need to redo any password/ security entry.
    Lastly, in settings, general, reset network connections.  You will not lose anything.

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • My new iPad 32G will not connect to my mac Mini using WiFi. Any suggestions for a solution?

    Happy New Year,
    I am attempting to get Facetime on my new Mac Mini to connect to Facetime on my new iPad 32 G through my WiFi router. It rings on the iPad but after clicking on Accept, all it does is try to connect with no success. I have tried to reverse the order of the connection (iPad to the Mac Mini) but no success. The problem seems to be with the Mac Mini as I have been able to connect my iPad Facetime to my local authorized Apple dealer Facetime software both ways (i.e.I have connected with them and they have been able to connect with me.) Has anyone got any suggestions to resolve my problem?

  • My iphone will not connect to my mac when i plug it in. ???

    When I plug in my iphone to my mac, it does not show up in itunes.  Why won't my mac see it?

    I'm suddenly having a similar problem: I'm running Mac OS 10.7.3, iTunes 10.5.3 and iOS 5.0.1. When I plug in my iPhone, system.log reports:
    Feb 18 16:29:51 lianaslaptop com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.usbmuxd[685]): posix_spawn("/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/ A/Resources/usbmuxd", ...): No such file or directory

    When I go to that location, sure enough - there is no usbmuxd. I haven't been messing with my system, I've never poked around in places like this!

  • IPod nano 3g will not connect to my Mac Pro.

    I have already tried different ports, cables, and all software is up to date.  I have also restored the iPod several times.  I plug it in, the iPod says it is connected, but it never shows up in iTunes or Finder.  Then the iPod says it is disconnecting.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.  This should help mount your iPod as an external drive on your Mac.

    From there, try reformatting the iPod using Disk Utility using the instructions on this page.

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
