Hi all,
I just received my Magic TrackPad today. Thanks to the previous emails on this
topic, I had no problems pairing the TrackPad with my iMac. I am, however,
having troube doing anything with the trackPad. Is there a film over the pad
that one must remove? I'm finding that swiping isn't doing anything. Pressing
down on the trackpad to simulate a mouse click works, but not sure when and how
to use it. I've read through the manual and saw nothing about removing any
plastic film, but it sure seems like something is preventing my swipes from
working.
Also, I was expecting that using the Magic TrackPad would be similar to using
the touch screen on the iPhone, but it seems very different.
Thanks for any help,
Russell
