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.

HT3211 What is best track pad for laptop pro

What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.

Using track pad on iMac

Hi
I have just bought a track pad for my iMac. Pleased with it but not sure about one thing, is it possible to do a double tap on pad to pick things up and move them like the windows or a files? I find pressing down hard on the track pad to move things is quite difficult and you can do a double tap and hold your finger down on a Mac book pro.
Thanks for any help

Gramps,
I haven't tried a "safe boot" but overnight I disconnected my ScanSnap S1500M, and two external firewire drives, a G-tech and a LaCie. The problem appears to have gone away for now. When I figure out which peripheral is causing the problem I'll be able to deal with it. Fujitsu just issued an update on the scanner (I had the problem before the update) so I'll see if the drives can be updated.
I'll also try the safe boot. I might have more than one problem.
Thanks to all for taking time to help, I may be back.

What about track pad for the "OLD" tour

can you put track pad on the "OLD" TOUR? is it better than ball

4.5. Yikes. I feel dirty even reading about it ;-)
Um, I only ever used 4.5 for about my first six months as a dev... CF5 came out then and we jumped to it as soon as we could.
I googled CF "An error occurred while attempting to establish a connection to the server" and came up with this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/server_archive/articles/cf_timeouts_and_unresponsive_requests. html
So it sounds like the error is a symptom of a CF restart after too many timed-out requests?

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:

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...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a stable, Billing/Invoicing/Time Management software application for the iMAC, OS X 10.3.9?
I have been told that QuickBooks is the way to go, others (Apple Store) indicated MYOB--are there any others and which is the best alternative?
Thanks for your suggestions,

Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

Hello folks. Am new to the community. Asked a question but didn't go through.
Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac. I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
It froze up after several hours. Is it ok to use both together? I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
stuff is easier on the track pad.
Thanks for your help.

That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

Access to track pad panel in System preference is impossible

I have a magic track pad on iMac.its works correctly,but when I try to change setting of track pad in system pereferenc, after clicking of track pad icon, the window closed and nothing appeared for change.what should I do?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (System Preferences) in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Track pad is going crazy

I have been using track pad for my iMac for several years, but just recently, it has been going crazy by operating erratically so it's no longer usable. I looked up the apple community and I am not the only one. Also, there seems to be no solution posted. Should we just expect the life cycle of track pad to be just couple of years?

I went into the Apple store and explained the problems with the track pad. I also asked the employee to connect my track pad to the new iMac on display. My track pad behaved erractically as usual and the guy spoke with the one of the Genius' at the bar and they told me they would repalce the track pad as one time thing. This is why Apple is so awesome. I can not think of any other company that would do this after the warranty period is over. Thanks Apple!

Can i use track pad and mouse when using two displays

I have a second display I wonder if I can use my mouse for the other display and my track pad for my macbook pro.
if not what will be the solution.
ps: my second display is a tv.

Although Apple has enabled multiple Finder and Dock display functionality as an option within Mission Control preferences, there is no means to assign pointing devices to different displays.
I have two Apple devices: Magic Trackpad and Mouse. One mouse pointer is allocated to both devices regardless which screen I am using. That's the way it is.

Magic Track pad issue

I have been using the magic track pad for about a 9 months with no issues
however over the last couple of months I've had this problem.
Whenever I'm watching a online video and the quality is not good enough
to go full screen I use the the 2 finger zoom gesture on the
track pad to zoom in to were the video is of acceptable size and quality.
However when I do this I can no longer control the video if I click on the
video controls or progress bar nothing happens and I have to
zoom back out to its original size before I can pause, rewind or fast
forward, can anyone help resolve this cheers.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Track pad not responding to finger click

I recently got a Macbook Air and tried using the track pad for the standard finger click options however it doesn't work/respond.
Viewed the "how to demo" fromt eh track pad options, tried those and it is still not reponding.
I used to have an old Macbook in which i enabled the finger click and worked fine.
Is there a set up that I don't know about?
Thanks for your help in advance.

What OS are you using. Your profile shows IOS 5 but that is for an iPhone or iPad.
