I have a BT mighty mouse and the trackpad set to be ignored when a mouse is present in system preferences. However, every now and then I scuttle off with my ibook somewhere else in the house and don't take the mighty mouse with me. As it is still in range though I can not use the trackpad and am stuck with no pointer input and have to scuttle back to get it and disable it. Obviously I should just switch off the mighty mouse or take it with me in the first place but I am lazy..... so, is there anyway to switch the trackpad back on, or the mighty mouse / bluetooth off with the mighty mouse being "present" in bluetooth terms but not actually in my hand? This would save me an awful lot of scuttleing! Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

In System Prefs just make sure you haven't ticked the 'ignore trackpad when mouse is present' option.
Then you can use both.
