When I open up the trackpad settings my macbook starts searching for a bluetooth trackpad (which I don't have). I recently had to reinstall the OS, haven't been able to find the trackpad since. clicker works fine

Click to expand...

turn off bluetooth and see if it defaults to the MacBooks trackpad
 
tried that

it's still looking for a "bluetooth trackpad"

----------

i can still control the cursor
 
Is a bluetooth trackpad listed in the Bluetooth settings? (System Preferences -> Bluetooth) If one is, you can try deleting it from the settings menu.
 
Wrong build of the OS was installed. Probably used one for a desktop machine and since you have a portable it doesn't have the proper drivers for the trackpad.
 
darn

I think that must be it...still, i ordered the software specific to the serial number and it says it's for a 2011 macbook pro. is there anything else i should try before i accuse someone somewhere of screwing up?
