Magic Trackpad connectivity with Ventura 13.2 update

FWIW, I still have the original Magic Trackpad (batteries) and had trouble getting it to connect at all with Macs running Ventura 13.2.1 & Monterey 12.6.3. Connected to an iMac running Catalina without issue.

I guess it's incompatible at any rate. FWIW, the A1339 Magic Trackpad was discontinued in 2015.

I looked it up on Amazon but I may have bought it twice over the years and this pad is definitely A1339 (it's on the back) though the last time I bought it was 2018. Maybe I have that one floating around somewhere else and got them mixed up.

Regardless I have some strange good news. I decided to reboot to Big Sur to see if the problem was the Trackpad itself and there were no problems. Then, when I rebooted to Ventura, this Trackpad paired up nicely and is working fine! (I had tried a restart in Ventura at the beginning of troubleshooting this but that didn't work. Having shut downs completely and restarted is what seems to have made this get recognized.)

ok...I was looking at your original post that shows your Mac Mini. Sorry for the confusion.

Per your post:

If your device can be updated from Big Sur, I highly recommend you do so. What age is your Mac mini?

Interesting. Glad it's working for you. Personally I don't use Trackpads on my Desktops. :) But it's good to know it's possible to get it working. Of course that model doesn't support Force Touch.
