The Magic Trackpad ' tap to click on "no longer works after update to 10.11.6

I have a retina 15' MBP mid 2014. My magic trackpad was working fine before the update. After the update to 10.11.6, I could no longer "tape for click on ' even if the option has been enabled in my preferences. The trackpad on the macbook works fine but the magic trackpad isn't.

List of things I've tried so far:

1. the removal of the plist file: com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad and restarting

2 reset the smc

3 reset pvram

4 disable pairing and repair the magic trackpad

5. activating / deactivating ' tap to click on ' option within the system pref

I'm running out of things to try here. Someone please help. Thank you!

  • Reference Dell 375 Bluetooth no longer works after update Windows 8, R296919, blocked by the Compatibility Assistant programs - how to fix

    Hardware: Dell laptop with adapter Bluetooth 375 Dell running Windows 8

    Problem: after Microsoft Windows 8 update, all Bluetooth devices stopped working.  Moreover, they could is more to be discovered to pair them up.  Device Manager showed all works very well.

    Failure of attempts to repair:
    -Uninstall all components of Bluetooth in the Device Manager and analysis of the material changes.
    -Uninstall Dell 375 in programs & features (WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software) in order to reinstall (R296919).  The installation was quickly blocked by the program compatibility Wizard.
    -With the Dell software uninstalled, I thought that perhaps that it was no longer necessary, and so Microsoft software would work.  Yet once, I uninstalled all Bluetooth components in the Device Manager and analysis of the material changes.  Still could not pair.
    -Check in Bluetooth services and services were running.

    What worked:
    -Run GPEdit and go to the compatibility of the components/Application Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates/Windows /.
    -Enable the following:
    Remove Program Compatibility Property Page
    Turn off Application compatibility engine
    Disable the program compatibility Wizard
    -Run services.msc and stop the process of Bluetooth
    -Extract the R296919 in a directory
    - on R296919.exe and select run as administrator
    -For me, the installation failed the first time.  Then I repeated it, and it was installed fine, but required reset, which I did.
    -At this point, I was able to pair Bluetooth devices again.
    -Open Device Manager and go to the Bluetooth Module Bluetooth/Dell Wireless 375.  and select Properties.  Click the power management tab, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" and press OK.  If you do not perform this step, you will have all kinds of problems with Bluetooth devices, including keyboards and mice.
    -Reverse changes in GPEdit to not configured.
    -Reboot

    How to avoid the problem:
    Microsoft has an updated driver that States it is for the adapter Bluetooth of Dell 375.  on the update and select Hide update.  Microsoft has had quite a few black Tuesday lately, and this update is just another example.

    How long upgrade?

    The reason why I asked for how long, since you said "just upgraded", when I've updated and accounts are back synchronization, the hub and deletions and the lu brand is all slow, sometimes up to 30 minutes after, could be an hour depending on what all is sync and data speed , wifi or not, etc.

    Sometimes, I have seen even delete it and mark read missing icons, even for an hour or two after.

  • z index less than-1 no longer works after update of the player

    I am rebuilding my site to be HTML5 and I had all the Flash stuff works perfectly, where it is placed on the z-index:-2. However, after the Flash Player on my Mac 11.6.602.167 update, he's not less than-1, so it's getting placed above other content. With JavaScript disabled, the < img > No Flash appears in the correct z-index and I triple checked to make sure that the values line up logically. I only download each update, so it is possible that this question, if not my fault, occurred less recently.

    Well, the only working solution I could come up with was to wrap my indexed negative elements and assign this z-index:-1. So the SWF file is no longer at-2, it is 0.

  • Sierra + Magic Trackpad 2 = Force click with a single finger no longer works

    Since the upgrade to Sierra, did someone else, difficulties with the Magic Trackpad 2 and using the force click to pull up definitions? If I turn it back to "tap with three fingers," it works, but is not the "click with one finger. In fact, I'm not sure I can get this intermediate response click at any point that used to be present in El Capitan.

    Hey Lonnie Warpup,.

    If I understand correctly, you are using macOS Sierra and you try to use the power of touch, but it does not perform this action.
    I would recommend that you read these articles, they explain if your device supports the Force Touch, with a setting to enable and disable the Force Touch and how to set the sensitivity and how to turn the Look up feature words.

    The Magic Trackpad and Magic Trackpad 2 supports all available on laptops Apple trackpad gestures.

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.

    3. Click on the tab 'Point & Click '.
    4. Find "Click pressure" and adjust the slider according to your preferences. Note that the sound of the click of Exchange with the click pressure adjustment.

    To turn off the click Force function, uncheck the box 'Force Click and haptic feedback'. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

    • Look up a word: CTRL-click on the word or phrase (in some applications, you may need to select all first), then select find from the context menu. Or type the word or the sentence with three fingers (if the gesture is selected in the Préférences Trackpad).

      If your trackpad supports force by one click, you can set the gesture of looking up to use it instead of a tap. (To force the click, press firmly until you hear a click deep.)

  • 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 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.

    Hey it re-registers,

    I understand that you experience some problems with your selection of Magic Trackpad 2 and window to El Capitan. I would like to as allows you to test this behavior in Mode safe mode to see if the problem is still present:

  • 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

  • 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.
