Touch pad for imac

Hi,
I'm switching from my tibook to a new imac. Are there third party touch pads available that I could swap out my mouse for?
Thank you, Caoim

A quick Google search (web search engines are your friend) turned up these vendors:

Apple Smart Mouse vs Touch Pad for Aperture, etc.

I switched to an iMac a few years back and really love it. My only "complaint" is that the Smart Mouse (which I really love the functionality of) is a bit too small and no one has deemed it necessary to make a larger one. Every time I go into the Apple Store hoping for a larger version, it is suggested I try the Touch Pad.
So the question is - for those who use the Apple Touch Pad for applications like Aperture, Photoshop/Pixelmator, Nik Software, etc. - how is the control using the Touch Pad vs a mouse? I know that it is fine for "normal" - meaning non-Photographic applications - and I can use all the gestures that I would miss with a normal mouse. (Before you suggest it I have a Wacom tablet, but generally for quick touch ups I just don't bother taking it off the closet shelf.)
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve -- I imagine this is as much a matter of personal preference (and skill) as actual performance. IME, the Magic Mouse is just about the worst pointer to use with Aperture. The Apple touch-pads are (again, just my opinion) excellent. I don't hesitate to recommend that you try one out. There are some touch-pad techniques that may not be obvious: roll your fingertip for minute changes; use one index finger to click, and the other to drag; etc.
I also recommend any high-resolution mouse (generally sold as a "gaming mouse"). I used a Razer Naga until it wasn't updated to work with 10.8; I switched to Logitech's G600 12-button mouse. The programmable buttons accelerate my work, but (imho) high-resolution is the feature you really want. I have my entire dual-monitor workspace mapped to an area about 2" x 4", and can move the mouse curser very close to pixel by pixel.
Both the high-res mouse and the touch-pad are _more_ precise than the Wacom Intuos Medium. In my hands, the cursor regularly moves a pixel or three when I lift the pen. With the touch-pad or the high-res mouse I can work at Image resolutions smaller than 100%. With the Intuos, I am better off at 100%.

After downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

Wireless 10 key pad for imac

I can't believe that Apple does not offer a wireless numeric 10 keypad for the new iMac. Is there another source for this?
Thanks

Hello, this is the only Wifi one I find that doesn't need a USB dongle...

Satellite A300 - touch pad dead after BIOS 2.20 update

Hi,
exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N running Win XP.
i had a problem with the webcam, and i read in the forum that it may be solved by a BIOS update. so i went ahead and downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website specifically for my laptop model. it went completely well with no errors.
however when the computer restarted after the BIOS update my touchpad doesn't work anymore.
i went to the Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "This device is working properly". but its totally dead and will not respond including the 2 buttons. before i updated the BIOS i had never had any problems with it.
Tried FN+F9 to no avail. plugged in a USB mouse and it works with no problems. In fact, when i plugged in the mouse the synaptics software said " Disabling the touch pad due to external pointing device" so the device driver for the touchpad is working.
if i remove the mouse it will say the touch pad is restored but it is still not working. rebooted many times and still the same problem. went into the BIOS and selected "Default" still a no go.
Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
I really need the touch pad for the way i use the laptop...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. i already checked the BIOS setting for "Pointing Devices" and made sure its enabled. its the only setting in there that relates to the touch pad. just to make sure though i disabled it and then rebooted, after which i rebooted again and enabled it to no effect. i know this is not an isolated instance, as my search has turned up some with exactly the same problem. I'm really disappointed with Toshiba.
regards,

Touch Pad doesnt w

Im new here, basically I joined becaues my zen touch pad stopped working and I thought maybe someone on here might have some insight as to how serious of a problem I have. I got my touch pad for Christamas and about a month later the touch pad part of it stopped working. I can still turn it on and off, but I cant controll what songs I listen to because the touch pad doesnt work. I can press the random button and listen to music that way, so I know that the player still works, but the touchpad isnt working. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what was the solution.

<FONT size=7>PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE!
You all have the same problem, ok? The touch pad doesnt work. that means that you shouldnt trust Creative for mp3 players. They dont know what they are doing. They were doing fine with the little scroll joystick. that would last a long time. Scroll pads arent their speciality. Guys, you can just replace it and sell the new one for money to get a different mp3 player from a more reliable company. a company that lets you return you product for your money back. And Firmware updates only update the memory and performance of the player, not the touch pad. That is why the touch Pad doesnt work even if you use fimware upgrades. that is what i wantd to say!!!
Peace Out!!!!

Hp touch pad not turning on

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

I am trying to add a game to my sons I touch pad. It is a free game. It asks for verification of password and credit card info. Every time, it tells me that my time has expired. Help.

It asked me that too.Don't worry and just put it in. Itunes doesn't charge unless your son buys something. The password happens to me all the time. Credit card was only once. Just make sure your son knows not to buy anything without permission so he doesn't accidently charge you something.

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].
