I brought a brand new 13" MacBook today. After choosing English at the beginning of setup, I cannot register Australia as the region. The touch pad does not work at all. The up/down arrows will scroll, but the enter button does not work. I have tried all the tips on page 40 with no result. Frustrating!

Hold down the power button on the top right hand of the keyboard to turn the MacBook Air off and then try going through the set up screens again.
Nope! I went through all the reset suggestions in the apple help section (pages 40/41) but nothing has worked. I see through these various threads that this has been a big problem with a lot of MBA's
Sorry, thats not quite true - there are a number of people who have had this experience, but no solutions other than to take it back to the Apple store.
This problem is solved. I contacted the Apple Support and apparently many MacBook Air touch pad has been set up in the factory to need a click. I didn't realize that if you put your finger on the touchpad and press gently, you will actually hear and feel a 'click'. That should sort out your problem. Once you get into system preferences, you can work out exactly what your touchpad preferences are.
Whew. Thanks Apple Support!
