Yes, I am used to the old trackpad too and I wondered if this was just a matter of getting used to the new one, but I think this is a problem with the pad itself. Thanks.

I find it tiresome: and I find the new trackpad difficult also because of my habit of leaving my thumb on the click bar of the old trackpad (as one does with the space bar in a typewriter) which means, when it's at the bottom of the new click bar free trackpad, I'm enacting all sorts of gestures when I don't mean to. One of these was changing the size of the icons on my desktop. I finally cured this by turning off the zoom gesture. It's a shame that you cna't turn gestures on and off for different applications, areas of work etc. Ranulph On 8 Jan 2011, at 10:19, dereksnoxall wrote: Thanks to SMUG I have successfully transferred data to the new MBA, which is working fine - except for the trackpad, which functions erratically. At times the pointer freezes and won't work at all, then it suddenly comes to life again. I've tried adjusting the settings in System Preferences, but this had made no difference. Has anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions? Thanks. Regards Derek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
