    Apple trackpad problems with El Capitan

    I recently upgraded OS to 10.11.6 on my 2009 Mac Pro and have had problems with my Apple magic trackpad. It seems to intermittently drop and recover connection and also appears to lag in response to input. Often it will respond in a jerky way that causes me to overshoot or undershoot my target...

    External Keyboard & Trackpad/Mouse Needed—6 Potential Setups, What's the Best?

    I'm a long-time MBP 15" user who wants to work less with the notebook itself but more with an external keyboard and screen. One thing I realize is that I am way slower with the combination external keyboard and a dirt-cheap mouse. Before I could move both hands from my internal keyboard to the...

    How to install OS with keyboard

    I'm needing to wipe my computer and basically get it ready to sell, and so I've managed to wipe the disc.

    Confused about MB Pro 2015 Trackpad

    Hello Everyone, My normal laptop is a high spec MB Air. I have always preferred Air's to Pro's. However, I recently acquired a mid 2015 15" Pro. However, I am finding the trackpad a bit confusing. And I am not talking about Force Touch. On my MB Air, I used to use 3 fingers to drag something...

    Three Finger Drag - Missing in Action

    Just had a little fiddle with macOS Sierra... Love the Picture in Picture, Siri is quite useless... But the worse thing, is that Three Finger Drag seems to have been left out; I know where was a scare about this back in the Yosemite days... But I can't find anyway to configure it on the...

    Macbook Pro Retina 13" Force Touch trackpad.

    I've been using my MBPR 13" for about 8 months now. I don't usually use my trackpad much since I use a wireless mouse most of the time. I tried using force click for the first time and noticed something odd whenever I press the top left corner of the trackpad. It feels heavier and firmer when I...

    Natural/Unnatural Scroll Direction

    Why does Apple call the scrolling setting Natural ? It may be natural to some but not others. Also when connecting a mouse, the settings for the trackpad are applied to the mouse as well. Some people like Natural scrolling for a trackpad but prefer it inverted when using a mouse such as the...

    Multi-Touch trackpad gone bad, how difficult to fix?

    It seems the Multi-Touch trackpad on my Mid-2009 15" Unibody MBP has gone bad, how difficult to fix? The pointer moves, but has no click. Therefore, I must use an external mouse (Bluetooth or USB) —— so my MacBook Pro Laptop is now a desktop, for all practical purposes. How easy is it to fix...

    Something growing under my trackpad!

    OK, this is really weird. See the pic. This MBP13 mid-2010 was carefully stored clean, dry, and safe in its original box for about 5 months, from last August until sometime in December. It was in perfect condition when I put it away. When I took it out about a month ago, the right side of the...

    Swollen MacBook Pro Battery - Temporarily Store

    Hi, My wife's Macbook Pro had an issue with the trackpad where it was dislodged and she couldn't remember dropping it. I decided to take a look just to see if it was easy enough to push back into place, so I made a backup of the system, powered down and removed the cord and started removing the...
