I have an older trackpad that I want to use with my new M1 iMac. It tries to connect but loses connection almost immediately. Battery life is 84% on the trackpad. Always lose connection before I can set it up, or loses connection after I set it up. Any ideas out there?
What version of Mac OS is installed?
Yea, I just ordered a new one.
It may be because the iMac is now using Bluetooth 5.0.
I have to agree, it may be a compatibility. issue using the older Track Pad. Have you considered getting the newer Magic Trackpad?
I have 8 gig of Ram. Already about to get overloaded. Hoping adding more storage will help. Getting a 16 gig machine would be too time consuming. Hopefully adding SSD will help with my potential dilemma. Want to store tons of stuff that is currently on my HD drive on the 2011 iMac. I don't want to be disappointed that I bought an 8 gig machine. I've purchased RAM for the old iMac and am maxed out there with 32 gig. guy at the Apple store said new 8 gig cannot be compared to the old machine.
MacOS Big Sur version 11.4
I am also looking at an external drive for my new iMac. Any suggestions?
Most experienced users prefer OWC drives. If you can describe how you intend to use it, we can be a little more specific as OWC makes lots of different drives.
