Using the Trackpad
How far the pointer moves onscreen is based on how quickly you move your finger
across the trackpad. To move the pointer a short distance, move your finger slowly
across the trackpad; the faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves
onscreen. You can also adjust the tracking speed in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of
System Preferences.
You can scroll vertically or horizontally in a window that has scroll bars, by moving two
fingers on the trackpad. You can turn this option on or off in the Keyboard & Mouse
pane of System Preferences.
In addition to using the trackpad button, you can use your finger to click and
double-click directly on the trackpad. You can turn on these features and other
trackpad options in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.
Tips for Using the Trackpad
For best results when using the trackpad:
 Use only one finger, except when the scrolling feature is turned on and you want to
scroll.
 Do not use a pen or any other object.
 Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from
humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.
 Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.

menu bar at the top of the screen.
