Trackpad not working after macOS High Sierra upgrade

Hi again ! this is the latest version I can find on Mobeetechnologies website. I tried to re install it and restart computer but still says "no magic trackpad detected" and my Magic Trackpad is well connected via bluetooth.. 🙁

Try going to the Bluetooth menu in System Preferences and disabling it, then re-enabling it.

If that does not fix it, try: How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support.

It should work still. So you are saying the trackpad itself works, but you have a third party number pad attached to it that does not? In that case I would check with the manufacturer and see if it is supported on the new macOS.

UPDATE: embarrassingly, restarting the machine solved the problem below.

My issue is similar but different. I just upgraded to High Sierra (Late 2014 iMac) and have an apple trackpad. The trackpad works for moving the cursor but for nothing else. For example, I cannot open mission control or swipe anything. I cannot open new spaces. In the toolbar it says that bluetooth is unavailable. In system preferences It says that Bluetooth is off (see attached) but the option to turn it on is greyed out. Still, the trackpad and keyboard must be communicating with the computer somehow. When I went into "mouse" on system preferences, I could change the tracking speed on the trackpad. When I went in the "trackpad" in system preferences, it says it is not connected.

Thanks for any help.

try to download the last version of the Numpad-app again on a site that still offers the app

re-install that "new" version after having deleted the "old" app (even if seem the same)

restart your mac

the icon will not be in the menu-bar, you have to start the app

make a shortcut that you will have to use after each restart of the mac

here it works fine...

Kriskool, is your startup drive an SSD?

I had the same issue, and ended up just reverting to Sierra, in part because it broke Magic Numpad.

But the reason I ask about the SSD is that High Sierra automatically installs APFS, the new file system - but only on SSDs, not spinning drives.

And one of the issues I had - missing Logic Pro session templates - was because APFS doesn't support hard links. I wonder whether that's related to Magic Numpad not working for us.

(I think the Logic issue was solved in the latest version, but Mobee seems to be gone - and Magic Numpad supports the original Magic Trackpad, not the current one that goes with the lousy Magic Keyboard [not the original one, which is perfect], so an update would be a longshot even if they were still around.)

how do you then explain that my Mobee Numpad works with the latest version of the Mobee app on High Sierra

only flaw is that the app does not appears in the menubar when restarting the iMac, I have to restart the app again when the start is done

I don't know, guyguy, which is why I'm posting here to try and find a solution so I can use High Sierra!

Is your startup drive an SSD? If not, that's one possible explanation. I reinstalled the app on my machine (which does have an SSD) and it didn't work.

Thank you for tour post. Yes I have a SSD + Hard drive both mounted as a FusionDrive and I heard that such a combinaison wasn't converted to APFS by High Sierra yet. As I am not a Logic Pro user so I don't know about the issue. I dont intend either to go back to Sierra just because of the Numpad issue.. and I use the previous Trackpad, not the new one.

as another solution, you can buy a LMP Numpad (+- 50 euros)

I use such a device with my Mac mini, it works fine

no app, you just have to pair it with the computer

it is not a trackpad, just a numeric keyboard that sits near the Magic Keyboard (it can be attached)

design is good if not the same construction as the Mac product

I actually had a LMP one, in fact I was one of their first customers. But it stopped working and I bought the Belkin one, which frankly is less finicky (it always connects right away).

But I use a Magic Trackpad mostly for gestures, and I only replace it with the Belkin 10-key when I'm entering a lot of numbers - for example during tax time. So the Mobee is still useful when I need a 10-key but don't want to move the Trackpad (having both + the keyboard is too much).

I have the same issue but in my case I am also not able to perform any double click on my trackpad.

For example moving windows around or take a screeshot is not possible any longer since the update to 10.13.2

My integrated Mousepad stoped working (Mouse cursor locked in the upper left corner; I managed to work in the meantime with an external mouse) but with the recent update to Sierra 10.13.3 the Mouse pad resumed to work fine (MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014).

Hope it will remain like that.

Hello. I hope it's okay that I jump into this thread. I got a new Imac and I'm trying to pair the Magic Trackpad. Apparently there is software that I'm supposed to download? I found an update but when I try to install it , It says it doesn't work with 10.7. The trackpad was paired to my old computer and worked fine. Any help would be appreciated
