The Magic Trackpad recognized don't no MacBook Pro (new)
I recently bought a MacBook Pro with the retina, under OS X 10.11.5. My Magic Trackpad legacy will not pair with it (other devices works well). I tried a number of approaches that I've seen in the support articles, without success. I got a Magic Trackpad to my former employer, and it worked with the MacBook Pro I used here. Any suggestions on getting this to work, or, is pairing - this device is no longer supported?

The Magic Trackpad stopped working properly after the upgrade
Hello. I tried to solve a problem with my magic trackpad for two weeks now, and I'm running out of ideas, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any. I have a Macbook Pro 2011 who bought second-hand, and the trackpad has never worked properly in this respect, he was always nervous. Fortunately, I wanted to use my magic trackpad with her anyway and have done so since then. I had problems over the years where he selects or done some weird things, but I just had to press the power button / stop, then esc to get back to work. However, now, I have a serious question that I can't solve since I've upgraded to the latest version of El Capitan.
Now the magic trackpad and the laptop trackpad work very well at the start, but when my Mac wakes up from sleep, I can no longer tap or 'left click' on the magic trackpad, or the built-in trackpad. I can't select the programs or click on anything whatsoever. The only way to get my mac works again is to switch off the magic trackpad, and that integrated then starts working again. I can't simply turn the other back a new if, it does the same thing again until I turn it off.
I tried the following and had no change:
-Removal of all bluetooth devices and add the trackpad again
-Deleting files plist bluetooth
-Reset the SMC
-Reset the PRAM
-Turn off bluetooth devices in addition to the macbook
-Disconnect the magsafe adapter
Someone at - it any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Use the Magic Trackpad to Bypass built in Trackpad
Genius diagnosed bad trackpad in my MacBook 2012. Rather than sending repair ($310), I bought Magic Trackpad 2 to work around the problem. Engineering directed me to go to the preference of accessibility, and then click "Ignore built in mouse or trackpad when wireless trackpad is present." I've had that happen and that you can use Magic Trackpad 2 to point and click HOWEVER no other features are available. I can't tap, pinch, rotate, etc. When I click on Preferences of the Magic Trackpad 2, I see a screen indicating that the trackpad prefs are disabled, with no way to turn on the features of the Magic Trackpad 2. Anyone know how I can release all the Magic Trackpad 2 features while ignoring the built in trackpad?
As long as the built-in trackpad is not interfering with your comments in a way (for example causing unwanted movements of the cursor) I would have thought you could disable 'ignore' and just use the external trackpad.

The Magic Trackpad 2 disconnects sleep
Recently, I buy the Magic Trackpad 2 to use with my iMac. Whenever my computer goes to sleep the trackpad disconnects and I have to turn it off and turn it on back to connect. The battery does not seem to be the problem - is 98%.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
Don't know if you saw this Apple document but it is interesting to look at. You wouldn't believe some harmless situations that may affect your devices. I hope that something he will put you on the right track.

Share the magic trackpad for the new Magic Trackpad 2?
I can negotiate the magic trackpad for the new Magic Trackpad 2?
Apple does not trade for these items. Your best option is to sell (on Amazon or eBay, for example) and then buy a new one. Ask yourself the question that Apple want to do with your old trackpad.
Two other things, your iMac does not run iOS 9.3.3; your profile must be updated. And if you are running an operating system that you are weaker than El Capitan, the new Magic Trackpad 2 may not work fully.

The Magic Trackpad 2 first plan window Focus problem
I had the strangest question with my Magic Trackpad 2 on El Capitan (10.11.3.) When I am in the window of one application and tap/click to another application window, application of the new window comes to the foreground, but the old app is still under discussion. So if I try a keypad at this stage or type text, is what actually performing in the old app and not the new foreground application.
For example, suppose that I open Safari and TextEdit and I am browsing a page in Safari. 50% of the time if I use my Magic Trackpad 2 to tap or click on in the document window empty TextEdit of Safari, TextEdit window will come in the home of prominent and Safari will be the background window, but if I start typing the text or press CMD - N to a new document, it will operate on Safari instead of TextEdit. This is just one example - literally, it happens with any application.
I messed with all: accessibility for the Trackpad, trackpad settings, settings etc. No background apps or mouse extension installed applications. Tried both wireless and connected via cable to the lightning. Magic Mouse does not appear to have this problem, Trackpad 2 only.
Anyone else having this problem? It drives me crazy and makes use of the Magic Trackpad 2 on OS X pretty useless.

The Magic Trackpad 2 will not pair correctly with a Mac Mini
I just bought a 2014 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, Mac Mini and the Magic Trackpad 2 but I can't match the trackpad. When I connect the trackpad by using the usb cable, the functions of a mouse, but the bluetooth does not. I caught a third party mouse, who plugged, unplugged the trackpad and was able to get the pair via bluetooth; However, when I open the Trackpad settings, it says that it cannot find the trackpads. I would obviously like to be able to configure the trackpad and see how much load is on it, but I can't do it without the paired properly.
Are you running at El Capitan (OS X 10.11.2)? Which is necessary for all the features of the new mouse and trackpad.

I was in the middle of an update when my Macbook Pro closing in on me, and when he turned back, he wouldn't let log me into my account. I know that my password and everything, but this isn't just me connect. I have to restart the laptop? If so is there a way I can save all my documents? Please help as soon as POSSIBLE.
Was it a software update from apple? When an apple update requires a restart, it may take a little time so that it starts. If it do not, you can try a reboot. What year MBP and operating system you are running. If everything fails and you have the recovery partition. You can start on it and do a reinstall. This should not delete any personal files.
