Q: Magic Trackpad Stopped Working Properly After Upgrade
Hi there. I have been trying to fix a problem with my magic trackpad for two weeks now, and I have run out of ideas, so I thought I would see if anyone has any. I have a Macbook Pro circa 2011 that bought second hand, and the trackpad never worked on it properly, it was always jumpy. Luckily, I had wanted to use my magic trackpad with it anyway, and have done so ever since. I have had problems over the years where it selects things or does weird stuff, but I just had to press the power button and then esc to get it to work again. However, now I have a serious issue that I cannot resolve since I upgraded to the latest version of El Capitan.
Now the magic trackpad and laptop trackpad work fine on startup, but when my Mac wakes up from sleep, I can no longer tap or "left click" on either the magic trackpad, or the inbuilt trackpad. I can't select programs or click on anything. The only way to get my mac working again is to completely switch off the magic trackpad , and then the inbuilt one starts to work again. I can't just turn the other one back one again though, because it does the same thing again until I switch it off.
I have tried the following and had no change:
- Deleting all bluetooth devices and adding trackpad again
- Deleting bluetooth plist files
- Resetting SMC
- Resetting PRAM
- Turning off bluetooth on all devices besides macbook
- Unplugging the magsafe adaptor
Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Thanks in advance
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
