Reset the trackpad

Hi all,

I'm wondering how I would go about resetting the trackpad on my MBP. I don't know whether the tracking has gone slightly but I just wanted to put it back to factory settings.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

You might want to try a SMC reset:

That's odd--I clicked on it myself and was directed to the Apple article. However, you might want to try Googling "Error 204--not found". It sounds like a Windows glitch of some sort--not sure why you would get it on a Mac. I have no idea why you would have gotten this error.

There's nothing wrong with the link, Carl. I suspect you just had a momentary browser glitch. Try clicking on it again.

I've been having a similar wish to reset the trackpad settings and I finally resetted it with the help of timemachine: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11028212&#11028212

It must have been a temporary glitch and one that shouldn't happen on a Mac?

I can load the link properly now. Thanks for that.
