Should the Trackpad be active on connecting a Mice?
« on: October 04, 2011, 03:10:33 AM »
Hello there,

I have MAC OS X, have recently only connected a Mice to it. Should the Trackpad still be active? I can move the pointer by both the mediums. Is this pretty normal OR, only one of these should work?

I went to the Apple store once-there was a MacBook Pro with a Magic Mouse connected to it. Both the mouse and the laptop touchpad were able to control the mouse when the mouse was plugged in.

In OSX I think you can check "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present"  in the Trackpad tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preferences. Or not, if you prefer.

PS the singular is mouse.
