Touch Pad

[Zeeinnm]

We were just at the store and I looked at the Mac Air. I could not get the touch to work. I could move the arrow around but it did not seem to like my taps. Is there a secret? Somewhere special to tap? The clerks were all taken and I did not have time to wait.

You have to press it like a push button. Not much force but the tap is a different function. Press and you will hear a "Click"

If I recall correctly, tap to click is not enabled by default. You would have had to turn it on in System Preferences. Without this enabled, you needed to press hard enough to make the trackpad make a sound to register your clicks.

you have to enable it.

That's right, I forgot you can set it up that way. I tried it out in the beginning but found myself accidentally tapping when I did not intend too. I prefer the press to click but that is just my personal preference.

You need to click it

Push down the lower third of the touchpad to execute a left click. Right click is done by pushing it down with 2 fingers close to each other.

Thanks, everyone. I was hoping I was just doing something wrong.
