[QUOTE="dubdub, post: 894253, member: 115920"] Spent 45 minutes on the phone with Apple this afternoon. Conclusion is there is no real fix. Techie didn't know if Snow Leopard will fix it or not. Tried to drop some code in Terminal but that didn't work either. Open Terminal and input following command: "defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.ignoreTrackpadIfMousePresent 1" 1: Disable Trackpad (Ignore) 0: Enable Trackpad Log out and log in again then it will take effort.
