I'm going to guess it has to do with Bluetooth & WiFi interference.
Essentially, I'll sling files from my external HD to or from my NAS. And my Magic Trackpad will go through a series of "Connection Lost" and "Connected" notifications. This is a brand new Magic Trackpad as I've exchanged my old one for this exact reason.
Does anyone know what's going on and what I can do, besides switching to Ethernet?
Works on other user accounts on my iMac but not on mine. All user accounts at home including mine are standard. I use a separate account for Admin. Two finger swipe works at time but with a considerably fast or forceful gesture. Mostly you can see that the previous or next pages or safari show up a bit but the current page just springs back - refusing to move. Have checked my preferences, sensitivity, reset a d repaired the trackpad, deleted the .plist file (unless there are more). Would be good...

With the increased use gestures in Lion a trackpad seems like a very useful accessory but could I also plug in a usb mouse and use both at the same time without having to go into settings to change things?
I have an iMac and in order to take advantage of gestures in OSX Lion, I'm looking into my options. I don't particularly want to pay for a Magic Trackpad. I was thinking the Wacom Bamboo Touch (which can be had quite cheaply) might be an option, but Wacom has said that it uses a different engine and won't support Lion Gestures, at least for the foreseeable future. Does anyone know of any other options?
At the risk of sounding dainty, sometimes when I try to scroll around with the Trackpad, there will be a little too much friction on the pad and it feels uncomfortable. I'm considering greasing up my fingers or the trackpad. :) Anyone else?
I wasn't super impressed with the Trackpad when it was first introduced, but given all of the emphasis on gestures and swipes in Lion's UI I'm wondering whether it might not be time to give it another shot (I'd be using it with an iMac). If it were a little cheaper I probably wouldn't think about it, but $70 is just enough to give me pause before buying, so would love to hear what others think.
I'm planing to buy an iMac and they offer both options for the same price. The main use of this iMac will be for editing in Above Lightroom. Most mice feel small in my hand, making me interested in the Trackpad. What say you?
Since getting the Magic Trackpad I have created a number of custom gestures that are extremely useful in my workflow using BetterTouchTool. BetterTouchTool has a lot of gestures to choose from and can be applied to nearly any action you can imagine. After using a developer enabled iPad for so long though I find myself wishing I could use a 4-5 finger pinch gesture while using the Trackpad. I haven't been able to find any software capable of doing this however, which is rather disappointing. Has...

I throw it in my satchel (Indiana Jones wore one) to go between work and home and right now just use the box it came in to pack it up. There's gotta be a better way.
I know there's not a lot of games on the Mac but if you have a Steam account, you can try it on portal or on Star Craft 2. So how is it? Does it respond well? Does it affect your game play? Is it even feasible to game with the Magic Trackpad?
The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in
