Re-pairing the Bluetooth connection is usually only required if Smooth scrolling is not initialized, which can happen if you wake up your computer from sleep.
In case the re-pairing process fails, use Restart device driver from the Driver menu instead. You can configure the default action in the Bluetooth driver settings.
Prerequisites
Re-pairing works only if the Magic Trackpad has an active Bluetooth connection established.
The Magic Utilities can't re-pair a Magic Trackpad automatically which is turned off or was paired to another computer in the meantime.
The re-pairing process
The process consists of three automatic steps.
- Remove the paired Bluetooth device.
- Pair the Magic Trackpad again as a Bluetooth device.
- Wait until the Magic Trackpad becomes active.
During this time, a wait dialog indicates the individual steps.
If one step fails, the remaining steps cannot be completed automatically.
Re-pair the Magic Trackpad manually
In case Remove or Pair fail, you have to complete the remaining steps manually.
