I just purchased a new magic trackpad which I was very excited about. I was able to pair it with my mac 100% fine, but it seems that it is not recognizing the gestures. Moving the mouse and clicking works fine. Any ideas what to do? Could I have a lemon?
 
Yeah, I guess that I should have run software update. It is working properly now! Thanks for your quick response. However I am surprised that Apple didn't put a message in the packaging saying to make sure to run software update.

They did on page 2 of the User Guide that comes with the MT.
Quick Start
Your wireless Apple Magic Trackpad uses Bluetooth® technology to connect to your Mac and comes with two AA batteries installed.
Read these instructions to update your software, learn about the indicator light, pair and use your trackpad, and replace the batteries.​

Updating Your Software
To use your Apple Magic Trackpad and all its features, update your Mac to Mac OS X version 10.6.4 or later, and then install the latest trackpad software.
To update to the latest version of Mac OS X, choose Apple (K) > Software Update from the menu bar and follow the onscreen instructions.
When installation is complete and you restart your Mac, use Software Update again to make sure all available updates are installed.​
