How to put Magic Trackpad 2 into Discovery Mode

I have a Magic Trackpad 2. I previously had it paired with my Mac. I then had it set up to work with another computer. I now want to use it with my Mac again and it will not work.

I have followed the suggestions in this question to no avail.

I have tried resetting the Bluetooth module on my mac. I have tried clearing all the connected devices from my mac. The trackpad is fully charged. It works when connected via a wire. I've tried turning the trackpad on and off and that does not help. My Mac just can not see it via Bluetooth.

Is there a way to force the Magic Trackpad 2 into discovery mode?

Solution 1:

To setup a Magic Trackpad 2 you have to connect it to your Mac using the Lightning cable.

Connect the Trackpad, make sure device's power is on, setup using Bluetooth section of System Preferences.
