Why can't I use my MagicMouse and my track pad on my MacBook Pro 17" simultaneously?

I bought my son a new MacBook Pro and I now have his older one (2008). It still works like it was brand new but I found out, as I was personalizing it that the Magic Mouse and track pad won't work simultaneously. It's either one or the other. I have a 15" MacBook Pro about the same age and I can use them both together. Is there a setting somewhere within the system preferences?

3-D is very memory intensive.
System requirements | Photoshop
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

Why can't I use paypal? And if I can't use paypal why do you list it?

I suspect it is a case of different rules in different regions. Here in the UK I have a choice of Visa, MasterCard, Amex, ClickandBuy (who they?), Maestro and None... Where are you seeing PayPal advertised as an option?

Can I use the mouse and the track pad at the same time?

I'm not comfortable with the track pad yet - can I use a mouse and the track pad simultaneously?

Yes, both can be used simultaneously.

Can I hook use an older iMac as an display for my Macbook Pro?

Can I use an older iMac as an display for my Macbook Pro? The Macbook Pro has the Mini display port and the iMac has the older (larger) display port. I am trying to have a document open on the iMac while writing a paper on the Macbook Pro.
Thank you for your time.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can use the Mid 2011 iMac as a display for your 2011 MacBook Pro. Both have Thunderbolt, so you won't have any problem > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Can iPhone be used as a remote mouse track pad?

I know the iPhone can be used as a remote control for Apple TV etc but I wondered if it could also be customised into a remote trackpad. I am about to buy a Mac Mini to use as a media server as I have lots of media that won't fit nicely into Front Row. As a result, I'll have to use a mouse and keyboard, which would be a pain. If the iPhone could be configured into a remote trackpad, that'd solve many a problem.

I am getting electric current type shocks whilst using my track pad on my macbook pro. This happens when it is both plugged in to charge and also unplugged. I am left with a constant type pain of prickly pins and needles even when I am not using it.

I have recently bought a Macbook pro and have noticed that I am getting an electric current running up my fingers when using the track pad. This happens when it is charging but most worryingly it happens when it is not plugged in. It leaves me with pins and needles type feeling in my hand and arm even when I am not using it. Also when I sit it on my lap I get the same electrical current in my legs and down to my feet.
Surely this cannot be what I should expect with an apple product?, has anyone else experienced this?.
Yesterday I couldn't bare to use it the current was so strong. I went out for the rest of the day and suffered with pins and prickly needles all day.

Two possible courses of action suggest themselves:
(1) Return your computer immediately to point of purchase and/or authorized service provider.
or
(2) Consult with your doctor about your neurological symptoms.

Why can't Premiere CC Handle 1 adjustment layer on my late 2013 macbook pro?

I have a maxed out 15" late 2013 macbook pro with 16GB ram and the NVIDIA GT 750M graphics card + Intel Iris Pro.
I'm editing DSLR footage. When I make an adjustment layer or add a simple color correction, or a LUT through the lumetri effect, the footage plays back at 2 frames per second unless I go through a very slow render every time I add a clip (regardless of whether I select the mercury playback engine in CUDA or OpenCL when creating the project)
I'm pretty sure my sequence settings are correct, I have 13GB of ram going to Premiere CC.
I know that my computer and the software should be faster than this. What am I doing wrong, and what settings do I have wrong? Very frustrating.
Also, no matter what settings I select for my sequences (even the straight up DSLR 1080p presets), when I add a clip in the timeline I have a yellow render bar on top. Shouldn't there be no colored bar if I'm just simply adding a clip with matching properties and sequence settings?
Tell me what I'm doing wrong, guys. Thanks for any advice you can spare.

Thank Ann,
Set Up: Macbook pro, running footage and all project files off of a USB3 7200rpm drive.
Specs:
Late 2013 Macbook Pro

Source Footage: 1080p 24p DSLR footage from a 7D.
Sequence settings attached in photo. Is there any other info you need?

Why can I not upload any images from my iPhone 4 to my Macbook Pro? Please help!

Hi all,
I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
Thank you!

I am assuming it's not a problem with the iPhone has I have tried several iPhones and had the same problem.

The track pad on my MacBook Pro is going crazy what can I do?

Yesterday I tried using my Mac book pro when I noticed that my track pad wasn't working it would either move really slow or not at all and then when it does move it goes all crazy and starts moving or clicking things with out me doing anything what can I do two days ago it was working fine and I have tried cleaning the track pad

The same happend to me, you need to call applecare or take it to the genius bar to have the trackpad swapped out. I hope you have applecare becuase the unibody macbooks will need the whole bottom chassis replacing which can be pricey.
Just a quick fix (it will only work for around 30 mins each time) untill you can take it in. Press all four corners of the trackpad down hard (without breaking it) then let go. Your trackpad should work for a short while.

Why can't I use the Average and Join commands in an action?

Something I do a hundred times a day is select two endpoints, average them, and join them. I tried to make an action and map it to an Fkey, but Illustrator won't allow the Average or Join commands in an action. When I tried using the Insert Menu Command, it made Illustrator crash. Finally I managed to do it without Illustrator crashing, but there is then no way to hit "OK" in the Average dialog box via the Actions palette. Why is this apparently impossible?

You have to use Actions Palette Flyout menu >> insert menu item to get those menu items reocorded.
To get action to stop crashing you need to Actions Palette Flyout menu >> Playback Options >> 1 sec or greater.
There already are keyboard commands CMD J & OPT CMD J for these. Unfotunately you cannot record for example the next menu choice step such as BOTH. A script likely could be written for this though, and you can try posting in the Illustrator scripting forum.

Why can't I use a Vision+ and a YouView Box

Hi,
I'm with BT and pay £5 a month for BT Vision. I have their YouView box in one room. They only allow BT Sport on the YouView box if you have fibre and there's no fibre in my area. I asked BT if I could run a YouView box and BT Vision box at the same time and they said no. I ordered a BT Vision Card for a tenner via the online BT shop and bought a BT Vision+ box off eBay for 99p. My assumption was that I couldn't run both boxes at the same time (ie connected to the hub)......not a problem I can only watch one TV at a time!
I've disconnected the YouView from the BT Hub and connected the Vision+ Box but I get a C03 message saying my Vision+ isn't activated. Am I right in thinking BT must be able to activate one of two Vision services depending on the box? My initial assumption was that only one box could physically be connect at any one time.
Has anyone else experienced similar? Is there any way around this? Seems unfair as I am a BT Vision customer, I am paying £5 a month and if I want to watch BT Sport I have to give up my YouView box. BT say I can watch their channel via the web.....not being funny but a simple google search and I could watch their channel without even needing to sign up!!!!!
Thanks
Louis

It sounds like the 99p BT Vision+ box is running the Classic software rather than the New Look software. This is something you really should have checked before buying a second hand box. Once such boxes are deactivated they are effectively a door-stop unless BT choose to reactivate them. The box would need to be reactivated and then BT would need to send the New Look software upgrade to it in order for you to be able to use the viewing card for BT Sport.
I don't know, but suspect that BT would be reluctant to activate and upgrade a box that wasn't issued to you directly by them. They have been gradually turning off the Classic software over the last year or so and it involves older licensing agreements with Microsoft and content providers. Plus it might cause the central system problems now that you have a newer BT Youview box associated with your account. I suppose there's no harm in asking though?
