[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1129079, member: 6762"] Ok, this is annoying me and Apples built in system help is referencing options that are clearly NOT available. I recently got a new MacBook to replace my aging iBook G4. For the most part I only use this machine (as I did the iBook) when I am on travel (as I am now) and it usually sits on the desk in my hotel with a Logitech Trackball mouse attached. Now, on my iBook I was able to disable the trackpad when the mouse was plugged in, there was a checkbox or two that would set it up. Apple's help is pointing me towards this for the Macbook but obviously the trackpad prefs for this machine don't have that option. Maybe I'm just overlooking the obvious or am just stupid but how in the heck do I stop the trackpad from functioning when the mouse is plugged in or can I even do so? Here is a pic of the trackpad prefs, nothing there to turn it off that I can find... [ATTACH=full]13652[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
