Help with Cursor???

[bryanc28]

I just got a Macbook (my first ever) and I am quite confused. I just want to use the pointer/cursor. I keep having to click the bar below the keypad to do things. Is there a way just to use the track pad only? Thanks for your answer(s) in advance...

You'll just need to make a small preferences change.

On Snow Leopard, go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Tap to click

On Leopard, go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad > Trackpad Gestures > Clicking

I think I am correct on the Leopard method. I don't have an install anymore, so those instructions are from memory only.

Good luck with the new Mac! :)

Hey thanks. I really love the smoothness of this machine. Gotta lot to learn, tho.
