Software Update should have shown it after you originally setup the Track Pad. You can check by Opening Software Update > Preferences - click on "Installed Software", scroll to find Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Update version 1.0 <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066> Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0 Cheers, Ronni -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
