 Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 12:03 pm Post subject: Track Pad and MacBook Pro |
 |
|
My trackpad does not work when my mouse is disconnected unless I turn off the "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option. However, if I do that, my trackpad is always active, whether or not the mouse is plugged in.
The PowerBook worked correctly, so either the MBP is broken or I have a bad setting somewhere.
I am using a Kensington Mouse and I have Mouseworks installed, but it knows when the mouse is unplugged, which means the recognition circuitry/software is working. The MBP doesn't seem to know. |

I'm on a MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo) and am running Mac OS X 10.4.9. The option to ignore the trackpad when a mouse is present works just fine. |

Robert-
I've used a Kensington USB mouse for several years on various machines, yet I never installed Mouseworks.
I just plugged it into an available port on a USB-1 hub, and it appears to be working on this Intel iMac. The only problem is the scroll-wheel doesn't work. The Apple mighty mouse is still plugged into the keyboard and working as well. When I unplugged the mighty mouse, there was no change in the Kensington performance.
Is it possible that your problem is related to a Mouseworks incompatibility with your MBP?

Yes, but the opposite doesn't. |

If your MBP is under warranty, call Apple to ask about the problem. |
