Hi Pat, When you turn the Track Pad on does the green light start blinking? If not: When you turn it on, the green light goes on but it does not start blinking, and trackpad in system preferences can't find your trackpad. Hold down the 'on' button on the trackpad until the light starts to blink. This is a reset that forces the trackpad to 'unlink' with whatever it thinks it is linked to, and to make itself discoverable. Once the green light is blinking, just go to trackpad in system preferences and it will quickly discover your new device.
