Previously working Apple Track pad cannot be "found" by Mac Mini
First I tried replacing the batteries. Both placed in the chute, negative side down. ( positives meet negatives)
Is this right?
--- if so, other ideas why I'm not connecting?
Apple Wireless Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad: How to install batteries - Apple Support
Or see the manual.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
Are the old batteries dirty?
Do they have residue from leakage? That can stop the contacts working.

I want to buy an apple product (the apple track pad) but my computer is a dell and it's software is windows 7. If I bought the track pad would I be able to use it on my windows pc? And is it easy to set up?
A quick Google turned up this suggestion.
Have you considered the Logitech Touchpad? -
I cannot get the new mac mini to wake from sleep and trigger the displays - this is the second mac mini I have had and both have had the same issues. It worked before on my macbook extremely well...
Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt
Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?BUMP.
I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps? -
hello please help me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you
I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

I have an apple wired keyboard hooked up to my Mac mini. A while ago, the keyboard stopped working. I tried re plugging it in, and nothing's working. The "Bluetooth settings" keeps popping up, but I don't have Bluetooth, it's wired. Please help!
System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini late 2012 USB slot but nothing shows up on the screen.
I have OS X versus 10.10.3The system bus and all connected products should appear in the system profile or in the
hardware part of About this Mac (more info) and if that does not, restart the computer with
the external Apple USB SuperDrive plugged in. •As a last resort, if nothing else, before a
return trip to be rid of the SuperDrive, you could try a system management controller reset.
The SMC reset is not a first choice, so I won't post a link to the support instruction page.
A new Apple USB SuperDrive should be seen as hardware in system information report.
Of course, an icon of disc media should appear once the disc is inserted into the drive, too.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system? Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

Does PSE 13 work with track pad? (PSE 12 does not)?
I am considering upgrading to PSE 13 but with PSE12 there is a serious problem with the track pad. It does not work with Yosemite and PSE 12. Get spinning ball and cannot use many tools like quick select, lasso etc.
I have to use the mouse. There has been discussion on this forum and hopefully a bug report has gone in to Apple or Adobe whoever is responsible.
SO here is my question. Has PSE 13 been tested to determine if track pad works? Many Mac users have portables and do NOT want to have to carry around a mouse.
I am not going to spend to upgrade to 13 if the track pad problem is present in that version.The issue with trackpad does not exist in Elements 13.
You can download the trial before you buy and give it a try.

HT201210 apple TV "device cannot be found"
I updated my apple TV to find that it needed to be "restored" on itunes. When I plug it in to itunes the apple TV tab opens but then I get error message saying "device cannot be found" - any suggestions? thanks.
See if this helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4488. Otherwise, you might want to post your question over in the Apple TV forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/appletv/appletv?view=discussions (this is the iPhone forum).

Apple Track Pad vs. Magic Mouse?
I have been using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard ever since getting my Intel iMac 24 back in late 2006. When I got it, I also continued to use my MS Wireless Lazer 5000 mouse as well. In mid year 2010 I got a macbook and also a Magic Mouse which I use exclusively with the laptop over using the on-board track pad.
Recently, I have a need to replace the lazer mouse due to mechanical problems and am wondering what sort of feedback has been coming in regarding the newer Wireless Track Pad and whether or not users still have use for the magic mouse and/or the track pad and vice versa. I'd buy another magic mouse for the iMac as the one I currently own is set up to be used on the road in my vehicle with the laptop. In replacing my lazer mouse I just would like to know the feedback regarding the newer track pad. Thank you in advance!Thanks to everyone for their responses.
Unfortunately, my laser mouse died, and I replaced it with the TrackPad hoping to upgrade without the need for another mouse. Although I like most features of the trackpad, like for my MacBook, I find the need for a mouse to add to the onboard track pad.
Same thing applies for the iMac, the trackpad works for most applications, but I got a wireless mouse again. So I find that I use both.
Thanks again to everyone who responded! -
My keypad and track pad cannot be detected by my iMac... So no way of login in or doing anything?
When turning only iMac, neither the keyboard or the track pad or recognised. This has started to happen a lot. Sometimes they are and sometimes not.
When they are not recognised I have no way of logging into the computer... I have tried all the obvious things changed the batteries etc... Thata all I can do at the moment as I cannot do anything else as I cannot access my system???You need to buy a wired keyboard, almost all of them are Mac compatible, get a wired mouse as well and your problem should be solved.

Apple track pad very slow connecting after sleep
I have a late 2009 iMac (11,1) running10.10.1. It is very slow (5 to 35 seconds) connecting to my Apple trackpad whether I am logged in when I put the iMac to sleep or whether no one is logged in. I have run EtreCheck and am including the output. I would appreciate anyone offering advice on what to do to get my trackpad to connect quickly.
Thanks,
Hugh McCutchen, Jr.

Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping. Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.
No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.
